Pei Ziqi stepped over the palace gate and said slowly: "You go to the Ministry of Rites to arrest people, I will go back to the mansion first, and I will go to the Ministry of Punishments to find you later."

Sun Hancheng paused and smiled: "I plan to arrest Chen Yonghan and live in the Ministry of Criminal Justice to concentrate on trial. Could it be that you are also planning to live in the Ministry of Criminal Justice and go home to pack your clothes?"

Pei Ziqi glanced sideways, and said with a sneer, "It seems that you and your fiancée are not very happy. In order to avoid him, you have to flee to the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Sun Hancheng was angry, and said with a low voice: "You are so embarrassed to say it! If it weren't for you, how could I have provoked him again? I have long since died of old age..."

Pei Ziqi stopped in his tracks, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Little brother was indiscreet for a while, I hope brother grandson will forgive me, forgive me this time."

Sun Hancheng snorted softly, opened his mouth, and suddenly stopped.He looked ahead, shook his head and sighed, "It's useless for me to forgive you, it's God who doesn't forgive you."

Pei Ziqi froze for a moment, then followed his line of sight to look sideways.Not far away, a man stood in front of the carriage. He looks in his 60s, with a gray beard at the temples, slightly curved back, and empty Confucian robes.Pei Ziqi stared blankly, his face expressionless, and his footsteps froze on the spot.

Sun Hancheng patted him on the shoulder and said softly, "He should be waiting for you. If you don't want to deal with him, you can go with me."

Pei Ziqi shook his head: "You go first, I will go to the Criminal Department later."

Sun Hancheng sighed and left alone.Pei Ziqi put one hand in front of his abdomen, walking slowly.When he got to the carriage, the old man cupped his hands and saluted, "I've seen Mr. Pei."

Pei Ziqi turned his head to the side, his eyebrows slightly surprised: "Master Yun, why are you here?"

Yun Yizhong said with a smile: "The lowly officials speak lightly and don't usually see you. So I wait here every day for you. Today I am finally lucky enough to see you."

Pei Ziqi suddenly realized: "So that's the case, I don't know why Master Yun wants to ask me?"

Yun Yizhong bowed his waist, cupped his hands and said: "The granddaughter comes here for my humble position."

"Miss Yun?" Pei Ziqi frowned slightly, wondering: "If I remember correctly, Miss Yun is still Yun Ying's unmarried body, Mrs. Yun would not say that the kiss is coming. To be honest, I have long been thinking about it." If you belong, make an oath not to marry unless he is the one."

"No, no, I didn't come here for my granddaughter's wedding." Yun Yizhong said with a flattering smile: "Master Pei is a dragon and a phoenix among people. He can afford a humble job and dare not dream of marrying an adult. A few days ago, my granddaughter visited Qing'er's grave." I didn't expect to offend my lord because of this, but I hope my lord will forgive me."

Pei Ziqi was stunned, and explained: "Lord Yun, I'm afraid you have misunderstood. Recently, I have been ill, so I stayed in the humble house to recuperate. Until today, I am in good health, so I went to the palace to see Your Majesty. Although I I admire Mr. Yun, but the beauty has passed away, and my heart has already secretly promised others..." He paused, and then changed the subject: "Master Yun, let me say something inappropriate. I am afraid that my granddaughter will have to ask a doctor to take a good look at it, It’s okay to find someone to marry. You’re not too young, and it’s not appropriate for your granddaughter to keep you by your side.”

Yun Yizhong's complexion sank, and he disappeared in an instant. He said with a smile, "It seems that this is a misunderstanding. There must be someone who looks very similar to Mr. Pei, which made my granddaughter misunderstand. I am confused, I am not doing things properly, I hope you will forgive me."

Pei Ziqi smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Since Master Yun said so, then nothing happened to me, so I leave."

Yun Yizhong bowed his body and respectfully sent Pei Ziqi away.When the two separated, their expressions changed.One has a dignified face, the other has a distorted face, just like the one with an open mind and the other with a dark heart...

*******

In the house, a man stood in front of the table, on which was an unfinished picture scroll.In the painting, a man is holding a white chess piece, his eyebrows are slightly frowned, and the corners of his lips are slightly raised.He obviously looks distressed, but because of the upturned corners of his mouth, he is so confident, as if he is omnipotent.

A pair of eyes are black and white, and the end of the eyes is slightly raised.Looking at it for a moment, it is shining brightly, as if it has condensed the brilliance.He just stared at him like that, but the person who looked at him lost his soul and didn't know it, he was intoxicated by it and didn't want to wake up.

Outlined stroke by stroke, a painting gradually takes shape.The man is holding a writing brush, his eyebrows are smiling, and the corners of his lips are slightly raised.Suddenly, there were knocks on the door, and a man's voice came in: "Your Highness."

The man put down the brush, his smile disappeared, and he put the scroll aside: "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and a man in black entered the room with one leg on the ground: "Your Highness, I have already investigated Lord Zhou Xingzhou's past, and disclosed all the information I found to Lord Sun Hancheng."

The man said lightly: "That's good. In a few days' time, it will be the Queen Mother's birthday, and then you will hand over all Wanchengdan and others to Mu Xiaoshu."

"Yes, Your Highness." The man in black replied in a low voice: "There is one more matter, although it has nothing to do with His Highness's order, but I still want to inform His Highness. After Sun Hancheng got the news of Zhou Xing, he destroyed an old thing. "

"what's up?"

The man in black said truthfully: "Back then, Zhou Xing's wife and daughter contracted strange diseases. The imperial physicians went to see them, and they all said that Mr. Zhou should prepare for the funeral. Later, Mr. Zhou took his daughter and wife to a place in the suburbs of Beijing. The house is recovering from illness. After about half a year, Mrs. Zhou and Ms. Zhou's illnesses will never recover."

The man frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Have you checked Sun Hancheng's details?"

"This is exactly what I'm going to say next." The man in black reported, "Sun Hancheng, like Mr. Pei, came to the capital five years ago. After Sun Hancheng came to the capital, he didn't do a single thing. It’s just that every day on the road that Mr. Pei must pass, he set up a small stall to tell fortunes. Later, Mr. Pei asked Sun Hancheng for fortune-telling, and the two met and became friends.”

The man's pupils shrank slightly: "Where did Sun Hancheng come from before, why did he come to the capital?"

"The humble official found out that Sun Hancheng's ancestral home is Baiyue, the southernmost coastal area of ​​the Great Jin Dynasty. Baiyue is thousands of kilometers away from the capital, and it will take a month to reach the capital. Check it out." The man in black shyly said: "The prince has been doing this for decades, much better than us..."

The man interrupted: "What did Wang Fu find?"

"Eunuch Wang said that Sun Hancheng's household registration was forged, and even his name was not real." The man in black paused: "The method of forgery is so clever that even Eunuch Wang almost hid it from him, let alone us people. But Eunuch Wang said, if we can achieve this level, someone from the Ministry of Household Affairs should take action."

The man nodded and said, "Go and inform Wang Fu, and ask him to check Sheng Can, Minister of the Household Department."

"Mr. Sheng?" The man said in surprise, "Mr. Sheng is an upright official and acts upright. Is there any mistake in this..."

"Check!" The man said coldly: "You are not afraid of the shadow slanting. Since he is fine, what's the point of checking?"
