Pei Ziqi turned his head, smiled at Sun Hancheng and said, "Look, how calm and easy you are. I almost wondered if we wronged him." At this moment, the smile disappeared suddenly, and his tone became colder: "Butler Zhong , Mr. Chen Yonghan accused you of using the name of Qin Guogong to ask him for imperial examination questions for many years, can you admit it?"

After a word fell, silence prevailed, and the darkness roamed wantonly, revealing a gloomy and cold atmosphere.After a while, the old voice sounded again: "Since the two adults intend to slander you, it is useless for the younger one to say more."

Pei Ziqi picked up his cuffs, and said calmly: "Butler Zhong, don't worry, just wait for me to speak. This is just one, and the second is that Zhong used Zhong to identify you as a collaborator and traitor, so he planned Yunjin Vanguard and thousands of soldiers, Can you admit it?"

There was a loud 'bang', obviously the sound of hitting the wooden fence.

"It's fine for the adults to slander the small ones for asking for the imperial examination questions, and the small ones are blocking the way of some people." The tone changed, and he said: "But such a serious crime as collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, the small ones must never Accept it. I have been favored by Duke Qin for more than forty years, but I have never learned the four words of 'loyalty to the emperor and love the country'."

Pei Ziqi sneered, shook his head and said, "Butler Zhong is a funny person, and his words are really funny. As the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs. You are being slandered one after another, right? To say something unpleasant, Steward Zhong, you are a servant. Is it worthwhile for two court officials to slander you at the same time?" He winked at Sun Hancheng and said: "Forget it, it seems that today I can't ask What's the matter. Let's take our leave first, and wait for Steward Zhong to think about it before asking." Then, he and Sun Hancheng turned around together.

"Wait, two adults." The old voice was a little hurried.

Pei Ziqi paused, turned his head and said, "What's the matter? Butler Zhong figured it out?"

"The villain knows his fate is not long, but Qin Taijun treats the villain like a relative. The villain can't bear the Taijun to worry about the villain, and hopes that the adult will report a letter to the Qin family. The villain is grateful."

After a short silence, Pei Ziqi grinned, and said, "Butler Zhong, you finally told us the truth." As he said that, he strode away with Sun Hancheng, not looking back no matter how much he shouted.

As soon as the two of them got out of the prison, Pei Ziqi said to Sun Hancheng: "I'm going back home first. Keep an eye on it, don't let Zhong Jide escape."

Sun Hancheng blinked his eyes, a little dumbfounded: "You have been in the Ministry of Criminal Justice for less than an hour, and you are going back with a yell? You just came to take a look."

Pei Ziqi took it for granted, "What am I, a Diange scholar, staying in the Ministry of Criminal Justice for? Besides, there are serious things waiting for me in my house." He patted Sun Hancheng on the shoulder: "I'll go back first, you don't have to Send it off." After speaking, he walked towards the stables, ignoring the shouts behind him...

*******

In the backyard, two rows of ginkgo trees are bare, with sparse ginkgo leaves hanging and swaying in the wind.There are thick ginkgo leaves on the ground, which are golden in the sunlight.Two men are located under the ginkgo tree, one standing tall and tall, the other kneeling on one leg and bowing his head.

A gray and white cloak was draped over his shoulders, and his black hair was spread along the cloak behind him.Zhang Nan looked at the corridor and said, "Is there any movement in Qin Gong's mansion?"

The man in black clasped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness, Zhong Jide, butler Zhong was arrested by Sun Hancheng and imprisoned by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. Qin Taijun is sending people to look for Butler Zhong. Sun Hancheng's methods are very clever, and the Taijun's people can't find Zhong Jide's trace. , There is another force that is also looking for Butler Zhong."

A ginkgo leaf danced in the air, Zhang Nan reached out and grabbed it: "What did they find?"

"They have already gone to the Ministry of Punishment, and they seem to want to rob the prison and rescue Zhong Jide." The man in black lowered his head and said, "It's just that Sun Hancheng is not easy, and the power behind him is equal to them. The two sides have fought against each other several times, but neither of them can get any benefits. So it’s been put on hold.”

"Send someone to help Sun Hancheng." Zhang Nan let go of his hand, and the ginkgo leaf slowly fell: "It doesn't need to be too obvious, just let him know."

"Ah?" The man in black raised his head and said in surprise, "Your Highness, are we going to fight against the Taijun? She belongs to His Highness..."

"I know." Zhang Nan turned around and said slowly: "She is my maternal grandmother and grandfather's wife. But this matter does not matter who is close or distant, just follow my orders."

The man in black was startled for a moment, cupped his hands and said, "The humble official takes orders, this is..."

Zhang Nan interrupted him, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise: "Wait a minute, Ziqi is back."

The man in black froze for a moment, then lowered his head respectfully.After a while, footsteps came in a hurry, and a tall figure broke into sight.Pei Zi Qi Can came with a smile, his steps were brisk and vigorous.When his eyes touched the man in black beside him, his eyes flickered involuntarily.

He walked over as if nothing had happened, and put his arms around Zhang Nan's waist, as if he said inhumanely: "Why are you waiting for me in the backyard again? Didn't I say that, I went and came back. It's almost the twelfth lunar month, and the cold wind is biting. You are a bone Well, I won't allow you to be so foolish."

Amber eyes were shining with gentle waves, Zhang Nan held his hand and said softly: "I'm fine. It's you who have to go out and run around in such a cold day."

Pei Ziqi let go of his waist, pretending to be dissatisfied and said: "Isn't that right, a lot of things are waiting for me. In two days, I will go into the palace to see Your Majesty."

Zhang Nan smiled slightly: "I will go with you. By the way, let the emperor decree to give us a marriage."

Pei Ziqi hurriedly said: "Don't, don't, His Majesty never likes me. If you ask for a marriage order, His Majesty will have to cut me off. After two days, it's better for me to enter the palace by myself."

Zhang Nan was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips and said, "Ziqi, we already have..."

"Stop, stop." Pei Ziqi blushed, hurriedly pressed Zhang Nan's lips, and looked at the man in black beside him: "There are still outsiders."

Zhang Nan smiled in amazement, grabbed Pei Ziqi's hand, and held it tightly in his palm.He turned his head, his smile disappeared suddenly, and he said to the man in black, "Take off the mask."

Pei Ziqi looked at Zhang Nan with wide eyes, full of surprise.

Zhang Nan smiled softly, and explained: "I told you once, when your injury recovers, I will introduce him to you, and he will be at your disposal from now on. I'm not talking casually to fool you, but I don't want to spoil the recent atmosphere. , and dragged this matter until today.”

"You..." Pei Ziqi opened his mouth with a very serious expression: "It's too late for you to regret it now." He lowered his eyes, looked away, and said softly: "Business is business, and private affairs are private. You don't have to do it because of us." If you don’t have any relationship, just show me all the cards.”

"Let me tell you, it's because I completely trust you and recognize you that I entrust my family and life to you." Zhang Nan shook his head lightly, stretched out his hand to pick up Pei Ziqi's messy hair: "It's business or private. Anyway, you have the right to know everything about me."

Pei Ziqi suddenly raised his eyes, stared at Zhang Nan, and remained silent for a long time.After a while, he smiled and said, "I understand. If I have a chance, I will tell you everything."

Zhang Nan smiled, his brows filled with tenderness.

Zhang Nan was happy, but the system yelled, "Pei Ziqi, you have to calm down! You can't get carried away by love, you will be punished for betraying the system."

Pei Ziqi: "What punishment?"

The system fell silent, and said weakly: "Deduct the points." He immediately cheered up and said emphatically, "Don't underestimate the points! Without the points, I can't open a cheat for you."

Pei Ziqi: "Oh, buckle it up. With Zhang Nan here, what do I need your cheats for?"

"..." System: "Qi Qi, do you think I'm not as useful as the Third Prince?"

Pei Ziqi smiled, and said softly, "Good boy, it's good that you understand."

system:"……"

Pei Ziqi looked at the man in black, opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak for a while.He pointed at the man in black, dumbfounded: "You are... the big man who called Zhang Nan back to Beijing for His Majesty last time in the suburbs of Beijing!"

He was on vacation in the suburbs of Beijing a few months ago, and it was this big man who went to the suburbs of Beijing to summon Zhang Nan back to Beijing.He still remembered that the big man knelt on the ground with the thorns on his back, his entire back was bright red.In that situation, the big man easily helped him carry the wild boar and walked briskly...

The man in black clasped his hands and promised: "Master Pei has a good memory, it is a humble position. However, the humble position has resigned from the official position long ago, and now he is dedicated to serving His Highness wholeheartedly." He also said: "The humble position Xu Xingchuan, from now on he will be sent by Mr. Pei. If he offended Your Excellency before, I also hope that Mr. Pei will forgive me a lot."

Zhang Nan Wensheng explained: "Xu Xingchuan is good at reconnaissance. My father took a fancy to his ability and ordered him to find me and return to Beijing. He didn't break into the cabin on purpose, and he won't go there again in the future."

Pei Ziqi suddenly came back to his senses, waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. It's His Majesty's order, and it's really hard to refuse."

"If you want to know something or something, just ask him to do it. His ability to inquire about the news in Beijing is enough, and it doesn't matter if you entrust him with other things." Zhang Nan took out a small tube of fireworks from his arms : "If you can't find him, take this fireworks as your belief. When he sees it, he will take the initiative to find you."

Pei Ziqi took the fireworks, raised his eyebrows and said, "What if he can't see it?"

Xu Xingchuan raised his hand to apologize, and Lang Lang said: "Don't worry, Mr. Pei, His Highness's eyeliner is all over the capital. As long as you set off the fireworks, I will definitely know about it."

Pei Ziqi smiled, and put the fireworks into his bosom: "Then these fireworks are precious. I have to hide them well, and don't let others steal them, and it will cause trouble."

Zhang Nan shook his head and laughed, his smile was extremely doting.He stretched out his hand to hug Pei Ziqi into his arms, and moved his gaze to Xu Xingchuan.Xu Xingchuan immediately made a clear signal, stood up respectfully, cupped his fists, and flew away...

As soon as Xu Xingchuan left, Pei Ziqi poked Zhang Nan's hard chest, and said, "Okay, my eyes are all over the capital. Say, are you ready to seek the position of crown prince?"

Zhang Nan held his hand, and his smile suddenly faded a little.He shook his head: "I have no intention of being on the throne. Everything I do is to protect you, my father, my second brother..." The last two words are almost inaudible, like an illusion.

Pei Ziqi was startled, and leaned against Zhang Nan's arms, and slowly closed his eyes...
