Chapter 377: Injustice and Debt

Chapter 377 Injustice and Debt

"It's not completely impossible to investigate." Xiao Junji said something reassuring, "However, I haven't come up with any good solutions at the moment. Saburo, you can let people continue to watch those grain shops."

Pei Yi nodded, secretly thinking that this is the only way to go.

Xiao Junji kept rambling on and on, trying to stay in Pei Yi's bedroom without anyone noticing.

Seeing that this topic seemed to be over, he thought about changing another topic.

Xiao Junji was quick-witted, and quickly changed the topic calmly: "Sanlang, there is a sentence that I shouldn't ask, but I think that with the current relationship between the two of us, it is very necessary for me to ask you for a sentence." Yes."

Pei Yi would get sleepy at a certain time, and now she felt drowsy.

But the guests were still there, so she could only yawn and forcefully said, "Tell me and listen."

Seeing her troubled face, Xiao Junji couldn't help but secretly rejoice, thinking that if Saburo fell asleep while chatting, then he just quietly stayed in the room and slept on the same bed with Saburo.

However, if he wants to ask, it is bound to make Saburo sleepy.

Xiao Junji sighed silently, and asked: "Sanlang, does Pei Xiangguo have such a heart?"

When he said this, he pointed his finger upwards, which meant that Pei Xiangguo had the intention of aspiring to be the Supreme Being above.

Pei Yi was unexpected.

After she was silent for a moment, she shook her head with a smile and said: "My father doesn't have such thoughts. The Pei family is already an extremely powerful minister, and the titles that should be conferred have already been conferred to the top. If the Pei family wants to go further, they can only... "Proclaiming the emperor is the way to go.

Pei Yi didn't say the latter words, but Xiao Jun could understand it.

The road of rebellion and proclaiming the emperor is extremely risky. If you don't pay attention, the nine clans will be wiped out.

The Pei family is already powerful, there is no need to take such a big risk.

Only when the world is peaceful and the royal family of the Great Zhou is stable, can the Pei family, a great aristocrat under the banner of the Great Zhou, be safe and successful.

No one hopes for the peace of the Great Zhou more than Pei Xiangguo.

However, in this way...

"Pei Xiangguo is blocking the way of others." Xiao Junji pointedly said, "Pei Xiangguo is the **** of war in my Great Zhou Dynasty. With him, no one would dare to rebel." But if Pei Xiangguo is gone, those ambitious people It will become active.

Xiao Junji didn’t say the following words, but this is what it should be.

Pei Yi was trembling all over. She used to know that the Pei family was in a difficult situation from an emotional point of view. Now after hearing these words, she realized that the Pei family has reached such a dangerous situation.

"It's not pleasant to say, how many people are looking forward to Pei Xiangguo's return to the west." Xiao Junji said in a deep voice, "Pei Xiangguo has a high position and power, and he is walking on thin ice. It is difficult or easy to attack him. As long as you can If the monarch is suspicious of Pei Xiangguo, then Pei Xiangguo is not far from death."

Pei Yi turned pale in shock.

She suddenly remembered that the reason why Pei Shu died on the battlefield in the book was because of the suspicion of the tyrant Huo Yuan.

But what if Huo Yuan's deep suspicion comes from the deliberate instigation of people around him?

The King Huainan of the Xiao family in Jinzhou has the heart of disobedience, so he must regard her father as a thorn in his flesh. Could it be that he has already sent someone to secretly put eye drops on the emperor?

The last guess about the Xiao family in Jinzhou was revealed by Pei Yi.

"There must be." Xiao Junji said firmly, "Not only the Xiao family, but also the Yan family must have placed people."

Xiao Junji put on an extremely solemn expression, and said in a low voice: "The Yan family also has a heart of disobedience. Previously, my royal father wanted to marry the Yan family, and it was precisely because of the Yan family's power in the army. Yan The family also saw that the Xiao family was "like-minded", so they readily agreed to the marriage. But..."

Xiao Junji showed a narrow smile, and joked, "Who would have thought that you would mess up the final marriage. Miss Yan has spoken, and if it is not the Pei family who will not marry, no one will say anything." Use, she has made up her mind."

Pei Yi felt extremely embarrassed, and blushed slightly, retorted: "That's all Miss Yan's excuse for not wanting to get married. It doesn't mean that she really has a crush on me."

"Why is Saburo so self-deprecating." Xiao Junji jokingly said, "Do you know how good your market is?"

Pei Yi blushed, and said in embarrassment: "It's late at night, so let's talk tomorrow if you have anything to say."

This is an order to evict guests.

Xiao Junji quickly put away his playful smile, but no matter how much he begged for mercy and admitted his mistake, Pei Yi was unwilling to leave him in the room to chat any longer.

However, during the conversation, Pei Yi suddenly remembered something.

She asked confusedly: "My aunt said that Yan Luoyu is the direct daughter of General Yan Chongdao, but Yan Luoyu keeps claiming that the current patriarch of the Yan family is her father. General Yan has passed away for many years. The current Patriarch of the Yan Family will be General Yan himself."

Xiao Junji was stunned for a moment, then smiled and teased: "Your words almost confused me. That's right, Yan Luoyu is indeed the blood of General Yan Chongdao. However, after the death of General Yan Chongdao, Madam Yan Married to the younger brother of General Yan Chongdao—that is, Yan Chongwen, the current head of the Yan family. In this way, Yan Luoyu will naturally call the head of the Yan family "Father."

Pei Yi was dumbfounded.

After the elder brother died, the younger brother married his sister-in-law...

Although she feels that feelings should not value too much secular relationship, but judging from the ethics and morals from ancient times to the present, the public opinion will not support the younger brother marrying the sister-in-law, right? How many rumors will there be in this world...

Xiao Junji roughly guessed Pei Yi's current mood when he saw her expression.

He smiled and said: "When I first heard the news, I had exactly the same reaction as you. I also think that the Yan family's incident is too shocking."

"However, after my father explained it, I managed to figure it out."

"My father said that the Yan family was originally a barbarian. According to the custom of the barbarians, when the elder brother dies, the younger brother can inherit the elder brother's wife or even daughter."

Pei Yi was astonished.

She had only heard Huo Yuan say that the Huo family was of mixed Hu-Han blood a while ago, but she didn't expect that the Yan family was directly of Hu-Han blood.

But it's not unfounded if you think about it carefully—Yan Luoyu is born extremely beautiful, and those overly superior eyes and nose are indeed a bit exotic.

"Speaking of which, our Xiao family also has a bit of barbarian blood." Xiao Junji smiled lightly, "I heard from my father and king that my great-great-grandmother is a princess from a certain barbarian tribe. In this circle of nobles, it's really hard to find pure Han people." There are really not many families of blood."

Pei Yi remembered that Huo Yuan said earlier that their Pei family is pure Han.

But now it seems that this statement may not be reliable-maybe the Pei family ancestors have Hu people in a certain generation.

The clock ticking in the room moved silently.

Pei Yi glanced at it inadvertently, and realized that it was almost midnight.

She hurriedly said: "Ah Heng, it's getting late, you should go back to your room and rest."
