There is a scenic garden at the back of the Zhongshan Marquis Mansion, and Pei Ning's residence was arranged by the east pool, named Ming Chan Pavilion, which means cicadas chirping in the breeze, echoing Pei Ning's residence in Dingguo Mansion.

Although Pei Ning is not as good as Shen Danmo in terms of poetry, he is obviously much better than Pei Yue, a half-full scribe. When he saw the plaque in front of the courtyard, he understood the profound meaning and couldn't help but have a quiet smile on his face.

Ye Qi and Lin Shuyue greeted each other in front of the Yimen. They both knew that Pei Yue actually had no parents and Pei Ning was his only relative, so they would not lose their sense of etiquette. Lin Shuyue even more

After being notified of my return home, I immediately came to Mingchan Pavilion to inspect it in person and made sure that everything was in perfect order before I felt relieved.

Taohua found some good words, and the two of them hid aside and whispered.

Coupled with the large group of well-dressed maids around, people can't help but marvel at the beauty of the world as they see birds and birds everywhere they look.

Pei Yue laughed and chatted with the girls for a while, and then said to Pei Ning: "Sister, let Ye Qi and Shu Yue chat with you. You don't have to wait for me to eat tonight. I will pick up the wind for you tomorrow."

Pei Ning said softly: "You can go and do your work. You don't have to worry about me. I just need Miss Ye and Miss Lin to accompany me."

Ye Qi frowned slightly and said: "The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, are you so anxious?"

Seeing her looking at his shoulder and knowing that she was worried about his injuries, Pei Yue was moved and smiled: "Things like the conspiracy case can't wait. Besides, I'm just arranging the matter as soon as possible, not investigating it myself.

No problem."

Although Ye Qi disapproved, he couldn't say anything in front of Pei Ning, so he had to keep silent.

Pei Yue said goodbye to the girls and then came to the main hall in the front yard.

There are already several people waiting slightly anxiously here, including Lin Jia, the chief of the Li Department of Taishitai Pavilion, Chang Qi, the left minister of the Criminal Department, Wei Rui, Fu Hongzhi and other Beiying generals.

After Pei Yue appeared, everyone immediately stood up and saluted. He nodded slightly and said, "Everyone, please take a seat."

After Pei Yue left the palace, Emperor Kaiping issued an explicit decree that Pei Yue would be fully responsible for the rebellion case of King Yan Liu Zan, with assistance from Taishitai Pavilion and the Ministry of Punishment. In addition, Pei Yue was allowed to mobilize up to 2,000 soldiers from the Northern Camp to Beijing.

Pei Yue said in a deep voice: "Wei Rui."

"The end will be here."

"I will give you two thousand soldiers to take everyone in Prince Yan's Mansion, Fengcheng Marquis' Mansion, and Chengyang Marquis' Mansion into custody, and set up a separate prison in the west of the city. No one is allowed to enter and visit. In addition, take over from Taishitai Pavilion.

As for the residences of Marquis Chengyi and seven ministers, whether these people were coerced by Liu Zan or actively colluded remains to be determined through interrogation. For the time being, we will keep an eye on their relatives. No entry or exit is allowed in these eight residences."

"Follow the order!"

Pei Yue looked at the others and said: "Master Lin, Chang Shilang, and Fu Hongzhi, the three of you will immediately start interrogating the suspects related to this case. All three of you must be present during each interrogation. Afterwards, you will write down the interrogation notes and hand them in directly."

In my hand."

The three people responded quickly.

Pei Yue looked at them one by one and said seriously: "What I want is a true answer. As for how to get this answer, I will not interfere with your specific methods. Remember, don't implicate the innocent with fraud."

Lin Jia's heart trembled, and he noticed Pei Yue's eyes falling on him, so he said respectfully: "Please rest assured, Lord Marquis, I know what to do."

Chang Qi followed suit, while Fu Hongzhi looked quite indifferent. He knew the deep meaning of Pei Yue's involvement in it, and naturally he could not give others the opportunity to act randomly.

As for the trial of cases, it is mainly done by professionals like Lin Jia and Chang Qi. All they need is a pair of eyes and two ears.

Pei Yue gave a few more instructions and asked them to do things immediately.

The main hall became quiet. Pei Yue raised his hand and gently rubbed the injury on his shoulder. There was a question in his mind that he couldn't figure out clearly.

King Yan was able to launch a coup this time mainly because of Emperor Kaiping's test, coupled with the support of Duan Wang Liu Xiang, Chengyang Hou Zhang Wu, Fengcheng Hou Li Bingzhong and others, as well as the chess pieces left by the Xian family in the capital. These were his biggest

As for Chengyi Hou Guo Kaishan and his like, they just made a mistake in judgment and either actively or passively boarded King Yan's pirate ship. They should not have their homes confiscated and their clans destroyed.

It's just that he still doesn't understand why Leng Ning informed him of this matter in advance?

What are the plans for the south?

…

Thousands of miles south of Kyoto, across the vast Tiancang River, the first thing that comes into view is the three cities of Jiangling that were captured by Gu Liang and held for ten years, followed by the Chengbei Camp where the Southern Zhou deployed heavy troops.

Continuing for more than six hundred miles to the south, a majestic and majestic city suddenly appeared in sight. The city's defenses were second only to Daliang Kyoto and Xiwu Anyang City. It was also a famous majestic city in the world, covering a vast area and with nearly a million residents.

This is Jian'an, the capital city of Southern Zhou Dynasty.

Jian'an City was built thousands of years ago and was once designated as the capital of six dynasties. As a commercial center in the south of the mainland, Jian'an City is more prosperous than Daliang Kyoto in terms of prosperity. The city is bustling and noisy, and the Southern Zhou Dynasty Palace located in the north of the city is even more prosperous.

It is luxurious and grand, with high construction specifications and stunningly complicated decorations.

In the palace, somewhere in the palace.

"Sister Rong'er, why are you so anxious to see me today?" A girl in palace clothes looked at her companion who was two years younger than her and asked with interest.

"Sister, do you really want to marry in the north?" Xu Churong asked with a sad face.

The girl in palace clothes dimmed her eyes when she heard this, and said with a forced smile: "We women always have to get married."

"But we are at war with the north." Xu Churong shook his head.

The girl in palace clothes is the second daughter of the current Southern Zhou emperor, who was named Princess Qinghe.

She held Xu Churong's hand and said, "It's because I don't want to fight that my father decided to let me go north."

Xu Churong looked at Princess Qinghe, whom she had grown up with since childhood. Although she was only fifteen years old this year, she had always been bold. In addition, her family background was very unmatched, so she thought of a way and said softly: "Sister, I have a way to make you

If you don’t want to go to the north, would you like to give it a try?”

Princess Qinghe was startled for a moment, then shook her head and said: "Sister Rong'er, in fact, to me, it makes no difference no matter who you marry. If the disputes and wars between the two countries can be settled just because of me, I don't care about my future husband."

Who is it?"

Xu Churong wrinkled the tip of his nose and said: "Sister, you have read a lot of history books. Don't you know that this kind of thing cannot be stopped by marriage? Beiliang has been coveting our land of Zhou for so many years, and they will never give up easily. Even if you marry me, sister

A certain prince in Beiliang can't change their mind. I just don't want you to go to the north and suffer, let alone see those unspeakable things."

Princess Qinghe looked at her gratefully, and then sighed softly: "But my father has sent an envoy to the north, and it is now waiting south of the Tiancang River. Maybe it has crossed the river by now."

Xu Churong thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Sister, don't worry, even if the court in the north agrees to this matter, they will still have to send people south to negotiate. If not, they will have to send people to pick up my sister, right? Then I will have a way to disturb Huang.

thing."

Princess Qinghe was moved and worried at the same time. She shook her head and said, "Sister Rong'er, you must not mess around, otherwise my father will not agree to it."

Xu Churong blinked and said softly: "Sister, I know what to do."

No matter what those people in the north think, she can't just watch the princess sister she grew up with marry in a foreign country!
