"Master Yue, the nun's identity is related to the matter of rebelling against the king. I came here today specifically to mention her." Seeing that Yue Wenhan didn't say anything, Pei Yusheng said coldly, "Master Yue's previous behavior was very unruly. Now you should follow the rules and send the prisoner here. From now on, I will be responsible for all matters concerning the nun."
"Yes, Your Highness!" Yue Wenhan responded. Since King Jing said so, he naturally could not object. Fortunately, it was just in time. The nun had already signed the contract, so his matter was settled. The nun's matter was just a stepping stone to his aunt's case.
Only with the nun could he wash away the dirty water that the servant named Hai Lan had thrown on his aunt. As for what happened next, he already had a clue. The two confidants he had sent out had both returned. They had been secretly brought back and were now in the Dali Temple's jail.
Only Hai Lan changed her mind!
It was just a little bit, really just a little bit. If he had not pried the nun's confession out of her, even if he had some clues now, he would have had to watch King Jing take the person away.
Now the dust has settled and a big stone has been lifted off my heart.
Yue Wenhan allowed the people from the West Prison to take the nun away without any resistance. Seeing Yue Wenhan's excellent attitude, Pei Yusheng's face also looked better. When Yue Wenhan sent him to the gate of the Dali Temple, he deliberately said, "Master Yue, you have worked hard. I will definitely investigate the matter of opening the coffin before, and will never let Master Yue bear such a responsibility in vain."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Yue Wenhan bowed respectfully.
Pei Yusheng patted his shoulder with satisfaction, turned around and got on his carriage, which went all the way back to the West Prison.
Getting off the carriage, Pei Yusheng frowned as he looked at the Western Prison, which seemed even more gloomy than the Dali Temple. He would never have wanted to come here unless it was possible, especially after Pei Yuanjun returned to Beijing. The sounds of torture could be heard from time to time.
Even the place where he handled cases was not peaceful.
Another scream was heard, sharp and trembling, almost like something that could be made by a human.
Pei Yusheng pursed his lips tightly, looked in the direction of the sound, took a quick glance, and strode into his own office.
Although he doesn't come here often, he also has an office here.
"Your Highness Prince Jing, our prince invites you over." Suddenly a voice came from the side, stopping Pei Yusheng.
"Uncle Wang is here?" Pei Yusheng stopped.
"Yes, our prince has been waiting for Your Highness here for a long time." The guard who came over saluted respectfully with an expressionless face.
"When did you come?" Pei Yusheng's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.
"Three hours ago." The guard said, leaning to the side, "Your Highness Prince Jing, please."
Three hours ago, was when Qu Qiuyan came to cry to him
This was not the time to think about this. Pei Yusheng gritted his teeth and could only sigh that he had bad luck. How could he meet Pei Yuanjun looking for him
He turned around and followed the guards forward. From time to time, he could hear screams, which were getting closer and closer, and his footsteps were getting heavier and heavier. They were not going to Pei Yuanjun's usual office, but to the prison cell.
Could it be that this evil star is carrying out the punishment himself
Thinking of this, Pei Yuanjun felt worse and his steps became slower and slower, but he would eventually reach his destination.
When he arrived, he indeed stopped at the door of a cell.
"Your Highness, please go ahead and let me report to our prince."
Pei Yuanjun stopped and looked towards the entrance anxiously with a frown on his face. Pei Yuanjun had been waiting for him. Was this such a coincidence
"Our prince invites His Royal Highness Prince Jing." The guard quickly came out and said to Pei Yusheng.
Pei Yusheng nodded, walked in, and after turning a corner he saw the scene inside.
The man who was hung up had been beaten beyond recognition and was covered in blood. On the other side, on a large chair, Pei Yuanjun was wearing a dark purple brocade robe with a few leisurely irises on the corners of his clothes. The light blue color was very elegant, just like Pei Yuanjun now, with a faint smile on his face.
The handsome sleepy eyes are somewhat dignified, and when they look up at people, they are also very leisurely, without any aggressiveness.
Sleepy eyes are somewhat similar to phoenix eyes, but between when he raises his eyes and when he lowers his eyes, they are less sharp and more elegant and noble.
Pei Yuanjun, leaning against the seat rail, looked gentle and elegant, but in this situation, he was not suitable for everything in front of him.
With the blood-covered person on the opposite wall and the screams that could wake people up from nightmares, the elegance in front of him became cannibalistic, with a hint of weirdness and horror. As soon as they met, Pei Yusheng felt a chill on his back, as if a ghost was crawling over.
What does this perverted Pei Yuanjun want to do
"Prince Jing is here, let's come and ask some questions!" Seeing Pei Yusheng coming in, Pei Yuanjun waved lazily, motioning him to sit on a chair on the side. There was another empty chair there, which was also large and was facing Pei Yuanjun's position, face to face.
Originally, sitting face to face is nothing, it is the way to entertain guests. However, if after sitting down, you can't see the situation behind you, but from time to time, you can hear the screams of frightened souls. No one can sit peacefully at this time. At this time, you would rather see it directly than detect it only by hearing.
"Uncle Wang, I have something else to do, so I can't accompany you..." Pei Yusheng forced a smile.
"Yes, what could it be? You have been busy with palace affairs in the past few days. You should have finished your work almost immediately!" Pei Yuanjun said with a faint smile.
The smile on Pei Yusheng's face froze immediately. Before, Pei Yuanjun asked him to come to the West Prison when he had nothing to do, but he always refused with one reason or another. He knew that he didn't want to come, but he kept saying so. It was obvious that he did it on purpose. There was a sinister flash in his eyes.
Does a prince who is a concubine really think of himself as the prince's uncle
If he did not hold military power and enjoy the trust and favor of his father, who would Pei Yuanjun be
"Uncle Wang, I've really been busy recently. It's a little better now, but new things have come up." Pei Yusheng adjusted his expression and said with a smile.
"Since you are here today, you should accompany me in the trial. This man was a man of the Three Kings back then, and he is also a former subordinate of the King of Qin. He has been on the run for so many years. The Emperor ordered me to investigate the bloodline of the King of Qin. The descendants of the rebellious king should be eliminated one by one. If we don't eliminate all the evil, there will be endless troubles!"
Pei Yuanjun seemed not to notice the flash of jealousy on Pei Yusheng's face, and raised his eyes and smiled.
"Are these the rebel king's men?" Pei Yusheng was shocked, his face darkened. His father disliked the rebel king's people the most, and repeatedly demanded that all the evil be eradicated.
"Yes, I heard that King Jing went to the
Li Si, it is also for the people of the Rebel King. I wonder if you have brought them with you?" Pei Yuanjun said with a smile.
Pei Yusheng's heart skipped a beat and he felt a little panicked.
He didn't tell anyone about this matter. He just came up with the idea because Qu Qiuyan mentioned it and he happened to have found something.
"Uncle Wang, I was just looking for information about this matter, but I don't know if it's true." After calming down, Pei Yusheng smiled leisurely, as if it was just something he did conveniently.
"The matter of the rebellious prince is a big deal no matter how small it is. The emperor has repeatedly instructed me, I hope that Prince Jing will not forget it, otherwise the emperor will not be able to report to him." Pei Yuanjun said with a smile, his tone was a little light, "Prince Jing can't ruin the emperor's big plan because of a woman! It's just a woman. If Prince Jing likes her, I will give you ten or eight."
He was naturally talking about Qu Qiuyan. After all, Qu Qiuyan was King Jing's concubine. Although it had not been publicly recognized, at least it had not been denied. His tone was extremely frivolous, as if he was talking about those prostitutes in a brothel.
The veins on King Jing's hands hidden in his sleeves bulged, but finally they slowly fell down and his hands relaxed.
"Don't worry, Uncle Wang. I will remember my father's instructions."
"That would be the best, of course. Now that we have another person, let's hand this person over to King Jing for trial. It's a trial whether one person is tried or two people are tried." Pei Yuanjun stood up, glanced at Pei Yusheng lazily, tapped his brocade robe twice with the fan in his hand, and led his men away leisurely.
Pei Yusheng watched Pei Yuanjun leave, his hands under his sleeves clenched into fists again.
Originally he could keep everything secret by himself, but now he knows that the matter of the nun can no longer be concealed, and he has to deal with her quickly.
But if he took action in the West Prison, Pei Yuanjun would definitely notice it. Should he punish the nun directly or leave her aside and ignore her until some time has passed before taking action, so as not to pay too much attention to her and attract Pei Yuanjun's attention
This place is considered his territory, but if Pei Yuanjun is here, this place will belong to Pei Yuanjun and will never be his. On the one hand, it is because he does not like it, and on the other hand, he is only Pei Yuanjun's deputy in the Western Prison.
Compared with the favored one, a Prince of Yun County is actually more powerful than the real prince, and has even become a threat to the fight for the throne. This is really a great shame for several princes including the crown prince!
One day, he would step on Pei Yuanjun and slap his handsome face until it looked like the prisoner just now, twisted and distorted to the point that it was hard to tell who he was...
"Your Highness Prince Jing, this is the information about this person, please take a look." A case file was delivered to the table in front of him. The case file, which should have been clean, was delivered by a pair of bloodstained hands. Anyone would feel uncomfortable looking at the blood stains on it, and it would feel even more chilly here.
The strong smell of blood rushed directly into Pei Yusheng's nostrils, causing his sinister eyes to uncontrollably stiffen for a moment, and then he became furious.
"Take it away!" Pei Yusheng shouted while holding his breath. He slapped the table with his hands. The veins on his hands bulged uncontrollably. He stood up suddenly. "I have something else to do."
After saying that, he turned around and walked away, as if someone was chasing him from behind. The strong smell of blood seemed to materialize, making him want to vomit.
"Your Highness, this criminal... what should we do?" Someone chased out from behind.
