In Wen Heyin's "it's not me" and Pei Hantang's "it's you", the confused Mu Zhiming and Gu Heyan finally understood the cause and effect.
The sin originated from five years ago, when Wen Heyin was caught and chased by guards outside during the curfew, and the pure heart and few desires that almost kicked Pei Hantang's crotch.
Mu Zhiming: …
He also remembered. "Master Mu, is he your bodyguard?" Pei Hantang asked with a smile, as if he had caught something interesting. "Exactly." Mu Zhiming nodded. "Okay, then I won't be polite to Mr. Mu. Although he is your bodyguard, I have laws and I wander outside during curfew hours, but I will be imprisoned for a day. As a servant of the Ministry of Rites, Mr. Mu should be familiar. Remembering the law, there is no objection to this, right?" Pei Hantang kept his words reasonable, pressing him step by step.
Wen Heyin was about to speak when Mu Zhiming patted the back of his hand twice, Wen Heyin understood and immediately shut up. "Mr. Pei." Mu Zhiming saluted with a smile, "You're right, I've been promoted to Fa Senming, no matter if my status is high or low, I'm all treated the same. If you make a mistake, of course you will be punished!"
Pei Hantang didn't expect Mu Zhiming to talk so well, and looked at Wen Heyin with a smile: "Little thing, do you hear me? Just follow me?"
With that said, Pei Hantang was about to step forward to catch Wen Heyin, but Mu Zhiming turned to block and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Master Pei, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Pei Hantang's heart skipped a beat.
"If you make a mistake, you will be punished." Although Mu Zhiming smiled, he had some intentions of hiding a sword in the cotton." But if you did not make a mistake but you were punished, wouldn't you be despising the laws of the court as well? Zhao Fu Shaoyin, but you can't wrong a good person, right?"
Pei Hantang was beaten upside down and was a little stunned: "Wronged? I didn't wrong him."
Mu Zhiming smiled and said, "Then does Mr. Pei have evidence? Evidence that my guard committed a curfew five years ago."
Pei Hantang became anxious: "It's been five years, where's the evidence?"
Mu Zhiming said with an "Oops", dragging a long tone and saying slowly, "There is no evidence."
Pei Hantang said, "Although there is no evidence, I remember him!"
"It's been five years." Mu Zhiming asked with a smile, "Is Mr. Pei so sure that the person I met that day was my bodyguard? Are you sure you didn't recognize the wrong person?"
Pei Hantang's momentum weakened: "I... ..then, if he didn't make a mistake, didn't he have a guilty conscience?"
Mu Zhiming said, "Master Pei, my guard was timid since he was a child. You rushed over so aggressively, he was scared, how could he say he was guilty?"
Pei Hantang: …
Pei Hantang looked at Gu Heyan for help.
Gu Heyan:…
Pei Hantang's heart was miserable and miserable: Forget it, it's better to count on Shishi to speak.
He gritted his teeth and said, "What if I say that the person who committed the curfew that day is your bodyguard? What if I say that I am sure that I am not wrong?"
Mu Zhiming was slightly startled.
It's been five years since this matter, and it's not a big mistake to commit a curfew. Why is it worth Pei Hantang's entanglement, and confronting him in the General's Mansion, is there any secret
Seeing that Mu Zhiming didn't speak, Gu Heyan looked at Pei Hantang and said, "Wen Qiong"
"Gu Yuyi, don't turn your elbows out, and now you'll be the right person." Pei Hantang interrupted Gu Heyan, "I have to make it clear today!"
Mu Zhiming: …
Gu Heyan actually called Pei Hantang by his name!
Mu Zhiming sneered: "Okay, Mr. Pei, how do you want to make it clear? Is there no evidence to bind people in front of me? This is the General's Mansion. You are making such a fuss, but you really have nothing to do with General Gu."
Mu Zhiming's tone made him angry when he heard it.
The atmosphere was a bit tense for a while, Pei Hantang thought for a while, then clasped his fists and said: "Don't blame Mr. Mu, I don't want to have a holiday with you, I just want to use this as a reason to ask for help, how can you be so eloquent, you can tell me Speechless."
Mu Zhiming has always eaten soft and not hard. Seeing Pei Hantang taking a step back, his attitude eased: "Mr. Pei doesn't have to be like this. If there is anything I can help you, feel free to say it."
Pei Hantang turned his head to look at Wen Heyin: "Little thing, I remember that you were good at Qinggong, didn't you?"
Wen Heyin pouted: "It must be better than you anyway."
Pei Hantang was not annoyed, and smiled: "Okay, it's okay to be better than me, Master Mu, it's like this. Recently, there was a thief in Dongcheng. The thief was very cunning, me and my brothers. The arrest failed, and I want this little brother guard to help."
Mu Zhiming suddenly realized that he looked at Wen Heyin for advice.
Wen Heyin said: "You don't have to look at me, if you let me go, I will definitely go, I will listen to you."
Pei Hantang: "Huh?"
Mu Zhiming thought for a moment: "Master Pei, can you take a step to speak?"
"Huh? Good." Pei Hantang was confused, and walked a few steps outside the hall with Mu Zhiming. He suddenly felt a burning gaze, and when he turned around, he found that Gu Heyan was staring closely at the two of them.
Pei Hantang: …
Mu Zhiming: "Hey, I'm listening, you say." Pei Hantang turned around and looked at Mu Zhiming. "Excuse me, is there a case of dumping of corpses near the capital recently?" Mu Zhiming asked.
Pei Hantang wondered: "Throw the corpse?"
Mu Zhiming nodded: "Yes, the deceased was disheveled and covered with welts and bruises."
Pei Hantang looked at Mu Zhiming in surprise: "Why are you asking this?"
Mu Zhiming said, "Forgive me for not being able to explain."
Pei Hantang thought for a while: "Thinking about it, the capital has been peaceful in recent years, and I have never encountered such a shocking case."
".Then..." Mu Zhiming thought for a while, "Has there been a case where a servant or a woman in a brothel died in the residence of a dignitary?"
Pei Hantang looked at Mu Zhiming in surprise, and after a long time said, "I have never heard of it."
Mu Zhiming added: "If there is such a dead person in the future, can you please let me know, Master Pei? If Master Pei agrees, I will ask Ayin to help you catch the snitch."
Pei Hantang touched his chin and pondered, "Well... .. it's not impossible."
"Then it's settled." Mu Zhiming saluted.
The two walked back to their original places, Mu Zhiming. Going forward and talking to Wen Heyin: "Ah..."
"I see." Wen Heyin glanced at Mu Zhiming's expression and knew what he was going to say, "Help catch the Snitch, no problem."
"You're refreshing now." Pei Hantang smiled.
Wen Heyin raised her head: "It's natural, after all, it's what my young master said, go through fire and water, and die!"
Pei Hantang said in his heart: This little mouth, babbling, said: "Since it's agreed, you Yinshi come to Jingzhao Mansion to find me."
Wen Heyin: "Oh, I see."
Pei Hantang clasped his fists and looked around: "To disturb everyone, how offended you are, talk slowly, I'm leaving."
"I'll take you off." Gu Heyan stood up. "It's alright, don't give it away, look at your injured hand, sit down, you don't have to give it a courtesy since you gave it once just now." Pei Hantang stretched out his hand and pressed Gu Heyan's shoulder. "I'll send you." Gu Heyan insisted.
Pei Hantang couldn't beat him, so he had to let him go.
Mu Zhiming looked at Gu Heyan's injured hand and hesitated, and finally just sat on the chair and watched them walk out of the hall, waiting for Gu Heyan to come back again.
Just as Gu Heyan and Pei Hantang stepped out of the hall, Gu Heyan immediately asked, "What did Mu Zhiming tell you just now?"
Pei Hantang was surprised: "I co-authored you to send me out, just to ask this?"
Gu Heyan:…
"Brother." Pei Hantang suddenly put his hands up and down, patted Gu He's shoulder solemnly, and asked, "Tell me honestly, do you mean something to the prince of Yan Guogong? Well? ?"
Gu Heyan:…
