Pei Heng frowned, turned noncommittally and walked out of the cell. As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Li Kun coming over in high spirits, and when he saw Pei Heng, he smiled and said, "Yo ho, the third prince is also well-informed, how about it?" This son is your cronie? ”

Pei Heng looked at Li Kun coldly and said in a low voice: "The lower officials don't dare to discuss the government in vain. ”

Li Kun looked back at Pei Heng angrily, and scolded in his mouth: "Hey, you unlucky one, what are you playing fake and serious?" ”

With that, he walked towards the cell where Zhang Gongzi lived.

As soon as Pei Heng walked out of the prison, he heard that the emperor was going to send him to the palace to discuss the matter.

Pei Heng hurriedly tidied up his clothes, and then walked in the direction of the palace.

The emperor was leisurely drinking tea in the back garden, when he saw Pei Heng coming over, stood up and asked, "Heng'er, have you heard about spices?" ”

Pei Heng nodded, and respectfully said to the emperor: "The child has heard a little. ”

The emperor drank a cup of tea, then put down the teacup and asked, "Then what have you heard?" ”

Pei Heng sighed, looked at the emperor and said: "That Zhang Gongzi, there is no such person at all, there is only Zhang Jing's family in the capital." Moreover, the money he smuggled spices was stolen from others. ”

The emperor frowned, looked at Pei Heng and said, "The child is quite insightful in what he said, did you say that there is a black hand behind this?" ”

Pei Heng shook his head, looked at the emperor and said, "The child doesn't dare, he just thought about it like this." ”

The emperor put down the teacup, looked at Pei Heng and said, "You don't dare to say it, then do you think that if I have to find out who is behind the scenes?" ”

Pei Heng looked at the emperor and whispered, "Father doesn't have to care too much. Just talk about it in the morning and see who is the first to answer, and it may be who. ”

"You mean, the masterminds behind the scenes are the most afraid of showing their feet?" The emperor stood up and looked at the scenery outside.

"That's all the child can think of." Pei Heng looked at the emperor, then stood up, ready to get up and say goodbye.

The emperor hurriedly grabbed Pei Heng and said, "Why is the child in such a hurry to leave?" Both of your brothers told their father about this, but they insisted that it was the prime minister, don't you suspect that it was the prime minister? ”

Pei Heng shook his head, looked at the emperor and said, "You can't judge who it is based on your own opinion, otherwise, what will you do with the criminal department and the trial?" ”

"Good boy, you really speak extraordinary!" The emperor looked at Pei Heng: "I see that you are a first-class good at handling family affairs, so I don't know what will happen to you when you deal with big things, so I will let you judge this matter, what do you think?" ”

Pei Heng took a deep breath, he knew that this was not an ordinary case. If you don't handle it well, you might be killed. Besides, in this case, if it is really the prime minister who is behind the scenes, and he tells the truth, it is tantamount to destroying the prime minister's secret, and the prime minister will definitely not let him go.

However, now that the emperor has named himself to judge, if he refuses, it is tantamount to saying that he is not capable of doing this.

Pei Heng took a deep breath, looked at the emperor and said, "Brother and brother, don't you want to try it?" ”

"That's because I want to see how you're doing, and you're not going to let me down, are you?" The emperor came up with a straightforward approach.

Pei Heng nodded and walked out of the back garden.

As soon as he walked on the road, he saw Li Ying walking over with a book of poems in his hand and asked, "Brother Huang entered the palace, why don't you catch up with the palace?" ”

Pei Heng whispered: "My father found Da'an, and he was about to let me go to trial, and I will come to you another day to ask for peace." ”

With that, he turned around and walked towards the palace gate.

Li Ying caught up, grabbed Pei Heng and said, "Brother Huang, don't go, this is a collection of poems I recently edited, and I can read it in my spare time." ”

Pei Heng took the collection of poems, flipped through it a little, and saw that the handwriting inside was neat and the layout was generous, so he smiled and said: "I haven't read the content carefully, but on this page, Xianmei has made great progress." ”

Li Ying lowered her head embarrassedly, looked at Pei Heng and said, "You also think this layout is very good, right?" To tell you the truth, this is Zhang Jing's doing, I think he is really a talent. ”

Pei Heng smiled and gently pinched Li Ying's nose: "It's a talent, and it's a cultural person." It would be a shame if I did sweep the floor. ”

Li Ying grabbed Pei Heng's arm with some embarrassment and shook it: "Brother, didn't you say that you won't mention this matter again?" Why are you ...... again?"

Pei Heng patted his head lightly and smiled awkwardly: "Oh, that's, that's, foolish brother should die, foolish brother should die." ”

Li Ying looked at Pei Heng with some distress and said, "Actually, I asked him to try to copy this poetry collection dozens of times, and finally finalized it." The previous ones were simply unsightly. ”

Pei Heng pursed his lips, a woman is a woman, she embroiders and makes clothes on weekdays, and she pays attention to excellence in everything, this thing for people to see, and with such kung fu as embroidery, I don't know how many men will be tortured to death.

However, to put it mildly, now that the princess has let Zhang Jing go, although the work of copying books is a bit hard, it is also hands-on.

He nodded, looked at Li Ying and said, "In that case, Brother Fool must take a good look at it, and he won't let you down." ”

With that, he put the book of poems in his pocket, and then went out towards the back door of the palace.

As soon as he went out, he saw Hu Shi and Ke'er looking at him in a hurry, and asked, "How is it, the emperor has asked about this?" ”

Pei Heng nodded, looked at Hu Shi and Ke'er and said, "Yes, you just told me that you plan to let me judge this matter." ”

Hu Shi grabbed Pei Heng's hands and asked in fear: "Then, if we really say it, will we become accomplices?" After all, it's our silver. ”

Pei Heng looked at the faces of this Hu family and Hu Ke'er, and a feeling of disgust suddenly surged in his heart.

If you are afraid of being implicated, won't it be over if you don't admit that the silver is your own?

However, they seem to be unwilling to give up the money in their hands, and then they don't want to be regarded as accomplices. Where is it so easy to do things in this world?

When have you been thinking about your money? It's strange that such a woman can do something big.

However, seeing the mother and daughter standing in front of him, they also live under the same roof, there is no need to be so careful, so he shrugged his shoulders, looked at Hu Shi and Ke'er and said: "Don't worry, the trial has not started yet, and you are not the main target, so you will not care about these things very much." ”

Qiao You looked at Pei Heng worriedly and said, "Brother Pei, you will go to the court tomorrow, are you nervous?" ”

Pei Heng sighed, looked at Qiao You and said, "What's there to be nervous about?" Aren't big cases and small cases the same? Speaking of which, it seems that I am afraid that the world will not be chaotic. ”

Qiao You pulled Pei Heng to his room, and said with a cup of tea on the ground: "Brother Pei, take a sip of tea, this is fresh Hangzhou chrysanthemum tea, which has the effect of clearing the liver and brightening the eyes, and refreshing the mind." ”

Pei Heng looked at Qiao You's gentle smiling face, and those hands were like snow-white onions, which had just been soaked in water.

He touched Qiao You's hands, and suddenly there was an electric shock.

Then, there was a mysterious power that made him ghostly grab Qiao You's hands.

Qiao You looked at Pei Heng with some horror and said, "Accompany the eldest brother, what are you doing, let go of me!" ”

Pei Heng felt that there was something sticky on Qiao You's hands, and the feeling of putting them on his hands was that he couldn't stop.

Qiao You also felt a strong temperature gushing out of his fingertips, as if his hands were about to melt into his body.

It was probably a long time before they came to their senses, took a step back, and took a sip of chrysanthemum tea.

"This chrysanthemum tea is really a good tea, the price must be very expensive, right?"

Qiao You smiled indifferently, looked at Pei Heng and said, "You and I are brackets, what else is expensive?" As long as you have the heart, nothing is expensive. ”

Pei Heng nodded, looked at Qiao You and said, "If I can stay with you for the morning and twilight, I can let go of all the fame and fortune." ”

Qiao You squinted his eyes, he couldn't believe that this was from Pei Heng's words. Pei Heng on weekdays can be said to be extremely brave and aggressive.

As long as it is something that can be obtained by hard work, there is nothing that he does not want to strive for.

But how did you suddenly become so Buddhist? Could it be that it was really his own chrysanthemum tea that played a role, and then even this little bit of fire was gone?

She hurriedly looked at Pei Heng and said, "Brother Pei, you have disappointed me like this." There is nothing wrong with you being indifferent to fame and fortune, but if you want to give up what belongs to you, and you are so willing, then you will become nothing. ”

Pei Heng sighed, looked at Qiao You and said, "You don't know, Xiao Niang and Ke'er looked for me just now." ”

Pei You raised his eyebrows, looked at Pei Heng and said, "Oh? They are looking for you, for the matter of judgment? ”

Pei Heng nodded, looked at Qiao You and said, "Yes, she said that she was afraid that she would be involved, and then she was afraid that she would confiscate the one thousand taels of silver." ”

"How do you show favor to this?" Qiao You frowned, his eyes full of doubtful applications: "Where is there such a good thing?" Didn't they think about this result when they did things in the first place? ”

Pei Heng sighed, looked at Qiao You and said, "I don't know about this, but if I get the emperor's reward in the future, I will reluctantly share some with them." ”

Qiao You nodded helplessly, after so many things, now he can only reluctantly accept the fact that he and the Hu family are family.

After all, I called her "Little Niang", and Xiaoniang is also a mother, so I can't ignore it.

She sighed and said to Pei Heng: "Then, you should be careful in the future, don't let them know." ”
