My uncle, he has all the power in the world

Chapter 29 Pei Pingqiu’s Death
  Prime Minister's Study Room.

Unlike Su Qingmo's strategizing, Su Yuanhe was sitting in the study with his brows furrowed, as if he was worried.

After the Qingfeng meeting, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince never mentioned the matter of establishing a concubine. If the child could not be married into the East Palace, then even if the fourth princess went to get married and the Crown Prince ascended the throne, what would he gain?

A few words of gentle praise?

Do not!
  This is definitely not what he wants!
  With his ability, it is not too much to grant him the title of Prince of the opposite sex!

If you want to get to the next level, you have to let your baby sit in the back seat, but baby's current reputation is
  At this moment, the butler's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Master, someone is coming from the palace. The Queen sent people to deliver many things, saying they are for the eldest lady!"

Su Yuanhe raised his eyes, quickly stood up and walked out.

Sure enough, there were many young eunuchs and a father-in-law standing in the yard. The young eunuchs were holding trays with both hands. The things inside were all used by women. They were exquisite, luxurious and of good style.

How is this going? Su Yuanhe narrowed his eyes.

That day, Guard Lin took Su Qingmo away. He was restless, but after waiting for most of the day, the prince finally sent someone.

"The fourth princess is no longer in danger. Miss Su is temporarily staying in the palace. This matter is of great importance and must not be spread outside!"

The man left after saying this.

So today, he was not surprised that Ning Keyao appeared at the palace banquet, but what was strange was, why did the queen reward Su Qingmo?

"Su Qingmo..." Su Yuanhe muttered to himself as he looked at these rewards.

Is it really just because I have recovered my memory that I returned home this time?
  Then...

What do you remember!
  late at night.

Prison Department of Punishment.

The moonlight was thick, parting the clouds and mist, and falling on the ground like snow, ice and bright.

At this time, Feng Qing, the Minister of Punishment, frowned and looked very ugly.

A quarter of an hour ago, the Criminal Department hired an assassin!

The assassin entered the Criminal Department without anyone noticing, and even injured Pei Pingqiu. More than ten of them went after him, but they couldn't even catch him!

He didn't care whether Pei Pingqiu died or not, but how could he bear the charge of poor supervision?
  "Master Feng, that assassin has great martial arts skills, so..." The officers and soldiers on night duty lowered their heads and sounded slightly nervous.

Before he finished speaking, Feng Qing raised his hand and interrupted: "Do you have any clues?"

Right now, he just wanted to find the assassin as soon as possible.

The officer and soldier were puzzled: "That dagger is extremely ordinary, there is nothing visible about it."

Feng Qing's expression became even worse after hearing this, and he asked, "How is Pei Pingqiu?"

"Fortunately, he was discovered in time and the bleeding has been stopped. There is no fear for his life now, but" the officer and soldier said, "he keeps yelling to see you!"

In the cell.

Several people in the Pei Mansion were still wearing luxurious clothes, which did not match the gray-headed and frightened appearance.

Because of the assassination just now, several female relatives huddled together and trembled, and Mrs. Pei even fainted from fright.

Pei Zhuo's face was filled with panic, fearing that another assassin would come and kill him.

"Dad...Dad..." he said tremblingly: "When will His Highness the Crown Prince come to save us..."

Until now, Pei Zhuo thought that Ning Lichen would definitely rescue them. After all, he could even molest the soon-to-be Crown Princess without any harm. This shows how much the Crown Prince values ​​the Pei family!

Pei Pingqiu, on the other hand, was leaning against the corner and pressing the wound tightly, but his eyes were dull and his expression was strange.

Just now, if the officers and soldiers of the Ministry of Justice hadn't arrived in time and the assassin had panicked and lost his accuracy, then the dagger would have penetrated...

It's his heart!

Just like that, the dagger pierced into his left shoulder and forcefully forced him back a few steps. It showed that he had great internal strength and was determined to kill him!
  Thinking back to what happened just now...

"Who! How dare you break into the prison of the Criminal Department!"

There was a burst of chaotic footsteps, and the assassin was obviously startled when he saw someone coming.

"Oops! Your Highness tells you that Pei Pingqiu must die tonight!"

The assassin's voice was very small, rough and hoarse, making it difficult to tell the difference between men and women, but he heard it clearly!
  And just when he was shocked, he saw a flash of cold light, the assassin threw the dagger at him, and then flew away.

If the assassin hadn't been in a hurry to escape, his life would have been decided here.

Pei Pingqiu's eyes were full of unwillingness.

That sentence, Your Highness...

Of course he is talking about His Highness the Crown Prince!

He was already about to die, so His Highness the Second and His Highness the Sixth would not go to the Punishment Department at night to kill him!

and…

When the Pei Mansion ransacked the house, the guard clearly said that it was the fourth princess who opened the wine cup in public and discovered the copper inside!

It is strange to hold a sword at a palace banquet, but it is even more incredible to have a wine cup mixed with copper!

With all these strange things happening, someone was clearly trying to frame him!
  How could there be such a coincidence that not only the wine cup was exchanged, but also it happened to be chopped into pieces by the fourth princess?

How can this be?

Then the only explanation is that the fourth princess knew that there was copper in the wine cup, and she deliberately chopped it into pieces for His Majesty to see!
  And someone who can command the four princesses.
  Who else could it be besides the prince? !

Pei Pingqiu pressed the wound firmly, as if he didn't know the pain.

I have worked for the Prince's Mansion for many years, and how much benefit I have given to the Prince!

Now Ning Lichen actually wants to cross the river and demolish the bridge and eradicate the root cause!     Is it because Zhuo'er teased Su Xinyan last time?
  Or has Ning Lichen found someone to replace him?

Everyone said that being with a king is like being with a tiger, but only now did he understand!
  How can there be any benefit in seeking skin from a tiger? !

He shouldn't!
  He shouldn't!

at this time…

"Master Pei".

Feng Qing walked slowly outside the cell, raised his head and said: "If you want me to cry out for you, then there is no need!"

From a prosperous imperial businessman to a dying prisoner, Feng Qing has been accustomed to strange things for many years as an official and has no sense of them.

Seeing Feng Qing, Pei Pingqiu finally regained his composure. He stood up with difficulty against the corner and said in a hoarse voice: "Master Feng is wrong. The common people will not redress their grievances! The common people want to see Your Majesty!"

"Ha!" Feng Qing sneered: "Is Mr. Pei still unclear about his situation?"

You don't even know what your current status is, why would you want to meet His Majesty?

Unexpectedly, Pei Pingqiu said: "I want to inform Your Majesty of the whereabouts of those five hundred real red gold wine cups! Can Mr. Feng be responsible for this matter?"

Feng Qing narrowed his eyes and finally looked at Pei Pingqiu seriously!
  When His Majesty asked the Pei Mansion to make five hundred red gold wine cups, a large amount of gold was used, but today it was discovered that they were all fake. So that batch of gold...
  Where did you go?

If you find out about this matter yourself, wouldn't you just make up for the merit!
  Feng Qing raised his eyes and finally said: "Whether your Majesty sees you or not, it all depends on Master Pei's life!"

After hearing this, Pei Pingqiu finally felt relieved.

He looked at the trembling family members behind him, and his eyes became more determined!

If you continue to stay here, they will die sooner or later!

If the prince can send someone once, he can send someone twice. The next time, he may not be so lucky.

Ning Lichen, if you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!
  Day two.

In the morning.

Emperor Yan Ning sat at the top with a livid face, causing everyone to speculate as to what was going on with His Majesty.

Logically speaking, Master Bei Qijiang admires the fourth princess very much, and the marriage went very smoothly. Your Majesty should be very happy these days, but why does it look like this?
  But at this moment, Emperor Yan Ning suddenly picked up something and threw it down, which frightened everyone.

They all knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

"Prince, let me take a good look at what is written here!"

After hearing this, everyone looked carefully out of the corner of their eyes and saw that what His Majesty threw over was actually a book, and it was thrown at the feet of the Crown Prince!

Finally, half of the people breathed a sigh of relief.

But Ning Lichen didn't understand the reason at all and was confused. Yao'er had Jiang Xian's approval. His father shouldn't have this attitude...

He picked up the book and opened it, but he was confused.

It is clear and detailed, and what is recorded here is clearly the benefits that Pei Pingqiu has given him in the past five years!

In the past few years, Pei Pingqiu has raised the price of goods several times or even dozens of times and sold them into the palace, and most of the money he received...

Turn it all over to him!

Every note, every word, every detail is recorded in it!
  "What do you want to say?" Emperor Yan Ning lowered his eyes and looked at Ning Lichen, showing no emotion or anger.

"Father! You are wronged!" Ning Lichen said: "What is written above is simply made up of nothing. Someone must have framed my son!"

Emperor Yan Ning said coldly: "Are you saying that the Pei Mansion has no enmity or enmity against you, and yet he will drag you, the prince, with him even before he dies?"

Last night, Feng Qing suddenly asked for an audience and said that Pei Pingqiu was going to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit. He said that it was related to the five hundred red gold wine cups.

Then he met Pei Pingqiu.

Unexpectedly, Pei Pingqiu directly took out this account book, and he realized that in the past five years, his good son and prince had swallowed so many things from the court!

Pei Pingqiu said that in the past five years, although he had raised the price, he had never shoddy the quality. The prince received 60% of the profit, which he clearly understood and tacitly approved.

As for those five hundred wine cups, Pei Pingqiu guaranteed with his life that there would be no problem, but at that time.
  After the wine cups were prepared, they were first inspected by the prince and then delivered to the palace!

He dares to take responsibility, but he doesn't recognize the wine cup!
  Then Pei Pingqiu swore in front of the emperor that nothing he said was a lie. He only asked Your Majesty to leave descendants for the Pei family, and then...

He was killed on the spot in the main hall!

Emperor Yanning was furious!
  Is this wine cup checked by the prince?

What has he done?

Pei Pingqiu clearly meant that there was nothing wrong with the wine cup made by his Pei family, but Ning Lichen had replaced it privately!

Since Pei Pingqiu dares to die to prove it, it is most likely true!

It’s just that he colluded with Pei Pingqiu and coveted the court’s money, but this wine cup was actually made by Ning Lichen alone!
  It was hard to guard against house thieves day and night, and he was really pissed off!

In fact, Pei Pingqiu cannot be blamed for this matter. Zhong Chi only told him that Ning Keyao broke the wine cup from Pei's house, but did not tell him.
  Only one was chopped into pieces!
  Pei Pingqiu thought that it was Ning Keyao who opened his wine cups one by one and inspected them in front of everyone, and discovered that there was copper inside.

Therefore, he concluded that those wine cups must have been replaced by Ning Lichen in order to frame him and eradicate the root cause!
  He knew in his heart that he had embezzled money from the court in the past five years, which was enough to kill him a hundred times. If Ning Lichen wanted to kill them all, he would definitely not survive.

But he died...

Ning Lichen shouldn't think too hard!
  Therefore, the fact that the prince checked it first is just nonsense, plus this account book that never leaves his body...

How could Emperor Yan Ning let Ning Lichen off so easily!
  Then, in order to save a few legitimate sons, he crashed to death in the main hall!
  After he died and stayed, he tricked Ning Lichen again, and Pei Pingqiu died without regrets.

Ning Lichen was miserable.

"Father, I don't know. I have no grudges against the Pei family. I don't know why Pei Pingqiu framed me!" Ning Lichen looked like he had been wronged.

But who knows, Emperor Yan Ning said word by word: "Did I tell you, it's Pei Pingqiu?"
