Settle Down In Tang Dynasty

"Brother Jingxi, I'm sorry. Xue has come again."

When Xue Lang saluted, Pei Yunzhao returned the salute and said frankly: "I would like to see his husband-in-law today. I have been waiting for him for a long time."

Xue Lang was stunned and immediately asked, "brother Jingxi has found out the clue?"

Pei Yunzhao said: "no, but I have just looked up the existing confession, and I feel a little confused. Now my husband-in-law has turned back. Obviously, this doubt is not wrong."

Xue Lang: "because I turned back, I just verified that your doubts were not wrong, so you didn't tell me your doubts clearly just now?"

"Exactly

Xue Lang did not know whether to praise him or make complaints about him. However, it can be seen from here that Pei Yunzhao is not the kind of person who deceives and flatters others and acts in a disorderly way. He acts in such a strict manner and has enough wisdom. I think that what he wants to communicate with him next can be done. Xue Lang was relieved.

Xue Lang asked, "I don't know if brother Jingxi has doubts Where is it? "

Pei Yunzhao smiles and says, "Youyang, please speak first."

Xue Langji, however, still said: "I just went to the prison to visit my song Sun Xiang. According to what he said, he did not touch the finger of the dead Zhou shiqilang. The one who fought with him was Zhou shiqilang's entourage."

"Is that true?"

Pei Yunzhao looked at Xue Lang with burning eyes, and Xue Lang nodded: "believable! I can vouch for him

Pei Yunzhao's eyes were wide open, and the color of surprise in his eyes was obvious. He immediately seemed to have something open. He laughed at himself and said, "OK! In that case, I will have a detailed investigation! "

Xue Lang arched his hand and said, "I'd like to ask brother Jingxi for help."

Pei Yunzhao was always cautious and said: "if you don't violate the principles of the law, Youyang can do your best. If you do, don't open your mouth."

Xue Lang laughed, and he didn't want to make complaints about it. He said, "rest assured, do not violate it! I just want to ask brother Jingxi to help me and keep the people who were there that day. It doesn't need to be long. It's just three or four days! "

Pei Yunzhao curiously said: "this is not difficult, but what is the purpose of Youyang's move?"

Xue Lang said: "I just want to find out what happened! If sun Xiangzhen kills people, it's natural and natural for him to kill. But if Sun Xiang doesn't kill people, I don't want to bear the responsibility for nothing! "

Pei Yunzhao thought a little and said, "yes! It's not difficult. I'll send someone to deliver the message! "

"Thank you very much. "

Pei Yunzhao waved his hand and didn't care. Xue Lang said again: "there is another thing. I heard that the people who went to arrest yesterday knew the dead well. Is there such a thing?"

Pei Yunzhao said: "Youyang can rest assured about this. Constable Zhou, who is arresting the man, is of the same clan as the dead. I have asked him to avoid."

"Brother Jingxi is really selfless."

Xue Lang's requests are not things that require Pei Yunzhao to bend the law for selfish ends. Pei Yunzhao is only strict and does not know how to adapt. These irrelevant details do not want to embarrass Xue Lang, so naturally they all agree.

After coming out of the governor's office, Xue Lang went back to Sishui village. After that, only servants and three or four guards were left around. The rest of them were sent out to investigate the cause of Zhou's seventeen Lang's death.

Xue Lang and Pei Yunzhao are both busy. Pei Yunzhao, there was a businessman from other places who was present on that day. He had already left Yuezhou for other places, and two Rangers also left.

After Xue Lang knew about it, he sent four guards and asked Pei Yunzhao to send yamen servants to pursue him. He must find these people back so as to find out the case and return Sun Xiang a clean slate.

outside the prison.

Luo Ping and song Dalang were ordered to guard. They were squatting on the road opposite the prison. At this time, they were eating steamed stuffed buns.

Luo Ping once in a while looked up at the opposite side. "Eh," he stretched out his hand and pulled song Dalang's sleeve: "look at the other side, Dalang!"

Song Dalang took a look at it. A carriage was stopping at the gate of the prison. A man in his twenties came down from the carriage, followed by four healthy servants who were big and three, and was about to go to the prison.

Song Dalang finished the steamed stuffed bun in his hand in three mouthfuls and said, "I'll go and inquire. You can stare at some."

"Here it is."

Song Dalang clapped his hands in the past. After waiting for someone to enter the prison, he stood at the door waiting for the jailer to come out. After a while, the jailer came out. Song Dalang came forward and asked, "brother, what just went in was..."

Then he put a handful of copper in his hand, and the jailer said in a low voice, "it's from the Zhou family."

Song Dalang secretly exclaimed in his heart. He took out a handful of copper and gave it to the jailer. He begged in a low voice: "it's not convenient for me to go in. Please take care of me. Don't let my brother suffer."

The jailer nodded. Without hesitation, he put the copper in his sleeve cage and turned in. He saw Sun Xiang being trampled by the servants of the Zhou family. Sun Xiang's face was angry, but he tried to bear it down and glared at the visitor without saying a word.

As soon as the jailer's face changed, he quickly stepped forward to stop him: "uncle, good master, don't move your hand! The prisoner has some background. He can't fight! If there is an accident I can't bear the blame of the governor. Please be merciful. "Zhou said angrily, "what? When my brother was killed by this man, the assassin would not judge him, but would he protect him? "

The jailer said with a smile: "I'm just a jailer. How can I know the plan of the governor?"! Please don't embarrass me. Don't make a small job. "

Zhou Dayi looked at Sun Xiang coldly and said, "it's really great to have a good master! You wait, kill for your life, I will not let you go! "

Sun Xiang only looked at him coldly: "I didn't kill people!"

Zhou was so angry that he still had to start. The jailer stopped him and said nothing. Uncle Zhou couldn't vent his anger. He snorted bitterly and left with him.

When he got home, he was called by his father before his buttocks were seated? Did you beat the villain and let out his anger? "

Zhou Da resented: "my father also knows the identity of the man's master son. Although he was exiled, he did not cut off the title and his grade was still there. There was Princess Pingyang behind him. How dare Pei Yunzhao offend him! How irritating

The old father of Zhou family couldn't help crying and said with tears in his eyes: "what a snobbish Pei Yunzhao! It's just a matter of dragging the case and not sentencing it. Even if you beat a prisoner out of anger, my seventeen Lang, you've been so unjust! "

His younger brother died from childhood pain. Zhou Da was also full of grief and shed a lot of tears with him. However, seeing his father like this, he had to bear his grief and comfort him: "father, I'm sorry! Who let the other side is the son-in-law, and we are just white body. "

The old father of the Zhou family snorted and said, "a few days ago, a senior man gave advice to his father. The man once said that Xue Lang's wife, Princess Pingyang, was in the capital and had great authority. Therefore, although Xue Lang was exiled, Pei Yunzhao was afraid of Princess Pingyang's power, and he would certainly be partial and let me make calculations early. Now it looks like it's true that it's said by the experts! "

Hearing this, Zhou Da asked, "father, does that expert have any suggestions to deal with it?"

The old father of the Zhou family said, "an expert once said that Pei Yunzhao was a strict man. In the past, he was very fond of feathers, and his official voice was good. Surely he would not do anything that would hinder the official's reputation for an exiled son-in-law. Therefore, we just need this and this..."

Even Zhou nodded.

The next day, the whole family of Zhou, old and young, dressed in plain clothes and dressed in mourning and filial piety, gathered in front of the governor's office, crying and howling, imploring Pei Yunzhao to uphold justice, redress the grievances of the Zhou family, and return the justice of seventeen Lang, so that he could rest in peace and comfort the spirit of seventeen Lang in heaven.
