stern wife

Chapter 393
Pei Xiaoran's guess was right, the Cao family father and son really came up with this method to put her to death in order to prevent her from completing the task.

However, have they ever thought that while killing her, countless innocent people would also die because of it?
Cao Tailai has been an official for many years, so he must be much smarter than her. She can think of this, and he can definitely think of it.

But he still did such things as stealing food.

This means that in his eyes, those innocent lives are nothing at all.

Pei Xiaoran's heart was overflowing with murderous aura, but his face remained calm. He looked at the Cao family father and son, and asked:

"What else can you two say?"

Cao Tailai confidently said:

"Pei Xiaoran, who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to judge us? How do you know if all these people were bribed by you to frame us and others! The Holy One only gave you the power to order us to wait, but not you The power to kill innocent people indiscriminately! If you dare to touch me and Huimin today, you will definitely regret it in the future!"

Cao Huimin even jumped on his feet and cursed:

"Pei Xiaoran, I think you are avenging your own personal revenge! Isn't it because I have a crush on your second sister? You, a narrow-minded concubine girl, are afraid that your second sister will have a good life after marrying me as a concubine, so you obstruct me and your second sister in every possible way. For the matter of my sister, you still have a grudge against me, avenging your personal revenge! This is definitely a personal revenge!"

Although he couldn't understand what kind of nonsense Cao Huimin was talking about, his words were undoubtedly ruining Pei Yutong's reputation.

Pei Xiaoran's eyes darkened, and his calm and peaceful face suddenly changed.

Her family is her bottom line that must never be touched. Unfortunately, there are always some people who are not afraid of death come to seek death.

Pei Yanhe was also very angry, and cursed back:

"What are you? Are you worthy of my second sister? Xiao Ruan refuses to let my second sister marry you, that's for my second sister's sake! How many women have you played with? You know in your heart that if my second sister really marries You, how can you still have a good life? You shameless shameless person doesn't reflect on himself, but you dare to say that my sister is narrow-minded, let's see how I can kill you!"

With that said, Pei Yanhe began to roll up his arms and sleeves, ready to step forward to give that nonsense thing some color.

Pei Xiaoran raised his hand to stop him, and said coldly:

"The evidence is convincing, Mr. Cao and Mr. Cao don't need to argue anymore. Of course, His Majesty will not grant anyone the right to kill innocent people indiscriminately, but—"

Her icy eyes swept over the faces of Cao Tailai and Cao Huimin, and at that moment, Cao Tailai, an old fritter who had been in the officialdom for many years, couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in his heart——

Pei Xiaoran smiled slowly, and continued:

"However, the Holy Majesty gave me the right to kill first and play later. Mr. Cao and Mr. Cao were also present at that time, so you must not have forgotten it?"

Cao Huimin was startled, lost his voice and said:
"What do you want to do?!"

Pei Xiaoran said:

"You ordered your subordinates to bribe the driver to steal food and grass, and ignore the lives of the people affected by the disaster. You deserve death! As an official of the imperial court, but knowing that you broke the law, it is even worse! This kind of thing, no matter which adult you hand it over , I am afraid there is only one verdict, Mr. Cao, don't worry, I will not avenge my personal revenge publicly, I will judge whatever the grown-ups decide."

Cao Huimin's face turned pale, and he immediately tried to turn his head, looking at his father for help.

Cao Tailai was angry and hated, and said angrily:
"You have no right to kill me!"

Pei Xiaoran pointed to the Shangfang sword hanging on his waist, and said:

"Of course the little girl is not qualified, but the Holy One should be, right?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the Cao family father and son to argue again, she raised her voice and ordered:

"Tie these two people into ponytails, drag them along the main road in the city, and apologize to all the people in the city! After death, hang the corpse above the city gate for everyone to see, what will happen if you go against the people!"

After hearing that the masterminds behind the scenes were actually Cao's father and son, the soldiers were already furious, and immediately responded loudly:

"Yes!"

Seeing that Pei Xiaoran dared to attack them, the Cao family's father and son immediately panicked, but before they could figure out how to deal with them, they were tied with a rope by the soldiers, tied to the ponytail, and dragged away.

"Pei Xiaoran! You must die! You must die——!"

In the distance, Cao Tailai's hoarse roar could still be heard.

Pei Xiaoran turned a deaf ear to it, and asked people to bury the bodies of several coachmen on the spot, while the rest of the coachmen pushed them onto the carriage of Cao's father and son, preparing to be witnesses when they returned.

Then, he broke camp and set off, taking one hundred thousand stones of grain and grass towards the fiefdom of King Li of the Great Yin.

As for the fact that the people of Beicheng named Pei Xiaoran, who dared to severely punish the father and son and borrowed food and grass to rescue the people, as a 'goddess' after they learned of the crimes of the Cao family and his son, that's something for another time, let's not mention it for now.

Great Yin, Li Wang fiefdom.

Baili Lieyuan didn't expect Pei Xiaoran to chase back the lost food and grass so quickly, and not a lot of them.

Of course, he wasn't doubting the other party's ability, it's just that the other party's ability was always beyond his expectations.

Baili Lieyuan didn't talk nonsense, and asked people to take away all the food and grass returned by Pei Xiaoran, and then invited Pei Xiaoran and his party to go up the mountain to rest for a while, and talk about what Pei Xiaoran promised him when he borrowed food.

His Royal Highness Li's beauty is unquestionable, but after the initial shock, Pei Yanhe, who always liked to see beauties, felt that this prince was not pleasing to his eyes.

It stands to reason that the other party's willingness to lend food to his sister is equivalent to saving his sister's life, and he should be grateful.

But how to put it...

Probably because the other party looks too evil, he always feels that the other party has some malicious intentions...

And there is a kind of...the illusion that he will take away his most precious things at any time...

Looking at a certain prince in front of him who was talking happily with his baby sister, Pei Yanhe touched his chin with some discomfort, then stepped forward two steps faster, and squeezed between the two of them.

He took one of his sister's little hands, and quickly changed the subject:

"Xiaoran, I'm hungry."

His Royal Highness Li Wang, who was 'accidentally' squeezed away from Pei Xiaoran's side, narrowed his beautiful eyes dangerously when he looked at this handsome but reckless guy.

If it weren't for this guy's blood relationship with Pei Xiaoran, he would probably be a corpse by now.

Looking at his fourth brother who suddenly appeared, Pei Xiaoran was startled, then smiled and said:
"Didn't fourth brother hear that just now? His Royal Highness Li Wang has ordered his servants to prepare food and drinks for us."

"Huh? Is it?"

Pei Yanhe looked surprised, he was only thinking about his own thoughts, but he really didn't hear this.

"Well," Pei Xiaoran nodded with a smile, then turned to look at Baili Lieyuan, and thanked again:

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your hospitality."
