Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 881: The punishment is not as good as that of a doctor, and the courtesy is not as good as that of a common man

Hearing Yu Wenye ask this question, a ray of light flashed in Yan Shaoxuan's eyes.

He glanced at Yu Wenye and said with a half-smile: "Your Highness, King Qin, Minister Pei just entered the prison of the Ministry of Punishment this morning. Before the subordinates saw him, they took the order and entered the palace."

Yu Wenye said: "I know you haven't started interrogating him yet, but since they captured Minister Pei at Feishuang Palace, and a whole night passed, it's impossible not to ask a word."

"..."

"If you ask what happened, it's impossible for you, the Minister of Punishment, not to tell you a word."

"..."

When he said these words, Yu Wenye's tone was very calm, and there was even a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were as sharp as an unsheathed sword, as if a few more glances could scrape off the flesh on a person's body. Yan Shaoxuan looked at him in silence for a moment, and finally sighed softly and said, "No."

"They didn't ask, or they didn't ask."

"Didn't ask."

"Did you ask anything else?"

"It is said that Minister Pei has been silent since he was caught by the guards in Feishuang Palace. Your Majesty met him in person and didn't ask anything. So——"

"so,"

Yu Wenye's face finally turned cold: "The interrogation of Minister Pei will be left to you."

Yan Shaoxuan glanced at him and said, "It's handed over to the Ministry of Punishment."

Yu Wenye was silent for a moment and then raised his head, with a faint smile on his face, and said: "Master Yan, I wonder if you have heard of something."

"Your Highness, King Qin, please speak."

Yu Wenye looked at him and said word by word: "The punishment is not as good as that of a doctor, and the courtesy is not as good as that of a common man."

"..."

Yan Shaoxuan's face condensed slightly, and then he smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin has worried too much. Naturally, this kind of case cannot be surrendered. What His Majesty the Emperor wants is the truth."

Yu Wenye said: "This is best. But I'm also worried that some people don't want the truth to surface."

"..."

"Therefore, the safety of Minister Pei is of utmost importance."

"..."

This time Yan Shaoxuan also understood what he meant. Although I had known for a long time that there was definitely something complicated behind this case, I had just met the emperor and listened to his words and already felt stressed. Now that I had met the King of Qin and listened to his words, I was even more headache-ridden.

Seeing him looking a little embarrassed, Yu Wenye said: "Shilang Pei is loyal to the country, he is the pillar of the country, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future."

"..."

"So, please don't delay Mr. Shangshu...his future."

"..."

"The same goes for Lord Shangshu."

"..."

Hearing his last words, Yan Shaoxuan was slightly startled. When he looked at Yu Wenye again, his eyes became more solemn, but he didn't say anything. He just cupped his hands and turned to leave.

After watching his back disappear at the entrance of Qianqiu Palace, Shang Ruyi breathed a long sigh of relief and immediately turned to look at Yu Wenye: "He agreed?"

Yu Wenye said: "He is a smart man."

Shang Ruyi nodded.

At the critical moment of the change of dynasty, Yan Shaoxuan dared to release Shen Shiyan early despite the pressure of committing the crime of deceiving the emperor. This shows that this man not only has precise vision, but also has extraordinary courage. This time, I believe he also knows that he should choose to stand on the side of Which side.

After taking a breath, Shang Ruyi immediately gritted his teeth and said, "So, the prince's target has been Mr. Pei from the beginning."

Yu Wenye glanced at her: "Do you think he is the emperor's brother?" Shang Ruyi's tone was so firm that no one could question it: "There is no second possibility."

"why?"

"Master Yan just said that the figure was found on the palace wall, and this palace wall is an inner wall rather than an outer wall."

"so what?"

"His Majesty the Emperor visited Tangquan Palace in person. He must have conducted an inventory early, and the guards there were composed of two teams. One was from the palace originally, and the other was brought by General Ning Yuan. And these two The weapons the troops were equipped with were only knives and swords, but no bows and arrows.”

"..."

"Besides, bows are different from swords. They are not easy to bring into Tangquan Palace. It could only be prepared by someone in the palace."

"..."

"And the prince is responsible for this trip."

"..."

"Besides, you just made it clear that an assassin appeared in Tangquan Palace, not that my father was assassinated."

"..."

"So he doesn't want to assassinate my father, but he needs the 'assassin' thing to drag Mr. Pei into the water, and then through Mr. Pei, you will be implicated."

At this point, Shang Ruyi's eyes became even colder: "So, he really didn't miss any of the things he wanted to do, including seizing power and hurting people."

Seeing that she spoke logically, Yu Wenye nodded slightly.

In fact, since Yan Shaoxuan firmly told them that the assassin appeared in Tangquan Palace, and not the emperor was assassinated in Tangquan Palace, he had already understood. What is rare is that Shang Ruyi can also analyze from the position of the palace wall and the appearance of bows and arrows. Find out the origin of that person.

He had heard someone say before that "one pregnancy makes you stupid for three years", but when he thought about it carefully, it was just because a child who didn't understand anything and cried all day long would make a woman as a mother tired of dealing with it. Naturally, I no longer have the energy to think about other things, and I become "stupid".

But Shang Ruyi has Tu Sheer and Chang Wan by her side, as well as a wet nurse to take care of Xiao Yuanzi. Naturally, she will not be tired of coping, which will not damage her intelligence and alertness.

Therefore, whether the mother will be "stupid" just depends on whether the man who is the father has the ability to make her relax.

At this time, Shang Ruyi said again: "Since someone has prepared the bows and arrows in Tangquan Palace, then we should be able to tell Father——"

Yu Wenye shook his head: "No."

"why?"

"Because they have captured Pei Xingyuan."

"...!"

Shang Ruyi frowned again.

By the way, she almost forgot, as long as people inside Tangquan Palace can do this, they can doubt the prince, but Pei Xingyuan can do the same, and he has become a prisoner now, if they open his mouth easily Talking about the prince would make Yu Wenyuan think that they were deliberately setting up a trap.

If that were the case, things would be even more difficult to handle.

At this time, Shang Ruyi's brows were twisted into a knot. She bit her lower lip and said solemnly: "Then how should we save Mr. Pei?"

"..."

"Do you want to find out who Mr. Pei is meeting, so that you can -"

Before she finished speaking, Yu Wenye suddenly leaned forward to her ear and whispered a few words. Shang Ruyi's eyes suddenly widened and she turned to look at him with an expression of disbelief: "You It means that the person Mr. Pei met is——"

Yu Wenye nodded gently.

Shang Ruyi froze for a moment, and after a while, he gasped: "No wonder he hasn't spoken since he was arrested."

"..."

"Then, what should we do now?"
