Chapter 420 Just Let Him Vent His Anger

Bringing their family members to the government office, Xiao Si'er and Hu San San generously ordered the people brought by Master Pei Wu to disassemble them and salute them, while Cui Pu quietly sneaked into Mu Jiaojiao's side.

Mu Jiaojiao looked at him speechlessly: "Master Pei Wu and the others are still waiting outside?"

"Yeah, I said that I want to watch people put my books, so I'll put them in front for a while. After the place is cleaned up, I'll go to see them, and we'll go to Wei's Restaurant for dinner together." Cui Pu smiled. the way.

Mu Jiaojiao shook his head. "I've never seen you treat guests like this. You're new here, so you don't pay attention to local snakes."

"Cut, what kind of local snake is he? If you want to say that the local snake is almost his father! No matter how bad it is, his elder brother is fine!" Cui Pu curled his lips disdainfully, "And the housekeeper, who knew it was the Economic and Strategic Envoy's Mansion Is it a fourth-class or fifth-class thing? How dare you come to me and put on a show, do you really think I am stupid? Don’t you know what kind of style the big housekeeper in the old man’s house used to be? As for the group of gentry, it’s even more ridiculous, that’s all. I can only come here to cheer him up. This group of people want to trick me into handing me over to them? I haven’t given an explanation to the people in the Zhuhai Post House yet!”

Mu Jiaojiao deeply agrees with his statement.

This master Pei Wu is indeed not authentic.Just set up such a glamorous Longmen formation, just to trick them into handing over Mr. Pei Jiulang obediently.If they really believed it, they would never be able to hold their heads up in the whole of Lingnan!

"Like a father, like a son. A son is an idiot, and a father is not much better." Cui Pu couldn't help complaining.

Mu Jiaojiao quickly covered his mouth. "Be careful, beware that walls have ears."

"So what if I have ears? Who is afraid of whom? If they dare to sell me, I'll sell them all, and spend money to buy new ones!" Cui Pu didn't care.

He really is getting more and more arrogant.This imposing manner is far behind Master Pei Wu.

The eldest lady watched from the side, and quickly gave a thumbs up: "Father is awesome!"

"That's it. You have to remember, big lady. No matter who you meet in the future, you have to remember that you are the lady of the Boling Cui family, the head of Hanoi county proclaimed by the saint. If anyone looks down on you, you don't have to." Please him. In the end, it’s not certain who wants to please!” Cui Pu immediately began to indoctrinate his daughter.

The eldest lady nodded quickly, and wrote it down solemnly.

Mu Jiaojiao couldn't stand it any longer, and immediately kicked him out.

Cui Pu is very sad.While walking out, he said: "Hey, you are getting more and more fierce now, more and more fierce!"

If I hadn't been fierce, I wouldn't have known how lawless you would be!Mu Jiaojiao thought about it angrily, and shouted at him again: "Hurry up and leave!"

"Isn't this the way to go?" Cui Pu whispered, moving both feet out of the door.

As a newcomer, Mu Jiaojiao naturally has to be busy tidying up all the houses, getting to know the maids and women in the mansion, and so on.This busy two or three days more than.

When Cui Pu arrived at the front, he was immediately dragged out by Master Pei Wu and his party.At the banquet, the group of people took turns pouring wine for Cui Pu, and then induced Cui Pu to release Mr. Pei Jiulang by talking inside and outside.

Cui Pu drank as much as he wanted, ate as much as he wanted, and kept chatting with them.But as for releasing Pei Jiu?He didn't hear it!

After a meal, he was full of wine and food, and he sat crookedly in a sedan chair and went back to the government office. The group of Mr. Pei Wu and his group were sad and depressed to the extreme.

"Fifth Master, it's not okay to go on like this! This new magistrate is obviously not going to be soft and hard, and we have nothing to do with him." Someone whispered, "Otherwise, let the old man do the trick!"

"If the old man can do it, why should I ask you to help?" Pei Wu said angrily.

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

After a long time, someone suggested: "Why don't we go back first, and then think of other ways! I don't believe that the three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. With so many of us, we still can't play with him, a newcomer! "

The others nodded in agreement.

Speaking of which, Cui Pu's age was really beyond their expectations.Originally thought that this is already his second prefect, and now he is also serving as the city ship envoy, this person should be quite old.In the end, when they saw Cui Pu's face, they were all stunned.When asked about his age at the banquet, Cui Pu was only 28 years old, not yet thirty!Many of these people have sons who are about the same age as Cui Pu. Thinking about their son's virtue of accomplishing nothing, and seeing Cui Pu's well-founded and neither humble nor overbearing behavior, they cannot be dissatisfied.

He has reached this position at a young age, which shows how powerful he is.

Looking at his performances against Master Pei Wu today, everyone sighed inwardly that this new magistrate is unusual!Mr. Pei Jiulang kicked a piece of iron this time, I'm afraid this matter will not be good in the future!
However, they dare not say this, and now they can only persuade Master Pei Wu in vain.

Why doesn't Master Pei Wu understand this truth in his heart?He's not smart, but he's not stupid either.Cui Pu's performance today clearly intends to pursue the matter to the end.And if I didn't let him back down with this blatant blow today, it will be even more difficult to make him bow his head again in the future!

Waving his hand, he said weakly: "Forget it, let's stop here today! You all go back, let's get together another day, and think of other ways."

Everyone said their goodbyes, and Mr. Pei Wu also rode his horse and walked slowly to Jinglueshi's mansion.

Now he has long lost the momentum of going to the city gate to meet Cui Pu in the morning, he just hangs his head, whipping his whip again and again, letting the horse walk forward.

After finally returning to the mansion, he got off his horse and planned to go back to his room for a good night's sleep, but the housekeeper suddenly appeared.

"Fifth Master, the old master told you to go over."

Master Pei Wu immediately trembled!
"Is Dad still asleep? What is he asking me to do at this time? What happened in the house?"

"The old man has been waiting for you to come back, fifth master." The big butler only said.

Master Pei Wu trembled even more violently.

The big housekeeper told him clearly - the old man knew what he was doing today, and it is very likely that he even knew the ending of the matter!Now that he told him to come over, did he intend to beat him or scold him?

However, no matter how frightened he was, he followed the housekeeper obediently to Pei Jinglue's bedroom.

The butler only took him to the door and opened it for him: "Master Fifth, please come in!"

Master Pei Wu nodded, then stepped in tremblingly.

It is now the second watch time.Pei Jinglue only lit a few candles in the room, barely able to illuminate the path.The dim yellow light projected made the room even more eerie, making Mr. Pei Wu feel goosebumps all over his body.

He carefully searched the direction of Pei Jinglue, and whispered in his mouth: "Daddy, my son is here. Daddy, where are you?"

"Finally home?"

The low and old voice suddenly sounded, making him tremble again, his feet almost jumped off the ground.

Quickly looking over there, he managed to squeeze out a smiling face: "Father, my son is back."

"Today you brought so many people to deal with the new magistrate, what's the final outcome?" Envoy Pei Jinglue asked him with his back turned.

Master Pei Wu blushed and bowed his head in silence.

Envoy Pei Jinglue sneered: "We lost again, didn't we?"

"……Yes."

Only then did Pei Jinglue turn around, and a pair of old but still bright eyes stared at him coldly: "I told you earlier, don't bother with this matter anymore. You just refused to listen. Now, you are satisfied with embarrassing yourself in public? "

Master Pei Wu was so ashamed that he wanted to dig a hole in the ground and get in. "I'm wrong, I've embarrassed you, Father."

"You don't lose my face, you can only lose your own face!" Pei Jinglue shouted.

Master Pei Wu choked again.

Envoy Pei Jinglue snorted coldly again: "Why, are you planning to let me take your words, and then turn the conversation to the new magistrate who will ignore our Pei family, and then encourage me to help you out? "

Master Pei Wu's head almost dropped to his chest.

"Confused! Stupid!" Envoy Pei Jinglue yelled, "What is the nature of this new magistrate and what is his origin? You dare to come to the door to find trouble before you figure it out. Now you have been tricked by others. It is purely your own fault! You You deserve it! I won’t help you carry this blame, and I have asked the steward to tell the whole clan to hold back for now and stop conflicting with the new magistrate.”

Master Pei Wu suddenly saw something.

For Pei Jinglue to say this, he cut off his last way to ask for help, and he was determined to see their father and son humiliated to the end!
"Father, do you want to watch Jiulang being tortured to death by the new magistrate? He is your own grandson!" He yelled weakly.

"Because Jiulang is my grandson, I didn't intervene. Believe it or not, the more our Pei family interferes in this matter, the worse the consequences will be, and the more people will be ashamed!"

Master Pei Wu was startled, Pei Jing slightly shook his head, grabbed a piece of information and threw it to him. "Let's see what the new magistrate has done before."

Master Pei Wu quickly picked it up and watched it.The indoor light was not good, and he had a hard time seeing.However, after turning over a page or two, his attention was attracted by the news on the paper, and he couldn't care about the problem of light or not.

After reading all the materials with the effort of a cup of tea, his complexion was more than pale.

"This new magistrate, he actually... actually..."

"Isn't he so bold?" Pei Jinglue replied, "Yes, he is such a person. He is lawless, he does whatever he wants, and he is best at using small things to make big things. His immediate boss, as long as he disagrees with him, he will eventually be punished by him. Get off the horse. Even Concubine Wu Hui and Li Linfu were able to stumble in his hands. Who do you think is more powerful than the concubine who has been loved by the saint for many years and the official secretary of the court? ?”

Master Pei Wu's knees softened immediately, and he knelt down with a plop.

"Father, my son was wrong!"

"It's not too late to know what's wrong." Pei Jinglue said casually.

When Master Pei Wu heard it, he felt that there was still something to be done? "Father, what do you mean by that?"

"You, use your brain more in everything, don't think about those ghost ideas all day long, I won't keep you by my side, and you don't have to envy your brothers and their scenery outside every day." Pei Jinglue The envoy sighed, "Just think about it, and you will know what crimes the new magistrate imposed on Jiulang."

"Didn't he say that Jiulang is a habitual offender, and he wants to use the name of the new magistrate to rent out the house in the post house for profit?" Master Pei Wu whispered.He also used this to make a fuss, trying to trick Cui Pu into returning his son.but failed.

"Did he mention me, you, and Pei's family in this matter?"

"No."

"Since that's the case, why do you have to put your face close to him and hit him?"

ah?Master Pei Wu's poor mind will not be able to turn around for a while.

Envoy Pei Jinglue sighed again: "The new magistrate's conviction of Jiulang means that he is determined to restrict the matter to Jiulang alone and not implicate others. Moreover, he did not dig out Jiulang's identity, let alone publicize the matter. Tell the people clearly that he will punish Jiulang severely. If you treat him as him, you really don’t know who Jiulang is? If it were you, before you took office, someone would ruin your reputation everywhere. Are you not angry? You don’t want to put this person Cut to pieces? He just wanted to take such a bad breath on Jiulang, which is enough to give me face!"

"Ah!" Master Pei Wu finally came to his senses, and his old face became even more ashamed.

Envoy Pei Jinglue shook his head again and sighed: "So right now, none of us move, just let him vent his anger. When he calms down, we will go to bring Jiulang back, and this matter will be handled easily."

Master Pei Wu nodded quickly. "Yes, everything is according to Dad!"

"Okay, you go back and rest! Stay at the house these days, don't vent your anger and see your cronies." Pei Jing said again, with deep disgust in his tone.

Master Pei Wu nodded repeatedly, turned around and ran away.

When his son left, Pei Jinglue picked up the stack of papers again, flipped through them, and sighed: "Cui Pu... the new magistrate... I must meet him."
