Chapter 77
77. The rivers and lakes have been deeply favored in the past
Pei Nianyu didn't know where the palace was at all, and the medicinal food he tried so hard to send to the two of them was not eaten.For some reason, Li Han felt that he was not qualified to use it, so he kept all the recipes.
And Pei Niancheng is naturally... Well, although he is very angry, after all, he really doesn't like to eat black sesame, but he will not throw away his brother's heart or anything.
Like Li Han, Pei Niansheng also carefully put away the medicinal recipes, and he was the only one who was silently wronged in his heart.And Pei Niancheng's mood turned sharply down because of the black sesame, which naturally involved a large number of people——
As the end of the new year approached, those bureaucrat moths who had registered here at Pei Niancheng were also cleaned up one by one by His Majesty Mingjun who had no affection, and they were packed and thrown into the cell of Dali Temple for the New Year.
………………
Here in the palace, Pei Nianyu sent his family Ye Feng back to practice kung fu, and then started to deal with some daily chores in the mansion.
In normal times, apart from the daily contact with some households with good relations, those princes and ministers naturally dare not bother him.
As for the recent trifles... Naturally, after Pei Nianyu was injured at the banquet, those people who would not dare to come on weekdays, now took the opportunity to give gifts to show their hospitality.
Most of them naturally didn't have Pei Nianyu's turn to come forward, and the senior management in the own mansion handled it according to the old rules.Only a very small number of identities need him to reply personally, and personally order a few appropriate return gifts for the following to do.
Therefore, these so-called trifles were dealt with in only an hour or so.When Pei Nianyu was free, he suddenly thought of someone who should be dealt with.
He waved his hand and called He Qi out of the darkness, and said with a smile:
"Old He, go and get Lian Xiao over for me."
He Qi slightly raised his eyes to look at Pei Nianyu, his eyes seemed a little surprised:
"The master finally remembered this guy? I thought the master was not going to pursue it."
He was guarding nearby just now, so he heard the conversation between the master and Lou Yefeng clearly.Then he understood that he had received Lou Yefeng's slap for no reason, but it was because of Lian Xiao's deliberate denunciation.
Pei Nianyu didn't intend to let the old building know that he stayed up all night to make medicinal food for the old building, but Lian Xiao was obedient, and found another way to report the secret, deliberately letting Lou Yefeng figure it out.
This matter, if you say it's serious, it's serious, if you say it's not serious, it's just that.Seriously, it was because he didn't obey the master's order, or did it on purpose, which was extremely bad in nature.
It's not serious because... this really can only be regarded as a fart.
However, who is He Qi? He was originally the deputy commander in charge of the criminal law, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is harsh.This Lian Xiao relied on being an official again, and repeatedly caused him to be blinded by his master and the old building's Qingqing...
This time, old and new grudges are counted together.
Although He Qi is no longer the deputy commander in charge of the criminal law, Lian Xiao is still a deputy commander. The disciples at the punishment hall dare not deal with him directly, so they will fall into He Qi's hands and be picked up by him himself.
Here, He Qi sent someone to pass on Lian Xiao, and Pei Nianyu was quite speechless when he saw the look in his eyes:
"I said, Old He, why do you start to shine when you see someone who can be punished?"
He Qi sighed:
"It's almost Chinese New Year. It's not easy to catch someone who made a mistake in the mansion."
After a while, Lian Xiao entered the door sleepily.
He didn't sleep all night to show the master the medicinal food pot, and he just lay down for a while when he was called again.
When Lian Xiao was young, he was also a big boss in the Jianghu. With his experience, how could he not know what his master told him to do.Therefore, he didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately put on his clothes and got up...but he was a little sleepy.
As soon as he entered, He Qi said in a cold voice before he was greeted:
"Not kneeling yet!"
Lian Xiao: "..."
While kneeling obediently in front of Pei Nianyu, he raised his eyes and glanced at He Qi, thinking, as if I don't need to kneel to greet my master...
You already had to kneel, but you said something in advance, Old He, you just have to ask me for a favor, right?
Pei Nianyu was also really speechless for a moment, and then took advantage of the moment when he lowered his head, adjusted his expression, and put on the airs of a prince and master.In short, a noble, glamorous, unattainable, gentle but distant attitude.
Lian Xiao, not only He Qi wants to clean up, but he also wants to clean up!
Pei Nianyu was going to deal with the emotional issues in the old building bit by bit.But if Lian Xiao always uses such an assist method, Lao Lou has a thin skin and can't stand it!
Therefore, if he made trouble on his side, Pei Nianyu would not care, but if Lian Xiao went to disturb the old building, he would have to deal with it.
Lian Xiao knelt on the ground for a long time, seeing that the master still didn't let him get up, he couldn't help but smiled wryly in his heart.
He was joking at this moment... It seems that he really pissed off the master.
Forget it, I'm afraid a fine today will be unavoidable.
Thinking of this, Lian Xiao straightened his knees again.Pei Nianyu finally spoke mercifully:
"Lian Xiao, do you know your mistake?"
"Yes, the subordinate knows his mistake, please punish the master."
Pei Nianyu squinted at him: "Tell me what's wrong with you."
Lian Xiao respectfully admitted his mistake: "Subordinates shouldn't intentionally disobey the master's order..."
Pei Nianyu interrupted him with a cold snort very unhappily:
"Deliberately disobeying...then what is your intention?"
Lian Xiao was at a loss for words immediately, he couldn't say it because he really couldn't stand the master's cautious use of affection for Lou Yefeng?
You have to save some face for the master...
So he had no choice but to say:
"It's the subordinates who rely on the kindness of the master, so they willful and reckless..."
Pei Nianyu was about to laugh angrily. Your words are relying on the kindness of the master... Is this a slap in the face, or is it a slap in the face?
Lian Xiao also knew that he had said the wrong thing as soon as he said it. He wanted to make another excuse, but he didn't expect that it was wrong anyway.
In the middle of his speech, before he could stop, Pei Nianyu slammed the table:
"Do you, Lian Xiao, still think of me as the master?"
When he said this, he really intended to intimidate him, so he used 80% of his internal energy.However, Pei Nianyu's 80% internal strength is the original Lou Yefeng's internal strength, which is already higher than Lian Xiao's internal strength, Lian Xiao's heart was shocked immediately when he said a word.
Knowing that his master had never said anything to him in such a harsh tone before, he couldn't help but look up in panic—he was really a little scared.
After all, he is a shadow guard who has become a monk halfway. Although he has the trust of his master, the master has always tolerated his somewhat undisciplined quack habits.
But after all, he is not a pure confidant like Lou Yefeng or He Qi, if he really annoys his master and loses his trust, it will really be worth the loss for him.
Lian Xiao met the slightly angry eyes of his master, his heart was shocked again, and then he crouched down:
"Master, this subordinate...don't dare. A subordinate who disrespects the master deserves death."
Pei Nianyu was also taken aback for a moment.
When he used his internal strength, he just wanted to scare Lian Xiao, so as to save him from becoming more and more daring in the future, but he seemed to be overly scared.
But soon he realized that he was the master after all, even Lou Yefeng didn't dare to test his sincerity in a fit of anger, let alone Lian Xiao.
So Pei Nianyu paused, and asked He Qi next to him:
"How should Lian Xiao be punished for what he did wrong this time?"
Seeing that the master had no intention of covering up, He Qi felt relieved all of a sudden, and said solemnly with a straight face:
"If you disobey the master's order, if you have the heart of treason, you should be executed by Ling Chi. If you don't have the heart of treason, you can use one hundred and fifty rods, and the shadow guard will record one felony in his personal history. The deputy commander of the company is sincerely repentant, so he only takes the latterHowever, Lian Xiao, as the deputy commander, commits a crime knowingly, and the impact is bad, and the punishment should be doubled."
Pei Nianyu: "..."
In fact, after he finished that sentence, his anger disappeared, thinking that he would not need to be punished later.After all, it would be really funny if Lian Xiao was going to get angry over something so big.
And it would be too severe to punish him according to what He Qi said.
"Oh………………"
After the two of them heard only a long "oh" from the master, they didn't have anything to say.
The two waited for a while, but the master still didn't say anything.
Lian Xiao: "..."
He Qi: "..."
There was an awkward silence in the air.
And Pei Nianyu desperately winked at He Qi——
Hurry up and pass me a step down, and I'll beg for Lian Xiao's favor or something, so I can go along with the flow.
Learning to give the master a proper step according to the master's will at the right time is one of the simplest compulsory courses in the relationship between monarch and minister.
However, He Qi received the master's signal, pretended not to see it, and turned his head away——
If you don't give it, you won't give it.
Pei Nianyu said "Damn" in his heart, what kind of plastic monarchy is this!
Lian Xiao, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't dare to look up, so naturally he didn't see the small movements of the master and He Qi.However, he was good at human heart after all, seeing that his master hadn't spoken for a long time, he knew what was going on, and couldn't help but heaved a long sigh in his heart.
The master must have softened his heart again...
Lian Xiao closed his eyes, and said in his heart that he is indeed the master that Lian Xiao fancy, and that I have given up my carefree life in the world to serve my master.
So he bowed to Pei Nianyu again, and said:
"Yes, the subordinate is punished."
He Qi quickly responded at a very appropriate time:
"Well. You just know it yourself."
Then he left directly with Lian Xiao.
Pei Nianyu: "...WTF, I haven't finished yet..."
…………
However, the shadow guard's sentence was not executed immediately.Lian Xiao thought that he was going to suffer a lot, so after arranging the follow-up work, he went to find He Qi.
He still looks calm and breezy, with a lazy smile on the corner of his mouth:
"What about the form, I'll sign it."
The so-called list is an execution order, and the sentence will be executed after being signed and acknowledged by the prisoner himself.Then the list is filed, and some serious mistakes will be placed in the personal history of the shadow guard, becoming an unattractive stroke.
He Qi didn't give it to him immediately, but asked first:
"Lian Xiao, Lian Xiao... What do you mean by meddling in the relationship between the master and the old building? We are subordinates, so there is no need to meddle in other people's business..."
Lian Xiao chuckled lightly:
"I'm just trying to find a way to let the old building out quickly. He has liked the master for so long, but he dare not say anything. How could he know that the master has been waiting for him to say it."
Unexpectedly, He Qi was silent for a while, and finally asked:
"Old building... he likes the master? I thought he just... I thought it was just the master who liked the old building."
Lian Xiao was convinced by He Qi's thick lines: "Otherwise?"
"Isn't it always the owner who teases the old building? The old building didn't..."
Lian Xiao couldn't hold it back, and flipped a Byakugan to their leader:
"You...forget it. When the old building lost his martial arts that time, I saw some clues. And the discerning people in this house can see that the old building likes the master, but you didn't see it, I think Commander He Da is probably blind."
He Qi: "..."
After being teased, He Qi sighed again:
"Old building...he shouldn't be doing this. Those of us who are subordinates can only be favored by the master. How can anyone really fall in love with the master? Isn't it disrespectful..."
"... Commander He, shut up quickly. Don't let the old building say this, and don't let the master hear it. The master is dying of anxiety, and you are still doing a waste of help."
He Qi slapped the table:
"And you! Lian Xiao! You are not very responsible! No matter how old building he likes the master, it is not something you can interfere with. You are indeed too presumptuous."
Lian Xiao said "Hey" and didn't care at all:
"Back then, my master and I were just acquaintances. I was just from the rivers and lakes, and I didn't dare to climb up to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince. Later, I encountered difficulties. In order to help me, the master sheltered me in the palace. Naturally, I have to think about it."Do something for the master to repay the kindness."
"Master's top priority right now is the old building. How can a subordinate not share the master's worries and problems?"
"Then you can't..."
"I'm just like this. I can't change my habits. If you have the ability, beat me up."
He Qi sneered and made a list:
"I really wanted to beat you up, but it's a pity... let's sign it!"
Lian Xiao took the order while smiling, and then the smile froze on his face.
After all, it was a punishment for the deputy commander, so the execution order would naturally have to be reviewed by the master before it could be approved.Naturally, Pei Nianyu took the opportunity to change the previous punishment.
It was clearly written by the owner:
"In view of the fact that Lian's deputy commander is really poor in martial arts, I hereby punish Lian Xiao, the deputy commander of King Yu Palace's shadow guards, to learn martial arts from Lou Yefeng, the deacon of King Yu Palace's shadow guards, and work hard on internal skills."
"Until Deputy Commander Lian Xiao's internal strength has increased by 10%, you are not allowed to eat any food cooked by people in the palace, including the big kitchen, small kitchen, Yun Shao and others."
"One month later, His Royal Highness King Yu will personally inspect the effect of the practice, and order He Qi to execute it immediately."
He Qi looked at him with great pity:
"Master loves you dearly, and won't let you suffer from flesh and blood, so hurry up and thank you."
Lian Xiao collapsed on the spot:
"I don't know how to cook...Old He, let's discuss it. In exchange, let me take the one hundred and fifty lashes? No, three hundred, three hundred..."
He Qi's face was expressionless, his thin lips parted slightly, and he uttered two words coldly and cruelly:
"no."
The author has something to say:
Pei Nianyu: Oh, Xiao Xiaoxiao, I love you so much, why don't you punish me.
Lian Xiao: Thank you, Master!
