"Hei Jiren, you are indeed her lackey!" Pei Yu finally saw clearly who the Shenxing Division was working for.
Hei Jiren replied with a smile: "Mr. Pei, please don't slander me. We are all on errands for the emperor. If we pin this issue on the princess, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings. For the emperor's sake For my sake, you should just follow the rules."
"Hmph!" Pei Yu didn't want to pay attention to him at all and breathed out through his nostrils.
Seeing that the situation was about to reach a stalemate, the Minister of Rites pushed aside the crowd and hurriedly stepped forward.
First, he persuaded He Zhu: "Master He, Prime Minister Pei is a veteran of two dynasties and is highly respected. What you are doing is indeed against the rules."
"This is the princess's order." He Zhuan replied expressionlessly.
Mr. Zhu stood on his knees, glanced around, and lowered his voice: "This is not a palace. You are making trouble for the princess by saying this. This order is stamped with a jade seal, and it is the emperor's order!"
"Master Zhu, what you said makes sense." Hei Jiren turned around with a smile.
Master Zhu was startled but he took a few steps back.
But fortunately, he remained stable and knew that Hei Jiren was the princess's person.
He turned around and walked towards Pei Yu, but he didn't want Pei Yu to look at him coldly: "Zhu You, you don't need to persuade me."
Zhu You licked his face and smiled extremely flatteringly: "Prime Minister Pei, we are all working for the emperor. Although the rules are dead, people are alive. Although we need to investigate, we don't necessarily have to take Pei. Find out every part of the house, how many people there are in the Pei family, just come over in batches and let the two adults check."
As soon as these words came out, He Zhuan's eyes narrowed slightly. This method was not something that a person like Zhu You could come up with.
Could it be that there are still experts guiding him behind his back
When He Zhuan wasn't paying attention, Hei Jiren was also quietly sizing him up.
As an interrogator, he is particularly sensitive to people's micro-expressions and aura changes.
Especially when there are many people and many eyes, it is the best time to observe.
He Zhuo seemed to feel that he was being watched, and couldn't help but turn his head to look, only to see Hei Jiren follow him and look over: "Master He, do you need a little help?"
"No need for now." He Zhuo replied politely, always feeling that Hei Jiren was here to spy on him.
Zhu You above was still trying to persuade Pei Yu, but the effect was not very good.
He Zhuo didn't want to cause more trouble, but Hei Jiren was here anyway, so he turned to Hei Jiren again and asked, "Can you trouble Mr. Hei?"
"Yo yo yo!" Hei Jiren quickly turned around, "Master He, has changed his mind?"
When Zhu You who was on the steps heard this, he didn't dare to think anything was wrong, and rushed down again: "Master He! Master He! What are you going to do! They are all working for the emperor. From now on, everyone will not look up when they look down, so why bother? Why should we be in such a stalemate?"
He Zhuo looked Zhu You up and down: "Is Mr. Zhu also a member of Prime Minister Pei?"
These words frightened Zhu You so much that he wanted to cover his mouth: "Master He! What you are saying is that everyone who belongs to you is an official in the court. Can't we be kinder?"
"But the princess only gave me ten days, and if I don't get it done within ten days, I won't be able to keep it secret, and I'm afraid it will bring trouble to my subordinates."
Zhu You was stunned by these words. Could it be that the princess wanted to take advantage of the situation
He looked back at Pei Yu and found that Pei Yu's eyes were particularly dark. He looked at He Zhui and Hei Jiren, not knowing what he was thinking.
The scene was deadlocked again. Hei Jiren didn't want to go on like this, so he picked his ears and said, "Master He, should we take action?"
"Master Hei!" Zhu You was so frightened that he almost jumped up.
Hei Jiren only responded to him with a smile that looked kind but was actually cold.
With a wave of his hand, the people from the Criminal Investigation Department all prepared their weapons.
Seeing this critical moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from the distance: "Stop-"
When everyone heard this, their eyelids twitched and they all turned to look.
Sure enough, someone came along who gave them all a headache.
The man ran from far to near, stopped between the two sides, looked at Pei Yu, then at He Zui, and finally set his sights on Hei Jiren.
Zhu You, who was ignored, couldn't help but stretch his neck. Isn't he considered a human being
The person who came was none other than Jin Yuanbao. He turned to stare at Hei Jiren with a rather unkind look in his eyes: "Master Hei, you are from the Criminal Punishment Department. You are responsible for arresting prisoners, not Daqi officials. May I ask what Prime Minister Pei has committed? wrong?"
"Master Jin, this little guy is just helping Master He. If you want to ask, you have to ask Master He." Hei Jiren threw the pot away without hesitation.
He Zhuo glanced at Hei Jiren, but said nothing. He only explained to Jin Yuanbao.
Before he finished speaking, Jin Yuanbao interrupted him directly: "Wait! Is this what the princess meant?"
"Yes." He Zhuo had a bad feeling.
As expected, Jin Yuanbao's face became serious: "If it is really what the princess means, then I will go to the palace to face the saint and ask the emperor to take back his life! Although Prime Minister Pei shuts himself up and thinks about his mistakes, he is the Prime Minister of Qi after all. You guys You dare to lead troops to break in, you simply regard the laws of Daqi as nothing! If you really want to do this, I will enter the palace and take part in your copy!"
He Zhuo felt his forehead twitching after hearing this. He wanted to explain, but based on his experience in the past few years, Jin Yuanbao was simply a fool!
A single-minded person who only accepts death!
Even when Emperor Shunde was on the throne, he dared to go directly to the court over Lei Xiao and talk about trivial matters to the court.
"Master Jin, you are from Yushitai, I dare not touch you, but if you stopped us today, you can only be rude!"
He Zhuan looked at Hei Jiren and heard him say: "Master He, you need to explain the matter clearly. Our Criminal Punishment Department can help you, but you must shoulder the responsibility when the time comes. Master Jin is not Master Lei. He You really dare to go to the emperor to interview the princess."
These words reminded He Zhuo, but he still nodded.
Now he has no choice but to move forward.
"Stop!" The sound of horse hooves came from behind again, but it was Jin Long who came with Shuntian Mansion.
He turned over and dismounted, and Jin Yuanbao immediately said: "Master Jin came just in time, He Zhuo-"
Jin Long stepped forward quickly, knocked Jin Yuanbao unconscious with one palm, then turned around and had people drag him down.
This scene made everyone open their eyes instantly.
Jin Yuanbao has been running rampant these past few years, and no one really dares to mess with him.
Regardless of other people's gazes, Jin Long walked directly to Pei Yu and whispered a few words.
He turned around and came down again, whispering a few more words to He Zhuan.
Finally, he said to the two of them: "This is the best way. If we really get into trouble, both of us will lose. Both of us are important ministers of the Qi Dynasty. It's not worth falling out over such a trivial matter."
The two sides were silent for a moment, Pei Yu and He Zhuo nodded in unison, and finally used Zhu You's method.
This matter was reported back to the palace, and Wen Qingzhu sat in Huaqing Palace to read the book.
After Lu Tao finished reporting, there was confusion on his face: "Whose person is Jin Long?"
Wen Qingzhu put down the book with a smile: "He belongs to no one. He is just a good official who wants to do things for the people. If Jin Yuanbao hadn't been involved by accident, he probably wouldn't have come forward at all."
"Jin Yuanbao is involved?" Lu Tao thought carefully and suddenly frowned, "He won't really come into the palace to read the princess's book, right?"
Wen Qingzhu looked up at the door with a distant look: "He really knows how to do it."
In the evening, Xiao Fangzi hurried to Huaqing Palace. While putting down the book, he asked Wen Qingzhu: "How is the princess today?"
"Not bad." Wen Qingzhu smiled and asked Lu Tao to hand the modified fold to Xiao Fangzi.
Hearing what she said, Xiao Fangzi was a little undecided. Why did the princess seem to have no idea what was going on outside
Wen Qingzhu went to the desk and sat down, ready to continue reading the book.
As a result, Xiao Fangzi said: "Princess, Lord Jin Yuanbao is kneeling at the door of Xuanzheng Hall now, asking the Emperor to deal with you?"
"Oh? Mr. Jin is not a random person. What reasons does he have?" Wen Qingzhu did not look surprised.
Xiao Fangzi had no choice but to face his scalp and said: "Tell me, the princess is dictatorial and trying to control the emperor..."
His voice became softer and softer, but Wen Qingzhu couldn't help laughing: "Master Jin is so interesting, and he has been charged with such a serious crime, so I have to go and see."
When they arrived at the Xuanzheng Hall, Wen Qingzhu saw Jin Yuanbao kneeling in the distance before he reached the door.
She walked over and asked him with a smile: "Why is Mr. Jin kneeling here?"
Xiao Fangzi quickly went in to find the emperor.
Jin Yuanbao didn't look at her, he just raised his hand and bowed towards her as a salute, and then stopped talking.
Seeing his reaction, Wen Qingzhu simply stood in front of him and looked down at him: "Master Jin, please tell me clearly, what crime have I committed?"
There were hurried footsteps behind him, it was Xiao Fangzi bringing Jiang Yuanhan over.
"Sister!" Jiang Yuanhan was also troubled and wished he could beat Jin Yuanbao.
But he had long seen Jin Yuanbao's ability to not be afraid of being beaten, and he felt depressed, so he could only report it to Wen Qingzhu.
Wen Qingzhu looked at him sideways, but Jiang Yuanhan's eyes were still a little evasive.
She knew that it happened a few days ago, and Jiang Yuanhan still had a grudge.
But Wen Qingzhu didn't care. He didn't care about these things now.
Instead, he said to him: "I cannot bear the charges Lord Jin mentioned. If your Majesty thinks that I really have this intention, then I will hand over the jade seal and ask myself to leave the capital."
"Sister!" Jiang Yuanhan suddenly became anxious. If his sister really had this intention, he would be very happy!
But not.
Jiang Yuanhan was in a bad mood and did not dare to get angry with Wen Qingzhu, so he could only vent his anger on Jin Yuanbao: "Master Jin is afraid that he has been deceived and is talking nonsense. For the sake of Master Lei, you can leave quickly and I will not hold you accountable. !”
"Your Majesty! I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears that He Zhui, the Minister of Household Affairs, said that he followed the order of the princess and began to investigate the capital! But he brought the people from the Shenxing Department with the intention of breaking into the Pei family. This is It’s illegal!”
Jin Yuanbao spoke with sonorous words, raised his head and said: "Your Majesty! Only you, the emperor, can have such power! The princess can listen to the government, but she is not the emperor after all! She is not the regent!"
Seeing that he was still like this, Jiang Yuanhan turned blue with anger, and couldn't help but said: "Come here! Drag Mr. Jin down to hit twenty big boards!"
The guards came up and dragged Jin Yuanbao away, but he still looked at Jiang Yuanhan and persuaded: "Your Majesty is young, so you should pay attention to the people around you!"
Jiang Yuanhan was even more angry. His sister was the person closest to him!
This stupid boy doesn't even know he's being taken advantage of!
He turned around cautiously: "Sister, I won't misunderstand you."
Wen Qingzhu nodded: "I know, that's why I bypassed you and handled the matter directly. It's just that if Pei Yu passes the test, I'm afraid there's someone who won't be far away from cooperating."
"It's okay! I'll support my sister from the front." Jiang Yuanhan patted his chest and assured.
Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but smile, and subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch her head.
When she was in mid-air, she saw that the person in front of her was the emperor. She was about to retract her hand when she saw Jiang Yuanhan grabbing her wrist. The disciple lowered his head and touched it.
Seeing him like this, Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but laughed out loud.
Jiang Yuanhan immediately laughed and climbed up the pole: "Sister, please stay for dinner today. I happen to be undecided about something. Please help me take a look."
Wen Qingzhu wanted to refuse, but thinking that Jin Yuanbao would come later, he nodded in agreement and followed Jiang Yuanhan into the study of Xuanzheng Hall.
