Di Qing, the deputy privy envoy, had one of his subordinates named Shi Yu, who had been following Di Qing since he was in Yanzhou.

Shi Yu was upright, brave in battle, and extremely righteous, so he was also promoted to Bianjing by Di Qing to be his cronie, and he was also Di Qing's good brother.

On that day, Shi Yu was on a break in the middle of the year, and asked a few brothers to eat and drink on the street outside Donghuamen, but he was drunk and took care of an injustice on the way home.

I saw that under the archway of the teaching hall outside the Donghua Gate, there was a woman kneeling to bury her father, which originally attracted the pity of everyone, but there was an official eunuch who took a fancy to this woman and wanted to rob her home as a concubine.

Shi Yu originally couldn't see this kind of gentleman bullying the weak, and he ate too much wine, and for a while the strength of the wine surged up, and he was not afraid of heaven and earth, and he went up and beat this Yanei with three punches and two kicks.

Who knew that this person couldn't help beating, and Shi Yu beat him to death in a few clicks. Shi Yu was scared for a while and didn't dare to go home, but went straight to Di Qing's house.

When he was in Yanzhou, Di Qing, as a general of Hujie, brought out a brave Di family army. Not only because he fought bravely, but also because he took the lead and mingled with the soldiers.

Every time Di Qing gets the spoils, he is distributed to his subordinates first, his subordinates make mistakes, Di Qing does not allow others to punish them are their own convictions, and they receive punishments, to put it bluntly, Di Qing is very "protective calves", so the army he led is very cohesive.

Every time the sergeant of the Di family army was rewarded, he would say a word, "This is all rewarded by Grandpa Di." Therefore, Shi Yu got into trouble, and the first person who remembered was Di Qing.

When he arrived at Di Qing's house, Shi Yujiu was also half awake, he took off his shirt and knelt in front of Di Qing's door with his bare chest.

"Grandpa Di save me!"

Di Qing came out, saw Shi Yu pitiful, and asked, "Shi Yu, what did you do?" ”

Shi Yu knocked his head loudly, and his forehead was bleeding before he said: "The last general should die, on the way, I saw a woman who was a gentleman who forcibly sold her body to bury her father, and the road saw that he was uneven and beat him." ”

Di Qing said: "Since that woman was planning to sell herself to bury her father, if that gentleman wanted to buy it, wouldn't it be a good thing for her." ”

"But he didn't want to give money to bury her father for the woman."

"You are too reckless, if he doesn't want to give money, just persuade him to give money, you really can't have your own Imperial City Division to deal with it, why do you have to start first."

"The general's lesson is that the last general has already learned his mistake. It's just that I still need Grandpa Di to save me in this future. ”

Di Qing saw that Shi Yu knew his mistake, so he said: "You are guilty of asking for money like this, you must have beaten people very hard, you tell me whose family it is, I will intercede for you, try to suppress this matter, no matter whether you lose money or things, I will naturally not sit idly by." Although he is unreasonable in this matter, you are not right, and you must show sincerity to make amends when you get to people, you know? ”

Shi Yu said with a bitter face: "Grandpa Di, I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”

"How?"

"I beat that dumb boy to death."

Di Qing also gasped, "What, you beat someone to death?" Di Qing began to groan, how is this good.

Shi Yu saw Di Qing groaning, and kowtowed again: "Grandpa Di save me!" ”

Di Qing sighed and said: "Alas, this is at the foot of the imperial city, naturally it is not as good as the frontier, even if I have the heart to save you, but human life is at stake, I am afraid that I am also powerless!" ”

At this moment, Feng Jieyuan, the official of the Imperial City Division, had already brought people to the door of Di Qing's house. Di Qing hurriedly asked people to help Shi Yu up and greeted him out.

This Feng Jieyuan was quite unhappy with Di Qing in the court because of his different political views, and it was only because his official position was lower than Di Qing that he had to bow his head to Di Qing.

At this time, Feng Jieyuan saw Di Qing Shili and said: "Feng Jieyuan, the official of the Imperial City Division, participates in Di Shu's envoy. ”

Di Qing helped the other party up and asked, "Envoy Feng, somehow came to my mansion!" ”

Feng Jieyuan saw Di Qing asking knowingly, and said coldly: "Di Shu's envoy, Shi Yu, the capital of the privy mansion, beat people outside the Donghua Gate, causing death, and someone reported that he ran into your mansion. The subordinate was ordered to arrest and asked Di Shumi's assistance in apprehending the culprit. ”

Di Qing frowned, he wanted to hand over Shi Yu, but this Feng Jieyuan has always been at odds with himself, at this time, looking at the other party's unruly appearance, his heart sank, and said: "I have never seen any sinners, please ask Feng Si to find it elsewhere!" ”

Feng Jieyuan thought that Di Qing would cooperate with the investigation and hand over the criminals, but seeing that Di Qing resolutely denied it, he refused to cooperate. His official position was below him, and it was inconvenient to tear his face with him, so he had to step back and say:

"Privy Envoy Di, the lower official is disturbed, if you encounter this celebrity again, please be sure to arrest him in the Imperial City."

Di Qing said impatiently: "Well, this official knows. ”

As soon as Feng Jieyuan left, Di Qing hurriedly called out Shi Yu, "Brother Shi, something happened suddenly, I can save you for a while, but I can't protect you for a lifetime." Now you quickly disguise yourself and run out of the capital, go to Yanzhou to see if you can break out of the world again, and I will find a way to send your family to Yanzhou to meet you. ”

Shi Yu kowtowed, and a big man cried like a tearful man and said: "Thank you Grandpa Di for saving your life, if you can not die this time, I will definitely repay you in the future!" ”

Di Qing hugged Shi Yu and said, "We are all lifelong friends, why bother to say such life-threatening words." As he spoke, he ordered someone to take out a hundred taels of silver and give it to Shi Yu, and arranged for someone to send him out of the side door.

After Feng Jieyuan of the Imperial City Division left, he went directly to the privy envoy Han Qi's mansion.

Han Qi originally knew that Di Qing was born in the green forest and was a person who was assigned to the army, but he never thought that Di Qing would ignore the royal law and only care about the righteousness of the rivers and lakes to save people. He personally led troops to round up Di Qingfu and arrested Shi Yu.

When Han Qi appeared in his mansion, Di Qing immediately felt that something was wrong, what a stupid mistake he had just made, not only did he not save Shi Yu, but he folded himself in.

Han Qi said to Di Qing: "Deputy Envoy Di, you are already an official of the imperial court, how can you ignore the royal law and harbor people for the sake of righteousness in the rivers and lakes, where are you saving him, you are really harming others and yourself!" ”

At this moment, Di Qing also said regretfully: "Alas, it's too late to regret! ”

Han Qi also said regretfully: "Since Deputy Envoy Di knows his mistake, he will go with this official and wait for His Majesty to convict him personally!" ”

Di Qing had no choice but to obey his orders and was escorted to the prison of the Criminal Department by Han Qi.

After the official Zhao Zhen heard that Di Qing, the privy deputy envoy, covered up his subordinate Shi Yu being sent to prison, he also felt sorry for him. He also contributed to Zhao Zhen's pro-government seizure of power, and was trusted by Zhao Zhen, and Zhao Zhen naturally had a heart of love.

However, in view of the strictness of the law, he did not dare to go beyond it, so he had to do his best to coordinate within a limited scope. Zhao Zhen knew that Di Qing was Ye Pei's brother, so he kept this news tightly sealed and forbade anyone to mention it to Ye Pei.

Guo Shouxuan was overjoyed when he learned the news and organized his cronies to impeach Di Qing.

Zhao Zhen wanted to suppress the case, but the entire Bianliang City was in an uproar, even if the official family was intentionally partial, he didn't dare to be too obvious.

The weather is getting colder, and the cold winter is approaching in a blink of an eye, and Di Qing has also been locked up in prison for more than a month, and the case has not yet been decided.

The military generals were divided into two factions and argued.

The generals suggested that they should be lightly attacked, Shi Yu killed the wicked, Di Qing and Shi Yu both made great achievements on the front line,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Even if you make up for it, you should do it lightly, otherwise it will hurt the hearts of thousands of soldiers who are defending the territory on the frontier.

The civil officials believed that the state had its own laws, and the family had its own rules, and even if the prince broke the law, he should be guilty of the same crime as the common people. Di Qing, as a privy deputy, knew the law and violated the law, and should be severely punished to set an example.

Zhao Zhen was worried about this matter, so he had to leave the case approval in the middle first.

On this day, Ye Pei was preparing Tu Su wine for the New Year, and she knew that her brother Di Qing liked to drink, so she specially prepared a copy for Lin Bihan to send to him. But when Lin Bihan came back, he anxiously told Ye Pei a bad news, Di Qing was sent to the prison of the Criminal Department for shielding his subordinates.

Ye Pei was also quite anxious when she heard this, she complained that Di Qing acted recklessly and should not only care about righteousness and ignore the royal law, but at the same time she appreciated Di Qing's righteousness and did not betray his friends to seek glory.

She paced back and forth in Qifeng Pavilion, thinking of a way, but she didn't worry too much about Di Qing, on the one hand, she trusted that Zhao Zhen would not really do anything to Di Qing, and on the other hand, she knew that Di Qing's violation was only a demotion and a fine, and the crime would not lead to death.

But in the afternoon, a small colonel dressed as a guard appeared in Qifeng Pavilion.

He called himself Chen Ge, and he was currently a prison warden in the prison of the Criminal Department, because he had been a guard under Di Qing and had received Di Qing's kindness, so he risked his life to report something to Ye Pei.

Someone wanted Di Qing's life tonight! Because Di Qing had an old wound very close to the centrifugal mouth when he was fighting in Yanzhou, they wanted to make a fuss about the wound to make him look like the old wound had relapsed and died.

Ye Pei was shocked, "What?!" Who is so vicious? ”

Chen Ge said: "Zhou Jingting, the secretary of the Criminal Department. ”

"Why did he frame the Privy Envoy?"

Chen Ge looked at Ye Pei, and only after a while did he whisper: "He was entrusted by Guo Shouxuan!" ”

Ye Peiben didn't fully trust Chen Ge's words, but as soon as she heard Guo Shouxuan's name, she immediately understood. "Okay, I got it. Thank you for telling me. ”

After Chen Ge left, Miao Jinhe immediately said to Ye Pei: "The county lord must not listen to this person's words just now, they must have colluded to pull the county lord into the water." ”

Ye Pei gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know. ”

Concerned about the chaos, Ye Pei paced uneasily and said: "Just now I scolded my righteous brother for being stupid, why did he take in Shi Yu, now I understand his mood at that time, since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness cannot be both!" ”

Ye Pei looked at Miao Jinhe and Lin Bihan, and slowly analyzed it to the two of them: "This must be Guo Furong telling him that his father came to murder me, but he pulled Di Qing to make a backstop."

The primary school sent today is basically Guo Shouxuan's people, and they deliberately led me into action, so it is best to arrest them and punish them together. But if I don't do anything tonight, they might kill Di Qing in earnest.

This matter started because of me, even if I am punished, I can only save my brother-in-law, and I can't really watch him be killed. Winning or losing the struggle in the palace is nothing, but if you lose your life, you can't get anything back. ”

Miao Jinhe said: "They took a fancy to the fact that the county lord valued love and righteousness, and deliberately framed him." ”

Ye Pei sighed and said: "The soldiers are coming to block, the water is coming to cover the earth, at present, we can only take one step at a time." Jinhe, you go with me to the official's house to plead for mercy first. ”

Lin Bihan said: "The county lord must be careful, these villains of them can do anything, you must be careful." ”

Ye Pei nodded, and then walked out of Qifeng Pavilion with Miao Jinhe.

When Ye Pei arrived at Zhao Zhen's Funing Palace, Huang Jinbao said that the official family had not yet gone down to the court at this moment. Ye Pei was shocked again, something must have happened.

Ye Pei took Miao Jinhe and hurriedly rushed to the vertical arch hall of the official Zhao Zhen on weekdays.
