Chapter 568: Pei Ji is imprisoned

Ning Ze's use of pseudo-military tactics suddenly disappeared, which frightened Song Gao, Ning Yong, and Shao Yi.

Fortunately, he received a telegram later, and found that he appeared in the direction of Daxing County in the north, and asked his subordinates to summon him to report that he was safe.

Everyone was shocked, how could they be so far away in the blink of an eye?

Then half a day passed, and he returned to the camp with the white light, shuttling between such distant places in such a short time, everyone was happy and convinced of the "mana" of this prince.

Ning Ze talked about what happened in Daxing County, which made them even more incredulous.

On the other hand, Ma Jian drove the expedition in person, led the troops from Wubao County, and hurried to the border area.

The team arrived at the border, and Xin Tieshan led troops to greet them.

Ma Lian, Ma Jin, Ma Xiu, and Pei Jizhu lined up behind Xin Tieshan, and saluted Ma Jian with brushes below: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Ma Jian led the civil and military officials forward, and his eyes fell on Pei Ji.

Ma Jian didn't speak, and the civil and military officials naturally didn't dare to speak, and the scene was quiet.

Xin Tieshan, Ma Lian, Ma Jin, Ma Xiu, and Pei Ji lowered their heads, no one dared to speak, and they all waited for Ma Jian to speak.

After a while, Ma Jian finally opened his mouth and directly ordered the few people in front of him to figure out the situation: "Come on! Take Pei Ji down and take him to the prison for trial!"

When the order was given, a soldier would walk behind Pei Ji and control him.

With Pei Ji's force, it can actually be easily broken away. But he didn't do this, but looked up blankly and asked, "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

"You know it in your heart!" Ma Jian said coldly.

"The minister doesn't know what crime he has committed, please make it clear to His Majesty!" Pei Ji was not convinced, and shouted loudly.

The civil and military officials gave way to the left and right, and Ma Yuan, the princess of Chongwen, rode forward on horseback, and said to him in Pei Ji's surprised expression: "Husband, why did you collude with foreign enemies?

"What collusion with foreign enemies?" Pei Ji hurriedly shouted injustice, "Your Majesty, someone must have framed him, and the minister is loyal to His Majesty......"

"Your Majesty, is there a mistake?" Ma Lian, Ma Jin, and Ma Xiu were all surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward to speak for Pei Ji, "General Pei has always been loyal, how could he betray?"

Xin Tieshan obviously knew the reason, but he also pretended to be surprised and helped to intercede: "There must be a misunderstanding here, please let Your Majesty know about it!"

For the few people who helped him speak, Pei Ji cast a grateful look, and then said loudly to Ma Jian: "Your Majesty Mingjian!

"Cangshan, King Yun's Tomb!" Ma Jian glared at Pei Ji and asked stunned, "What about this place?"

Hearing the words Cangshan and King Yun's tomb? Pei Ji chuckled in his heart. I thought that this was a top secret between myself and Ning Ze, and no third person would know about it, how could I say it from His Majesty's mouth today?

Maybe he thought too much? Even if someone told him what was happening inside the tomb, only he and Ning Ze knew, what could people outside say? At most, he suspected that he had talked to Ning Ze in the tomb? Not to mention that he had not betrayed Nan Cheng at all, and it was impossible for him to be caught. Thinking of this, he hurriedly replied: "The minister has ordered someone to report this matter, and all the information related to the tomb of King Yun is presented to His Majesty." The minister just escorted Ning Ze to the tomb of King Yun on the way out of the Minjiang River, because Ning Ze went to the tomb to investigate, worried that he would destroy the relics of the ancients, so he entered with him? That's all. Who framed the minister for collaborating with the enemy and treason? It is simply ridiculous! The minister is willing to confront him face to face, and ask Your Majesty to bring the person who has been framed and traitor!"

Ma Jian snorted coldly when he heard this: "General Pei and Ning Ze went to the tomb together that day, did you find anything?"

Pei Ji's gaze met with Ma Jian's gaze and quickly moved away. I felt a little uneasy in my heart: Your Majesty won't know about the treasure, will you? No third person knows about it except Ning Ze and me. Unless Ning Ze informs His Majesty, but he doesn't have to do this, and he swears in front of me. I didn't tell anyone around me.

Thinking of this, he replied loudly: "All the things that were seen and heard in the tomb that day were ordered to be reported truthfully, and there was no concealment!"

Hearing this, Ma Jian couldn't help but sigh. When he asked this, he was testing Pei Ji to see if he would tell the truth. As expected, Pei Ji chose to hide the truth from himself, which made him quite disappointed: "Report it truthfully?" In this case, why did the general buy a house and hide treasures in a remote village near Cangshan, order his cronies to protect him, and urgently summoned Pei's family to go there, intending to move his family here?"

I thought that no one would know about it, but when it came out of His Majesty's mouth, Pei Ji was struck by lightning, and his eyes were round and he looked at each other in disbelief.

Who leaked the news, or who betrayed him? Thinking about it, only the guards on the other side of the house, the cronies in charge of the guards are the most likely. But these cronies were all brought out by themselves, and they didn't know about the treasure......

Could it be that one of them accidentally discovered the treasure hidden in the cellar and felt that he had colluded with Ning Ze, so he betrayed himself and reported it to His Majesty? Thinking about it, this possibility is the greatest.

Who betrayed him, and how could he explain it to His Majesty?

Seeing that Pei Ji was stunned, Ma Jian asked coldly: "I am so important to the general, and I will marry the most favored princess to you, the general makes me feel cold!"

Looking at Pei Ji's speechless appearance, Princess Chongwen, who had a hint of luck in her heart, was deeply shocked: "Husband, the concubine has always hoped that this matter is not true. How could you collude with foreign enemies and betray Nancheng? You explain! What the hell is going on?"

How can this be explained? Pei Ji's mind was blank, and he didn't expect this situation at all.

He is now a whole stupid, as if the computer has crashed and the whole program has stuck.

Seeing that he was stunned and didn't even explain, Ma Jian ordered in a cold voice: "Take Pei Ji down!"

The soldiers swarmed up, snatched Pei Ji's weapon, and quickly tied him up.

Ma Lian, Ma Jin, and Ma Xiu were also stupid, and it was so sudden that no one reacted.

Pei Ji's subordinates were all controlled, for fear that something would happen.

When Ma Jian entered the pass, he first sent troops to consolidate the city defense, and immediately began to investigate Pei Ji's matter.

Pei Ji was placed under house arrest, and his mind was completely confused.

He didn't think that the informant would be Ning Ze, but he felt that he was one of the cronies guarding the house.

So after being imprisoned, I kept thinking about who was the person who discovered the secret of the cellar and reported it to the imperial court. Is your treasure safe?

Now that Jin County has been occupied by Ning Ze's soldiers and horses, has his own people arrived safely, what happened to reporting his cronies? Is there something wrong with those treasures? And how to explain to His Majesty and the princess that he has not colluded with foreign enemies? It seems that this situation is really difficult to explain.

After all, only Ning Ze and himself were the only ones who entered the tomb together, and then they conspired with Ning Ze to divide the treasure equally and hide the treasure in the village.

From my own point of view, it can be said that I am fascinated by money for a while, and I am simply confused by money, and there is nothing else in pure greed. But from His Majesty's point of view, no matter how you look at it, it is a secret communication between yourself and Ning Ze, and it is normal to be so angry.

No, we must find a way to explain it clearly to Your Majesty! Pei Ji secretly reminded himself that he must stay sober at this time. Especially the princess is also here, as long as you tell the truth, you can definitely tell it clearly!

While he was thinking, there was a voice outside, as if it was Ma Lian.

After a while, the guards let him go, and the three pony generals, Ma Lian, Ma Jin, and Ma Xiu, entered the house.

Pei Ji was tied up by five flowers, sitting in the house unable to move, and when he saw them coming in, he hurriedly said: "Several, quickly release the tie for me! I have been wronged." ”

"General Pei," Ma Lian gave him a helpless look, sighed, and said, "Your Majesty is particularly angry, we don't dare to make a mistake! It's just that I am familiar with you, and I can't believe that the general will betray Nancheng." ”

"I didn't betray Nan Cheng, and I won't betray you!" Pei Ji said hurriedly, "Please ask a few pony generals to come to Your Majesty to help me explain!

"It's not that we don't believe you," said Matthew, "it's just about the treasure of King Yun, can the general explain it?"

Pei Ji smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Yes, a few pony generals, I told you the truth, the matter of King Yun's treasure is indeed that I am too confused and greedy for a while." But seeing so many treasures with one's own eyes is that it is difficult for one person to resist this temptation. I was just confused by Ning Ze for a while, and I wanted to leave those treasures. But you know me, I can't betray Nan Cheng......"

"So King Yun's treasures are all real?" asked Ma Lian.

Pei Ji nodded.

"I'm willing to believe you," seeing him nod, Ma Lian thought carefully and said to him, "The problem is that other people won't believe it, especially Your Majesty! The most important thing is Your Majesty, how do you explain that Ning Ze gave you half of King Yun's treasure, and this treasure is worth as much as the treasury." It's even hard for me to accept this statement, who would be stupid enough to share it equally with the enemy general? Ning Ze has the ability to do something casually in the tomb to make you disappear forever, but instead of doing that, he conspired with you to divide the treasure equally, and even covered for you? That Ning Ze, who is extremely shrewd and even Sima Fa has been calculated, is he willing to give up half of the treasury just because he likes you?"

Pei Ji's head was buzzing, and he subconsciously shook his head.

"Look! you can't even convince yourself. Ma Lian sighed, "Actually, treasure is one thing, just now we asked Your Majesty, the most important thing is the Minjiang County City, why did you let Ning Ze break through and capture Ding Bi in person?"

"This is a misunderstanding!" Pei Ji hurriedly said, "I didn't let him attack Ding Bi in person, just because the team was in front, who would have thought that Ning Ze would suddenly turn around and turn to Minjiang County?

"Then why didn't you stop it?"

"As soon as I heard the news, I immediately ordered the whole army to turn around, but when I chased to the side of Minjiang County, Ning Ze had already taken Ding Bi. Pei Ji replied, "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that he is too fast to react!"

Ma Lian, Ma Jin, and Ma Xiu looked at each other, their expressions a little helpless.

"General Pei, we really want to believe you! But this matter really doesn't make sense, and Your Majesty is very angry, so you can do it yourself!"
