Chapter 207 Do you think I'm cruel?
The guard bowed and saluted, and said respectfully: "My son, Bai Liuye has been sent back to Jinzhou's mother's house."
"The Bai family promised that Bai Liuye will not be allowed to return to the capital during his lifetime."
Pei Yi was astonished.
Whether it is a legitimate son or a concubine son, if he is not allowed to return to Beijing forever, it is equivalent to completely giving up the right of inheritance.
Pei Yi glanced at her elder brother, and she understood clearly.
Before, Bai Liulang accused her of committing a murder, which directly sent her to jail.
Her eldest brother is venting his anger on her...
"As for that tricky servant Xu Hansan, we originally planned to deal with him according to the rules of the world."
"Maybe Xu Hansan is Bai Liuye's chief guard."
"In order to save face, the Bai family requests to be dealt with according to Fuchu rules."
"We follow the order of the son, and refuse to recognize private family law."
"If the speech does not follow the rules of the rivers and lakes, it can only be handed over to the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture for disposal."
"The Bai family doesn't want to cause a big embarrassment, so they can only admit to Jianghu's handling."
"We would like to follow the order of the son of the world, and did not directly respond, but stepped back and let the Bai family handle it by themselves."
Sparing such a big circle, finally let the Bai family deal with it according to the rules of Fuchu.
However, this series of behaviors is also easy to understand.
Her elder brother actually never planned to deal with Xu Hansan himself from the very beginning.
The reason why the subordinates made such seemingly excessive demands as "disposal in the rivers and lakes" was nothing more than that the eldest brother wanted the Bai family to know exactly what kind of disposal result the Pei family wanted.
After some kindness and power, he naturally kicked the ball back to the Bai family.
But what surprised Pei Yi was that at first, she didn't remember who Xu Hansan was.
It wasn't until the guard said that Xu Hansan was Bai Liulang's chief guard that she belatedly remembered that it was because of Xu Hansan who picked trouble that she was arrested by Zhao Butou of Linhe County and taken to the Fuya Prison.
Now, the eldest brother is talking about Xu Hansan's affairs in front of her, which is obviously supporting her.
"How did the Bai family deal with it?" Pei Xuanzong asked indifferently.
He has a cold aura all over his body, completely different from the gentle and talkative elder brother just now.
Pei Yi's mood was a little delicate, and secretly said that the gap between her elder brother and others was too great.
It's as if... the tenderness of the eldest brother was only given to her.
Pei Yi thought of this, and suddenly felt sweet in her heart, and there was also a little embarrassment that could not be said.
"The Bai family interrupted Xu Hansan's hands and feet, and threw him into the pile of beggars." The guard reported in detail.
Pei Xuanzong snorted coldly, and said sinisterly: "This kind of person should be thrown directly into the Shuanglong River to feed the fish."
The Ssangyong River is the moat of the Imperial City of Kyoto. The current is fast and deep, and those who fall into it have almost no possibility of surviving.
The guard understood that the son was dissatisfied with the result of the punishment, and quickly explained: "Xu Hansan's hands and feet are broken, and he cannot make a living on his own."
"Several homeless men had ill intentions against him, and the gang raped him..."
"Xu Hansan couldn't bear the humiliation, and was tortured to death by these people."
Pei Yi was dumbfounded.
What did she hear?
Did she hear correctly?
Someone started...Xu Hansan?
In her impression, Xu Hansan looks quite wretched, even if someone is interested in a man, they still have to talk to Xu Hansan, right?
Pei Yi glanced at the guard's expression, then at her elder brother's expression, and suddenly woke up.
My good fellow, those hungry homeless men were obviously arranged by her elder brother's subordinates.
"It would be cheaper for Xu Hansan to die so easily." Pei Xuanzong said coldly.
The guard lowered his head, and said sincerely and apprehensively: "This subordinate is ineffective, please punish me."
"It's the first time you've done this kind of thing, and you've done a good job." Pei Xuanzong said slowly and with an extremely cold voice.
"But if you encounter this kind of thing next time, you must remember that if others hurt my Pei family, my Pei family will definitely pay him back."
"If you can't do it, then you are in default."
The guard was terrified, but he also had a sense of security as a member of Pei's family, and replied tremblingly: "My subordinates will remember the instructions of the son."
"Back off." Pei Xuan waved his hands.
"Your subordinate will leave." The guard respectfully withdrew quickly.
Pei Xuanzong then turned to look at his sister.
The coldness in his body faded away, his whole body became gentler, and even the tone of his speech was tinged with warmth.
"Why don't you say anything, do you think I'm too ruthless?" Pei Xuanzong asked half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"Not really..." Pei Yi felt weird, she scratched the back of her hand lightly, and said falteringly, "It's just that Xu Hansan didn't kill me at the beginning, but now..."
"So you still think I'm cruel?" Pei Xuanzong asked with a smile on his face.
"No, no!" Pei Yi repeatedly waved her hands in denial.
Her elder brother was worried about her, and when he knew she had been wronged, he immediately vented his anger on her. How could she have the face to accuse her elder brother of being cruel?
"You clearly think so." Pei Xuanzong gently looked down at his younger sister who was much shorter than him, and said persuasively.
"Fanyin, have you ever thought that if you were just a commoner, and Xu Hansan accused you of slandering you like that back then, you would die in prison in all likelihood?"
Pei Yi was shocked and speechless.
"Xu Han opened his mouth three times and charged you with a big crime."
"It can be seen that he is a person who regards human life as nothing."
"How can such a person complain that others regard his life as worthless?"
"Everything is just a karmic cycle, and retribution is not good."
Pei Xuanzong finished speaking calmly and leisurely.
Pei Yi was speechless, her eyes downcast in silence.
Pei Xuanzong gazed at his younger sister tenderly, and said in a soft voice: "What's more, you are a famous nobleman."
"Xu Hansan is just a humble commoner."
"It is an unforgivable crime for a grassroots person to slander nobles!"
"Don't say that he has the intention to kill, even if he doesn't, it's not a pity for him to die."
Pei Yi only felt deafened.
Even the modern society that advertises "everyone is equal" has an invisible distinction between high and low, let alone the ancient society that paid great attention to hierarchy?
Pei Yi realized belatedly that, as far as her father and brother were concerned, it was already self-degrading for her to "tolerate" Xu Hansan's presumptuous behavior that day.
"What did Dad say about your imprisonment this time?" Pei Xuanzong walked into a side room while talking.
Pei Yi also walked in.
For some reason, she felt a little embarrassed, lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "Father said that there is nothing wrong with what I did, but you don't need to be so patient in exchange for results."
"Father is really reluctant to say harsh words to you." Pei Xuanzong flicked up his clothes and sat on the grand teacher's chair on the left.
