On the steps at the gate of Pei Mansion, Wang Xu was walking back and forth with his hands behind his back. He was considering how to ask Pei Ju for help. After all, Wang and Pei families are in-laws and are both famous families in Hedong. Whether his son can escape this disaster depends on whether the Pei family can help him.

At this time, the side door opened, Pei Jin walked out quickly, bowed to Wang Xu, "Sister Pei Jin, see Uncle Shi!"

Pei Jin was appointed as the young minister of Dali Temple and the eldest grandson of Pei, which made Wang Xu feel a little embarrassed. The Pei family did not indulge him. He nodded and smiled, "Can Zu be safe?"

"Grandfather is not in good health recently."

Wang Xu was stunned, "Why is this?"

Pei Jin said respectfully: "The morning and evening have been cold recently, and the temperature difference is relatively large. My grandfather accidentally felt a cold wind the day before yesterday and is now lying in bed."

When Wang Xu heard that Pei Ju was sick, he suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart, which made him a little trouble. He pondered for a while, "Can I let me visit Ling Zu?"

"Of course, please go with your nephew!"

Pei Jin led Wang Xu to the inner courtyard. He asked slowly: "Is there anything wrong with Uncle Shi looking for his grandfather?"

Although Pei Jin is a junior, he is a young minister of Dali Temple, a fourth-rank high-ranking official, and a eldest grandson. Wang Xu dared not act like an elder to him in the future.

He sighed and said, "The family is unfortunate. There are several children in the clan who are ignorant and violate the ban to make wine. There is a dog son Wang Qi in it, which has some trouble."

Pei Jin had to admire his grandfather's skillful methods. Although he didn't know what happened, Wang Xu came uninvited, and something big must have happened. He had to ask the Pei family for help. At this time, no matter whether he could help or not, he had to leave room for himself to refuse. Pretending to be sick is undoubtedly a clever way.

Sure enough, something happened to the Wang family and violated the winemaking ban. This morning, Pei Jin also attended the court meeting held in the Ziwei Pavilion Semi-circle Hall as the deputy official of Dali Temple.

At the court meeting, the King of Chu clearly determined the tone of diligence and thrift in building a country. It was strictly forbidden to use grain to make wine. As soon as the tone was set in the morning, something happened to the Wang family and hit the wind. It was obvious that the King of Chu would attack the Wang family and kill a warning to a hundred people.

Although Wang Xu said it lightly, Pei Jin knew in his heart that this matter was very serious and that grandfather pretended to be sick was completely correct.

Pei Jin did not show any expression and comforted Wang Xu: "Uncle Shi doesn't have to be too anxious. After all, Uncle Shi is the uncle of the Princess Chu and the uncle of the prince. How could His Highness the King of Chu give some face, but it would be punished too severely."

Even though he said this, Pei Jin knew in his heart that if he really had the face of the Princess of Chu, Wang Xu and Wang Su would not have been demoted.

The two soon came to Pei Ju's quiet room where he was recuperating. Two maids stood at the door, holding medicine bags in their hands. Pei Jin stepped forward and knocked on the door, "Grandfather, grandson brings Uncle Wang Shi."

"In... Come!" Pei Ju Cang's old and trembling voice came from the room.

"Uncle Shi!"

Pei Jin led Wang Xu into the ward and saw Pei Ju lying on the sickbed, her face as gold paper, her lips pale, her eyes were dull, and she became thin and thin. She looked like she was about to reach her end.

A maid next to him used a spoon to feed him medicine, but the medicine was poured into his mouth, but half of it flowed out from the corner of his mouth. Another maid hurriedly used a veil to wipe the soup stains on him.

Seeing this, Wang Xuxin was mostly cold and he still hoped that Pei Ju would plead with Yang Yuanqing, but in this way, he could not walk around.

Wang Xu sat next to Pei Ju, held his hand and said, "Old Master, my nephew is here to visit you."

Pei Ju slowly turned his head, looked at Wang Xu for a while, panted hard, and said in a hoarse voice: "Are you... Juer?"

Wang Xu was stunned and turned to look at Pei Jin. Pei Jin sighed, "Grandfather is already confused. He just knew that Uncle Wang was visiting. Now he forgot again. He thought it was Uncle Third who was back."

Wang Xu looked a little bit like Pei Wenju, but he didn't admit his son wrong. Moreover, he clearly called himself a nephew, so it seemed that Pei Ju was really not good.

Wang Xu smiled bitterly and shouted in Pei Ju's ear: "I am my nephew Wang Xu. Doesn't the head of my hometown know me anymore?"

Pei Ju looked at him for a while, with a bright child-like smile in her eyes, and said hard: "I... am so confused. You are not Juer, you are Shiqing, are you here from... Wenxi?"

Seeing that he couldn't recognize him, Wang Xu felt helpless, so he sighed, stood up and said to Pei Jin: "The master of his hometown is not feeling well, I'll come to visit him again next day."

Pei Jin apologized, "My grandfather was mainly sick. If he was in a little better condition, he would definitely recognize Uncle Shi. I'm really sorry today."

Wang Xu shook his head and walked out of the ward. When Wang Xu's footsteps walked away, a sneer slowly appeared on Pei Ju's face. Soon, Pei Jin and the butler walked in together.

Pei Ju had already put on her clothes, washed away the sickness on her face, returned to her normal appearance, and her eyes became deep and sharp.

"Has he left?" Pei Ju asked coldly.

"Report to grandfather, he has left."

Pei Jin replied respectfully, and he said to the butler again: "Tell the head of the family what happened."

The housekeeper hurriedly bowed and said, "Report to the Grand Master, about an hour ago, Yipin Juji Restaurant and Jinshi Restaurant were both sealed off by the soldiers of the inner guards. I heard that it was illegal to sell wine."

Pei Jin also added: "Just just now, Wang Xu himself admitted that three of the Wang family's children had already had an accident and probably had been arrested, including Wang Qi."

"You can't live without committing your own sins!"

Pei Ju sneered, waved his hand, and asked the housekeeper and maid to retreat. Only the grandparents and grandchildren were left in the room. Pei Ju picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea, and then asked Pei Jin, "Do you understand this?"

Pei Jin nodded. When he came back, he had already figured it out, "Can the King of Chu still start from the Wang family and clean up the officialdom after the Battle of Central Plains?"

"Do you think it's impossible?" Pei Ju glanced at him and asked with a smile.

"Of course, my grandson thinks that the King of Chu is taking advantage of the problem, but my grandson can't figure it out. The Wang family has long been demoted, so what value does it have? Moreover, since the King of Chu wants to expand the situation, why didn't Wang Xu arrest him? My grandson can't figure it out, so please give me advice."

Pei Ju sneered, "It's good that you can think of this, but I want to remind you that although Wang Xu was demoted, the power of the Wang family in the officialdom is still there. If I was not wrong, the King of Chu will definitely defeat the royal party in one place this time and only arrest the three members of the Wang family, which is to use them to draw out the entourage. Whoever pleads for the Wang family this time will undoubtedly die!"

Speaking of this, Pei Ju sighed slightly, "This time the attack on the Central Plains, there were a lot of opposition from the court. Behind it was the royal party members who were pushing it. I was wondering, how would the King of Chu deal with this opposition? Should he be comforted or indifferent? Now I understand that the Wang family’s ban on alcohol will probably become more and more intense, and all the ministers who oppose the attack on the Central Plains cannot escape."

Pei Jin's face turned pale and he bit his lips hard. Pei Ju was so powerful. He suddenly saw his grandson's uneasiness and was shocked, "Did you also participate in opposition?"

Pei Jin nodded nervously, "My grandson also signed the opposition book."

Pei Ju's face suddenly sank, "Why don't you tell me about this? Sign without authorization."

Pei Jin lowered his head, and after a while, he whispered: "It was Liu Xuanmao, the minister of Dali Temple, who encouraged me to sign. His grandson was a little dissatisfied with the King of Chu who insisted on fighting against the Central Plains despite the tight food in the court, so he signed the signature."

"you....."

Pei Ju was so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time. Finally, she glared at her grandson fiercely and said, "This is your old problem again, because you still look down on Yang Yuanqing in your bones. You have to participate in any things that are not good for him, right?"

"The grandson doesn't dare, but he values ​​Pei Qingsong too much, and the grandson is a little dissatisfied."

"You don't admit it yet!"

Pei Ju was furious and slapped the table and cursed: "You are frivolous, stupid, and self-righteous, and you will never repent. Our Pei family will all die at your hands!"

Pei Jin was so scared that he knelt down, "My grandson knew his mistake!"

"Knowing the wrong!"

Pei Ju pointed at him and shivered, "It's been more than ten years. When did you know your mistake? When Yuanqing married Minqiu, you opposed it and said that the legitimate daughter would not marry a concubine's son because you looked down on him in your bones. So your contempt in your bones would pop up from time to time. Do you think Yang Yuanqing didn't know? Why did he support Pei Qingsong? He didn't want you to destroy the Pei family? I was so blind. He was determined to support Changsun. You, a playboy who was not good at helping you!"

Pei Ju became more and more angry as he said, "Get out! Get out of here!"

Pei Jin was scolded to death and stood up to leave, but Pei Ju stared at him fiercely and said, "You are not willing to die, but your signature will be considered as my commander behind the scenes. How can you save this matter?"

Pei Jin said in a trembling voice: "Go to explain to him that this matter is because my grandson is confused and has nothing to do with my grandfather."

"Who is he?" Pei Ju asked sternly.

"He is His Highness, King of Chu!"

"No, who is he?" Pei Ju's voice became even more severe.

Pei Jin was almost collapsed, and he cried, "Grandfather, grandson really doesn't know."

"He is His Majesty the Emperor. You must remember in your heart that he is His Majesty the Emperor of Sui who ruled the world. He wants to kill the Pei family, just like killing an ant. Pei Yun can't come back until today. Do you know why? You idiot, think about it carefully!"

‘Pei Jin was shocked. This time he really remembered...

Pei Ju did not allow Pei Jin to ride a horse or take a car, so he asked him to walk to the Chu Palace and reflect on his stupidity on the way.

Pei Jin was really a little enlightened after his grandfather's denunciation. He also realized his stupidity. Liu Xuanmao, the minister of Dali Temple, was obviously the backbone of the royal party. He had a deep intention to sign his autograph, but he didn't realize that he was playing with Liu Xuanmao in his palm.

Pei Jin was so ashamed that he wanted to slap himself. Why was he so stupid? He remembered his second grandfather Pei Yun, who is still in Li Mi's hands. Is he unable to come back? It's not at all, it's Yang Yuanqing who doesn't allow him to come back.
