Chapter 42 Chapter 1 Pei Mansion

What kind of place is Nanchang City?If only in terms of geography, it "brings the five lakes along the three rivers, controls the wild Jing and leads Ouyue", connecting Hunan and Hubei on the left, two rivers on the right, Fujian and Guangdong in the south pole, and Chaogang in the north.In today's political map of the world, it can be regarded as a very important town. Such an important town, of course, must send top-ranking personnel from the current dynasty to appease it. The capable member of the governor's side is surnamed Pei. The "Pei" who "a door full of bed wats, father and son three ministers".

Pei Du's Mansion can be said to be the most imposing, clean and graceful mansion in Nanchang. It occupies an area as long as a street.Peijia Street can be said to be a private street in the Pei Mansion, with yellow sand paving the ground and high whitewashed walls.The glazed tiles on the pepper wall cut off all the hustle and bustle outside, and the quietness and tranquility inside is indeed in line with the demeanor of a generation of Zanying family. The floor of the main hall of Pei's mansion is paved with green and solid floor tiles.The opening of the main hall is huge, as deep and wide as five rooms and nine pillars.The dust on the top of the pillar is also high from the ground, and the furnishings in the hall are even more generous and simple.The wide space stretched out by the red sandalwood pillars will make people who walk into the main hall unintentionally feel a little timid when they speak.

At this time, there was a black-clothed figure in the main hall who jumped slightly.That leap spanned a huge distance of three feet.I saw that the posture of the man in black after jumping was also very different from that of ordinary martial arts masters. His arms were stretched out, and a pair of wide sleeves were stretched straight by his arms. Shrunk, buckled into arrow sleeves, tightly wrapped around the man's thick wrist. His posture is so majestic and vigorous, but his stature is extremely short - just over five feet, men of average height may be half a head taller than him.As a result, his figure appeared a little horizontal, and at first glance, he felt rough.

But his arms are long, and when he opened them, they contrasted with his short body, and his wings were spread wide.It is said that the length of a person's arms outstretched should be similar to his height, but the length of that person's arms outstretched is clearly nearly a foot and a half longer than his height.And the softness and thickness of the sleeves couldn't hide the strength between his arms and the humerus at the bottom of the sleeves.The most prominent impression he gives people at first glance is his arms, which are thick and strong, and seem to be arms that can be scratched and broken.

At this time, the vacant sleeves did not show frivolity and weakness, but agitation and fierceness. I saw him jump three feet, and when he landed, a pair of black-soled quick boots touched the green brick floor a little bit, and with a kick on his short legs, he jumped up again-"Swallows copy water three times", this is very common in the first place. In his hands, Jianghu's lifting and longitudinal technique is performed, but there is a kind of momentum of vigorous and straightening, leaping and soaring. With only two lifts, he jumped onto the green brick corridor outside the main hall of Pei Mansion.Then the figure suddenly stretched out, and after two ups and downs, a goshawk-like figure landed directly on the screen wall not far from the main hall.

I saw him only paused on the screen wall for a while, adjusting his breath slightly, but his arms were not closed, they were still open, and he stabbed back. The figure in black was seen from a distance, reflecting the blue night, It's really like a shrewd, alert and sophisticated eagle. Someone in the hall has already shouted: "Okay!" The word "good" has not yet landed on the ground, I saw that the figure flew up from the screen wall out of thin air.With this leap, he rushed towards the hall again! There were two people sitting in the lobby at this time. Although the lights in the hall were bright, it gave people a sense of darkness because of the large space.I saw the person sitting on the right seat with a fixed expression.He was born in a wealthy family, with a comfortable and soft body, and his sitting posture unconsciously gave people a sense of comfort, even though the chair he sat on was so hard and upright.

——Although this kind of chair gives people a sense of majesty at first sight, the people who want to sit on it must not be very comfortable, right? But he has been sitting in this chair for many years.From a very young age, he had probably foreseen that his life was almost doomed to be spent sitting on such a chair. "Those who work with their minds make people better, and those who work with their hands make people better." This is the most court motto he heard from Yan Qin when he was a child.But at that time, he didn't know what kind of trouble the "worker" wanted to work on.

Sitting with his left hand is an old man.The man had a slight beard under his chin, almost pure white, he looked over sixty years old, but his waist was straighter than the person sitting on the main seat.He was responsible for the applause just now.He is none other than Hu Yuzhi, the former Guozijian sacrificial wine who has retired from benevolence. Hu Yuzhi's ancestors borrowed Nanchang, and in this city, it is enough to be called the hope of one side.He expressed the word Jijiu, and in Nanchang City, there is probably no one else who can let him sit by the side, only Pei Ju. The person sitting on the main seat is Pei Ju.

In the dim yellow main hall, Pei Ju's face was half bright and dark, and even Hu Yuzhi, who was sitting beside him, couldn't guess what was in his heart. Hu Yuzhi has been watching Pei Ju silently from the corner of his eyes. He is thinking, this prince who sits and caresses all over the place, this powerful man who makes the governors of the world and the big men in the court can't help but look at him, he What are you thinking right now? ——The political situation in Jiangxi is clean and the market is stable, but this person who makes the outside world look up to him, this person who has been the governor of Jiangxi for seven years... Would he think so?Especially at this day, when Chen Qubing suddenly captured Hua Rong in Jiujiang once he showed his power, and regardless of the Yingtan Hua family's taboo, he was directly released to Nanchang Governor's Yamen.

——The violent wind started at the end of Pingping. In the eyes of outsiders, it was just a small incident of rape and murder, and the turmoil it caused was probably far more than that. In just over ten days, Hua Rong's case must be settled in the Yamen of the Chasi.Hu Yuzhi participated in the secrets of the Jiangxi Governor's Mansion, knowing that everyone in Jiangxi was watching Pei Ju.And Pei Ju has been able to keep "Dongmi" out of the gate of Jiangxi, because this is actually a dispute among the people, and he has never given "Dongmi" any opportunity to take advantage of.Hu Yuzhi knew that the reason why the power of Dongmi was able to flourish today was that the reason for their success was actually the fact that even though the court was full of gold and purple, it was already established by how many dignitaries there were. How many grudges.The resentment was dark and deep, and it weighed heavily on the ground. It was this kind of resentment that was able to prop up Dongmi's momentum and fly in one direction, flapping its wings all over the sky, and their voices could be heard everywhere.But do those dignitaries know that they are playing with fire?Common people should not be bullied, ordinary people should not be humiliated, and sustainable development is the real sustainable exploitation.Even if Hu Yuzhi was also a dignitary from a gentry family, sometimes he even felt that the outbreak of the power of "Dongmi" was not a bad thing because of the behavior of his peers, it was just like him. A punishment that the rich and powerful who came from a prominent family desperately needed to suffer.

But Yingtan Huafa and Yiyang Cangyan, how could these two families be offended?How can you offend! ——Wan Checheng has been spying on Jiangxi for many years.If there is a crime, he will definitely be left with an opportunity. Hu Yuzhi thought of the informant he had just received this morning, and another word came to his mind: Qingliushe. When he received the tip, he said he knew about Pei Ju, and he saw Pei Ju looking up to the northwest—Chen Qubing, that is, Chen Qubing, who was his acquaintance with the general manager, and it was he who had a severe fever at this moment. He has an evil fire.Hua Rong is insignificant by himself, but he caught it at the right time. He should have known that Chen Qubing was relegated to Jiangxi. At this time, when Xiao Yuzheng suddenly let go and no one in the court could compete with the "Dongmi" forces, he suddenly released this evil fire. What is he for? ——Is it because the mainstay of the "Qingliu Society" has fallen, that he will act at the right time, build a bridge and stir the fire, and lead all the evil fire to himself? In the current dynasty, no one dared to confront the enemy head-on with Du Buchan and Wan Checheng, so he wanted to force himself out? Pei Ju's psychology suddenly gave birth to a trace of contempt, contempt for Qingliu Society, and contempt for the people of the world: he, Xiao Yuzheng, founded "Qingliu No. 1 Society" by himself. for a while.Does his brother-in-law know that after his death, Qingliu Society issued the No. 1 hunting order to kill his wife? During Pei Ju's meditation, he couldn't help looking at Chang'an: Lingmei, how is Lingmei doing now? He wasn't very concerned about it either.In fact, in his heart, this is how the world is, and so is competition—you have the desire to clear the world, and you must have the awareness to accept that the world will punish you. But sister Ling, she was implicated. Suddenly there was a voice of maniacal laughter in his heart: and he worked hard to maintain the legal relics that he wanted to protect, together with the dudes, didn't he always wish to use the power of the world to serve himself alone?They may even feel that they are in the way all the time, and they wish to get rid of it quickly.On this point, what is the difference between myself and Xiao Yuzheng's embarrassing situation? That's how life is—looking down from a high place, because you are also at a high place, you often feel that there will be a trembling danger.All the strictness and orderliness, the harmony of the government and the harmony of the people, and the tranquility of all industries are just a short-lived illusion when the contradictions of various forces can still be reconciled... Pei Ju's eyes are dark. After the house.But now, the illusion has been broken. The pot of gruel that he has worked so hard to blend for so many years finally bursts out at this moment when the monarch and his subjects offend, the five flavors are jealous, the fire is fierce, and the cauldron is destroyed. Not for anything else, but for the power of Dongmi, which has infiltrated Jiangxi. The black-clothed figure's pounce was clearly no longer as light as it was when he jumped out just now, but with all his strength. I saw that his leap was five zhang, and he had already rushed to the front of the hall with only two pounces.When he arrived at the front of the hall, he jumped up again after a little bit of stone steps.There is a plaque in front of the hall, and the name of the plaque is "Mirror as clear as water".The man paused under the plaque in front of the hall, stretched out his hand, and pulled out a knife from behind the plaque in the hall—a knife that was only two feet long and nearly a foot and a half wide! Hu Yuzhi in the hall couldn't help but change his face. Seeing Cang Hua jumping out suddenly, he thought it was still the same as usual, but when Pei Ju was busy with official duties and bored, Xiaoxiao showed off his skills and took a little rest with Pei Ju.But he never expected that he would draw a knife behind the plaque!No one would have thought that there would be a knife hidden behind the large plaque in the main hall of Pei Mansion!And the blade is so strangely wide, it is clearly the well-known "Wide and Heavy Sword": ——The "broad and sinking knife" known as "a hundred battles in the yellow sand, wild geese falling in the sky, a blow of the knife, and a wide range of fish sinking in the water"! Moreover, holding this heavy saber is Cang Hua—the commander of the guards in Pei Du's mansion, the Chief Guardian, Cang Hua! ——Among the two surnames of Yingtan Huafa and Yiyang Cangyan, although there are many masters, there are only two of them who can use their first names to include their surnames. "Cang Hua is the graceful one who bows to Hua, and Cang Hua is the one who is fierce and fierce." After the man in black drew his knife, he stretched out his body, opened his arms, and glided down like a goshawk from a high height, and rushed towards the main seat in the hall.Hu Yuzhi, who was sitting by the side, couldn't sit still any longer, and yelled: "Cang Hua, what do you want to do!" He patted the armrest of the chair, and he stood up.That Cang Hua came very fiercely, and in the blink of an eye, he had already rushed to the desk in front of the hall.His blow was so fast that even Hu Yuzhi, whose old eyes suddenly brightened like a fox, was caught off guard. He couldn't care about anything at this time, and he had no intention of showing leisure and looking calm.As soon as he inhaled, he saw a light blue aura rising from his nearly blue-white face in just one breath.He spit out and drank, his five fingers were like hooks, and with one claw he grabbed the Canghua. Cang Hua remained silent, counterattacked with his left leg, and stomped towards Hu Yuzhi's chest with one foot. Hu Yuzhi let out a low voice, but his heart was shocked. Why did this kid use a life-threatening move—to fight Pei Ju's life with his own life?What death order did the Yingtan Hua family give him? The saber in Cang Hua's hand was not slack at all, and it was clear that Pei Ju was going to be under the same knife even after being injured! He only had the strength to pounce forward until the desk was exhausted, and his body fell down uncontrollably, but at this moment, he stretched out his left hand suddenly, and pressed his palm on the big red sandalwood desk, supporting it with only one palm. After getting the red sandalwood case, he hung his body in the air, and swung the knife with his right hand to cut. The knife came out like the wind, and in an instant it went straight to Pei Ju's throat, less than an inch away. Hu Yuzhi suddenly shouted: "Stop!" As expected, the knife stopped in response, and Cang Hua stopped - because Hu Yuzhi's right hand had already clasped the vital organs of Cang Hua's waist.Hu Yuzhi's always steadfast face could not help but a thin layer of cold sweat: Although he had grasped the heart and soul of this kid Cang Hua, but with Cang Hua's ability, he could eliminate him in the "Huafa family, Cangyan servant" Other than the old lady of the Hua family and Cang Jiuye, he is not sure that he can destroy this kid before he swings his knife and strikes him. And Pei Ju—he couldn't die.In this world, there are some people who absolutely cannot die, and their death will inevitably lead to an upheaval.Such as Xiao Yuzheng, such as Pei Ju. The scene seemed to freeze for a moment, even if there was the sound of a hair brushing, it might be clearly audible.That Cang Hua supported the table with one arm, and stretched forward with one arm, lying flat on the desk that seemed to freeze at the same time, as if it had been frozen for thousands of years, the knife in his right hand was less than an inch in front of Pei Ju's throat. ——If he exerted all his strength, Pei Ju's blood would certainly splatter, and he, I'm afraid, would also burst into pieces immediately. Cang Hua's eyes stared straight at Pei Ju's, he didn't look at Hu Yuzhi, he looked at Pei Ju, only Pei Ju. Hu Yuzhi's stature is extremely high, Cang Hua doesn't need to look at him, he just needs to glance at his shadow reflected on the desk from the corner of his eyes to know whether he is about to make a move.When he looked at Pei Ju, his eyes were dark on his broad and rough face. He has been serving Pei Ju for seven years, almost since Pei Ju arrived in Jiangxi. This is also a great gift from Yingtan Hua family to Pei Ju.When the Pei Ju government was in power, many powerful forces were offended, and they wanted to give him the same self-defense weapon.This sharp weapon is Cang Hua. But after seven years, he still didn't see Pei Ju clearly. I remember at that time, when the old lady of the Hua family asked Pei Ju to personally pick someone from among their second-generation disciples, no one thought that he would pick Cang Hua. Cang Hua has been short in stature since he was a child, and has been ridiculed for a long time, and his heart is full of injustice.To this day, he still remembers that Pei Ju was a guest at the Huafu villa that day, and he was not originally a candidate. ——A very long row, nearly a dozen young players from the Hua and Cang families stood in the lobby, waiting for Pei Ju to choose.Pei Ju bowed his hands to thank Mrs. Hua, but Cang Hua was not in the team.He was sweeping the ground under a big white flower tree in the courtyard.He didn't know what kind of tree it was, he was in a bad mood, he hated those flowers as big as white bowls, hated all the big and expansive things that reminded him of his own body. But Pei Ju——he never expected that Pei Ju would be chosen that day! For almost all those complacent people who are a few feet taller than him, he can only look down.But only Pei Ju, only Pei Ju made him look up for the first time in his life, except for Cang Jiuye, the only one that made him feel small. Pei Ju held down the broom in his hand that day and asked, "Will you be my guard commander?" Afterwards, Cang Hua wanted to ask Pei Ju the reason for choosing him countless times, but he never asked.There are some things that you don't need to ask, you just need to do it, and do it to be worthy of Pei Ju's acquaintance. ——Cang Hua's hand firmly held his "broad and heavy sword", as if Hu Yuzhi's hand full of "confucianism" was not held between his own liver and spleen.His eyes were still fixed on Pei Ju. The expression on Pei Ju's face was so quiet that he didn't even move a single eyebrow.His complexion was yellow, not as yellow as his expression.He suddenly reached out his hand, picked up the cup of Pu'er tea that he often drank after meals to digest food on the desk, took a sip, and then calmly said to Cang Hua, "What do you want to tell me?" Cang Hua's face suddenly showed a sense of knowing. At this moment, the sharp blade of his neck was no longer cold, but——a kind of firm and persistent warm breath. All the coldness seemed to be forced into his voice, and he said coldly: "Pounce from the screen wall in front of the main hall. If someone wants to assassinate Pei Dudu, according to my calculations, a real master will only need three breaths. Three breaths." Breathe without delay, the killer arrives immediately! Hu Jijiu is exactly as I expected, he is a generation of masters who have practiced "Confucianism" to hide his secrets. But even if he is guarding him, if there is If the master dares to attack, and he will not hesitate to die, I am afraid that even though Hu Jijiu is by his side, Mr. Pei will not escape the disaster." "The guards of Pei's residence are very closely guarded. I have been thinking about them in the past three years. But although the guards are all handsome, after all, there is still a gap between the outstanding experts. It is fine if they attack normally, but if there are really peerless experts in front of them. Come……" "...The blow of the powder wall in front of the main hall is a big loophole in our Pei residence's defense." "I just want to remind Mr. Pei not to take it lightly. Although our guards are all good, but, according to my informant, this time the 'Qingliu Society' really invited a master. Just don't talk about them,'Dong Mi 'It's also a tiger's eye. As long as someone who comes here distracts the attention of the guards, as long as he climbs on this screen wall, the next blow will be a big surprise that will make Mr. Pei feel unsafe." Pei Ju listened quietly, then nodded: "But you are still by my side." ——Even with you by my side, I can be sure that I will be safe. The expression on Cang Hua's face darkened slightly. Pei Ju felt it immediately, he looked at Cang Hua's face, and there was a sense of understanding in his eyes. "But your Cang Jiuye is already calling you back?" Cang Hua's face suddenly showed worry and indignation.He lowered his head dejectedly. He admired Pei Dudu, although he never knew him well.But no matter where Pei Ju's pampered body sits, he will have a feeling, and there are only four words for that feeling: as firm as a rock. Cang Hua didn't understand Pei Ju—after trying to understand this great power of the dynasty failed, he had long since stopped trying to understand him.But he can see the power that the ruling party has made for the stability of one side.There is only one thing he wants to tell Pei Ju, and this thing is told not by words but by actions: Canghua admires him, and is willing to pour out his blood for him with his life. But, that's right, at the moment when Pei Ju was in chaos and his life was on the line, Master Cang Jiu suddenly called him back! The scholar died for his confidant. On that day, among the two surnames Hua and Cang, Pei Ju chose only himself, who was only five feet tall.From this incident, it has become a friend!However, in the chess game between Hua Cang's surname and Pei Ju, he has no right to have any personal emotions at all, he can only become a silent pawn.He was born as a member of the Cang family and died as a ghost of the Cang family. He was powerless to resist Cang Jiuye's decision.This was the first look that the Hua and Cang surnames gave Pei Ju. Before this, they had launched a small killing game against Chen Qubing. There is only one intention: you, do you want to let Hua Rong go? Cang Hua's hand holding the knife suddenly strengthened, just outside the mansion, just outside the walls of this seemingly peaceful Pei mansion, he didn't know how many enemies who had been hiding in Pei Du's mansion had recently arrived.As for the two people invited by Qingliushe this time, even if he, Canghua, is here to protect him and do his best, he may not be able to guarantee that they can block the joint blow of the two masters of the world. What's more... ——This time the knife was sent out, it was his leaving a message, he was worried—he was really worried about this rare official who was doing his best and not serving his own selfish desires in power, and he was worried that he would just do it He was abandoned alone in the undercurrent of this turbulent and chaotic world. Pei Ju adjusted his breathing slightly, closed his eyes, and drooped his eyelids, covering all the expressions in his eyes that might be noticed by outsiders.Just listen to him quietly said: "Okay, you go. To live in the world, the family rules and the family are tired, and all kinds of things are in the body, how can you do what you want? I don't blame you, and I won't stop you." He suddenly picked up the big teacup in front of him, which was carved out of twigs of boxwood, took a long sip, and handed it to Cang Hua's lips. Cang Hua took a look at him, raised his head, closed the case with one hand, did not let go of the knife, just took a big sip from his hand - he knew that it was Du Ye Pei who was sending him off. After drinking this light Pu'er tea, two veins of dead springs seemed to come alive in Cang Hua's eyes - he must not stay any longer!If he stayed any longer, the weak moisture in his eyes would be beyond his control. A good man, when you come, you should dance, and when you go, you should be decisive.He suddenly slapped the table with his right hand, and he slapped the "Kuo Shen Dao" on the table. He closed his eyes and looked up, raised his head and took a long breath. After taking a long breath, he said in a loud voice: "Master Pei, I will leave this knife for you to protect yourself. If there are criminals coming one day, tell him to admit it." Clear my Cang Hua's 'Kuo Chen Knife' and then kill. Otherwise, hey, when you were born, you were restricted by family rules, and you and I were only guests and hosts, and I can't advance or retreat. But if you don't happen, the hanger will take revenge , Dedicated to one sword is my personal friendship with Canghua. Even the ancestors of the Hua family and Cang Jiuye can no longer control my Canghua's 'broad and heavy' blow!" Without saying a word, he stretched out his left hand, and the person flew up.I saw the candle flame shrank behind the case, and in the dim light and shadow, Cang Hua's short figure had fled to the outside of the hall. Pei Ju could still hear him say: "Qingliu Society not only dispatched the best players in the society this time, but it is also said that they have invited two masters. 'Star Splitting Wing Zhen', 'Earth Connecting Heng Lu', hehe, what are they?" What do you call the characters in "Zhong Ling Fu", Zhou Yizhen and Mu Henglu!" Having said that, his figure has escaped from the screen wall in front of the hall. He suddenly looked up to the sky and screamed, this whistle was clearly intended to be heard by the opponents who were waiting in the dark, but the whistle from his short body was like a tiger roaring and a dragon chant:
