The man in black robe looked calm, but Wei Bi sighed: "Mr. Du, are you saying that I shouldn't take the initiative to plead guilty?"
"Dali Temple can't produce evidence. As long as you insist on killing me, Qin Xiao can't do anything to you." The man in black robe looked at Wei Bi and said, "As long as you stay in Dali Temple for three days, Dali Temple won't let you go. Master
There will also be countless ways for you to get out of Dali Temple safely and soundly."
Wei Bi solemnly said: "I understand what Mr. Du means, but you don't know that people from the Ministry of Punishment have already intervened. Zhu Dongshan ran to Dali Temple in the middle of the night and asked Qin Xiao for help. Once Qin Xiao could not withstand the pressure of the Ministry of Punishment,
If you hand me over to the Criminal Department, no one can save me."
Mr. Du also sighed and said: "Do you think that after you take the initiative to plead guilty, the Ministry of Punishment will overturn the case again. As long as the case is overturned, you will be innocent?"
Wei Bi nodded and said, "That's exactly it."
"Master Wei, with all due respect, you are also very smart and confused for a while." Mr. Du shook his head and said, "How could you come up with such a method? Have you ever thought about what would happen if the Ministry of Punishment does not reverse the case?"
Wei Bi was very confident and said: "Dali Temple seized power from the Ministry of Justice. Lu Junzhong will never turn a blind eye. After Dali Temple determines this case, Lu Junzhong will definitely re-try it." Looking at Mr. Du's deep eyes, he said:
"Mr. Du, unless it is absolutely necessary, I don't want my wife to rescue me, so as not to implicate her."
Mr. Du smiled lightly and said, "It's good that you can consider Madam."
"If I fall into the hands of the Ministry of Punishment, even if my wife takes action, I may not be able to save my life from Lu Junzhong." Wei Bi said with a bitter smile: "I took the initiative to plead guilty and thought about it all night before finally making a decision. If the Ministry of Punishment reverses the case,
Naturally, I was found not guilty in the end and was safe and sound. Even if Dali Temple withstood the pressure of the Ministry of Punishment and failed to reverse the case, even though it was found guilty by Dali Temple, I believe that Madam can still save me, which is at least much better than falling into the hands of the Ministry of Punishment.
.”
Mr. Du stared into Wei Bi's eyes, was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Master Wei, may I ask if it was really you who planned the murder of your maid and your wife?"
Seeing Mr. Du's solemn expression, Wei Bi hesitated for a moment before asking, "Why do you ask Mr. Du like this?"
"This is what the master asked me to ask."
"Since Madam is asking, I naturally dare not hide it." Wei Bi said seriously: "In order to be with Madam, I will do whatever it takes."
Mr. Du stared at Wei Bi's eyes with sharp eyes. Mr. Du saw that Wei Bi was a little hairy. After a long time, Mr. Du's mouth showed a faint smile and said: "No poison, no husband, you can do this for my wife."
Madam should be very happy about the sacrifice."
"Mr. Du, did you just say that you came to rescue me on Madam's orders?" Wei Bi asked hurriedly: "Can I leave tonight?"
Mr. Du nodded and said: "Madam is waiting for you, you can come with me now." He said loudly: "Come here, open the cell door!"
Zhang Shun was not far away. Although he did not hear the conversation between the two, he heard Mr. Du's shouting. He ran over and cupped his hands and asked, "What are your orders, sir?"
"Open the cell door." Mr. Du said calmly: "I have been ordered to take Mr. Wei away."
Zhang Shun fell to his knees and his face changed miserably: "Sir, how can this be possible? Unless there is an official document from Dali Temple to transfer prisoners, no one can take away prisoners from Dali Temple Prison."
"Not even me?"
"Sir, if I let Master Wei leave, my head will definitely not be saved." Zhang Shun said in fear: "Sir, I don't dare to stop you. I just ask you to let Dali Temple send an official letter. With the official letter,
Villain...!"
"Then you know, if I can't take Mr. Wei away tonight, all your family will die." Mr. Du looked coldly: "You should know that this little thing can be easily done by me."
Zhang Shun's face turned pale and he knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.
Mr. Du sighed and said, "It seems you want me to open the cell door myself?"
Zhang Shun knew that Mr. Du had made up his mind, and he was unable to resist at all, so he could only shout loudly: "Come...someone, open the cell door!"
A jailer hurried over and opened the cell door. Wei Bi straightened his clothes and walked out of the cell proudly.
"Sir, I beg you to go back and explain to Dali Temple. It's not that I've neglected my duty, but... it's the boss who wants to take Master Wei away...!"
Mr. Du said calmly: "If people from Dali Temple ask, you can say that I took him away." He said to Wei Bi: "Master Wei, the carriage is waiting outside. Come with me."
Wei Bi followed Mr. Du and left the Dali Temple prison. Out of the main gate, it was already midnight and the moon was in the sky. Wei Bi raised his head, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "It's more comfortable outside."
The inconspicuous-looking carriage had been driven over by the coachman. Wei Bi got on the carriage first, followed by Mr. Du. The two sat down opposite each other in the carriage. Wei Bi asked: "Mr. Du, what are we doing now?
Going to see Madam? But...after I leave Dali Temple, the people in Dali Temple will definitely not give up...!"
"After entering Madam's gate, except for the saint, is there anyone in Kyoto who dares to take you out?" Mr. Du smiled disdainfully: "Don't worry, Madam's place is safer than anywhere else. Madam will protect you, no matter in Dali
Neither the temple nor the Ministry of Punishment can touch you." Then he said solemnly: "It's just that Master Wei has a confession in Dali Temple. When Dali Temple comes out with that confession, have you thought about how to deal with it?"
Wei Bi said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Du, I have already thought of a way to deal with it."
"That's very good." Mr. Du didn't ask much.
Chen Shun and other jail guards from Dali Temple watched the carriage leave majestically and quickly disappear into the night, crying without tears.
The car was going by and the moonlight was guiding the way. Mr. Du folded his arms in front of his chest and closed his eyes to meditate. Wei Bi was also leaning on the car, with a proud smile on his lips that could not be concealed.
Suddenly I heard the coachman yelling, and the carriage suddenly stopped.
Wei Bi was a little surprised. He knew that his destination was quite far away from here. He had just left Dali Temple and hadn't walked out of a street yet, but he didn't know why the carriage stopped suddenly. He couldn't help but step forward and lift the curtain.
Asked: "What's wrong?"
The driver looked back, then raised his hand and pointed forward.
Under the moonlight, I saw a tall horse standing in the middle of the long street. There was a person sitting on the horse. He was not tall and was even a little thin. The single horse stood in the middle of the street, blocking the way.
"Where are you going, Mr. Wei?" The man on the horse said with a smile, "Why did you leave without saying hello?"
Wei Bi immediately recognized Qin Xiao's voice and was quite surprised. He didn't expect that Qin Xiao knew that he would be taken away and blocked his way. He couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Mr. Du. Mr. Du was calm and composed, and just nodded slightly.
Wei Bi then got out of the carriage, got off the carriage, walked to the front of the carriage, smiled and said with cupped hands: "It turns out to be Mr. Qin, why is Mr. Qin here too?"
"Master Wei is the first case that I have tried, and the case has been concluded and discussed." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "Master Wei was taken to prison and sentenced to death. Logically speaking, he should wait until autumn for questioning.
Beheading, and during this period, even if there is a decree from a saint, an official letter from Dali Temple is needed to bring Master Wei out, and the official letter must be signed by me. But I don’t remember signing the injunction or even the release document.
, so I would like to ask, how did Mr. Wei get out of the Dali Temple prison?"
Wei Bi put one hand behind his back, raised his hand to stroke the beautiful beard under his chin, and said with a smile: "To be honest, it is really not difficult for me to leave the Dali Temple prison."
"So Master Wei is going to Mrs. Cheng Guo's house?" Qin Xiao was still calm and composed.
Wei Bi's body trembled and he frowned.
"Wei Cheng previously confessed that Master Wei killed his maid and his wife in order to achieve rapid success." Qin Xiao sat on the horse, his eyes like stars in the night sky, staring at Wei Bi with unusual sharpness, but his voice was very calm.
: "I have never understood what the relationship between a rapid rise to success and killing a maid and his wife is. I am an ordinary ordinary person. In my heart, if one is to rise to a rapid career, he should share the glory and wealth with his wife. How can I possibly try to do so?
Murdering his wife?”
Wei Bi was calm and composed, just stroking his beard, and even had a slight smile on his face.
"It wasn't until today that I finally figured out the reason." Qin Xiao sighed: "It turns out that Mr. Wei has been favored by Mrs. Cheng Guo for a long time. Maybe Mr. Wei has really won the love of Mrs. Cheng Guo, so Mrs. Cheng Guo and you also
It’s a lot of love.”
Wei Bi smiled faintly and said, "It seems that Mr. Qin is smarter than I thought."
"The Zhao family of Duke Cheng Guo attempted to rebel ten years ago and his entire family was beheaded." Qin Xiao said slowly: "The lineage of Duke Cheng Guo was originally cut off, but the saint gave the title of Duke Cheng Guo to Ximen Yi, Marquis of Qinghe, and Ximen Yi
Yi is now the husband of Mrs. Chengguo, and is also the saint’s sister-in-law.”
The night breeze was blowing gently, and the strong Black Overlord snorted, but the whole long street was quiet.
"Gong Cheng Guo is one of the sixteen divine generals of the empire, and his title is the founding title. Therefore, the saint does not want such a title to disappear because of the rejection of the Zhao family, and there are not many people in the court who are worthy of such a title."
Qin Xiao chuckled and said: "Ximen Yi is just the right candidate. It's just a pity that six years ago, Cheng Guo Gong Ximen Yi passed away due to illness and had no heirs, so Mrs. Cheng Guo was alone."
"These are things that everyone in the court knows, and I naturally know them too, so Mr. Qin doesn't need to tell me again." Wei Bi looked a little impatient.
Qin Xiao sighed: "I don't know why Mrs. Chengguo likes you, but Master Wei can be favored by Mrs. He naturally has his own abilities." Shaking the reins of his horse slightly, the Black Overlord took a few steps forward, getting closer to Wei Bi.
As he got closer, Qin Xiao reined in his horse and continued: "Mrs. Cheng Guo is a widow and has never remarried. When she met Mr. Wei, she may have had the desire to stay together with Mr. Wei. Of course Mr. Wei would like this.
, if you can marry Mrs. Cheng Guo, Mr. Wei will be transformed and become a relative of the emperor immediately. Needless to say, you will be promoted to a higher rank, and your Wei family will indeed become prosperous because of this. "
Wei Bi frowned slightly and moved his lips slightly, but in the end no sound came out.
"But it is a pity that Master Wei wants to marry Mrs. Cheng Guo and stay together forever, but there is a big obstacle in the middle." Qin Xiao stared at Wei Bi and said word by word: "That is your wife!
