Mrs. Peng was dumbfounded.
What was going on? Could it be that General He had given her the imperial silver that the emperor had bestowed upon her?
But General He clearly told him not to tell anyone?
Why did he throw the imperial silver to him?
This bright new era name is clearly the result of this military achievement. That's it.
How can he spend it?
Is it possible, is it possible...
He looked up in astonishment and looked at the crowd who were making a fuss.
"Good of you, Peng! This official silver is only given to the soldiers who achieved first-class military merit in this border campaign. Tell me quickly! Where did you steal it?"
"When did you become so bold, you rascal? Did you know that the only people who have received first-class military merit are General Ruan Tingzhi and General He Zhixiao?"
"Oh my God!" Everyone looked at Mrs. Peng in disbelief. "Could it be that you sneaked into the two generals' houses?"
The unfamiliar young voice suddenly spoke again, "Tell me! Was it you who started the fire in General He's courtyard?"
Everyone was shocked after hearing these words that seemed like enlightenment.
Mrs. Peng was completely stunned.
She cried out, "How could I, how could I be so brave! This silver, this silver, was given to me as compensation by General He! I didn't steal it! And I certainly didn't get it by arson! Even if I had ten thousand guts, I wouldn't dare to do that!"
Everyone was speechless.
"What compensation? Why should General He pay you silver?"
"It's like a dog can't spit out ivory. What nonsense!"
"Yeah! He's just a street scoundrel, and he's only familiar to us. How could he be associated with General He?"
"ridiculous!"
A young and powerful voice rang out, "Quick! Report him to the police! Take him to the Dali Temple!"
Peng collapsed to the ground in fear.
"No! No!"
In a panic, he took out the red cloth and said, "Really? What I said is true! Why did General He compensate me with silver? That's for my medical expenses!"
"What did you say?" The teahouse suddenly fell silent.
Everyone looked at Mrs. Peng.
Peng said with tears and snot, "That's right, the woman in red you saw today who kicked me twice was General He himself!"
"what?"
Everyone exploded the pot.
"What are you talking about?"
"If you want to escape responsibility, please don't spread rumors and cause trouble, okay?"
"You rascal! Do you know how serious the consequences are for spreading rumors about the loyal and brave soldiers of Tianze? The lightest punishment is ten years in prison, the worst is beating to death!"
"This is getting more and more outrageous. How could that woman just now be my famous General He?"
"Yes, although General He is a temperamental person in the army, she is humble, polite, generous, and kind-hearted. How could she bother with a scoundrel like you and even kick you a few times?"
"I think you're trying to evade responsibility. You're crazy!"
"How dare you slander our General He! You're courting death!"
"Quick! Take him to the Dali Temple!"
"Walk around..."
The crowd cheered.
Peng was taken to the Dali Temple on the street.
When the Dali Temple Minister received this case, he was also confused.
The real culprit of the He Mansion arson case has not been found yet, but it is definitely not the cowardly and skinny man in front of him.
He was about to persuade everyone to leave.
If you want to make a fuss, don't come to the Dali Temple.
But then they saw everyone taking out several silver ingots from Peng's arms.
The Dali Temple Minister looked at the silver ingots and his expression suddenly became serious.
He immediately ordered his men to control Peng.
"This is a specially made silver ingot from the palace, given to soldiers who have achieved significant military merit. Only General He and General Ruan have received this victory. How could you have so many intact ones here?"
A familiar voice rose up among the crowd that had brought Mrs. Peng over. "Yes, sir! Although the palace silver can be spent, there are actually several Mrs. Pengs. This is truly suspicious!"
"Sir! Peng said General He kicked him a few times inexplicably in the teahouse today and gave him compensation. But we were all there at the time, and the person who kicked Peng was wearing a veil, so we can't confirm who it was. General He is an upright person, so how could he do such a shady thing? All of us dare to speculate that Peng must have been jealous of General He's generous reward and had evil intentions..."
"The person who set fire to General He's courtyard must be Peng!"
"It must be Peng!"
Mrs. Peng kept crying, "It was really General He who compensated me for my medical expenses! It really is!"
"Well, there's a young man in that teahouse who can prove it for me, prove it for me!"
A familiar voice rang out from the crowd, "We were also witnesses. Can we prove it for you? Unless we can have General He come and confront you face to face!"
The scene suddenly became quiet for several minutes.
After a while, a leading voice emerged from the crowd, "Let General He come forward for confrontation! Restore General He's innocence and return his lost property!"
The Dali Temple Minister frowned.
Doubt in mind.
Up to this point in the case, I haven't heard General He mention that there was a theft in the yard!
How could so many troubles arise?
He waved his hand at the crowd and asked, "How could General He be invited by the Dali Temple just like that?"
As he spoke, he squatted down and asked Mrs. Peng, "Where did this silver come from?"
"Sir! It was General He who really compensated me! I dare not lie. Please send someone to verify with General He, and everything will become clear."
Seeing that Mrs. Peng was about to die, he still spoke with such certainty.
Everyone was surprised.
Could it be that what this rascal said was actually true?
Having said that, the figure of the woman in red was indeed very similar to the red-clothed general seen on the tall horse that day.
But then again, General He is a man of noble character and integrity. How could he beat up a scoundrel for no reason? Wouldn't that be degrading?
Still can't believe it.
They all glared at Peng.
"How could General He care about someone as filthy as you? Stop dreaming."
"Really? You all saw it in the teahouse today! The man who kicked me for no reason was General He!"
"You rascal, you've been taken to the Dali Temple, and you're still stubborn, slandering and spreading rumors about my Tianze heroes!"
"Really! Really! You believe me! My Lord, believe me!"
"Believe you?" the familiar voice asked. "Do you have evidence?"
After hearing this question, Mrs. Peng suddenly reacted.
He hurriedly took out the red cloth from his arms and showed it to everyone, "As you can see, this is the piece of cloth I tore off the sleeve of the woman in red."
"so what?"
"This piece of fabric was torn at General He's cuffs."
Everyone still couldn't believe it.
"Why do I believe everything you say?"
"One is a great general with illustrious military achievements, and the other is a street thug. Who do you think I would trust?"
"Still talking nonsense, sir! Please imprison him immediately. He has committed four major crimes."
"Arson, murder, theft, and defamation"
Mrs. Peng looked horrified and extremely frightened.
