"Now, although I feel a little wronged sometimes, I am actually quite satisfied to be able to see you and talk to you every day. Don't get angry with the eldest lady because of me. She is the royal wife after all, and she is a little arrogant. It should be on the body as well.”

When Jiang Rongsheng saw her like this, he couldn't care less about Qin.

He immediately took her into his arms and coaxed her like a beloved child.

"Wan Niang, you are so kind. Don't worry. Even for Yun'er, I won't let her drive you out. You are my Jiang Rongsheng's woman, so I will definitely protect you."

Zou Wanniang hugged him movedly.

"Brother Rongsheng, you are so kind."

Department of embroidery.

Pei Qingyan wore a black mask and sat behind the desk with a folding book.

Su Zian stood next to him anxiously and whispered: "Sir, I... did this matter well?"

Pei Qingyan said "hmm".

Su Zian chuckled and rubbed his hands.

"Then when will you assign me a new task?"

Pei Qingyan glanced at him and said, "Are you in a hurry?"

Su Zian shook his head.

"It's not that I'm anxious, I just find it boring to follow you around every day... Ah, it's not that I don't want to follow you. What I mean is that I want to make meritorious deeds and want everyone to see my abilities. , so that people won’t say I came in through the back door, which would embarrass you."

Pei Qingyan smiled.

He handed a folder to Su Zian.

"Look."

Su Zian took the folder, opened it, and immediately changed his face.

"Are you sure, those iron guides really come from the Jiang family?"

"Ah."

Pei Qingyan narrowed his eyes slightly and tapped his fingertips on the table.

Su Zian said angrily: "This is too abominable. As an official of the imperial court, he actually smuggled Tie Yin and supported King Yong's rebellion. In my opinion, this is a major crime against the Nine Tribes. I immediately sent people to surround Jiang." Home, catch them all."

Pei Qingyan said: "No need."

Su Zian: "???"

Pei Qingyan looked at him and realized that his attitude was too firm. He coughed and said, "What I mean is, maybe there is someone else behind Jiang Rongsheng, or maybe this is just a misunderstanding. Anyway, Don't alert the enemy first, secretly detain Jiang Rongsheng and bring him back, and then interrogate him."

Su Zian nodded confusedly.

"okay."

However, after he took two steps, he felt something was wrong.

It's not like the Embroidery Department has never encountered this kind of thing before. When has it ever been so hesitant now?

He couldn't help but look at Pei Qingyan suspiciously.

Is it because of the young lady that Mr. Pei is so special to the Jiang family?

Realizing something, his expression changed slightly, but the next second, he met Pei Qingyan's cold gaze, and the man said in a deep voice: "What, is there anything else?"

Su Zian reacted immediately and shook his head repeatedly, "It's okay, I'll leave first."

After saying that, he ran away as if something was chasing him from behind.

Pei Qingyan shook his head helplessly.

The next night.

Jiang Rong was relieved of duty, but before he could return home, the carriage was stopped halfway.

The driver didn't even have time to ask who it was before he was knocked unconscious. Immediately afterwards, several men in black rushed through the carriage, slapped Jiang Rongsheng unconscious, and took him away.

In the dungeon of the Embroidery Department.

Jiang Rongsheng was tied to a torture device. A basin of cold water was poured on him, and he suddenly woke up.

"Who? Who dares to insult me?!"

When he opened his eyes, he saw that the surroundings were like ghost fire, and the air was very cold. The surroundings were all instruments of torture reflecting the cold light. There was a chair in front of him, and a man was sitting on the chair.

The man was tall but slightly thin, and wore a black mask on his face. Even if he couldn't see his true appearance, he could still feel a black evil aura from him, like the hell god.

Jiang Rongsheng's heart suddenly felt like it was falling into an ice cave.

"Who are you? Do you know that I am an official of the imperial court? How dare you kidnap me and let others know and be..."

Jiang Rongsheng couldn't say what happened next.

Because in his eyes, another man in black attire came over, slapped a shining iron hook on his face, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know what this is?"

Jiang Rongsheng's face turned pale.

He is the magistrate of the state and often interrogates prisoners. How could he not know the use of this pipa hook?

Jiang Rongsheng was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.

"You, who are you? I have not offended you. I know, which family of prisoners are you related to, right? Tell me your name. As long as you tell me your name, I will let him go immediately. Please Please let me go."

Pei Qingyan couldn't help frowning when he looked at his cowardly and fearful look.

The person in charge of the criminal investigation was also speechless for a while.

"I said, can you have some backbone? I haven't done anything to you yet, and you are so scared. How can you withstand my torture later?"

"S-torture?"

Jiang Rongsheng was shocked.

Only then did he realize that the attires of the people in front of him looked a bit familiar.

Looking around again, in addition to the cold instruments of torture and the torches like hell's will-o'-the-wisps, there was also a flag with several large characters embroidered on it: Embroidered Clothes Department.

Embroidery Department?

This is actually the Embroidery Department?

So, these people in front of me are also people from the Embroidery Department?

Jiang Rongsheng was overjoyed.

"It turns out it's the adults from the Embroidery Department. Please forgive me for my clumsiness. I really don't know what crime I have committed. I would like to trouble you to catch him here."

As long as you are from the Embroidery Department, it will be easy.

Jiang Rongsheng knew very well that the Embroidery Department usually did not arrest people for no reason. If someone was arrested, either a citizen had reported it, or the person had committed a serious crime.

And he thinks that although he is not an honest official, he has never done anything harmful to the world, let alone serious crimes. He cherishes his life very much. He will never do anything that violates laws and disciplines. of.

So, he believed it was a misunderstanding.

There must be some Xiao Xiao who was setting him up behind his back, so the adults of the Embroidery Department misunderstood and arrested him.

As long as the misunderstanding is explained clearly, he can leave.

However, Pei Qingyan lifted his clothes coldly.

Then he said in a cold voice: "King Yong rebelled and thousands of weapons were found in his house. Do you know?"

Jiang Rongsheng was stunned and said in surprise: "I know, this matter has been spread all over the world, but what does this have to do with lower officials?"

Pei Qingyan smiled slightly.

"It is reported that the iron guide for making weapons in Prince Yong's Mansion came from your Jiang family."

Jiang Rongsheng: "...!!!"

He widened his eyes in disbelief.

Pei Qingyan stared at him indifferently.

From his reaction, Pei Qingyan could clearly see that Jiang Rongsheng might really be unaware of this matter.

But not afraid of [-], just in case...

He waved his hand, and the person under his hand immediately understood and thrust the hook through Jiang Rongsheng's pipa bone.

"what--!"

Screams immediately sounded from the prison.
