The real daughter died tragically and was reborn, and the whole family cried and begged for forgiven

Prince Su said this with a half-smile on his face. As soon as he finished speaking, many ladies and girls behind him were so frightened that their legs went limp.

The masters of each family pulled the people tightly and scolded them in a low voice.

But who hasn’t heard of the name of Yama, the God of Death?

If they were to be sent to the Ministry of Justice and then be tried personally by the Dali Temple, would they still have a chance to survive?

"Is our Peiguo Mansion also finished?"

"How could this happen? We really don't know anything..."

"That's right, it's unfair, we really don't know anything..."

"Woo woo, woo woo..."

The officials from the Dali Temple were very quick and immediately stepped forward to gather all the members of the Pei family together.

The slaves were pinned to the ground, and the servants were taken with the sword.

All of the masters had their hands quickly tied with ropes, and then they were tied together one after another.

There was chaos at the back, and many people were so scared that they started sobbing.

Duke Pei's expression naturally looked very ugly.

If he were the only one being interrogated, his life would be at stake, and if he remained silent until his death, the entire Pei Mansion could be saved.

But if the entire Pei Mansion was really taken to the Ministry of Justice, and was personally summoned by Prince Su, how many of them would be able to come out alive?

How many of them really know nothing?

Duke Pei suddenly looked up at Old Madam Pei.

When Pei Guogong saw Old Madam Pei staring at him with a complex and sorrowful expression, he cried out in grief, "Auntie..."

Duke Pei knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Old Madam Pei.

"Aunt, our family has suddenly suffered such a great disaster today. No matter how much I try to excuse myself, it will all be nothing but sophistry in the eyes of His Royal Highness Prince Su."

"Aunt, please testify for our Pei family. We truly know nothing about these accusations!"

"Take, for example, the time when my father suddenly ordered the entire Pei family to sever ties with my aunt. Aunt, do you know that my father personally called me over and told me, my nephew, that his illness would eventually implicate the entire Pei family."

"He knows that you've been through enough hardship and have suffered enough, so he doesn't want you to be implicated by the Pei family in the future."

"That's why father made that cruel decision not to let Aunt come home and not to allow us to have any contact with her anymore..."

"Aunt, Father treats you this way, so how could he really drag our entire Pei Mansion into such danger?"

"We are truly all innocent. Your Highness, please bear witness to this. Aunt, please testify for us..."

Duke Pei suddenly burst into tears.

Mrs. Pei was shocked.

She murmured in disbelief: "The truth, is this the truth?"

"We returned from the battlefield together. What disease did my elder brother suffer from back then? Why do I know nothing about it?"

"If he really wanted to protect me, and so cruelly cut off the Pei family's relationship with me, did he ever ask for my wishes?"

"Bu'er..."

"And if that's true, why do your other two aunts who married far away still have frequent contact with the Pei Mansion?"

Duke Pei: "Because you, my aunt, have been on the battlefield with our father, you will always be the sister he cherishes most!"

"Furthermore, Father never imagined that he would be so foolish today, that there would be a day when he would be so hated by the world. He still clung to a lucky chance..."

Mrs. Pei shook her head: "No, Bu'er."

"Aunt knows my brother's character. He is the most resolute and loyal general in the world. If he could have foreseen that his illness would one day bring disaster upon the entire Pei Mansion, he would definitely not have lived in humiliation!"

"Given his temperament, he would have ended his own life long ago to prevent future troubles. Why would he kill so many innocent women just to survive?"

"unless……"

Mrs. Pei couldn't say it.

Unless there is a reason why my brother must not die.

Madam Pei turned around to wipe her tears. Seeing that Madam Pei refused to help, Duke Pei immediately changed his tone: "You are really as my grandfather and the others said, a heartless and ungrateful woman! Even if your last name is Pei, you will never sacrifice even the slightest bit of your own interests for the entire Pei family..."

"Haha, hahaha..."

"It's me. I was too desperate and tried everything. I even expected you to do something for the Peiguo Mansion."

"Prince Su, if you insist on accusing our Pei family of any crime, I can take full responsibility for it. These sons and daughters of our family are all innocent..."

Prince Su: "I will not wrongly accuse a good person, but I will never kill a bad person by mistake. After I have investigated the murders in your Pei Mansion, I will make sure that the entire family is brought to justice."

"Come here, bring Duke Pei and all the people in Duke Pei's mansion..."

Prince Su had barely finished his words when a loud shout suddenly came from the distance: "The Imperial Edict has arrived—Your Highness Prince Su, where is Duke Pei? Please both of you come out immediately to receive His Majesty's personal edict!"

Imperial decree?

Still two!

Li Qingluo looked at Prince Su.

This sudden imperial edict completely disrupted Prince Su's plans.

Everyone in the courtyard knelt down again, and this time Prince Su also had to kneel down to receive the imperial edict.

"The Emperor proclaims, by order of Heaven.

After investigation and verification, it was found that Prince Su Duan Rongshi was handling a case in the charity cemetery a few months ago. In order to catch the traitor, he unfortunately killed Erlang of the Earl's Mansion in Cangdu. As a prince and a high-ranking official, this was a serious dereliction of duty.

Today, Prince Su is punished by being suspended from his post as the Minister of the Dali Temple, and ordered to reflect on his mistakes in seclusion in his palace for three months, and to apologize to the Earl of Cangdu's palace.

I hope you will repent in the future, be worthy of the people of Dawn, and never make such irresponsible mistakes again.

Admire this! "

"The Emperor proclaims, by order of Heaven.

Pei Zixuan, the daughter of Duke Pei, is dignified and elegant, talented and virtuous, and virtuous. She has won my heart, so I have decided to confer upon her the rank of a sixth-rank official, bestow upon her the title of Jing, grant her the residence of Tingyu Pavilion, and bestow upon her five hundred taels of silver, twelve pieces of jewellery, and twelve bolts of silk and satin.

Choose a day to enter the palace. This is my order."

Pei Zixuan is the fourth daughter of the Pei family. She is nineteen years old but still unmarried.

It turns out that the Pei family kept her for such great use.

Li Qingluo glanced at Pan Li, who also looked shocked.

But in fact, except for them, everyone else in the Pei family was also extremely shocked.

The arrival of these two imperial edicts has indeed completely changed the entire situation.

Everyone in the Pei Mansion instantly had joy and smiles on their faces.

Only Pei Si Niang looked extremely ugly.

She lowered her head and used great effort to hold back her tears. Then she stepped forward and respectfully accepted the imperial edict with her father, Duke Pei, and thanked him for his grace.

Prince Su stood up with a gloomy face after receiving the order.

In front of the eunuch Wang He, he wrinkled the imperial edict in his hand.

Wang He could only pretend not to see it, and trembling with fear, he tried to be polite and gentle: "Your Highness, please return to Prince Su's Mansion as soon as possible... shut yourself up and reflect on your mistakes..."

Prince Su sneered, "Father's imperial edict arrived just in time. I was about to bring someone to justice, but now I have to temporarily take off my official uniform. Do you think that this will make the Peiguo Mansion lawless?"

Wang He couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.

After all, this King of Hell had killed countless people in the past, but as long as the case was cleared up, His Majesty would turn a blind eye and never care about what he had done.

The fact that the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice are so clean now is closely related to the methods of this King Yama.

But His Majesty changes his attitude at will, punishes at will, and protects the Pei family so obviously. It would be strange if Prince Su is not angry.

Wang He could only smile.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has said that you only need to obey his orders and there is no need to go to the palace to see him."

Duan Rongshi suddenly calmed down completely.

He seemed to have accepted this fact, turned around and walked out with all the guards and subordinates.

"Tell the Emperor that I obey His Majesty's orders!"

Before leaving, Prince Su glanced at Li Qingluo.

Although his eyes only passed lightly over where she was, Li Qingluo knew that he was looking at her.

For some reason, seeing him leave with the imperial edict so calmly and calmly, Li Qingluo looked at his back and saw a bit of loneliness, reluctance, solitude and sarcasm.

Her heart ached, and an indescribable soreness instantly filled her entire chest.

Prince Su really wants to handle the Pei Mansion case, and he also really wants to seek justice for Nan Jia and find out the real culprit.

However, the emperor was in power. Although he was arrogant and domineering in his daily life, and his methods of handling cases were decisive, ruthless and fierce, he was still no match for the emperor's words.

Everything fell through at the last moment.

It's really ridiculous...

After coming out of Pei Mansion, people from the Pan family hurried over.

"Li'er——"

Pan Li's mother got off the carriage and hugged Pan Li in her arms, tears streaming down her face.

"We received a secret letter saying you were at the Pei family. We still don't believe it and don't understand why you are here."

"I didn't expect you to be here! Did you know we've been looking for you all day?"

"But fortunately, being in the Pei family is better than being kidnapped by real thieves."

"Li'er, come home with your parents..."

Li Qingluo looked at her grandmother.

Mrs. Pei nodded slowly. It was indeed the letter she sent to the Pan family.

It’s just that the Pan family arrived too late and had no idea what had happened in the Pei Mansion.

Pan Li's eyes were red as she shook her head. "Father, Mother, it was the eldest daughter of the Li family who saved our daughter. We were both kidnapped by the Pei family. As for the rest, let's talk about it when we get home."

It would probably not be easy to completely conceal what the Pei Mansion did.

So Pan Li didn't intend to hide everything, and would only tell part of what could be told in Pan Li's identity.

The Pan couple were naturally very grateful to Li Qingluo and invited her to visit the Pei family.

Pan Li: "Father and Mother, of course we have to go to the Li family in person to thank them for saving our daughter."

Li Qingluo quickly reminded him, "We are now at General Xiuli's Mansion in the south of the city."

Pan Li changed her tone and said, "Yes, let's go to General Xiuli's residence in person to thank Miss Li and Old Madam Pei. If it weren't for them, our daughter wouldn't be able to come out so soon."

The Pan couple expressed their gratitude again and again.

After seeing Pan Li off, Li Qingluo looked at the woman squatting at his feet.

Just now, when they were about to bring this woman out, Duke Pei seemed to want to stop them.

It was Old Madam Pei who said, "Didn't you say that the entire Pei Mansion knew nothing about the dungeon incident? If that's the case, I'll take this surviving victim with me!"

The chief eunuch Wang He was still there, and Duke Pei could only watch them take the person away from the Pei Mansion.

On the way back in the carriage, Madam Pei sighed, "It seems that the Pei Mansion is protected by His Majesty."

"Luo'er, do you have any thoughts on this matter?"

Li Qingluo looked at Madam Pei, but she did not answer immediately.

Instead, she suddenly slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, Grandma! My granddaughter still has an important thing to do! Quick, get out of the city——"
