After Xu Xing reported the matter of Baiyun Mountain to the emperor, the emperor immediately sent people from the Military Affairs Department to take over Shuntian Prefecture.

Pei Jun felt relieved. After calling back his men, he hurriedly carried several corpses from the Jiang Mansion back to Shuntian Prefecture.

He didn't have to worry about catching and suppressing bandits, but there were still many things that concerned him.

After he returned to Shuntian Prefecture, he packed up in a hurry, not caring about his hunger, and immediately went into the palace to meet the emperor.

The bandits had been escorted to the Shuntian Prefecture prison. After Pei Jun returned from his visit to the emperor, he immediately interrogated the boss.

However, he knew nothing about anything.

The information Pei Jun received was not like this, but the bandit refused to speak, and several lives were involved, so he had no choice but to punish him severely.

But half of my life is gone, and I still haven't gotten any useful information.

Someone gave him one hundred taels of silver and asked him to ambush in Baiyun Mountain and kidnap the county lady. If he succeeded, he would be given another two hundred taels of silver.

These bandits have killed people, but this time they don’t have to kill anyone and can earn three hundred taels of silver. Why not do it?

They have killed many black-hearted wealthy people, and now they are just kidnapping some county princess. But when they hear the name "county princess", they think she is a young lady from a wealthy family and that she is not a good person.

Therefore, they take money from others to help them get rid of disasters. They don't ask what others want to do, they just do the job as long as they are given money.

Even the boss didn't know who gave him the silver, let alone the others.

Pei Jun told Xu Xing, who was waiting at the government office, the result of the interrogation: "Sir, the torture was carried out, but basically no useful information was obtained."

"They wanted to destroy me and let you see me..."

After listening to Pei Jun's words, Xu Xing's mind flashed back to what Jiang Hao said to him last night.

Is it possible...

Is it really as Jiang Hao said?

But over the years, there have been many people who wanted to marry into the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion, and there have been even more in the past two years. It will take some time to start with these people.

But at least there is a direction.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Master Pei. Goodbye!"

"Your Majesty, walk slowly."

Upon hearing this, Pei Jun immediately stood up to see him off.

Even if we ignore the relationship between the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion and Concubine Shu and the Seventh Prince, just looking at the Crown Prince himself, he is definitely the leader of this generation of young talents in Kyoto.

Such a rare talent just happened to be given to Princess Jiahe!

Pei Jun thought of his daughter who still had no one to settle down with, and sighed inwardly.

……

After Chen Chuan returned to the city, he was taken back by the Chen family.

Without even seeing his grandfather, he was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall and confess his mistakes in front of his ancestors.

As for his desire to defend himself, he could only swallow his words back.

Not to mention his grandfather and his father, even his mother looked at him with disappointment.

Pei Ying heard that Chen Chuan had returned and hurried over.

However, after looking at the gate of Chen's mansion for a long time, she did not get off the car and asked the driver to go back to the mansion.

Between her and Chen Chuan, she had always been the one chasing after Chen Chuan, and she had no idea how many times she had been laughed at for Chen Chuan's repeated escapes.

What is there about Chen Chuan that is worthy of her like this?

Just because of an arranged marriage?

She is tired!

Although Pei Ying was sad, she made a choice at this moment.

When Mrs. Chen heard the servant's report, she was stunned at first, and then she started cursing.

But the one being scolded was Chen Chuan for not knowing what was good for him!

Since Pei Ying refused to marry into the family, I'm afraid the fate between her and the third son has come to an end.

"Prepare a gift list, and when the Xiao family receives news, send the gifts to Miss Xiao. It will be regarded as the rebellious son's apology to her for delaying her for so many years."

Chen Chuan in the ancestral hall suddenly felt his right eyelid twitch and began to panic...
