Chapter 83
As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Jiao felt that the atmosphere in the room was a bit stagnant.

In the darkness, she couldn't see Yu Taiqing's face clearly, and she didn't dare to look at it, but she could feel Yu Taiqing's anger and murderous eyes.

This time, she was neither a first-time offender, nor was she forced to do so to punish the monster, but she committed it knowingly and refused to mend it after repeated admonitions, which can be regarded as an aboveboard molestation of him.

Last time, Mrs. Yu was so angry that she was angry, but this time, she might want to tear her apart.

In the darkness, he vaguely saw his figure walking towards her.

At this moment, she actually felt that the prison seemed to be safer.

Hua Jiao took two steps back unconsciously, dodged towards the door and fled, and happened to collide with Pei Ruji who rushed in, she exclaimed, Pei Ruji hastily stretched out his arms to wrap her waist.

Chu Xian lit the torch, picked up the candle lamp that fell on the ground, and lit it.

The faint light illuminated the mess in the room, and the half-burned case files that were soaked in water were scattered on the floor and table.

Several guards packed up carefully.

Yu Taiqing stood in the shadow of the backlight, and a corner of the wide sleeve embroidered with complicated patterns was scorched by the fire at some point, and ashes would fall down with a slight movement.

His sleeves were also wet, and there were drops of water dripping down. He no longer looked like a bright and beautiful man, but a bit embarrassed.

His face was full of shadows, he couldn't see his expression clearly, and he didn't dare to look at the corners.

I just felt that from the strand of his hair to the embroidery thread on the sleeve, and the corner of his clothes, he was exuding a thrilling coldness and fury.

Even the candlelight seems to have infected his emotions, jumping and burning as if frightened, reflecting the light and shadow in the room.

Hua Jiao's heart was beating wildly, she suddenly pushed Pei Ruji away, turned and walked out the door.

Behind him came Yu Taiqing's cold and emotionless voice: "Chu Xian, take Lady Jiang to the prison."

******
The sun had already set and night had fallen.

Most of the demon masters and guards in Tianshu's yamen have already been on duty, only a few guards who are on duty at night are still there, and they are all gathered in Yu Taiqing's duty room to clean up.

Zhang Qian and Li Hou stood in the courtyard with worried expressions on their faces.

The two originally sent Pei Ru to the Peony Garden today, but they didn't follow, so they didn't know what happened in the garden.All he knew was that there was a murder case at the flower banquet, and then he followed Pei Ru to the Tianshu Division.

Originally thought that Pei Ruji would go back home after being questioned, but he insisted on waiting for Miss Jiang to go back together.

A few days ago, Pei Ruji tried his best to divorce Jiang Niangzi, but now that his wish has been fulfilled, the two of them were supposed to stay in harmony with each other, but how could it be that General Pei became warm-hearted instead?
Li Hou stretched his neck to look at Yu Taiqing's guard, and said in a low voice: "Did you see how General Pei rushed into the burning room just now? Have you ever seen General Pei so desperate before?"

Zhang Qian shook his head, touched his chin for a while, and said, "I haven't seen it before. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Could it be... Mrs. Jiang is holding the handle of General Pei. He is afraid that Mrs. Jiang will confess him, so he doesn't rest assured?"

Li Hou nodded in agreement.

The guards rushed in to put out the fire, and when they exited, they escorted Jiang Huajiao out, and vaguely heard that he was going to be escorted to the fierce prison.

Li Hou asked suspiciously again: "What crime did you say a weak little lady committed to be imprisoned?"

Zhang Qian frowned and thought for a while, then said: "A man and a woman are in the room, how could there be a fire? Could it be... Mrs. Jiang is going to set fire to murder Yudujian? Otherwise, how could Yudujian impose such a heavy punishment?"

Li Hou nodded in agreement, and frowned deeply: "She must never implicate General Pei."

Zhang Qian was worried: "I'm afraid it's too late, I think I've already been involved."

I saw Pei Ruji chasing out from the house, the lantern hanging under the eaves poured down a hazy yellow light, casting a shadow on his face.

Pei Ruji raised his unsheathed saber, stopped in front of Chu Xian, raised his eyebrows and said with a bright smile: "Lieutenant Chu, please wait a moment, the general has something to ask the Governor of Yu."

Chu Xian glanced at the saber in Pei Ruji's hand, smiled faintly, and stopped in his tracks.

Pei Ru sent back, cupped his hands towards the room, and said in a cold voice: "Yu Dujian, I don't know what crime Miss Jiang has committed, so I can't help but throw an innocent little lady into the fierce prison without knowing why."

No one in the room answered.

Pei Ruji smiled half-smile, glanced sharply at Chu Xian and the guard who was holding the painting horn, and said, "If Yu Dujian doesn't make it clear today, Pei will have to go to His Majesty to seek justice."

Zhang Qian and Li Hou looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.Unexpectedly, Pei Ruji would go head-to-head with Tianshu.

For a while, the courtyard was full of swords and swords, and the atmosphere was tense.

Hua Jiao was also a little surprised, he didn't expect Pei Ruji to be so loyal, he was moved in his heart, and hurriedly said: "General Pei, don't worry about my affairs, it's better to go back home earlier."

Pei Ruji smiled comfortingly at the corner of the painting: "How can that be done? How can I ignore Mrs. Jiang's accident, not to mention me, even Father would not agree."

"Thank you third brother, I know what you mean, but you really don't need to worry about me." Hua Jiao was a little anxious, she didn't want to involve Pei Ruji, but she couldn't tell Pei Ruji what happened between her and Yu Taiqing.

"What a lover and concubine!" Mrs. Yu walked out of the house with her hands behind her hands.

He had already taken off the robe that had half of the sleeve burned by the fire just now, and put on the official uniform of Tianshu Sidujian, with a sneer on his lips, he stared at Pei Ruji for a few times, and said lightly: "General Pei, Do you know that you are obstructing Tianshu Division's handling of the case."

Seeing this, Zhang Qian and Li Hou stepped forward to stop Pei Ruji, grabbed his arm, and said with a smile: "Yu Dujian, dare not dare, please don't misunderstand, General Pei definitely didn't mean that."

Pei Ruji said in a loud voice: "Yu Dujian, since you are handling the case, why do you want to arrest Mrs. Jiang, and what crime did she commit?"

Mrs. Yu flicked her sleeves, and said leisurely: "General Pei, the case involved by Mrs. Jiang is an important case of Tianshu Division. Please forgive me for not telling outsiders the details. Go back."

After finishing speaking, he turned to Chu Xian and ordered: "Captain Chu, the capital prison is going to bring you into the palace to see him. You should quickly send Mrs. Jiang to the prison, don't delay."

Chu Xian agreed, stretched out his hand to make a seal, and silently recited the mantra.

Pei Ruji wanted to stop him again, but suddenly he couldn't move his hands and feet, and watched the Shu Wei escort Huajiao away.

"Yu Taiqing, you..." Pei Ruji had known for a long time that all the demon masters of Tianshu Sifu knew spells, but he never expected that one day they would use spells on him.

Yu Taiqing sneered coldly, and said: "General Pei, Lady Jiang deserves what she deserves. I advise you not to make matters worse, otherwise, if the matter spreads, it will be even more detrimental to her." After saying that, she sent a message to Pei Ru. Clasping his hands, he took Chu Xian away.
