Pei Ling, the word Luyan, the waiter of the criminal department, is under the fourth grade, can be described as the second-in-command of the criminal department, known as "Pei Hao Guts". A big man like him easily did not leave the imperial capital, and this trip was made by holy decree to mediate the "war" between Prince Che and Prince Mu together with the Zongren Mansion.

What is Pei Haoguts? This is when he was serving as the state pastor in Yanzhou, because Prince Yuan's subordinates were riding horses in the city and killing pedestrians, he rushed to the palace and angrily scolded the prince for half an hour. Afterwards, the subordinate who was almost the strength of the grandmaster was beheaded by the government, and Prince Yuan was so angry that he fell seriously ill for three days. The people admired Pei Ling, so they called him "Pei is brave".

Such an upright person, of course, can't get used to the chaos caused by Prince Che and Prince Mou, but because the saint has no intention of severe punishment, and the Zongren Mansion has a heart and mud, the two princes were only ordered to be grounded and fined for one year, which is not painful at all, maybe the two of them will get worse in the future. There was still some time before the day of returning to Beijing, the so-called out of sight and out of mind, Pei Ling and the people from the Zongren Mansion said hello and simply came to Jingzhou to relax; And the Zongren Mansion naturally couldn't ask for it, and very diligently prepared a chariot and horse entourage for Pei Ling, and almost said, "You can go as long as you want."

The Zongren Mansion didn't know that this was just a nominal "scattering".

As soon as he arrived in Jingzhou, Pei Ling communicated with the state pastor, and arrived in Anding City (formerly Yibei City) in three days, and ordered Bao County Cheng to file a file to investigate the case of the adventurer Yu Qingfeng robbing and injuring people. Even if it has been made known to the world, Pei Ling, who is the servant of the Criminal Department, also has the right to investigate the case, so everyone in Anding City cooperates.

When he first received the copy of the dossier, Pei Ling already felt that the case was strange, and at this time, he summoned witnesses and only asked a few words, and Pei Ling was able to assert that the evidence in the case was insufficient. The so-called human witnesses, if you ask a few more questions, you will not match the preface; The so-called physical evidence is just some ordinary items that cannot be used as a basis at all. In other words, this case is the most common kind of unjust, false and wrongful case, how mediocre do Bao Fengxue and Lei Zhenyu have to be before they can report this case to the Criminal Department and apply for the issuance of sea arrest documents? Although Yu Qingfeng resisted arrest, he was innocent in the first place, so how could he say "resist arrest"? Fortunately, it is still too late to redeem it now, as long as you make a statement in front of the emperor, you will be able to cancel this sea fishing document, so that the innocent will no longer suffer, and the guilty will be terrified!

So who is the real culprit?

Pei Ling followed the clues and reasoned a little, and he already had confidence in his heart.

Is it the Northern Tigers? Or the Jin Family Chamber of Commerce? Woohoo, if it's really the latter, it's really a behemoth, and it's definitely not something that a waiter under the four grades can deal with lightly. Could it be the latter? Most likely! If this were not the case, how could Bao and Lei, who belong to opposing camps, maintain a high degree of consistency in this unjust, false and wrongful case? It can only be that there is an extremely strong energy to make this happen!

But what is Pei Haoda's fear?

"Pei Shilang!"

Pei Ling, who was already thinking about it, put down the dossier, and when he saw the person coming, he was surprised and delighted: "Cai Zhutou? ”

The middle-aged man who walked into the court and panted slightly was an acquaintance of the Criminal Department, Cai Jue. The weather in Jingzhou is hot, and Cai Zhutou seems to be coming non-stop, his head is full of sweat, and his collar is already wet.

Arresting fast is an official, there is no grade at all, and he is not as good as an official, but several chief arresters under the command of the senior member of the Criminal Department have an extraordinary status, and they are a first-class official, and Cai Zhutou is one of them. Cai Jue was born in the rivers and lakes, and since following the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, he has captured more than 100 bandits and thieves, and his fame is black and white, and he is regarded as one of the successors of Wu Ting. Pei Ling has a very good personal relationship with him, but this trip, he should have nothing to do with Cai Zhutou.

Pei Ling has been judging cases for many years, his heart is as meticulous as hair, and his grasp of people's hearts and things has a self-evident mystery. ”

Cai Jue has been working with Pei Ling for a long time, and he knows his temperament, so he is not verbose, adjusts his breathing, and says, "Pei Shilang, I'm here to deliver a letter." Then he took out a cloth bag from his bosom, untied it in three layers, and saw a snow-white envelope.

Cai Zhutou is a rough person, and he can keep a letter so properly, which shows that the letter writer is not small. The envelope was turned over, and I saw a line of beautiful handwriting: "Pei Di respects Qi", Pei Ling sighed in his heart. How can he not recognize this word, when the court is Taifu Xiao Yanyun! The word "Folding Pen Lang" is highly sought after by collectors, and Xiao Yanyun is high in power and difficult to move, so its calligraphy can be equivalent to gold and silver!

Pei Ling sat down, opened the envelope, looked at it twice, and then changed color: "Mrs. Xiao, the Criminal Department has decided the case, why use you to point fingers!" With a wave of his sleeve, the letter floated to the ground.

At this time, Cai Zhutou stepped forward quickly, caught the letter before it hit the ground, and at the same time took out another cloth bag from his arms. He smiled bitterly and said: "The squire doesn't need to be angry, there is still one thing under his subordinates, but the Taifu confesses: if you throw your letter to the ground, I will give it to you, and it is not too late for you to make a decision after you have seen it." ”

"Xiao Yanyun has been bright and upright for half his life, and he still plays such a trick?" Pei Ling said with a smile, his upper body didn't move, and he just looked coldly at what the head catcher could take out. But when the cloth was untied, he was stunned at first, grabbed it with both hands, and when he grabbed it halfway, he trembled and took it carefully, and his eyes flowed with tears: "This is the teacher's paperweight......

He recalled many things.

He remembered how his teacher had taught him in his study to make him a good official worthy of the prince of heaven and earth, and he kept staring at the paperweight on his teacher's table with his eyelids down;

He remembered that because he was too upright, he was overwhelmed by various factions, and was finally sent to the bitter cold land of Yanzhou, where he lived in poverty, and his family was seriously ill, and he relied on the support of his mentor and classmates to survive;

He remembered that when his teacher died, it was Mrs. Xiao who presided over the funeral and arranged more than 100 people from the teacher's house;

He remembered that he was able to work in the Criminal Department, and it was recommended by Mrs. Xiao. Without Taifu, he is afraid that he will die of old age in Yanzhou;

……

"Taifu, you are using incense to force me!" Pei Ling wiped his eyes, put away the paperweight, and re-read the letterhead. The letter said very little to the effect that he should not interfere in the matter.

Mrs. Xiao is only loyal to the saint and does not belong to any faction, so he is easy to keep silent, and he can be driven to speak for this little wanted case, which shows that the water inside is too deep and too deep, and the shopkeeper Tong is just an insignificant pawn.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the public hall, and a young man rushed in, raised his eyes and saw Pei Ling, and shouted:

"Master Pei!"

What day is today, why are you all looking for yourself? Pei Ling folded the letter paper and looked up.

"Who are you?" Cai Zhutou shouted.

"I'm Yu Qingfeng!"

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Pei Ling's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the comer carefully. is a strong man, with a cloak and a frosty face, but his eyes are still stubborn. With one hand on the scabbard at his waist, he stood sideways, as if he could strike at any moment. This person once killed monsters and protected the safety of Anding City, and was a young hero, but now he is like a rat crossing the street, which is really embarrassing.

"You're a wanted criminal, why are you here?" Pei Ling asked.

At this time, the officials poured in from outside the gate, armed with water and fire sticks, and wanted to take down the thief. At this time, Yu Qingfeng only looked back and glared, and they were so shocked that they didn't dare to move.

Immediately, Yu Qingfeng knelt on the ground on one knee and said, "I'm here to avenge my grievances!" Master Pei, I was wronged! ”

"This official has learned the facts of the case." Pei Ling's face was expressionless: "The human and material evidence is there, your criminal evidence is conclusive, and you are not ready to be arrested and waiting to be released?" ”

Yu Qingfeng opened his mouth in disbelief, and then became angry: "You are talking nonsense! Obviously, it was the Tong shopkeeper who colluded with the Northern Tiger Gang to blame me! ”

Pei Ling didn't want to say much, and waved his hand. Cai Zhutou shouted: "You still haven't arrested the thief!" ”

The officials pounced on Yu Qingfeng, but Yu Qingfeng has the strength of a martial artist, where can these ordinary people deal with? I saw that Yu Qingfeng's sword was not unsheathed, and he grabbed a water and fire stick with his body, and threw it at the head, hitting Pei Ling's shoulder, and hitting the squire to the ground. He turned around and left, throwing down a sentence: "Pei is so daring, what kind of good official are you?!" ”

"Chase!" Cai Zhutou exclaimed, quickly helped Pei Ling up, and asked earnestly: "Squire, is there any damage?" ”

"Flesh wounds, do not hinder. Head catcher, you are strong in martial arts, if you make a move, the villain must have been caught. ”

"This ...... It was important to protect the waiter, and when he was in a hurry, he hesitated. ”

Pei Ling smiled and didn't ask any more. Cai Zhutou wants to open up like him, but in his position, there are many things that cannot be done, and there are many things that have to be done, helpless, helpless.

Alas, what kind of good officer is he?

————————————————————————————————————

Anding City, the city lord's mansion.

"The wanted criminal Yu Qingfeng made a big fuss in the government", when this news was reported to the Lei City Lord, the Lei City Lord was very surprised. That young man can hold on for so long and not be caught, it is already the favor of God, and he dares to come back?

And this is a big havoc...... Pei Ling investigated in the Yamen...... Does Yu Qingfeng want to overturn the case? But Pei Ling dismissed it?

How ridiculous! As a party, Lei Zhenyu knows better than anyone that this case is basically an unjust, false and wrongful case. An adventurer, with a bright future, to rob the aborigines of their money? Pei Hao's courage does not understand the sophistication of human feelings, it does not mean that he is a fool, the facts of the case will be clear as soon as he is clear, and the cancellation of the case is a certainty. However, Yu Qingfeng failed to overturn the case? Pei Ling hit the evil?

There's something strange here!

Lei Zhenyu mobilized his memory and thought about what was wrong. On the same day, Bao Fengxue asked to sign a sea fishing document, but he couldn't refuse in person, and afterwards Lei Zhenyu bought Bao Fengxue's master (fortunately, Bao Fengxue lost power, so he could buy the people around him), and only then did someone send a white jade cup over before the incident. White jade, alluding to the white jade chicken fir, Lei Zhenyu also tasted it, it was given by the shopkeeper Tong of the Jin Family Chamber of Commerce, and he knew that Bao Fengxue was on the line of the Jin Family Chamber of Commerce. The bitter owner of the robbery is a businessman, if there is a conflict of interest with the Chamber of Commerce, it is natural for the Chamber of Commerce to get him, and it is even more reasonable for Yu Qingfeng to be blamed.

Is that the shopkeeper Tong bought Pei Ling? No, it's impossible, Pei Ling is famous for his tendons, even if the president of the Jin Family Chamber of Commerce, the Jin master, comes forward, he is playing the piano to the cow. Ah, how did you forget this stubble, Jin Dadang's family connections are all over the world, his two best friends are both pillars of the country, and if Mrs. Xiao opens Chrysostom, Pei Ling may be able to bend the law for personal gain......

Thinking of this, Lei Zhenyu deeply sympathized with Yu Qingfeng.

Even Pei Ling's case of "can't find fault" is an undoubted iron case, and no one can overturn it.
