Chapter 133 Annual Examination(1/3)

 "People around Jingshi Pei said that he would be in the Dali Temple all night."

Late at night, a team of right guards arrived at Dali Temple. After hearing what the gatekeeper said, he rushed into the yamen.

There were several prison guards following behind him and said with apologies: "I guess Censor Pei is personally interrogating the criminal."

"Not comply with the rules of association. Lead the way, where are the criminals?!"

“…”

The light of torches and the sound of footsteps disturbed the tranquility in the public room.

Pei Mian stood by the window, listening with his ears on his face, and someone was shouting from afar.

He guessed that Zheng Qian was not transferred to prison, no wonder he was taken into custody as soon as he entered Dali Temple. Yang Hui used his name to rob people, which showed that he ignored his life and death.

Those two slaps were in vain.

Pei Mian rolled his eyes and said, "The person from Nanya, if you see you here, you will inevitably involve the prince-consort. You hide and I will deal with it."

The two men pretending to be slaves were Yang Hui's confidants. He looked at each other and was still alert when he heard this.

"You go with us."

Pei Mian was surprised that they had responded. Yang Hui's noble and arrogant person was definitely not so careful, and Xue Bai must be behind him.

We worked together once, and that time, the seemingly harmless young man killed more than 30 people overnight.

This time, Xue Bai must have killed him. The reason why he didn't take action for the time being was that he was still forging the illusion of killing people in the East Palace.

Fortunately, it is Dali Temple here, and he is far more familiar with the terrain than these two slaves.

"Okay." Pei Mian immediately led the way honestly, "Follow me."

The three of them walked quickly through the yamen, and the shouts of killing were getting closer and closer.

The two slaves gradually became uneasy and wanted to strangle Pei Mian to death, but at this time, they were in an unfamiliar place, and they were also worried that they would be caught without Pei Mian's guidance.

"It's almost there, I can go out here." Pei Mian kept comforting them, suddenly opened a courtyard gate, and the torches flashed in front of him, and they just ran into the soldiers.

"Censor Pei, where are the criminals?"

The next moment, Pei Mian quickly rushed into the path in the darkness.

"What to run?!"

The two slaves were panicked, knowing that they would not be caught, otherwise they would implicate the prince-consort, so they ran out quickly and finally ran out of Dali Temple.

The imperial city was dark, and they did not dare to walk around to avoid leaving a record of violations. They simply hid until the movement gradually subsided, and Yang Hui sent someone to find them again.

"Where is Pei Mian? The prince-in-law ordered that he should be removed after the arrangement is made."

~~

Li Jingzhong was pushed to death in his sleep, and when he heard the adopted son say something, he was shocked and sweated in a cold sweat.

"What?! How dare he find it?!"

"Say something fatal."

Without caring about the people next to him, Li Jingzhong hurriedly put on his clothes and drove him out.

After passing through the spotless corridor, I actually saw Pei Mian kneeling in the gravel field.

"Do you want to kill Your Highness?" Li Jingzhong gritted his teeth, picked up Pei Mian's collar, and wished he could bite him to death.

"What happened! I'm not willing to die, but I have to tell Your Highness the news."

Pei Mian spoke very quickly, worried that if he spoke slowly, he would be removed by Li Jingzhong.

He knew that he was going to become an abandoned son, and only by being extremely calm could he have a chance to save his life.

"No matter what, you can't come over at night." Li Jingzhong was anxious, "How many traces have left?!"

"Xue Bai and Yang Hui have joined forces." Pei Mian did not say that his identity was exposed, but only said: "They will be detrimental to Your Highness."

Even so, Li Jingzhong still has a murderous intention.

He knew that Pei Mian was coming here to protect himself, otherwise he should have cleared his relationship first... Unfortunately, the dead soldiers were found out by asking for a cockfight and sent out of Chang'an.

As things came to this point, he instantly burst into sweat.

"What happened?"

Finally, Li Heng came in dress and said gracefully: "Since Zhang Fu comes, something big must have happened, so come to the hall to talk."

Pei Mian immediately knelt down on the ground, knelt down for a few steps, and said, "My identity has been revealed. If you ask for a cockfight, you will kill me. I beg Your Highness to send me to Shuofang, change my name and surname, and continue to serve Your Highness."

Li Jingzhong looked at Pei Mian's desperate attitude of seeking life coldly, and was angry and had no other choice.

"Pei Qing's words are serious." Li Heng stepped forward and helped Pei Mian up with his own hands, encouraging him: "I will never abandon Pei Qing."

"Please help your highness."

Li Jingzhong was so anxious that Pei Mian came here and left a lot of evidence of guilt. He didn't report the important matter first, but just wanted to threaten His Highness to protect him. It was better to strangle him to death.

"What happened?"

"Xue Bai revealed my identity." Pei Mian was still threatening, with panic on his face, but his words seemed to have a deep meaning, "I am afraid that many things I have done for Your Highness will be found."

He was prepared for a long time, and if he died, the Eastern Palace would not be able to live.

Li Heng's eyes flashed, and he patted him intimately, saying, "Okay, you can go to Shuofang with my token to save your life and live in order to achieve the future."

"Thank you Your Highness!" Pei Mian hurriedly said, "I will leave Chang'an in the name of Wang Hui's subordinates, don't worry about your Highness."

Li Henglang smiled, and the gloom in his eyes was relieved a little.

Pei Mian then talked about what happened today.

"As far as I see, they must blame the Eastern Palace. Your Highness only needs to point out the collusion between Yang Hui and Xue Bai to get out..."

~~

It was getting dawn, and Yang Hui received news and looked at Xue Bai.

"There is good news, bad news, which one do you want to hear?"

Xue Bai looked at Yang Hui's expression for a while and asked, "Let Pei Mian escape? Did he go to the East Palace?"

"ha."

Yang Hui nodded, a little embarrassed.

"After all, I am the prince consort, and it is inconvenient to do things during the curfew. But this time, the blame for the East Palace has been confirmed."

Xue Bai glanced at Yang Hui, and was silent.

He pondered and said, "The prince-in-law goes to the right prime minister's mansion to stare. Once he gets Pei Mian, be sure to kill him before he speaks. You must not let Brother Nu know what we do in this matter. In this way, Brother Nu will bite Li Heng and refuse to let go."

Yang Hui said annoyedly: "But Li Heng already knows it."

"So what?" Xue Bai said: "He is the most suspicious person. Is it useful to bite others?"

From afar, the sound of morning drums came.

Xue Bai listened and explained: "Send Zheng Qian back to his home, don't make any mistakes this time."

"Send home?"

"Yes, Zheng Qian doesn't know who robbed him. To be honest, who would have thought that we were hiding him?"

Yang Hui was not easily ordered, and asked, "Are we busy taking the risk to bring people out and returning them back?"

"The prince-consort has handed over the evidence. Such a big event will take over in the Beiya."

Xue Bai explained patiently, hurriedly left the house and merged into the bustling crowd in the early morning.

~~

In the early morning, there was a lot of noise in the Imperial College.

Du Wulang left the mailhouse, rubbed his eyes and walked out of the courtyard, and saw an official in front of him leading people to search each mailhouse.

"What's wrong? Someone's fraud has been investigated?"

Yang Xuan was leading a group of students to watch the fun. He patted Du Wulang on the back of his head and said, "Stupid. They can't find out that I'm cheating, they are here to catch Dr. Zheng."

"Didn't Dr. Zheng have been captured?"

"I've escaped from prison, catch it again."

Du Wulang was stunned for a moment and patted his face to be more awake.

He had more prison experience than these students and knew that escaping was difficult, but he did not expect that the gentle and gentle Dr. Zheng could escape.

At this time, a green-robed official came over, looked around, and waved directly to Su Yuanming.

"Su Siye, which house does Xue Bai live in?"

"Dare you ask who is the chief official? Why do you ask Xue Bai alone?"

"Dali Temple Secretary Du Hongjian supervises this case. I heard that Xue Bai and Zheng Qian have a good relationship, where does he live?"

Su Yuanming said: "I also have a good relationship with Zheng Taixue. Will Du Sizhi search my number house first?"
