The capital city of the river in the south is in the bitter summer of June, the heat is unbearable, and the streets are quiet, but at this time, the sound of blowing and blowing can be heard at the corner.

Cheng Yiwan sat in the sedan chair, expressionless, obviously it was a happy day, but there was no smile at the corner of her mouth, this family affair was forced by the Li Governor's mansion, how could she be satisfied, if it wasn't for her father, how could she enter this sedan chair and be a concubine for nearly fifty people that year.

"Stop the car!"

Before the sedan chair walked to the place, someone shouted to stop the sedan chair, and the sedan chair obediently fell to the ground, Cheng Yiwan frowned and lifted the sedan curtain.

The surroundings were quiet, and she could only hear someone talking loudly, she stretched out her hand and pulled off the red hijab, and the person kneeling on the ground in front of her, and the person who shouted to stop the sedan chair was actually holding a warrant from Pei Shangyu, the prime minister of the Southern Dynasty.

"There is a great drought in the world, the prefect is greedy for ink, and now the prime minister has beheaded Li Dekai, the main bookkeeper Cheng Wenxi is in prison for self-theft, cholera politics and law, and he has now been imprisoned, and he will be tried again at a later date!"

After the person sitting on the horse finished reading, he was about to turn around and leave, and after Cheng Yiwan reacted, he hurriedly ran and shouted: "My lord! My lord! ”

"What?"

Cui Guo stopped his horse when he heard her shout, and asked sideways, Cheng Yiwan looked up at him and swallowed his saliva: "Dare to ask what the lord just said is Cheng Wenxi, where was he imprisoned?" ”

"You girl is so strange, she was naturally imprisoned in the yamen prison."

"Yes, yes, I'm confused, so may I ask, who is the presiding judge?"

The prefect of Jiangdu has been beheaded, and the official in charge of the trial can never be from Jiangdu Mansion, Cheng Yiwan only feels that her brain is now groggy, and this change came too quickly, which made her a little at a loss.

A month ago, she was forced to marry by Li Dekai and asked her to be her concubine, his father was just a nine-grade petty official, where could he be the enemy, but I didn't expect that when Li Dekai took her in, things were reversed, but why do you want to say that her father is guarding and stealing, her father is so incorruptible, it is absolutely impossible to do such a thing.

"Pei Xiang."

Cui Guo only left these two words and left, and the adult said, if the person in the sedan chair asked about the presiding judge, he could only say the word Pei Xiang.

Cheng Yiwan heard the word Pei Xiang, and suddenly raised his head, the presiding judge was actually the first evil god of the Southern Dynasty, Pei Shangyu?!

Li Dekai fell, naturally no one stopped her anymore, she walked back to Cheng's house in a distraught, and the little maid Zhimei who was guarding the door saw her and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "The girl is back, the slave heard that the Li prefect was beheaded, is the girl okay?" ”

"I'm fine, I was stopped on the way."

Zhemei breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her words, and then approached her and whispered: "The master has been imprisoned, and the lady is sad at this moment." ”

Cheng Wenxi and Mrs. Huo Shuyun have been married for 20 years, and the husband and wife have a deep relationship, so when something happened to her father, her mother was naturally sad, and today was really chaotic, she held Zhemei's hand and said, "Help me change my clothes first." ”

Zhemei nodded, took her to change her clothes, and when she walked to Huo Shuyun's room, she heard her crying, and Cheng Zhiqing, who was squatting on the ground to comfort her mother, showed a reluctant smile when she saw her sister.

"Sister."

He walked out, his face was full of sorrow, because of Li Dekai's forced marriage, the Cheng family was exhausted during this time, but he didn't expect that now Cheng Wenxi also had an accident, how could people bear it.

"Qing'er, you take care of your mother, Sister go and find out about your father."

Cheng Zhiqing nodded: "Sister, it's impossible for my father to guard and steal." ”

"Sister knows, you are obedient at home and take care of your mother."

She stretched out her hand and touched Cheng Zhiqing's head, now that the family can withstand it, she is the only one left, and she can't fall down anymore.

-

In the prefect's mansion, at the end of the corridor, there is a lake, in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, someone is lying on a rocking chair, and the small guy next to him shakes the seven-wheel fan in his hand, and the ice under it is cool, dispelling a lot of unbearable summer heat.

Cui Guo walked in slowly and saluted respectfully to the man in the rocking chair: "My lord, the matter has been done." ”

With a bang, the fan was opened, and the gauze covering the face fell to the ground, Pei Shangyu stood up, shook the fan in his hand, and the voice was like the coolest spring in summer: "Did she ask?" ”

Pei Shangyu turned around, revealing a stunning face, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, thin lips slightly open, eyes like stars, but no emotion, only when she was mentioned, there was light flashing in her eyes.

"Miss Cheng asked the chief judge, and her subordinates replied to Pei Xiang according to your instructions."

Cui Guo replied, Pei Shangyu hooked his lips and chuckled: "Hang Li Dekai's head at the gate of Jiangdu City to set an example." ”

The person who moves him Pei Shangyu's eyes should know what the fate is.

-

ran for five days in a row, but no one dared to see her, Cheng Yiwan sat on the steps in front of the mansion and sighed, now she can't even see her father's face, and she doesn't know what the situation is.

"Miss Cheng, why are you still here?"

Cui saw Cheng Yiwan when he passed out of the gate of the mansion, and Cheng Yiwan obviously saw him too, and hurriedly stood up: "Lord Cui, my father ......"

No one was willing to see her, and no one was willing to help her, she couldn't make any amount of money, and her mother was also too worried and fell ill, and the Cheng family was in a mess.

"Master Cui, you are an official in the capital, I beg you, please tell me, how can I save my father."

As she spoke, she actually knelt down for Cui Guo, so frightened that Cui Guo hurriedly stopped her: "Miss Cheng, it's not that I don't help you in this matter, but the chief judge is Pei Xiang, the adult is iron-faced and selfless, and hates corruption the most, if the girl wants to save Master Cheng, it is better to go to the Jiangdu Prefect's Mansion to find Pei Xiang." ”

"By the way, I heard that the embezzlement account book was found on the case of Master Cheng, but I am afraid that Master Cheng will be more auspicious, and I am afraid that he will be beheaded."

After leaving this sentence, Cui Guo left, if the adult asked him to bring it, he had already brought it, as for whether this Cheng girl went to find Pei Xiang, he thought, she would definitely go.

Cheng Yiwan looked at his back, thinking of Li Dekai's head hanging at the gate of the city, and was afraid for a while, she didn't want to go over to find Pei Shangyu, but why did he help her, and she couldn't get paid.

But Cui Guo said that now the only one who can save her father is Pei Shangyu, and her father's life is a matter of Pei Shangyu's words, the hand hidden under the sleeve is clenched into a fist, but it is slowly released.

An hour later, Pei Shangyu, who was feeding the fish in the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, heard the housekeeper report that there was a Cheng girl outside the door who asked to see him.

He sprinkled the fish food in the lake water, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, only this fish food is tempting enough to make the fish take the bait, don't feed cheap fish food next time." ”

Uncle Zhang, the housekeeper, listened to his words and nodded in response: "The old slave knows." ”

"Go and invite Miss Cheng over."

After a while, Cheng Yiwan was taken by Uncle Zhang to the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, she was holding a carved food box in her hand, which contained the lotus cake she made herself, Pei Shangyu, as the most powerful person in the Southern Dynasty, naturally lacked nothing.

Even if he lacked it, she couldn't afford the money he wanted for Baoyu, but for the sake of her father, she was willing to try.

The Huxin Pavilion was far away, and I don't know how long I walked before I saw the housekeeper in front of me stop, followed by the sound of saluting.

"My lord, the people brought it."

"Stand down."

A magnetic male voice sounded, the housekeeper retreated, Cheng Yiwan always lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the person in front of him, and at this time only she and Pei Shangyu were left in the pavilion.

With a pop, she knelt down and kowtowed to him: "The people's daughter Cheng Yi will meet the prime minister in the evening." ”

After finishing speaking, she didn't wait for a reply, she opened her mouth and repeated it again, and the man's voice sounded a little lazily above her head.

"Look up."

Cheng Yiwan's body trembled a little, and Pei Shangyu's various evil deeds were still in her mind, but when she thought of her father, she still mustered up the courage to raise her head: "My lord." ”

"You are Cheng Wenxi's daughter?"

The person in the rocking chair sat comfortably on it, he raised his eyebrows and asked, Cheng Yiwan smiled back at him, and then she kowtowed to him.

"My lord, my father was wronged, and I beg the adults to save my father."

"It's strange, Benxiang has killed so many people, and you are still the first person to ask Benxiang to save people."

He sneered, stood up, pulled out the sword on the side, and walked in front of her, the cold sword was attached to her face, and Pei Shangyu's eyes were faintly filled with a crazy smile.

"Miss Cheng, it's not difficult to save people from your own appearance, but as everyone knows, your prime minister never makes a loss-making business, what do you exchange for your father's life?"
