Talk about the world of mortals in detail

"Cough cough cough cough."

Amid the coughing, the smoke continued to rise. Pei Changtian, who had changed his surname, was personally taking care of the medicine stove.

When the heat is almost done, the concoction in the medicine jar is poured into two small bowls and placed on a square table in the room to cool down.

This is a house in Luling County. The yard is not big, but it is kept very neatly and there are some vegetables growing on the edge.

After cleaning up the medicine stove, Pei Changtian scooped up a basin of hot water from the kitchen, returned to the big house and took it to the inner hall. There was a sick man on a big bed here.

The patient on the bed looked very old, with his eyes closed and motionless, as if he was in a coma more than sleeping.

Pei Changtian untied the patient's clothes and wiped the patient's body bit by bit with a hot cloth filled with water in a basin. He cleaned the patient's body bit by bit, from face to hands, from chest to back, from arms to armpits, and even some private areas.

During this period, Pei Changtian occasionally couldn't help coughing, but he tried to maintain restraint.

After the cleaning was completed, Pei Changtian came out with the turbid water basin. The medicine bowl on the table was still steaming, and footsteps could be heard in the yard.

"Sir!" "Sir, we are here!"

"Master!"

"Uncles and elders, please come in quickly!"

Pei Changtian had a smile on his face. As he spoke, he poured the water in the basin and welcomed the next few people into the main room.

"Let's take a look at the gang leader first!" "Yes, I haven't seen him for a long time!"

"Dad is still like that. He spends a lot of time unconscious and less time awake."

Several people went into the back room to look at the person on the bed, and then went outside together. After a while, five people, including Pei Changtian himself, sat down around the eight-person square table.

"Tell me, sir, why did you call us here?" "Yes, sir, tell us, we will listen!"

After talking about some family affairs, Pei Changtian also said some things on his mind.

The hot air in the medicine bowl snakes upwards, just like everyone's ups and downs of mood.

"Sir, are you saying that you want to contact the imperial court?"

"Ahem."

Pei Changtian covered his mouth and coughed softly, shaking his head with a smile.

"Although it's not exact, it can be said that way."

"But we are prisoners of the imperial court, so why do we do this? If our identity is discovered, we will be killed, and the comfort of these years will no longer exist."

"Yes, sir, we know you are resourceful, but this matter, this"

The old man surnamed Yu gently patted the table to silence everyone. He looked at Pei Changtian, who always looked calm except for the occasional cough.

"Sir, please tell me what you haven't said. To be honest, even if you want to contact the imperial court, Master Chu is not qualified!"

Pei Changtian smiled while holding back his cough.

"That seems to be the case, then who is qualified?"

"Zou Jie, the Commander-in-Chief of the Northwest, is a man who can speak well in both military and political affairs. He has a high position and is deeply trusted by the emperor. If you want to contact him, you must contact him!"

Pei Changtian's smile did not change and he nodded.

"Indeed, Governor Zou is quite important, but"

Pei Changtian pointed at his nose.

"In the eyes of Governor Zou, who do we think we are? What qualifications do we have to appear in front of him?"

"We don't know what kind of person he is and whether he can listen to his words. We don't know the details. The commander-in-chief of the army has thousands of troops. We are afraid that no one can see us and we will be surrounded and killed by the army. Got it!"

Pei Changtian shook his head slightly.

"We should not think too highly of ourselves, nor should we underestimate Mr. Chu too much. I chatted with him for a while, and he didn't feel decadent even though he was an official here. There was an extraordinary spirit in his conversation. With the current emperor, Yes, it is impossible to waste such a talent, he must be doing something big, either in the northwest or somewhere else."

"But he can make the court let us go?"

Pei Changtian coughed lightly.

"I still said what I said back then, we are not qualified to make the court hate us, we are just victims involved in the salt case."

At this moment, Pei Changtian's longing that had been suppressed for many years was rekindled. In fact, he was a little excited inside, but on the surface he was unhurried. He wanted to convince these elders.

So Pei Changtian continued to talk patiently.

"You may have forgotten what I said back then, but it is all true now. Wuzhou's official administration was corrupted more than ten years ago. In fact, this is a microcosm of Dayong as a whole. The emperor needs to use thunderous means to shock the world. Back then, he was killing chickens to scare the monkeys."

"The investigation was very strict after that, but after I escaped the golden cicada and drew attention, the court actually did not kill us. In other words, in the eyes of the emperor, it doesn't really matter whether we die or not. As long as he achieves his goal, That’s all, doesn’t he know that we were involved by corrupt officials? He knows.”

Some of these words were said back then, and some are only revealed now.

As Pei Changtian narrated, the people at the table were angry and helpless.

"Actually, we have been free in these years. If your uncles and family members don't want to get involved, the younger generation will understand. After making the decision, we will not contact you again!"

As soon as Pei Changtian said this, several people around him looked shocked.

"Young Master." "Young Master."

Pei Changtian said seriously after coughing a few times.

"I, Pei Changtian, can't guarantee anything else, but if I really make a mistake in my bet, I will never implicate you all. In fact, I don't want everyone to be involved, so that someone can take my father away and let me. "

When Pei Changtian finished speaking, he was interrupted by a "bang" in the back room. He immediately stood up and rushed inside, and the rest of the people quickly followed.

"Dad! How are you doing, Dad?"

Pei Changtian rushed to the back room. The person on the bed had already fallen under the bed. When he saw his son coming to help him, the old man grabbed his arm.

"Gang leader?" "Gang leader!" "Gang leader, are you awake?"

"Great, the gang leader finally woke up!"

With beads of sweat on his face, the old man looked up at the old brothers, and finally looked at his son.

"Tian'er, actually dad."

"Dad, you don't need to say more or persuade me. My son doesn't want to live in the shadows his whole life."

"Tian'er."

The old gang leader had tears in his eyes, but Pei Changtian always had a smile on his face, but his eyes were somewhat glistening. In fact, he knew that his father would pretend to be unconscious many times, especially when he was helping to wipe his body.

"Dad's one-time mistake back then ruined your life. Dad, I believe in you. I beg you old brothers Pei to have some respect and trust Tian'er again."

"Gang leader, you are serious!" "Gang leader, please get up quickly!"

"Dad! Don't force uncle on this matter. You should take a rest first! Uncle Yan, help me bring the medicine."

"well!"

After comforting, drinking medicine, and settling the patient again, several people inevitably returned to the heavy topics before, but after this heavy topic, Pei Changtian's words became lighter.

After all, Chu Hang is not a big shot in the imperial court now, and it is impossible for Pei Changtian to directly reveal his identity as the "remnant of the Sky Whale Gang". Naturally, he has gradually come into contact with him. If something cannot be done, of course there is room for retreat.

With Pei Changtian's sharp tongue, it was obvious that several people were moved, and the two former hall masters, Yu and Yan, expressed their intention to follow him.

Soon everyone dispersed, leaving only Pei Changtian sitting in the hall. He looked outside the room and then at the medicine bowl on the table. After coughing a few times, he picked up the medicine bowl and drank the medicine bit by bit.

Pei Changtian was not in a hurry to swallow it, but felt the churning bitter taste.

After so many years, I have led many people to escape danger, but my martial arts skills are obviously good, but my health is deteriorating.

Maybe he treated many gang members as abandoned children, maybe he plotted against too many people in order for Jin Chan to escape from his shell, maybe this is retribution for himself, maybe his life will wither in his prime.

But I am so unwilling! How unwilling!

I could have shown my talents, I could have made a name for myself, I could have been carefree, I could have been full of ambitions, even if I was in the imperial examination, I would still be on the gold list!

I also want to go to the Yuezhou Martial Arts Conference, a grand martial arts event that I personally promote with my own strength. I also want to be on stage and be the hero of the world!

"Clark la la la."

Pei Changtian pressed the table with one hand and held the bowl tightly with the other.

"Click~"

The porcelain bowl was directly crushed into a hole.

"Hoo"

Over the years, no matter how many people in the Sky Whale Gang were unwilling to give in, none of them were as unwilling as Pei Changtian.

Whether he is flustered or unwilling at times, Pei Changtian never shows it, he always looks calm and collected!

People like Pei Changtian have a clear view of a series of events such as the Wuzhou Salt Case. Even some things that were unclear back then have gradually become clear after so many years.

Being an upright person and changing your family name in the sunshine is not without hope. What is lacking is opportunity!

"Ho, ho, ho"

Pei Changtian let go of his hand and put the broken pieces of the porcelain bowl on the table. With his other hand, a palm print was silently embedded on the wooden table.

Chu Hang was definitely not "assigned" by the emperor. After just hearing a long conversation, Pei Changtian had this firm idea in his heart.

Today's Emperor Dayong is a rare wise king in all dynasties. He must have a deep meaning in sending Chu Hang here. Even if it is just for training, it will be a springboard for the future.

Chu Hang was short of manpower and eyesight here, so his eyesight was completely dark. This was also the beginning of his official career.

If the emperor had deep intentions, what would Chu Hang do? If it is just a springboard, how can he make political achievements?

Pei Changtian didn't think about it before, but now he can't help but think about it from a perspective relatively close to Chu Hang, leaving the local area, Luling County, and even Beicang Prefecture.

Pei Changtian's eyes gradually brightened. He didn't understand the way of being an official, and perhaps he didn't understand the court's plans, but because he had to use all means to survive these years, he understood the market, the world, and the complicated environment and situation in the northwest.
