Half an hour later, Di Renjie hurried to the Dali Temple with a large group of troops.

Following the meeting were the Attorney Censor Liu Sili and the Ministry of Justice Wei Chengqing.

Di Renjie interrogated Qin Zhen and another guardian in the Wuhou Shop in Tongshanfang.

Qin Zhen kept silent. Di Renjie did not ask for any information he wanted, but made an unexpected breakthrough in the interrogation of another Shuchalang.

This guy looks very manic,

He yelled when he came up.

"Kill me, you guys kill me!"

"I will never tell who the employer is if I die!"

"You must be trusted by words, do what you do, you must be rewarded with kindness, and you must be paid for your debt!"

But Di Renjie keenly heard that this guy had a wrong accent.

"Are you a Turk?" Di Renjie asked with a calm face.

"So what if you are a Turkic person?" The guy continued to yell. "If you are a guard, you will keep the employer's secret forever!"

"Turkish people?" Pei Shaoqing's heart moved after hearing this. He vaguely remembered that the Turks seemed to have a belief that as long as they cut off their hair, they would hold his soul and let him obey.

Otherwise, he would have to be a soulless ghost.

Not only will you be humiliated when you are alive, but you will not be able to reunite with your loved ones even if you die.

Pei Shaoqing pulled out his short knife, then walked over and stepped on the guy to the ground.

"Pei Sicheng, what are you going to do?" Di Renlai said that Pei Shaoqing was going to kill someone with a knife, so he stopped him quickly.

The Turkic man was not afraid at all and yelled: "Kill me, kill me, come, kill me!"

"Kill you? How can this be a good thing?" Pei Shaoqing snorted coldly, and immediately used a short knife to cut the Turkic man's head hair.

The Turkic man looked shocked and angry, and immediately began to struggle hard, but was pressed tightly by the two guards beside him and could not move at all.

Seeing this, Di Renjie sat back on the turtle.

After struggling, the Turks began to beg continuously.

"No, don't cut off my hair, please, I'm begging you."

Pei Shaoqing was unmoved at all and coldly cut off the Turkic hair.

He then put the thrust hair that had just been cut in front of the Turks and said, "This is your thrust hair, which represents your soul. If you don't want to be humiliated when you are alive and cannot be reunited with your relatives even if you die, you'd better reply truthfully!"

"Uh..." The Turkic people began to cry bitterly, obviously having a mental breakdown.

Di Renjie wondered for a moment and asked, "What's your name?"

The Turks cried for a while and replied, "Asyrimdor."

Liu Sili said: "Axijie tribe, from the Eastern Turks."

Di Renjie asked again: "How many years have you been a guardian?"

The Turkic people said sadly: "It's been more than a year."

Di Renjie: "Why do you become a guard and capture man?"

Turks: "Because our tribe was defeated by General Pei, most of the tribe members were scattered, and I also took my son to Pingyi Shouzha City. It was the Shouzhalang in the city who saved our father and son."

Di Renjie: "Do you have a son?"

Turkic: "Yes, nine years old."

Di Renjie: "How many days have you been to Chang'an?"

Turkic people: "Two days ago, I have been in Bashang."

After asking some simple questions, Di Renjie suddenly said, "Who hired you?"

"Only Master Fire knows this." The Turkic people shook their heads and said, "We just follow orders."

Di Renjie changed his question: "So, who brought you to Tongshanfang and placed them in this house?"

The Turkic people said, "I only know that his surname is Pei, and Master Huo called him Qilangjun."

"Pei Qilang!" Wei Chengqing said in horror, "Pei Xingjian's adopted son!"

Liu Sili was also surprised.

This is the confirmation!

Pei Shaoqing waved his hand and said, "Take it down."

The two guards arrested the Turks and walked out.

But the Turkic people struggled to break free and said, "Give me the tip back!"

Pei Shaoqing shook his hand and threw it over. The Turks hurriedly caught it, and solemnly put it in their clothes and hid it, as if it was not a strand of hair that was put away, but a rare treasure.

The Turks were soon taken down by the guards.

Liu Sili and Wei Chengqing faced Di Renjie and said, "Di Sizheng, this case is no longer something that we and the four of us can decide. The official suggested that we go to the palace to meet the queen immediately and ask for the sage!"

"No!" Di Renjie flatly refused, "It is precisely because this case has already involved General Pei, that we must be very cautious to avoid causing great trouble!"

Pei Shaoqing's heart was thrilled when he heard this.

What is the big trouble? Pei Xingjian’s rebellion?

It seems that there is no section on Pei Xingjian’s rebellion in Zizhi Tongjian?

But then again, historical books like Zizhi Tongjian are actually not credible. For example, the relationship between Li Zhi and Wu Zetian is far less harmonious than that recorded in Zizhi Tongjian.

According to the Zizhi Tongjian record, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian are simply model couples.

But as far as Pei Shaoqing is in contact, the two have long been in the same situation.

Wei Chengqing didn't want to take responsibility and said angrily: "Di Si is right, what are you worried about?"

"Has Mr. Wei considered the consequences?" Di Renjie didn't care about the decency among his colleagues at this time and said angrily, "General Pei is now suppressing the Eastern Turkic rebellion in the northern border, and he now has heavy troops!"

"It is because you have heavy troops that you have to report it!" Liu Sili said, "Otherwise, what kind of big rebellion will be really caused? Di Renjie, you are just a fifth-rank official. Can you bear this responsibility?"

Di Renjie said angrily: "But what if the person with ulterior motives blames General Pei? We made a rash report without investigating it clearly. Will we force General Pei to rebel? At that time, the war in the north will be linked to the disaster, and the innocent people will suffer!"

Pei Shaoqing also agreed with this. Once Wu Zetian knew about this, she would definitely kill Pei Xingjian decisively.

This is determined by the position of the superiors. When it comes to the foundation of the rule, they will not be ruthless.

When it comes to rebellion, it is definitely better to kill the wrong person than to let go, and would rather investigate it clearly and then find a way to remedy it.

Because the minister killed the wrong person, he could also make up for it by posting the gift. However, if he made a mistake by being kind and ruthless, it would be a change of dynasty and chaos in the world.

There is an essential difference between the two.

Liu Sili said coldly: "Pei Xingjian may not dare to rebel."

Di Renjie disagreed: "Even if General Pei is killed, the war in the North will fail."

"The northern border of the Tang Dynasty is likely to be troublesome from now on. I don't know how much money and food will be spent and how many soldiers' lives will be sacrificed to calm down again. Haven't you ever thought about these?"

Liu Sili said: "Di Sizheng, we understand all of what you said, but what are these compared to the national destiny of the Tang Dynasty? We are ministers of the Tang Dynasty. We would rather connect the wars in the north and would rather suffer all living beings in the world. As ministers of the Tang Dynasty, we would also swear to protect the national destiny of the Tang Dynasty to the death!"

"What you want to protect is the interests of the family, right?" Di Renjie couldn't bear it anymore and retorted.

"So what?" Wei Chengqing did not deny it, "We are originally one with the Tang Dynasty."

Seeing that the three of them were arguing more and more fiercely, Pei Shaoqing quickly persuaded the fight and said, "Can you listen to what the three of you say?"
