Chapter 567: It's better to be quiet

Pei Lin was the most favored courtier of the emperor in the Manchu Dynasty, but he was also imprisoned, and the officials were shocked.

Later, I heard that Pei Lin was thrown into prison for the crime of rebellion, and everyone couldn't help but speculate, why did Pei Lin rebel?

Will he really rebel?

However, those officials who are not used to seeing Pei Lian's arrogance on weekdays are happy to see this, and they very much hope that Pei Lian will be punished.

After Pei Lin was arrested, the Wei Mansion was blocked by officers and soldiers, and no one in the mansion was allowed to enter or leave.

"I don't believe it, Ah Lang will never rebel, he is wronged, I want to see Your Majesty."

The Duchess of Wei walked to the door in a menacing manner and said to the guards general: "The Duke of Wei will never rebel, I want to see Your Majesty." ”

As she spoke, she lifted her feet and walked out.

The officers and soldiers guarding the door immediately drew their weapons and blocked in front of her.

"Your Majesty has a decree, everyone in the Wei Mansion is not allowed to enter or leave, and if they break in, they will be put in prison together." The general said his will indifferently.

Duchess Wei's face turned pale, although she could see Pei Lin after being imprisoned, she wanted to stay outside, so that she could still find a way to save Pei Lian.

She thought for a while, and still said to the general strongly: "Then you go and report to Your Majesty, I ask to see Your Majesty." ”

The general paused: "...... I will send your request to Your Majesty, but for now, please go back. ”

Duchess Wei took a deep look at him, remembering his appearance, and then turned to leave: "Close the door." ”

The servant immediately closed the door.

Seeing Lawyer Pei walking towards her, the anger on Duchess Wei's face disappeared instantly, and she was replaced with a smile: "Da Lang, why are you here?" ”

Lawyer Pei is not as weak as the crown, but his face is a little old, especially at the moment, frowning, full of anxiety, looking more like an adult.

"Ah Niang, Aya will be fine, right? We'll be okay too, right? ”

Duchess Wei's smile remained unchanged, and her tone was relaxed: "Don't worry, Your Majesty Shengming, Su Ri favors your father again, this time it's just a villain, and soon the truth will be revealed, and your father will be released at that time."

"Don't think about it so much, leave these things to me, you go and study."

"Will it really be okay?" Lawyer Pei reconfirmed.

Duchess Wei looked confident: "Of course, believe me, your father will come out soon." ”

Hearing this, Lawyer Pei left suspiciously.

Back in the room, the Duchess of Wei Guo instructed Chen Mian: "Go and send a message to the East Palace, inquire about the case, and ask the East Palace to take care of Ah Lang." ”

Chen Mian hesitated for a moment: "Ah Lang is in prison for the crime of treason, and the officials of the Manchu Dynasty and even His Majesty are all staring at the Duke of Wei, and it is probably inappropriate to contact the East Palace at this time."

"What's more, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in Chang'an at the moment, and I'm afraid the East Palace won't be able to help much."

If Ah Lang really rebelled, contacting the East Palace at this time would definitely affect the prince, and then there would really be no one to save Ah Lang.

If Ah Lang did not rebel, there was no need to contact Donggong.

Anyway, the crown prince is not in Chang'an, and without the prince's order, the people of the East Palace will not be involved in this case.

Thinking of this, Chen Mian continued: "Lady, at this time, it is better to be still than to be still, since you believe that Ah Lang will not rebel, we might as well wait and see what happens, and wait for the results of the trial to come out." ”

Duchess Wei thought for a while: "...... Good. ”

The general in charge of the blockade of the Duke of Wei reported the request of the Duchess of Wei to Li Yuan, and Li Yuan said impatiently: "No." ”

So, the generals brought the emperor's words to the Duchess of Wei.

After hearing this, the Duchess of Wei was no longer as arrogant as before, but said lightly: "I know, you go down." ”

......

When Pei Lin was imprisoned, Wang Yu did not dare to investigate it vigorously, for fear of arousing Li Yuan's suspicion.

She inquired euphemistically, only to know that Li Yuan received a secret letter, and then put Pei Lin in prison, and she didn't know the rest of the inside information.

After thinking about it, this matter had nothing to do with her, nor did it have anything to do with the Qin Palace, so she ordered Wang Kangda to pay attention to the dynamics of the case and not have to inquire about the case.

On this day, Wang Yu stayed in the palace to accompany Li Yuan for dinner, and Li Yuan suddenly asked: "Last time you exchanged Pei Lian's illegitimate son for a cold and warm jade chess piece, do you know who Wu Dalang's mother is?" ”

"I don't know, but I know where Wu Dalang lives." Wang Yu replied honestly, and said, "I'll tell Aya their address." ”

Just as she was about to say the address, Li Yuan interrupted her: "They have already moved." ”

Wang Yu raised her eyebrows, could it be that Pei Lin was afraid that she would find trouble with Wu Dalang, so he let them move out?

She thought for a moment and said tentatively: "Aya, but Wu Dalang's identity is different?" ”

Li Yuan was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "I have ordered someone to interrogate the people of Pei Mansion, and I think there will be a result soon." ”

Wang Yu didn't try it again, she guessed in her heart that Pei Lian's case must be related to Wu Dalang's identity, at least, Wu Dalang was the fuse of this case.

......

A few days later, Dali Siqing came to report the progress of the case to Li Yuanyu.

"Your Majesty, the minister has already interrogated all the relevant personnel, and except for the housekeeper Chen Mian, no one else in the Pei Mansion knows about the existence of the Wu family's mother and son.

"Chen Mian, like Pei Lian, insisted that Wu Dalang was Pei Lian's biological flesh and blood, and Wu also said that Wu Dalang was her and Pei Lian's son......"

Li Yuan interrupted him: "Can you do a drop of blood to recognize your relatives?" ”

"It's done, Pei Lin and Wu Dalang's blood is fused together." Dali Siqing replied.

Li Yuan was silent.

Dali Siqing glanced at Li Yuan and continued to report.

After the confession, all the confessions were submitted.

Li Yuan slowly flipped through the confession, his brows were always furrowed, and his expression was more solemn.

Could it be that like Liu Wenjing's counter-murder, Pei Lin was also falsely accused?

Dali Siqing silently waited for Li Yuan's decision, judging from the current evidence, Pei Lin was indeed wronged.

However, in the end, Li Yuan instructed him: "Send someone to Jinyang to investigate, I want to know Wu Dalang's real birthday." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Dali Temple hung his head and withdrew from the main hall, His Majesty obviously didn't believe what Pei Lin said, otherwise he wouldn't have let him send someone to Jinyang to investigate.

Because Pei Lin and Wu said that Wu Dalang was born in Jinyang, and when His Majesty was in Jinyang at that time, he didn't know anything about it, so it was no wonder that His Majesty was suspicious.

Pei Lin kept this matter too tight.

However, it will take a lot of time to go to Jinyang to investigate this time, and Pei Lin will not be able to come out for a while.

The former favored ministers ended up like this, and Dali Siqing couldn't help but feel embarrassed for Pei Lone.

Because of this interrogation, the whole Wei Mansion knew about the existence of Wu's mother and son.

The servants did not dare to speak out, nor did they dare to speak, because the Duchess of Wei was very angry because of this.

She smashed the porcelain in the room, scolding Pei Lin while falling, and even when her son came, she didn't stop.

"The old lady worked hard to give birth to a son for him and helped him take care of the backyard, but he was raising sluts and illegitimate children outside?

"It's unreasonable, hateful, shameless, and indecent......"

Lawyer Pei stood outside the door, looking at his mother, who had never been so angry, scared and angry......
