69. Remonstrance

In fact, Pei Niancheng was taken aback the moment Li Han flew out.It never occurred to him that Li Han would take his kick without using any internal force at all.

He looked at Li Han's eyes that were closed for a moment and his face that quickly turned white, both of which showed his pain, and he knew that he was definitely not a fake.

Pei Niancheng was at a loss for what to do when he saw Li Han's rare but irresistible fragile yet strong expression.He subconsciously took a step forward, just about to support him, but was caught by Pei Nianyu who broke into the door.

Pei Nianyu was afraid that the force would hurt him, so he gently put Li Han on the ground, but as soon as Li Han fell to the ground, he knelt down towards Pei Niancheng again.Pei Nianyu looked at Li Han on the ground with a look of hate iron for not becoming steel.

It wasn't until Pei Nianyu asked the question that Pei Niancheng realized it. When he looked up, it wasn't his brother who entered the door.

Behind his elder brother was Lou Yefeng, and behind him was Eunuch Wu Bingzhong who opened the door for him, looking at him with shame on his face, submissive.

Pei Niancheng glared at Eunuch Wu:

——Why did my brother come in?

Wu Bingzhong is also very wronged, this His Royal Highness King Yu, you have personally said that you can enter and exit any place in the palace at any time, and you didn't say that your brother is not allowed to enter.

Pei Niancheng suddenly thought that something was wrong, he knew his brother's nature, so whether he was admonishing the shadow guard or the minister, or when making some cruel decisions, he deliberately avoided Pei Nianyu.

Although Pei Nianyu seldom dictated his actions, in the previous years of Gongdou experience, every time they survived another level by stepping on someone's bones, Pei Nianyu would always be depressed for a while.

It was obviously him, Pei Niancheng, who killed the person, but he seemed to be responsible for it himself.Over time, Pei Niancheng was afraid that his brother would be sad, so he simply kept him from knowing when he was making enemies or courtiers.

So... Pei Niancheng looked at his brother's elegant face in front of him, so angry that he turned into a piece of ice, and felt timid in his heart.As if he had been caught doing something bad, the aura that had been simmering in his chest before was silently extinguished.

He glanced at Pei Nianyu's injured shoulder, and couldn't see anything under the clothes, so he changed the subject first and said:

"Brother, didn't you go back to your house? Why do you remember..."

Pei Nianyu waved his sleeves:

"Xiao Sheng, don't bother talking about him, you answer my question first, what were you doing just now?!"

Pei Niancheng's chest was suffocated.

Of course he knew that the way to extinguish his brother's anger was to honestly admit his mistakes, saying that he shouldn't have done this to Li Han, so that his brother would definitely not ask more questions.

But... If it's just him and Pei Nianyu, it's nothing for him to give in to his brother.But the problem is, Li Han is still here.He just taught Li Han a lesson, how could he slap himself in the face in front of him?

In front of Li Han, admit to your brother that you did something wrong?

His prestige of Pei Niancheng is gone!

So Pei Niancheng's expression darkened, and he pretended to say:

"Of course I'm teaching my subjects a lesson, didn't my brother see it too?"

Seeing Pei Niancheng's resolute attitude, but not afraid of him at all, Pei Nianyu snorted coldly:

"Teach the courtiers a lesson? Pei Niancheng, let me ask you, will you do the same to the ministers in the court?"

Pei Niancheng was suddenly called by his name directly by his brother, and he felt a little angry in his heart, and said directly:

"That's because the ministers in the court call me Your Majesty, while Li Han calls me Master! Brother, you should know the difference."

Pei Nianyu frowned:

"The difference? Could it be that the difference is because Li Han called you master, so you can insult him at will? Xiaosheng, Li Han is a human being, not your dog. If he really does something wrong, you always have clear rewards and punishments.", what should be punished is the punishment, so why insult him like this?"

"insult?"

Pei Niancheng suddenly sneered, then turned to the man kneeling beside him and asked:

"Li Han, do you think I insulted you?"

Li Han immediately shook his head and said respectfully:

"The master has never insulted his subordinates, and the subordinates deserve everything. As long as... as long as the master still trusts the subordinates, you can treat the subordinates whatever you want, the master."

Pei Nianyu: "..."

He had just prepared a long paragraph of words, but at this moment Li Han choked them all back.

He was just dumbfounded.Li Han knelt outside the hall for several hours, and then was scolded and kicked by Pei Niancheng, didn't he feel insulted at all?

"Li Han you..."

Pei Nianyu stood there "you" for a long time without saying anything, until his sleeve was pulled by the person next to him, he turned his head to look, but saw Lou Yefeng shook his head slightly:

"It really doesn't count. If the subordinate has made a mistake, the master will treat me like this, of course the subordinate will be happy."

"Ye Feng, you...you...why?"

Pei Nianyu was first distressed by his words, and then he was extremely puzzled——

After making a mistake, it's all right to accept the punishment honestly. All shadow guards will not disobey orders and not receive punishment.But... what the hell is sweetness?

Before Lou Yefeng could answer, Pei Niancheng explained to him directly:

"Because I kicked him after he made a mistake, it means that I will continue to use him. If those ministers made a mistake and touched my bottom line, they would have lost their heads by now! Brother, you said that my majesty andWhat's the difference in calling me master? That's the difference."

Pei Nianyu was silent for a moment, but did not have another attack. Instead, he looked at Pei Niancheng calmly, shook his head and said:

"You should be able to give more trust to the shadow guards, because they are protecting you with their lives, but this is not the reason why you can get angry at him wantonly. The so-called close ministers of the emperor are not for you to beat and scold at will.Yes, Xiao Sheng, you just think Li Han is easy to bully."

Pei Niancheng was a little annoyed:

"So my brother didn't take a good rest because of your injury, and ran here specially to teach my brother how to manage his subordinates?"

Pei Nianyu was taken aback for a moment.

Although they are close, they do not interfere with each other's subordinates. This has been a tacit understanding between the two brothers for many years.

Just like Lou Yefeng did such a rebellious thing before, Pei Niancheng would not try to persuade his brother, this person is so bold that he can't stay like this as a shadow guard.

Thinking of this, Pei Nianyu sighed:

"No, I'm not going to take care of it either. But Xiaosheng, just listen to me."

Pei Niancheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that his brother didn't persevere:

"Brother says it's okay."

"First, this matter is not Li Han's responsibility. It's all my own fault for my poor martial arts skills, otherwise, what happened today would never have happened."

However, before Pei Niancheng and Li Han said anything, Lou Yefeng's expression changed subtly in places that Pei Nianyu couldn't notice.

From Lou Yefeng's point of view, he felt that his own incompetence and Li Han's negligence were equally responsible for this.He didn't want to deny his part of the responsibility, but now he heard his master excuse Li Han, saying that he didn't blame Li Han at all, and he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

Pei Nianyu didn't see Lou Yefeng's slightly darkened face, but Pei Niancheng took a serious look.

However, Pei Niancheng's brain circuit is not on this string, and he couldn't realize what it meant for a moment. The thought only flashed in his mind, and he hurried back to his brother:

"How much dereliction of duty Li Han is, I have a certain idea in my mind, brother don't need to worry too much."

"Can……"

Pei Niancheng reached out and stopped Pei Nianyu's next words:

"Brother, I know what you mean. But have you ever thought that... the responsibility you think is all yours, here-this time, this place, only you think so."

Seeing that his brother couldn't understand his cryptic words, Pei Niancheng hinted again:

"I mean, how long have I been here, and how long have you been here, brother? Brother, don't bring your previous ideas here."

Pei Nianyu was startled for a moment, then sighed slightly.

He knew what his brother meant.

Pei Nianyu would feel that his injury was all done by himself, because he judged it with the concept before time travel.But here, in this era, there is nothing to say - the ones who are wrong will always be the people below, and those who are masters will never be wrong.

And Pei Niancheng's phrase "How long have I been here" is telling him that he fulfills such a rule of following the customs of the country, but it is just to better serve his subordinates.

Seeing that his younger brother was determined to deal with Li Han, Pei Nianyu knew that he couldn't change his mind.He looked at Pei Niancheng, hesitated to speak for a while, and finally heaved a long sigh, and asked:

"Then, according to the rules of your shadow guards, how much should he be punished for dereliction of duty this time?"

Pei Niancheng looked at Li Han.After all, it is impossible for him to memorize these rules and regulations.

Li Han lowered his head and replied steadily:

"Return to His Royal Highness King Yu, the crime of dereliction of duty shall be punished with a hundred whips, and after ten days of thinking."

Pei Nianyu intuitively felt that "thinking about it for ten days" would be more difficult than the previous one hundred whips, and he didn't know how to think about it.

In fact, his feeling was right, this so-called repentance was confinement in a small and completely dark cell.And in the process, there are many other instruments of torture in the cell, which also need to go through one by one.

Lou Yefeng at the side saw his master's unbearable expression towards Li Han's upcoming punishment, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable discomfort in his heart, which was much worse than the vague uneasiness just now.

Lou Yefeng felt a little restless, and subconsciously interrupted his master's thoughts:

"Master, generally speaking, crimes of dereliction of duty should be punished like this. Compared with the rules in King Yu Palace, they are not much different, and they are not too strict."

Pei Niancheng glanced at Lou Yefeng, as if he had figured out something.

Seeing that Lou Yefeng said so, Pei Nianyu had no choice but to prepare to leave.But before he left, he turned around and added:

"Xiao Sheng, Lin Han was injured, he was injured before the banquet... Ye Feng told me this."

"If you must be punished, let him recuperate first. Lin Han knelt by your side for a long time just after returning from a mission in other places. He is not young, how can he endure such torture?"

After finishing speaking, Pei Nianyu sighed lightly, and left Diligent Government Hall with Lou Yefeng.

It's just that the two of them just walked outside the hall, Lou Yefeng couldn't bear it anymore, and asked in a low voice:

"Master, why do you care so much about Li Han...?"

The author has something to say:

Pei Nianyu: Old Lin is so miserable, I feel sorry for you, brother, don't you feel sorry for him?

Lou Yefeng: Master QAQ took a look at me...
