squeamish bag [rebirth]

Xiao Dingguo's expression changed drastically when he heard the words. He glanced coldly at Yan Qinghe, and then asked Pang Huan with a smile on his face: "Pang Da, who is this?"

Pang Huan's heart tightened, and he tried to calm down and said, "This is my servant!"

"Heh, a boy dares to talk to me like that. Pang Dao really knows how to teach servants!" Xiao Dingguo's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said coldly: "Pang Dao, you said that I robbed food and grass, let's not talk about the evidence. Tell me about my motives, what reason do I have to rob food and grass?"

"Food and grass are related to the life and death of soldiers at the frontier. Stealing food and grass will not only ruin the lives of the soldiers, but also the territory of the border... This crime is comparable to the crime of treason. I am a dignitary, why should I take this risk? To rob food and grass?"

"Of course it's for revenge!" Before Pang Huan could speak, the servant--Yan Qinghe said first: "In addition to the soldiers at the border, General Lou led the Lou's army to the border to rescue and rescue. Food and grass were not available, not only at the border. If the army is in danger, even General Lou and the Lou family's army will be in a huge crisis!"

"I heard that you and General Lou's father, General Dingguo, have had a grudge for a long time. General Dingguo is no longer alive. If you can't vent your resentment, you can only transfer it to others, such as... General Dingguo's only son, Lou Jing. body!"

"General Dingguo robbed you of your glory, took away your military achievements, and made you an unknown prince for the rest of your life. You must be very aggrieved! Seeing Lou Jing's great military achievements, and the brilliance of General Dingguo , and his prestige in the hearts of the common people has deepened, do you hate him even more? These honors should belong to you..."

When Yan Qinghe first talked about Lou Jing's father, Xiao Dingguo could still listen without changing his face, but the more he talked, especially after many of his words hit his mind sharply, his rationality gradually faded away. , Emotions gradually came up.

When he heard Yan Qinghe's last sentence, the dissatisfaction and resentment in his heart suddenly reached the peak.

"Yes, these honors originally belonged to me, but they were snatched away by that Lou! Obviously he didn't fight back the enemy army alone, and obviously I also put in a lot of effort. Why did he take all the military achievements alone? gone?"

"Heh, General Dingguo? Anbang Dingguo, this title should belong to me, Xiao Dingguo!" Xiao Dingguo's eyes turned red, and his expression became crazy.

Yan Qinghe hurriedly said: "Yes! Lou stole your title, your glory, your prestige... He stole these, but died early, you are full of hatred but you don't even have an enemy. I can't find it, but his son is famous again, and both father and son have become generals with great military exploits, which is ridiculous..."

Xiao Dingguo echoed with great sadness and joy: "Yes, ridiculous, this is too ridiculous!"

Yan Qinghe changed the subject, "As the saying goes, a father's debt is repaid by the son, and what Lou owes to you should be repaid by his own son, Lou Jing. He owes you so much, and Lou Jing alone can't pay it back." , it is enough to add a Lou family army!"

"That's right! It's too cheap for them to die for Lou Jing alone. Isn't Lou the most cherished Lou family army? I'll let his own son and his most cherished Lou family army be buried for him together! "When Xiao Dingguo spoke, his chest was still shaking violently, and his eyes were full of crazy excitement.

Yan Qinghe's expression was no longer as angry as before, he chuckled and said slowly: "To deal with Lou Jing and Lou's army, this is your motive for robbing food and grass, isn't it?"

Xiao Dingguo: "..."

"Are you provoking me?" Xiao Dingguo glared at Yan Qinghe angrily, raising his palms high.

Pang Xie hurriedly stood in the middle, and said, "Xiao Dingguo, you have already revealed your motive with your own mouth, so why don't you plead guilty now?"

"Confession? Heh, so what if I really robbed the grain and grass? I pleaded guilty, what can you do to me?" Xiao Dingguo closed his palm, looking at ease.

Hearing that Xiao Dingguo was willing to admit it, Pang Huan was overjoyed, but he said with a serious face: "I will report this matter to the emperor immediately..."

"Report to the emperor?" Xiao Dingguo laughed. He pointed at one side and said mockingly: "Okay, you go and report to the emperor, and I will also report to the emperor by the way. The matter of food and grass was robbed by the two of you..."

Pang Huan retorted angrily: "You are talking nonsense!"

"I'm talking nonsense, but who can prove that I'm talking nonsense? Hahaha, Pang Da, don't forget that you are also at fault for the grain and grass. If you didn't deliberately delay the grain and grass, how could I have the opportunity to rob the grain and grass? Tell the emperor If I stole the grain and grass, then I can say that you and I conspired to steal the grain and grass, but it just came out, and if you want to be alone, push me out to take the blame!"

"You..." Pang Huan never thought that Xiao Dingguo would be so despicable and shameless.

Xiao Dingguo smiled slightly, patted Pang Huan on the shoulder, and persuaded: "Pang Pang, there are some things here. It's better for you to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Don't make a mess, it's not good for you and me!"

"Pang Pang's position as Minister of the Ministry of Officials is hard-won, but don't lose your official position just because of a trivial matter, you are still dead! If you die, the Pang family will count on your useless son, and I am afraid that it will be soon. The Hui family is in decline, and the end of the road!" Xiao Dingguo beat around the bush and scolded Pang Xie again.

Pang Huan's face was red with anger, his neck was thick, and his body was shaking.

But Xiao Dingguo said directly: "Pang Da, the person at the border is left to you to deal with. You have to think clearly about how to deal with it. Don't be confused for a while and ruin others and yourself!"

Pang Huan didn't speak, just looked at Yan Qinghe.

The play has reached this point, can it be stopped?

Yan Qinghe nodded calmly.

What they want to know, they know now, and they are going to retreat now.

Pang Huan understood, he deliberately snorted, and said angrily to Xiao Dingguo: "I have a definite idea in my mind, I don't need you to teach me, let's go!"

As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

Xiao Dingguo suddenly stopped him: "Pang Dao, wait..."

Pang Huan's heart skipped a beat, he turned his head slowly, suppressed his nervousness and looked at Xiao Dingguo, "What else do you want to do?"

"It's nothing..." Xiao Dingguo looked polite, but turned his eyes to Yan Qinghe, "Pang Daren, I'm very interested in you, young man, I wonder if you can leave this young man to me?"

"Impossible!" Pang Huan rejected Xiao Dingguo without thinking.

Xiao Dingguo narrowed his eyes, and warned in a deep voice: "A huge man, those who know the current affairs are outstanding!"

"My boy, why should I give it to you! No!" While talking with his neck stuck, Pang Huan pulled Yan Qinghe behind him, fearing that Yan Qinghe would be hurt.

Xiao Dingguo snorted coldly, "It's just a little servant, thanks to your attention!"

Pang Huan stared at Xiao Dingguo without speaking.

Xiao Dingguo was quite helpless, he glanced at Yan Qinghe, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "He knows too many things, if he is left alive, there will be endless disasters, it is better... I will directly kill him Killed!"

As Xiao Dingguo said, he drew out a sword and pointed it straight at Yan Qinghe.

Pang Huan immediately said: "This boy is the son of my Pang family, absolutely loyal!"

"Tsk..." Xiao Dingguo didn't expect that Pang Huan would protect a servant like this.

It's just a servant with a cheap life——

A flash of light flashed in Xiao Dingguo's mind, he suddenly raised his head as if thinking of something, looked carefully at Yan Qinghe, and then at Pang Huan.

Pang Huan: "..."

Yan Qinghe: "..."

Under the cautious expressions of the two, he paused every word: "This boy, can't he be your illegitimate child?"

With a bang, Pang Huan felt a surge of blood rushing to his head, and his whole body was terribly shocked.

This old man who is not ashamed actually slanders himself so much!

Pang Huan was so angry that he pointed at Xiao Dingguo with trembling fingers and was about to curse: "You..."

However, before he could swear, he was stopped by Yan Qinghe halfway, "You are right! I am indeed the master's illegitimate son, but no one knows about it, and I hope Duke Xiao can keep it a secret!"

While talking, Yan Qinghe grabbed Pang Huan's sleeve affectionately, as if supporting him.

Secretly, he tugged at Pang Huan's sleeve, signaling Pang Huan not to refute.

Pang Huan opened his mouth, and finally lowered his head in embarrassment, hiding his speechlessness.

In Xiao Dingguo's eyes, this turned out to be him exposing Pang Huan's identity as an illegitimate child to his face. Pang Huan was so embarrassed that he didn't even dare to face himself.

"Hahaha..." Xiao Dingguo laughed loudly. He looked at Pang Huan with a smile that was not a smile, and said with a mocking smile: "Pang Pang, don't worry, we are both grasshoppers tied to the same rope. Your secret is my secret, so I won't tell it outside!"

"Since he is your son, I can trust you, so naturally I can trust him, so let's go!"

With Xiao Dingguo's words, Yan Qinghe and Pang Huan instantly felt at ease.

"excuse me!"

After Yan Qing greeted him politely, he helped Pang Huan out.

After watching them leave, Xiao Dingguo rubbed his aching temples.

In the middle of the night, he hadn't slept long before he was called over from the bed. He was really exhausted physically and mentally.

With tired steps, Xiao Dingguo slowly returned to the bed in the room, closing his eyes and going to sleep.

Suddenly, he remembered one thing.

Pang Huan's trip was to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, but from the beginning to the end, he didn't seem to ask about the whereabouts of the batch of grain——

Instead, he pressed on step by step, luring himself to tell the motive of robbing the grain and grass!

What is he trying to do?

Did he accidentally discover that the grain and grass had been robbed, and went to Men Xingshi to question the crime, or did he want to lure himself to confess, and then had other plans——

Thinking of the latter possibility, Xiao Dingguo suddenly turned over from the bed, ran out without putting on his coat, hurriedly, and shouted: "Come on, hurry and catch Pang Huan back!" ..."

After a period of confusion, a group of people gathered, and then led out of the Duke's mansion to arrest Pang Huan.
