Without money, what is the point of being a traitor?

Chapter 334 The friend you are talking about is you, right?
Pei Yuan went to find Tian Fu in a hurry, and saw the Jinyiwei standing guard outside Tian Fu's house from a distance.

Chen Toutie took the lead and led his men forward, shouting, "Captain Pei from the Evil Suppression Thousand Households has arrived, everyone come out to greet him!"

As he spoke, he pushed open the Jinyiwei guarding the door and led his men to seize the gate.

Many of the Jinyiwei from Nanjing had seen Pei Yuan in Huai'an. They certainly did not dare to resist the second-in-command of the Qianhu Suo, and those who did not resist were isolated and exiled.

Pei Yuan was concerned about Tian Fu's life or death, and had no time to pay attention to these guys, so he rushed directly into the yard.

In the small house, several Jinyiwei were seen searching everywhere, trying to find the whereabouts of Tian Fu.

A military officer was still yelling angrily, "He was hiding in the room just now, find him carefully!"

The Jinyiwei were skilled in rummaging through boxes and knocking on the brick walls.

A Jinyiwei soldier also captured the old servant of the Tian family and tortured him.

It was unclear whether the old servant was loyal or truly ignorant; even though he was covered in wounds, he still said he knew nothing.

Not far from these people, Tian Fu, who was trembling with nervousness, was ridiculously holding a leaf to cover his face, hiding in the corner of the wall facing the courtyard gate.

The Jinyiwei in the courtyard glanced over there several times, but it seemed as if they were turning a blind eye.

Tian Fu saw Pei Yuan and blinked at him pitifully.

Pei Yuan was stunned and stood there in a daze.

Cen Meng and others who rushed in soon after also saw this scene, and looked at the people in the yard in confusion.

The general flag leader of the team had met Pei Yuan. When he saw him and his men breaking in, he hurriedly came over with many Jinyiwei to pay their respects.

Pei Yuan was not moved and did not reveal Tian Fu's affairs. Instead, he asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

The military officer replied, "I am Shen Jun, the general flag of the Jinyiwei. I am here on the orders of Captain Han to kill the candidate who plotted against Deputy Captain Pei."

When Tian Fu heard this, he understood what was going on and his face turned pale.

Some people were afraid to look at Pei Yuan.

Pei Yuan asked, "Oh, how is it going?"

Shen Jun replied, "When I first came, I saw the scholar in the room. I was about to catch him, but he blocked the door. Then when I rushed into the room, he disappeared."

"I think there might be a secret passage in this courtyard, so I'll have my men look for it."

Pei Yuan was speechless. Chen Toutie, Cen Meng and others looked at Shen Jun and the others with strange eyes, and then looked at Tian Fu who was hiding and dared not move.

Pei Yuan was a little surprised. "I don't think you have any special skills. How dare you do this?"

Shen Jun naturally told the second in command of the evil suppression unit, "I have an arrow. If I throw it, it will definitely hit the opponent's heart. Even if the scholar has some tricks, I'm afraid he can't do anything."

"I was careless before and failed to kill that man right away, giving him a chance to escape."

Pei Yuan was a little curious, "Can I take a look?"

Shen Jun hesitated for a moment, took out an arrow from the cloth bag behind him, and handed it to Pei Yuan with both hands.

Pei Yuan took a look and it seemed ordinary and nothing special. It seemed that there was a special method to activate it.

As a boss, he was naturally embarrassed to ask others for such a rare treasure, otherwise no one would work for him in the future.

Pei Yuan couldn't see anything strange and returned the arrow to Shen Jun.

Seeing that his beloved Tian Fu was safe and sound, Pei Yuan recovered from his heartbreak.

He didn't want to be like Liu Bei, who died before achieving his great cause.

As everyone calmed down, Pei Yuan asked Chen Toutie in a low voice, "Toutie, was I a little too excited just now?"

Chen Toutie nodded vigorously, and almost subconsciously gave a solution, "How about voting for Prince Ning?"

"Get lost!" Pei Yuan was furious, staring at Chen Tou Tie and saying, "I am loyal to Han Qianhu, and the sun and the sky can bear witness to that!"

Pei Yuan suddenly understood what was going on.

Someone must have reported his movements in Beijing to Captain Han, so Captain Han intervened remotely and sent a team of Jinyiwei to help him eliminate the trouble.

Think about the people who appeared at the scene today, this traitor is either Tan Tai Fang Tu or Si Kong Sui!

No wonder Yang Fang said that he was here to deal with this emergency.

Pei Yuan suddenly realized what was going on, but also felt a little tingling on his scalp.

In this case, Han Qianhu's letter...

Could it be a subtle and gentle way of expressing concern for a subordinate who is in trouble?

What the hell did I get back?
Pei Yuan wiped his sweat vigorously and urged Chen Toutie, "Quick, go see if the messenger has gone far away."

Chen Toutie took two steps, then turned back and said hesitantly, "Captain, it's been quite a while."

There was more sweat on Pei Yuan's forehead.

——"I missed you too."

——"Love you Pei Yuan."

I'm gonna explode right here on the spot!
Pei Yuan's hands frantically dug into his hair.

Do not--!
Chen Toutie had never seen Pei Qianhu so uncalm before. He was not a smart man and could only give the only ideas he could think of.

"Why don't you go and see General Song again?"

Pei Yuan finally found the target of his anger. He pointed at Chen Toutie and cursed, "Traitor! It's all because of you villains. How can I face Han Qianhu again?!"

As he said this, he walked up to Chen Toutie and started beating and kicking him.

Chen Toutie held his head and endured it silently.

Fortunately, Captain Pei also understood that he was in the wrong, so he gave up after hitting him a few times.

Suddenly I became discouraged and said that I really missed her and I didn't lie.

Just die.

Pei Yuan didn't want to be laughed at by outsiders, so he decided to deal with the current situation first.

Pei Yuan was no longer confident at this moment, so he said to Shen Jun, "Since we can't find it, forget it. This matter was a misunderstanding by a villain, so it's not worth believing."

He glanced at the guilty Tian Fu and said, "Tian Fu and I are close friends, how could he harm me?"

Shen Jun was a little hesitant after hearing this.

Pei Yuan added, "When you return to Nanjing, tell them that this is my intention. Since Captain Han has allowed me to rule the area north of the Huai River, he will not argue with me over trivial matters."

As for other things...

Pei Yuan felt a little heavy in his heart.

Upon hearing this, Shen Jun knew that it was not something he could get involved in. He hadn't finished his work yet, and it would not be good for him to stay for long, so he respectfully took his leave.

Pei Yuan watched Shen Jun leave, and saw him meet Yang Fang who was rushing over from afar.

The two chatted briefly and left quickly.

Perhaps because he realized he was safe, Tian Fu dropped the leaf with some embarrassment, came out and bowed deeply to Pei Yuan, "Tian would like to thank Captain Pei for coming to help." Pei Yuan did not respond, but his attention was attracted by the leaf.

Chen Toutie was very sensible and picked it up from the ground and handed the leaf to Pei Yuan.

Pei Yuan looked at the intact yellow leaf and asked Tian Fu curiously, "Where did this come from?"

Tian Fu wanted to explain the previous incident to Pei Yuan, but Pei Yuan didn't mention it, so he could only go along with it and said, "Last autumn, I was reading in the yard, and a leaf fell, so I picked it up and used it as a bookmark."

Pei Yuan understood that it seemed that Tian Fu's ability had nothing to do with the leaf, so he twisted the leaf and asked curiously, "How did you make those people ignore you?"

Tian Fu answered honestly, "It's just a trick."

Pei Yuan was surprised again, "Then why can't Shen Jun and the others see you, but we are not affected."

Tian Fu hesitated for a moment, looked at Pei Yuan and replied, "We, the strategists, are so eloquent and can deceive people, but we rely on the fact that the authorities are confused."

When Pei Yuan saw that Tian Fu directly acknowledged his identity, he realized that this guy wanted to have a deeper chat.

He just wanted to give an explanation for the last time he plotted against Pei Yuan.

Pei Yuan smiled at Tian Fu and said, "Don't mind it."

It's not that Pei Yuan didn't want to have a deep talk with Tian Fu, nor did he not want to take the opportunity to drag Tian Fu into the pirate ship, nor did he deliberately keep Tian Fu hanging, but this matter could not be resolved like this.

Pei Yuan didn't want to talk, and Tian Fu also realized the difficulty of the situation.

He did use some clever tricks, and believed that he had concealed it from Pei Yuan, but he did not expect that things would get out of control so quickly, and now the man's family had come to find him.

Given his experience and broad knowledge, he was still nervous when a group of Jinyiwei came to his house with knives to take revenge.

I managed to escape this time, but what about going down?

Tian Fu wanted to hide back in his hometown in Guangdong, but he was afraid of bringing trouble to his family, so he was not in a very good mood for a while.

Pei Yuan seemed to have seen through Tian Fu's thoughts and flicked the leaf over to him. "Brother Tian, ​​just relax. I can still protect you in this capital. If you run into any more trouble, you can come to Zhihua Temple to find me."

Tian Fu immediately gave up the idea of ​​escaping the capital and said with a wry smile, "Captain Pei, if you need me, please let me know."

Pei Yuan smiled and turned to leave.

Tian Fu said from behind, "Captain Pei was always happy and joyful when he talked with Tian, ​​and he didn't seem to be pretending. I think he has let go of his hatred for Tian."

"Qian Hu is so magnanimous, Tian admires him."

Seeing Pei Yuan walking out without any reaction, Tian Fu gritted his teeth and said.

"The thousand households are so magnanimous, and they make Tian afraid."

Pei Yuan paused for a moment, then turned around and looked at Tian Fu, "I have something on my mind. If you can help me resolve it, how about we part ways from now on?"

Tian Fu felt a little hope after hearing this, and said quickly, "Please let the thousand households try to explain it."

Pei Yuan looked around.

Chen Toutie and Cen Meng immediately and sensibly led their men to retreat.

Seeing that the person was far away, Pei Yuan cleared his throat and said, "It's like this, I have a friend..."

Tian Fu listened for a while, his eyes subtle.

The friend you are talking about is you, right?
However, as Captain Pei explained the details, Tian Fu became more and more confused.

Pei Yuan didn't notice the mess of Tian Fu, and asked "My Phoenix" sadly, "What if she ignores me in the future?"

Tian Fu sighed when he heard this.

After a long while, he folded his hands and said quietly, "Tian has been learning the skills of a strategist since he was young. I think I can turn right into wrong and cover up my faults with my sharp tongue. I never thought that there would be a day when I would be speechless when asked a question."

Pei Yuan was disappointed and left, shaking his head.

When Pei Yuan reunited with his subordinates in a depressed mood, everyone saw that he was in a bad mood and did not dare to say much.

Cen Meng had just been promoted to the general flag for his loyalty and bravery, and his mentality had not yet calmed down. Seeing that Pei Yuan was not very happy and wanted to show off, he took the initiative to interrupt and advise, "If the captain is bored, why not go and see the general flag Song."

Pei Yuan glared at him when he heard this. Another treacherous minister!

General Song has been very kind to you in the past!
I didn't expect people's hearts to be so cold.

Pei Yuan sighed, "Forget it. Eunuch Gu will have to deal with inquiries from the cabinet and the seven ministers today. The result is still unknown. You guys should come with me to see Eunuch Gu."

Pei Yuan didn't know what kind of reaction the letter would arouse when it arrived in Nanjing.

Just enrich yourself by doing things.

By the time we arrived at Gu Dayong's residence, it was already dark.

Upon hearing that Pei Yuan had arrived, Gu Dayong hurried out to greet him in person.

Seeing that Gu Dayong was so urgent, Pei Yuan knew that today's inquiry might not be as satisfactory.

When asked in the hall, Gu Dayong sighed and said, "Today's questioning was not so bad. The court officials asked questions frequently at the beginning, but when we took out the letters from the generals and commanders, everyone was speechless."

"The emperor saw that we were doing well and was very kind to us. But it was a pity that the cabinet still gave us a futile response."

After hearing this, Pei Yuan also felt that this would be the result, but he really couldn't say anything.

After fighting for more than a year, the Bazhou army is still alive and well. What's wrong with saying that you have wasted your troops and achieved nothing?

Just as he was about to say a few words of comfort against his conscience, he heard Gu Dayong say with a resentful look on his face.

"The good people of Nabazhou rebelled for no reason. Shouldn't we ask all the ministers in the court about this?"

"The Beijing army, border troops, and garrisons together have more than 200,000 people, but they just can't win. What can we do? We are in charge of the Western Factory. Is there a soldier here that we trained?"

Pei Yuan didn't want to pay attention to Gu Dayong's complaints. He was concerned about the subsequent handling of this matter, so he interrupted and asked, "Has the emperor said how to place the eunuch?"

Gu Dayong shrank after hearing this, "The Shangyi Supervisor and the Duzhi Supervisor have to pick one, and we have to choose on the spot. We have to choose one."

Pei Yuan understood after hearing this.

Zhu Houzhao was determined to replace the old with the new. He had realized that these loyal trash were of no use. The old people of Hongzhi, represented by Xiao Jing, Lu Ting, Zhang Zhong and Zhang Rui, would soon rise.

Otherwise, he would not have let Gu Dayong decide his destination on the spot and directly stopped him from thinking about it.

Pei Yuan asked, "Then I wonder which one Eunuch Gu chose?"

Gu Dayong was silent for a long time before he answered, "The one our family selected is the Duzhijian, and he is now the Duzhijian's seal-holding eunuch."

Pei Yuan could only console her by saying, "That's better. At least you can serve the emperor and not be completely ignored."

As the name suggests, the Shangyijian was responsible for managing the clothes and accessories in the palace. Since silk and cloth were equivalent to money in that era, it was considered one of the more lucrative departments in the palace.

The Duzhijian was responsible for transmitting information, checking and replacing the ivory plates, and was also responsible for communicating with outsiders who were not allowed to get close to the emperor when he was traveling.

Gu Dayong was depressed for a while, then he looked expectant, "Pei Yuan, my West Factory..."

Pei Yuan avoided answering and asked, "Have you told Qiu Ju about what happened today?"

Gu Dayong nodded, "Qiu Ju is also very depressed."
