"Yang Wanyun, do you know your guilt?"

When Yang Wanyun heard this, his face was as dark as the face, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and kept saying: "I deserve to die for ten thousand times, and I deserve to die for ten thousand times!"

I clenched my fists and looked outside without blinking.

Pei Yuanhao looked at him with a sneer. After a long time, he slowly said, "Of course you deserve to die."

"minister--"

"For your 60th birthday, I invite the kings, princes, ministers, and the people, but I missed this post. Could it be that I have been with your king and minister for decades, and I have never given you any face? I did not care about your past grudges and could not even drink a glass of wine that suits my wishes. Your wife even lost her etiquette and dirty my robes..."

“…”

"Tell me, do you deserve death if you have sinned!"

“…!”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone around him was stunned.

Not only the people around me, but I was also stunned, staring at the man with wide eyes.

His words were completely avoiding the important things, just to excuse Yang Wanyun's family!

What's going on? Is Mrs. Hanyu so brave that she wanted to kill the regicide with poison, so she just kept it a secret and didn't plan to pursue it?

No, this is absolutely impossible!

His character is sinister and fierce, and he will definitely be revenge. He will not be able to swallow such grievances. What's more, even if other guests in the hall don't know about the murder of the monarch with poison, these high-powered people will not be able to see through it. This matter will definitely not become a permanent secret. There will inevitably be some rumors. If such a sinful sin can be forgiven, it is to tell everyone in the world that monarchic killing is just a small matter, which is simply arousing the ambitions of those people. At that time, his troubles will be great!

Thinking of this, I was even more nervous than when I saw him raise his glass, and I held my breath and looked over there.

Yang Wanyun looked at Pei Yuanhao blankly. It was obvious that he had experienced the same conflicts and entanglements as me, but after he was relieved, he kowtowed immediately and said, "What the emperor said is very much. I have let down the emperor's kindness and have not managed the family strictly. It is my fault. I deserve to die!"

Yang Jinqiao knelt on the ground, walked a few steps to Pei Yuanhao, and kowtowed, "The emperor is powerful and dominates the world, and I hope the emperor will remember that his father is old and old, and he is confused, and forgives his father this time!"

Pei Yuanhao slowly placed his hands on the armrests on both sides of the chair, and slowly tapped the armrests with his right hand, then smiled and said, "That's right, today is Yang Aiqing's 60th birthday. Aiqing is already sixty years old and is too impatient to do things. He is inevitably a little negligent in his work. It is indeed time to enjoy his old age."

“…”

"Besides, my dear minister has been managing the salt roads of the court. So many businesses of the canal transport are all energy-consuming. In this way, I have always made you work hard, but I am not considering you."

"I don't dare."

"Since that's the case, it's better to hand over those businesses back to the court." Pei Yuanhao smiled faintly, lowered his head and said to Yang Wanyun: "My dear, it's time to take a break."

“…!”

Yang Wanyun leaned down on the ground, motionless, only his shoulder twitched slightly.

The guests in the hall almost gasped.

Yang Wanyun held several big businesses in his hand, which was almost the fortune of the Celestial Empire for a few days, especially the operation of salt, silk and wine. The annual taxes are one of the biggest sources of income for the treasury. Pei Yuanhao did this to take all the management rights of these things to the court!

What is he going to do?!

Compared to Yang Jinqiao's appearance just now, when he knelt down and confessed with the Yang family, although the Yang family seemed to be without any worries of punishment, my mood became heavier. Pei Yuanhao did not kill the Yang family, nor did he even punish anyone in the Yang family. But if he really killed Mrs. Hanyu for the crime of regicide, or killed the entire Yang family, it was just targeting everyone and the Yang family. Now that he has taken back those businesses, it is obviously not targeting the Yang family, it is as simple as targeting this matter!

The sweaty palm made me unable to clench my fists. I slowly put down my hand and gently pinched the corner of my clothes.

Immediately, the corners of the clothes were soaked in sweat.

At this time, Yang Wanyun kowtowed again: "The old minister thanked the emperor for not killing him, and thanked the emperor for sympathy!"

Pei Yuanhao smiled and said, "Get up. You are old, and today is your birthday, so don't kneel up like this."

Yang Wanyun slowly stood up from the ground, but he didn't know if it was because his legs were numb after kneeling for a long time, or because he kowtowed like that just now, he staggered a little while when he got up and almost fell down. Or whether Yang Jinqiao and Yang Jinyao rushed forward and supported his father.

Yang Wanyun turned his head to look at Yang Jinqiao. His gray beard on his jaw was trembling slightly, and his dark gray eyes kept flashing, as if there were thousands of words to say, but at this moment, it was not the time when they were reminiscing about father-daughter relationship. Yang Jinqiao only supported him with both hands and lowered his head.

At this moment, Yang Jinyao looked up at Yang Jinqiao, her face full of sad and joy: "Sister."

Yang Jinqiao browed deeply, and he nodded slightly, and did not speak anymore.

The Yang family used their home business to change their life!

And I finally understood why the marriage between Wu Yanqiu and Yang Jinyao could not be completed. Pei Yuanhao took back the business and of course he would hand it over to the Ministry of Revenue in the end. If Yang Jinyao, the second lady of the Yang family, remarried to the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, it would likely lead to collusion between the Yang family and the Ministry of Revenue, which would be equivalent to changing from the left hand to the right hand, and there was no difference.

And the Yang family was unwilling to let go. After all, Yang Wanyun has made no mistakes over the years. Yang Yunhui was once his best friend. Yang Jinqiao also worked for him in Shangyang Palace. Before leaving out the interests, he was still kind.

So, he just showed interest in Yang Jinyao...

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Thinking of this, I couldn't help but frown slightly and looked at Wu Yanqiu who was standing not far away.

At this time, I could no longer see the expression on his face. I just looked at his slightly collapsed shoulders, as if there was an invisible heavy burden on them, almost crushing him.

At this time, Pei Yuanhao smiled and said, "Since the glass of wine has just spilled, then - Yang Aiqing, what about pouring me a glass of wine that suits me?"

Yang Wanyun hurriedly said, "Yes!"

He turned around and was about to give orders, but Yang Jinqiao had already stepped forward: "I'll do it."

Yang Wanyun glanced at her and nodded silently.

Yang Jinqiao turned around and looked back. She saw Mrs. Hanyu standing there as if she was still dumbfounded, her face was as bright as gold paper, and her eyes were dull. She hurriedly walked back and pulled Mrs. Hanyu's sleeve and took her away.

There was a deep silence in the hall.

The guests watched the scene just now, like a drama of ups and downs. At this moment, they still didn't know what the outcome was, and no one dared to speak. They all held their breath and waited carefully.

After a while, the bead curtain swayed and Yang Jinqiao walked out from behind again.

In her hand was a wine pot made of white marble. The wine pot was very delicate and the body was snow-white and clear. When she walked over, she could almost see the traces of the wine inside.

However, Mrs. Hanyu did not come out with her again.

Obviously, it is also for the sake of safety. The emperor was able to spare their family's life. To be honest, it was an extremely kindness. After all, regicide is not a minor crime, not to mention that the Ninth Level Emperor's heart is the most difficult to predict. If his mind changes and he wants to punish the Yang family, I am afraid that one or two people will not be able to recover. So, let Mrs. Hanyu retreat, of course, I don't want to have trouble at this time.

Yang Jinqiao walked forward, whispered to the crime, and then poured wine for Pei Yuanhao himself.

Pei Yuanhao didn't say a word and drank three cups in a row.

No one in the hall dared to move, so he watched him quietly drink three glasses of wine. After drinking, he put the glass back on the table and said with a smile: "Well, it's getting late, and I should go back to the palace, otherwise the censor will go to the imperial study room to block my way. Jin Qiao——"

Yang Jinqiao hurriedly stepped forward: "Here."

Pei Yuanhao glanced at her, but his eyes showed a little softness, and even his voice softened, and he said, "You finally came back, so let's reunite with your family today. I also know that you must have a lot to say to them."

"Thank you for your compassion."

"In two days - I will tell you in detail."

Yang Jinqiao's face was slightly pale, but he immediately lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

She has been "dead" for so many years and suddenly "resurrected" today. This is a big deal not only for the Yang family, but also for the emperor, and everyone around her. Now, in what capacity is she going to return? Is there an agreement between her and Pei Yuanhao?

Is it Mrs. Jin Qiao, who was cautious in speaking and doing things in the Shangyang Palace in the past? Or is it the eldest lady of the Yang family?

Or, it is Yang Yunhui's-

I looked at her pale face and couldn't help but frown.

At this time, Pei Yuanhao stood up slowly with the armrest of the chair.

When he stood up, Chang Yanbai and Nangong Jinhong both walked up. Pei Yuanhao then smiled and looked back at Nangong Jinhong, and smiled and said, "You are here today, are you here to celebrate Yang Aiqing's birthday?"

Nangong Jinhong hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Yes."

"I don't know that my dear friends have a deep friendship. Well, you two should have a good chat."

"……yes."

Nangong Jinhong seemed a little hesitant, but he didn't dare to say anything else and kept bowing his head.

Pei Yuanhao then waved his sleeves and said, "Let's go!"

While saying that he had already walked out, when he walked past the hall, all the guests standing on both sides knelt down and immediately knelt down.

I watched him walk to the center of the hall. When he was parallel to the screen where I was, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked at me.
