She is different from the empress in the history books

Chapter 70 Mutation 5
Pei Peng's thoughts were interrupted. She turned around and saw that Xu Qing was already half-leaning on the pillar behind her. She was dragging the strong body of the maid in front of him while making uncontrollable retching sounds.

It’s really worthless... She’s not as good as a little girl like Cheng Fei...

Wait, where is Cheng Fei?
Pei Peng glanced left and right, and then slowly shifted his eyes down after the servant girl whispered "Your Highness, on the ground"...

Cheng Fei was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.

Fortunately, the two of them were not the only ones in the palace who looked flustered or couldn't face the tragedy, and no one felt it was inappropriate.

To be more precise, at this time, no one cared about the people around them. They were all staring at Pei Wei, trying to judge his next move.

The same was true for Pei Peng. She motioned to the maid to help Cheng Fei up and sit down, and she slowly sat back down. Then she looked at Pei Wei again, wondering what else he had done outside the hall.

This did not make Pei Peng wait too long, and the sound of orderly footsteps soon came from outside the hall, which was the unique sound of official boots stepping on the ground, and soon, it was Commander Shao's figure.

He knelt down and said to Pei Wei:

"Your Majesty, luckily, the family members of the rebels have been arrested, and all the evidence and letters showing traces of rebellion in their residence have been found."

This is very important to say, rebellion is not a matter of one family name, if it is really implemented, it will implicate relatives and old friends.

The fifth prince's wife's family, mother's family, and Pei Rong's mother's family, although some of their influence has been dampened by the change of old and new, there are still some members of the family who are eligible to sit in the palace.

These people just felt stiff at the moment, and they didn't even dare to turn their heads to look at the Pei Rong siblings, for fear that they would be labeled as accomplices by the emperor.

But in fact, they did not participate in it. Even if they had objections to Pei Wei, they wanted to make things a little bit of a stumbling block, but rebellion...

"You are talking nonsense! What is evidence? What evidence have you found? We did not conspire."

The fifth prince had recovered from his fright and yelled angrily at Shao Cangman.

He never kept any letters, and they didn't even correspond a few times. They only communicated through frequent banquets some time ago.Every time, he chooses a water pavilion or a mountain pavilion that is inaccessible to others, where it is impossible to even be eavesdropped.

And the evidence?Most of the purchases of things for setting fires and the mobilization of manpower were not done by his officials or guests of the palace, but were passed down layer by layer, and found bold merchants or rangers who value justice over life and death. They also don't know who it's for.

Even if Pei Wei wants to find someone to investigate in a short period of time, it is estimated that he can only find out those two families. Even if they identify him, the Fifth Prince thinks that he has done a clean job. start.

Especially among their generation of brothers, many have died in the struggle for the throne. Does it really mean that he, Pei Wei, doesn't care about his reputation as emperor?

Without evidence, it is not easy to kill them all. The fifth prince feels that even if the matter is exposed, there is a high probability that he will be stripped of his fiefdom, demoted, or at most restricted to a certain place and not allowed to appear.

But once he did it, disintegrating the alliance gathered around Pei Wei due to marriage, and then attacking the legitimacy of his succession, as the oldest surviving prince of the late emperor, he would gain far more than he would lose.

Shao Cangman didn't pay attention to the other party's clamor. He did deal with the traces relatively cleanly, but was he the one who had the final say on whether the evidence was true or false?
Can a prisoner, a bird in a cage, really make people run for one of his true and false theories?I'm afraid those people can't wait to completely cut off their relationship with him.

Pei Rong also knelt on the ground, but since she was a woman, the imperial guards were not so defensive against her, and they could still give her a certain amount of room to move. She turned her head to look at her younger brother, and turned back with a sneer.

She is not stupid, and she can naturally see that the other party has tried his best to clear up the relationship in every previous action, but she will not let him step on her to get the upper hand so easily.

She also burned part of the letter, but she also kept part of it.

Pei Rong believed that the same was true for the other two families. After all, if he could easily give up the grudge against his own son-in-law and nephew, how could he follow others wholeheartedly?
Pei Wei's voice came down from afar, and he neither responded to Brother Wuhuang's words nor explained anything to other ministers, but said to Commander Shao:
"Then bring the evidence. If there are witnesses, bring them too. Just so everyone can see whether I should do such a thing on my big day."

"What's more, there is actually a witness in our palace. She is the one who found out about this and told her in time, otherwise..."

Pei Peng's pupils shrank, it was referring to her.

But can she reveal the clues she discovered in the palace?

Whether it's Shao Cangman's dusty and ugly family affairs, or Pei Wei's subsequent move to ask Shao Cangman to surrender and solve the insider's plot to murder his blood relatives, is this something Pei Wei wants, or rather, makes her say?
Obviously not.

But if not, what "testimony" does he want himself to give?
Everyone in the hall turned their heads slightly to look left and right, wanting to see who discovered this in advance.

Naturally, some people doubted Pei Peng. After all, among Pei Wei's brothers and sisters, she was the only one who could be regarded as having a good relationship with Pei Wei.

But there are even more suspicions about the families of the concubines in the harem. This is even more reasonable speculation. If they surrender, their daughter will be more favored and give birth to a prince earlier.

Among these families, the Wang family is undoubtedly the most suspected existence. Wang Shu is the queen, and if she gives birth to a prince, she is almost a sure-fire prince. As the mother clan of the future emperor, it is easy to maintain prosperity for decades.

Therefore, the Wang family seems to have more reason to charge for Pei Wei.

Amid everyone's speculation, the evidence and witnesses of the rebellion were gradually brought forward.

There are letters, and there are private seals on them.

There are also records of buying a large amount of kerosene, and the person who was brought up with the records is a merchant with a big belly.

He had already been scared out of his wits. Although he knew that there must be something wrong with buying dangerous goods in large quantities, he thought that as long as he didn't know about it, he didn't count as participating in the conspiracy.

But his mind was clouded by his interests, and he even forgot that, as a merchant, no matter whether he was really involved in illegal activities or not, he would definitely be pushed out as a scapegoat, or become a tool for the nobles to attack each other.

Commander Shao felt sorry for him and told him this in private.

Therefore, he must catch the person with the highest status who can bear all the charges.

It is true that he is a merchant, but it does not mean that he can only bear the blame of others, but cannot drag those nobles off the horse.
