The Notre Dame system is arrogant again

Chapter 368 What is the situation

Duan Pei looked at his father in horror, not daring to open his mouth.

Lord Rong came to the dead Pearl and looked down.

"Is she Pearl?"

"Yes."

Duan Li replied in a low voice, his voice seemed to be suppressing something.

Pearl's face was pale and bloodless, her tongue stuck out, but her expression was very serene. She was covered with a white robe, her arms and legs were bare, covered with wounds, whips, scalds, and countless needle holes, all of which were New, anyone can see what happened to this woman before she died.

But Lord Rong is not interested in this, he just turned his head and said to Duan Pei.

"You said you were with her that night?"

Duan Pei shuddered before responding that he was talking about him, so he hurriedly said.

"...Yes, I was with her, but then I woke up and was lying on the street for some reason."

"Then you did the injury on her body?"

In order to prove that he is indeed with Zhu Er, Duan Pei nodded repeatedly because his reputation for abusing prostitutes is nothing compared to finding out Duan Li.

"Yes, I did it, and she still has it on her chest!"

As he said, he stepped forward and tore off Zhu Er's robe, pointing to the large and small wounds on it, Duan Pei introduced what he used to make it.

Duan Li couldn't take it anymore and shouted loudly.

"Enough!" Go up and cover the clothes for Zhu'er, "Master Pei, do you think you are a hero to a girl like this?"

Duan Pei laughed nervously.

"Distressed? Haha, don't pretend to be a good person here. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't treat her like this! I just hurt her, but you killed her!"

"Shut up both of you." Prince Rong said lightly, "Go to the side."

Duan Pei didn't dare to disobey, so he hurriedly got up and stepped aside, Duan Li also stepped aside.

Lord Rong squatted down, put on Zhu'er's wrist, lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, turned his head and gave instructions, and an old man came after a while.

The old man's face was haggard, and his eyes were particularly cold.

He came to Prince Rong to salute.

"My lord, did you call your subordinates to come down?"

"Let's see how she died?" Prince Rong gestured to Zhu'er.

The old man nodded and came over to check it carefully.

"It was suicide by hanging."

This time Duan Pei didn't go crazy enough to jump up and say it was impossible, but just stared at Duan Li fiercely.

But Duan Li didn't look at him, but just looked at Zhu'er with compassion on his face.

The old man over there is still talking.

"...Seeing so many injuries on her body, I think she may have chosen to commit suicide because she couldn't stand the pain."

"Is it gone?" Lord Rong asked again.

The old man was stunned for a moment, checked again, and opened the mouth of the deceased, with surprise in his eyes, he suddenly looked at Lord Rong.

Prince Rong showed no expression, pointing at Duan Peidao.

"Look at him again."

The old man took the order and walked towards Duan Pei.

Duan Pei felt a little bad and took a step back.

"What are you going to do?"

"Don't be afraid, son, I just checked your body, but you have been poisoned by something."

Duan Pei stretched out his hand in doubt.

The old man felt his pulse for a while, with a serious expression on his face, he asked about Duan Pei's symptoms again, as if he had confirmed something, he nodded to Prince Rong.

"Are you sure?" Lord Rong asked again.

"I'm [-]% sure, and the rest is [-]%. I still need to try it in two or three days." The old man said with some difficulty.

Duan Pei felt that they should be talking about himself, but it didn't sound like a good word, so he couldn't help asking.

"Father, what are you talking about?"

Lord Rong sent him to the study to wait temporarily, and then ordered:

"Send this corpse to the Beijing Yamen and ask them to deal with it."

"Yes." The people below quickly carried Pearl away.

Duan Li also wanted to go, but was left behind by Lord Rong.
"Accompany Mr. Yi to Duan Pei's yard. Mr. Yi knows how to do it. Call more reliable people. Don't forget to lock up all the girls and servants in his yard."

Duan Li was stunned for a moment, and then responded.

"Yes."

Just about to turn around.

Lord Rong suddenly said again.

"By the way, I will also check the son's yard."

Duan Li was even more surprised, but he left without asking any questions.

This period was the most difficult in Duan Pei's life.

He was the only one in the study, and every time he wanted to come out of the study, but seeing Prince Rong standing in the yard with his back on his back, he retreated back.

He sat down and got up restlessly, got up and moved around, thinking about what just happened, forcing himself to calm down.

He said the wrong thing, the last thing he should have said was Duan Li killing the prince and blaming him, so that what he said before was completely lost in convincing.

Also, he shouldn't have caused Pearl's injuries himself, so that people think that Pearl's death was due to his abuse.

He was too impatient, no, he was too scared!

He was too afraid of Lord Rong. He lost his position under such a strange situation. If he did it all over again, he wouldn't say that.

But who would have thought that Duan Wen died suddenly!

When Duan Wen was murdered and became disabled, some people doubted him. After all, he was the most likely to change his son.

Whoever is the biggest beneficiary is the murderer, this truth is known to ordinary people, let alone Prince Rong.

But it really wasn't him. At that time, he was a bastard who had no ambition to win the world. He just wanted to sit safely in his Prince Rong's mansion, Mr. Pei.

It was only after Duan Wen was abolished that he had this idea, but he never had the guts to use the method of killing Duan Wen to make himself superior.

All he thought was that his father would hand over the position of son to him.

But at this time, Duan Wen was suddenly killed!
How could he not be afraid, with Prince Rong's personality, if he was determined to have killed him, he would be killed, he couldn't even think about it.

So he was panicked when he heard the news, so he said the wrong thing and did the wrong thing.

Damn prostitute, how dare you frame me!

Duan Pei determined that Duan Li did it. Although he still couldn't figure out the specifics, this conclusion was absolutely correct.

He thought about how to redeem his mistake, and convinced his father and king that it was all done by Duan Li, and fell asleep unconsciously.

This day has been too exciting, the body is already weak and the spirit is exhausted, and this sleep is extraordinarily heavy.

It seemed that someone was moving him and talking in his sleep, but he couldn't wake up no matter how hard he tried, and couldn't move no matter how hard he struggled, he just fell asleep more and more deeply.

Until a sudden chill hit, the drowsiness disappeared suddenly, and he suddenly opened his eyes.

Dim lights, floating veils, and a faint fragrance permeated the air.

What is this place?
He wanted to sit up, only to feel that there was a soft bed under him, not a hard kang...

By the way, am I not in my father's study?
How come here?

Just as he was thinking, he saw a person in front of the bed, holding a teapot in his hand, pouring water on his face, it was cold tea, and it was because of this that he woke up.

After careful identification, it turned out to be Duan Li.

You son of a bitch, you've made me miserable!

He wanted to rush over, but his body was so heavy that he couldn't move. Only then did he realize that he couldn't move, and he couldn't even speak.

"Are you awake? Mr. Pei?"

He heard Duan Li say so.
