Chapter 208 Statement of Innocence
Pei Qinglin immediately handed over his hand: "Brother, please tell me, if I can help you do it, Pei will never refuse."
Xiangying recalled the South Vietnamese customs she saw while browsing the books in the space when she had nothing to do.
In South Vietnam, officials of third rank or above can write a "notice of innocence."
Any prisoner who can obtain a "Notice of Innocence" can receive amnesty as long as it is not a serious crime that offends the royal family.
But an official only has one chance to write a "not guilty plea."
Generally speaking, giving a "notification of innocence" is equivalent to protecting the prisoner in one's own name.
It will not be given unless absolutely necessary.
Xiangying looked into Pei Qinglin's eyes and said quietly: "I hope the general can write a 'not guilty letter' to me."
Pei Qinglin was startled.
The soldier beside him frowned: "You are so unruly, aren't you taking advantage of the situation?"
Pei Qinglin said in a deep voice: "Brother, who do you want to offend by asking for this?"
His suspicious eyes flickered on Xiangying and Qi Fengyi.
Apparently they suspected who among them was the culprit?
But Pei Qinglin must have never imagined that they were all prisoners of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Xiang Ying's tone was calm and unhurried: "If you get the thing, I will naturally use it. Please forgive me for not telling General Pei the use."
"Of course, General Pei can also choose to refuse. After all, you can ask other people for help. I, an ordinary citizen, am not worth the risk you take."
"But General Pei has no better choice besides me, because you lost the princess. If you don't find the princess this time, you will be the sinners who destroyed the diplomatic relations between the two countries. I believe it is precisely because of this that General Pei Instead of telling the imperial court in Beijing, you want to find someone to rescue Princess Xining yourself, right?”
Pei Qinglin's eyes flashed with darkness.
The gentle and gentle aura on his body disappeared, replaced by a sharp and dangerous one.
Xiangying allowed him to look at her, her eyes meeting his without fear.
After a long while, Pei Qinglin said: "Brother is very smart and his guess is good. It's just that the 'notice of innocence' is too costly. I need to consider it."
Xiang Ying raised her lips and smiled: "Is it the 'innocence document' that costs more, or the fact that the general cannot find Princess Xining and implicates the whole family and is punished?"
"The crime of yours ranges from confiscating your home and being exiled, to having your entire family beheaded. Doesn't General Pei think about the people in your family? You are taking risks anyway, so why not choose the safest way?"
Pei Qinglin was silent.
The people next to him clenched their fists and stared at Xiangying with angry eyes.
"General, let's not deal with such a treacherous person. It's not like we can't do it without her. There is a martial arts gym in the town, and we can also hire some martial arts masters to help us."
Qi Fengyi slapped the table: "Stop your mouth, who is the treacherous person? You asked us to help catch the gangsters. This is very dangerous in the first place, and the conditions we offer are not excessive."
Xiangying raised his eyebrows and stood up: "General Pei, I will leave before noon today. You can think carefully before looking for me."
After that, she took Qi Fengyi upstairs.
However, as soon as he stepped onto the wooden stairs, he heard Pei Qinglin's voice coming from behind.
"I promise you that I will give you a 'Notice of Innocence'."
Xiangying turned around, a dark smile filling her eyes.
She walked back to the table: "General, you agree? Then I'll go find some paper and pen, and you can write it in front of me."
Pei Qinglin said wait a minute.
"Brother, to be honest, I wrote a 'not guilty statement' to others two years ago."
Xiangying and Qi Fengyi both frowned.
Xiangying's voice turned cold: "If the general can't meet this condition, then let's not discuss it."
Pei Qinglin said hurriedly: "Brother, don't worry. Although I can't write, my father and brother are all highly respected officials. After this matter is over, I will immediately write a letter and have people rush back to the capital. After getting the innocence letter, I How about leaving again? "
Xiangying's thoughtful eyes stared at his sincere face.
This Pei Qinglin is not stupid at all.
I'm afraid it's not that he can't write a confession of innocence, but that he found a reason to delay.
He was afraid that Xiangying would run away after getting the things, so he was guarding against her.
Xiangying turned his eyes to a soldier beside him.
"General, write now and ask this soldier to be sent back to the capital immediately. When we finish handling the matter, he should be back." Pei Qinglin was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
The soldier was angry: "Our general has great prestige, how can we still deceive you?"
Xiangying folded her arms and looked out the door, as if she wanted to stop talking if she didn't agree.
Pei Qinglin finally agreed to give in.
He told the soldiers: "Go behind the counter and get a pen and paper."
"General!"
"Go quickly." Pei Qinglin urged.
The soldiers could only reluctantly bring paper and pen. Xiang Ying watched Pei Qinglin write a letter home. After confirming that the content was correct, the soldiers took the letter and left the inn and rushed back to the capital.
Watching his leaving figure, Pei Qinglin said to Xiang Ying: "Now we have one less person. I wonder how sure brother is that we can find those ruthless bandits?"
Xiangying was quite satisfied. She stood up and said, "I can do it by myself."
Pei Qinglin was secretly surprised.
How could someone be so arrogant?
Xiangying immediately gave the plan: "General, tell your people to clean up. We are going to Baicheng now."
Looking at her figure going upstairs, her slender waist can be seen in the loose clothes.
How could a man be so thin?
But Pei Qinglin had seen Xiangying kill people, and if she hadn't been so fierce with every move and had the momentum to fight one against a hundred, he wouldn't have asked her for help.
"Brother," Pei Qinglin called to her, "I still don't know what your name is?"
Xiangying paused and turned around: "Wang Ying."
This is the pet name given to her by her cartoon villain.
Return to the room.
Taoxue and the others are still sleeping.
Qi Fengyi lowered his voice: "Your Highness, do we really want to go with them to catch the gangsters?"
Doesn’t this run counter to Xiangying’s original intention?
She only knew that the eldest princess must go to the capital to avenge the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Xiangying packed her things and said: "Catching gangsters is just a matter of convenience. What I want is a letter of innocence."
Qi Fengyi sighed: "Even if there is an innocent letter, we are prisoners of the Western Zhou Dynasty, so the innocent letter should be useless."
Xiangying patted her shoulder: "It's useless now. It will be useful after we save Princess Xining."
Qi Fengyi looked at her in confusion, but Xiangying didn't explain any more.
It was already dawn, and Taoxue got up with the children. Taoxue was a little nervous when she learned that she and Pei Qinglin were going to catch the gangsters.
The three children were very excited.
Xiang Yuanlang looked at his little hands: "Finally I have a chance to test my ability."
He has been practicing for so long and still doesn't know how effective it will be.
Xiangying took out the prepared bowls of fresh meat wontons and paired them with a boiled egg for each person.
The three little ones chatted and chatted excitedly while eating.
Xiangying said: "You guys eat first, and I'll catch up on my sleep."
She lay down and seemed to be asleep, but in fact she entered the space.
The gangsters are hiding in the vast mountains, and Xiangying has no idea of locating them. How easy is it to catch them?
Fortunately, the barter-for-barter system in her space is very high-tech.
Xiangying noticed last time that the invisible drone she replaced had a function.
As long as the satellite can be connected, thermal imaging can cover a certain area.
Looking down from the sky, it is easy to find where the gangsters are through thermal imaging.
Xiangying opened the barter system and took a look at the price of the satellite.
Her eyes darkened.
