fake prince

Chapter 576 Guilty
Hundreds of armored soldiers lined up, and an official stood at the head. As the boat got closer, it could be seen that he was wearing a fourth-rank official uniform. He didn't look like an official from the Ministry of Rites who came to greet him, but more like an official from Dali Temple , his face, although it can't be called harsh and harsh, at least it is serious, looking at it is not good, as if someone owed a lot of money.

But this person was indeed an official from the Ministry of Rites who came to greet him, and Luo Pei even knew him. This was Liu Guangqi, who had been photographed many times and always had a submissive demeanor, but now he had a cold face.

Seeing the situation on the pier, Luo Pei's heart skipped a beat.

In fact, the clues can be seen in many cases from the faces of the officials who have received them.

This is the capital city, not the Southwest. When the imperial envoy wanted to take the Southwest Marshal, because it was the Marshal's one-acre land, he had to take some measures to coax the Marshal into ordering him.

And here is the capital wharf, here, let alone a civil official like Luo Pei, even a military general with hundreds of thousands of troops here, even a dragon will have to coil up, so naturally there is no need to use tricks, worrying that the prisoner will escape.

"My lord, you..." Luo Pei's confidant also had an ugly face when he saw this scene, so he approached cautiously and asked.

"Let's go ashore." Because of this scene, Luo Pei's face was a little pale, not so good-looking, but a third-rank official and an imperial envoy, even though he felt something was wrong in his heart, he could barely maintain his expression.

escape?Naturally, it is impossible to escape.

drag?There is no need to think about it.

He is an official of Dazheng. If the emperor of Dazheng wants to punish him, even if it takes a while, so what?Still have to face reality?
There is no escape, no hiding, only face.

Su Ziji also came out of the cabin at this moment, seeing this scene at the moment, also sank in his heart.

"The situation in front of me is actually somewhat similar to the picture I saw just now. Could it be that what I saw is actually a scene from the future?"

Luo Pei was about to go ashore, but suddenly staggered, seeing Su Ziji following, he suddenly said: "You and I have known each other for several months, if there is a chance in the future, my wife and children, please take care of me."

Saying that, he went ashore without saying a word, and Su Ziji followed without making a sound. As for the luggage and foxes on the official ship, Cen Rubai and Zhang Sui helped to transport them back, even if he was about to be called into the palace immediately, there was no need Worry, this is the benefit of having someone by your side.

As soon as he got off the boat, he saw Liu Guangqi who had been waiting for a long time with his armored soldiers. His face was ashen, and he said to Luo Pei, "Luo Pei, I ask the emperor's order."

Luo Pei saw that Liu Guangqi pulled his face down, his face turned pale, he swallowed helplessly, and knelt down, and the people around him all fell to the ground: "I respectfully greet Sheng An!"

"Saint Gong'an!"

Liu Guangqi asked bluntly: "The emperor asked you and sent you to pass the decree, why didn't you return for half a year?"

After Luo Pei heard this, he felt that he had no selfish intentions in this matter, and immediately kowtowed and replied: "Because in addition to going to the Dragon Palace to pass the decree, there is also a decree to inspect the water conservancy of the three provinces, so I don't want to spend three months on the inspection of the three provinces. , that is sin."

According to the rules, Liu Guangqi just asked, but didn't answer: "Someone impeached you for wandering around and prostitution, that's why you can't make the trip. Is there such a thing?"

This question made Luo Pei feel cold, but he replied: "I know the law. I never go to brothels, let alone engage in prostitutes. I patrol along the way, and I have itineraries in prefectures, counties, and dams."

"The governor, the magistrate, and the stations received along the way all know about it, please the emperor to investigate!"

After Liu Guangqi asked the order, he still had a dark face: "Luo Pei accepts the order!"

"Chen Luo Pei accepts the decree!" Luo Pei roared in his heart. Although he had been mentally prepared, his whole body was shocked and became cold to the bone. Said loudly: "Respectfully listen to the oracle!"

"The emperor ordered: Luo Pei is responsible for the imperial envoy, and he is inspecting on behalf of the heavens. He should have worked diligently to live up to the emperor's favor, but he procrastinated and perfunctory, and the work was not good. !"

"Come here, knock off the black gauze hat on the prisoner Luo Pei's head, take off Luo Pei's official robe, immediately put him in the prison van, and send him to the prison!" After reading the oracle, Liu Guangqi immediately issued an order with a cold face.

The armored soldiers existed for this purpose, and four of them came up immediately, and they couldn't help but knock off Luo Pei's black gauze hat with one hand, and tore off his outer robe directly. White undershirt.

In a blink of an eye, a senior member of the third rank fell into the dust and turned into frost-beaten grass. When Su Ziji saw it, his heart felt cold, his lips moved, and he didn't say anything.

What can be said?

Although Luo Pei's catastrophe was really wronged, and he might even be a little bit involved, after all, among the twin stars, Su Ziji also suspected that one of them represented him.

But it was the one on the dragon chair who took the anger out on Luo Pei, and I still want to win a chance in his palm to save Luo Pei?

There is no such possibility for the time being!
Standing there with downcast eyes, the only thing Su Ziji could do was not to watch the embarrassing scene of Luo Pei transforming from a majestic imperial envoy to a prisoner in an instant.

"Lord Luo!" Liu Guangqi stepped forward to support Luo Pei with both hands: "If you fail, you will be dismissed from office and the review will be discussed. Ups and downs are common things. I guess the court must have a favor."

Luo Pei listened to these hypocritical consolations without saying a word, and waited until they were sent to the prison car that had been prepared long ago, and were escorted away by armored soldiers.

Liu Guangqi, who delivered the oral order, did not follow him, but came to Su Ziji again. At this moment, a smile appeared on his face as if others owed a lot of money.

It turns out that it's not that you can't smile, but that smiles are only given to those who should be given them.

"Lord Su, the emperor has given you a house, please go with me." Liu Guangqi said politely.

The emperor gave him a house?

Su Ziji was not surprised to hear that he was given a house. Zheng Jiwei made his son king and his son king of the county.

But not in one step, according to the will: "The princes of the previous dynasty were crowned king when they came out. The emperor (Wei Shizu) was not crowned with virtue, and he was specially killed for the ceremony. The prince was first appointed as a prince, then became a prince, and finally became a king."

At the time of Taizu, the Ministry of Rites said: "The prince did not discuss feudalism, and he was hoped by both Chinese and foreign countries. Now that the rituals have been completed, he is willing to surrender his life." He was named the Duke of the country, and after a few years, he was named the county king or king.

It's just that no matter what kind of title you confer, you will move out of the palace and give you a house to live in.

Now that Su Ziji has won the first prize, soon, even if he admits it, he will no longer be able to live in the palace. Entering the palace to meet him by himself, but go to the mansion bestowed by the emperor first?
This is a bit of a surprise.

Thinking of Luo Pei being knocked down just now, Su Ziji's eyes suddenly became cloudy: "This seems to be accidental, and the gift of the house is generous, but it's not from the emperor's heart that he really doesn't want to see me?"
