I married the wrong man, and I sent him and his whole family to be executed.

"This is Princess Pingle, and I am the imperial guard beside His Majesty. According to the system, we have the right to enter and listen in."

Yes, they only have the right to attend the trial and do not have the right to handle the case, but attending the trial is enough.

"It turns out to be the princess and Lord Yu, please come in." The soldier recognized that it was a jade pendant from the palace and hurriedly let them in.

In this way, Yu Wangfei and Yu Wangfeng successfully entered the Dali Temple.

At this time, Xiaoping had already told the Dali Temple Minister the story between her and Pei Chengzhong.

Yu Wangfei looked at the woman kneeling in front of the hall. Although she was proud and unyielding, her eyes were filled with melancholy, and she even seemed to have thoughts of committing suicide.

At the same time, Yu Wangfei could also tell from Xiaoping's dress that she used to be a very beautiful and lively girl. He really didn't know how much hurt she had suffered to become what she is now.

"What do you think he meant by buying an official position?" The Dali Temple Minister seized the key words and took the opportunity to investigate.

As His Majesty's man, he would not consider any of the princes at all, but if buying an official position was involved, it would shake the official selection system of the Great Chu. As an official of the Great Chu, he would certainly do his best to investigate.

"I know Pei Chengzhong's ability. I have been with him for many years, and he has not produced any masterpieces, nor does he have any talent. However, he always wants to serve as an official in the court." Xiaoping said, with sadness and resentment that could not be concealed on her face.

"Later, Pei Chengzhong told me that he had thought of a way to buy an official position with silver. So I earned a lot of silver and gave it to him, but it was far from enough."

"Until one day he suddenly told me that his father and mother had found a way for him, and since then he has been working in the Ministry of Personnel as a minor official. So I suspect that he bought his position, because with his talent and knowledge, it is absolutely impossible for him to pass the imperial examination!"

Everything she said was true, but unfortunately Xiaoping had no evidence that Pei Chengzhong had bought the official position.

"I have accepted your petition." The Dali Temple waved his hand, and the soldier immediately stepped forward to take Xiaoping's petition and handed it over.

Yu Wangfei, who was standing aside, was also moved after hearing Xiaoping's story. She was another pitiful person who lost herself for a man.

"Someone, go and bring Lord Pei here." The Dali Temple Minister said.

At this time, the Dali Temple Minister saw Yu Wangfei standing aside, so he took the initiative to have two stools brought over and asked the two of them to sit down and wait.

Although he felt a little uncomfortable with the princess and the imperial guards listening to his trial, there was nothing in the laws of the Great Chu that forbade the princess to sit in, so he let Yu Wangfei go.

About half an hour later, the soldiers from the Dali Temple brought Pei Chengzhong in. At this time, the people surrounding the Dali Temple suddenly became interested and began to speculate whether what Xiaoping said was true.

"Master Pei." The Dali Temple official first greeted him politely, then said, "This woman is suing you for insulting a decent woman and abandoning your wife. What do you have to say?"

Pei Chengzhong smiled and shook his head, then looked at Xiao Ping who was kneeling on the ground and said disdainfully: "I don't recognize this woman at all."

At this time, Xiaoping was obviously exhausted due to kneeling for a long time. Although Chu Yuheng left some money for her to buy some tonic medicine to replenish her body, her body had already been at the end of its strength and no medicine could cure it.

When Yu Wangfei saw beads of sweat suddenly appear on Xiaoping's forehead, he knew that she could not hold on any longer, so he took the initiative to stand up and walked to Xiaoping's side.

"Sir, I see that this woman seems a little weak. Why don't you bring a chair over?"

"Okay." The Dali Temple Minister waved his hand and asked someone to bring up another chair.

Yu Wangfei took the opportunity to take out a pill from his waist, put it into Xiaoping's mouth, and signaled her to swallow it with his eyes.

This pill is a good medicine that can replenish physical strength. Although she doesn't know whether Xiaoping is sick, this pill is enough to support her sitting in this lobby.

"I am the eldest son of the Pei family. I am always followed by servants, and my friends are all from aristocratic families. Besides, I never go to the slums, so how could I get to know a poor man? Miss, you may have recognized the wrong person." Pei Chengzhong curled his lips and looked at Xiaoping jokingly.

Upon hearing this, there was a commotion among the crowd.

"Yes, Pei Chengzhong is the eldest son of the Pei family. The Pei family is a family of three dynasties and aristocrats. How could they be entangled with a woman from a poor family? I'm afraid he has recognized the wrong person."

"It's you, Pei Chengzhong. Even if you turn into ashes, I will not admit my mistake!" Xiaoping bit her lips angrily and stared at Pei Chengzhong, wishing she could go up to him and tear off his hypocritical face with her own hands.

"Young lady, please don't talk nonsense. I don't know you." Pei Chengzhong curled his lips in disdain and said, "The lowest-ranking maid in my house has a better family background than you. How could I possibly know you?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ping vaguely recalled the scene when she ran to Pei's house to look for Pei Chengzhong but was verbally abused and driven out of the house. Could it be that someone born in a slum could be played around with by others?

"You said I bullied decent women and abandoned my wife. Do you have any evidence?" Pei Chengzhong said with a smile. "As everyone knows, I, Pei Chengzhong, am not married now. There is no marriage document of mine in my official uniform. If you have evidence, such as a marriage certificate, feel free to show it to me."

Xiao Ping clenched her hands and looked at him unwillingly: "I have no evidence. You didn't sign a marriage contract with me at the beginning. You said you would wait until you passed the imperial examination and became an official before signing a marriage contract with me..."

She hated herself for believing Pei Chengzhong's words and handing herself over like that.

"Everyone heard it, right?" Pei Chengzhong said with a smile, then turned to look at Xiao Ping teasingly, "Who asked the girl to wrongly accuse me?"

"You are shameless!" Xiaoping cursed.

Suddenly Xiao Ping remembered Chu Yuheng's instructions, and she turned her eyes away from Pei Chengzhong and looked at the Dali Temple: "Sir, I reported Pei Chengzhong for buying an official position. He told me that his family bought him an official position. If you check, you will definitely find it out!"

Anything done will leave traces, and as long as the Dali Temple investigates, Pei Chengzhong will definitely be found out.

"Ridiculous!" Pei Chengzhong smiled speechlessly, "I am the eldest son of the Pei family, and I have the same master as the current prince. How could I buy an official position?"

"Do you have any evidence?" asked the Dali Temple Minister.

As long as Xiaoping can produce evidence, he will definitely investigate it thoroughly.

"Yes." Xiao Ping nodded and took out the essay Pei Chengzhong had written before and presented it to him. "This is the essay Pei Chengzhong had written before. It is not written by the same person as the essay he wrote in the exam room."

Pei Chengzhong's articles are crude and straightforward, while the articles that made him famous are tactful and implicit, and it is obvious that they were not written by the same person.
