Frightened, Pei Yongnian tilted his head slightly, and the dagger in Yin Shanzhi's hand that was against him before was cold. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I, I don't know what you're talking about."

Bent over his waist, Pei Yongnian's throat moved, and he hurriedly turned around and spoke to Jia Lian.

"I'm just watching a show, I don't know that person, he must have recognized the wrong person, it's useless for you to arrest me, my name is not Pei Yongnian."

Wanting to cover up, Jia Lian even felt bored to debunk his current words.

Slowly getting up, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him with calm eyes, Jia Lian sneered.

The clothes on the body are fashionable materials in Jiangnan, so much so that they are not very precious, but Jiangnan is more Confucian, respectful of rules, and there is a difference between master and servant, and usually subordinates are not allowed to cross the master.

And this material is often the master of a noble family.

It seems that he is doing well.

Shocked by Jia Lian's strange gaze, Pei Yongnian swallowed his saliva and kowtowed to Jia Lian a few more times.

"My lord, I really don't know anything, you caught the wrong person."

Ignoring it, Jia Lian took the tea in Xing'er's hand and dialed it, and said in a cool voice.

"Pei Yanqing said that you and another steward have always been in charge of this part of the official salt, that person died with Pei Yanqing today, and you were able to escape alone, this is your last chance."

Looking up at Pei Yongnian, Jia Lian's eyes became unwavering, and he was not in the mood to accompany him around the bend.

"The Pei family was beheaded for public display because Pei Yanqing operated a gold mine privately and had many mining accidents. Don't quibble, the Zhen family itself is difficult to protect, since we can find you, we naturally have the exact evidence, and now we are just asking you for verification, you tell the truth, and striving for leniency is the right way. ”

This is what I learned from Lin Ruhai when I was in Jiangnan in the past, and I lied.

The effect is very significant, and Pei Yongnian's original luck psychology in his heart disappeared after Jia Lian's words.

Especially Jia Lian didn't even ask him a word, and directly said the next words, making him feel like a clown jumping off the beam before.

It's just that the first crime convicted by the Pei family is selling illicit salt, if the person in front of him really knew that Pei Yanqing was wronged, why didn't he rehabilitate him and let him be cut off by his head?

In his heart, heaven and man were at war, Pei Yongnian hesitated, and after all, he didn't dare to make any more moths.

The Jia family, he remembered that the Zhen family and the Jia family had always been good friends, maybe Jia Lian really just asked for details, maybe he would let him go after he finished speaking.

After all, if he is really arrested, the Zhen family will not be able to sit still.

As Pei Yongnian opened his mouth bit by bit, the faces of the people in the room became surprised, their eyes looked out of the window that was still open, and an indescribable feeling permeated their hearts, and the tip of their noses even felt a burst of blood.

It turned out that Pei Yanqing really didn't know about the private salt.

For the Pei family, who already owned a gold mine, the status of an official salt dealer only brought them honor. In fact, among the many businesses of the Pei family, Guan Yan is not the most profitable one.

After all, since the establishment of the Ministry of Salt, the price of official salt has been much lower than that of private salt in the past.

Of course, because of the large volume, the turnover must be very objective, but the Pei family does not attach great importance to it. Therefore, since the dealer quota was obtained, Pei Yongnian and another housekeeper have been dealing with it.

Pei Yongnian is in charge, and the monthly silver is ten taels of silver per month, in addition to the dividends, red envelopes, and carbon ice cases in winter and summer.

So Pei Yongnian's salary is good.

But people's hearts are greedy, and several purchases made him see the replicability of dried salt, but at first he just thought about it, but then an accident, the Zhen family appeared in front of him.

The island was told to him by the Zhen family, and he bought it at a very low price. In order to hide people's eyes and ears and make things easier, he used the name of the Pei family under Zhen Qiyao's hint.

The Pei family bears the name of a dealer in Huai Province, transporting and selling.

Under the cover of official salt, Pei Yongnian sold the salt produced in Yandao through the official salt shop, and then some of it was transported to the Bashu area.

So although the Pei family didn't know, the place and resources were all from the Pei family.

And the rest of the matter is just as Jia Lian knows. Zhen Qiyao was afraid that Pei Yongnian would be caught and let Pei Li take it out, so he secretly hid him.

So Pei Yongnian not only knows Zhen Qiyao, but also has a very good personal relationship.

But obviously Zhen Qiyao is not worried about Jia Lian, so he is unwilling to let Jia Lian know the relationship between the two, which can explain what Zhen Qiyao did on the night they landed.

After Pei Yongnian's words were finished, Jia Lian looked out the window, his face was ugly.

So in the final analysis, this matter was put on the part of the Zhen family.

Although the Zhen family basically did not check Pei Yongnian's affairs, the hints in the details were all from their handwriting.

They directed such a play, but Jia Lian personally sent this flawed play to the emperor, who pronounced the Pei family's death sentence knowing that the Pei family might have other hidden secrets.

Angry, Jia Lian threw the teacup in his hand at Pei Yongnian, and then got up.

He wants to tell Lin Ruhai about this, the men of the Pei family are dead, and the women are innocent, if you can, let it go.

The group took Pei Yongnian to the yamen, and Jia Lian found Lin Ruhai and asked Pei Yongnian to repeat everything.

"Your Excellency."

Looking directly at Lin Ruhai's eyes, Jia Lian's eyes were full of pleading.

Seeing this kind of thing and hearing about it are really two different things. All he heard about the mine disaster was numbers, and at most it was the sixteen-year-old mother crying heartily as she hugged her infant child.

But now he saw sixteen bloody heads, and the little girl who didn't know whether she was alive or dead!

Waving his hand to send Pei Yongnian to the prison, Lin Ruhai shook his head at Jia Lian with some disappointment.

"I thought I made it clear to you before."

Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, looking at Lin Ruhai who passed by him, and his previous words echoed again.

"It doesn't matter if the person behind this matter is the Pei family or not, the important thing is to let the people of the world know that as long as they want to be opportunistic and damage the interests of the imperial court, then they will be doomed."

This is Lin Ruhai's original words, and now, even if as Pei Yongnian said, the principal of the Pei family did not participate in the sale of illicit salt, but what Pei Yongnian did was enough to involve the Pei family.

More importantly, if now, as Jia Lian said, to rehabilitate those who have been sentenced to death, doesn't that mean that the emperor was wrong before?

The Son of Heaven Chrysostom said, so this matter is over.

As for the matter of the Zhen family, Lin Ruhai's eyes flashed with a hint of meaning.
