Dajin royal family

Chapter 590 Secret Observation (Thanks for the reward of playing with the fish in the water)

Seeing the figures of the two disappearing at the corner of the building, Hong Ba's eyes became dull, without any joy of 'making money', he turned and walked towards the inner room of the teahouse.

A moment later, in the secret room.

"On the [-]rd, several merchants from the south of the Yangtze River recently bought nearly [-] war horses from me, and they were shipped out of the city in batches. I have already figured out the hidden manpower along the way. When shall we do it?"

Behind the curtain, a figure was reflected on the screen.

"Don't worry, there's news from the clown." The figure was writing something at his desk, and his moderate voice came to Hong Ba's ears through the curtain and screen.

Hong Ba's expression became serious in an instant, and he asked, "What's the matter?"

"Do you remember the Ma Zheng who asked you to buy a horse a few days ago?"

"Remember, do you want us to do something to him?" Hong Ba was puzzled, "I haven't fully figured out their smuggling route. Will doing it at this time be a warning?"

"No, the clown asked us to keep an eye on Ma Zheng, Sang Lou, and that Pei Ningwen, especially Pei Ningwen. The clown said that we must find out all his details!"

Stopped writing, No. [-] straightened his waist, and reminded: "This matter is not trivial, and we must not make mistakes, otherwise our lives will be in danger."

"Yes, I understand!"

Sang's Restaurant.

Pei Ningwen was admitted by the imperial court with extremely poor results in the imperial examination. After the new year, he will go to Wenxi County to take up his post.

To be honest, he didn't want to go to Wenxi County.Even though it was his hometown, he went to Wenxi County. As long as he didn't make a big mistake, he could basically eat a mouthful of imperial food comfortably.

But is that what you want?
Once he went to Wenxi County, no matter what achievements he made, would the court recognize him?

That was Pei's base camp, and it was impossible for him to be recognized by others even if he wandered around in the base camp, and no one would even look at him at all.

He felt that once he went to Wenxi County, he would basically be abandoned by the Pei family, just like his father, who had been an official for a few years, and then mixed with seniority, resigned from the Hui family to take care of family affairs.

He is not willing!

Pei Ningqing and Pei Yuanyan are now the two most popular people in the clan. When the clan mentions them, they all give a thumbs up. The three elders of the clan even regard Pei Ningqing and Pei Yuanyan as the future pillars of the Pei clan in the court.

What is he?
He is the eldest grandson of the current Patriarch!
Because he missed the opportunity back then, would he have to bear such a reputation?

The clansman respected him and respected him on the surface, but in private they regarded him as a disgrace to Pei's direct lineage.

He is neither blind nor deaf, and he knows what the clansmen talk about him behind their backs.

He thought that participating in the imperial examination would be a shame, but he never expected that the imperial examination would deal him a heavy blow and make his situation worse.

Now, even his own grandfather is cold-faced towards him.

He felt the deep malice in this world, and he couldn't imagine what would happen when he was with Pei Ningqing and Pei Yuanyan again in the future.

I'm afraid, he will be on pins and needles.

pat!

The jug fell to the ground and shattered, and a trace of wine flowed out from the spout, soaking a small piece of carpet. Pei Ningwen was lying on the table, his cheeks were smoldering.

When Sang Lou and Ma Zheng walked in, they both showed dissatisfaction on their faces.Today is the day they met to discuss things, and they drank so much.

Ma Zheng picked up the tea on the case table and poured it neatly on Pei Ningwen's face.

After applying cold water to his face, Pei Ningwen immediately woke up.

"Master Sun, have you had enough sleep?" Ma Zheng sneered coldly, walked to him and knelt down.

Sang Lou dissatisfied: "How can you drink so much wine today?"

Pei Ningwen endured the anger in his heart, and said: "Isn't everything settled, what can I do for you?"

Sang Lou explained: "We found out that the person surnamed Hong sold another two hundred war horses to other people, which means that the person surnamed Hong must still have war horses in his hands."

Pei Ning gritted his teeth and said: "Don't go too far. At this juncture, smuggling so many war horses will definitely be discovered by the court. If it is exposed, we will all die!"

"How could it be? Your grandfather is the Minister of Rites. With him here, I think we will be fine." Ma Zheng smiled, and that smile looked vicious to Pei Ningwen.

Ten thousand thoughts of killing the other party flashed through Pei Ning's mind, but they all disappeared in the end. He was too involved with the other party, and if the other party was exposed, he would not be able to escape the responsibility.

"You all know about the investigation. Most of the officials under our Pei family have been cleared out. If others pay attention, we will be exposed soon."

Sang Lou said: "It's still the old rule. It's safe to take the route in Hedong County. It's just that you're going to Wenxi to take up the post. It's more convenient to operate."

"Couldn't it be slower?" Pei Ningyan held on to the last ray of hope.

"No!" Ma Zheng refused, and his face became serious, "Now that the Northern Jin Dynasty has taken down Bashu Hanzhong, Chen Bing has returned to Zigui, and Xiao Liang is hard to rely on, we can only rely on ourselves to become stronger. After a day, the Northern Jin Dynasty will become stronger." Day, must not be delayed any longer."

"This time, consider it the last time. We won't bother you when you go to Wenxi."

Pei Ningfan rolled his eyes, what does it mean not to bother him, he obviously thinks he is useless.

"Well, this is the last time."

Ma Zheng was not at all surprised by Pei Ning's compromise. In his opinion, Pei Ning was already on the same boat as them. They were exposed. With the military horses that Pei Ning helped them smuggle in the past, he could not escape the Northern Jin Dynasty. pursue.

Even Pei Ju couldn't keep him!
The biggest military horse smuggler in Taiyuan was Hong Ba. After Ma Zheng and Pei Ningan made it clear, they found Hong Ba without stopping.

Because of No. [-]'s instructions, Hong Ba made a side-swipe about Ma Zheng's transaction and obtained a lot of useful information.At the same time, Taiyuan's underground intelligence system was operating rapidly, and countless eyes were fixed on the whereabouts of Pei Ningwen, Sang Lou, and Ma Zheng.

One night a few days later, a manor ten miles outside Taiyuan City.

This manor is one of Pei's properties, and it is usually handed over to Pei Ning to take care of it.At this moment, there are [-] war horses with fine coats in the manor.

Ma Zheng lit a torch, looked at the war horse's piercing eyes, gently stroked the horse's mane with his palm, and said with emotion: "No wonder the Northern Jin cavalry are so sharp. Such a war horse is really handsome."

The source of war horses in the whole world was controlled by the Northern Jin Dynasty. If the other three countries wanted to obtain war horses and form cavalry, they had to secretly smuggle them from Taiyuan.

However, this is only a drop in the bucket. If you want to form an organized cavalry team, it is really difficult to achieve it by smuggling alone.

Pei Ning shrank his neck, looked at the war horses in the courtyard, and sighed in his heart.This is another vote for him, since he fell into the trap of Sanglou, it has been difficult for him to escape.

"It's time to go." Pei Ningwen walked to Ma Zheng's side and reminded him.

Ma Zheng nodded and said: "Don't worry, our people have already responded outside. At this time, there will be no one outside."

"Whether there is anyone or not, get out of here quickly." Pei Ningyan urged.

For some reason, he always felt a sense of uneasiness quietly entrenched in his heart.It may be that the night walks are more likely to increase the possibility of encountering ghosts.

Ma Zheng sneered, "Look at your guts, weren't you very gutsy when you found the mother and daughter?"

Hearing this, Pei Ningfan's cheeks turned purple.

"Stop talking too much, and leave quickly."

Ma Zheng didn't bother to continue beating him, and said slowly: "Don't worry, when you go to Wenxi County, I will ask someone to send the mother and daughter Hua to the Zhuangzi outside to raise them. You can go whenever you want."

As he spoke, a narrow smile appeared on his face.

What kind of bullshit aristocratic family are all fucking beasts in clothes.

Pei Ningyan flicked his sleeves and turned his back.

Seeing his angry appearance, Ma Zheng didn't bother to continue arguing with him, turned around and asked his men to tie up the horses, and then left the manor in an orderly manner.

Pei Ningyan looked at the cavalry team that disappeared into the darkness, and his momentum sank.

This day, when is the head.

What he didn't know was that in a certain attic of this manor, a group of people gathered by the window. From the angle of this window, they just had a panoramic view of what Pei Ningwen and others had done.

After the horse team disappeared completely and the manor became quiet.

In the darkness, the torch was lit, followed by a few candles, and the dim light illuminated the room.

Jiang Chengxiao looked out of the window calmly with his eyes. Beside him, Pei Ju was trembling all over, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his eyes were bloodshot, as if his soul had been drawn out.

Nan Jiyun and other guards stood quietly behind them.

Pfft!
Pei Ju knelt down abruptly, there was no trace of blood on his old face, his dry lips moved again and again, countless thoughts flashed through his heart, but he didn't know how to express it when he reached his mouth.

In other words, what kind of reason can the king not involve the entire Pei family because of a fool?
