"disagree."

Pei Yue's answer was simple, clear and crisp.

He stood with his back straight in the hall. He did not pretend to be obedient like Li Zijun, but instead had a strong temperament. Facing Gao Qiu's question, he neither bowed in fear nor bowed in fear.

He acted like a junior, without even a word of honorific, just three simple words.

This seems a bit arrogant.

But for Pei Yue, this is an attitude that must be expressed.

Since he had already determined that his future career would mainly be in the military, it was impossible for him to win the favor of civil servants. Based on the opposition between civil and military officials in Daliang, if he knelt down and tried his best to please Gao Qiu today, the news would soon spread throughout Kyoto.

When he joins the army in the future, who will accept a weakling? His achievements in exterminating bandits may be framed as false.

As for offending the other party by doing so, don't forget that Pei Yue is only fourteen years old now, and will soon become the youngest viscount of Daliang. With Gu Liang's unscrupulous support, he is now even more valued by the emperor, and his future

It is already far greater than many people.

Today, Pei Yue is no longer the helpless concubine. He has to kneel in front of Pei Taijun and play the role of a good grandson in order to gain a chance of survival.

Gao Qiu also wanted to understand this. Although his face didn't look good, he didn't get angry. He just asked in a cold tone: "Why?"

Pei Yue's calm eyes glanced at Li Zijun, who felt nervous for no reason.

I just heard him say unhurriedly: "Li Zijun is the eldest grandson of Fengcheng Hou, and I am just a concubine. There is such a big difference, how could I have a conflict with him for no reason? In fact, it was in July this year

, Li Zijun led his people to provoke trouble in Luliu Village in the east of the city. After I sternly refuted it, he left in shame and took the initiative to compensate the banker for the loss of 5,000 taels of silver. Hundreds of people witnessed the incident at the time. If Mr. Gao wanted to

If you want witnesses, all you need is a warrant."

Li Zijun said angrily: "That's blackmail! I haven't sued you for extorting money, but you bite me back. It's totally unreasonable!"

Pei Yue smiled slightly and said sarcastically: "Master Gao is asking me now, do you know what etiquette is? Is this the kind of education people in the Fengcheng Marquis Mansion have?"

Li Zijun's face turned red and he pointed his halberd: "You fart! You -"

"shut up!"

Gao Qiu scolded lightly and looked at Li Zijun with disdain in his eyes. He was really a piece of mud that couldn't stand up to the wall. He had behaved like a human being before, but after being ridiculed by others, his true colors were revealed.

Looking at Pei Yue who looked indifferent, Gao Qiu couldn't help feeling a little emotional, so he slowed down and said, "Continue talking."

Pei Yue's voice was clear and gentle, and his words were clear and coherent: "Your Excellency, you should know that powerful children like Li Zijun are never willing to suffer losses. After hiding their faces and leaving at Green Willow Manor that day, they were naturally unhappy. How could they calm down so easily?

. He just said that his servant met me by chance in the capital and then made follow-up plans. This is really ridiculous. I left the house at the end of March and went to Green Willow Manor. I have only been to Kyoto twice in more than half a year.

There will be only one time after a month."

He turned around and looked at Li Zijun, his eyes as bright as lightning: "I came to Beijing early in the morning, and there were only a few people around me. I didn't make a big fanfare, nor did I have any conflicts with anyone to attract attention. How come your servant met me by such a coincidence?"

Li Zijun argued: "It's just a coincidence, what's so strange about it?"

Pei Yue suddenly raised his voice and said, "You'd better be more honest in front of Mr. Gao. Let me ask you again, is it really your servant who met me in Beijing?"

Li Zijun said without thinking: "Of course! It's just a coincidence!"

Pei Yue smiled softly and said to Gao Qiu: "Sir, he is lying, so his words before are not credible."

Li Zijun looked confused. The white-faced and beardless palace eunuch looked at Pei Yue with interest, and the military general sitting opposite him had a slightly unkind expression.

The prince, who had been watching quietly, frowned slightly. He suddenly felt that this young man was really hateful.

Because he doesn't like people making such gestures in front of him.

Gao Qiu vaguely felt that Pei Yue had inadvertently dug a hole for Li Zijun, but he couldn't think clearly in his haste, so he had to ask: "What do you mean by that?"

Pei Yue pointed at Li Zijun and said: "This man said that his servant recognized me at a glance in the capital. But what I don't understand is that I had been in Dingguo Mansion before March this year and had never seen him before.

Outsider. I have stayed in Green Willow Manor since March and have never interacted with the servants of Fengcheng Hou Mansion. I wonder who this servant Li Zijun mentioned is that he can recognize my identity at a glance?

"

He said somewhat innocently: "Sir, please take a look at my face. It is just ordinary, without any unforgettable features, and I have no reputation at all in Kyoto. If I were not in this lobby today,

Can you recognize me on the street without knowing me?"

Everyone was silent.

Li Zijun's face turned as red as a monkey's butt.

Gu Fan looked at the scene in front of him, and it seemed a little familiar, but at the same time it didn't surprise him, but he still couldn't help but want to laugh.

Then he laughed softly.

This laughter undoubtedly made Li Zijun want to find a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

The reason why Pei Yue wants to kill the word servant is because Li Zijun once brought a group of experts to Green Willow Manor to see him. Of course these people can recognize him, but where are the servants of Fengcheng Hou Mansion?

Such ability?

So one person dug a hole on the spot, and the other jumped in without hesitation. The cooperation was perfect and complemented each other.

Pei Yue continued: "Master Gao, Li Zijun has sent people to keep an eye on me for a long time, and even left an informant outside Luliu Village, so after I entered Beijing, his people could immediately discover me, and then the following things happened

.This person is full of lies, just to deceive you. How could he only send a few servants to ambush me when he has tried so hard to deal with me? To be honest, although I am still young, I practice martial arts diligently with my husband.

Dao, he is not a young boy who has no power to restrain a chicken. It can be seen that he has ulterior motives and a vicious temperament, and wants to kill me."

"You are talking nonsense! If I want to kill you, can you still stand here?"

Li Zijun retorted loudly.

Pei Yue looked at him disdainfully: "It's not that you don't want to, you just can't do it."

"You——" Li Zijun's eyes widened.

The lieutenant general sitting next to the prince suddenly coughed, suppressed Li Zijun's words, and then said to Gao Qiu in a nonchalant manner: "Master Gao, it is inevitable that there will be fights between nobles.

General Yi Mo seems to think that this matter is very simple, it is nothing more than a child's grudge. Instead of listening to such verbose nonsense here, it is better to punish Li Zijun to shut up for half a year and reflect on himself as a warning to others."

This person's words were full of simple and crude military style, and he did not care to ridicule Pei Yue to his face.

Pei Yue looked at the other party and asked lightly: "I wonder what the general is called?"

The general said coldly: "I am General Li Dun, an experienced officer of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion."

Pei Yue seemed puzzled and asked, "I wonder why the general is here?"

Li Dun said contemptuously: "It is the custom of the country that all matters of honor and honor are controlled by the Governor-General of the Fifth Army. Since you two are the sons of honor and honor, why do you think I am here?"

Pei Yue chuckled lightly, shook his head and said: "Li Qingcheng, if he is not in his position, he will not seek political advice. This matter is a criminal case and has nothing to do with you. You can just sit in and watch. You need to know that Mr. Gao is the official of this dynasty. How can it be?"

Does he need any advice from you to solve the case?"

"You are presumptuous!"

Li Dun was naturally very angry, but after Pei Yue said these words, he lowered his eyes and stopped looking at him.

There was no fear in his heart, because this was the Ministry of Punishment. Even if Gao Qiu wanted to understand the Holy Will, he would not allow an experienced officer to act like this in front of him. Otherwise, how would Gao Qiu be in charge of the Ministry of Punishment in the future?

Being an official also requires dignity.

As expected, Gao Qiu glanced at Pei Yue with a complicated expression, and then said to Li Dun: "General Li, please sit down for a moment."

After all, Li Dun dared not deny the respect of the Six Ministers, so he could only shut up angrily.
