Favoring concubines and ignoring wives? The mistress of the marquisate remarried a powerful official

But Qian Xingyu couldn't hide now, which made him very distressed. Qian Xingyu looked at Yin Yichen with a sad face and said immediately, "Yin Yichen, I asked you if you wanted me to live, but you came to pick a fight with me at this critical moment."

Yin Yichen looked at Qian Xingyu and immediately said with a smile, "How could I be looking for trouble with you? I am here to ask for your help, right?"

Qian Xingyu looked at Yin Yichen and said slowly, "You come to me for help at this critical moment, which is no different from asking for my life."

"It's just that you have to help me now. In short, you can't just sit there and watch. But I won't make it difficult for you. You just need to do your job fairly and try the case I mentioned in the Dali Temple."

Qian Xingyu had a bitter look on his face and asked Yin Yichen, "What case?"

"The case of the grain road."

After Yin Yichen said this, Qian Xingyu's face became even uglier. He immediately said to Yin Yichen, "You are such a person. If you want my life, just say it directly. You even let me try the case of the grain official. Are you talking about the case of the Pei family? I am really going to die. You want my life now."

"How could that be? Our Dali Temple Minister, such a powerful person, naturally has to try cases that others cannot try." Yin Yichen chuckled and said slowly, "Just think about it, if you try this case, you will be successful and famous."

"Don't talk nonsense here. I'm telling you, if you keep talking nonsense and ask me to judge this kind of case, I'll fight you. What if this matter gets reported to the emperor? How will I live in the future? Will my head fall to the ground?" Qian Xingyu looked sad, but still said, "You little servant came here specifically to kill me."

Yin Yichen looked at Qian Xingyu and immediately said, "You tried this case, and I will definitely remember this favor from you in the future."

Qian Xingyu knew that Yin Yichen was sincere in doing this, so he agreed immediately and said to Yin Yichen, "I trust you this time and will help you this time. I bet that you, a thousand-year-old fox, can win this game."

Yin Yichen smiled faintly and said to Qian Xingyu, "Well, quickly order someone to pull Pei Xuanzhi and Pei Xu out of the prison, interrogate them thoroughly, and close this case."

Seeing this, Qian Xingyu said to the people around him, "Hurry up and bring all the people here. For a case like this, it is legitimate for me, the Dali Temple, to intervene in the case in the capital."

When Qian Xingyu's subordinates saw this, they immediately went out to pick up the person.

Yin Yichen looked at Qian Xingyu and said slowly, "This case can only be tried by the Dali Temple Minister in the whole world."

Soon, Pei Xuanzhi and Pei Xu were taken to the Dali Temple one by one. Pei Xuanzhi was not seriously injured because he had informed them in advance, but his hair was a little messy. Pei Xu, on the other hand, looked more embarrassed than Pei Xuanzhi.

Because the matter had previously been examined by the Liangdao as an exception, Gu Jie from the Liangdao was also invited.

Gu Jie's face darkened as soon as he entered the room. He said to the Dali Temple official who was sitting above him, "Qian Xingyu, didn't you say before that this matter would be fully handed over to this governor to judge? Why did you bring these people to the Dali Temple again today? Are you really not giving this governor face?"

"Governor, please calm down. It's because the Prime Minister said that this is a big case and the Dali Temple should be involved. That's why the Dali Temple took over the case." Qian Xingyu smiled with a flattering look on his face.

When Gu Jie heard this, he glanced at Yin Yichen on the other side. Seeing Yin Yichen sitting on the chair with a calm face, he immediately mocked, "I have heard that the Prime Minister's wife and the young master of the Pei family have a past, but I didn't know that the Prime Minister would come to the Dali Temple to bend the law for personal gain just to win a beautiful woman's smile."

Seeing this, Yin Yichen immediately said to Gu Jie, "If the governor accepts this, he is really judging others by his own mean heart. I, Yin Yichen, have always been upright in doing things, but Governor Gu privately interrogated the case that should have been tried by the Dali Temple, arrested people without asking any questions, and arbitrarily executed the officials' families. The governor's behavior is not something a high-ranking official of the court would do."

When Gu Jie heard Yin Yichen say this, he retorted with a cold face, "I always do things with evidence. The Pei family used their connections in the grain department to let their relatives in the grain department embezzle money and bend the law for personal gain. The evidence is irrefutable and the crime is unforgivable. Here is the signature and seal of the villain Pei Xu. The Dali Temple official can tell the truth from the falsehood after taking a look."

Yin Yichen just smiled after hearing this and said, "I don't think it's because Pei Xu really did something wrong. Maybe it's because of the severe torture by Governor Gu that made Pei Xu confess his guilt. Governor Gu has just arrived at the grain department, and I'm afraid he is not as good as the Dali Temple Minister in hearing cases. It might be a good idea to let the Dali Temple Minister try this matter to find out what's going on."

Gu Jie's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he sneered, "Since the Prime Minister said so, there is nothing wrong with the trial. But if the trial results are the same as what I have found, the Prime Minister must apologize."

Yin Yichen looked at Gu Jie and said slowly, "Of course. If the trial result is really as Governor Gu said, then I will naturally give the Governor an explanation."

Seeing this, Gu Jie said nothing else, just sat on a chair beside him and said to Qian Xingyu, "Since that's the case, the Dali Temple Minister should start the trial."

Qian Xingyu saw that the two men had already broken out in a thin layer of sweat from the fight, so he could only pretend nothing had happened and start trying the case.

Qian Xingyu glanced at Pei Xu who was kneeling on the ground, and immediately said, "Bold Pei Xu, you are an official appointed by the court, but you abuse your position for personal gain. Do you know your crime?"

Pei Xu raised his head, looked at Qian Xingyu above him, and said timidly, "I plead guilty. I am an official appointed by the court, but I did such a thing of partiality and perverting the law. My crime is really great. I plead guilty."

Seeing this, Gu Jie said to Yin Yichen, "I said, look, isn't it the case?"

Qian Xingyu, the superior, continued to ask, "I want to ask you, you said that all the things you did outside were instructed by Pei Xuanzhi of Pei Mansion, is this true?"

"No, I did this myself because I was afraid that my nonsense would implicate Pei Xuanzhi. I couldn't bear the punishment in prison before, so I spoke wildly. Now I dare to speak out here." Pei Xu lowered his head and said slowly, "Every word I said is true, please understand."

As soon as Pei Xu said this, Gu Jie's expression changed immediately.
