Everyone hurried to the backyard, and as soon as they entered, they heard a terrible cry, and then saw a woman running out of the happy house with her hair disheveled.

Everyone looked at it, the woman was dressed in gorgeous bridal clothes, red and bright colors, and it became more and more that her face did not have the slightest blood, only two deep cyan streaks were left on her snow-white neck, which clearly showed everyone what terrible abuse she had received, she flew out like a piece of paper in the wind, as if she had just escaped from the ghost gate, and threw herself into the prince's arms and cried silently: "Brother prince, help!" Help me! ”

Everyone was taken aback, and went to look at the woman carefully, and saw that her pear blossoms brought rain, but she did not hide her appearance, who is it not Princess Shouchun?

The prince said angrily: "Shouchun, today is your day of great joy, what kind of appearance is this!" Don't wipe away your tears! Princess Shouchun glanced at the prince in shock, and subconsciously took two steps back, at this time the princess's nurse happened to come in from outside, and the princess immediately shrank in the nurse's arm like a kitten and trembled, moved her lips, muttered the word "help", and looked at the prince with resentful eyes, and burst into tears.

When the prince saw that everyone's eyes were burning, he knew that there was no way to hide it, so he asked, "What happened, you tell me carefully!" ”

Shou Chun pointed to the direction of the new house and said sadly: "He...... He suddenly went crazy and pounced on me to strangle me! ”

When Pei Fan saw this situation, he was extremely surprised, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The princess is frightened, I'm going to teach this rebel a lesson!" With that, he had rushed into the door quickly, and then closed the door of the new house with his backhand, preventing everyone from looking.

Li Weiyang sneered, Pei Fan's fundamental purpose in doing this was to cover up what happened in the new house, but unfortunately now everyone heard Princess Shouchun say this, what's the use of making amends, don't you think it's too late?

Princess Shouchun's sideburns were loosened, her hair was scattered, and she was supported by the nurse, and her pale pink cheeks were crying all over the place, and the tears were rippling, and she looked terrified to the extreme, and she couldn't take care of her demeanor at all.

Pei Bi stood quietly aside, but didn't look at anyone, his eyes only fell on Li Weiyang's body, and there seemed to be a slight hint of mockery in his expression. Among all of them, he was the first to realize what was going on, and he was also the first to react, but he knew that he had fallen into the trap of his opponent at this moment, and he could only stand still for the time being.

Li Weiyang noticed his gaze, but he just smiled at him lightly, not paying much attention.

Everyone only heard Princess Shouchun crying and crying: "Brother Prince, you must be the master for me!" ”

When the prince saw that Shouchun's snow-white cheeks still had clear five finger marks, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and said sharply: "What the hell is going on? What about the palace maids around you? ”

Princess Shouchun's fingers were trembling, and she trembled: "It's all dead, dead!" They rushed in to save me, and they were killed by that madman! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were shocked, if they thought that Pei Hui would be rude to the princess because he was drunk just now, and now he even killed the palace maid next to the princess, this is definitely not as simple as being drunk and rude! Jing Wang Yuanying stepped forward, grabbed Princess Shouchun's arm and said, "Shouchun, what did you just say?" Repeat again. ”

Princess Shouchun couldn't cry and said: "I don't know what's going on, just now it was fine, but he seemed to be drunk, lost his temper in the new house, smashed everything, and suddenly pounced, I saw that he looked wrong and hurriedly wanted to escape, but he didn't care, he came up and choked my neck, don't believe it, you see!" Saying that, Princess Shouchun revealed the scar on her neck. In fact, if she doesn't do this, her scars are also very obvious, and no one can ignore them. "Then my palace maids heard the sound and rushed in to save me, but he actually beat people to death with a golden bottle......"

The prince's heart was furious, and he couldn't help but blame Pei Hui to the extreme, it's okay to be drunk and crazy on the wedding night, but hurting the princess is a big crime, not to mention that he even killed the palace maid next to the princess, how could the emperor spare such a crime! It's just daring! Thinking of the emperor's love for Princess Shouchun on weekdays, the prince understood that he had to appease her now, and hurriedly said: "Shouchun, now that so many guests are here, you should take care of the overall situation, don't cry, lest the royal family lose face......"

What kind of face does this care about, and your life is going to be lost! Is it possible to let her swallow her anger and marry this madman! Princess Shouchun was completely shocked, and she shook her head again and again: "No! I don't want to marry this madman, I want to go back to the palace, I want to go back to the palace now! As she spoke, she shook off the prince's hand and wept so much that her face was pale.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to say much about the royal affairs, and more people cast snooping eyes at the new house. And King Jing sneered and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that the princess has suffered such a great humiliation, do you still want to force her to marry Pei Hui? ”

Of course, the crown prince knew that this marriage would not be completed, and the top priority now was to reduce Pei Hui's guilt and not implicate the entire Pei family, so he looked at Yuan Ying and said very calmly: "King Jing misunderstood, of course I have my intentions." Everyone knows that Shouchun has always been pampered by his father, and his temper is also very pampered, he can't stand a little grievance, and the big thing of sesame is said by her to be very general, this is all married, but it is just a little friction, can he still go back to the palace? Is she a child's play in this marriage? ”

Emphasizing Princess Shouchun's delicate and willful nature can alleviate Pei Hui's crime, otherwise he intends to murder the princess, which the Pei family can't afford to bear, and the prince is trying to cover up the past with drunken immorality.

At this time, Qi Guogong said coldly: "The prince's words are wrong! If what Princess Shouchun said is true, this Pei Gongzi is suspected of attempting to murder the princess, and in full view of everyone, His Royal Highness the Prince is too partial to the Pei family! ”

The crown princess on the side was not in a hurry, and said in a steady tone: "Qi Guogong, what do you mean by this?" People often say that it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage! You can't deliberately destroy other people's marriages just because you have always had a dislike for the Pei family, Princess Shouchun is young and ignorant, you are an elder, so you are naturally regarded as an old peacemaker, how can you say such strict words? ”

Pei Bi just looked at Li Weiyang, in the crowd, her skin was as white as snow, her eyes were calm, her jaw was delicate, and her lips were slightly pursed, no matter how she looked at it, she looked like an ordinary aristocratic daughter, but no one would have thought that today's Qiē had something to do with her. Pei Bi just wants to know, how did she move her hands?

Facing the question of the crown princess, Qi Guogong smiled faintly and said: "I am all for the sake of Her Royal Highness the princess, not to mention that this marriage is a gift from His Majesty, and now that something has happened, of course I have to return to His Majesty and ask him to make a ruling." Saying that, he waved his hand and said loudly: "Lord Jing Zhaoyin, please go and invite that Pei Gongzi out immediately and ask one or two!" ”

Jing Zhaoyin stood up, but he was bitter in his heart, he was supposed to attend a wedding banquet in a good manner, who knew that such a thing would happen, not to mention that this matter was not trivial, and it involved the princess of the dynasty, everyone was staring at him, he didn't dare to push, and hurriedly ordered the humanitarian: "Go to the new house and invite that Pei Gongzi out of the house!" "What he said was to please come out, not tie it up, which is very meaningful. His attendants understood, and immediately went up and knocked on the door of the new house, but they did not move.

Fu knocked three more times before the door opened, Pei Hui walked out with a pale face, and the wedding clothes on his body were also unbearable, and when he crossed the threshold, he stumbled violently and almost fell to the ground. Behind him was Pei Fan, Pei Fan was very angry on his face, the two walked to the court together, Pei Fan suddenly kicked Pei Hui's leg bone fiercely, Pei Hui was stunned and knelt down in front of Princess Shouchun.

Pei Fan scolded loudly: "You shouldn't be so presumptuous after drinking a few glasses of wine, you actually frightened the princess, you can't atone for your sins!" Don't you kowtow to Her Royal Highness the princess? ”

Pei Hui's face was very pale, and there seemed to be a flush on his face that had not faded, but his eyes had gradually become clearer, and he was reminded by Pei Fan, and immediately woke up, and said loudly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, it's all my fault today, please don't blame it!" As he spoke, he slammed his head on the ground three times, and his forehead turned blue.

Princess Shouchun seemed to be greatly frightened, and stepped back step by step: "No, you stay away from me, stay away from me!" In the end, the voice was almost like a scream, and King Jing hurriedly protected Princess Shouchun behind him, and Shouchun was still trembling.

When everyone heard this voice, they could not help but feel pity, and some noble ladies had already gone to the princess's side to gently comfort her.

Pei Hui gritted his teeth, almost maddened with hatred, he didn't know why such a thing happened, and he didn't know how he suddenly lost control, if it weren't for Pei Fan rushing in just now to stop his crazy behavior, he was afraid that even the entire new house would be destroyed.

Yuan Lie said in a light voice: "If Pei Gongzi is just offended, why did he even kill the four palace maids beside Her Royal Highness the Princess?" What kind of offense would endanger the princess's life, it's also terrible. Saying that, everyone looked into the house, although Pei Fan had deliberately moved the body to an invisible place just now to avoid letting everyone see it, but the situation was urgent, he had no way to deal with it all, but there was still a big pool of blood on the ground, obviously what Princess Shouchun said was true, the four palace maids were killed by Pei Hui in order to protect her.

When everyone saw this situation, they couldn't help but look at the Pei family angrily, the groom official did this, and there was only one family in the world. If the Pei family is either bold or rebellious, otherwise how could they kill a delicate princess? There are many people who are immoral after drinking, and they have never seen the bride killed on their wedding night!

Jing Wang Yuanying smiled faintly and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the facts are clearly in front of you, what else do you say is just drunken and immoral?" Do you want to see the blood of Emperor Shouchun splashed on the spot with your own eyes, and then you are willing to report it to your father? ”

The crown prince looked at everyone's eyes, their eyes were filled with horror and condemnation, if he didn't report to the emperor and take Princess Shouchun back to the palace to solve the matter carefully, it would affect himself. Thinking of this, he immediately said decisively: "Since this is the case, please ask Lord Jing Zhaoyin to put Pei Hui in the prison first, and then let me report to my father and wait for his ruling!" ”

King Jing smiled slightly and said: "In this way, it seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is righteous and wise." ”

The prince's face did not change at all, and he said with a calm expression: "With a good brother like you by my side to supervise me at all times, of course I will do it impartially and fairly." As he spoke, he smiled indifferently. Then he waved his hand heavily and said, "What are you still looking at here?" It's all gone! With that, he walked out first.

Pei Hui was still struggling, and was kicked hard by Pei Fan again, Pei Fan said sharply: "Your Majesty will naturally give you a fair ruling, you go with Lord Jing Zhaoyin first!" Pei Hui was stunned, and then looked at his eldest brother Pei Bi, who just nodded to him gently. Pei Hui relieved himself and followed Jing Zhaoyin.

Princess Shouchun was still trembling in place, and King Jing comforted her softly: "Shouchun, the imperial brother will send you back to the palace, let's go." ”

Shouchun's face was still frightened, when she walked past the Pei family, that kind of resentful look was really unforgettable, seeing that she was frightened like this, she would rather die than get married.

Everyone talked for a while, and sighed. Today's play is so surprising that until now, I thought it was a dream, and no one was able to calm down. Seeing that now that the protagonists are gone, everyone is also walking out, Li Weiyang is at the end, but he heard a person next to him laughing softly: "Miss Guo is really capable, but I'm curious, how did you move your hands and feet to the new house?" ”

Li Weiyang didn't need to look to know that the person next to him was the eldest son of the Pei family, Pei Bi. Her voice was slightly deep, and she seemed a little cold: "Well, don't worry about it." "Since you can do it in the Chen family, what's wrong with me using the Pei family and Princess Shouchun?

Pei Bi smiled softly, a cluster of flames faintly jumped in his eyes, but his tone was very light, "Seeing that Miss Guo is so confident, are you sure that my second brother is dead?" ”

Li Weiyang smiled, and said with a quiet expression: "This matter is very important, presumably His Majesty will be handed over to the prince, the criminal department, and Jing Zhaoyin for tripartite trial, if the eldest prince Pei has the ability, he will find out the flaws in this matter for the groom official, maybe there will be a glimmer of life." I advise you not to waste time on me, and think about how to save your second brother. Her tone was very calm, but the words were like knives, and they actually hit people's hearts directly.

Pei Bi sighed softly and said, "To tell you the truth, I already guessed that you would do it today, and I also knew that you would take advantage of those toasting guests, so I had already taken precautions...... But after a hundred secrets, you still succeeded. I really want to know, how exactly do you do that. ”

Li Weiyang smiled slightly and said, "This point, I will leave it to Master Pei to think slowly." It's time for me to take my leave. In the moonlight, her eyes shone brightly, and her brows were secretly teased, and then she turned her head and walked out quickly.

When King Xu Yuanlie passed by Pei Bi with a smile, he glanced back at him, and said with a more kind smile: "Master Pei, it doesn't seem to be in a good mood, I heard that this wedding banquet was organized by you, I don't know how you feel now?" His voice was very brisk, but it implied a vicious sarcasm, if he changed others, he was afraid that he would vomit blood on the spot.

And Pei Bi just said with the same expression: "His Royal Highness King Xu is really nosy, and you are there in everything." "If there is no stop from him on the martial arts training ground that day, I am afraid that between Chen Hanxuan and Guo Dao, one person will die on the spot, and then the Chen family and the Guo family will have a big hatred.

Yuan Lie smiled lightly, with endless ridicule in that smile, he said slowly: "So, everything has a cause and must have an effect, if you didn't start with Director Guo first, why would Jia'er do it to you?" You have to endure this cycle of cause and effect. ”

Pei Bi didn't take it to heart, and said calmly: "If I go back to that time, I will still do this, even if I know that it will lead to revenge, this is the fate of everyone, no wonder others." But His Royal Highness King Xu should not be too happy, this matter may not be without a turnaround. ”

Yuan Lie smiled slightly, said no more, and walked out quickly.

Li Weiyang was in front of the carriage of Guo's mansion, the cold wind was blowing, her clothes were slightly raised, her eyebrows were bright, and there was a smear of rosy on her cheeks, which was extremely moving. Yuan Lie looked at her and couldn't help but think that when he saw her for the first time, her expression was so calm, as if nothing could move her heart, even when she was stabbing the enemy, she was also so indifferent, without the slightest emotion. But for the sake of the Guo family, she has been moved several times. His heart moved slightly, and he strode forward, and said with a gentle face: "Are you waiting for me?" ”

Li Weiyang raised his head, looked at him, and smiled: "Yes, I have been waiting for you." ”

Yuan Lie smiled: "Is there anything I need to do?" ”

Li Weiyang nodded and said, "I heard that you have arranged spies everywhere, so there must be a way in the prison." ”

Yuan Lie paused, looked at Li Weiyang and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Li Weiyang smiled kindly, and said in a crisp and tactful voice: "Pei Hui is in prison today, according to the usual practice, there will be a tripartite trial in ten days, and then the prince and Pei Bi will naturally catch a lot of horses' feet, and the only way is to block Pei Hui's mouth." ”

Yuan Lie thought for a while and said, "Are you saying that you will strike first in prison and kill Pei Hui?" ”

Li Weiyang smiled lightly, shook his head and said, "Isn't it too cheap to kill him?" Moreover, if he died in prison, it would be even more suspicious, so the best way to do it was to make him confess his guilt. ”

Yuan Lie looked at Li Weiyang and said with a smile: "Pei Hui is such a tenacious character, how can he confess his guilt lightly?" ”

Li Weiyang pursed his lips and smiled, but his tone was very calm: "No matter how tenacious your personality is, there will definitely be weaknesses." ”

Yuan Lie looked at her, his expression was three points more interesting, and said, "Oh, are you so sure?" ”

Under the moonlight, Yuan Yeol's smile looked very brilliant and dazzling. Li Weiyang said with a smile: "Since I dare to do it, I am naturally sure of everything." As she spoke, she handed Yuan Lie a letter and said in a low voice, "Follow the steps above, I promise, he will say anything." ”

Yuan Lie took the book slip, and when he touched it lightly, he knew that it was just a fluttering piece of paper inside, and he couldn't help but say, "I'm also curious, how did you do it today?" Did you do it in the toasting glass? When I saw that Pei Hui first came out, his expression was a little wrong. ”

Li Weiyang said lightly: "Yes, just before that Pei Hui came out, that Pei Fan had already rushed in first, presumably trying to make Pei Hui return to normal." In fact, the real place I started was on the son of the Cui Mansion, who always liked to wear incense sachets, which would cause people to hallucinate violently when they encountered the pollen of the nightshade——"

When Yuan Lie heard this, his face showed a little surprise and said, "Cui Shiyun? ”

Li Weiyang nodded, but there was a slight sneer on his face: "Yes, it is that Cui Gongzi, if there is really any mistake, it is the Cui family that is responsible, not our Guo Mansion." Dare to love that only Pei Bi in this world will borrow a knife to kill? Can't I? ”

Yuan Lie looked at her in surprise: "That...... Where is the pollen of nightshade? ”

"Well, thank you for Princess Shouchun's cooperation." Li Weiyang said, his smile deepened. Yuan Lie was an extremely smart person, and he immediately understood, and said softly: "I see. ”

Of course, if it weren't for the cooperation of Princess Shouchun, how could this matter be so simple? It's just that Princess Shouchun didn't want to help Li Weiyang, but because the object of her affection was the Zhanqiu who was defeated for no reason. The girl's thoughts, I'm afraid even the emperor can see it, otherwise how could he let Zhan Qiu enter the game, Li Weiyang just asked Concubine Hui to sigh in front of the princess that life is impermanent, youth is fleeting, say a pity, say a word of mercy, a qiē naturally comes naturally...... However, this is also thanks to the fact that although Princess Shouchun is jealous of Empress Pei, she is also deeply favored by the emperor, if it weren't for this, she would never have such a disobedient behavior.

Anyone who is a little similar to the person in the past, the emperor will give mercy without thinking, this is a wonderful empathy, and what Princess Shouchun did was just to strive for happiness in life.

Yuan Lie smiled lightly, turned around and got on the horse, waved his hand to Li Weiyang, and said, "Don't worry." Under the moonlight, his smile deepened and his face was handsome, which made Li Weiyang feel in a trance for a moment. When she returned to the carriage, she met Mrs. Guo's surprised face.

Li Weiyang smiled lightly and said, "Mother, don't blame me, I'm avenging the fifth brother." ”

Mrs. Guo naturally understood what she meant, she was just a little worried: "I'm just afraid that the prince will find a way to help Pei Hui retract his confession." ”

Li Weiyang's face was full of sarcasm: "Mother, don't worry, I guarantee that Pei Hui will automatically confess." ”

When Mrs. Guo heard this, she couldn't help but feel very strange, she really couldn't understand what Li Weiyang would do to make a person like Pei Hui take the initiative to confess? But no matter how she asked, Li Weiyang just shook his head mysteriously and refused to reveal it lightly.

That Jing Zhaoyin brought Pei Hui back, and he was worried about it, but suddenly heard that someone came to report: "The prince is always waiting to see your lord." ”

Jing Zhaoyin was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Quick, please come in." ”

The prince's permanent attendant is named Ruan Xiaoshan, a tall and handsome civil official, he walked into the study quickly, and then bowed his hand to Jing Zhao Yinyi: "Master Hua." ”

Jingzhao Yin Huacheng hurriedly greeted him and said, "Lord Ruan, if you are far away, please sit down." ”

The prince's servant smiled slightly and said: "My intention to come today, I think Master Hua is very clear, what does the prince mean......" Before he finished speaking, Jing Zhaoyin had already said in a loud voice: "The prince's meaning, the lower officials naturally know, this matter must be handled impartially, and will never favor Princess Shouchun." He said that this sentence actually has a deep meaning, not favoring Princess Shouchun, that is, favoring Pei Hui, favoring the Pei family is tantamount to favoring the prince.

The prince's attendant nodded and said, "Huada is really a smart person, these gifts are the prince's little heart, please accept them." Saying that, he waved his hand, and two heavy big boxes had already been brought to the door, and Jing Zhaoyin was shocked when he saw it, and immediately said: "His Royal Highness the Prince's good intentions, the lower officials have the best intentions, but the lower officials really dare not accept this thing." ”

The prince's attendant smiled lightly and said: "Huada people don't need to be polite, this is just a little bit of the prince's care, it's not gold, silver and jewelry, it's just a favorite ancient book of Huada, it's not worth anything at all." Even if outsiders see it, they will not say that BGI people accept bribes. Pei Gongzi asked the adults to take care of him in prison, so as not to let him suffer anything. ”

Jing Zhaoyin hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the lower officials know." ”

finally sent away the prince's permanent attendant, but Jing Zhaoyin was worried, but now it is the cusp of the storm, what he does is wrong, whether it is the royal family or the Pei family, he can't afford to offend, there is an extra prince in front of him, what can he do? So he sat in the study for half the night, but he didn't dare to close his eyes. At this moment, he suddenly heard someone outside the door laughing softly: "Lord Jing Zhaoyin is really left and right, accepting the gift of His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know how the Pei family will thank you when I turn around." ”

Outside the door, a young man in gorgeous clothes walked in slowly, his eyes shining on his handsome face, and for a moment it seemed to bring in the bright moonlight outside. Jing Zhaoyin was suddenly startled, jumped up from the chair suddenly, and said in a lost voice: "His Royal Highness King Xu!" ”

Xu Wang Yuanlie looked at the two big red lacquered wood boxes, but he smiled slightly, sat down on the chair next to him, and said in a leisurely tone: "The prince is asking you to make this matter a big and small matter, but in my opinion, I'm afraid it's not so easy." ”

Jing Zhaoyin saw that King Xu did not pursue the matter of the box, and asked with a red face: "Please forgive the ignorance of the officials, I don't know what His Royal Highness King Xu means?" ”

Yuan Lie's gaze was very cold, but with three points of ridicule: "Princess Shouchun is the beloved daughter of His Majesty, and now that she has returned to the palace, she will definitely sue Pei Hui in front of Her Majesty." Tsk, poor little neck is full of bruises and purple marks, if we come half a step late, maybe we will die. This marriage can't go on now, if you indulge Pei Hui privately, I want to know what His Majesty will think of you. ”

Jing Zhaoyin was startled, cold sweat wet his back, and he barely calmed down and said: "Your Highness, don't make fun of me, there are indeed a lot of strange things in this matter, maybe if you interrogate carefully, is this Pei Hui Gongzi really wronged?" He said as he cautiously checked Yuan Lie's expression, what does this matter have to do with King Xu? Why does he care so much? But before he could continue to ask, he saw Yuan Lie drop an object from his sleeve and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has so many ancient books to give, so I will use this thing in exchange for the loyalty of the adult." ”

Jing Zhaoyin's gaze stopped at the object that was thrown on the table, and then took the letter suspiciously and looked at it, and the whole person was as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was immediately stupid. Xu Wang Yuanlie took out this thing is nothing else, it is a card that Jing Zhaoyin hid when he was playing with people ten days ago, Jing Zhaoyin was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that the card he inadvertently hid would fall into the hands of Xu Wang Yuanlie, he remembered that he obviously brought the card back, but the card when he walked to the door of the house was gone...... He smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that His Highness has been assigning people to keep an eye on me, and this little official position is really unstable." ”

Yuan Lie's smile was very gentle: "Jing Zhaoyin's responsibilities are heavy, so I naturally have to keep an eye on it for His Majesty." ”

Jing Zhaoyin trembled, staring at King Xu in front of him, almost speechless with fright, thinking of the rumors of the very affectionate relationship between King Xu and His Majesty, could it be that King Xu Yuanlie was spying on him at the will of the Son of Heaven? He fell to his knees with a thud: "King Xu spares his life, King Xu spares his life!" Today, these things are the prince's permanent attendants who have to stay in my house, and I definitely don't want to accept them on purpose! Don't worry, I will definitely do what His Majesty wants! ”

Yuan Lie smiled lightly and said, "I don't know what this majesty means. ”

Jing Zhaoyin was already sweating like rain, he remembered His Majesty's murderous and unblinking energy when he was angry, but he was much more ruthless than the prince, after all, he had been an official in the court for many years, and he also had a certain opinion on people and things, Empress Pei was powerful, but what he was even more afraid of was the gloomy and unpredictable Emperor Xià. He clenched the card in his hand and said, "Even if His Majesty doesn't say it, the lower officials have already understood everything, and they are at the disposal of His Royal Highness King Xu." ”

Yuan Lie tasted a sip of tea with satisfaction and said, "In this way, I will borrow your yamen for use." ”

Jing Zhaoyin looked at Yuan Lie, but he didn't know what he meant by this, but before he could ask carefully, Yuan Lie had already stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go and interrogate that Pei Gongzi." ”

Yuan Yeol walked slowly on the cobblestone path, the dew fell on his shoulders, crystal clear, and with his steps, they slipped down one after another, this way slowly, like a walk, but scared Jing Zhaoyin into walking and not daring to speak. Soon, they arrived at the prison, and Jing Zhao Yin stepped forward and said, "Someone." Immediately, a messenger stepped forward and said, "Yes." ”

"Open the cell door to Lord Ben at once."

"Yes."

The yacha immediately rushed into the side door to open the gate, and the sergeants and men who were guarding naturally did not dare to stop it, and with a creak, two black lacquer gates opened in front of them. Jing Zhao Yin was respectful and personally accompanied King Xu Yuanlie into the prison. In fact, just now, he was still a little suspicious of Yuan Lie's actions on behalf of the Son of Heaven, but when he saw the gold medal on Yuan Lie's waist, he didn't say anything more, this was given to Yuan Lie by His Majesty himself, seeing him was like seeing the Son of Heaven in person, since this was the case, then Jing Zhaoyin dared to say a word more, I was afraid that his head would fall to the ground.

Yuan Lie said lazily, as if casually: "Go and invite that Pei Gongzi out." ”

Soon, a yacha escorted Pei Hui out, although Pei Hui looked haggard, but still did not change that proud expression, he glanced at the situation in the field, and couldn't help sneering: "Yuan Lie, are you going to set up a private torture hall?" ”

Yuan Lie smiled slightly, and said leisurely: "Pei Gongzi is really smart, you can guess such a difficult question, it's really not easy." He said this, but there was an indescribable mockery in his eyes.

Pei Hui couldn't help but sneer: "I'm not guilty. ”

Yuan Lie sat down for a long time, and naturally someone next to him served tea, he held the teacup and said with a smile on his face: "Pei Gongzi, you should also know that I didn't mean to embarrass you, as long as you confess, admit that you intended to murder the princess, and then draw a charge on the charge, I can guarantee that your Pei family will not be involved in this matter." ”

Pei Hui's face changed suddenly, and he said angrily: "Ridiculous, why should I kill the princess?" His attitude was tough, but Yuan Lie's smile was even colder, he liked to see Pei Hui dying and struggling, as if the prey had fallen into a trap and didn't know it. He said faintly: "Pei Gongzi, you have to think clearly. I'm not asking you, I'm commanding you! Don't you still see the changes in the current situation, and think that you can easily get out of this prison? ”

Pei Hui obviously didn't trust Yuan Lie, he said coldly: "You are just a prince, what right do you have to interrogate me?" Don't think I'm stupid! I won't sign it, don't even think about it! With this kung fu, you still continue to follow the woman around! ”

This is ironic that he always runs after Li Weiyang - Yuan Lie is not angry, because Pei Hui is not wrong, he just loves Li Weiyang, what is the embarrassment of running after her, what is self-esteem? ! It's ridiculous. He just smiled and said, "I'll ask again, do you recruit or not?" ”

Pei Huiyi said righteously: "An innocent person, how can you confess!" ”

Yuan Lie smiled lightly and said slowly: "Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless." As he spoke, he waved his hand, and immediately came in with several sturdy jailers, all of whom were full of fierceness, and came straight to Pei Hui. Pei Hui frowned and glared: "I am the son of the Pei family, who dares to do something to me without interrogation?!" ”

The jailer immediately looked at Jing Zhaoyin, but Jing Zhaoyin lowered his head from beginning to end, without looking at Pei Hui.

Yuan Lie blew the end of the tea and said: "The Pei family is certainly radiant and unattainable, but the dignified son of the Pei family became a prisoner overnight, do you still think how noble your identity is?" There is no son of the Pei family here, only a criminal who intends to murder the princess. ”

Hearing Yuan Yeol say this, the jailer's heart was full of confidence. One jailer stood in front of him with a curved knife, and the other had a rope with a rusty iron hook hanging from it. Pei Hui thought that he was going to disembowel, he was so frightened that he almost wanted to struggle hard, but his martial arts were useless here, and he was crushed by the four jailers, and he screamed loudly: "Yuan Lie, you are so daring!" ”

The knife flashed, only to see a servant buckle the iron hook into his stomach, I don't know how to move, he only felt abdominal pain like a twist, the other party sneered, the iron hook actually pierced his clothes, buckled his navel, this pain is really unbearable, he screamed, before he could react, the jailer had already put him on a bench like a chicken, brought a pot of chili water, like a teahouse running hall, and poured it down fiercely, until he was doused with tears, choking and coughing.

Yuan Lie asked with a smile: "Pei Gongzi, how does it feel in this prison?" ”

Pei Hui gritted his teeth, he couldn't wait to devour the Xu King Yuanlie in front of him alive at this moment to dispel the hatred in his heart, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Do you think that in this way, I will be beaten into a move?!" Don't daydream anymore! ”

Yuan Lie looked at him, his amber eyes were dyed with murderous intent, and he laughed out loud: "You and I have no grievances, and I don't want to embarrass you, but it's a pity that your Pei family is always pressing step by step, bullying people too much, and I can't let anyone who makes her unhappy, so I have to stop you." Saying that, he glanced at Jing Zhaoyin and said, "Master Hua, do you have such a little skill here?" ”

Jing Zhaoyin was covered with sweat, tilted his neck, and sharply commanded those officials: "You use some strength, haven't you eaten?" ”

Those officials are all authentic experts, they know how to make people survive without dying, and they don't even leave any traces, plus King Xu and Jing Zhaoyin are watching in front of them, so they can only work harder.

Pei Hui said sharply: "Shi Ke can't be killed, Yuan Lie, you dog thing, ......" Before he finished speaking, he was beaten by a jailer. He stumbled, rolled off the stool, and spat blood on the ground, leaving two teeth on the ground. With a hideous face, he stared at these officials and said, "You daring ......" Before he could finish his words, he was pounced on by those wolf-like officials, put a pair of mahogany sticks between his fingers, and began to retract the rope.

Yuan Lie smiled and said, "What is this called?" This seems to be a punishment for female prisoners, how did it use it for him? ”

Jing Zhao Yin said with a smile: "This punishment is naturally wonderful, after transformation, even if you cut off your fingers, your appearance will not leave any scars, Your Highness can rest assured." Sure enough, as soon as the rope was tightened, Pei Hui immediately let out a burst of screams, Yuan Lie lowered his head and drank tea, his long eyelashes hung down, and his quiet and gentle appearance made people really can't imagine that he was watching the execution. Jing Zhaoyin looked at King Xu's handsome side face, but he pinched a cold sweat in his heart. Today he helped King Xu Ku to interrogate Pei Hui, I don't know if this move is right. At this moment, Pei Hui's voice stopped abruptly, and he fainted in pain.

One person reported: "The prisoner's ring finger, index finger, and little finger have all been clipped. ”

Yuan Yeol didn't speak, and looked at Jing Zhaoyin with a smile, Jing Zhaoyin was trembling by that look, and said angrily: "Go and wake him up!" ”

The jailer poured a basin of water on it, Pei Hui lay on the ground, unable to get up, Jing Zhaoyin gave an order, and he was immediately put into a hemp bag and tied the mouth of the bag tightly. Immediately a person brought a six-foot square wooden board and put it on the ground, covered with needle tips as thin as cow hair, the four of them grabbed the four corners of the sack, shouted the trumpet, threw the sack into the sky, and then fell heavily on the nail board, Pei Hui let out a burst of screams in the sack, with these throws, the needletips were full of blood, and even the sack became bright red.

There is no heavenly principle in the prison, there is no royal law, and there is not even humanity, the purpose of these servants is only to extract confessions, no matter how firm Pei Hui is, he refuses to confess, but he is always an ordinary man, the same will bleed, the same screams, that will be knotted at once, it will really leave a mark on him, no matter how powerful he is, he can't withstand such torture. By the time Yuan Lie ordered someone to release him from the sack, he was already covered with scars, and he was in pain at the slightest movement, and tears were like rain, but the tip of the needle was as thin as a cow's hair, and the blood dried up as soon as the wind blew, and there was not the slightest scar on his body. He could have fought to the end, but he was unwilling, he knew that as long as he survived this hurdle, he would have the opportunity to retract his confession when the emperor and the crown prince tried it in person, so he gritted his teeth and said loudly: "I am willing to confess!" ”

Yuan Lie smiled lightly, and asked someone to find a pen and rice paper.

Pei Hui got up with difficulty, hooked the pen with one index finger, and wrote on the paper one by one, and every time he moved, he pulled the wound, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and he almost fainted. Under severe punishment, there are not many people who can endure the pain, but Pei Hui is a very determined person, and his tolerance for pain is much higher than that of ordinary people. The reason why he agreed to confess was that the fundamental purpose was to wait until the prince was present to retract the confession for himself, and then he would naturally say a word and accuse King Xu of what he had done to him.

Jing Zhaoyin accompanied King Xu out of the prison, and then said softly: "Your Highness, are you still satisfied today?" He looked at Yuan Lie with a pair of eyes, and said in his heart that this King Xu is too tender, and when the time comes, Pei Hui will retract his confession, but he doesn't plan to remind the other party, who let King Xu intend to threaten him. When the time comes, as long as he says that King Xu used his power to forcibly suppress him, he can naturally push the responsibility cleanly.

King Xu looked at him but smiled, under the moonlight, the handsome face with a hint of banter, he casually picked a peony flower from the side, put it in his hand and played: "I heard that the prince will come to the trial in a few days, if Pei Hui retracts his confession at that time and refuses to admit to murdering the princess, maybe he can turn over - this will also bring a lot of trouble, according to Lord Jing Zhaoyin, how to solve it?" ”

Jing Zhaoyin was taken aback, and he smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, don't embarrass me, since you did this today, you will definitely expect that he will retract his confession one day, if this is the case, then I can't help it!" "What he means is, don't embarrass me, I don't know how to deal with it, you can do it yourself.

Yuan Lie turned slightly, the flowers in his hand had been crushed into mud, and he said gently: "It's not difficult, as long as you do what I say, it's fine." As he spoke, he whispered two words in the other man's ear. Jing Zhaoyin was stunned when he heard Yuan Lie's instructions, and said in his heart, His Royal Highness King Xu, so young, and his mind was so vicious, but his face did not show the slightest surprise, and he said in a loud voice: "King Xu, good plan, good plan!" ”

Yuan Lie raised his hand, the flower mud disappeared with the wind, and said softly: "Why don't you do it quickly?" ”

"Yes! Be! Jing Zhaoyin hurriedly went.

Seven days later, the crown prince personally entered the heavenly prison with the emperor's will to be interrogated, and he was accompanied by the secretary of the criminal department and several royal relatives appointed by the emperor himself. It's just that the prince didn't expect that when he brought Pei Hui up, before he could ask anything, Pei Hui was already like he was insane, and he desperately shouted loudly: "I did it, I want to murder the princess, I did it!" ”

The prince was taken aback, and hurriedly looked at Pei Hui carefully, and then said sharply: "Who ordered you to torture him?" ”

Jing Zhaoyin hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, ordinary prisoners have to suffer a little when they enter the prison, but according to the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, the lower officials did not give him a big punishment, if you don't believe it, the prince can check it carefully." ”

In fact, after Yuan Lie went back, they had already found someone else to carefully examine Pei Huizai's wound, the needles on the iron plate were as thin as cow hairs, and piercing the human body would only hurt and there would be no wounds, especially when the blood dried up, there was no trace. And Pei Hui's finger, although it was broken before, they have already sent someone to pick up the finger bones for him, and now the prince goes to check, and he can't find anything unusual.

The prince glanced at Jing Zhaoyin angrily and said, "Pei Hui, what grievances do you have that you still haven't told us?" But no matter how he asked, Pei Hui only had three words - "I'm guilty, I'm guilty!" ”

Shangshu of the Criminal Department frowned and said, "Pei Hui, do you mean that you confessed?" ”

Pei Hui has always been crazy, the prince was completely stunned when he saw this situation, he didn't expect Pei Hui to admit his crime in just a few days, and even seemed to be ...... Lose your marbles? Jing Zhaoyin put the paper signed by Pei Hui in front of the prince, and said respectfully: "Prince, this is a note written by Pei Hui himself. ”

The prince took a look, it was clearly written in black and white, he was out of control because he was drunk for a while, and almost killed the princess, one by one, Pei Hui recognized it. The prince's face became extremely ugly, he couldn't figure it out, was Pei Hui crazy? He also wanted the other party to recall what happened that night so that he could retract his confession, but what should he do now?

In the garden of the Guo Mansion, the young masters of the Guo family were sitting in the pavilion drinking tea, and in the distance, Princess Ali was pestering Zhao Yue to let her teach her swordsmanship, and she was very energetic.

In the pavilion, Director Guo looked at Li Weiyang and chuckled: "How can you guarantee that Pei Hui will not retract his confession?" ”

The corners of Li Weiyang's thin lips curled, revealing a sneering arc: "I ordered someone to pretend to be the imperial history sent by the prince to review Pei Hui, and the fake imperial history told Pei Hui that it was on the order of the prince that he asked him to tell the truth about his grievances, Pei Hui was of course very excited, these days' patience made him very fragile, and gullible, he did not have the slightest doubt, but regarded him as his own life-saving straw, firmly grasped and refused to let go, so he shouted wronged, and told him what happened that day, but when' Yu Shi's front foot left, Jing Zhaoyin ordered the jailer to come in with the back foot, and re-applied the punishment of that day to him, Pei Hui couldn't stand such a lesson, so he naturally became cautious. ”

Director Guo listened, with an incredible look on his face. Li Weiyang's eyes were slightly glazed: "The next day, we sent another person to pretend to be the prince's envoy, falsely claiming to be ordered to investigate the matter, Pei Hui still didn't wake up, and cried in front of the other party that he was wronged, the messenger showed a very sympathetic look, but he couldn't help, and when he walked away, the jailer came in again and added a torture." In the past three days, there were more than ten people before and after, all of whom used different methods and identities to win Pei Hui's trust, Pei Hui knew that there was fraud, but he refused to give up hope, and he was cautious and cautious, but he couldn't help but mistakenly believe four or five of them. So much so that in the end, he couldn't distinguish between truth and falsehood, and every time he retracted his confession, he would be punished as usual, so he is now a conditioned reflex. As long as he retracts his confession, he will be punished, whether it is true or false, and when the prince really comes, he has been tortured and driven crazy, of course, even if he is not crazy, he can't convince himself that the other party is the real prince. ”

Director Guo was simply taken aback, he looked at Li Weiyang and said, "So some of the more than ten people you sent pretended to be the prince?" ”

Li Weiyang smiled lightly and said, "It's not difficult, just find someone with a similar body shape and a similar voice." The prison is dim, of course Pei Hui can't see clearly, as long as he looks like, he can naturally come true. This is just fiction and reality, true and false, which dazzles Pei Hui and does not distinguish between truth and falsehood. If you want to blame, you have to blame Pei Hui himself, his will is not strong enough, and he is too eager to escape. ”

Li Weiyang's dark eyes were cold and awe-inspiring, his face had a kind of murderous aura, and his voice was even softer, and he said slowly, hearing that everyone present shuddered, only to feel that this kind of scheming was really terrifying.

Guo Cheng kept holding the tea in his hand until it was cold and didn't remember to drink it, so he sighed for a long time and said, "This Pei Hui can be regarded as a well-deserved death." ”

Li Weiyang smiled in his eyes, and said quietly and calmly: "It was written on that piece of paper that Pei Hui would lose control because he was drunk, and he attempted to kill the princess, but he killed four palace maids, and with Empress Pei's mediation, he would not be convicted of capital crimes." It's just that capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped, and his punishment will not be light. ”

Ten days later, Pei Hui's verdict came down, and the article of great disrespect for the royal family was finally erased by Empress Pei for him, but the emperor still gave an expected punishment, Pei Hui was dug out of his kneecaps, and was tortured, which means that Pei Hui can no longer stand up, and the word prisoner will be tattooed on his face, no matter where he goes, he is just a criminal, which is more uncomfortable for a famous son than killing him.

Hearing the news, Li Weiyang just smiled faintly and said, "Pei Bi, you asked for one of my fifth brother's arms, and I asked for your brother's two legs, and I didn't suffer a loss." "If you don't kill Pei Hui, it's so that you can watch it every day, think about it every day, be heartbroken, and never be at peace.
