"I didn't do anything! I didn't do anything..."

"What's the point of quibbling? You're guilty of the death penalty!"

Peng's panicked mind was about to go blank. The Dali Temple Minister saw everyone arguing in front of the door and his head was buzzing.

More and more people gathered and the situation became more and more serious.

I can only send someone to invite General He.

"Sir, what is the reason for your request?" asked Si Zheng.

Without waiting for the Dali Temple Minister to reply.

A voice from the crowd said, "Of course, they're asking for the arson case! General He has always been upright, so why would he bother to argue with a scoundrel? He doesn't have any devious thoughts, so he's coming to confront us openly."

"Sir..." The Chief Justice of Dali Temple was still asking for instructions from the Minister of Dali Temple.

The Dali Temple Minister didn't think much about it at first, but when he heard the voice in the crowd, he thought that the most crucial evidence was General He's clothes.

He has always been rigorous, fair and comprehensive.

Naturally, I considered that if what Mrs. Peng said was true, and General He heard that he came here just for Mrs. Peng, what would it matter if he changed his clothes?

In addition, everyone has now pushed this matter into the category of arson.

There is nothing wrong with saying that they are asking for help because of the arson case.

He nodded in agreement.

"Teramasa, go and ask for it yourself. Tell them that new evidence has emerged in the arson case and the general needs to come in person to corroborate it."

"As ordered!"

As Dali Temple Si Zheng led his men away on horseback.

The tense expressions of the crowd relaxed a lot, but there were more voices blaming and teasing Peng.

"When General He arrives, you'll know how powerful he is."

"Then let's see how he can still be stubborn!"

……

Mrs. Peng’s voice became hoarse from crying.

He held the red cloth tightly in his hands, not daring to let go for a moment.

This was the only thing he had left to prove his innocence.

Fortunately, when General He tried to take it away, he did not let go. General He did not want to argue with him any longer, so he gave up.

Just, just...

Mrs. Peng suddenly turned pale.

But General He would not change his clothes as soon as he entered the mansion and destroy the red dress!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Peng felt like she was about to collapse.

His pale face was even more frightening.

He was trembling slightly all over and felt extremely unlucky.

He spent the whole day in a daze, wasting time in the teahouse. He had very little money left and had no intention of coming back today. However, he happened to pick up some silver as he went out.

You said you wanted to have some fun in the teahouse, but you were tripped by some blind person.

Why didn't he fall anywhere else, but he just happened to fall next to General He.

But General He hit him with his sleeve.

He just exclaimed.

That’s what happened next.

After all, it was all the silver that caused the trouble.

And the one who tripped him up.

He always felt that the person who tripped him did it on purpose.

Moreover, the force of his trip was so great that he was about to pounce on General He, but General He swung his sleeve from behind, as if someone gently pulled him from behind, allowing him to control himself and not fall on her, but on the floor behind her.

It's strange, really too strange.

It's a coincidence.

I can’t explain it even if I have a mouth.

Right now, we can only hope that General He has not changed out of his clothes yet.

But this hope is extremely slim.

Even if this wasn't the case, what kind of girl from a noble family would wear torn clothes? She quickly changed them.

As he thought about this, his body trembled more obviously because of the fear of the unknown.

I couldn't hear a single word of the mocking and ridiculing words around me.

I do not know how long it has been.

The crowd suddenly became quiet. A path formed among the people in front of him. A graceful girl in red walked towards the center of the path.

It’s General He!

He quickly looked at General He's cuffs.

But General He was wearing a thin red cloak, and it was unclear whether he was wearing the same red clothes under the cloak as today.

He was stunned.

My head buzzed violently.

I almost fainted.

General He in red came up to him, looked at him in shock, and then looked at the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple in confusion.

"I've met my lord."

After returning the greeting, the Dali Temple Minister didn't waste any words and pointed directly at the collapsed Peng on the ground and asked, "General, do you recognize this person?"

General He lowered his head and looked at Mrs. Peng, frowning as he looked at the red cloth in his hand.

Feeling bad.

After sending Mrs. Peng away, she wanted to change her clothes, but on the short walk into the mansion, she heard that General Ruan was coming to see her.

She hid her sleeves and finally managed to send General Ruan away.

Someone from the Dali Temple has come again.

He said there was new evidence in the arson case and asked her to confirm it.

She had her doubts at the time. What evidence could she have? It was just a case where the real culprit could not be found.

Maybe it was some small object in the ashes.

Who would have known that when he arrived at the Dali Temple, not only was a group of people gathered in front of the door, but the ruffian Peng who had just been sent away was also there.

Now the Dali Temple Minister asked her if she recognized him.

Of course I can't recognize it.

She chuckled and replied, "General, I don't know this person."

As soon as these words came out, Peng became anxious and immediately shouted, "General He, you can't do this! You absolutely can't do this!"

"This is the silver ingot found on Peng. He claimed it was compensated by the general. Please take a closer look, general. But does it belong to the general?"

He Zhixiao looked at the silver ingot handed to her by the Dali Temple Minister.

His expression changed drastically.

She did give silver ingots to Peng, but how could it be the imperial silver?

She clearly remembered that she had never taken out the silver ingot.

Her purse was filled with normal official silver!

But apart from her and General Ruan, no one else owned this silver ingot. So... should this be blamed on General Ruan?

She was hesitant, but as soon as she thought of Ruan Tingzhi, she realized that he was on Yan Yunshu's side when it came to the celebration banquet!

That heart no longer hesitated.

"I don't even know this person, so how can I compensate him? Also, this silver is only in the possession of me and General Ruan, but I didn't take the palace silver out. I guess this silver belongs to General Ruan."

Mrs. Peng was dumbfounded.

How come General He became General Ruan?

He argued, "General He, how could you lie? It was clearly you who threw the silver to me in front of the He Mansion. I heard your voice and saw your face..."

"I am an upright and honest general. I would never do such dirty and filthy things as those that are inconsistent in words and deeds and that deceive and deceive others!"

He Zhixiao said this, glancing coldly at Peng.

Seeing that it was getting late, he looked at the Dali Temple Minister and said, "Your Excellency asked me to come to the Dali Temple to find evidence to support the arson case. I wonder where the evidence is."

The Dali Temple Minister pointed at the silver ingots and said, "This is the evidence."
