C64 (1/2)
Pei Yuanhao from Dazhu Country, the number one person in the Great Tang Military Department. It could be said that nearly half of the current generals in the Great Tang Army were brought by him. Pei Yuanzhao was ten years older than the emperor. He had achieved outstanding military exploits throughout his life and was loyal and devoted to the Tang Dynasty. His two sons had both died in battle. Right now, he only had a granddaughter who was only sixteen years old. The Great Tang Empire's only daughter, a princess with a different surname!
In addition to the entourage assigned by the royal family, Pei Yuan Zhao also brought his own five hundred Golden Armored Iron Guards. There were only five hundred people in the kingdom, but other than the emperor, the world's best and largest private guards, the empress and the crown prince were not allowed to attend to any of them.
Pei Yuanhao looked at the distant Lu Jiapeng, who was being surrounded by the Regional Army. He was lost in thought. He had never participated in any open or covert fights between the Emperor's children. Even though Zhao Qi was mixed in with the military, he had never expressed his support.
This time, he didn't want to find out. There were too many things that couldn't be exposed. How could an old man like him care about such things? How could she be kind enough to sit in that position? For the sake of his beloved granddaughter, he would not go and cause trouble. However, this was no small matter. Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed him to take action himself. Even so, he still intended to do his job indifferently and never create any problems.
He did not enter Lu Jia Ping. Instead, he chose to borrow Tian Patrol's second temporary tent to inform all parties that they would meet together.
Pei Yuan Zhao was not sitting in the main seat, but was sitting opposite to Princess Lin Lang and Lu Fengqiao. As for Inspector Tian and the other officials of Liangzhou, they could only stand to one side.
”Everyone, this old man has come. Firstly, there will be no trial, secondly, there will be no questions asked, and thirdly, there will be talk about right and wrong! He was only bringing the relevant people back to the capital! As for Princess Lin Lang, since she is participating as well, she should head back as well! ”
Lin Lang said politely, ”Lin Lang will follow the arrangements of the Dazhu Kingdom!”
Lu Fengqiao asked, ”Da Zhu Country, who are you bringing back to the capital? Are there any names on the list? ”
Pei Yuanhao had a good impression of Lu Fengqiao and felt sympathy for the Lu family. Although he didn't want to talk too much, he still gave them a lot of face.
”I have a list with me!”
With that, he took out a list and read through it. Then he looked at the two of them and asked, ”Is there a problem?”
”Lu Xingsan can't find it!”
Lu Fengqiao sighed.
”Oh?”
Pei Yuanhao raised an eyebrow. He heard Lu Fengqiao continue: ”We couldn't find him yesterday, it was all due to Feng Qiao's carelessness! After that, the manor was searched from top to bottom. No one was seen and the army was notified, but they did not discover anything! ”
The Dazhu Kingdom did not say anything, but just frowned and nodded. After all, it was not the Lu Family's responsibility to see the witnesses and suspects in custody. At this moment, Inspector Tian, who was standing to the side, kneeled down.
Pei Yuan Zhao glanced at him and asked, ”Inspector Tian, what's wrong with you?”
Inspector Tian braced himself and said, ”Reporting to the Dazhu Kingdom, that Han Zhen has also disappeared …”
”Oh? When did you not see it? ” Pei Yuanzhao's tone was icy cold.
”It, it happened yesterday as well!”
”Did you find it?”
”I-I've found it!” But there's no clue at all! ”
”Hong!” The tea table beside Pei Yuanzhao was smashed to the ground by a single palm!
Lu Fengqiao was calm and unperturbed. Princess Linlang's brows twitched, but then instantly slowed down! Tian Patrol was kowtowing as if he was pounding garlic! All the officials kneeled down.
Shi Yan, who was standing outside the door, subconsciously opened the curtain to go inside and see what was going on. However, he was scolded by Dazhu at the sound of his voice. Pei Yuan Zhao was extremely unhappy: I don't want to cause trouble, but you guys are too arrogant! There were a total of two important witnesses. Who would believe it if they say that you didn't do anything? Do you really think this old man is a pig?
Lu Yuesheng had been managing the manor for many years, so perhaps it was understandable for him to have run away with an accomplice from the outside, not to mention that the other party did not have any responsibility to supervise them! Furthermore, Lu Yuesheng's disappearance would not benefit the Lu family! However, the Tian Patrol Army of a few thousand states had also lost Han Zhen. The situation was still unclear! Pei Yuan Zhao didn't want to care about what Inspector Tian had done in the past, but the current situation was like a slap to the face of the Great Pillar Country!
”A piece of trash!” Do you think that with someone backing you up, you'll forget about it? ”
Pei Yuan Zhao stood up and stared at Inspector Tian. ”Inspector Tian, do you know what kind of case this is? This was the Assassin King's Kill! It was the same as conspiring against someone! Lu Jiapin was surrounded by you, but now the two witnesses are gone! You say you don't know? Are you fooling me for being ignorant? ”
As for whether or not they were wrongly accused, Pei Yuan Zhao didn't even have the heart to consider it. Zhao Qi Xuan also didn't get a good look, but the atmosphere in the tent was quite awkward, and just as Tian Xun was about to be led out, an old and clear voice came from outside the door.
”Sir Pei, no need to be angry!”
He could already tell that this voice belonged to someone who had helped Lu Daiwen. Pei Yuan Zhao's anger towards these people did not give him any pressure, but towards Lu Daiwen, it was definitely different. Prime Minister Yuan Shang's body was weak and sickly. He was the one presiding over the civil service. The two of them had a literary and a military relationship. They did not count on each other, but they could be considered to be on good terms with each other.
Along with Lu Dai Wen walking in, Zhao Qi Xuan, who had an awkward expression a moment ago, was the first to stand up. She coldly said, ”Sir Assistant Minister, did that Prince Fake come along with us?”
Pei Yuanzhao did not understand, and did not speak. Instead, he greeted Lu Daiwen and made a seat for him, while simultaneously kicking Inspector Tian, who was kneeling on the floor, to the side. Inspector Tian didn't even dare to make a sound. He hurriedly got up and continued to hide his face and kneel.
Lu Daiwen looked at Zhao Qixuan. He wasn't the least bit angry, but she continued, ”It's fake. Naturally, it can't be real. But it can be a way to weigh the pros and cons!”
Zhao Qixuan seemed to have caught on to the main point.
”Balance? You admit that the Ping Wang is fake! ”
”That's right, it's a double!”
”Hahaha, the Lu family is really bold!” Do you know, because of your consideration, you might have missed the opportunity to find the Ping Wang! ”
”Hehe! Your Highness, I dare to admit to ordering people to disguise themselves as the King, so I naturally don't care about the crimes you've charged me with. Why are you so anxious to convict me?”
”Humph!” Since you admit to using someone else to impersonate the Ping Wang, I believe that you will have the Da Zhu Kingdom present and you will not deny it in the future! ”
”No, no!” Just now, Dazhu had read the list of names, and I've also heard some of it. This old man thought, I should sort out the sequence of events to see if there are any more, because the capital doesn't understand the situation and has missed out on some criminals! Otherwise, it'll be troublesome if I keep going back and forth! ”
Just as Zhao Qixuan was about to speak, Lu Dai Wen stopped her and said, ”Although Lu Xingsan and Han Zhen are missing, it doesn't matter because everyone should know about what happened!”
Then he nodded to Lu Fengqiao, who was standing behind him. Lu Fengqiao began his narration.
Zhao Qixuan had to admit that the entire story was exactly as Han Zhen had said, without any side effects!
But no one seemed to have been left out.
Lu Daiwen stared at Zhao Qixuan and slowly said, ”There is evidence, but what about evidence? ”As far as I know, there was a fire at the back of the mountain last night. If my guess is correct, then the scene should have been burnt!”
