Mountain People - v6 Chapter 45

    At that time, Mrs. Xu said that she had found a daughter-in-law of the right household for them, and let them enter the house to see what the identity of the other party was, but Mrs. Xu did not mention a word, and was mysterious and ambiguous. .

    At that time, when the brothers heard that she was a beautiful woman or a daughter-in-law for them, they didn’t think much about it at all, and the Xu family kept beguiling them, saying that as long as the raw rice was cooked, they would be able to Having a reliable Yue family will be of great benefit to their future prospects.

    In this way, the two really couldn’t refuse, and they entered the room arranged by Xu’s without thinking.

    Dong Chenghu’s eyes widened in astonishment. He didn’t expect that someone like Pei Dongqi would have such an unreliable first partner. Although he knew earlier that Xu’s arrogance and domineering was not very reasonable, Dong Chenghu really didn’t expect it. The Xu family had the courage to do such uncontrollable things. It seems that even if they did not turn against Liu Yueyi, the Pei family would be in chaos sooner or later with the Xu family around.

    Seeing that Pei Zhongren had already confessed to Mrs Xu, he simply pushed all the things he said on Mrs Xu, and cried bitterly: “My father just because he knows the truth, go to To settle accounts with my mother, I was so angry that my mother fell ill, if it was really our brother’s idea, my father would definitely not let us go, so why just go to my mother to settle accounts?”

    Because Pei Zhonghe said this, Dong Chenghu almost believed his one-sided words.

    Pei Zhongxin’s heart was cold and cold, thinking that since both of them have identified Xu, in order to avoid more people being punished, they had to grit their teeth and confirm what the two younger brothers said.

    Pei Zhongjun and Pei Zhonglin watched from the side, their faces full of ridicule, then the Xu family is their biological mother, one two or three, to sacrifice her without hesitation. It’s just different, different ruthless, cold-blooded, and now even the Xu family can sacrifice, what are their second and third rooms? If they don’t break away from the big house as soon as possible, they won’t know when they will be sold by the big house.

      I can no longer live under the same roof with the big family and my family, and ask the emperor to call the shots and let us split up.”

    “Cousin, you all have to think twice!” Pei Zhongxin didn’t expect Pei Zhongjun to have such courage, and he dared to propose the separation of the family!

    If he was in Dingguo Gongfu now, he would definitely be suppressed by Pei Dongqi at the first time when he made this request, but now he is asking it in front of the emperor, and they are both bitter masters now , If the emperor has a heart of compassion, what should he really do to help them?

    Pei Zhongxin’s heart was so distraught, but he didn’t dare to speak out in front of the emperor.

    Dong Chenghu did not expect that Pei Zhongjun would give him such a big surprise. You must know that he wanted to split the Pei family for a long time. Power, when the two rooms are no longer a threat to him, he can still be reused. From the outsider’s point of view, he is still a person who reuses the Pei family, but it will not chill the heart of the courtier.

      It is difficult to unite with one’s hands and feet. In the long run, when those forces gradually leave the Pei family’s heart, he can invisibly weaken the power of the Pei family.

    More importantly, Pei Dongqi’s current situation doesn’t seem to be much trouble. Look at this Pei Zhongxin, but he doesn’t have the courage of Pei Dongqi. It didn’t show it at all. Looking at the expectant eyes of the two brothers Pei Zhongjun, he considered it for a long time before slowly saying: “It is said that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. If this incident today is not too bad, I will not. Intervene to take care of Pei’s housework.

    It’s just that things have come before me, and the bitter master wants me to be the master for them, so I can’t ignore it, so, let’s talk about Xu’s first This conspiracy planned, although Pei Zhonghe and Pei Zhongren claim to be innocent, but you committed the matter, and you can’t escape.

    I will punish the Xu family down to the third grade, and will no longer enjoy the same treatment as the lady of the country, and fined 10,000 taels of silver as a punishment; as for Pei Zhonghe and Pei Zhongren, who seized the cousin’s wife, The crimes are terrible, but for the sake of them not being the main culprits, I will be punished lightly and punished with thirty rods each. Because you have already suffered a night of sin, the thirty rods will be forgiven, but your conduct is flawed, from now on Later, he was not allowed to join the army as an official.

    Do you have any objections? “

    “Your Majesty!” Pei Zhongxin looked at Dong Chenghu in horror, and wanted to intercede for the two younger brothers. If they could not join the army as officials in their lives, what would they do in the future?

      Heavy punishment? They suffered a lot of crimes outside yesterday. At this time, their bodies can’t bear other punishments. That’s all. In short, it’s good to save a life.

    At this time, Zhongxin Pei hated Pei Zhongjun and Pei Zhonglin inexplicably. He had already punished Pei Zhonghe and his brothers, why did he bring the matter to the emperor! It really doesn’t matter at all!

    Dong Chenghu saw that everyone was silent, and he was satisfied, and then said: “The second thing is about Pei Zhongjun and Pei Zhonglin! As a member of the Royal Forest Army, you should Knowing what to do and what not to do, you can go directly to me and ask me to make decisions for you if you are full of anger in your heart, but the two of you have dealt with it privately and arrogantly, and you even hang people on the city wall to cause riots among the people, which is really unforgivable!

    However, I see that there is a reason for the incident, and for the sake of your own frankness, I will punish you lightly and punish you to the lowest level of the Royal Forest Army, to guard the city gate for a year, and to reflect and repent.

    Thirdly, it is the family separation that you mentioned. I don’t want to care about it, but if something like this happens, it will really embarrass you if you continue to live under the same roof in the future. Let’s do it this way, you spread my will, tell Duke Dingguo, and say that I support your demands for separation, and see what he does! “

    Pei Zhongjun pulled Pei Zhonglin to his knees in surprise, the two did not expect the emperor to really decide for them to split up the family, and now that Ding Guogong is no longer, the family separation is not justified , He was just expressing his attitude. He didn’t expect that the emperor would be willing to do this for them, which greatly exceeded their expectations.
