The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 159
Ding Yi looked at his father and hesitated for a moment: "Not yet."

Yan Sanhe stood up and said, "Don't say anything, come with me for a walk outside."

Li Buyan: "Okay!"

When Yan Sanhe passed by Pei Xiao, he stood for a moment and spoke coldly.

"Pei Mingting, shame is useful in a boudoir, but useless in prison;
Useful in good times, useless in bad times;
It works on a rich lady, but not on a prisoner. "

Pei Xiao looked up at Yan Sanhe, the blood in his eyes rising little by little.When the door closed, the blood finally turned into tears and rolled down.

Xie Zhifei put his hand on Pei Xiao's shoulder and patted it a few times.

Pei Xiao turned away and sniffed, his voice choked with sobs.

"I was only worried about whether they would be bullied in there, but I didn't expect her... Why can't we just wait and endure it?"

Xie Zhifei looked at him and was speechless for a moment.

They ate and slept in the open all the way, traveling day and night, and several horses were killed, just to get Ji's family out early.

The result was good, they didn't give up, but she did!

Li Buyan and Yan Sanhe said not a single word was wrong, and the hardships they had endured for more than two months were in vain.

"Hold your tears. It's not time to cry now, but those two goddesses will see you and laugh at you again."

Xie Zhifei patted Pei Xiao on the shoulder a few more times, then turned to look at Ding Yi.

Ding plopped down on his knees and said: "Master, I lied. I am worried about my health. I am waiting for you here."

"I expected it. Get up and answer."

Xie Zhifei: "What punishment was given to Uncle Ji? Can people bear it?"

As soon as Ding got up, he said, "He received fifty blows. Doctor Pei spent some money to go in and see him once. His injuries were not serious."

Xie Zhifei was stunned for a moment, then realized, "Lu Yushi and Bei Si still showed mercy for the sake of the emperor's grandson!"

Although Lu Shi doesn't like to use torture when trying cases, he will never be lenient when it comes to using it. To him, fifty strokes is not called torture at all.

On the other side of the Bei Division, if Cai Si refused to open his eyes or close his eyes, not even a fly would be able to get in, let alone Imperial Physician Pei.

"Did he... let go?"

"Mr. Ji never let go and took everything on his shoulders."

Xie Zhifei glanced at Pei Xiao.

What Ji Lingchuan did was both wise and unwise.

The wise thing is: until the matter ends with him, no more people will be involved. Considering Taisun's character, as long as he survives, he will never treat the Ji family badly in the future.

What is unwise is: in this way, the crime will be all on his head. If the case of embezzling so much money is really finalized, the end will be tragic.

Xie Zhifei asked again: "How is the situation in Beijing?"

Ding subconsciously lowered his voice, "It is said that the prince was scolded by the emperor and knelt for half an hour. The next day, he suffered from leg problems."

Xie Zhifei's pupils contracted sharply.

The prince's legs were lame, and he would suffer from leg problems on cloudy days and rainy days. For this reason, the emperor spared him from kneeling when he went to court, and occasionally offered him a seat.

Being forced to kneel for half an hour was already a severe punishment for the prince.

Ding Yi: "After the prince knelt in the palace for half an hour, he returned to the East Palace and grounded the princess."

"This is not surprising. The prince has always had a scornful personality. This foot is not allowed to be seen by the Zhang family, nor is it allowed to be seen by the emperor."

Xie Zhifei said, "By the way, is there any movement on the King of Han's end?"

"Hui Ye, after the case was handed over to Mr. Lu and Jin Yiwei, there was no movement from the King of Han Dynasty, and there was no private action from the Ministry of Punishment. Everything was done openly."

"It shows that there is an expert behind this matter." Pei Xiao, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke, with the tears stains on his face wiped clean.

Xie Zhifei nodded with deep understanding.

Huairen once said that the King of Han had practiced martial arts since he was a child and was not a man of calm temper.

However, this time he did not take any further action. It seemed that everything was left to Lu Yushi to enforce the law impartially, but in fact...

Not a good thing!
"There is one more thing. I don't know if I should talk about it at this time."

Xie Zhifei knew what Ding Yi wanted to say but didn't dare to say.

"Ming Ting is not an outsider, just tell me, what did you find?" Ding Yi: "Hui Ye, our people visited the entire Shuidong County of Anhui Prefecture, but they did not find out the true identity of Miss Yan."

Xie Zhifei was surprised again, "Can't you even ask about it?"

Ding Yi shook his head: "Ding can't even ask about it."

Xie Zhifei: "Where are his old friends? Have you visited?"

Ding Yi: "Master Hui, no matter whether it is old friends or living members of the Yan tribe that I can find, I have visited them one by one, but I can't find anything about them."

Xie Zhifei turned his face to look at Pei Xiao: "Then where did Yan Sanhe come from? Did he pop out of the cracks in the rocks?"

Pei Xiao: "I don't have the time to worry about this right now. Let's settle the Ji family's affairs first. Ding Yi, go and call Miss Yan. The matter of the old lady's inner demon..."

"Mingting."

Xie Zhifei stopped him: "What kind of person is Yan Sanhe? Can't you understand this whole journey? She is more anxious than us. Don't put pressure on her."

Pei Xiao was slumped.

Xie Zhifei: "Let's go back to our room and rest. We still have three days to go, so we can rush back in one go."

Pei Xiao stood up while holding on to the table, pointing to his heart, "When I think of Jiumei, it hurts here, it hurts so much."

Xie Zhifei rubbed his head and coaxed in a gentle voice, "Ancestor, I know, I know everything."

My pain here has been countless times more painful than yours.

……

It's May, and although the weather is not as hot as Nanning Prefecture, there is already a bit of heat in the air.

Yan Sanhe raised his head and glanced at the dark night.

"There is a tree with a crooked neck in Xie Daozhi's study. It has had several owners, but it still remains standing. Man, in the end it is worse than a tree."

Li Buyan knew that Yan Sanhe didn't say anything, but he felt sorry for Miss Ninth.

She deliberately didn't answer the question, but started another conversation, "Did you think of anything on the way back?"

Everyone thought that Yan Sanhe was just catching up on sleep. Only Li Buyan knew that she must have spliced ​​all the news about Mrs. Ji back and forth countless times in her mind.

"A little."

Yan Sanhe's thoughts were indeed brought back, "But I'm not sure yet, I still want to meet someone."

"Who?"

"Jilingchuan."

"Why him?"

Li Buyan's face changed in shock, "Didn't he already ask about it?"

Yan Sanhe looked grim, "I guess he still has something to hide from us."

Hiding it?

Why hide it?

Li Buyan's heart was pounding with fright.

……

The master and servant walked for a quarter of an hour before returning to the inn.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Xie Zhifei sitting alone in front of the round table, holding a teacup in his hand.

"Yan Sanhe, come and sit."

Li Buyan had a look and turned around to leave without saying a word.

Yan Sanhe walked over.

The two sat facing each other, and Xie Zhifei picked up the teapot and poured tea for her.

Yan Sanhe lowered his head and frowned slightly when he saw it was Baishui.

"Don't frown. You'll probably fall asleep after drinking tea now."

Xie Zhifei put down the teapot, moved his lips a few times, but stopped talking.
