Liang Chen System [Rebirth]

Pei Ziqi was dumbfounded, and said after a while: "What did you say? Qin Guogong?"

Chen Yonghan slowly let go of his hands, sat on the ground weakly, and murmured with his head down: "It is precisely because I am the Duke of Qin that I have been reluctant to speak out. Duke Qin was admired all his life, and I don't want him to bear the stigma after his death." , if there is any crime, I will bear it."

Pei Ziqi said word by word: "Are you sure it's Qin Guogong?"

"Master Pei, you don't believe me?" Chen Yonghan straightened up in panic, and put his hands on the wooden railing: "I really didn't lie to you! When I was serving as the Minister of Rites, Qin Guogong privately sent someone to ask me for the imperial examination questions of that year. After he said it was done, he strongly recommended me to be Minister of the Ministry of Rites. At that time, I was obsessed with ghosts, so I peeked at the imperial examination questions and told Qin Guogong. Later, I really became the Minister of Rites. Since then, Qin Guogong will send people to ask for imperial examination questions almost every year. It was not until the death of Duke Qin five years ago that no one was sent over."

"Send someone?" Pei Ziqi frowned, his eyes flickering slightly: "You mean Duke Qin has been sending people to contact you, and he has never personally asked you for imperial examination questions?"

Chen Yonghan nodded: "Isn't this normal? Of course, this kind of thing is left to the servants. Duke Qin is a high-ranking official, and he is the biological father of the empress, so naturally he will not come here in person to leave any information."

Pei Ziqi thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Who did Qin Guogong send to find you? Is it the same person every year?"

"Zhong Jide, the steward of Duke Qin's mansion." Chen Yonghan thought for a while and said, "It's him every year, there is no one else." He paused, and only used a voice that could be heard by the two of them: "Lord Pei, I don't understand something. Apart from handing over the test questions to Qin Guogong, I never handed them over to anyone else, how did you know that I was selling imperial examination questions?"

Pei Ziqi's pupils shrank sharply, his mouth opened, and he was speechless for a while.After staying for a while, his expression returned to the original, he stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for letting me know." After speaking, he turned and strode away.

Chen Yonghan also stood up and said nervously: "Master Pei, I have already told you everything you want to know. My bird..."

Pei Ziqi stopped walking, and suddenly realized that he turned his head: "I almost forgot about it." He waved at Sun Hancheng: "Master Sun, return the bird to Master Chen quickly. Be gentle, don't hurt the bird." .”

Sun Hancheng let go of his hand, glanced at Pei Ziqi, and walked slowly with the bird cage.As soon as he arrived in front of the cell, Chen Yonghan passed through the gap in the wooden fence, snatched the birdcage, and hugged him tightly in his arms.He pursed his mouth in grievance, with tears in his eyes: "My Xiaocui, you have been wronged. I am useless, I didn't protect you well..."

An old man over fifty years old suddenly showed this look... Sun Hancheng and Pei Ziqi both shuddered in unison.Chen Yonghan lifted the bird cage with a piercing expression on his face: "My little darling, you look so thin. I must have suffered a lot when I wasn't by your side..."

Compared with Pei Ziqi's recovery, Sun Hancheng still looks demented.Pei Ziqi tugged on his sleeve, and then suddenly came back to his senses.He coughed twice and left with Pei Ziqi.When the two returned to the inner hall, he finally couldn't help it anymore: "There is nothing wrong with this Chen Yonghan, is he like that to a baby bird?"

Pei Ziqi poured himself a cup of tea, shook his head and said, "Do you know that there is a kind of people in this world who don't love beauty or wealth, but love this melodious voice."

Sun Hancheng was stunned, and sat opposite him and said: "That bird's cry seems to be very nice. However, we used his close relatives to threaten us before, and he didn't even look at us. Now for a bird, unexpectedly Everything has been recruited, this Mrs. Chen and Mr. Chen are really pathetic."

"For us, that sounds good." Pei Ziqi picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "For Chen Yonghan, it's extraordinary. This Chen Yonghan has a good voice since he was a child, but he has a bad face. At the beginning, he married Chen Yonghan. Madam just thinks that she has a good voice. But the good times don’t last long. Madam Chen suffered a serious illness and her voice was broken. Madam Chen is jealous by nature, and she forbids Chen Yonghan to take concubines, and makes the whole Chen family look like a butcher It's like a scene, it's unbearable. For Chen Yonghan, this Chen Mansion is hell, and life is better than death. Later, he raised this bird, and his life has hope, so this baby is tight."

Sun Hancheng nodded abruptly, and said again: "What did this Chen Yonghan tell you in the end? It's so mysterious, don't let me hear it."

Pei Ziqi put down his teacup, "I was just about to tell you about this." He hooked his fingers at Sun Hancheng, said with a smirk, "Catch someone for me."

Sun Hancheng hesitated for a while, and slowly leaned over.Pei Ziqi whispered: "The housekeeper of Duke Qin's mansion, Zhong Jide."

"Don't go!" Sun Hancheng circled his hands and said with disgust on his face: "The Duke of Qin's mansion is Ni Lin of His Majesty, and Zhong Jide is a member of the Duke of Qin's mansion. Whoever touches Ni Lin will die. His Majesty has always been like this, and he doesn't care about those things." Right or wrong."

Pei Ziqi was displeased, and tapped the table with his index finger: "Who told you to arrest people with a straight face? I asked you to find people secretly, without anyone noticing."

Sun Hancheng clicked his tongue twice, and said: "Pei Ziqi, Pei Ziqi, it's easy for you to say, you're not the one to arrest people. Besides, Chen Yonghan's wording has yet to be verified, who knows whether it is true or not."

Pei Ziqi was angry, and raised his head and said: "Sun Hancheng, can you listen to me first? Yunling was in Yun Yizhong's study, and once saw Yun Yizhong being very respectful to a servant. If this servant is from the Duke of Qin's mansion Butler Zhong Jide, then this matter can be justified."

It has been five years since the Empress and Duke Qin were born, and Emperor Luo still misses the Duke's Mansion every year.If there are any good things in the palace, they will send a copy to the Principality.In this capital city, only the Duke's Mansion can enjoy this honor to itself, and others can only watch helplessly.Not to mention, when Duke Qin and General Qin were alive, the grandeur and scenery of the Duke's mansion.

Six years ago, Yun Yizhong was already a servant of the Ministry of War, so there was no need to humble himself to a servant.But if this servant is the steward of Duke Qin's mansion, that's a different story.Although Zhong Jide is a housekeeper, many relatives of the royal family would fawn on him when they meet him.After all, it was the Duke's mansion that Emperor Luo was thinking of, even if Duke Qin was gone, the third prince would still be there.

Sun Hancheng was startled, opened his eyes wide and said, "You suspect that this matter has nothing to do with Duke Qin?"

"It's not suspicion, it's definitely nothing to do with Duke Qin." Pei Ziqi said firmly: "I was not in Beijing five years ago, and I knew that His Majesty listened to Duke Qin's words and deeds. If Duke Qin wants to know the imperial examination questions, please tell His Majesty." That's enough, why sneak around and ruin your reputation? Unless someone uses his name to make such a flirtatious hookup."

After thinking for a while, Sun Hancheng frowned and said, "You mean that Zhong Jide did it alone?"

Pei Ziqi smiled and said, "I'm afraid he's not the only one."

If he was just an outsider, why did Zhang Nan secretly send someone to protect him instead of eradicating the danger?Among them, there was probably one person who made Zhang Nan feel in a dilemma, and made him have to deal with this matter in this way.

Furthermore, the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet.He had already speculated about the intention of the birthday banquet, and the queen mother might want to use the birthday banquet as an excuse to keep someone, so she helped him.If it was Zhang Nan who caused this matter behind his back, and so coincidentally, he saw the person Zhang Nan was worried about at the birthday banquet.

He always remembers that memory when he was a child, that hideous face.In the past, he thought it was caused by vertigo, but now that he thinks about it, he is afraid that someone has hidden it too deeply, hiding it from the eyes of the world.

"There is a ghost in Duke Qin's mansion, and we cannot move this ghost." Pei Ziqi paused and said, "If we want to move him, we can only do so secretly. In a word, are you going to catch it?"

If Luo Di didn't want to move people, he couldn't move them no matter how hard he tried.For example, Zhou Xing, the evidence of the crime was in front of Luodi, and the last one returned home.He can bear all the previous things.But not this time, because of his father's death.Presumably, my father must have discovered something, so he was poisoned by someone.

"You've said that, can I not go?" Sun Hancheng took up his teacup and drank it in one gulp, then said slowly: "But, how are we going to catch it? Let's talk about it first, if you let me go to Qin Guogong's mansion to arrest people, I reject!"

Pei Ziqi looked at the empty teacup, shook his head and smiled: "If you walk too much at night, you will always see ghosts." He changed a teacup, and said: "Although Zhong Jide lives reclusively on weekdays, as the housekeeper of Duke Qin's mansion, he always We have to go to the government to buy it in a day or two, and we will do it at that time."

"It seems that you have already made plans, and you have even inquired about this properly." Sun Hancheng said, "Pei Ziqi, tell me the truth, how long have you been planning this? Are you waiting for me to take the bait? Let me tell you." , I’m a fiancée, so I can’t play my life like I used to.” The conversation changed, and he said again: “By the way, where should we arrest Zhong Jide and pass?”

Pei Ziqi grinned.As early as when Yunling told him, he had a guess in his mind.In recent days, don't look at him staying in Pei's mansion, in fact, he has been planning secretly.Because this time the opponent is not only a certain person but also Luo Di, and possibly Zhang Nan.He had to act well in this scene without showing any trace.

"The most dangerous place is the safest place." Pei Ziqi poured tea in an unhurried manner, "Catch the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Don't worry, I will take care of everything if something happens, and I won't hurt you of."

Sun Hancheng squinted and smiled: "You should keep your words in mind. If you get involved with me, you should be prepared in your heart."

Pei Ziqi just picked up the teacup, then immediately put it down and said, "With Sun Lu and Sun Gonggong here, are you still afraid of death?"

Sun Hancheng raised his eyebrows, and asked back: "You still have the third prince protecting you, why are you afraid of death? That's the emperor's son, the one who is most likely to inherit the throne in the future." Pei Ziqi opened his mouth to refute, and he quickly stretched out his hand Da Zhi: "Pei Ziqi, let me tell you the truth. If you touch this matter, you may die, and I may die too. No one can protect you. Do you want to continue?"

Pei Ziqi frowned, lowered his eyes and smiled and said: "I still say that, if I don't do it if I'm afraid of death, am I still Pei Ziqi?"

Sun Hancheng also smiled: "Give me some time, I will arrest people."
