Li Shimin called the cell boss over, took out two ingots of silver and stuffed them to the cell boss: "Brother take the silver and drink and eat with the brothers, this king has a few words to say to Master Pei." ”

The cell leader was overjoyed when he saw the silver ingot, and replied with a smile: "Okay, Your Highness, you can talk." As he spoke, he waved his hand to the nearby jailers to leave.

Li Shimin saw that there was no one else around, so he said: "You are by no means simply greedy for money. Say, why? ”

"Your Highness is wise. The subordinates are really forced to do this, and they all blame the subordinates for raising a son who is not angry! Pei Wenjing's eyes flashed with anger.

Pei Zimu, Pei Wenjing's son on his knees, relying on his father as an official, is quite domineering, but in fact, there is still a little kindness in his heart. Pei Wenjing calmed down and began to tell about Pei Zimu's romance.

On that day, Pei Zimu was wandering in the market with a few rich children as usual and met a woman. Pei Zimu saw that this woman's appearance was really fascinating: her appearance was very good, with curved willow eyebrows and big watery eyes. She is slightly chubby, wearing a pale green shirt and skirt, and the skirt is tied high above the chest, which makes the chest exude a sultry temptation. The moment when he looked back and smiled at a few sons was enough to make people fall for themselves. With a maid by her side, she must also be a young lady from a rich family. It's just that this woman has a sense of seduction, and it's hard to believe that she is a rich daughter from a noble family.

Pei Zimu fell in love at first sight, and his eyes couldn't take his eyes off the woman. A young man next to him saw his thoughts, and said with a slightly mocking smile: "What? Pei Dagongzi is tempted? I think that although this woman has a world-class face and a graceful body, she is not an honest person in her bones. You don't daydream. ”

Pei Zimu glanced back, and then fixed his gaze on the woman.

"This woman's name is Liu Qianlian, she was born to Liu Yuan's concubine room, do you know that this concubine room was once the top brand of Wenxiang Building."

"Oh, no wonder there is a coquettish energy in his bones, it turns out to be an ancestral heirloom, haha!" A few boys around him sneered.

Someone else retorted: "Hey, her appearance can be regarded as one of the best in Chang'an City." Don't look at the surface, in fact, this woman is still a little tall. I heard that the people who proposed relatives are about to break through the threshold, and there are many princes and nobles, but she didn't choose any of them. ”

"And such a thing? Look at her like this, how difficult is she? Not like that. ”

"I heard that she has a distant cousin, how many years, from time to time to come to Chang'an City, just for her. She still hasn't said yes. ”

So reserved!

Hearing what they said, Pei Zimu became even more interested. Since then, she has been looking for various reasons to contact Liu Qianlian every day.

A few days later, Liu Qianlian's distant cousin came to Chang'an City from the countryside. This distant cousin's name is Wang Junhao, and he is the son of a local squire Wang. When she came, Liu Qianlian occasionally felt unwell, Wang Junhao bought the quack, and the quack doctor pretended to diagnose and said: "Miss's illness is not a major illness, just push the uterus and invigorate the blood treatment." ”

After that, Liu Qianlian was tricked into the room and forcibly defiled by Wang Junhao.

After this incident was known to Pei Zimu, he beat Wang Junhao to death in a fit of rage.

Hearing this, Li Shimin looked shocked and uneasy. It's not easy to take someone's life.

"Exactly, Your Highness." Pei Wenjing responded, "Squire Wang is only reporting this matter to the local yamen now, but according to the law, cases involving court officials need to be directly accepted by the Criminal Department. In this way, the adverse effects of this matter will inevitably widen, and it will affect a wide range of officials, especially you, Your Highness. ”

"So, what are you going to do?"

The subordinates planned to give a large amount of compensation to Squire Wang, and also bribed the local trial officials to quietly suppress the matter. You know, in the case of a murder, the hush money is absolutely huge, and I can only find ways to make money. That's why he made a mistake and dumped the imperial grain to the people's warehouse, hoping to sell it at a good price. Delusional hope that there will be a good harvest next year and then fill the vacancy. Speaking of this, Pei Wenjing unconsciously lowered her voice.

"You are confused, if there is a famine in the coming year, how will you make up your position?"

Pei Wenjing felt that she had done something recklessly in this matter, and let her opponent grab the handle and fall into deep self-blame.
