Chapter 33
Chi Yinan also realized the seriousness of the matter. Although the General's Mansion was easy to talk about, if the emperor found out about Chi Lianxue in public, her life would be over, and the entire Chi family might be affected.

"Now that the matter has come to this, let's think of a way. Auntie, keeping Lingxue is the most important thing right now."

Mrs. Chen burst into tears and was so angry that she could not speak. She was a sharp-tongued person, and although she often lectured Chi Lianxue and Chi Yinan, it was because she cared, otherwise who would care!
Besides, Xie Yan and she were still close friends, and she couldn't do anything to let her watch Chi Lianxue die.

"We have to find that person before the Emperor and kill him..." Chi Yinan made a killing gesture on his neck with gloomy eyebrows.

Mrs. Chen rubbed her temples as she accepted Xia Chi Yinan's decision.

"Sister, please stop crying, wipe your tears, and don't be seen by others when you go out."

Emperor Yuan Jing and Mrs. Xie agreed to hand over the matter to Pei Qingci. There were still a lot of government affairs to deal with in the palace, so they left early, just in time to let him see Pei Qingci's methods.

Originally, the prince wanted to take over, but the queen and the grand master stopped him, scolding him for not being able to see the situation clearly.

Feng Xu was the prince, and the one who was assassinated was the daughter of a general who held military power. He stood up so actively, so there was no guarantee that Emperor Yuan Jing would not suspect the prince's intentions.

It is a big taboo to win over the heroes of the DPRK.

"Everyone, until the assassin is caught, everyone here is suspected, so I will wrong you for the time being." Ling Su took a step forward and relayed Pei Qingci's words.

Although everyone was dissatisfied, they could only endure it. At this time, Pei Qingci's words also represented the emperor's words.

Pei Qingci narrowed his peach blossom eyes and noticed that two people in the crowd looked a little strange and were looking around for something. He did not say anything, but just asked the guards to pay attention to their movements.

After an unknown amount of time, everyone could hardly wait any longer. Everyone was pampered and pampered. Now they were hungry and tired. They had never experienced such treatment.

On the other hand, Pei Qingci has been standing like this, motionless.

Fortunately, when they could no longer hold on, Ling Su walked out of the forest carrying a person.

The man was covering one arm, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, as if he had been beaten severely. Ling Su threw the man to the ground.

There was an exclamation from the crowd: "Isn't this the son of Shangshu? Isn't he the murderer?" Everyone whispered to each other.

"Master, this is the person who assassinated Miss Gu."

Zhao Hongzhan was beaten so hard that he couldn't even utter a retort.

Pei Qingci's eyes fell on him, and Ling Su quickly waved his hands and said, "Master, it was not the subordinate who beat him like this on purpose. It was him who rolled down the cliff and refused to admit it, so the subordinate beat him."

Ling Su's dry voice still revealed grievance.

"My son! Who beat my son so cruelly like this!" The two people who looked strange just now rushed out of nowhere and pounced on Zhao Hongzhan.

Zhao Hongzhan groaned when the wound was pressed, and ignored the pain. Seeing his parents, he felt emboldened.

"Father! Mother! It's him! It was this damn guard who beat my son like this! You must help my son seek justice!"

Mrs. Shangshu bared her teeth and rushed towards Ling Su: "How dare you, a little piece of shit guard, hurt my son! If my son has three long and two short heads, your ten heads are not enough to deal with it!"

The whispers among the crowd were particularly obvious. Madam Shangshu had been blessed with a son for a long time. She doted on her son as much as she could, for fear of bumping into him.

Now that he was beaten like this by a guard, how could he just let it go?

In particular, Mrs. Zhao was famous for being shrewd. At that time, people laughed at her for being an old clam, but she still gave birth to the child regardless of the obstruction. It was not easy for Mr. Pei Xiaohou to deal with her.

If Ling Su knew what everyone was thinking, he would laugh like crazy. No matter how powerful Mrs. Zhao was, his master was not a vegetarian.Pei Qingci took off his finger and threw it casually, hitting Mrs. Zhao on the forehead.

She felt the pain and touched it with her hands, but she only felt a patch of warmth. When she saw her hands full of blood, her eyes blurred.

Zhao Shangshu pulled his wife behind him: "Master Hou, don't go too far!"

Pei Qingci's original indifference instantly faded away, and a cold glint suddenly appeared in his peach blossom eyes: "Excessive? Why didn't the minister say it was too much when he ordered the young master to assassinate the powerful young lady?"

"Pfft." Someone in the crowd couldn't help laughing when they heard the words "powerless."

Are you sure this is Gu Qingyuan?

Regardless of whether Zhao Hongzhan really hurt Gu Qingyuan, the debt was settled on Zhao Hongzhan the moment he took action.

"Your Majesty is not young yet. He only spends his days eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling. Now he has hurt the hero's daughter. People have to pay the price for what they have done, right?"

Fu Huaian suddenly stood up.

Zhao Shangshu was stunned. It was undeniable that what Fu Huaian said was right.

If it weren't for the boldness of the son he and his wife pampered all day long, how could he have made a big mistake today, but he quickly convinced himself.

"That has nothing to do with it. Now that my son has been beaten like this, Lord Marquis, please tell me what to do."

The low pressure emanating from Pei Qingci enveloped his whole body, and the words he spoke out from his lips were as cold as ice: "What should we do? Since the minister asked me what to do, let's get up and count the charges for the assassination. "

Zhao Shangshu was also a little panicked at this moment: "Who, who said that my son did the assassination! There are so many people who want to kill Gu Qingyuan, why did the Marquis just insist on it?"

People who were watching the show quietly heard this and understood that he was trying to drag them into trouble.

"Shang Shu, what you said is wrong. There are so many people who want to kill Miss Gu. If General Gu hears this, you will suffer. Don't get involved with us if you want to die."

"Besides, we don't think there's anything wrong with Miss Gu. She's just a bit arrogant, but it's normal for a daughter's family to be arrogant."

"You... you..." None of the colleagues I had good friends with in the past were willing to stand up.

Whoever dares to stand up now is no different from seeking death. That is to say, Zhao Shangshu is still insisting. Zhao Hongzhan's assassination of Gu Qingyuan is a definite matter. The Zhao family is afraid that it will collapse.

"Stop talking nonsense, my ears are about to get calluses." Pei Qingci sneered and glanced over with his narrow eyes: "Ling Su, you picked on his hands and feet."

This move shocked everyone present, and they did not expect that Pei Qingci would dare to lynching in public.

Mrs. Zhao ignored her bleeding forehead and rolled around trying to protect Zhao Hongzhan: "Get away! Get away! No one is allowed to touch my son!"

At this time, Zhao Hongzhan almost fainted from fright. The young master wanted to stand up and stop him, but his father held him down. He was crazy for daring to stand up now.

In full view of everyone, Ling Su raised and lowered the knife, and Zhao Hongzhan's right hand tendon was severed. He even muttered: "Oh, my hand is shaking a little after I haven't had a tendon in a long time. I'm sorry."

Listening to Zhao Hongzhan's screams, people got goosebumps. All the timid ladies turned their backs and couldn't bear to watch anymore.

Chi Lianxue was shaking like chaff, and even Gu Liangyue couldn't help but frown.
