The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Dungeon? What's wrong with the dungeon?" The people around him were puzzled.

Yes, wouldn't it be enough to just put them in the dungeon for a while?

"There should be a dungeon in this house, but where is the dungeon?" The leading Hundred Riders said, "This was once the residence of Yu Wenzhi, there is absolutely no way there is no dungeon!"

After saying that, the leading Hundred Riders directly raised his knife and slashed the arm of the Pei family member in front of him, and blood appeared in an instant.

"You bastard, you're still not honest even at this critical moment."

Then, he turned around and said to the people around him: "Go, tell the brothers to prepare to scrape the wall. I don't believe that we can't find anything. In addition, every blade of grass and every brick and stone in the back garden must be carefully checked, and even the ground in the yard must be checked!"

"Yes."

"Sir, you have already searched the entire Pei family mansion twice. Why go to such great lengths?" Pei Ji smiled and said: "Although I have been an official in the court for many years and received many rewards from the emperor, the Pei family is not only large and powerful, but also has many people. To support such a large family, the expenses are not a small amount. Is there anything wrong with the account?"

The master of the Chang'an government office is now checking the account book in the Pei family's account office.

"Of course, nothing can be seen in the accounts."

"But, if this house doesn't have a dungeon or something, it would be abnormal."

Pei Ji was puzzled as to why he was so sure.

"My Pei family is innocent, why do we need a dungeon?"

"That's hard to say. The Pei family doesn't need it, but Yu Wenzhi does." The leader of the Hundred Riders said, "If there is no dungeon in Yu Wenzhi's house, no one would believe it no matter how hard you try."

"Prime Minister Pei was an official in the same dynasty as Yu Wenzhi. He knows what kind of person Yu Wenzhi is much better than me. The frivolous young man back then was famous."

The four words "frivolous young man" are not a compliment to Yu Wenzhi.

At the beginning, his father Yuwen Shu was the general of the Left Guard and held military power. Yuwen Huaji relied on his father's power to do whatever he wanted, disobey the law, be greedy and arrogant, and often led people riding tall horses, holding bows and bullets, and galloping wildly on the Chang'an Road. Therefore, he was called "the frivolous prince" by the people of Chang'an.

Yuwen Huaji was extremely cruel and insidious. Relying on his good relationship with Yang Guang, who was still the prince at the time, he accepted bribes many times and was dismissed from office many times because of this. However, Yang Guang doted on him and restored him to his original position every time he was dismissed.

Later, Yuwen Huaji's younger brother Yuwen Shiji married Princess Nanyang, the eldest daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui, and suddenly became a royal relative. He became even more arrogant and looked down on everyone. In his interactions with officials in the court, many officials were insulted by him.

Yuwen Huaji was a vengeful person. I don't know how many people died in his hands. How could such a person keep his house clean?

Absolutely impossible.

The people of the Hundred Cavalry Division took their tools and began to check every inch of the house.

Pei Ji saw that the leader in front of him was unmovable, so he stopped talking and lowered his head, making it difficult for people to see the expression on his face.

In the house, all the wall paint was scraped off, and the floor tiles in the back garden were also lifted up.

Listen carefully to the ground.

Two more people went down to the bottom of the lake and checked inch by inch.

The rockery in the garden and the stones were also removed piece by piece for inspection.

When the rockery was half removed, something unusual was found.

The people of the Hundred Cavalry Division quickly came to the front yard.

"Boss, we found something when the rockery was half removed." The people of the Hundred Cavalry Division said with a bow.

The leader of the Hundred Cavalry Division took a look at the people of the Pei family.

Then he said to the officers and bad people of the Chang'an government office: "Keep these people under control. Anyone who dares to move will be killed without mercy."

"Yes." Everyone bowed in response.

The people of the Hundred Cavalry Division really found something!

The Pei family hid it very well.

However, the people of the Hundred Cavalry Division are really amazing. Just because this house was once the residence of Yu Wenzhi, they can infer so much...

The Hundred Cavalry Division is full of capable people.

Seeing the leader of the Hundred Cavalry Division leading people to the backyard, Pei Ji's face was dejected.

Most people in the Pei family don't know the secret of this house. Only he and a few others know it. They don't go there often on weekdays.

"Dad." Pei Ji's other son moved to Pei Ji's side.

When the people in the Chang'an government office saw him move, their eyes were all fixed on him.

"Be honest."

"I just want to talk to my dad."

"Let them go." Pei Ji said: "There is always a way out, even if weThe family is in decline, but the Hedong Pei family is not."

They will not die.

The people of the Hundred Riders Division surrounded the rockery.

"Boss, we found something wrong when we were halfway through the demolition, but we really can't move this side."

"Is there a mechanism?"

"We haven't found it yet, but it's unlikely that the people of the Pei family can tell us."

"Then there's no need for them to tell us. Think of a way to demolish this place. I don't believe that it won't leak out after demolishing everything. The whole rockery, all demolished. If there are not enough people, find someone." The person in the head of the Hundred Riders Division said: "Go and dispatch people, or surround the entire Pei family mansion. No one is allowed to enter or leave without permission. Let the Chang'an government take all the people of the Pei family back and put them in the dungeon first. Have someone in the cell guard them day and night. When they enter the cell, every word they say must be recorded."

"Yes. "

The next big project is going to be a big one. It's not appropriate to let the Pei family sit in the front yard. Let's just find a good place for them.

While they were busy here, the news was reported.

Li Shimin listened to Li Wu's report.

"Li Wu, take a group of people to the Pei family mansion and guard it in person." Li Shimin said, "No matter whether there is anything or what is found, all the news must not be leaked."

"Yes." Li Wu bowed his hands in response.

"If the Baiqi Division is not enough, call on the imperial guards in the palace." Li Shimin added, "If we find something in the Pei family this time, send it directly to the palace, and don't let anyone handle it in the middle."

"I understand."

"While searching the Pei family, the Baiqi Division people hiding in the dark in Chang'an City should pay more attention to the movements of other families, especially those who have dealings with the Pei family on weekdays. "Li Shimin said: "We must also pay attention to their every move, and keep the news from Chang'an City to Guangzhou along the way."

"Yes, I will arrange it right away."

Things that you dare not do in Chang'an City may become bolder after leaving Chang'an.
