Chapter 245: Collecting Evidence of Crimes
After entering the capital, Pei Yao has the manpower that he can mobilize.
Coupled with the secret assistance of King Dun, it is not too difficult to collect evidence that King Ming secretly sent people to intervene in the search and rescue.
But the difficult thing is that to find the real intention of King Ming to send these people is not to help, but to kill Pei Yao.
After all, anyone can play a play.
Emperor Chengjing was already partial to King Ming, and at that time, King Ming insisted that he sent people to participate in the search and rescue because he was worried about Pei Yao's safety and wanted to do more, so it would be difficult to refute.
Previously, Pei Yao had a piece of evidence, which was brought by Fang Yu, and the long sword he snatched from the guards of the Ming Palace.
The weapons and attire of the guards of each province are all self-made and recognizable.
But unfortunately, because of improper storage, the long sword was found and taken away when King Ming's people searched Liu's house.
At that time, because of the sword, there was some danger.
So now it's gone, and you have to collect it again.
Not only the Ming Palace, but also the head of the palace, Pei Yao also managed to use the original way to get in touch with Rui Concubine.
This is for the sake of Empress Cha Lee.
Pei Yao has been fighting with King Ming for many years, and he still knows King Ming very well.
In the words of later generations, Chunchun is a mother treasure man who is ambitious but has no ability.
So in such a thing, Queen Li must be involved, so she can be regarded as a breakthrough point.
In order to cooperate with Pei Yao and buy him time to collect evidence of King Ming's crimes, Prime Minister Lu Cheng and Hu Daixu also pretended to still search for Pei Yao's whereabouts on both sides of the Xiang River every day.
After all, as long as they didn't find Pei Yao for a day, King Ming would feel that he still had a chance.
Although it won't be too long, it will certainly be useful.
If you can't find the evidence, make it yourself!
Fortunately, King Ming does things, and his hands and feet are really not clean and neat, so he might as well Queen Li.
Especially now that Pei Yao's whereabouts have not been found for a long time, King Ming is a little impatient, and his work has revealed a lot of flaws.
Pei Yao was also ruthless this time, and directly ordered someone to catch him alive.
The guards sent out by King Ming, once discovered, grabbed the interrogation, and those who were willing to confess left a life, which was counted as a witness, and the bones were hard, and they didn't bother to grind, so they killed them directly.
Among these guards, the most important thing is King Ming's personal attendant, a person named Zhang Jing'an.
He has been working for King Ming for many years, and he will definitely be indispensable this time.
Pei Yao insisted on fighting for a result this time, so he directly offered a reward for this person among his secret guards.
It was not in vain that he spent so much effort, and in just one day, this man named Zhang Jing'an was captured alive.
In the past, this person only stayed in King Ming's mansion, accompanying King Ming, and it was not easy to catch, but now he doesn't want to go out to search for Pei Yao's whereabouts, as long as he comes out, then there will be a chance to start.
Especially this time, Pei Yao caught him hard, which meant that he would do whatever it takes, so the group of people led by Zhang Jing'an, including him, were captured alive.
When the person was taken to the other courtyard, in front of Pei Yao, although Zhang Jingan was embarrassed, he was still hard-boned.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has good skills, and the lower officials know that you will definitely save the day."
"Since Commander Zhang knows Lone's ability, why bother to fight against Lone."
Pei Yao was dressed in a white robe, sitting behind the tea table, while talking, brewing tea in his hands, looking very lazy and comfortable, as if everything was under his control.
Such a gesture undoubtedly made Zhang Jing's peace of mind shake.
He thought that even if Pei Yao was immortal, he should be hiding somewhere in embarrassment, seriously injured, in tattered clothes, and hungry, where would he be so clean and immortal-like and noble.
"To each his own master."
Although shaken, Zhang Jingan is still a head iron and still does not let go.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrested the lower official, I don't know what it means, the lower official is the personal attendant of King Ming, His Royal Highness wants to take down the official, so I should tell King Ming, I am afraid it is not appropriate to tie it up like this."
After he said this, he saw Pei Yao suddenly raise his eyes, and his gaze stabbed at him coldly, like a goshawk, sharp and sharp, as if it could penetrate people.
"Good birds choose trees to perch on, and they have the heart to cherish their talents, doesn't Commander Zhang have the heart to cherish his life?"
Maybe Pei Yao's aura was too strong, Zhang Jing'an felt stiff at the moment, his scalp was a little numb, his throat seemed to be pinched, and he couldn't speak.
And Pei Yao doesn't seem to have much patience.
Seeing that he didn't speak, he spilled the cup of tea he had just brewed in his hand and said lightly.
"Take it down, when will you change your mind, when will you come back to see Gu again."
After the others were pulled out, King Darkplace walked out from behind the screen.
"What is the imperial brother going to do next, externally, you have been missing for a few days."
"With physical witnesses, it's natural time to confront each other in court." Pei Yao said coldly, personally re-brewed a cup of tea, and handed it to King Dun, "Thank you for the second brother this time, the kindness is in the lonely heart, and I will thank you in the future." ”
King Dun took the teacup with both hands and said respectfully, "It's all what the courtiers should do." ”
Inside the small annex.
And that night, King Ming didn't wait for Zhang Jing'an to come back, and he realized that something was wrong.
Zhang Jing'an is his right-hand man, and he has to report every day, but he didn't show up tonight, so it won't be an accident.
But if something happens, how can no one come to report it, Zhang Jing'an, as the commander of the guards of the Ming Palace, will not take people with him.
After pacing back and forth in the house for a while, he finally felt uneasy, so he sent someone else out to look for him.
In the middle of the night, when people came back, they said that they didn't find anything, and the brothers who went out with Zhang Jing'an all disappeared together.
King Ming naturally didn't believe this statement, and only ordered them to look for it again.
Even if Pei Yao disappeared, how could it be that even his people disappeared so much.
With an uneasy heart, King Ming couldn't sleep all night.
And the next day, when he went to court with red blood in his eyes, the moment he stepped into the Jinluan Palace, his heart sank to the bottom, and the whole person was like five thunderbolts, and he was suddenly stunned on the spot.
Pei Yao, it's Pei Yao.
At this moment, the person who is dressed in the prince's auspicious costume and stands in the center of the hall with his head held high, isn't it Pei Yao who has disappeared for several days, and he has not seen anyone alive or dead.
"You, you."
"King Ming seemed surprised when he saw Lonely."
Pei Yao turned around, looked at him with a smile, and flicked his sleeves, looking light and breezy.
"Or is it that Lone can stand here in a good manner, disappointing King Ming, and being surprised?"
Pei Yao's voice was in his ears, but King Ming felt that his whole brain exploded.
No matter how stupid he is, he can think of what it means that Pei Yao can stand here in a good position at this moment, and Zhang Jing'an is gone.
Either Zhang Jingan defected, or Zhang Jingan was arrested, or he may have betrayed him a long time ago.
At this time, the old father-in-law of the king of Ming, Liu Minghe, the secretary of the ministry, arrived, stood behind him and called twice, only to make him return to his senses slightly.
Before he could say anything, he heard a noise at the door.
Hearing this, the hundred officials knelt down, and saw a bright yellow dragon robe hurriedly coming down from the sedan chair and hurriedly entering the main hall.
The expression on Emperor Chengjing's face was also surprised and flustered, and after seeing Pei Yao really standing on the Jinluan Palace, he gasped in his heart for no reason.
Because although he didn't participate in this incident, he had already guessed a lot in the past few days, and he didn't stop it, pretending not to know, so he didn't have the intention of taking the opportunity to get rid of Pei Yao.
And at this time, Pei Yao was fine, and suddenly came back silently, and Emperor Chengjing was also very distracted in his heart.
