The early sun was shining brightly, brushing softly on his face, and at this moment, a chill suddenly appeared.

Yuan Jiazhang was wearing a coarse sackcloth, looking like ordinary people.

He was walking slowly, Duan Shaohua looked at him.There was no other superfluous expression on this face, but he was walking forward, which brought a sense of urgency and made him feel chills.

Staying in the cold and bloody criminal prison for a long time may be the effect.

Yuan Jiazhang came slowly, then knelt down on the ground and called the prince.

I didn't expect that the person Pei Jing was waiting for would be him.

Seeing him coming, Pei Jing said "Get up", with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "You are so cute."

Yuan Jiazhang got up, and said solemnly: "It was the prince who said yesterday, to give the lowly one night, and now is the time to come to see the prince."

A clever word, just for this moment.

Duan Shaohua lowered his head silently, covered his eyes with a cup of tea, he also wanted to know who was behind the assassin's confession?

Sure enough, Yuan Jiazhang glanced at Duan Shaohua before speaking, as if asking.

Pei Jing made no sense, "Just say what you want."

"Yes." Yuan Jiazhang leaned slightly, and said in a low voice: "According to the lord, I have already found out who is behind the scenes."

Pei Jing put down the teacup, waiting for him to continue.

Duan Shaohua also pricked up his ears, the layer of tea in his hand was condensed, and he was extremely nervous.

Yuan Jiazhang said again: "The assassins made it clear that the person responsible for their mission is Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment."

Duan Shaohua raised his head in astonishment, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, the Lord Minister of yesterday!

Pei Jing's face didn't change much, he still said calmly: "It's really unexpected, it turned out to be him."

"My lord, let me know." Yuan Jiazhang knelt a step closer, "In fact, the official position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment was just paid for by him. Recently, the lord is adjusting his officials. He was afraid of revealing the secret, so he sent someone to assassinate the lord. .”

It doesn't make sense, it really doesn't make sense.Duan Shaohua sat on the side silently, thinking that even he could tell something was wrong, how could Pei Jing not know.

Seeing that this Yuan Jiazhang did have some tricks yesterday, how did he dig out the so-called facts?

Pei Jingyi was indifferent, and the words he spit out were more like icy scum, "It makes sense, but once the Shangshu leaves, who will fill the vacancy?" He slowly turned to Yuan Jiazhang, "It's still up to you."

An extremely cold sentence, Yuan Jiazhang is still stable, and there is a bit of cold hatred in the words, "If you talk about the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, it should belong to the humble post. It's just that some people are greedy for money, so they take it." A humble envoy."

Hearing this, Duan Shaohua understood.This is the so-called public revenge, or revenge.

And Pei Jing didn't change color when he heard it, and asked instead: "Someone is greedy for money, who is it?"

As soon as the question was over, Yuan Jiazhang's expression changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "That man covers the sky with one hand, and there is probably only one person in the world who can punish him. The lowly position is really incompetent."

He said it so cautiously, Duan Shaohua thought to himself, if there is only one person in the world, will he be the present day?Or him, Prince Jing?

But looking at Pei Jing, there was a slight disdain on his face when he heard these words.

"You are indeed incompetent." Pei Jing twitched the tea cover and said calmly, "It turns out that what I have tried so hard to find is only a third-rank Shangshu. Even if the Shangshu is really guilty, how can it be your turn?"

As he spoke, the coldness in his words rushed over like dark clouds, and Yuan Jiazhang's forehead burst into cold sweat with his words.

"My lord." Soon he straightened his back, "Last night, I have carefully interrogated the assassin. Although the assassin said he wanted to recruit, he didn't know the identity and origin of the behind-the-scenes. The first meeting was separated by a screen. The only thing he knew was the other party." The shot is very generous, otherwise they would not have taken on such a treacherous task."

"Humble job is a crime, but this matter has been delayed again and again, and now it must be handed over to someone. After that, no matter how the prince handles it, the humble job will not complain."

Yuan Jiazhang told the truth one by one, as if painstakingly.At this time, it was obvious that he was the victim, but Pei Jing acted as if he had nothing to do with him.

Duan Shaohua occasionally glanced at his indifference, but was also puzzled.

After Yuan Jiazhang finished talking about the fact that the two assassins recruited, Pei Jing had nothing else to say, the room fell silent, and became more nervous.

After a while, he smiled again, "You can force the two of them to change their words, Mr. Shangshu, it's quite a skill." After finishing speaking, his tone was sharp again. Such a sudden turn of events is really hard to figure out, " I see that you are not satisfied, the person who failed you back then is still there, but now you are just a mere minister, you are satisfied."

The words were vague, but Yuan Jiazhang's eyes brightened, "Everything is at the command of the lord."

"Knock button" twice, it was the sound of fingers tapping on the edge of the table, a few times that seemed to break through the air, shaking people's hearts.

Pei Jing didn't answer directly, but shifted his gaze to Duan Shaohua who seemed to be in deep thought, and said in a steady voice: "In your opinion, what does success mean?"

Duan Shaohua was in a daze, and he was caught off guard when Pei Jing asked him, but he hadn't responded yet.

Duan Shaohua didn't answer the so-called achievement and fame immediately, but instead looked at Pei Jing, "With the prince here, I dare not speak nonsense."

Pei Jing didn't care, "You say so."

Duan Shaohua narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at a spot in the air, and slowly said: "In the past, Lu Buwei, who knew his son Chu, went back and forth to the Qin Kingdom, and he was once the Prime Minister. There was also King Gou Jian of Yue who suffered the humiliation of Han Xin's crotch, Enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens, turning defeat into victory. Thinking about it, knowing the eyes of wisdom, enduring humiliation and suffering, this is success and fame."

Then he shrugged his shoulders again, and said in a different tone: "The grassroots are just my humble opinion. In fact, the real good way is to find a good place for a good fetus on the Naihe Bridge. It would be even better if you can give birth to a royal family, so that you will be born with honor." Youyao, why worry about any achievements."

These words were obviously addressed to Pei Jing, and the latter only took a slight breath, and seemed not to be angry.

Yuan Jiazhang also heard it clearly, and felt strange in his heart, this young master is obviously someone close to the prince, so why did his words just now target the prince.And looking at Prince Jing, he actually had the intention of being tolerant.

Before he finished thinking about it, Pei Jing turned to him again, "Know your eyes, endure humiliation, you can hear clearly!"

Just saying that, Pei Jing added another sentence, "You said that there is only one person in the world who can avenge your shame. You can choose. Who is that person?"

Yuan Jiazhang didn't say anything at this time, his bright eyes flickered a little, he dared not say or was still thinking about it.

He was silent, Pei Jing had already got up, and by the way, Duan Shaohua couldn't sit still.

"This king knows that you are a talented person, and the third-rank official position is not second to none. But just because you are willing to lie dormant under that Shangshu for a long time, the stability you want is not bad. Your heart is higher than the sky, but don't end up with a life that is thinner than paper. "

Whether there is a threat or a reminder.With a single word, Pei Jing already brushed off his sleeves.

Before Duan Shaohua left, he didn't know why, he turned his head and glanced at Yuan Jiazhang who was still kneeling on the spot.The brighter it is, the less clear it is to the eyes.

Thinking about it later, this was also the last time Duan Shaohua saw the "complete" Yuan Jiazhang.

And it is the same in Yuanjiazhang.

As Pei Jing walked out of the private room one after another, as soon as he went out, Pei Jing grabbed his sleeve again, and was half-dragged out by him just like when he came.

Downstairs is already lively, with diners and shop waiters shuttling back and forth in the hall, chatting and yelling.This kind of scene suddenly made Duan Shaohua think of something, and wanted to stay for a while, but Pei Jing's subordinates were merciless.

The excitement was nothing more than a flash in front of him, and then it became a thing of the past.

The sky was sunny and golden, but Duan Shaohua was still at a loss when he was pulled into the carriage.Came inexplicably, and went inexplicably.

"My lord." He said in confusion, "Your lord just brought me here, what are you listening to?"

Pei Jingzheng put down the curtain, and said slowly: "Since you are in it, you should be able to hear clearly." After that, he smiled meaningfully: "This king wants to go to see the rouge with you again." booth."

Duan Shaohua frowned, but looked at him helplessly, changed the subject and said: "The prince seems to trust Yuan Jiazhang very much, and he doesn't even blame him for changing the assassin's confession without authorization. Why don't you take him into the mansion as a doorman?"

Pei Jing shook his head, with a serious expression on his face, "Wouldn't that have wronged him, if he insists on being a minister, this king will not force it."

A simple sentence made Duan Shaohua's eyes widen, "When did the prince become so enlightened?"

Pei Jing squinted at him, "This king always knows how to use people well."

Duan Shaohua wanted to add that knowing someone is good at robbing, he paused and held back.

Seeing that Pei Jing was really in a good mood at this moment, Duan Shaohua said cautiously, "The lord is the victim, so why don't you care about the assassination?" He obviously used such methods to torture the assassin, but he didn't care at the critical moment .

Could it be that yesterday's bloodshed was for other people to see?

Suddenly, a strange thought flashed across my mind, and I felt it was too absurd.

Or, Pei Jing has already guessed who the chief envoy is, or knows the truth, but because of some reason...

If he knew it clearly!Duan Shaohua's heart trembled, and he quietly looked at Pei Jing's face, but he was startled when he saw it, the eyes on the opposite side were also imprinted with himself.

"My lord." There was a lump in his throat, and he didn't know what to say.

The grunt of the wheels was amplified infinitely, twisting and winding.

After a long time, Pei Jing laughed, "It's okay to tell you, who made you the king's beloved."

Duan Shaohua felt a little uncomfortable when he teased him so much, he could only pretend to look at a certain place.

"There are many people in this world who want my king's life, but the one who dares to do it is the only one in the world."

Another person in the world, Duan Shaohua guessed, he couldn't be the same person as Yuan Jiazhang said, right?

It's just that no matter who it is, if they are targeted by Prince Jing, it may not last long.Thinking of this, Duan Shaohua couldn't help sighing.

The cry caught Pei Jing's attention, and he raised his eyebrows, "Why are you sighing?"

Duan Shaohua looked at his knuckles, only smiled and said: "I was thinking about the culprit, I just blame him for not being considerate at the beginning and saving the prince's life, and now he is really going to suffer."

Pei Jing was puzzled, "How can you be thoughtful?"

Duan Shaohua still lowered his head, and the words he said were much colder, "If I were the assassin, I should have made a decisive decision to burn down the dense forest and destroy the corpses."

Following his words, the carriage fell into silence decisively. After a while, only Pei Jing smiled brightly, "That's a good idea. If I borrow your words, it seems that the king should accept you as a guest." He just said again. No, he lifted Duan Shaohua's chin with one hand and looked, "You have long been my king's tenant." His eyes were full of teasing.

Duan Shaohua turned sideways immediately, he thought Pei Jing would be angry, but he still made jokes like this when he didn't want to.
