Chang'an is good

Chapter 65

Yao Yi looked at the girl who stepped forward, and couldn't help feeling very surprised: "Ran'er?"

The two sons and daughters of the second younger brother's family are a little more affectionate, and they seem to have some friendship with the wife of the Chang family. It is understandable to stand up and testify, but his daughter Yao Ran has always been too conformist. How can you stand up now?

Is it because he was rescued by the lady of the Chang family just now?
When Yao Yi was confused, Pei's icy gaze had already turned to his daughter.

Yao Ran silently took a deep breath, and instead of looking at her, looked at Yao Yi and Cui Jing.

Seeing Cui Jing looking over with questioning eyes, Yao Yi came back to his senses, first bowed to the Holy Book Emperor above, and explained: "Your Majesty, this is the little girl Yao Ran."

Emperor Shengji nodded slightly, and had no plans to intervene in the case in a hurry.

Cui Jing who asked the question: "Ms. Yao just said that she recognizes this person?"

"Yes." Yao Ran nodded tremblingly, trying to make her voice sound clear enough: "I have seen this person with my own eyes in my mother's dowry courtyard in Yuchangxinfang!"

There was a moment of silence all around.

Everyone looked at Mrs. Pei.

Yao Ran seemed to be worried that what he said was not clear enough, so he mustered up the courage to point to the strong man, and said in a steady voice: "He belongs to my mother! He has been secretly working for my mother for many years!"

The surroundings suddenly changed from silence to vibration.

"Yao Ran... Do you know what nonsense you are talking about!" Pei's face was frightened, and she looked at her daughter who was usually the most docile in disbelief: "Are you crazy?"

"The crazy person is the mother." Yao Ran looked at her with tears in her eyes, her ten fingers embedded in the flesh of her palm: "This is the second time that my mother has secretly killed the lady of the Chang family!"

As he said this, there were countless surprises around him.

No one expected such a sudden turn of events. Didn't they deliberately sabotage the blessing ceremony? Why did they suddenly become the Yao family's daughter accusing her mother Pei of murdering the Chang family's wife? ——and the second time? !
There are too many points, and everyone feels that they can't react for a while.

Yao Gui was completely dumbfounded.

He was just testifying with his younger sister, why did he suddenly testify against his aunt... He actually testified that his own house collapsed? !

Don't be too weird!
Shocked and flustered, he tried to make some eye contact with his sister, but Yao Xia's expression was almost dull, as if he no longer had the ability to communicate with others.

Chang Suining was also a little surprised.

It's just that her surprise was not the truth that Yao Ran revealed at this time - the strong sword boy recognized the person who killed Zhou Ding that night. She had seen the portrait before, but Jiantong's words could not be used as evidence speak out.

Of course she knew the truth.

She was surprised that Yao Ran would stand up and expose her mother Pei himself.

Judging from the expression, this is probably an extremely subversive thing for Mrs. Pei, and I certainly did not expect the current situation to occur——

In the world, there are many causes and effects.

Regardless of the raging anger in Pei's eyes, Yao Ran's voice continued——

"I heard all the conversation between my mother and Aunt Ye before! As early as the Lantern Festival night, my mother had committed murder by paying for murder, but the lady of the Chang family escaped!"

"It failed once, I thought that even if my mother was cautious, she would not act rashly again, but who would have thought that this time my mother would set up another plan to kill the Chang family's wife again!"

Speaking of this, tears welled up in Yao Ran's eyes uncontrollably.

There is chilling, anger, and self-blame.

She blamed herself for still being lucky before this, thinking that she had kept an eye on her mother yesterday, but she was simply deceiving herself!

She should have known earlier that there was no way her mother could turn back!
She should have stood up long ago—should have stood up when she first learned that her mother had murdered innocent people!
It was her soft heart, selfishness, cowardice and incompetence that made herself an accomplice to her mother!
Mother can't go on wrong, and neither can she!
Pei Shi almost gritted her teeth: "I don't know her before, why did you kill her! It's just nonsense! I think you are really crazy!"

As he spoke, he scolded the servant woman beside him: "Crazy words, out of nowhere, it's really embarrassing... Take her away from here quickly!"

The maid's face was already very serious, and she was about to step forward to take Yao Ran away when she heard the words.

"bass--"

The sharp sword was half ejected from its sheath, Cui Jing held it horizontally in his hand, and stopped Yao Ran in front of him.

His eyes were indifferent and cold, full of deterrence like the light of a sword in his hand, the servant was startled, and subconsciously took two steps back.

"You are simply..." Mrs. Pei was extremely angry, and was about to say something more, but was interrupted by Yao Ran's voice without hesitation——

"Mother and Mrs. Chang were indeed strangers! All of my mother's evil deeds came from my own guessing—suspecting that Mrs. Chang is my father's illegitimate daughter!"

Yao Ran didn't leave any room for what he said: "Mother doesn't want to see father bring him back to the mansion, so she wants to kill him because of this!"

Yao Yi's eyes brightened.

There was a gasp in the crowd.

what? !

Yao Tingwei...an illegitimate daughter? !
How can there be such inside information!
Chang Sui'an clenched his fists... It really was because of this!

Yao Xia's sluggish expression finally changed a bit. She stared blankly at Chang Suining and her uncle, opened her mouth, and almost blurted out "Really?"

Although out of date...

But it really means a lot to her!
Yao Xia was inexplicably excited and grabbed the arm of his elder brother beside him, the pain made the boy grin his teeth.

After all, the most taboo secret was revealed to the public. Pei was so angry that her expression calmed down. She looked at Yao Ran and asked word by word: "Do you know what kind of crime it is to falsely accuse your own mother?"

This idiot knows that with her actions today, her reputation and marriage will be ruined!
"My daughter is guilty of unfilial piety, but it is definitely not a false accusation." For the first time in his life, Yao Ran met his mother's cold gaze without hesitation, and his voice was hoarse but firmer than ever before: "Daughter is at fault, voluntary Accept the consequences...but mother must not go on wrong!"

She should have realized earlier that her mother had been swallowed up by a demon and turned into an evil ghost!
This evil ghost will continue to feed on the flesh and blood of innocent people. In the past, there was a concubine from the Fuzhong, today there is a lady from the Chang family, and there will be others in the future... If no one stops, the mother will never stop!

"How could I have given birth to a lunatic like you!" Sensing the strange gazes from all around, Pei couldn't maintain her calm face, and raised her hand towards Yao Ran.

Yao Yi pulled her daughter behind her.

Mrs. Pei was in vain, staring at Yao Yi with a pair of resentful eyes.

Yao Yi was also looking at her, and asked in a concentrated voice: "Is what Ran'er said true?"

Meeting his eyes, Pei suddenly let out a strange laugh.

"Master, don't you think it's superfluous to ask this question?" She looked at Yao Ran, Yao Xia and Yao Gui one by one with red eyes: "Your Yao family are really vicious in doing things, and they are colluding to frame me like this!"

"Yao Yi, you designed all this painstakingly, isn't it just to get rid of me, so that you and your sweetheart's bastard can be taken back to the mansion in a legitimate way?"

"I will never admit to something I have never done... You can never succeed!"

As she said that, she looked at Yao Ran: "You idiot, you really thought you would obey your father's words and join others in slandering your biological mother... Will you have a good life in the future! Wait until he takes this bastard back, How can there be a place for you in the mansion!"

Seeing her madness, Yao Yi's expression became serious: "Mr. Pei, even now, you still want to bite someone back—"

Mrs. Pei sneered and said: "It's empty talk, even though you are the Minister of Dali Temple, you can't just fabricate accusations for me!"

While she was speaking, her gaze turned, but it fell on Chang Suining.

"Today's matter, you are not clean..." She seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly pulled out a very ironic smile: "Do you really think that you can slander me with your ridiculous farce alone?" ?"

This little bitch was clearly prepared!
But so what?
As long as she refuses to admit it, the Pei family will take care of this matter for her... She is the daughter of the Pei family, and her father will never allow someone to trample on her dignity and reputation like this!

As long as her father comes forward, even if the saint has doubts, it is impossible for her father to refute her father's face because of these vulgar people!

She looked at the girl condescendingly, with a morbid pleasure in her eyes: "You must know that I am the eldest daughter of the Pei family, and I am not allowed to slander and bully you at will!"

Her self-confessed superior status gave her the confidence to look down on everything.

But the girl's face did not show the fear, retreat or powerlessness she expected——

The girl just looked at her quietly, and then asked softly, "Is your surname Pei amazing?"

Pei frowned slightly, and looked at the girl in front of her amusedly—what kind of stupid question is this?

The surname Pei means that you are born superior!
"The Pei family is a bit remarkable." Chang Suining approached her slowly, and said calmly: "That's because the ancestors of the Pei family had talented people who laid down and kept the foundation, but this greatness belongs to them, not yours--"

As the girl spoke, her dark and bright eyes slightly narrowed, revealing a bit of disdain and contempt Pei had never seen before——

"And on the contrary, not only are you nothing special, but you are also a moth who only makes troubles and entangles the clansmen. You even don't have the ability to finish things for yourself after you make troubles."

Pei was furious: "Presumptuous!"

"You bastard of unknown origin, what right do you have to talk to me like that!" She was so furious that she raised her hand to hit the girl's glaring face, but someone grabbed her wrist.

"You crazy woman still wants to hurt my sister!" Chang Suian forcefully shook off the wrist that made him feel cold.

Pei's body was weak, and being pushed and pushed by the powerful young man, he staggered back and almost fell, and had to be supported by the servant girl to barely stand still.

"...It's unreasonable!" She was overwhelmed by a huge sense of humiliation that she had never felt before, and she searched for the crowd with different expressions, and said angrily: "Pei Xiu, you just watch others humiliate you like this!" Is your sister!"

Pei Xiu is Pei Min's son, and her own younger brother is also on this trip.

What about people? !
Mrs. Pei was extremely annoyed for not being able to see her younger brother who could stand up for her.

Where did Pei Xiu go at this time!

Why didn't he stand up and help her out earlier, and let her fall into such a situation of being ridiculed!
Her face is also the face of the entire Pei family!
Seeing her anxious and annoyed expression, Chang Suining's eyes searched with her.

Mr. and Mrs. Pei Xiu...

Just now, she seemed to have seen the couple being called outside to talk by the hurried servant.

And the saint on the altar also saw the departure of Pei Xiu and his wife.

It seems that today is really a coincidence.

Chang Suining turned his gaze to Wei Shuyi who came down from the altar——

A servant came quickly, holding a long box in his hand, and handed it to Wei Shuyi.

As if aware of her gaze, Wei Shuyi raised his eyes and smiled at her knowingly.

"Pei Xiu!" Following another scolding shout from Pei Shi, there was finally a response this time.

"Sister, don't you think it's not ugly enough?"

Pei Xiu appeared in the sight of everyone, his footsteps were as heavy as a thousand catties, and his eyes were red with a look of despair: "If what happened today is really what my sister did, I beg my sister to confess quickly! Don't implicate the family any more. bingo!"

"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Pei looked at him in disbelief: "Are you even crazy!"

Pei Xiu closed his eyes and stopped talking.

After a while, he lifted his robe and knelt down in the direction of the Holy Book Emperor.

The wife behind him was ashen-faced, and also knelt down tremblingly without saying a word.

Pei frowned angrily.

what are they doing?
Plead guilty for her!
Just when she was about to yell, she suddenly heard a young man's voice.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Minister of Rites, Pei Min, confessed last night to accepting bribes, manipulating imperial examinations, colluding with Zhao Fu, the former governor of Hezhou, reselling arms, assassinating imperial envoys, etc., and after pleading guilty, Pei Min hanged himself In prison—this is the confession submitted by the Ministry of Punishment, please have a look at it, Your Majesty."

Wei Shuyi's voice was clear and powerful, and as soon as it spread in the silent surroundings, it caused an uproar.

The head of the Pei family, Pei Min? !
Plead guilty?

Hang yourself!

It's just that he came out of the city and came to Dayun Temple in just two days, how could such a big change happen in the city!

I hadn't even heard of it before!

But the case of assassinating Zhao Fu in Hezhou has indeed been tried for some time...

And Pei Min recently claimed to be sick at home——

Everyone realized it later, and their hearts were shocked.

Looking at the saint above the altar again, some people who were in the same camp as Pei's camp felt a monstrous chill all over their bodies.

At the time of this blessing ceremony, when everyone drove out of the city, the Ministry of Criminal Justice instead of Dali Temple secretly tried the case...

Now Pei Min has confessed, and he has "hanged himself" in prison, leaving only a piece of confession... This matter has never left anyone with a chance to save Pei's family.

As early as the saint ordered Wei Shuyi to secretly go to Hezhou as an imperial envoy to search for evidence of Zhao Fu's crime... everything was already arranged.

"My father has already repented, and I hope His Majesty will show mercy...forgive me, the members of the Pei clan!" Pei Xiu touched his forehead heavily to the ground.

Now that the general situation is over and it is a foregone conclusion, even though he has a lot of unwillingness in his heart, he can only put on such a posture in order to try his best to protect his tribe.

Pei looked at this scene with a pale face, and his lips trembled twice.

Her father... died?
And died in prison?
Her father is the majestic head of the Pei family!

How can it be?

How could this be so!

Such absurd and bizarre thing, even in her dreams, she has never thought of it!
