After transmigrating into the book, the prime minister always wants to farm with me.

Chapter 212 Why did you give it to me?

"Then you don't need to worry about it. Just keep your mouth shut."

After Liang Wanjin went down to prepare food for the villagers, Zhao Baoye looked at Pei Yuanjun with doubt: "Yuanjun, Liang Wanjin's concerns are not without reason. It seems that we need to send the captured people to the capital as soon as possible, otherwise things may change!"

Just then, Shi An grabbed one of the guards at Qingyun Dam: "Young Master, those guards at the dam are all assassins. When our secret guards captured them, they used sleeping powder to knock them unconscious before they were captured, and then they removed all the poison from their mouths."

"And this is a message they sent to the capital that was intercepted by the secret guards."

Zhao Baoye: "..."

Pei Yuanjun took the small bamboo tube and opened the sealed wax.

A small note was poured out, which read: "My lord, things have changed, and Qingyun has been exposed."

Then I opened more than a dozen images, all with the same content.

Pei Yuanjun handed the notes to Zhao Baoye and said seriously, "Brother Baoye, I'll trouble you to send these back to the Emperor this time."

"Me?" Zhao Baoye pointed at himself in disbelief.

Pei Yuanjun's indifferent expression carried a hint of coldness; in his past life, that bastard had always been fond of that bitch Qi Yulu.

Pei Yuanjun's tone grew even colder: "I don't trust anyone else to take them to the capital. This is a golden opportunity for the Emperor to eliminate the Grand General of the State. In addition, the evidence I've gathered of the Grand General's treason is enough to make you a great hero when you hand it over to the Emperor. But the prerequisite is that you can bring them back to the capital alive!"

"Isn't this your achievement? Why are you giving it to me?"

Pei Yuanjun turned his head and saw the darkness in his eyes was so thick it couldn't be dissolved, and a fierce anger was rising in his heart.

A chill suddenly ran through Zhao Baoye's heart. What was wrong with Pei Yuanjun? Why did his expression turn so frighteningly cold?

After a long pause, he said to Zhao Baoye, "Isn't this what the old Marquis has always hoped for you? I am already the Prime Minister, and I have saved the Emperor's life. If I were to bring down the General Who Protects the Nation, what do you think the Emperor should use to reward me?"

Zhao Baoye understood Pei Yuanjun's meaning after hearing his words, and looked at him with a complicated expression! So this was what his father meant when he told him to learn more from Pei Yuanjun. Pei Yuanjun always managed to make a clear and accurate judgment about the most advantageous choice for himself amidst enormous temptations and benefits.

He already enjoys immense favor, and three years ago he also saved the emperor's life.

If he takes credit for bringing down the Grand General of the State, then once the Grand General falls, these achievements will become Pei Yuanjun's death warrant, and the next emperor will target him.

Zhao Baoye clasped his hands in respect and said, "Lord Yuan, the Zhao family has no way to repay your kindness. If there is anything the Zhao family can do for you in the future, the Zhao family will do its duty without hesitation." Concerning the future and honor of the family, Zhao Baoye also put away his joking face and said seriously.

Pei Yuanjun watched Zhao Baoye walk away, his expression inscrutable.

Shi An stepped forward, somewhat unwillingly asking Pei Yuanjun, "Young Master, that evidence was obtained at the cost of many secret guards. How could you so easily give it to Young Master Zhao? If you take this evidence back, the Emperor will surely..."

"What? Make me a marquis and a prime minister?" Pei Yuanjun suddenly turned around and said coldly.

Shi Anyu was speechless. His young master was already the prime minister, a position second only to the emperor.

"What does the young master mean?" Shi An also calmed down. The young master always acts with discretion and would never do anything useless.

"The Emperor favors and relies on me because I can keep the Grand General Mu Yifeng in check. If Mu Yifeng falls from power, who can stand against me? The Emperor will not allow that to happen!"

Unless he can control all his thoughts, and make him do whatever he wants!
His eyes grew darker and darker, chilling everyone to the bone. A cold, sarcastic smile curled at the corner of his lips.
