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

Chapter 350: Weak Girl
Tian Fu simply couldn't describe his feelings at this moment.

This guy is not teasing the silly boy.

Pei Yuan was in a good mood.

Although he also wanted to go to Shandong, he went there to avoid the political risks of the court in the next six months.

It is impossible for him to focus all his energy on developing Luojiao.

Although Chen Toutie is loyal, he is not very smart.

When Luojiao becomes stronger, it will be very difficult for him to firmly grasp Luojiao with his ability. By giving Tian Fu, a think tank, to help him, Pei Yuan can save a lot of trouble.

Moreover, if Pei Yuan wanted to make deep efforts in Shandong, the enemies he would have to fight would be much more troublesome than those foolish men and women.

First of all, there are the two major military regions: Shandong Military Command and Beiwo Military Command.

Pei Yuan thought about it carefully and realized that with his current strength and foundation, it was almost impossible for him to get involved in these two major military regions.

With just the few trusted men he has, even if all of them were sent to serve as garrison commanders, there probably wouldn't be enough people.

So how should Pei Yuan deal with these two great commanders who can defend the capital at any time?

Pei Yuan’s own idea was to marginalize the Beiwodusi and push it to the sea as much as possible.

These people can be used to guard the borders and keep the enemy out of the country, and their variables can also be reduced.

As for the Shandong Regional Military Commission, we couldn't rob it or defeat it, so we could only try to paralyze it.

Pei Yuan already had some ideas, but he needed to see it in person first.

In addition to these two Dusi, Pei Yuan also had a huge internal problem to deal with, that was the vassal king in Shandong.

One is the powerful Prince De who owns a large tract of land in Shandong, and the other is the lineage of Prince Lu who has extensive connections in the court.

There are also Heng king in Qingzhou and Jing king in Yizhou. These two kings are honest and don't talk much, so they are not worth mentioning.

In addition, Shandong’s officialdom is relatively complicated, and it is easy for a small move to affect the entire body.

Because Shandong occupies a very important position in the Ming Dynasty's ruling order, it has special long-arm jurisdiction.

For example, the deputy envoy of Shandong Provincial Surveillance Commissioner mentioned above can directly exercise supervision over the three guards of Tianjin.

The Liaodong region is also in the same situation.

During the Zhengde period, although there was an independent Liaodong Regional Military Commission in Liaodong, except for military command, all other powers were almost completely hollowed out by Shandong officials.

The Liaodong Military Commission had 25 guards under its jurisdiction, and the supervision of these 25 guards was incorporated into the Liaohai Dongning Road under the Shandong Provincial Administration. The arsenals and granaries of these 25 guards were all transferred to the Shandong Provincial Administration.

In other words, the two extremely important powers of military law and logistics were completely taken away.

In addition, the local government affairs of Liaodong were also taken over by officials sent down from Shandong. Many local officials in Liaodong also had to hold the post of Shandong Provincial Administration Commissioner or Shandong Provincial Censor.

As for whether the local officials in Liaodong are happy about it?

Of course I would!
Because when Liaodong was conquered, they crossed the sea from Shandong, and many Liaodong people’s hometown is Shandong.

All the places for the imperial examinations for scholars were allocated to them from Shandong. Therefore, any civil servant from Liaodong must have a Shandong origin.

Under such circumstances, will Liaodong be dissatisfied with Shandong's management?
That's so unobjectionable.

Those who know Shandong people must of course be close to Shandong.

Coupled with Shandong's vast plains and the Grand Canal running through it, Pei Yuan's determination to govern Shandong became even stronger.

After Pei Yuan had eaten and drunk his fill, he said to Tian Fu, "When you have compiled the teaching method, follow Chen Toutie to familiarize yourself with it first."

"In a few days I will take a concubine, the granddaughter of former Grand Secretary Jiao Fang. Gu Dayong and Qiu Ju will come to celebrate. I will also write to Wang Chang, asking him to go to Beijing as soon as possible to take over, and perhaps he will be able to catch up with the happy event. When the time comes, you can communicate more with the three of them and see how to make the Luo Sect stronger."

Tian Fu: “…”

So, is it true that the captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, together with the directors of the East and West Factories, and the Nanjing Minister of War, wanted to jointly establish a cult?
How the hell is this so magical?

The meal took a little longer, mainly because Pei Yuan spent a lot of time explaining some of Luo Jiao's arrangements to Tian Fu.

By the time we had enough fun and left the Tian family's house, it was already late.

The days are short in spring. When Pei Yuan and his brothers were walking back, they saw the sun was already dim.

Pei Yuan couldn't help but mutter to himself, "I haven't told Yan'er about taking a concubine in a few days."

Chen Toutie, who was standing by, waved his hand, and someone came over and whispered a few words.

Chen Toutie said, "Because of his active performance in the Liang Ci case, the censor Zhang Lian has been sent to Datong to patrol the border by the resentful Liang Chu. Now the Zhang family has no one who can take charge."

Pei Yuan's heart moved, and he found an excuse, "Oh, then there is no need to go through the main gate. The red tape is also troublesome."

Chen Toutie thought to himself that General Song and his young wife were hiding in someone's wealthy mansion for refuge, so it was impossible for them to go to their house openly.

But Chen Toutie already understood Pei Yuan's attitude of wanting both, so he helped to give him a way out.

"It's still early now. If we are seen by strangers, it will bring disgrace to the Zhang family. It would be better to meet the young lady later."

Pei Yuan was very pleased to hear this, "You are still very thoughtful."

Pei Yuan randomly found a teahouse and listened to some music. His mind was very active at the moment and he really couldn't calm down.

As soon as it got dark, Pei Yuan left stealthily and went straight to the house of Censor Zhang Lian.

Pei Yuan went straight to the back garden as if he was familiar with the route. However, it was still early and he could faintly hear the voices of maids chatting and laughing.

He was waiting outside the wall feeling somewhat depressed. Chen Toutie, Chen Xinjian and Cen Meng, three Jinyi military officers, were very tactful and helped to keep watch.

Pei Yuan has been busy these days, and finally when the situation has stabilized, he has time to spend some time with the beautiful Jiao.

With this mentality of taking a break from the busy schedule, I don't have any strong thoughts.

But after being kept hanging outside the wall for a while, my appetite was aroused.

When the noise in the garden died down, Pei Yuan hesitated for a moment whether he should wait a little longer to be safer, but in the end he couldn't resist the urge and took the risk to climb in.

Fortunately, he fell to the ground silently and there was no one in the garden.

Pei Yuan had been here once and was quite familiar with the place.

I went around to the front yard and saw that there was still light in the main hall and the sound of laughter could be heard faintly.

Zhang Yunjun lives in this courtyard, so naturally there is no one else in the main hall. I just don't know whether Zhang Yunjun is entertaining guests or playing with Song Chunniang.

Pei Yuan hesitated for a moment, then tiptoed closer.

It was still a little cold at that time of the night, and the doors and windows were all tightly closed. Pei Yuan couldn't hear clearly, but he saw that there was a window in the west wing that was not closed tightly, and he was thinking secretly in his mind.

The rooms on both sides of the main house were either where Zhang Yunjun lived or where her maids rested.

Now that there are guests, Zhang Yunjun must go out to greet them, and the maid dare not stay in her room.

Why not give it a try?

Pei Yuan went over and pushed gently, and found that the window was not closed tightly, and there was indeed no one in the room.

Pei Yuan gently pushed the window open, showing unprecedented flexibility and climbing in through the window.

After everyone went in, Pei Yuan was a little confused.

What am I doing here...

Were you too focused just now?
Pei Yuan didn't know why he got so excited that he put himself in such an awkward situation. There were so many people in the hall now. Even if he wanted to talk to Song Chunniang, it was not the right time. Pei Yuan was thinking when he saw the door curtain slightly lifted, and a dim yellow candlelight came through the hall, illuminating his appearance.

Pei Yuan was startled, but saw a slender figure blocking the light.

The person who came raised her eyebrows, with a charming and graceful look in her eyes. It was Song Chunniang.

Pei Yuan was a little embarrassed.

Just as he was about to signal Song Chunniang to be quiet, a woman in the hall asked, "What's wrong?"

Song Chunniang turned her head and replied with a smile, "It's the wind."

As he said this, he came in, looked at Pei Yuan meaningfully, and went to close the window.

Pei Yuan looked at Song Chunniang.

Seeing the curtain fall, the people in the hall smiled and answered as usual. He couldn't resist the urge to do so and hugged Song Chunniang, who was passing by, tightly in his arms.

Song Chunniang had anticipated Pei Yuan's little thoughts, but he used too much force and hugged her so tightly that she couldn't help breathing heavily. She finally couldn't help but hum softly, and her warm breath blew on Pei Yuan's face.

Pei Yuan couldn't help himself and kissed her directly.

Song Chunniang didn't know what she was thinking of. Her eyes moved slightly, and she couldn't help wanting to laugh when Pei Yuan kissed her.

Then she moved her body gently in response, deliberately teasing Pei Yuan.

Pei Yuan was overjoyed when he felt Song Chunniang's slender fingers sliding on his back.

Pei Yuan didn't understand why, but he was aroused by Song Chunniang and didn't care about anything else. He couldn't stand the ambiguous touch and held Song Chunniang's waist tightly.

Song Chunniang gently slid "two" on Pei Yuanbei again.

Although Song Chunniang was held tightly by Pei Yuan, it did not stop her from doing evil.

Her legs were very long, and by standing on tiptoe she could meet him just right. Then her waist, which was being held down, began to sway slowly like a snake.

"Hiss——" Pei Yuan couldn't help but take a breath.

He felt that he had been reckless.

Song Chunniang did a good job in this kind of thing, and I shouldn't have taken control of it at will.

Pei Yuan loosened his grip slightly and just supported her waist, then he felt Song Chunniang's fingers making another "three" on her back.

Pei Yuan was a little confused.

Then I heard another woman's voice in the hall calling out, "Why aren't you well yet?"

Song Chunniang smiled at Pei Yuan, turned around like the wind, lifted the curtain and left.

Pei Yuan was left speechless, caught off guard.

His hands were still clasped in the air, and the bone-melting tenderness just now was still lingering in his mind. The sudden emptiness made Pei Yuan almost go crazy.

But he still knows the importance of things.

The women who were allowed to visit the Censor's home must be from a scholarly family, and might even be the wives and daughters of officials in the court.

Pei Yuan wasn't so crazy as to dare to chase after him.

But he was so aroused at the moment that he couldn't help but quietly lift the curtain and look outside.

Last time, Pei Yuan accidentally opened the door. It was pitch black at that time and he couldn't see anything clearly. He just heard Song Chunniang and Zhang Yunjun moaning softly in the tent of the wing room.

That time, Song Chunniang deliberately plotted against Pei Yuan, and even pretended to be in a relationship with Zhang Yunjun in front of Pei Yuan.

Pei Yuan was well aware of Song Chunniang's little thoughts, but at that time Pei Yuan had just enjoyed the beauty Jiao, and when he saw that he had to fight two people alone, he couldn't help but feel scared before the battle even started.

Pei Yuan and Song Chunniang knew each other well and had some resistance, but when he thought of Zhang Yunjun's mosquito-like voice "Goodbye, Qianhu" and the ambiguous and absurd environment at that time, Pei Yuan couldn't sleep for several days.

Pei Yuan had never seen Zhang Yunjun's appearance before, and his mind was in a mess, making him more and more itchy.

He looked carefully and saw that the main hall was quite large, with a banquet in the middle and delicacies on the table. There were five or six good-looking girls drinking fruit wine from small cups.

The fruit wine did not seem to be very strong, and the girls laughed and joked intoxicatedly, but they did not lose their composure.

Song Chunniang sat at the table with a smile on her face, and she was not particularly close to anyone, so Pei Yuan couldn't guess which girl was Zhang Yunjun.

There were two middle-aged women talking in low voices at the table.

Pei Yuan recognized one of them, who was Zhang Yunjun's mother. Pei Yuan had met her once when he sent Song Chunniang out. He was not very sure about the other one.

But judging from his appearance, he seemed to be from a family of officials.

Pei Yuan became more and more depressed. In this situation, Pei Yuan couldn't rush out and capture Song Chunniang.

Pei Yuan was thinking when Song Chunniang glanced over at him with a smile.

Captain Pei was flexible and quickly put on a pleading look.

Song Chunniang turned her head and whispered something to a young girl next to her, and the girl's cheeks turned visibly red.

But because of the slight smell of alcohol, no one else noticed anything.

Pei Yuan's heart moved slightly, and he immediately understood that this should be the Zhang Yunjun who was harmed by Song Chunniang.

Her appearance was dignified and a bit bookish and childish, and Pei Yuan felt that it matched the gentle "Goodbye, Qianhu".

The girl lowered her head slightly, and Song Chunniang continued to speak in a low voice.

Suddenly his hand shook and the wine in the glass spilled onto the girl's dress.

The girl stood up hurriedly.

Zhang Yunjun's mother saw this and felt it was rude. Seeing her daughter's dress stained with wine, she couldn't blame Song Zongqi who was visiting. She could only say, "How could you be so careless?"

Zhang Yunjun wanted to say something, but Song Chunniang gently pushed her away. Her ears also turned red, and she said softly, "My daughter will go and change it now."

Having said that, he stood up and walked towards the room where Pei Yuan was.

Pei Yuan was surprised. What did Song Chunniang mean by this?

He was a little nervous and hastily straightened the hem of his robe.

The door curtain was opened, and the dignified girl with a bookish and childish look paused slightly at the door.

Perhaps it was because the candlelight was not enough and the room was dim, her eyes appeared dark.

She looked at Pei Yuan nervously without saying a word, then pursed her lips, lowered her head and walked past Pei Yuan, looking for clothes in the closet beside the bed.

Her fingers were a little flustered and she failed to open the wardrobe lid several times.

Pei Yuan said nothing and went over to help open the lid of the wardrobe.

Zhang Yunjun's face turned even redder. She searched around in a panic and finally picked up a skirt at random.

Then she lowered her head and changed her clothes silently.

Perhaps because there was a man in the room, even though she was just changing her skirt, the action of undressing was tempting enough.

Her tight pants were a bit loose, which made her calves look very slender. Pei Yuan looked at the weak girl and felt as if there was a devil calling out to him in his heart.
