Pei Gonggui

Qian Haiqing, the son of Zhongyihou's mansion, has returned home to send a message, and has already started preparing for the dinner and banquet, and the servants are so busy that they don't touch the ground.Uncle Dong instructed to scrub around. At this time, seeing Pei Jun coming back from his busy schedule, he rushed to meet him. First, he saluted Jiang Yue and hugged Jiang Xuan for him. Immediately, his eyes became red, and he said straight to God for evil.

Pei Jun hurriedly comforted him with a few words, led Jiang Yue and Mei Linyu to walk in, and ordered his servants to go around to invite people from the six departments to come. Just call Jiang Shilang.

At this time, he walked to the main hall, and he and Jiang Yue sat across the table in the north, and first discussed a few words about the candidate for the Minister of War, and the servants quickly served tea.As soon as Jiang Yue sat down, Mei Linyu naturally didn't dare to sit with Pei Jun, and just stood beside Pei Jun in an orderly manner, with a gloomy expression, obviously thinking about Pei Yan's transfer.

After a while, as soon as the outside door opened, Qian Haiqing hurried in and said, "Master, Mr. Cao is here." And behind him a tall figure picked up his robe and stepped over the threshold, and it turned out to be Cao Luan.

Pei Jun got up quickly, led Cao Luan to Jiang Yue and said, "Brother, I've seen Prince Jin, I will see you more in the future."

When Cao Luan heard this, his expression tightened immediately, and he bowed to Jiang Yue: "Cao Luan, a grass-roots man, see Prince Jin."

Jiang Yue didn't wait for him to kneel down to help him, and stood up at this time and said, "I have heard Mr. Cao's reputation for a long time in the middle of Beijing, and I have heard Mr. Pei praised him several times. Now I finally meet Mr. Cao. Fortunately, Mr. Cao doesn't need to be too polite."

Cao Luan repeated his praises, but his eyes of hidden surprise turned to Pei Jun, with a lot of hidden worries, as if he was asking why Pei Jun suddenly got involved with Jiang Yue.Just as Pei Jun was about to speak, his eyes fell on behind Cao Luan inadvertently, but he slightly raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice:

"The person next to brother has changed?"

After hearing this, Jiang Yue followed his advice and looked up, only to see a black-clothed guard who had followed Cao Luan into the mansion standing in the vestibule outside the hall, looking around from afar, with sharp brows and star-eyed eyes, a vigilant look, a cold demeanor, and his surroundings The colors of the green trees and the people who come and go are incompatible.

On the other side, Mei Linyu has already answered for Cao Luan: "I see that it has changed. I remember that there was a scar on that person's face before."

"What is this?" Cao Luan looked at Pei Jun and said, "Most of my family's coachman and maidservants have left, and it's not just this one who changed the bodyguard? I saw that there are many more guards in your house. Now that there are troubles, It’s safe to be prepared in this way, but you really need to be careful when you employ people—”

"That's not it." Pei Jun smiled wryly. Because of this remark, he temporarily looked away from the guard outside the door, raised his hand to lead him to sit with him, and sighed: "Did you hear about Cui Yu? I didn't notice it before. Doing things like this... now makes Pei Yan even more dangerous, and I don't know if it's retribution."

Cao Luan's words were interrupted, his brows were furrowed, and he thanked him for his seat, but he didn't sit down because of Jiang Yue's presence, he just went to Mei Linyu's side and said solemnly: "I never asked about your sister's situation before... ...I didn't know that she was suffering, but I thought she was doing well. Ever since she had an accident, I had people stare at the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, fearing that she would be mistreated and wronged again. Who knew that what happened this time was not in the prison... ..."

As he spoke, he sighed: "Forget it...for now, let's just talk about saving her."

Pei Jun pushed him and Mei Linyu to sit on the chairs one by one. Seeing that Cao Luan was about to get up again, he simply pressed his shoulders and asked in a blink of an eye:

"Brother is here, but is he still concerned about Li Si's case?"

Although Cao Luan didn't know why he mentioned Li Si, he also replied: "Of course. Qian Sheng said that Li Cunzhi is under the watchful eye of Prince Jin and General Xiao, so it should be fine. I will pay attention to his son first."

"How about the case?" Pei Jun walked back to his seat, pushed a cup of tea on the table to Jiang Yue who was sitting next to him, sat down and looked at Cao Luan, "This case is on Li Cunzhi, and now Cai Yan has finally made a move... .

Cao Luan nodded when he heard the words: "You think so. Li Si used to be a martial arts student. The case was appealed from the military station to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It was originally a case of the Tang family using the name of trial transfer to try to threaten Li Cunzhi to abandon the lawsuit. Right now, Grand Master Cai is in prison, Taishi Cai is eager to save his son, and he definitely wants to take the Li family and his son into surgery, but because the Tang family has been reported to the palace by Li Cunzhi... If the Cai family puts pressure on the Li family and protects the Tang family I'm afraid it will be true, and most of them will not attack Li Si in person in the Beijing-China Judiciary, but it is very likely that Li Si's case will be sent back to the government for retrial, and Li Si will be returned to the government to take control of it."

"Mr. Cao's solution is exactly the same as what he imagined." Jiang Yue held up the teacup and looked at Pei Jun, "If Cai Yan is like this, it is because the case was dismissed, and the government officials under his command will look for evidence based on the case, make up for the gaps, and fight for it." It is true that Li Si is in unjust imprisonment. If Li Cunzhi sues the Tang family for slandering Li Si, if he fails, the Tang family can sue Li Cunzhi for falsely accusing the royal family of murder, and Li Cunzhi must be punished by sitting down. By then, he will be dead. Li Cunzhi, if you close the case against the Tang family, no one in the court will have anything to say, but instead, those who speak out against the Tang family will be implicated..."

"That's right. Taishi Cai has always been rooted out, and Li's father and son have indeed entered the game. If this situation is not broken, they will die, and I will be in danger, and I will drag Pei Yan's case." Pei Jun frowned and looked at Cao Luan, "I heard that Li Si's case Was it a strange trial?"

Cao Luan sighed coldly: "It's not just strange, it's just muddled. Ever since Qian Sheng told me about the case, I've read the case file of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Since the case of Li Si, there have been three people in the government The officials accepted the trial, but there were two people who declined with excuses and never attended the hearing. The official documents issued to Li Si were all signed and approved at will, and the remaining inspector who went to court was a donated official of the Cai clan. Yes, there is no need to elaborate on the pros and cons of this. The name of the magistrate in the official document was also added after the fact, and the detailed document in the county was made after the fact. Even the inspection documents were changed after the fact based on the confession. It is a crime to ask Li Si to argue, and it is an indisputable crime. At the governor level, these documents have not been verified in detail. After the yamen learned of Li Si's whereabouts, they also wanted to bypass the Ministry of Criminal Justice and execute Li Si on the spot to flatter the Tang family. ... If it wasn't for the Tang family's fear of killing Li Si and being unable to restrain Li Cunzhi, Li Si would have been a pile of bones long ago."

"But right now, the Tang family can't wait for the death of Li's father and son, so they don't have such worries anymore. Even if Xiao Lin looks at Li Cunzhi and Li Si are still in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Taishi Cai can find a way to pull them out." Pei Jun shook his head, "I If it were Cai Yan, I would try my best to turn Li Cunzhi's memorial from Beijing Control into a court case, and send him back to the government for trial. In this way, both father and son have left Beijing, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Beijing officials can take care of it."

Mei Linyu, who was sitting by the side, finally asked at this moment: "Then how can we save Sister Yan now? You always talk about the Li family. Do you really have to save the person surnamed Li before you can save Sister Yan? Then when will you have to wait?" ?”

Pei Jun leaned his elbows on the edge of the table, took a sip of tea, and said with a serious face: "Mei Liu, you don't understand. Although the affairs of the court and China are complicated and confusing, but in the end, they are just It is related to two cases and one policy.”

Jiang Yue said across the table: "You mean the two cases of Pei Yan and Li Cunzhi, and Xue and Zhang changed their ways?"

"That's right." Pei Jun nodded, "Among them, although Pei Yan's case is most closely related to me, the case Li Cunzhi sued the Tang family is also shocking the government and the public, and has a great connection. If this case wins, the Tang family will be destroyed. The Cai family has one leg, which makes the Cai family unable to take care of themselves - and the case of Pei Yan, we have to deal with the Cai family, don't these two cases help each other? Besides, although these two cases are still in the law, they seem to be harmonious. The New Deal has nothing to do with it, but with the New Deal, the whole country will change its course, and the personnel and official affairs of the DPRK and China will be put on top of it. It is precisely because I am in a different camp from Cai and Zhang that they hold grudges against me and are eager to take these two cases. Call me down. Now that the Cai family has pushed Pei Yan into Dali Temple, if we only see Pei Yan's suffering and don't see a sudden change in the overall situation, we will definitely be biased and mess up. Not only will we not be able to rescue Pei Yan— ——When Pei Yan's case is defeated, I will also be implicated. If Li Cunzhi's grievance fails, Zhang Ling will bite me back and sue. At that time, I will fight with the Zhang family, and the Cai family will come to reap the benefits and steal me Real power, the emperor suspects it together, and it will not be difficult for me to be destroyed."

Jiang Yue frowned: "Then you want to use the Li family father and son as a knife, first cut down the Tang family, open the Cai family, and then rescue Pei Yan?"

"But my brother just said that he was going to resign. How can he help Sister Yan after resigning? Sister Yan is in prison, who do you expect to take care of?" Mei Linyu stared anxiously, "Finding people in prison is' One redemption, two guarantees, three robbing', my brother must know. But if you want to redeem, now sister Yan is in the hands of the surname Cai, and the surname Cai has never met you, let alone you are still arrested now. If he killed his son, then we can't redeem sister Yan with how much money we have. Now that Cui Shangshu is in trouble, I'm afraid that he was able to protect him in the Ministry of Punishment, but now he can't. Did you 'rob'? But brother, if you are no longer an official, what are we going to do to snatch Sister Yan out? If she suffers a crime in there—"

"Can't you say something nice?" Cao Luan raised his head to look at Mei Linyu, and was about to continue, but at this moment he heard a cry from outside:

"Fang Shilang is here. Yan Shangshu is here."

Mei Linyu and Cao Luan stood up again, and the next moment Fang Mingjue and Yan Yuliang walked in with stern faces.

Because they had met several times earlier, Cao and Mei stopped being troublesome after greeting them. Fang Mingjue and Yan Yuliang greeted Jiang Yue first, and Pei Jun asked after sitting down, "Why did you come together?"

"As soon as I came out of the Ministry, my brother came to spread the word that something happened to Cui, so I wanted to go to his house to ask first, but I ran into you and sent someone to call us over, so we came together." As Fang Mingjue said, he took a big sip of the tea brought by the maid, and sighed badly after swallowing it, "I guess you only invited Mr. Jiang today, and you won't invite my master again. People went to inquire about Shen's residence... They said that my master passed out as soon as he found out about Cui's accident. It's messed up...I have to check it out later."

Fang Mingjue and Cui Yu are both Shen Shangshu's disciples, although they made a mistake and never stayed in the same school, but it is uncertain whether this matter will affect him.So Yan Yuliang listened and said: "I advise you not to go. Right now we are too busy to take care of ourselves, don't forget to squeeze your knife."

"But it's my master anyway, and it's always unreasonable not to go, and can I erase this matter if I don't squeeze it?" Fang Mingjue put down the tea cup, his brows frowned, "Don't say that being a teacher for a day is for a lifetime. Father, even the food I ate in Shen's residence for three years is enough for me to go back and take a look? This is my private matter, senior brother, don't worry about it."

Yan Yuliang really didn't bother to care about him, so he just asked Pei Jun in annoyance: "Old Cui was jointly recommended by us to enter Beijing. Now if something happens to him, if the emperor and the cabinet blame him, none of us can escape. What should we do?"

Pei Jun thought for a while, looked at him with a sigh, and said, "I was talking to Prince Jin just now. I plan to resign."

Yan Yuliang was drinking water, but when he heard the words, he choked and coughed fiercely, and Fang Mingjue glared and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense. What is the point of this, are you—"

"Yes, you just think I'm crazy, can you do it?" Pei Jun interrupted him impatiently, feeling a dull pain in his brain, "In the new examination room, the ministers cheated, although I was the one who cracked the case in name , but there is Feng Jiru under him, and he is also to blame for being the chief examiner; now something happened to Lao Cui, and now I have become guilty of recommending him back then—if I don’t ask for a refund at this time, do I have to wait? The Cai family reached out to hit me in the face?"
