Traveling through ancient times: starting with live streaming

Hu Wan was probably used to it, and she didn't even feel aggrieved.

Zhou Chang originally just wanted to gloat over the misfortune, but now he had to show the spirit of "spectators" and asked proactively: "What exactly happened?"

Hu Lai didn't dare to make up any more lies in front of Pei Li, and hesitated, "Several suspects were detained in the prison yesterday. According to the regulations, they could be beaten with a killing stick first, but who knew that there was a woman who couldn't stand the beating. She fainted after a few beatings and finally died in prison."

"Was she beaten to death? The killing stick can kill people. Are those prison guards in the Ministry of Justice so shameless?" Pei Li was so angry that his beard flew all over his chest.

Hu Lai just kept mumbling: "I really didn't do anything to her. It's just that the woman looked dissatisfied and angry, so I used a little more torture. Who would have thought that she was so stubborn that she actually hit her head against the wall and committed suicide."

Zhou Chang understood that this was the same situation as when Hu Lai treated Manager Li.

A huge hatred suddenly surged in my heart.

Hu Lai was standing in the side hall, still unaware of what was happening, and was still trying to argue: "My lord, believe me, that woman really wanted to kill herself, we didn't do anything to her. If you don't believe me, you can ask Wu Chi, Xia Zhuo and the others."

"They," Pei Li snorted coldly, "the two of them have been beaten with forty sticks each by me and expelled. They will never be employed again."

"Ah..., this..." Hu Lai finally felt truly scared and asked Zhou Chang for help.

Zhou Chang just complained that forty sticks were not enough and that the two accomplices got away with it.

Pei Li pointed at Hu Lai and said, "You three have been in collusion with each other in the detention center for the past few years. I thought I didn't know. It was just a small matter in the past, so I didn't bother with you. This matter is not that simple. The Minister of War is also involved. Although the woman is suspected of being the accomplice of the bandits, she is also the servant of the Minister of War. How can you let her be abused and killed at will?"

"Oh," Hu Lai was so scared that he fell to his knees, "Sir, it's all a misunderstanding. We really didn't know. We were just following the procedure. It was just a little bit, maybe a little bit out of line, but we never really did anything to her. Who knew that the woman would commit suicide? Maybe she really had something to hide and was afraid that she would be asked about something later, so she..."

"Shut up, you're still trying to quibble at this time, you..." Pei Li was already very angry in front of the government office just now.

It’s not that he was afraid of the Minister of War. In fact, among those people just now, there were only relatives of the deceased, and the Minister of War’s office did not show up at all.

But the thing is that he was in the wrong on the Ministry of Justice side, the case hadn't even started yet, but the person was forced to death in the Ministry of Justice. Hu Lai always had such a "good" reputation, and he knew how many people cursed him behind his back because of his brother-in-law Hu Lai, which damaged his official reputation a lot. But this was the first time that he was insulted in the street like today and had to hide in the carriage and dared not show his head.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and Pei Li's face turned completely black.

Zhou Chang personally refilled Pei Li's cup of tea. When he got closer, he could see clearly that Pei Li's face had turned blue and he was really angry.

The angrier she is, the better, but it’s just that it may affect her future affairs.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Pei Li grab the teacup and was about to throw it out.

Zhou Chang held him down and snatched the teacup away: "My Lord, please don't get yourself hurt by being angry. Just do what needs to be done."

"What should we do?" Pei Li spoke sternly, but when he looked up at Zhou Chang, he was stunned.

"Hu Wan" looks different from before. If it were in the past, she would definitely act like a wronged and timid young wife, while Zhou Chang would be smiling.

Zhou Chang took Pei Li's teacup, turned around, and walked towards Hu Lai with the teacup and lid.

Hu Lai knelt in the middle of the ground without any remorse: "Sister, you have to help..."

"Bang--" Zhou Chang was so hateful that he smashed a teacup on Hu Lai's head.

"Click..."

"what……"

Zhou Chang looked down coldly, feeling somewhat regretful.

Unfortunately, Hu Wan's eyesight was poor and her hand misfired, so she hit Hu Lai's protruding left ear.

The teacups shattered onto the floor, and Hu Lai fell to the ground, with tea filling his ears.

Pei Li stood up in shock: "Madam..."

Hu Lai jumped up from the ground and was about to explode.

From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever dared to hit him like this, not even his parents, and certainly not Hu Wan.

Zhou Chang was filled with hatred and kicked Hu Lai again, but he winked at Hu Lai and said in a fake tone, "You beast, look at how much trouble you have caused. You have put me in such a difficult position."

Hu Zi boasted of his intelligence and understood the "torture trick" in a second. He rolled and crawled to Pei Li's feet, howling: "Brother-in-law, no, sir, sir, I was wrong, it's my fault, I was careless this time, but I beg brother-in-law to give me another chance... I will behave myself from now on."

Judging from what Hu Lai said, Pei Li should have dealt with Hu Lai in the Ministry of Justice today.

Hu Lai was not satisfied, so he came to ask Sister Ken for help.

Zhou Chang turned around slowly and said to Pei Li with an apologetic smile: "Sir, I was disrespectful just now. We will do what we have to do with this matter. Everything is up to you, sir."

Pei Li never took Hu Lai's attitude seriously, and he didn't believe that he could truly repent.

But what Zhou Chang had just done made him look at him with new eyes.

Normally, Hu Wan showed only gentleness and weakness in front of him, and only pleaded humbly when it came to her mother's family matters. She had never been as understanding and righteous as she was today.

"Madam, please sit down." Pei Li couldn't help stroking his beard, his attitude softened a lot, and his previous anger seemed to have dissipated a lot with the drink of tea.

"Sir, sir, for my sister's sake, please give me another chance." Hu Lai was good at seizing every opportunity. Seeing that Pei Li's attitude towards Hu Wan had softened, he was about to take the opportunity to climb up.

Pei Li didn't buy it, and kicked Hu Lai away: "You don't have to think about it. This time I will definitely expel you from the Ministry of Justice. As for that woman... you have to pay compensation. It's the best result that the family members don't pursue you for forcing innocent people to death."

After saying that, he stood up resolutely, not wanting to pay any more attention, and went into the back hall.

It turned out that Pei Li had just returned after finishing his work.

Zhou Chang was very disappointed. This punishment was too light for Hu Lai.

Hu Lai was still unwilling to give up, and went over to grab Zhou Chang's clothes and said, "Sister, please say something. I can't give up this position. Dad is getting old and will pass away soon. If I don't have this position, what else can Dad expect?"

Zhou Chang then stood up and nodded to Pei Li: "It was all my fault in the past, my lord, don't be angry, and don't worry about my family. Just do whatever you want. As for my family, I will personally go to their house tomorrow to explain."

Since she was given the chance, she would not miss it, and she already had a plan in mind on how to settle old scores.

Pei Li was even more surprised and stopped immediately.

Zhou Chang smiled gently and bowed: "My lord, you must be tired after being busy these days. Go to the back hall to rest first. I will prepare a table of wine and food for you in the evening to apologize to you."

"Madam, you are too kind." Pei Li felt a little embarrassed, but he caught a glimpse of Hu Lai from the corner of his eye, glared at him, said nothing more, and left with his hands behind his back. "Think about this: some things are hard to understand."
