On October 26, the rainbow disappeared.

The sky was very gloomy. Pei Yue got up early. After a simple breakfast, he stood at the door of Xiangyun Store and looked at the empty street.

He seemed to be waiting for someone, but no one knew who he was waiting for.

In fact, Pei Yue himself knew that most of the people he was waiting for would not show up, at least not so early.

Although he asked Feng Yi and Gai Ju to stay at Green Willow Village, he told Ye Qi to go to Beijing immediately as soon as she came back. After all, it was still nearly twenty miles away.

It has to be said that the emperor's move caught him off guard. Originally, according to his and Mr. Xi's speculation, Li Zijun's case and Pei Rong's case should be put together and decided at the court meeting in a few days. He and Ye Qi

The agreed time is the 28th. Regardless of whether the girl succeeds or not, he will make the most reasonable response.

But now that the emperor has asked the Ministry of Punishment to try Li Zijun's case, there is a lot worth saying in it.

Li Bingzhong was not a nobleman who made his fortune through military exploits. He was once a member of the civil service. He was transferred from the Minister of War to the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, and then was promoted to the first-class Marquis of Fengcheng. Although he is now a nobleman with military honors, no one can

I don’t know how much of the friendship between him and those civil servants back then is left.

Seeing that his face was not very good, Gu Fan comforted him: "Don't worry too much. I told you before that my relationship with the civil servants is pretty good, especially the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. When Taohua disappeared, the Ministry of Justice also had a good relationship with him.

You have contributed a lot, maybe that noble scholar still has an impression on you."

There is no one on the long street, and the sky is dim in the early morning.

Pei Yue looked around, and then whispered: "I'm not worried about the Ministry of Punishment, but His Majesty the Emperor's thoughts have been very obvious. He doesn't want to deal with Li Zijun. Throwing this case to the Ministry of Punishment is a signal. Gao Shangshu may take a look at Gu.

Uncle's face is not to embarrass me, but will he violate the Sacred Heart? I don't think he has the courage."

Gu Fan gritted his teeth and said: "Bullshit checks and balances."

Pei Yue was stunned for a moment, then he laughed dumbly and said: "This matter has nothing to do with the balance of the government. Your Majesty just wants to give me a slap in advance."

Gu Fan asked: "Hit you?"

Pei Yue had calmed down. With Mr. Xi's instructions for more than half a year, he already had a certain ability to analyze government affairs. He said slowly: "If I am not wrong, your Majesty will make me a viscount, which means that he will not spare Pei Rong lightly. You

Have you ever thought about it? Pei Cheng is already Uncle Dingyuan. If I can be knighted again, Dingguofu’s generation will be a double knight. Such an honor is not common. Even for people like Wang Pingzhang, the children in the family do not have titles. These two

The title symbolizes that His Majesty still values ​​Dingguo Mansion, which will naturally calm the hearts of the founding princes and will not make these people uneasy because of punishing Pei Rong."

"In this case, isn't Pei Rong dead?"

"No, but he can't stay in Dingguo Mansion."

"So you knew this a long time ago. No wonder you've been in the capital for so long and didn't want to go back to Dingguo."

Pei Yue fell into silence because he thought of Pei Ning.

After a while, he looked bewildered and said: "Actually, I originally planned to go to Dingguo Mansion in the next two days. There are some things I want to verify."

Gu Fan, who was very curious, did not ask what he wanted to verify, but changed the subject and asked: "Since Your Majesty wants to deal with Pei Rong and reward you with a title, why do you still want to beat you?"

Pei Yue sneered: "Since he is going to use me, of course he has to give me a beating first to make me understand my identity and not to be arrogant due to favor. I estimate that Shen Moyun will not say anything about what happened that day in Dingguo Mansion when he forced Pei Rong to resign. I must tell your majesty honestly that he may think that I, a young man with a lonely temperament, will inevitably have difficulty in using it, so he used Li Zijun’s incident to make me stay on my terms and do my best to be the knife in his hand.”

Gu Fan felt a little headache after hearing this.

He has no interest in these things. If it weren't for Pei Yue, he wouldn't even want to ask.

I had traveled far away from Kyoto before because I was tired of the machinations in Kyoto. In the end, I gave up the idea of ​​joining the army and only wanted to be a wandering knight without any worries.

"Then what are you going to do?" Gu Fan didn't care much about the straightforwardness and boldness of Pei Yue's words.

Pei Yue stretched out, took another look at the empty Qingshui Street, and said softly: "If Li Zijun just behaves like a dandy like that time at Luliu Village, I won't do anything to him. At most, I will let him pay more." Some money. But this time he wants to kill me, do you think I can retreat?"

Gu Fan put his hand on his shoulder and said seriously: "I will go with you. We must make that bastard suffer enough today."

Pei Yue smiled and agreed, then called Deng Zai, who was waiting in the distance, and said to him: "If Miss Ye comes here today and I don't come back, you can ask her to go directly to the Ministry of Punishment."

"Yes, Master."

Pei Yue looked at Gu Fan and said, "Let's go."

On the way, Gu Fan said in a bad tone: "After I learned the news yesterday, I wanted to ask my father to help you, but did you know? My father received an imperial edict the day before yesterday and asked him to inspect the southern border of Yongzhou. I heard that there was a banditry there. "

"Bandit trouble?"

Pei Yue is now a little sensitive to this word, and after hearing it, Chen Xizhi's face will automatically appear in his mind.

Gu Fan nodded and said: "I heard from my father's soldiers that it seems that some miners are causing trouble. It should have nothing to do with those people in Hengduan Mountain."

Pei Yue was not completely relieved, because after seeing Chen Xizhi's madness, he knew that he could not use common sense to infer this woman. What made him even more uneasy was that Taohua's mother, Aunt Leng, had obviously agreed, but more than ten days had passed. , her information still has not been sent. It seems that this person disappeared after meeting in the Qishui boat that day.

Now that Mr. Xi is in charge of Green Willow Village, he doesn't believe that Aunt Leng has the ability to steal the peach blossom again, so why did she break the promise?

Seeing his ugly face, Gu Fan couldn't help but feel the same hatred as the enemy, and said coldly: "Your Majesty really knows how to choose the right time, and specially transferred my father out in these two days."

Pei Yue said calmly: "In front of His Majesty, we have no secrets."

Transferring Gu Liang means that Pei Yue's biggest supporter in the capital is no longer there. How can a young man like him and Gu Fan, a playboy in the eyes of the world, stir up trouble in the Ministry of Punishment?

Just like Pei Yue said before, Emperor Kaiping only needs to move his fingers a little to turn into thunder and beat him, the bastard of Dingguo.

After arriving at the Criminal Department, the doorman, who had already received the order, led the two of them into the concierge and made them wait here for more than half an hour. When the tea had completely cooled, he slowly led them to the lobby.

Gu Fan was angry, but Pei Yue was calm.

If you want to do a complete show and beat him, you will definitely use some tricks to beat him. He is no stranger to this.

In the lobby, Li Zijun was already present.

Enemies were naturally extremely jealous when they saw each other, especially Pei Yue, who was wearing a brand-new robe, and Li Zijun, who was wearing a prison uniform.

Gao Qiu, the Minister of Punishment, was sitting behind the case. He was about fifty years old, with a goatee on his chin and sharp eyes.

Pei Yue was somewhat surprised to see three other people in the lobby.

The man had a pale face and no beard, so he looked like he was a prisoner in the palace.

One man was tall and tall, wearing armor, and he was actually a general in the army.

The last person was sitting on the left side of Gao Qiu, level with the Minister of Justice. When Pei Yue saw him, his pupils shrank suddenly.

This is a young man under twenty years old, and he is actually wearing a prince uniform!

"Snapped!"
