"Criminal?" Pei Ziqi raised his eyebrows and said with a sneer, "May I ask Mr. Feng, what crime did I commit? Where is His Majesty's edict?"

Feng Jing moved his two stubby legs, and his fat body trembled slightly. "What crime?" He looked at Pei Ziqi with a sneer: "Of course it is the capital crime of beheading. The convict Du Qiong'er has pleaded guilty to the law and accused you of instigating her to murder His Highness the First Prince. Mr. Pei, no, Pei Ziqi. You If you are sensible, just obediently follow us. Otherwise, don't blame me for doing it."

Sun Hancheng looked at Pei Ziqi, and said with his eyes: You and Du Qiong'er joined forces to kill the eldest prince?

Pei Ziqi shook his head with a dazed expression: No, am I that stupid?

At the end of the short exchange, Pei Ziqi lifted the quilt, stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go with you. But let me say it earlier, I'm not familiar with Miss Du, let alone instigating the murder of the First Prince. "

Feng Jing snorted coldly: "Lord Pei should leave these words to Dali Temple. No one will listen to you here." He clasped his fists together, and said to Sun Hancheng: "Master Sun, the case of the murder of the eldest prince is a Your Majesty has indicated that Dali Temple will be the sole judge. I also hope that Lord Sun will cooperate and not get involved."

Sun Hancheng smiled: "There must be a rule in everything. Since Gaozu, all major cases have been jointly tried by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Yushitai and Dali Temple. Only Dali Temple alone The trial is afraid..."

Feng Jing laughed coldly, took out the imperial decree and said: "Lord Sun, take a good look, this is written by His Majesty himself."

Sun Hancheng took the imperial decree with both hands, and quickly browsed it, his face turned pale with astonishment.After reading it, he nodded slightly to Pei Ziqi.A few days ago, the eldest prince suddenly died of poison.Emperor Luo ordered Dali Temple to conduct a thorough investigation. After investigation, it was the eldest prince Du Qiong'er who killed him.

Now Du Qiong'er has been detained by Dali Temple.She has pleaded guilty and identified Pei Ziqi as an accomplice.Emperor Luo decreed that the case should be independently judged by Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Punishment and Yushitai should not intervene.

Pei Ziqi was taken aback for a moment, it seemed that Luo Di was determined to kill him by this matter.

"Since Mr. Sun has read the imperial decree, can you return the imperial decree?" Feng Jing spread his hands and released Sun Hancheng in front of him: "I am still waiting for the criminals to be taken with me in my lowly position. Return to Dali Temple and report quickly."

Sun Hancheng returned the imperial decree, smiled and said: "I have known Ziqi for many years. Maybe after today, I will never see him again." After a pause, he said: "I want to see him off. When we arrive at Dali Temple , I will leave on my own, and I will never interfere with you adults."

Feng Jing received the imperial decree, his brows were tightly frowned, and the flesh on his face was piled into a ball.He wished to kill Pei Ziqi to vent his hatred.Although his daughter Feng Yao was only the side concubine of the First Prince, she was deeply loved by the First Prince, and good news spread not long after entering the First Prince's residence.

This was originally a great happy event, but now it has fallen into such a field.She became a widow at a young age, and the child in her belly was gone.Remarriage is absolutely impossible, how will his daughter live in the future?This royal family is a place that eats people without spitting out their bones.

Thinking of this, my heart throbbed.Without Pei Ziqi's participation, how could that idiot Du Qiong'er kill the eldest prince?How capable Pei Ziqi is, he has personally experienced it.His daughter can become the empress concubine, thanks to Pei Ziqi's help.

But he also understood that although Pei Ziqi had fallen, Sun Hancheng was still the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.His official position is not as high as that of Sun Hancheng, and his daughter does not have the support of the eldest prince... He loosened his brows and suppressed his anger: "As long as Mr. Sun does not interfere with the work, please do as you please." He raised his hand and said, "Come on, Detain Pei Ziqi and take him back to Dali Temple."

The two jailers agreed and walked towards Pei Ziqi holding the iron chain.Heavy iron chains were fastened on hands and feet, and two guards held Pei Ziqi one behind the other.Sun Hancheng stood up, strode to his side, and said in a voice audible to two people: "I will find a way to save you. You must bear it, and you cannot plead guilty."

Pei Ziqi nodded, and heard the system say again: "Qiqi, the headquarters hasn't fully upgraded me yet. You are pregnant now, so I may not be able to take care of you so much..."

Pei Ziqi interrupted it: "It's okay. You just need to protect the child, I can handle it."

Sun Hancheng selected some people to protect Pei Ziqi's side.Be careful when sailing for ten thousand years, Pei Ziqi is now in double body, so as not to let anyone take the opportunity to act as a monster.Feng Jing turned a blind eye, just stepped into the carriage, and said: "Take care of Pei Ziqi, don't let him run away."

Sun Hancheng was stunned, and frowned: "Master Feng, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean? I came here in a hurry today, and I forgot to bring the prison car." Feng Jing smiled, his eyes narrowed into lines, and the cheeks on both sides trembled. Going in a carriage? Of course I’m going to Dali Temple on foot.”

"You..." Sun Hancheng pointed at Feng Jing, his fingers trembling slightly.The Ministry of Justice is more than an hour away from Dali Temple.He said: "You forgot to bring the prison cart. The Criminal Department has plenty of prison carts. I don't mind lending them to Dali Temple."

"Thank you, Mr. Sun, for your kindness." Changing the subject, Feng Jing said: "It's just that this matter is so important that a lowly official can't do it lightly. The humble official has to ask Mr. Chen for instructions, and Mr. Chen agrees." He waved his hand as he spoke. , loudly said: "On the road!"

Sun Hancheng clenched his hands into fists, his eyes darkened as he looked at the carriage.Pei Ziqi shook his head at him, Sun Hancheng was taken aback, and slowly let go of his hand.This is just the beginning, there is no need to make the relationship so stiff now.

Sun Hancheng gritted his teeth and said: "Feng Jing, the son of a bitch, thanks to you for helping his daughter become a concubine. Now that you are in trouble, he actually treats you like this."

Pei Ziqi shook his head and laughed: "I'm afraid he really thought that I conspired with Du Qiong'er to kill the eldest prince and make his daughter a widow." What happened? From what I know of Du Qiong'er, wealth and wealth are more important than her life. It is unusual for her to kill the First Prince and ruin wealth and wealth."

Sun Hancheng was stunned, and said, "Okay, I'll check."

The jailer cleared the way, and the bustling street gave way to a straight road, with crowds of people moving and whispering on both sides.A scholar whispered, "Hey, that prisoner looks like Pei Ziqi Pei..."

An old man hurriedly interrupted him: "Hey, young man, you can't talk nonsense. Lord Pei is deeply trusted by His Majesty, how could he be reduced to a prisoner? Before Lord Du Chundu impeached Lord Pei, he had his head chopped off .”

The man's face turned pale and he stopped talking.The man on the side was more courageous, and said suspiciously: "The one standing next to the prisoner seems to be Mr. Sun Hancheng and Mr. Sun. Aren't Mr. Sun and Mr. Pei close friends for many years? Then this prisoner..."

"God has eyes!" A big man took the lead and spit out: "The treacherous minister Pei Ziqi has finally fallen! His head should have been chopped off a long time ago. Look at how many things he has done in disregard of the king's law!"

As soon as a word fell, the whole street boiled up, and there was a lot of chatter.An old man burst into tears: "Your Majesty is wise, you have seen the true face of this treacherous minister! The state of Jin has been saved."

Those scholars were even more excited, their cheeks flushed with excitement.One of the scholars said: "This Pei Ziqi has never done anything that harmed the country and the people. Many adults in Beijing have been brutally murdered by him. Although he was able to subdue the law today, it is a pity for those good ministers who died tragically."

After the ecstasy, the seven words and eight words aroused raging anger.A [-]-year-old boy was so furious that he smashed Pei Ziqi with a rotten egg, his eyes bursting with uncontrollable anger. With a bang, the egg fell, and the boy opened his eyes wide, and the anger in his eyes turned into panic.He quickly knelt down and fell on the ground trembling.

The noisy street immediately quieted down.Sun Hancheng stood in front of Pei Ziqi, his robe was covered with egg juice, and there was a rancid smell.Sun Hancheng said nervously, "Are you okay?"

Pei Ziqi opened his mouth, but shook his head.

Sun Hancheng turned around and looked at the young man with red eyes.He said: "Come here, arrest him for me. Attack the court order..."

"He's still a child." Pei Ziqi said softly.

"Child?" Sun Hancheng turned his head and said word by word: "You became an official at the age of 15, and you tried your best to provoke a corrupt court. At the same age, you are serving the government and the people, and he is venting his anger on you with rotten eggs! "

Pei Ziqi looked directly at Sun Hancheng, and said very calmly: "So, I am a scholar of Diange University, and he is just a commoner."

The advancing procession stopped suddenly, stuck in the middle of the street.Feng Jing lifted the curtain of the car, stuck out his head to have a look, and said, "Why don't you leave? Master Sun, no matter how angry you are, you must not hinder your official duties."

Sun Hancheng snorted at the young man, and raised his hand to signal that it was over.The team continued to move forward, Sun Han said in a low voice: "Aren't you chilling?"

Pei Ziqi smiled, looked at him and said, "What's so chilling? It's unfair? They don't know anything." He looked at the sky and murmured: "Those who know are unfair, but we can hope that those who don't know are fair." ?"

Sun Hancheng was startled: "You will be fine."

Pei Ziqi stroked his stomach, smiled slightly, and his eyes became firm: "Yes, I will be fine, I must be fine!"
