Episode 19
Pei Yan was convinced that Jiang Ci was hiding in Wei Zhao's residence. Unexpectedly, after searching to no avail, he was angered by Wei Zhao's indifferent attitude.The confrontation between the two was like hot lava colliding with an iceberg, and it was about to break out.Yi Fei, Tong Min and others were nearby, and their positions were clear, and arguments broke out one after another.At this time, An Cheng took advantage of the opportunity to sneak in, but also found nothing. Wei Zhao became furious and forcibly dispersed Pei Yan and his party.
Wei Zhao knew that if Pei Yan revealed his identity, years of planning would come to nothing, so he was particularly concerned about Jiang Ci's safety.He secretly ordered Yi Fei to find He Zhenwen, intending to use evidence to balance Pei Yan.And Jiang Ci, who witnessed all this from the rafters, couldn't help but show up, but accidentally fell into Wei Zhao's arms. The two looked at each other, both embarrassed.
Pei Yan was unwilling to fail and placed heavy surveillance outside Wei Zhao's residence. At the same time, he secretly sent Cui Liang to escort Jiang Ci out of the city.Cui Liang's actions deepened Pei Yan's doubts, and he banned him from Changfengwu.Pei Yan was well aware of the seriousness of the loss of evidence, so he strengthened monitoring of He Zhenwen to prevent the account books from falling into the hands of Wei Zhao.
Jiang Ci returned the secret arrow to Wei Zhao and expressed his intention to leave.Wei Zhao understood Pei Yan's plan, gave the man clothes and promised to help him get out of trouble.The two of them were in the same room, and the sadness of separation came to their hearts, both of them reluctant to leave.
He Zhenwen was imprisoned and vowed to repay the blood debt of the Pei family.Pei Yan rushed for the account books, but was repeatedly obstructed, and in the end only part of them was recovered.Wei Zhao relied on Yi Fei's power to obtain another key account book and used it as a bargaining chip against the Pei family.He wrote a secret letter to Emperor Xie Che, exposing the scandal in the foundry department, but did not mention the man behind it.
When Xie Che received the report, suspicions arose and the sword was pointed at the Pei family.Pei Yan was forced to return to Beijing to save his mother, while Wei Zhao took the opportunity to send Jiang Ci to Yuzhou Island and prepare for the election for the leader of Yueluo City.Jiang Ci was eagerly looking forward to a reunion arranged by Wei Zhao on Yuzhou Island, and felt mixed emotions in her heart.
