"Oh, Xiaohu." Pei Yun was about to board the car. He suddenly turned his head and pretended to be surprised and said, "I was too busy thinking about things just now that I didn't notice you. What, is something wrong?"

Qin Hu knew that he was pretending, but he did not expose him. Instead, he smiled and said, "Second uncle, there is indeed something going on. I don't know if it's convenient for us to talk about it."

"Get in the car." Pei Yun saw that he couldn't escape, so he called Qin Hu to get in the car.

In fact, Pei Yun is somewhat helpless now. On the one hand, he and Yu Shiji are not on the same page, but on the other hand, like Yu Shiji, he is obsessed with catering to the emperor.

Qin Hu often angered the emperor, so there might not be any initiative for him to help this time. He didn't want to wade into this muddy water, but Qin Hu was also very favored now, and he couldn't offend him. Besides, in this troubled world, people like Qin Hu

It is best not to offend such a person who has a lot of troops.

After Qin Hu got into the car, the driver and the guards escorted the two people forward.

Pei Yun rubbed his temples and said: "I have been in poor health recently. I often have headaches and lack of energy. I heard that the emperor's health is also not good. He often wakes up at night and shouts that there is a thief. Therefore, as ministers, we still have to let him live.

Just worry less."

Qin Hu knew that Pei Yun meant what he said to him, but he felt that Pei Yun's words were too nonsense. The emperor's biggest worry was the rebels. If the chaos was brought to order and the rebels were suppressed, his insomnia would disappear without treatment.

Healing is not as simple as covering one's ears and stealing the bell.

"Second uncle, can you please help me with Master Suwei's matter?"

Pei Yun was afraid of getting into trouble, so Qin Hu could only speed up the pace and point it out directly, because Su Wei's matter did not have much impact on the emperor.

Pei Yun lowered his eyes: "I am also very embarrassed about this matter. Su Wei is a key criminal designated by the emperor. If I don't kill him, I will violate the emperor's wishes."

Qin Hu was silent for a moment: "Second uncle, I don't think the emperor had any intention of killing Su Wei. The emperor was just angry at the time. After the anger subsides, he will definitely want to let him go."

"After all, Su Wei is a veteran of three dynasties and has watched the emperor grow up. So he asked me to meet him and make him admit that he was old and confused and remembered the wrong numbers. In this case, there is room for easing things. Then the second uncle only needs to

Leave him alive, and I will find a way for him to retire and return to his hometown, and enjoy his old age in peace."

"You also know that Su Dai and I have been close friends since childhood. Now that his old father is in jail and the family is about to suffer, I can't just stand by and watch."

Qin Hu had been talking for a long time, and Pei Yun had been listening, but what he was still thinking about was whether the emperor had any intention of killing Su Wei.

Seeing that he was silent, Qin Hu added: "If the emperor really wanted to kill Su Wei, he would have killed him right then and there and would not have handed it over to his second uncle for trial. The emperor might be waiting for Su Wei to change his attitude."

Pei Yun felt that it would not be good for Qin Hu to refute his face for what he said, and what he said made sense, so he said: "Well, the key depends on Su Wei's attitude. You

Go and see him in prison and tell him not to be too stubborn, otherwise no one can save him."

Qin Hu nodded, hurriedly asked the driver to stop, and then said goodbye to Pei Yun.

Qin Hu's carriage followed Pei Yun's carriage all the time. After getting off the carriage, he directly got into his own carriage and said, "Go to the Dali Temple Prison."

Su Wei was sitting on the grass of the prison with disheveled hair, staring blankly at the corridor outside through the wooden cage. He knew that he would not survive. He would die if he died at this old age. He had nothing to regret.

But it’s so painful. And what will his big family do?

Pei Yun had interrogated him several times, telling him openly and secretly that he would not survive and asked him to confess quickly and save his family.

But Su Wei is also a man of spirit. He has experienced three dynasties and is used to the intrigues and dehumanization in the court. This Pei Yun has always been treacherous and an ancestor who caused harm to people. His words must not be easily believed.

In particular, Su Wei once chaired the Criminal Department and was very experienced in investigating cases in prisons, so he just refused to speak or admit it. Pei Yun returned without success several times.

Officials from Dali Temple took turns acting as lobbyists for Pei Yun. He still adhered to the bottom line and refused to let go, but he didn't know how long he could hold on.

At this time, footsteps were heard in the distance. After a while, the cell leader opened the cell door with the key and respectfully let in a young man dressed in gorgeous clothes.

Su Wei didn't even raise his head to look at him. He only saw the official boots on his feet and let out a cold snort in his nose. You were not even born when I was playing in the officialdom.

The cell leader said respectfully: "Master Qin Hou, I will leave first."

"Take it for tea." Qin Hu threw a silver coin over, and the prison boss quickly nodded and ran out.

Su Wei then raised his head. He did not expect that Qin Hu would be the lobbyist this time, but it was no wonder, Qin Hu was originally an accomplice of the Pei family.

"Uncle Su." Qin Hu hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted: "You have suffered a lot. I just returned to Luoyang and heard about you, so I came here to visit you today."

Su Wei showed a fox-like smile, squinted his eyes and said, "You want me to plead guilty so that I can go to the emperor to receive merit, but I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."

"Uncle Su, you misunderstood me. I'm here to save you."

"Pei Yun also said he came to save me. All the lackeys said so. But after all, I eat more salt than you eat rice. You can't lie to me."

Qin Hu expected that Su Wei, an old fox who had been in official circles all his life, had already gained insight into human nature and would never trust him easily, so he was not in a hurry.

"I have a plan. If the boss is willing to cooperate, you will be released from prison soon. But I am definitely not asking you to plead guilty. You can think about it yourself if I tell you."

"You'd better write a letter to apologize to the emperor, saying that you are nearly eighty years old, confused, and misremembered the number of rebels. I will forward it on your behalf and save you no matter what. Moreover, this letter

I won’t hand it over to Dali Temple, I will send it directly to the emperor, how about it?”

"This -" This method is a good second best, but the premise is that Qin Hu must be a trustworthy person. If what he says is all false, Su Wei's whole family will be in danger. Who knows the Pei family

What kind of trap was laid for him?

"I can't prove to Uncle Su whether I'm here to save people or to harm them. Everything depends on Uncle Su's own experience and experience. You are a roly-poly in the officialdom. You can't even tell the difference between good and bad people.

And there is no need for me to frame you, I do not lack merit, and I will never smear my face."

"You should know all of this."
