The real daughter died tragically and was reborn, and the whole family cried and begged for forgiven
Chapter 250 Breaking out of the dungeon! Prince Su’s case is tried in Pei Mansion!
Although the woman was walking on her hands and feet, she was very fast and even left Li Qingluo and Pan Li far behind.
When Li Qingluo and Pan Li returned to the exit safely, their whereabouts were discovered by King Su.
Duan Rongshi glared at her fiercely, his eyes seemed to say: I will settle the score with you later!
Li Qingluo pretended not to see it because the dungeon behind him had completely collapsed and even the entrance to the secret passage was destroyed.
They were forced to climb the stone stairs and wait for the people from the Dali Temple to break down the door.
However, the people from the Dali Temple saw a crazy woman suddenly appear. Someone cried out at her terrifying appearance, but the woman suddenly rushed forward and bit the official.
"what!!"
A scream instantly threw the crowd into chaos.
"what--"
Zhui Yu and everyone around immediately drew their swords and were about to kill the woman, but Li Qingluo shouted, "Don't kill her!"
She rushed over, grabbed the woman, and shouted, "Shut up! If I had known you wanted to die, I shouldn't have rescued you. Let go now!"
After hearing Li Qingluo's scolding, the girl actually slowly relaxed, quickly retreated, and hid behind Li Qingluo.
Fortunately, although the officer's neck was bitten, the blood vessels and flesh on his neck had not been torn. As soon as the woman stepped back, someone immediately came up with a strip of cloth and tightly wrapped the wound for him.
People shouldn't be able to die.
There was no time to argue with Li Qingluo and the others at this time, because the back of the dungeon had completely collapsed, and even rocks began to fall from the stairs and sink.
Duan Rongshi withdrew his gaze from the woman and pulled Li Qingluo to him, "Come to me."
Li Qingluo pulled Pan Li, and the three of them quickly hid beside Prince Su.
Zhui Yu and the others were already shouting in unison: "One, two—break—!"
With a loud bang, the iron gate collapsed.
The huge rocks behind him also fell down with a "boom".
Amidst the ashes and mud, Li Qingluo felt herself being tightly embraced. She couldn't help but hide within. Then, she was carried outward, greeted by a ray of light...
"Pan Li!"
As soon as Li Qingluo breathed in the fresh air, he immediately turned around to look for her.
Pan Li raised his head while coughing.
She was protected by Sha Lei and Zhui Yu.
And that abnormal girl was also pulled out from the ashes at this moment.
She looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside, holding her head in fear and screaming in a low voice: "Ah - Ah - Ah -"
Li Qingluo and Pan Li just smiled at each other and noticed that the girl was abnormal.
She seems to be afraid of sunlight?
Prince Su: "Zhuiyu, take off your outer robe."
Zhui Yu said "Oh" and quickly took off his outer robe and covered the girl with it.
The girl immediately squatted quietly on the spot, not daring to move.
"Luo'er! Luo'er——"
Before Li Qingluo had time to look at where he was, he heard a familiar shout.
She quickly looked up and looked in the direction of the sound.
"grandmother!?"
Madam Pei, dressed in armor, came over quickly with red eyes. Li Qingluo's eyes also instantly turned red. She ran towards Madam Pei furiously.
"grandmother!"
The grandfather and grandson hugged each other tightly in front of the ruins, and Mrs. Pei couldn't help shedding tears.
Li Qingluo saw this and frantically wiped her grandmother's tears. She asked anxiously and concernedly, "Grandma, why are you here? And you're dressed so majestically. Luo'er... Luo'er almost didn't recognize you."
Madam Pei slapped her on the shoulder and said, "You little rascal! Grandma was so worried about you. She thought something had happened to you."
"If something really happens to you, grandma will turn against the Pei family!"
"Grandma, if you don't dress like this, how can you intimidate them? And how can you enter the Pei Mansion?"
The Pei family and Old Madam Pei had not had any contact for thirty years. Now Old Madam Pei was trying her best to find Li Qingluo.
This can be regarded as completely offending the Pei family again.
Li Qingluo felt deeply guilty after hearing this.
"Grandma, I've made you worry again. I'm unfilial."
She looked up at the sky and thought to herself, "A whole day has already passed." While she was unconscious, a whole night had passed. She wondered how Grandmother had gotten through the entire day.
If my grandmother were missing, I would definitely want to turn the whole of Jinling upside down, right?
Madam Pei: "Besides you, who else can Grandma worry about? But you really were abducted by the Pei family... How are you? Are you hurt anywhere? Are you okay?"
"Let Grandma see you, child, turn around!"
Li Qingluo obediently turned around and let Madam Pei look at him.
"Grandma, Luo'er is fine."
When Mrs. Pei saw that she had no obvious injuries, she breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"Grandma knew it. Our Luo'er is a lucky person with divine blessings. He will always turn misfortune into fortune."
After saying this, Madam Pei looked up at Prince Su, knowing that Luo'er's safety this time must be related to Prince Su.
She hurriedly walked forward with Li Qingluo, "Your Highness Prince Su, Luo'er has been rescued by you once again. I am truly overwhelmed with gratitude. Our General Xiuli Mansion is once again indebted to Your Highness. This is truly... I really don't know how to thank you."
Duan Rongshi: "General Pei, there's no need to be so polite. This time, I met Miss Li by chance, and she helped me a lot. We helped each other, and this can't be attributed to me alone."
"There's no need to mention this matter anymore."
"Now, I also need the help of General Pei. Please take a look, General Pei, is this the courtyard where the old Duke lived?"
Only then did Li Qingluo notice that the place where they escaped from the dungeon was the Pei family.
However, because the dungeon collapsed, the courtyards and houses above were also destroyed, and it was impossible to tell where this place was originally.
Madam Pei nodded bitterly, "Yes. This is indeed the courtyard where my elder brother lived. Although I have been away from home for over thirty years, I still remember the way I came here."
"Your Highness Prince Su, before you came out, my eldest brother had already been taken away from here by the third brother of the Pei Mansion. Your guards have already led some people to chase him, and the rest of the people from the Pei Mansion are here."
Instantly, everyone in the courtyard knelt down and said, "Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Su. May His Royal Highness live a thousand years."
Madam Pei: "Someone, bring Duke Pei Bu up here!"
Madam Pei gave a low shout, and Nanny Zhang and a few others, who were also wearing armor today, immediately brought up Duke Pei Bu.
Zhui Yu and Sha Lei brought a throne from somewhere and placed it in front of the ruins.
Prince Su waved his robe and sat down on the spot.
Obviously, today the Dali Temple Minister is going to solve the case on the spot in front of the ruins of Pei Mansion.
Prince Su's eyes were sharp, like a sword cutting through ice, as he stared at Duke Pei, who was usually timid and mediocre.
"You are so bold, Duke Pei! Your Pei Mansion has secretly built a dungeon and has been killing innocent women for years. You are using human blood to support the old Duke Pei to prolong his life. This is absurd and extremely cruel. Do you admit it or not?"
"And is Pei Twelve Niang's death related to this matter? Do you know anything about it? Come here immediately!"
Duke Pei simply stared blankly ahead and said coldly, "I don't know what Your Highness is talking about. I don't understand, and I don't know what you are saying."
"All I know is that my father fought for our country and lost his two younger brothers in quick succession. He himself returned from the battlefield covered in wounds, and upon his return, he was already suffering from a strange disease."
"He knew his body was no longer capable of fulfilling the role of the Great General, so he resolutely relinquished the military power coveted by everyone in the world. He also ordered my Pei family to keep a low profile and cease all contact with any of the prominent families in Jinling City."
"Even the court ordered his descendants not to gain prominence before he passed away a hundred years ago. They didn't want the entire Pei family to have any chance of causing trouble because of him and harming the people of Daliang."
"Furthermore, my father has always had his own doctor by his side. For many years, he has been plagued by illness and rarely leaves the courtyard, causing trouble and distress to me and my family."
"As for why there was a dungeon under my father's courtyard, what he did to harm innocent women, and Twelve Niang's death, I and my family are completely unaware of it."
"And Sanlang, he was loved by his father since he was young, so he grew up by his father's side and did things for him. It's not surprising."
"Today, my aunt and His Royal Highness Prince Su's men all came to our Peiguo Mansion. One of them threatened to kidnap my granddaughter and demand her return, while the other said His Royal Highness Prince Su was imprisoned in the dungeon of my mansion. Such a ridiculous thing, if it weren't for the first time I and my family had seen it, we wouldn't believe it."
"Although His Highness did emerge from underground, he also destroyed the houses of our Pei Mansion. So many people are making a big fuss in the Pei Mansion and wanting to arrest people for investigation. Is this bullying us? The Pei Mansion has no one to rely on now, so you want to bully us to this extent?"
"Since that is the case, why don't I go to the palace immediately and defend my grievances before His Majesty?"
Zhui Yu shouted, "How dare you, Duke Pei! The facts are right before our eyes. You have a dungeon in your mansion, and you're still trying to fake it? You kidnapped Miss Li and Miss Pan. If we hadn't come out together as witnesses, would you still be able to deny it?"
"As for what dirty deeds you've done over the years, they have nothing to do with your Pei family's past achievements!"
"You're even bringing up His Majesty. His Majesty is a saint who knows right from wrong. Could it be that our Highness is afraid of you?"
Duan Rongshi raised his hand to stop Zhui Yu from speaking any further.
Zhui Yu snorted angrily.
Duan Rongshi suddenly smiled, "Duke Pei is a man of integrity. This prince respects you as the dignified Duke Pei. Remembering your Pei family's past achievements and contributions to the well-being of the people of Daliang, I have always been courteous to you."
"Yet you don't take me seriously at all."
"A case of dismemberment and murder has led to countless murders committed by your Pei Mansion. Based on this one charge alone, the laws of Daliang allow me to execute the entire family of your Pei Mansion!"
"You still want to play dumb with me? Do you really think I'm a vegetarian?"
"Come here, arrest every member of the Pei family. Send them to the Ministry of Justice's prison and have Zhang Yi interrogate them for me. Is it true that everyone in the Pei Mansion is completely unaware of the murder that happened to Old Duke Pei, or of this Pei Mansion dungeon?"
"How many maids in the Pei Mansion died?"
"How many innocent orphans have been captured by the Pei Mansion?"
"And those palace maids who disappeared one after another this time, dig them up for me. Dig out the skeletons in the dungeon and check the skeletons one by one to confirm their identities. I don't believe that the Pei Mansion has no connection!"
"Among these servants, masters, young men and young ladies, there will always be one who can't stand it. Those who don't tell the truth will all be severely punished, and there will always be one or two who will tell the truth."
"Duke Pei, do you think this idea of mine is good?"
