Chapter 351 Deliberate guidance
Huo Yuan sarcastically said with a smile that was not a smile: "Mr. Qilang is very capable, and it is normal for Sanlang to give you the surname Pei. When the country was founded, my father also gave the surname Huo to several capable people."
Qi Sha already had a cold face, but after hearing this, his face became even uglier.
Huo Yuan, the dog man, wanted to say that even if he got the Pei surname, it wouldn't be a big deal, it could only prove that he was a loyal dog of the Pei family. He shouldn't have any nonsense with this dog man, just beat him up is the right way!
Qisha's eyes were cold, and his hands suddenly began to accumulate energy.
Seeing that the momentum was not right, Pei Yi hurriedly spoke out to coordinate: "We are all on the same boat now, shouldn't it be good for everyone to discuss things peacefully?"
Although the faces of the two men were still not very good-looking, they still resentfully chose a truce.
Seeing that the atmosphere was really not suitable for conversation, Pei Yi made an excuse that she wanted to rest, and drove the two men out of the room.
However, if she wanted to hide, she might not be able to hide.
After a while, a yamen servant came to ask her for instructions: "My lord, do you need to tidy up the guest room for His Royal Highness?"
It stands to reason that when a prince or a senior official comes to inspect a place, they usually set up their own Xingyuan somewhere.
But now the third prince has been staying in the government office, and all his luggage is stored here, and he has no intention of leaving at all.
That's why the yamen servant came to ask the county magistrate what he meant, lest there be no room for His Highness to rest, it would be a great sin.
Pei Yi guessed that Huo Yuan would not go out to find an inn to live in, so she ordered: "Your Highness will probably live in our mansion for a few days, please cheer everyone up, don't let His Highness underestimate our mansion .”
The yamen servant solemnly agreed: "My lord, don't worry, and the villain will save you."
When the people in the government office heard that the third prince was going to rest in the county government office, they couldn't help but explode.
"Oh, our county magistrate has too many friends, and even His Royal Highness has such a good relationship with him. In my opinion, this inspection is just a formality. As long as we don't embarrass the county magistrate, the third majesty will not embarrass our county government. of."
"Hey, you guys are ignorant. When the former county magistrate left, I found out. Our Mr. Pei is the son of Pei Xiang's country. Can this backstage not be tough? Let's just follow the county magistrate and work hard. , the benefits are definitely indispensable.”
"Pei Xiangguo? That God of War from our Great Zhou? My God, then our Lord Pei's backing is too strong, right? Which of these squires dare to provoke our Lord?"
"That's not necessarily the case. There is a saying that a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake. After all, Mr. Pei is in our Wanshou County territory. Maybe those squires will bully him."
Everyone discussed and did not come to any conclusions, but they all know that this new Mr. Pei has a strong background, and everyone must be careful in serving him.
at dusk.
Pei Yi, Huo Yuan, and Qisha sat around for dinner.
Although the two men still disliked each other, it was much better than the angry situation in the afternoon.
Although everyone at the table was eating quietly, they were actually hiding something in their hearts.
Pei Yi took a bite of the food, thought for a moment, and started a conversation: "Your Highness, you have to pay attention to Gu Huaiyu. He claimed to be a businessman from Jinzhou, and he came to Wanshou County to deliver goods for business. Your Highness may wish to check Find out what he did in Kyoto."
Huo Yuan stopped eating. He finished chewing the food in his mouth, and then said with a leisurely smile: "Have you noticed this person too? My emperor recently doted on a noodle named 'Gu Changze'. I asked someone to check it out. He came out of my fourth brother's house. And the person who snares Gu Changze for my fourth brother is the Jinzhou businessman you mentioned, Gu Huaiyu."
Pei Yi was surprised for a moment and then understood.
She was too naive before, thinking that launching a rebellion was just a matter of a day. But in fact, before conspiring to rebel, the mobilizers had already made long-term preparations. This is the case with the male protagonist Xiao Junlin—before officially launching the rebellion, he had been active in various places in Beijing long ago, using various methods to win over high-ranking officials and nobles, or useful little people.
"My people searched further and found that Gu Huaiyu not only has contact with my fourth brother, but also has a close relationship with my fifth brother. Not only that, although Gu Huaiyu is a businessman, he is very popular among the noble children of the capital." Huo Yuan Said in a deep voice, "Based on my intuition, this Gu Huaiyu must have some serious background. But this person acts cautiously. So far, I haven't caught him with any clues."
Qisha listened silently. Originally, he was not qualified to intervene in such a situation where the master was chatting. But he thought that he should also make suggestions for San Lang. Since the third prince and San Lang have already talked about this, it is necessary for him to talk about his own views.
"There are indeed too many doubts about Gu Huaiyu." Qi Sha said, "He first came to the door and asked to accompany Sanlang to Wanshou County, and then deliberately caught Sanlang on the way - he was not only taking advantage of Sanlang's power, but also wanted to use Sanlang's Army. From my point of view, if Gu Huaiyu is not a son of a nobleman, he must be an effective staff member of a certain force."
Pei Yi secretly sighed, the boss will know if there is one as soon as he makes a move. Look at these few short sentences, every sentence hits the point.
If she directly reminded that Gu Huaiyu was Xiao Junlin...
"Host, this is not allowed!" The system suddenly popped up and said, "The male protagonist Xiao Junlin is now the son of luck in this small world. Heaven will not allow you to directly sell the male protagonist's information like this."
Pei Yi didn't believe in this evil, and then she found that she couldn't say what she said clearly.
"Look, I have reminded you." The system teased.
Well, since you can't directly say that Gu Huaiyu is Xiao Junlin, then it's okay for her to guide Huo Yuan and the others to investigate in this direction, right?
Pei Yi calmly reminded: "I think that Gu Huaiyu himself is a son of a nobleman. His Highness just said that Gu Huaiyu is very popular in the noble circle of Kyoto. There is another point that His Highness may not be clear about—Qi Sha discovered that Gu Huaiyu was right The art of war is very well studied. Is this kind of person really a merchant? Gu Huaiyu himself claims to be from Jinzhou. Your Highness may wish to find out which family’s son is away from home all year round among the nobles of Jinzhou. reward."
Huo Yuan thought about it for a while, then smiled lightly and said, "That's a good idea. I'll ask someone to investigate."
Pei Yi was secretly delighted, it would be great if she could go in this direction.
After eating, several people walked in the yard together to digest food.
The surrounding servants have all been sent far away.
Pei Yi knew that this was probably an important matter to discuss.
She thought about it for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Did your Highness come to Wanshou County this time to take the opportunity to find out the reality of the Fifth Prince?"
