Chapter 71: Yangcheng Demon Fox Case II
Chapter 71: Yang City Demon Fox Case (2)
The two brothers ran around the entire Pei Mansion for more than ten laps before finishing the calculation.
Pei Rongbai sat at the top of the table in a leisurely manner, without blushing or panting, drinking tea calmly, and said in a calm tone: "Well, you came to me this time, did you make something wrong or do you want me to replace you?Clean up what mess?"
"Tsk, brother, how do you sound so ugly?" Panting, Pei Rongxuan picked up a teacup and drank a cup, wiped the tea stains from his lips, and said, "Could it be that I'm fine, so I can't come to you?"
"No." Pei Rongbai said without hesitation.
Pei Rongxuan: ...
"Brother, you are really ruthless."
Qiao Songyu couldn't help but chuckled.
"Finally, what's the matter." Pei Rongbai said, taking another sip of tea.
Pei Rongxuan had no choice but to scratch his head, and said truthfully: "Isn't it because of that Nuanyu incident that I hurt my sister-in-law, so today I came here to make amends, and I hope my sister-in-law can forgive me."
Qiao Songyu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled generously: "Forget it, you were also used by someone with a heart, and it wasn't on purpose."
But Pei Rongbai said: "Apologize? A verbal apology is enough?"
"Of course not." Pei Rongxuan said, took out a small box from his bosom, opened the box, handed it to Qiao Songyu, and said, "This is a piece of fine jade, and the peony inside is formed naturally, veryPrecious, it is considered a priceless treasure, I wanted to give it to..." At this point, he paused, a trace of sadness flashed across his face, and then he quickly laughed, "Forget it, I will give it to my sister-in-law anyway, as a gift.Sorry."
Qiao Songyu held it in his hand and looked at it carefully. He saw a piece of round jade about the size of half a palm. It was no different from ordinary jade, but there was a very beautiful half-opened peony in the middle.Unworthy, it turned out to be naturally formed, so it can be said to be very precious....And what Pei Rongxuan didn't finish just now, he originally planned to give this piece of jade to his lover, right?He handed the box back and said, "This is too expensive, I can't accept it."
"Sister-in-law, take it. Anyway, I don't like this kind of thing." Pei Rongxuan said with a smile, "I surprised my sister-in-law and almost got wronged, so I should make an apology to my sister-in-law."
"But this...you wanted to give it to your lover, right?" Qiao Songyu asked hesitantly, then looked at Pei Rongbai again, and seeing that his expression had not changed, she continued, "Precious is once.The meaning is another matter."
Pei Rongxuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled helplessly: "You know? My elder brother told you, right?" Seeing Qiao Songyu nodding, he turned around, avoiding the eyes of the two, and said, "ActuallyXinnian has passed away for several years, this thing can no longer be given away, stay here with me, I will regret it once I see it, it is better to give it to the right person, it can be regarded as my regret." Saying, turnTurning around, there was no trace of sadness on his face, just the same smile as usual, "Sister-in-law, just accept it."
Qiao Songyu was stunned, but felt that although Pei Rongxuan still had a normal expression, he was a bit unfamiliar, he nodded, closed the box, and said: "Okay then, I'll take it." Then he said, "I thoughtYou must be a good man."
Pei Rongxuan just smiled and didn't answer.After a while, he said to Pei Rongbai again: "I heard that brother, you are going to Yang City to investigate the famous demon fox case, but is it true?"
"Well, you also heard the news?" Pei Rongbai asked with raised eyebrows.
"En." Pei Rongxuan nodded, and asked again, "This matter is the responsibility of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, why do you need to go in person?"
Qiao Songyu naturally knew that Pei Rongbai was not only going to investigate the demon fox case this time, but secretly also wanted to investigate the Xie family account book case, but he didn't know whether Pei Rongbai planned to disclose this matter to Pei Rongxuan, so he didn't say anything.
Pei Rongbai just smiled at Pei Rongxuan, and said: "What do you think? This case has caused a lot of noise. It is said that the people of Yang City are terrified, and they close their doors early and early every night.What's more, look at the current Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice, how many people are capable of investigating cases? They all rely on torture to extract confessions, so I still have to go."
"Then what if it's really a demon fox?" Pei Rongxuan asked, "Aren't you also very dangerous?"
Pei Rongbai shook his head: "I think someone is pretending to be a ghost." He added, "But it doesn't matter, this time His Majesty also sent Ming Kong to go with me. This Prime Minister's Temple is famous for its gathering of eminent monks, so it must be to eliminate demons."Devil, it shouldn't be a problem..."
Qiao Songyu's eyes widened in surprise: "Really? Can these eminent monks really cast down demons?"
Pei Rongxuan smiled brightly when his elder brother said it, and said: "Sister-in-law, you believe his nonsense. Master Ming Kong is his best friend. Does the Great Monk Ming Kong have mana, whether he can subdue demons and demons?Know?"
Only then did Qiao Songyu realize that Pei Rongbai was joking, she couldn't help being disappointed, and said: "I really thought that a high-ranking monk can subdue demons."
"However, more than thirty years ago, Prime Minister's Temple really helped the royal family handle a monster case." Naturally, Pei Rongbai couldn't see his little wife disappointed, so he told him what he knew, "This matter isIt is a royal secret, and I also heard about it from my father."
"What case?" Qiao Songyu immediately asked excitedly.
Pei Rongxuan also became curious: "Yes, does such a thing really happen?"
"En." Pei Rongbai nodded, and said, "Thirty years ago, there was a legend in the palace that there was a cat demon who would appear on the night of the full moon, and it would not hurt anyone.These concubines were terrified when they were dressed in the human form in front of the mirror. At that time, Suzong invited the eminent monk from Prime Minister's Temple to see the mage, and practiced in the palace.There is no cat demon showing up."
After hearing this, Qiao Songyu couldn't help but be disappointed: "This case is not as thrilling as the Yang City case!"
Pei Rongxuan also said: "That's right, there is no danger, it's nothing weird."
Pei Rongbai smiled lightly when he heard the words, and looked at them, as if looking at two innocent children: "But I haven't finished this matter yet." He paused, and then said, "After Master Shenjian finished the Dharma, said"Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful. This demon has a destiny with His Majesty. In the next life, he will be reborn in the Emperor's family, and he will be safe for His Majesty." As a result, that night, Concubine Shu, who was nine months pregnant at that time, gave birth to a baby boy.At that time, Emperor Suzong remembered what the Master said, so he named him 'Cheng'an'..."
Both Qiao Songyu and Pei Rongxuan were so surprised that they almost fell off their chairs: "It's King Jing?!"
Qiao Songyu even remembered that when he saw King Jing once, King Jing held a cat in his arms and looked very intimate with him... Thinking of this, he couldn't help getting goosebumps all over his body.
Oh my god, it's scary!
Seeing that both of them were so shocked, Pei Rongbai couldn't help laughing: "That's right. So Emperor Suzong loved King Jing very much, it was only because the courtiers objected to abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones, not to mention that the first emperor had no fault at that time, so there was nothing wrong with him."It can make King Jing the crown prince. And this matter, in the previous emperorโs dynasty, was also a secret that was forbidden to be mentioned. After all, this matter said that King Jing was the real emperor recognized by the heavens, so the former emperor was naturally very taboo.โ
"The world is so big and full of wonders." Pei Rongxuan sighed, thought for a while, and then said, "Brother, I also want to go to Yang City this time, so I can give you a helping hand."
Pei Rongbai sneered and said, "Are you going to join in the fun? What are you talking about so nicely?"
"What if I can help?" Pei Rongxuan said unconvinced.
"Okay, just don't make trouble for me when the time comes." Pei Rongbai agreed very readily.
Qiao Songyu at the side: ...
As soon as people say you agree, if I say I want to go, I can't do this, or if I can't do it, you still have to lie to me in various ways?Is it true that brothers are like brothers and wives are like clothes?
