Chapter 245: Collecting evidence
After entering the capital, Pei Yao could mobilize his men.
With the secret help from King Dun, it is not too difficult to collect evidence that the King secretly sent someone to intervene in the search and rescue.
But the difficulty is to find evidence that the true intention of these people in the Mingwang Sect was not to help, but to kill Pei Yao.
After all, anyone can perform the drama.
Emperor Chengjing was already partial to King Ming. At that time, King Ming insisted that he sent someone to participate in the search and rescue because he was worried about Pei Yao's safety and wanted to do more, it would be difficult to refute.
Pei Yao had a piece of evidence before, which was the long sword he snatched from the guards of the Ming Palace.
The weapons and outfits of the guards of each prefecture are made by each prefecture and can be identified.
But unfortunately, the long sword was found to be taken away when the Ming King searched the Liu family because of inappropriate storage.
At that time, the sword caused some danger.
So now it's gone, so I have to collect it again.
Not only in the Ming Palace, but also in the palace, Pei Yao also tried to contact Ruipin using his original methods.
This is to check Queen Li.
Pei Yao has been fighting with King Ming for many years, but he still knows the King Ming very well.
In the words of later generations, Chunchun is an ambitious but incompetent mama boy.
So if Queen Li must be involved in such a thing, she will be considered a breakthrough point.
In order to cooperate with Pei Yao and give him time to collect evidence of the Ming King, Prime Minister Lu and Hu Daixu also pretended to still search for Pei Yao's whereabouts on both sides of the Xiang River every day.
After all, as long as they don’t find Pei Yao in one day, the Ming King will feel that he still has a chance.
Although the delay will not be too long, it will definitely be useful.
As for the evidence, if you can't find it, then make it yourself!
Fortunately, the Ming King was not clean and neat in his work, so he was not as good as his mother Queen Li.
Especially now that Pei Yao's whereabouts have not been found for a long time, King Ming was a little impatient and revealed many flaws in his work.
Pei Yao was also angry this time and ordered someone to catch the living.
Once the guards sent by the King of Ming found out, they would catch the interrogation. Those who were willing to admit their conviction would leave their lives. They were considered as witnesses. They were too hard to be too lazy to kill them, so they killed them directly.
Among these guards, the most important one is the personal servant of King Ming, a man named Zhang Jing'an.
He has been doing things for King Ming for many years, and this time he will definitely be indispensable.
Pei Yao insisted on fighting for a result this time, so he directly offered a reward from his secret guards and private soldiers.
It was worth his effort. In just one day, the person named Zhang Jing'an was captured alive.
In the past, this person was only staying in the Ming Palace and accompanying the Ming King, which was not easy to catch, but now he is going out to search for Pei Yao's whereabouts? As long as he comes out, he will have a chance to start.
Especially this time Pei Yao arrested him forcibly, which was a bit of a cost, so the group of people Zhang Jing'an, including him, were captured alive.
When the person was taken to the other courtyard and in front of Pei Yao, Zhang Jing'an was still in a difficult situation.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is good at it, so the official will know that you will definitely get out of danger."
"Since Commander Zhang knows Gu's abilities, why bother to oppose Gu?"
Pei Yao was wearing a white robe and sat behind the tea table. While talking, he was still brewing tea leaves in his hand, looking very lazy and comfortable, as if everything was in his control.
This attitude undoubtedly made Zhang Jing'an feel shaken.
He thought that even if Pei Yao was not dead, he should have hid somewhere in a very embarrassing manner. He was seriously injured, his clothes were torn, and he could not eat enough. How could he look so clean and noble now like an exiled immortal?
"Everyone is just for their own masters."
Although it was shaken, Zhang Jing'an was still very stubborn and still did not let go.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince captured the lower lord. I don't know what the intention is. The lower lord is the personal servant of the King of Ming. If you want to take the lower lord, you should at least say to the King of Ming. It is probably inappropriate to tie him up like this."
After saying this, he saw Pei Yao suddenly raise his eyes and stab him coldly, like a goshawk, sharp and sharp, as if he could penetrate people.
"A good bird chooses trees to live in, and the lonely have the will of cherishing talents. Does Commander Zhang have no desire to cherish his life?"
Perhaps Pei Yao's aura was too strong, Zhang Jing'an felt stiff all over, his scalp was a little numb, and his throat seemed to be pinched, and he couldn't speak.
And Pei Yao didn't seem to have much patience.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, he spilled out a cup of tea he had just made in his hand and said lightly.
"Take it down, when will you change your mind, and when will you come to see the orphan again?"
After the person was pulled out, King Dun of the dark came out from behind the screen.
"What will the emperor prepare for next? For the outside world, how many days will you be missing?"
"With physical evidence, it's natural to come to the hall to confront each other." Pei Yao said coldly, brewed a cup of tea himself and handed it to King Dun, "Thank you for your second brother this time. The kindness is in my heart, and I will definitely be rich in the future.
Thanks."
King Dun took the teacup with both hands and said respectfully, "It's all my brothers should do."
Inside a small villa.
That night, King Ming did not wait for Zhang Jing'an to come back, and later realized something was wrong.
Zhang Jing'an is his capable arm and comes to report every day, but if he doesn't show up tonight, it won't be that something happened.
But if something happens, how could no one report it? Zhang Jingan, as the commander of the Ming Prince's Mansion, would not take people to act together.
After walking back and forth in the room for a while, I finally felt uneasy, so I sent someone else to look for it.
In the middle of the night, the person came back but said he didn't notice anything. The brothers who went out with Zhang Jing'an disappeared together.
The Ming King naturally did not believe this statement and ordered them to look for it again.
Even if Pei Yao disappeared, how could even disappear so many of his people?
With an uneasy heart, the Ming King couldn't fall asleep all night.
When he went to court with red bloodshots all over his eyes the next day, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley when he stepped into the Golden Palace, and his whole body was as if he was thundering, and he suddenly stood there on the spot.
Pei Yao is Pei Yao.
At this moment, the person wearing the prince's auspicious robes and standing in the center of the hall with his head held high, wasn't Pei Yao who had disappeared for several days, and had no one to see his body to die.
"You you."
"The Ming King seemed surprised to see the orphan."
Pei Yao turned around and looked at him with a smile, brushing his sleeves, looking calm and gentle.
"Or, Gu Neng stood here smoothly, disappointed and unexpectedly?"
Pei Yao's voice was heard in his ears, but Ming Wang felt his whole mind explode.
No matter how stupid he is, he can imagine what it means to be Pei Yao standing here at this moment and Zhang Jingan is gone again.
Either Zhang Jing'an has betrayed, or Zhang Jing'an has been arrested, he may have betrayed him.
At this time, the father-in-law of the Ming King, Liu Minghe, the Minister of Personnel, arrived and stood behind him and called him twice before he could wake up to his senses.
Before he could speak, he heard a sound coming from the door.
When the officials heard the sound, they knelt down and saw a bright yellow dragon robe rushing from the sedan chair and rushing into the hall.
The expression on Emperor Chengjing's face was also unexpected and panicked. After seeing Pei Yao standing in the Golden Palace, he gasped for no reason.
Although he did not participate in this incident, he had already guessed a lot in the past few days. He had never taken action to stop him and pretended not to know. He also had the intention of taking the opportunity to get rid of Pei Yao.
