Chapter Thirty-Eight: Prince Ying Escapes
"You get up first, this matter should have been corresponding." Even if Jiang Mingzhi didn't come to beg him, he had to find out who was so bold.
"Thank you, sir." Jiang Mingzhi's body shook slightly, and he got up and retreated as if he had lost his soul.
Pei Zheng's face was also not good-looking, and he immediately retreated with a look of slashing.
Fingertips tapped on the table, in this matter, Pei Zheng already had a candidate in his heart, but he didn't know who could pick up the already dead Prince Ying.
Pei Zheng sat at the table like this, didn't move for a long time, and when he opened his eyes again, he already had a plan in his heart.
"Chop Yun, go and collect evidence that Prince Ying is raising private soldiers, be quick, as for Jiang Shangshu, tell him that this is a good opportunity to apologize for his crimes with death, and he will understand the meaning of his true appearance."
Although Qiyun didn't understand what Pei Zheng meant by this, since the master said that Jiang Shangshu could understand, then he would pass on these words to Jiang Shangshu word for word.
Within a day, Qiyun presented all the things he had searched to Pei Zheng, and the human and material evidence was complete.
Pei Zheng entered the palace on the same day and presented all the evidence to Emperor Qing.
"Your Majesty, the minister never thought that Prince Ying's hatred for the Jiang family had reached the point of being uncontrollable, and recently I heard that Prince Ying personally led troops to kill Jiang Donghai."
"He leads the troops? The soldiers of the British Prince's Palace. Emperor Qing only felt that he was making too much of a fuss, and even the curvature of the corners of his mouth did not change by half a point.
"The minister also wondered, but after investigation, he learned that it was a private soldier raised by Prince Ying."
The hall suddenly fell silent, and Emperor Qing immediately put down the things in his hand, "Private soldiers? ”
"The minister does not dare to deceive His Majesty, it is indeed 20,000 private soldiers."
Emperor Qing's face sank a little more, Xiao Yuan dared to raise 20,000 private soldiers under his nose, what did he want to do!
"How can this be true? Pei Qing, you go immediately and arrest Xiao Jun! ”
Pei Zheng was about to answer, when he heard a sentence from outside the hall, "Father is angry." ”
Xiao Yuan hurriedly came, "Father, the son learned that the emperor was confused and did something wrong, and the emperor was released from the prison on bail by the son, so the son asked for his life and arrested him back with his own hands." ”
Xiao Yuan's appearance calmed down the anger in Emperor Qing's heart a little.
"In that case, then you two will go together." With a wave of his hand, Emperor Qing let the two retreat.
"Lord Zuo Xiang is very sensitive." Out of the main hall, Xiao Yuan stopped.
"Each other." Pei Zheng glanced at Xiao Yuan, as if he understood who was behind this, snorted coldly, and walked away quickly past him.
Back at Zuo Xiang's Mansion, Pei Zheng knew that Xiao Yuan would never invite himself to go for no reason, "Chop the wind, you take a team of people to set off first, and you will definitely catch Xiao Jun's personal stolen goods." ”
"Master rest assured, his subordinates will not fail in their mission!"
As soon as he gave up his hand, he immediately led a team of men out of the capital.
As for Pei Zheng, he waited until Xiao Yuan sent someone to invite him before he set off with him.
Jiang Mingzhi heard that Pei Zheng was going to the place of exile, so he ran outside the mansion gate and stopped Pei Zheng's horses.
"My lord, can you take me with you?"
This time is different from before, the Marquis of Dingguo only said that there were bandits running around, but now this team of people is going to her father, so how can she stay in the capital with peace of mind.
Pei Zheng didn't say anything, and Hongyue hurriedly stepped forward to stop Jiang Mingzhi.
"My lord, I beg you, please take your slave and maid with you." Jiang Mingzhi burst into tears, just wanting to ask Pei Zheng for a favor.
But Pei Zheng didn't give her a chance at all, Hongyue saw that Pei Zheng was not happy on his face, and hurriedly increased his efforts to bring people back.
Jiang Mingzhi cried helplessly, but he could only watch Pei Zheng go farther and farther.
"Lord Zuo Xiang really doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade." Xiao Yuan watched the whole process, and looked aside with the corners of his mouth.
Pei Zheng didn't pick up the stubble with a cold face, and his legs clamped the horse's belly and walked away.
Xiao Yuan sneered, and also chased after him with a horsewhip.
I didn't want them to go halfway, but I saw dust in front of them, and when I looked closely, the leader was actually cutting the wind.
The moment he saw the chopping wind, Pei Zheng's face sank.
"Master."
Chopping Feng dismounted alone and knelt in front of Pei Zheng, behind him, there was no figure of Prince Ying.
Because Xiao Yuan was still beside him, Pei Zheng didn't make a sound, only turned the horse's head and went to the open space on the side.
"What's wrong?" Pei Zheng pursed his thin lips slightly, showing displeasure.
"Back to the master, the subordinates led people to discover the traces of Prince Ying, and they have surrounded people and are about to arrest them, I don't want a group of killers to suddenly kill, they are coming to take Prince Ying's life, and the subordinates are naturally a little more jealous, so they let people run away."
Chopping Wind knelt down in response, no matter what kind of accident happened, the person really couldn't get it back, "Please punish the master." ”
Pei Zheng's eyes were full of gloom, and he waved his hand to let Chopping Wind get up, "I don't blame you for this matter, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always left no room for action." ”
"What the master means, those people are ......" A flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of the slashing wind, and he quickly returned to calm and waited behind Pei Zheng.
Pei Zheng returned to Xiao Yuan, his eyebrows were faint, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really a good method, and he admires it." ”
"Why did Prime Minister Zuo say this?" Xiao Yuan pretended to be confused.
"Prince Ying has fled." Pei Zheng's thin lips lightly opened and spit out a few words, but his eyes fell on Xiao Yuan.
"That's a shame." Xiao Yuan seemed to hear about this for the first time, and he didn't show half of a flaw, "Then I don't know what this matter has to do with this hall?" What do you mean by the words of Lord Zuo Xiangcai? ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not only a good method, but even pretending to be crazy and stupid is so perfect, which is really an eye-opener for the prime minister." When the words fell, Pei Zheng didn't want to entangle with him anymore, so he turned around and walked back.
Xiao Yuan looked at his back, coldly hooked the corners of his mouth, it is impossible for people to find it again, but who knows who is doing this?
The capital, the left prime minister's house
Jiang Mingzhi was stopped by Hongyue, but she refused to go back, stubbornly standing outside the mansion gate, she was waiting for Pei Zheng to come back here!
Hongyue's repeated persuasion was fruitless, so she had no choice but to wait with her.
I didn't want Pei Zheng to wait, but he saw an old man in tattered clothes staring at Jiang Mingzhi.
"Miss?"
The trembling opening attracted Jiang Mingzhi's attention, "Who are you?" ”
Although the old man in front of him was dressed in tatters, he had an extraordinary demeanor, and Hongyue did not stop anyone.
"Miss, it's me, you don't know me anymore." The old man brushed his messy hair behind his head, which made Jiang Mingzhi see his appearance clearly.
"Uncle Cao?"
Jiang Mingzhi's voice was full of disbelief, the person in front of him was the housekeeper in the house, and he was kicked out of the capital with his father, but he didn't expect to see him again one day.
"Miss still knows the old slave, but the old slave is ashamed of the young lady." Steward Cao knelt down after saying that, refusing to get up no matter how Jiang Mingzhi helped him.
"The old slave failed to protect the master, miss, the old slave should be damned!" Steward Cao was about to grab the ground with his head, but Jiang Mingzhi was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning.
