"The official knows what to do, please rest assured."

Pei Xingjian looked respectful and accompanied a beautifully dressed man out of the county government gate.

From afar, Di Renjie and his servant were coming hurriedly. Pei Xingjian clearly saw the two of them, but pretended not to see them. He respectfully sent the man in the gorgeous clothes to the carriage outside the county government gate. He kept watching the carriage go away before he let out a long sigh and turned around.

"Second brother, who is that person?"

"The people from Zongzhengji."

"ah?"

When Di Renjie heard this, he was startled and blurted out: "Why did Zongzheng Temple come so soon?"

"Let's talk about it when you go in."

Pei Xingjian looked at both sides and said in a deep voice.

He turned around and walked into the county government, and Di Renjie and the others followed him.

The three of them came to the study outside the Houya. Di Renjie ordered Hong Liang to guard outside. He and Pei Xingjian walked into the house.

"In May, Your Majesty will come to Chongsheng Temple to burn incense and worship the late emperor."

"ah?"

“After I received the news, I sent someone to report it to Zongzhengji.

Zongzheng Temple reacted very quickly this time. He just sent someone to tell me that the case should be settled as soon as possible. In May, it will be the first year of the death of the late emperor. Your Majesty decided to come to Chongsheng Temple to worship the late emperor. During this period, there will be no more accidents."

When Di Renjie heard the news, he was shocked.

“When did you decide?”

"His Majesty had made up his mind half a month ago."

"That……"

"Huaiying, I heard that you were involved in this case just now?"

"Um?"

"Why, as far as I know, you have nothing to do with the people in Lingbao Temple."

Di Renjie hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Master Mingkong is kind to me, and I don't believe that she will be the murderer."

"Can there be evidence?"

"this……"

Di Renjie pondered for a moment and said, "Just now, I investigated the scene in Lingbao Temple."

"how?"

"It is precisely because of this that I am sure that Master Mingkong was wronged."

"so……"

"Um!"

The conversation between Di Renjie and Pei Xingjian sounded like a fog.

However, both of them knew very well what the other person meant.

"Huaiying, you have to think clearly that this matter involves the Tian family. There is no trivial matter in the Tian family. If you cannot provide enough evidence, even you will be involved."

"I know."

"That……"

Pei Xingjian heard the decisive meaning from Di Renjie's words.

He walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and after a long time he sighed, "I really don't know whether I should agree to you. But I also know that even if I don't agree to you, you will continue to investigate, right? Even if you lose your life."

"yes!"

"Haha, I knew that's the case."

Pei Xingjian sat down, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I don't know why you were involved in this case, but I believe that you must have your reasons. In this way, I can promise you, but I also want to tell you that the county government can give you very little help.

Zongzheng Temple means: big things turn into small things.

The case is settled as soon as possible and the Heavenly Family’s worship cannot be delayed.

Therefore, everything depends on yourself. Whether you can investigate clearly depends on your ability. Do you understand?"

"I see."

Seeing that Di Renjie was firm, Pei Xingjian stopped persuading him.

He stood up, walked to Di Renjie, and patted Di Renjie on the shoulder hard.

"I can't give it to you in three yamen runners, but you can call it at will.

Jiang Maha, you should also know him. If you have any questions, you can find them directly. I believe that guy will definitely help you.

By the way, that Su Dawei is back?"

"not yet."

"Okay, then take care of yourself."

"Thank you, second brother."

After leaving the county government study, Di Renjie didn't feel relaxed.

On the contrary, an unprecedented pressure made him a little nervous.

But the more this happens, the more excited he is.

He knew that he could help Mingkong, and he didn't think too much about other things.

"Zhou Liang!"

When leaving the county government office, Di Renjie met with Zhou Liang, who had just returned from outside and was covered in sweat.

Zhou Liang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Di Langjun, why are you here? But is there any news about Ami?"

"Ami, there is no news yet."

A hint of concern flashed in Zhou Liang's eyes.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Ami has been leaving for half a month. If she doesn't come back, the eldest lady is afraid she will be anxious."

"It should be soon, you don't have to worry.

He was helping under the Duke of Danyang County. With the character of Duke of Danyang County, he would not be detrimental to him. I think he will come back soon."

"I hope so."

Zhou Liang nodded and said, "If Mr. Lang has nothing to do, then I will say goodbye first."

"Zhou Liang, please wait."

"Is there anything else that Mr. Lang?"

Di Renjie hesitated for a moment, pulled Zhou Liang to a small road next to the county government, and whispered: "I want to ask you to do me a favor."

“What’s the busy thing?”

"I want to go to Chang'an Prison and meet someone."

Zhou Liang was stunned and said with a smile: "Don't joke, gentleman, if you want to go to Chang'an Prison, just tell the county lord, why do you need to find me?"

"Mr. County, you can't come forward."

When Zhou Liang heard this, his face changed suddenly.

"Mr., who are you going to meet?"

"Lingbao Temple, Master Mingkong."

"Master Mingkong?" Zhou Liang heard this and showed a look of confusion and said, "Master Mingkong is not in the temple? Why are he in Chang'an Prison?"

"Don't you know?"

"What do you know?"

Zhou Liang still said with a confused look on his face: "I haven't been in the county government these days, I've been doing business outside. I really don't know what happened. Of course, Master Mingkong, I know, but... how could she be in Chang'an Prison?"

"She, murdered!"

"What?"

"Of course, she is likely to be framed."

Di Renjie immediately lowered his voice and told Zhou Liang the whole story.

Zhou Liang's face became more and more serious, and he whispered: "Mr., I am not unwilling to help."

But this involves Zongzheng Temple, and I am not sure. However, the master has saved Ami's life. If Ami is not here, I will naturally not sit idly by. Why not do this? I will first ask about the situation. If there is any news, I will notify you. What? You also know that the rules in Chang'an Prison are quite large, and I also need time to deal with it."

As Su Dawei and Niang Liu said, Zhou Liang is a versatile person.

He did not refuse at once, which means he had a way out.
