Wang Xiaojie pondered for a long time, and then said: "The minister has heard some of them, but my Tang Dynasty law does not have too many norms for this, not to mention that this kind of thing has become a habit." The minister once warned Cui Xin, but what he did did not violate the laws of my Tang Dynasty, and most of the slaves and maids who were transferred from official to private were from the temple, and there were a lot of transactions with the family of the gate lords, colleagues in the court, and the royal family, so it was over. ”

"Pei Qing's case, who accompanied the queen and Li Ye in the Criminal Department yesterday? But your squire Cui Xin? Li Hong sighed deeply, he had long expected the matter of official to private, but the reason why there was no legislation was because he wanted to wait for the matter of official to private, and make a bigger trouble, or after there was a conflict between them, he would appear again and completely solve it.

But what he didn't expect was that whether it was official to private slaves, or private slave trading, etc., it seemed that there was a set of rules that he didn't know, and often in that circle, they all acted according to the rules of the convention, and there have been no influential incidents in the past few years.

In addition, in the past two years, his focus has been on the complete disintegration of the five surnames and seven hopes, so he doesn't have much energy to pay attention to this matter, and now the five surnames and seven hopes have completely collapsed, plus Pei Qing's matter, there must have been enough reasons to let himself move the affairs of this slave and maid class.

And he believes that between Cui Xin, the servant of the Criminal Department, and Pei Qing, the assassin of Suizhou, there is definitely more than one girl in the building, and there must be other things between them, but he can't dig it out for a while.

Thinking of this, Li Hong suddenly felt that it was a bit too hasty to let Dashi and Prince Otsu come to Chang'an.

But after thinking about it, this matter can't be delayed, if he doesn't interfere in the matter of the big food again, I am afraid that the four families will put aside the dispute, and it is likely that because of war weariness, they will be united with the outside world.

After shaking his head helplessly, Li Hong threw another piece of music to Wang Xiaojie, and then said: "The Ministry of Supervision is under the supervision of the Menxia Province, but the head of the Criminal Department, plus Dali Temple has no responsibility for this matter, and Yushitai has no right to dispose of and find out, so you have to work hard for this time, the queen can deal with Pei Qing's matter, but how many ulterior secrets are behind Pei Qing, you must dig them out for me." Of course, in this process, in the matter of Suizhou officialdom, Yushitai and the Ministry of Officials will cooperate with you, and your criminal department will take the lead to find out about this matter. Furthermore, whether it is an official slave or a private slave, especially an official slave, the Lord in the monastery will give me a precise and detailed recital. ”

"That'...... Cui Xin, do you want the minister to take over temporarily? ”

"Not for now, right? You can handle this matter yourself, I think that between Cui Xin and Pei Qing, there must be something to dig into. Well...... Think about it...... Forget it, let's do this first, don't surprise Cui Xin for the time being, when you have time in the past two days, you can accompany me to personally visit the place where the slave trade is carried out to see how they operate. After finishing speaking, Li Hong waved his hand and also signaled Wang Xiaojie to leave.

With Wang Xiaojie leaving, the prince of Otsu, under the leadership of the eunuch, walked towards the palace. As for Empress Pei Wanying, she is now in the imperial study, sitting there with Bai Chun and waiting for His Majesty the Emperor to eat.

Last night, Bai Chun went to King Pu's Mansion, and the princess of Dalai came over when she saw Prince Dajin coming back, and saw the carriage at the door.

And Pei Wanying's purpose of looking for Bai Chun is actually very simple, that is, Li Hong handed over Pei Qing's case to her and her son Li Ye to deal with, although she said that she had the assistance of the Criminal Department, but she had never dealt with similar things, she was somewhat nervous and had no master of the six gods, and more importantly, Pei Qing was still a relative of her family, which made her suddenly turn into two big heads, and she didn't know how to deal with it.

called Bai Chun, naturally hoping to listen to Bai Chun's idea, not because Bai Chun knew Li Hong better than her, in comparison, their understanding of Li Hong was comparable.

The reason why this is so is entirely because Bai Chun is used to being independent, not to mention that he has been holding Jingwei in his hands all these years, and dealing with this kind of thing should be better than grasping blindness with his own eyes.

What's more, Pei Wanying was not interested in court affairs, and the fact that she was forced to compete with Yang Sijian's daughter for the crown princess had already made her feel uneasy, so she had to ask Bai Chun for help.

In the Shengyun Building, Pei Wanying and Li Ye's mother and son stared at each other, looked at Pei Qing and the others in the room, and when they didn't know what to do, Cui Xin, the servant of the criminal department who came quickly, proposed to imprison Pei Qing and the others first.

As for the imprisonment, it is obvious that they cannot be sent to the prison of the Criminal Department before convicting a court official like Pei Qing, so it is proposed that Pei Qing and others be secretly imprisoned in the Pu Wangfu.

Pei Wanying and Li Ye's first reaction was to oppose it, the status of Pu Wangfu in the Tang Dynasty is not worse than the palace, and even compared to other palaces in the palace, Pu Wangfu is more important than it.

Li Ye looked at the contradictory appearance of his mother, and was extremely dissatisfied with the proposal of Cui Xin, the waiter of the Criminal Department, but because it was his father who asked the waiter of the Criminal Department to assist, presumably this is what his father meant?

So the two of them, escorted by the Criminal Department, did not enter as soon as they arrived at the door of King Pu's Mansion, but waited for Bai Chun's arrival.

"Yesterday, fortunately, you came in time, otherwise Li Ye and I would really have fallen in love with Cui Xin's way, once we enter the Puwang Mansion, it will make outsiders see that it is me, the queen, who wants to pretend to be public and protect Pei Qing." Pei Wanying sighed and said.

The tea tray between the two women is obviously more exquisite, and when the two of them drink tea, it also seems to have a little more fun and artistic conception, after all, the two women with a flowery face and moon appearance, sitting in front of the sunny window, slender jade fingers flying on the tea tray, and then watching the heat rise and dissipate like green smoke, with the taste of tea slowly dispersed, quite a leisurely elegance and tranquility.

"It's commendable, at least Ye'er is quite responsible. When he arrived at the gate of King Pu's Mansion, he had the courage to strongly refuse to imprison people in King Pu's Mansion. Pu Wangfu, you also know, it is extraordinary, if Pei Qing is allowed to enter, even if His Majesty has no intention of covering up, it is inevitable that the courtiers above the court will guess that the Holy Will is to make a big deal small because His Majesty handed over this case to you and Ye'er to deal with, plus enter Pu Wangfu. Bai Chun smiled, picked up the delicate porcelain that was as white as jade and as thin as a cicada's wings, and poured Pei Wanying a cup of tea and said.

"Yes, this Cui Xin seems to have a lot of thoughts. I will tell Your Majesty the truth in a moment. Pei Wanying is rarely resentful of life.

almost caught Cui Xin's words, although she didn't mean to excuse Pei Qing in her heart, but Cui Xin still wanted to make trouble secretly when she knew that she wanted to deal with Pei Qing's case with an iron face and impartiality, which was too annoying.

"So, sometimes you, as a queen, have to be tougher, the sisters in the harem are sensible, but these courtiers are all exquisite, which one of them doesn't have some careful thoughts of their own. Your Majesty is above the court, and what you have to do more is to grasp the balance and degree. Pei Qing had no hope of promotion, so he stretched out his hand to Ye'er, as the imperial prince, this was also his only way out, but Bai Chun was worried about ....... Bai Chun shook the teacup in his hand, and looked at Pei Wanying quietly.

"Worried about what?" Pei Wanying put down the cup, looked at Bai Chunzhengrong and asked.

"What will happen to Lord Pei, if Lord Pei intercedes, even His Majesty will open the net. So now that Pei Qing and others have been imprisoned in the Criminal Department, it is impossible for Master Pei not to know, what you have to do now is not to immediately find out the ins and outs of the matter, the court officials are intricate, and it is difficult to find out within a period of time, but if you really want to handle this matter well with Ye'er, the first thing is to clear all kinds of obstacles, and then you can focus on investigating the ins and outs of this case. Bai Chun blinked his beautiful eyes, and the meaning was self-evident.

Pei Wanying has a gentle temperament and does not fight with others in everything, but it does not mean that she is not smart. On the contrary, among the daughters, Pei Wanying's ability to become the queen is the result of her and Li Hong's "free love" and mutual affection, but for so many years, being able to control the harem so harmoniously also shows that Pei Wanying's ice and snow are smart and tolerant.

"To be honest, sometimes I really don't want Li Ye to be made the crown prince." Pei Wanying lowered her voice, leaned her upper body slightly to Bai Chun's side and said.

"This can't be nonsense, Ye'er is the eldest son of the emperor, and he is also an extremely smart and sensitive child, and now he can see that he is still very stable and has his own opinions. At least yesterday, he was not intimidated by Cui Xin's fox and fake tiger, so he lost his opinion. To be honest, if I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes yesterday, I wouldn't have believed that it was he who took the initiative to refuse Pei Qing to be imprisoned in the Pu Wangfu, and it was more likely that you refused Pei Qing to be imprisoned in the Pu Wangfu. Bai Chun also approached Pei Wanying opposite, and said with a relieved smile.

"So early this morning, after seeing me in the palace, he left the palace, after consulting with me, and the stakes were still stated to me." Pei Wanying looked at the hairpin on Bai Chun's head, but she looked a little familiar: "Hey, isn't this my hairpin?" ”

"What, you still want to go back? Then you pay me back the gambling money you owe me. Bai Chun smiled playfully, and leaned back quickly before Pei Wanying stretched out her hand.

"It's okay for you to pay back the gambling money, but you have to promise me one thing." Pei Wanying stretched out her futile hand, looked at Bai Chun and said.

"What's the matter, I can open my mouth as the queen of the Tang Dynasty, but the slave maid is terrified and silent...... Bai Chun said that in the end, he learned the tune compiled by Yan Lingbin.

"Ye'er is afraid that she will inevitably go out of the palace these days, so can you ask you, who is an aunt, to borrow a few people from him?" Pei Wanying couldn't help Bai Chun's teasing, and a hint of blush rose on her snow-white cheeks and said.

"Don't worry, the two eunuchs in front of him were personally trained by Hua Meng. In a few days, when the two of them are almost there, they will also send them to Ye'er, but they are ....... ”

"Just what?" Pei Wanying's heart that she had just put down was just lifted up by Bai Chun again.

Bai Chun looked a little serious, thought about it for a while, and said: "Red Sleeves and Tian Xiang have been sent to Taiyi City by me today, Xiaoxue and they will be trained." The main thing is...... Once the two of them come back from Taiyi City, I'm afraid it will be the day when Ye'er leaves Chang'an, and you won't be reluctant to do so at that time. ”
