Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 485 Coincidence? !
"What did you say?"

In the governor's mansion, Pei Yunzhao looked at the person who came to report the news with a look of disbelief on his face, thinking that he had heard wrong!
The yamen servant who reported the news repeated cautiously: "Consort Xue was assassinated in his residence, two assassins died, and Concubine Xue executed a guard and a maidservant."

"Where is Consort Xue? Is there a serious problem?"

Pei Yunzhao asked anxiously.The yamen servant said: "Returning to the envoy, there is no news. I don't know if Mr. Xue is in the way."

"Why is there no news?"

Pei Yunzhao scolded.The yamen servant muttered, "Because...because..."

Then I heard a female voice say: "Because I'm here! Naturally, your yamen servant can no longer listen to the news from the son-in-law!"

Hearing the sound, Pei Yunzhao turned around suddenly and saw a swollen abdomen. A beautiful woman who was obviously pregnant walked in slowly, followed by a team of elite soldiers. Her whole body was full of momentum and calmness, as if she hadn't trespassed on the governor's mansion , but strolling in the yard.

Pei Yunzhao smiled wryly, and bowed in salute: "My minister, Pei Yunzhao, pays homage to His Royal Highness Princess An Guo Pingyang. I haven't seen you for many years. Is Your Highness still okay?"

Princess Pingyang stepped up to the upper seat without hesitation, sat down and said calmly: "Whether this palace is good or not, does Governor Pei not know?"

Pei Yunzhao couldn't help smiling wryly again, cupped his hands and said, "Yunzhao didn't take good care of his son-in-law, I'm ashamed of His Highness."

Princess Pingyang stared at him for a moment, then waved her hands and said, "Forget it, you can't blame Yun Zhao for this matter. Some people have seen the character of Yun Zhao, you and my son-in-law, and you two have nothing to guard against. It's natural to follow the other party's way. It's okay, it's just that you lose a game first, and you can find it slowly, and the future will be long."

It is such an elegant and calm demeanor!There are thousands of women in the world, and Pei Yunzhao, a famous lady, has seen countless of them, but besides Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang, who else can have such awe?
Pei Yunzhao sighed secretly, once again he couldn't help feeling jealous towards that concubine Xue, but he could only say sternly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding."

Princess Pingyang nodded slightly, and asked, "Where's the Da Zhongzheng from the Zhou family? Did you come?"

Pei Yunzhao was stunned, no wonder Princess Pingyang rushed straight to the governor's mansion domineeringly, even if she was outraged by the assassination of her son-in-law, as a princess, she was by no means the one to vent her anger on others, so she came here for the righteousness of the Zhou family.

This week, since the Zhou family became a grand zhongzheng, they have acted a little rebelliously and unscrupulously. They didn't even pay attention to the dignified prince-in-law captain and the first-rank prince conferred by the saint...His Royal Highness Princess Pingyang came out for the son-in-law !The Zhou family thought that the son-in-law was exiled by a saint and despised him... Now that his wife is here, let's see how mad your Zhou family is!However, I feel more and more jealous of my son-in-law!

The feeling at this moment made Pei Yunzhao feel a little pricked, and he asked without giving up: "Your Highness is here for Dazhongzheng?"

"No!"

Pei Yunzhao felt comforted a little, and heard Princess Pingyang say: "I came here for the case of Sun Xiang's murder! My family's Youyang's method is to restore the case and reveal the truth, but the Zhou family has repeatedly disturbed and tried to suppress it with force. If you want to discuss power, my son-in-law was exiled by a sage, and it is not easy to act in a high-profile manner, now that I am here, I will treat you as the eldest princess, and discuss it with the Zhou family!"

Pei Yunzhao: "..."

Feeling even more distressed, okay?
Princess Pingyang didn't care about his complicated inner activities, she glanced at him lightly, and said: "According to the provisions of the three people's verification in the law, according to my palace, it doesn't matter even if the merchant and ranger can't be found, the existing people are enough to testify. My family The son-in-law was slightly injured and it is inconvenient to come out, so I will attend on behalf of the son-in-law as the relative of the defendant, please Inspector Pei invite the plaintiff and sufferer, let's go to the brothel together!"

This is the method of Her Highness the Princess. Compared with Xue Lang, the son-in-law, who is restricted by exile, and Pei Yunzhao, who is limited by factors such as official reputation, he acts with a lot of scruples. Refers to the vitals.

Pei Yunzhao said: "Your Highness, please wait a moment, I will send someone to pass on the news to the Zhou family."

Princess Pingyang nodded, and Pei Yunzhao immediately sent someone to pass on to the Zhou family.When the Zhou family came to respond to the vacancy of the promotion hall, Pei Yunzhao sat down at the second seat, and just about to ask someone to make tea soup, Princess Pingyang said: "I am inconvenient to drink tea soup, please trouble Yunzhao to bring me some boiled water."

Thinking of Her Highness Princess being going to be a mother, Pei Yunzhao suddenly said, "Here, please wait a moment, Your Highness, I will send someone to prepare."

"Good, please trouble Yun Zhao."

"Don't dare, it's Yun Zhao's honor to be able to serve His Highness, and I don't find it troublesome."

Princess Pingyang still insisted on thanking her, and then said: "Speaking of which, why did Yun Zhao suddenly apply for release? I was ordered to guard Weize Pass that day, and I was not in the capital, so I don't know the details. Gong didn't know that Yun Zhao had been released as the governor of Yuezhou."

Pei Yunzhao's heart was a little shy, and he said with a serious face: "Returning to Your Highness, everything is because my father persuaded the prince and was alienated by the prince. I feel that the turmoil in the court is turbulent, and I advise my father to protect himself. I also want to stay away from the disputes in the capital. , please let it out.”

Princess Pingyang was silent, and only after a while did she say: "What Yun Zhao did...doesn't he have confidence in Eldest Brother?"

The old god Pei Yunzhao said solemnly: "The minister is no different from His Highness."

Princess Pingyang smiled faintly, and said: "Yun Zhao's vision is just like that day, pointing directly at the essence."

Pei Yunzhao saluted meticulously: "I dare not be praised by His Highness."

Princess Pingyang said calmly: "After a long time, Yun Zhao's demeanor is still better than in the past. It is also very good to be the governor of Yuezhou. The party in charge, acting as the shepherd of heaven, has a heavy responsibility. I hope you will encourage me."

"Here."

Just as they were talking, the yamen servant came to report that Dazhong of the Zhou family was bringing his father and son on Wednesday to pay a visit to Princess Pingyang and Pei Yunzhao, and begged for reconciliation with Sun Xiang.

Princess Pingyang said without hesitation: "Who is the Zhou family? I don't see you! However, in order to solve Sun Xiang's murder case as soon as possible, Yun Zhao, please be promoted."

Pei Yunzhao secretly smiled, trying to maintain a serious face: "Here, I will call witnesses."

Afterwards, Pei Yunzhao called the existing witnesses, and at the place where the crime happened that day, a scene was restored, and the facts gradually became clear under the correspondence of mutual confessions——

According to the confession, at the position where Zhou Shiqilang was standing at that time, Sun Xiang couldn't touch him at all. Instead, the two rangers who had been missing were standing behind Zhou Shiqilang.

Sun Xiang did not kill anyone!He was wronged!At the same time, Wu Zuo also sent a report, saying that Zhou Shiqilang died not from traumatic beatings, but from poisoning.

Unexpectedly, what was originally a case of manslaughter suddenly changed its style of painting and became a suspense drama. Although there are still some unknowns, according to the existing facts, it is undoubtedly confirmed that Sun Xiang did not kill anyone!Pei Yunzhao made an order in court, and Sun Xiang was not guilty, and was released in court.

Princess Pingyang's heart moved, and someone told Pei Yunzhao: "The assassins of the son-in-law are two rangers. There are also two rangers that Governor Pei is looking for, and the ones who stood closest to Zhou Shiqilang are also two rangers. It's a ranger... don't they have something in common?"

After being reminded by this, Pei Yunzhao suddenly realized: "Where's the old bustard? Go and identify the corpse!"
