    That evening, the figures of the passers-by in the setting sun were like a gust of wind, passing by silently without leaving any trace. Until three days later, Yang Yun came to Zhen's house and asked to see Jiafu. After meeting him, he offered her with both hands.  A letter, respectfully said: "Madam, this is the letter that your Excellency ordered me to deliver."

    Jiafu looked at Yang Yun steadily. The unspeakable uneasiness that had been lingering in her heart for these days suddenly surged towards her overwhelmingly and swallowed her up.

    She stared at the letter in her palm for a long time and asked, "Sir, something happened to him, right?"

    Yang Yun slowly knelt down, lowered his head, and raised the letter high above his head.

    What was supposed to come, came after all, like fate, she couldn't retreat, even though she absolutely didn't want to read this letter.

    Jia Fu closed her eyes, calmed her mind, finally opened her eyes, stretched out her hand, and took out the letter.

    ¡­¡­

    Half a month after Jiafu received the letter, on this day, Pei You'an, Li Zhong and his party finally arrived in the capital and stopped outside the south gate.

    It was already late at night, and the city gate had long been closed. After opening it, a figure stood in the dark night in the tower opposite.

    Li Yuangui looked at Pei Youan outside the city gate with a serious expression.

    Pei Youan got off his horse, stepped on the bluestone ground under his feet, passed the city gate several feet deep, walked towards Li Yuangui, and stopped in front of him.

    "Eunuch Li, I'm sorry to bother you."

    He took off his hat and said.

    "Come with our family, Mr. Pei."

    Li Yuangui's voice was cold. After speaking, he turned around and got on a sedan chair parked aside. The young eunuch lifted it up, and the group of figures quickly disappeared into the night that shrouded the imperial city.

    The palace door is heavy and opens slowly.  Pei You'an walked in, passed through the heavily-walled palace engulfed in the dark night, and was finally brought to the emperor's study, stopping outside the threshold.

    Li Yuangui did not make a sound. When he arrived, he led the palace attendants outside and left. The surrounding area fell into a dead silence. The night wind blew in from an unknown corner and fluttered a palace curtain in the distance.

    Pei You'an brushed up the corner of his clothes, knelt down straight outside the threshold, kowtowed in the direction of the door, and touched his forehead to the ground: "Pei You'an, the guilty minister, kowtow to the emperor."

    The door was closed, and the lights inside were as dark as night. There was no echo for a long time, and Pei Youan kept kneeling like this, motionless.

    After a long time, a voice finally came from the door, as if it was straight from the depths of the stomach and throat: "Come in."

    Pei Youan stood up and pushed the door open.

    Behind the long case at the end of the square room, a person sat, illuminated by candlelight, his figure like a bell.

    Pei Youan walked to the case and knelt down again, but he still couldn't kowtow.

    Xiao Lie¡¯s eyes fell on the top of his head and his tone was deep:

    "Forgetting one's relatives is not filial, and abandoning one's ruler is not loyal. You claim to be a guilty minister, but do you know what your crime is?"

    "I brought you back to Wuding back then. Over the years, I have treated you well. I treat you as my nephew and have high hopes for you. However, you betrayed my personal relationship. Not only that, you have done such a thing now. Where did you come from?  How dare you come to see me today with so much confidence?"

    "Why don't you just ignore me and go with those people?"

    He asked three questions in a row, and the last one seemed to be a little mocking.

    "It is the integrity of a minister not to refuse to accept difficult matters and not to escape punishment for crimes." Pei You'an replied.  The tone was as usual, without any fluctuation.

    The atmosphere slowly froze.

    The corner of Xiao Lie's mouth moved, as if he was sneering lightly, but soon it turned into a sneer that could no longer contain his anger.

    He stared at Pei You'an who was kneeling in front of him, and sneered. The muscles in the corners of his eyes beat uncontrollably. He suddenly stood up, swept the things in front of the case on the ground with a flick of his sleeves, and amid the faint splashing, the clear ink of Haiyan River and the rectangular shape of Yunlong appeared.  Inkstones, cinnabar seals, and a stack of half-approved memorials were all scattered on the ground in a mess.

    "What a minister! Do you still know that you are my minister? In your heart, I am afraid that you are serving another monarch, right?"

    Xiao Lie swept away the objects on the floor. He made fists with both hands and trembled slightly. Then with a bang, he pressed the edge of the table hard on the left and right sides. He leaned forward suddenly and looked down at Pei You'an. He gritted his teeth, his face was slightly distorted, and his voice was almost like a low roar.  An enraged tiger.

    A wisp of candlelight from the nearby candlestick swayed in the dark wind blowing from his robe.

    Pei Youan straightened his body.

    "In the heart of the guilty minister, I only wish for you to live forever, this is what I say from the bottom of my heart."

    Pei Youan said slowlyI know you also have second thoughts about him, how can you bear it?  In the past few days, Long Live has been unable to sleep all night long and has never closed his eyes.  You have committed such a heinous crime, and Long Live is willing to forgive you, so why should you fight him to the end?  Say it, show your loyalty, and it will be over.  Besides, sir, do you really not care about the life and death of the Zhen family?  "

    Pei You'an smiled slightly: "I will bear my sins. I believe in Long Live, not to anger innocent people."

    Li Yuangui looked at him for a long time, shook his head, turned around and left the secret prison.

    Xiao Lie didn't sleep well for several nights. His face was dark and his eyes were bloodshot. After hearing Li Yuangui's report, he looked angry: "Does he really think that I won't attack the Zhen family?"

    Li Yuangui hurriedly said: "Long live, think twice. Let Master Pei think about it for a few more days. I will go back to persuade you."

    Xiao Lie gritted his teeth and said: "Now that I have spoken, there is no more childishness! Put the person in prison first, and I will see if he will say anything!"

    When Li Yuangui tried to persuade him again, Xiao Lie's face turned cold: "You don't need to say more, just go and pass on my order and order the local government to implement it without delay."

    At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps of eunuchs walking outside. It seemed that something urgent had happened. Li Yuangui hurriedly turned around and went out. When he saw his other godson approaching, his face was filled with joy. When he saw him, he knelt down.  , reported: "Godfather, I'm so happy! Auspiciousness comes from heaven! Auspiciousness comes from heaven!"

    Just half a month ago, in order to expand the dock, the Zhen family in Quanzhou dug deep into the dock mouth, which had become shallower and shallower due to years of sea sand accumulation. They dug out a square seal under the silt and sand.  After it was washed clean, it was discovered that there was an eight-character seal inscription on the jade seal that read "Ordered by Heaven, Live Long and Prosper". At that time, countless people watched. A well-informed person explained the origin. Everyone knelt down and worshiped. Then, together, the seal was revealed.  Shen Xiangrui escorted him to the government office. The Quanzhou magistrate recognized that this should be the jade seal that had disappeared before. King Shun'an had disappeared for a while, but now it was seen again. He immediately wrapped it in red cloth, put it in a brocade box, and took the Zhen family with him.  Together with the local elected gentry Su Lao from Quanzhou, they beat gongs and drums and presented the gift to the Fujian governor's office.

    Gao Huaiyuan was so happy that he personally escorted the jade seal, traveling day and night, and finally arrived in the capital. Since he was not alive, he did not dare to enter the city without permission. At this moment, the group of people were waiting outside the city gate to show their auspiciousness.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
