The general's wife through time

Before Shangguan could ask, Xue Tang slowly turned his head and explained calmly: "Those people who were pricked by needles were already like this when we came here. I don't know which knight did it."

Mr. Li stepped forward and inspected it carefully before walking up to Shangguan Xun and lowering his voice: "Judging from the technique, he is a needlework man."

Qin Mingqi lowered his head and frowned when he heard the words "Needle Thread Man" again. Why hadn't he noticed before that the name Shangguan gave him casually was so unpleasant? Compared to his sister-in-law's knight-errant Feishuang, it was simply unpalatable.

Shangguan Xun looked around and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it. He could only say to the officials following behind him: "Take them all back and interrogate them carefully!"

"Yes!"

Mrs. Pei hurriedly said: "To arrest someone, you have to provide evidence. Sir Shangguan has no evidence, so why should you arrest me?"

evidence?

The courtyard is full of witness witnesses, and the newly minted eunuch testifies, isn’t that included?
The ignorant are so fearless!

Shangguan Xun was laughed out of anger. I have seen shameless people before, but this was the first time someone dared to mess around with him.

He nodded, "Okay, let's search first, carefully look for other evidence, see if there are other cases that have happened here, and handle them together."

Qin Mingqi's eyes flashed. Yes, of course there is, he knows, it's in the secret room.

Just as he was about to say that he could lead the way, Xue Tang pulled him in and said, "Young children should not come along to join in the fun. You should not move around and cause trouble to Lord Shangguan."

"Oh." Only then did Qin Mingqi realize that he had been a little hasty. Since his sister-in-law asked him to pretend to be a little white rabbit, then he is the little white rabbit, and the most obedient one. He agreed obediently, took a step back, and stood Xue Tang went behind him.

Pei fell to the ground, a dark light flashing in his eyes. You outsiders wouldn't be able to find her secret room even if you dig three feet into the ground, so what if she hid the body in it?

Capt. Li didn't waste any time. He opened the acupuncture points on Pei's two black-clothed guards and led his men to search.

Of course, the people who know this place best are the people who live here.

Unless you are unable to speak after being pricked by Needle Man's needle, you will naturally answer truthfully whatever you ask.

Pei suddenly thought of Wu in the daytime and the secret guard who told the truth, and her heart skipped a beat. Pain coupled with fear made her vision suddenly darken.

As soon as Li Captou and his men walked to a courtyard wall, the concubine of Lord Gu said: "That's right there. The day before yesterday, Wang Wu was beaten to death for disobedience. His body was brought to that wall and then disappeared. Well, the poisonous woman from the Wang family came over and gave Pei a box of gold ingots because Pei helped eliminate Wang Wu and her son's threat, and Pei took it there and hid it. I saw it from the window. "

Mrs. Pei choked up, "That's nonsense, how could I kill someone? Just because you are the most disobedient, I asked someone to take care of you, and you just slandered me again and again. Mr. Gu, for such a wicked person, If you don’t discipline him well, your Gu family will be implicated by him in the future and you will not end well.”

"That's our Gu family's business, so I don't need you to worry about it." After the Lord Gu said coldly, he slapped his bastard. At this time, it's best not to get involved in this kind of thing. The Qin family, the Pei family, Even the declining Wang family was something he, an idle prince, could not afford to offend.

As soon as he finished speaking, before everyone could react, the guard in black had already pressed the switch of the secret room.

With a roar, the wall moved back three steps, and a long, narrow and deep entrance appeared below, with bursts of cold air coming out of the entrance. The official quickly brought up two boxes of gold and silver jewelry and three corpses from below. Perhaps ice was placed below, so the corpses were well preserved.

Several family heads and concubines froze on the spot, and a chill suddenly ran up their backs. They didn't dare to let out any words, let alone what they said.

Xue Tang also didn't expect that Pei's timidity would dare to kill people and hide their bodies.

Xue Tang felt that this was an unexpected gain and also a kind of sadness.

Pei's gradually growing courage was not only because of the support behind her, but also because of the wives of those aristocratic families who were helping him do evil.

Those ladies from aristocratic families who look glamorous, do they know what they are doing?
There are also those heads of families who are unable to raise or raise children, which is why they give their women the opportunity to commit crimes.

This is a naked trampling of life!
Xue Tang turned around and looked at Shangguan Xun. She knew that this case was a big one for him, a parent official in the capital, because it was not just the murder that was shocking, but also the twisted human nature and corrupted morality behind the murder.

She was originally just here to expose the conspiracy between the Pei family and the evil-hearted matrons of the aristocratic families, so as to remind Emperor Jingkang to pay attention to the Pei family, Xie family, and the Queen Mother. Now it is actually involved in a murder case. No matter what, Shangguan Xun and Emperor Jingkang will not let go of the Pei family, let alone the Pei family, the Xie family and the Queen Mother behind the Pei family.

Her goal this time has been achieved, but she really can't be happy.

She opened her lips slightly, but her tone was still indifferent, "Sir Shangguan, I didn't expect that I would accidentally discover such a shocking thing after being drunk. What happens next..."

Shangguan Xun nodded calmly, "The next matter will be left to the government. I will report it to Your Majesty and handle it carefully. I will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor let a bad person go, including those accomplices hiding in the back house pretending to be quiet. .”

Seeing that she had been exposed, Pei was extremely panicked and even felt the breath of death, but she tried her best to control her emotions.

Xue Tang beat her, and after a few quibbles, nothing happened. She also had to quibble, "No, those things have nothing to do with me, I don't know anything..."

It took her a lot of effort to lobby the wives of those aristocratic families, and she did help them solve real problems, making the back house more peaceful, making everyone in the family prosperous, and making the palace more prosperous. There are a steady stream of new people here, and she is not all doing it to make money. She should not be charged with murder. She is not guilty...

Xue Tang looked at Mr. Pei, and his whole body was instantly filled with murderous aura.

"Sir Shangguan, farewell!" After saying that, she walked towards the door. She couldn't stay any longer, otherwise she would be tempted to kill Mr. Pei on the spot, but that would affect the trial.

Xue Tang took Qin Mingrui and Qin Mingqi out of the door.

Qin Mingrui asked: "Sister-in-law, are you just leaving like this?"

Xue Tang: "Well, let's go home. Qin Lu, go tell Si Wei what's going on here."

Because Pei will get the punishment he deserves when he is in Shangguan Xun's hands, so after calming down, it is no longer important to Xue Tang whether he personally deals with Pei or not. What matters is how to prevent similar things from happening again.

After Xue Tang left, the officials carried away all the people in the yard, whether they were dead or half-dead, along with two boxes of gold and silver that Pei had not squandered and all the money he could bring in the yard. Take away all valuable items. (End of chapter)
