Chapter 257 Fifth Highness
Pei Yi had a faint guess in her heart, and said calmly: "Ask him about his background. If this person is messing around, you can drive directly, Uncle Zhong, and ignore him."
Li Zhong got the order, and said to the middle-aged man who stopped in front of the car: "Who are you?"
Pei Yi was sitting in the car, and heard the man reply: "I'm Li Ruizhi, the former county magistrate of Linhe County, now I'm asking to see Mr. Pei!"
Li Ruizhi?
Isn't this the county magistrate Li who opposed her before, but now he calls himself the "former" county magistrate of Linhe County?
It seems that he has lost his official position, right?
It's ridiculous to think of coming to her when you're down and out.
Pei Yi said coolly: "Uncle Zhong, let's go."
Outside the car, Li Ruizhi saw the groom whipping the horse and was about to leave. He immediately squatted down and knelt down on the ground, crying, "Master, please spare me!"
Pei Yi didn't even look outside, Leng Sheng ordered: "Uncle Zhong, hurry up."
Li Zhongnai was born in the army, and his ability to control horses is first-rate.
The horse raised its hooves high and jumped directly over the head of Li Ruizhi who was prostrate on the ground.
Li Ruizhi only felt a huge shadow suddenly covering him.
When the shadow dissipated, his expression was dull, his whole body was stiff, and he almost fainted from fright.
Scared him to death!
He just thought he was going to be run over by a carriage!
After a while, Li Ruizhi gradually regained his power of action.
But his legs and feet were still weak with fright.
After stumbling up from the ground, Li Ruizhi went back to the hotel room in a daze.
He was lying on the ground just now, his clothes were stained with dust and already dirty.
Li Ruizhi changed into clean clothes and went to Jingzhao Mansion with the silver.
His brother-in-law, Feng Wood, the former prefect of Qinghe County, has been imprisoned in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion. He has to go to his brother-in-law to discuss matters.
Li Ruizhi stuffed money into the cell boss, and only then did he have the opportunity to enter the cell.
But the prison chief told impatiently: "There is only one incense stick, so hurry up!"
Li Ruizhi nodded and bowed in response, and ran in without hesitation.
"How's the matter?" Von Wood asked eagerly in a low voice.
Li Ruizhi shook his head with a miserable face, and said with lingering fear: "I went to seek mercy from Mr. Pei today. Mr. Pei didn't see me, so he just drove away. I was almost killed by a carriage."
Von Wood gasped.
Only then did he realize that he had really hit the iron board.
He thought Pei Jiasanlang was a soft-hearted and cowardly trash, but this person was actually very hard-hearted.
Pei Xiangguo and the two young masters of the Pei family, he never dared to let his brother-in-law ask for it.
Everyone knows that with the protective temperament of the Pei family—as long as Pei Sanlang refuses to save people, Pei Xiangguo, Pei Shizi and others will definitely not rescue them.
"Brother-in-law, what do you think we should do about this?" Li Ruizhi said with a mournful face, "If you can't get out of danger, I'm afraid I'll be imprisoned in a few days."
Von Wood was also anxious.
Since Pei Yi is unkind, he cannot be blamed for being unrighteous.
When he goes out, he will never die with Pei Yi for the rest of his life, and he will work together with the Bai family to bring down the Pei family.
"Brother-in-law, the Bai family is dying now." Li Ruizhi felt deeply that the future was bleak, and shook his head timidly and said: "You don't know what's going on outside in prison, and Bai Situ is now seriously injured to avoid seeing guests, and the old lady of the Bai family has also passed away. It's gone. The entire Bai family's family can't take care of themselves, so how can they take care of us?"
Von Wood was astonished.
He thought about it again, and said in a deep voice: "Then you go and ask the fifth prince to try. I heard people say that the relationship between the fifth prince and the Pei family is not good. The fifth prince knows that we are now at odds with the Pei family, so he will definitely be willing Help us."
In fact, Von Wood himself was not very sure of saying these words. But now there is really no other way, he can only let his brother-in-law try his best.
Li Ruizhi also felt that this matter was unreliable.
But the two of them are now at the end of their ropes, so they can only treat dead horses as living horse doctors.
As long as the fifth prince agrees to help them, they will definitely help the fifth prince deal with the Pei family.
That night, Li Ruizhi went to the door of the Fifth Prince's Mansion to ask for an audience.
The concierge replied: "It's getting late, my Highness has already rested."
Youdao means that the king of **** is easy to see, but the little devil is difficult to deal with.
The doorman of this wealthy and powerful family is the most difficult little devil. He seems to be of low status, but he firmly controls the power of passage.
How could Li Ruizhi not know the concierge's jargon.
He quickly took out the money to the porter, and said with a smile on his face: "Brother, I have something urgent to see the Fifth Prince. Can you accommodate me?"
The concierge has spent a lot of money, which is not light.
He gave Li Ruizhi a haughty look, and said domineeringly: "Then I'll go for you. However, I'm not sure if His Highness wants to see you."
"I understand, I understand." Li Ruizhi flattered, "Thank you, brother."
It's getting cold at night now.
Li Ruizhi rubbed his arms and waited in front of the mansion for a long time, feeling a little cold.
Study room.
"Your Highness, a gentleman named Li Ruizhi is begging to see you. He claims to be the former magistrate of Linhe County." The porter stood outside the vermilion lacquered mahogany door and reported respectfully.
In the study room, the fifth prince lay on the Arhat bed and inhaled Wushisan, with a vague expression on his face.
Wu Shi San is similar to modern poisons, it is very easy to cause hallucinations, if you take too much, you may be poisoned and die.
"A county magistrate, what the hell?" The fifth prince sneered in a trance, "Is he worthy to see this king?"
Xiao Ruoyun, who was standing aside, had a clear heart in her heart.
He bent down and reminded in a low voice: "Your Highness, this time we are going to deal with those officials from Linhe County vigorously. This Li Ruizhi is the magistrate of Linhe County that His Majesty just dismissed."
The Fifth Prince finally woke up.
He glanced at the person in front of Arhat's bed with a dazed look, raised his hand, nodded and said with a smile, "I know, this is the **** who bullied your sweetheart. Come on, beat that Li Ruizhi up." Don, chop off your hands and feet and feed them to the dogs!"
The Fifth Prince remembers, thanks to the Pei family Saburo who was fascinated by Xiao Ruoyun, they were able to reap such a big benefit this time.
Now he is following the matter of County Magistrate Li to clear up the court, which makes the emperor look at him with admiration.
After this matter is settled properly, he will report Pei Erlang's embezzlement of military pay to his father.
Hehe, when the time comes, he will make the Pei family shattered in one fell swoop, and the emperor will definitely praise him full of praise, and will definitely think that he is the best candidate for the heir apparent.
The fifth prince couldn't help laughing when he thought of this.
"Your Highness, I am really grateful for you venting your anger on me." Xiao Ruoyun reminded in a low voice, "But this person must not cause trouble in front of our Prince's Mansion."
