Chapter 249 I still hope that my father-in-law will bring a sentence

For a moment, Changsun Wuji was full of thoughts, and the names of people flashed through his mind one after another.

"Could it be Chai Shao!? Or that old man Xu Maogong!? These two have a close relationship with the Holy Majesty, and they are also heroes of the founding of the country, but they will not send killers to kill me!"

"Could it be an old minister from the former court, or the henchman of the Supreme Emperor, Li Jiancheng's old department, who wants to kill me directly, and then they can compete for the position of prime minister!"

After thinking for a long time, Changsun Wuji couldn't guess who it was at all. After all, the Tang Dynasty had just been established, and he had not been an official in the court for a long time, so it was impossible for him to have political opponents.

The only one who had a problem was Bai Jingyi, but Changsun Wuji knew in his heart that if Bai Jingyi wanted to kill him, there was no need to be so secretive, and he would probably bring the army directly to the Zhao residence.

At this time, the Shadow Guard reported his respect through the system and said, "Report to Major General! The note has been delivered!"

Changsun Wuji hid under the table and didn't dare to move, let alone make a sound, for fear that the killer outside would rush in after hearing the sound.

He looked up suddenly and found that there was a note on the arrow.

He casually picked up the arrow with a stick from the window. Judging from the craftsmanship of the arrow, it was an arrow made in Tang Dynasty, and nothing could be found.

The special font on the note reads: "A jug of poisoned wine! Save Pei Ji quickly!"

After seeing this word, Changsun Wuji stood up quickly. It turned out to be a messenger, so the person who sent the letter must be Pei Ji's relatives or former subordinates of Pei Ji.

Changsun Wuji was about to open the door to go out, but he backed away, first looking through the gap in the window to see if it was safe outside.

Then he sat on the chair and thought: "If Pei Ji dies in the sky prison, it will be in line with the wishes of the Holy One!"

"However, if Pei Ji really died in the dungeon, it would be his fault, and the ministers would also suspect that the emperor sent someone to do it!"

"In this way, not only will the reputation of the Holy Majesty be ruined, but at the same time, the ministers will definitely not intend to let the Holy Majesty's cronies take the position of prime minister!"

"At that time, if the Supreme Emperor once again supports a prime minister, or someone from a wealthy family takes up the prime minister position, then the Holy Majesty is in danger, and the chance of becoming prime minister is even more remote!"

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji couldn't sit still any longer, and quickly pushed the door out. After all, his steps were extremely fast, and he shouted as he walked, "Come on! Thoroughly investigate Zhao's mansion, and no strangers will be let go!"

The old housekeeper didn't know what happened, so he quickly led Zhao's servants to search Zhao's house.

Changsun Wuji quickly came to the stable, got on his horse, turned back and said to the butler, "Send this letter to the Holy Majesty immediately!"

After all, Changsun Wuji galloped straight to the prison, sitting on the galloping horse, Changsun Wuji's face was very serious, for fear that he would only see Pei Ji's body later.

At the same time, in the sky prison, the old eunuch who was in charge of delivering poisoned wine for the Supreme Emperor had already passed through layers of sky prison guards and arrived at Pei Ji's cell.

Seeing that this person was the old eunuch next to Li Yuan, Pei Ji quickly stood up and said excitedly, "Your Majesty asked the father-in-law to take the minister back!?"

However, the old eunuch sneered and said: "Oh! Pass on the words of the Holy Master, Mr. Pei has worked hard and made great contributions to the Holy Master!"

"I am in trouble today, but there is no way to save me! I can only reward Pei Aiqing with a pot of imperial wine, and from then on, the relationship between monarch and minister will be broken!"

Hearing this, Pei Ji's face instantly became pale as paper, especially when he saw the jug in the old eunuch's hand, his face turned ashen.

Because he is the most familiar with this dark green jug with gold trim, because it was the jug he sent someone to send to the Supreme Emperor when he got rid of those rebellious officials and thieves.

Moreover, since the change of Xuanwumen, the jug has been delivered more frequently, so that Li Er can be directly blamed, making the officials dissatisfied with Li Er.

All the ministers in the court were panicked and refused to serve Datang sincerely, so as to win more opportunities for the Supreme Emperor
This diary was suggested by him, but he didn't expect it to be used on himself in the end.

When thinking of this, Pei Ji burst into tears, sighed deeply but couldn't speak.

The old eunuch said in a shrill voice, "Master Pei, please! Don't disappoint the emperor!"

Pei Ji cupped his hands tremblingly and said: "The old minister accepts the order!"

When holding the jug in his hand, Pei Ji suddenly let out a wry smile, thinking: "Since ancient times, the ruthless emperor's family, the royal family has been able to mutilate their siblings for their own status."

"As a courtier who has lost power and knows a lot of the emperor's secrets, how could I walk out of Chang'an City alive!? I'm afraid that even if I walk out of Chang'an City alive, it will be rare for me to die well."

I have tried all kinds of tricks all my life, thinking that I will be saved even if I go to prison, but I didn't expect to end up like this in the end.
Immediately, Pei Ji shook the jug in his hand twice and said, "Give me a proposal! After I die, I should send my family members out of Chang'an City as soon as possible, so as not to

"Master Pei doesn't need to say much, as long as the Zajia sees Master Pei drinking the imperial wine with his own eyes, the Zajia can go back to work for the Holy One!"

While talking, the old eunuch even intentionally or unintentionally flashed the dagger at his waist.

Although his hands were hidden in the wide sleeves, Pei Ji knew in his heart that this old eunuch must not have only this one behind him.

I am afraid that I will die today. When I thought of this, Pei Ji laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha! Hahaha! Even before dying, I will do my last meager strength for the Holy One!"

The old eunuch was thinking anxiously: "Drink quickly, drink quickly!"

However, at this moment, there was a sudden noisy sound outside the cell. When Pei Ji heard this sound, hope suddenly rose in his heart, and he quickly put down the flagon in his hand.

Outside the cell, there were even a group of young eunuchs with shrill voices shouting continuously: "Master Changsun, you can't go in!"

"Hey~~ Master Changsun, you must not go in!"

"My lord grandson, if you go in, the servants will lose their heads~~!"

Changsun Wuji yelled angrily: "Get out of here!"

"Get these people out of here immediately!"

Changsun Wuji yelled loudly, these jailers could only do what they were told, and quickly hugged a young eunuch each, and threw them out.

The old eunuch didn't panic at all, and asked Pei Ji in a strange manner: "Could it be that Mr. Pei wants to disobey the will of the Holy One!?"

While speaking, the old eunuch moved forward, and slowly took out the hand hidden in the sleeve robe.

Pei Ji stood on the spot and said calmly: "The old minister has one more word, I hope my father-in-law can convey it to the Supreme Emperor for the old minister!"
