The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

The jailer came over and glared at her: "Why are you shouting so loudly? Tell me what's going on!"

Guo quickly knelt down and said, "Please, Master Jailer, please inform me and tell me that I have something important to confess!"

The jailer didn't dare to neglect it after hearing this, and shouted again: "Wait!"

Half an hour later, Guo was taken to the warden's office.

The Public Security Bureau Chief looked at her coldly: "Tell me! What do you want to confess?"

Guo lowered her head and asked, "Excuse me, are you the Director?"

The director nodded expressionlessly: "Yes! It's me!"

"Master, I heard that the laws in Fugui City stipulate that those who confess will be punished leniently, while those who resist will be punished severely?"

The chief nodded again: "That's right, but it depends on how valuable the matter you confess is!"

"Oh! Sir, what I have to tell you is very important. If you tell me, can you spare my life?"

The chief rolled his eyes and said, "Tell me first. If the information you provide is valuable, we will consider reducing your sentence!"

Good! Guo sighed and said, "Sir! I want to report Peng Qi!"

"Three years ago, he was the one who hired someone to assassinate Young Master Xu! A year later, he was the one who ordered his own aunt to be knocked off a cliff!"

"Excuse me, sir! Can these two pieces of information buy me a life?"

The director stood up after hearing this. The two cases had not been solved yet, and his immediate superior was urging him to solve the problem every few days.

If I can't solve the case again, I'm afraid it's time to replace someone else in my position.

So, he came to Guo in surprise and asked anxiously, "Guo! Are you serious?"

Guo nodded heavily: "I dare not lie, it is absolutely true!"

Good! He ordered the clerk beside him: "Record the confession!"

After saying that, he excitedly left the cell and walked towards the office of his immediate superior, Qiwu.

After entering the room, he excitedly clasped his fists and said, "Sir! There is an unexpected discovery in the Peng Qi poisoning case!"

Oh? Qiwu put down the documents in his hand and looked at him puzzledly: "What unexpected gains did you get? Tell me!"

My Lord! Madam Peng Qi confessed that the assassination of Young Master Xu three years ago was done by a killer hired by Peng Qi!

"Also! The car accident involving Concubine Peng in the palace was also orchestrated by Peng Qi!"

"Really?" Qi Wu was surprised and delighted after hearing this: "I didn't expect that both cases were handled by the same person!"

"You go back first. I'll report to the Queen and then make a decision!"

Here! After the chief left, Qiwu hurriedly drove to the palace.

Zixuan was not surprised when he heard the news.

She had also suspected Peng Qi, but because she had no evidence, she could not convict him.

But now that she has evidence, the person is dead, which makes her feel a little regretful.

It was such a relief for Peng Qi to die so easily!

Qiwu asked, "Your Majesty! Do you think it's time to close this case?"

Zixuan nodded: "According to the final procedure, the verdict will be announced in court. Once the verdict is announced, the case will be closed!"

"Then, how should Peng Xiguo and his clansmen be convicted? Your Majesty, please advise."

"Peng Xi's crime of poisoning his own father is extremely heinous. He shall be torn apart by five horses!"

"Guo is an accomplice and should be sentenced to twenty years in prison according to the law. However, considering his report was meritorious, I will sentence him to ten years!"

"As for his clansmen... although Peng Qi once hired someone to assassinate Master Xu, the attempt was unsuccessful, and the person was already dead."

"The clan members will no longer be killed. Only the Peng Mansion will be confiscated and the three clans will be exiled!"

In Ziyue's villa, Ziyue was lying on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

I never expected that Peng Xi, whom I had loved for several years, was actually a murderer.

Thanks to my mother who disguised herself as Peng Qi's ghost, her crime was finally exposed.

If there is no solid evidence, I would never believe that Peng Xi is the murderer.

But when I think about the relationship of the past two years, it’s not something I can let go of easily.

Thinking of this, he shed tears sadly again. Peng Xi would not survive and would definitely be sentenced to death.

Alas! Considering the two years we've spent together, I decided to go visit her in the cell.

By the way, I brought her some delicious food, and I felt that I had done my best.

So he got up, dressed neatly, drove to the food street, bought some of Peng Xi's favorite delicacies, and soon arrived at the prison of the Public Security Bureau.

When Peng Xi saw Zi Yue coming, she was immediately surprised and hugged Zi Yue's waist.

"Ziyue, I didn't expect you to come and see me. I know you still have me in your heart, right?"

"Ziyue! The queen is your mother, she loves children the most!"

"Go and plead for me, and ask her to let us, mother and daughter, go! Wuwuwu..."

Zi Yue felt nauseous when he smelled the sour and stinky smell coming from her.

He slowly pried Peng Xi's hands apart and shook off the dirt on his body in disgust.

He took two steps back and said, "Peng Ruo! I came here today to see you one last time because of our past friendship."

"These are your favorite foods. This is all I can do for you!"

After saying that, he put the package in front of her and turned away.

Stop! Peng Xi shouted, "Zi Yue, I didn't expect you to be so heartless!"

"Do you know why I poisoned you? Isn't it to clear the obstacles for you?"

"Have you ever thought about this! Once Zi Ri dies, the position of crown prince will be yours!"

"Becoming the crown prince means you will be the future king!"

"Now that I'm in trouble, you're just going to break off all ties with me?"

"Haha! Husband and wife are birds of a feather, but when disaster strikes, they fly away separately!"

People say that the emperor has been ruthless since ancient times. Today I have truly witnessed it!

"Those things you said back then, about falling in love with me at first sight... loving me, liking me, and how a day without seeing you felt like a long time!"

"So far, it seems these words are not even as good as a dog's fart! Pah!"

Zi Yue was so embarrassed by her scolding that he felt ashamed and humiliated. He threw his sleeves and said, "You, you... are unreasonable!"

After saying that, he hurriedly walked out of the cell and fled in panic.

Three days later, the court opened for sentencing. As soon as Peng Xi entered the hall, he shouted, "Your Honor!"

"It was my mother's idea to poison my father! She was the mastermind! I was just following orders! Please, Your Honor, investigate!"

The judge slammed the gavel: "Silence! Silence!"

"Peng Xi! You explained everything clearly in front of the king that night! How can you afford to quibble?"

"Your Honor! That night I was frightened by the king's ghost pretending to be my father. What he said was all nonsense! It doesn't count!"

The judge slammed the gavel: "Peng Xi! The king knew you were capable of this!"

"Come and listen! This is your confession from that night. It's all been recorded!"

After saying that, he turned on the recorder, and immediately, Peng Xi's voice came out...

After hearing this, Peng Xi collapsed to the ground in despair.

The judge stood up with the verdict in hand and read out, "Peng Xi violated human ethics and poisoned his own father to death. According to Fugui City law, he should be sentenced to death!"

"Now, with the King's gracious approval, Peng Xi is sentenced to death by quartering! Guo is sentenced to ten years' imprisonment! The Peng family's property is confiscated! All three clans are exiled!"
