After Wearing a Book, I Pampered Five Big Villains

  Chapter 445 The truth emerges

   After a while, a court lady walked into the room timidly. When she saw Xun Huan sitting in the hall, she was so frightened that her legs gave way and she immediately knelt down.

  Xun Huan immediately put on a kind look to appease: "You don't have to be afraid, Hei Sanfat will not pick your bridal chamber."

  However, he looked like a wolf in sheep's clothing. Instead of calming the girl, he made her tremble with fright.

  Pei Yi couldn't see it, and said softly, "What Xun Sijie said is the truth. If you tell the truth about the case now, no one will do anything to you."

   It's strange to say that Pei Yi is obviously on the same side as Xun Huan, but the palace lady thinks that Pei Yi looks very kind, and subconsciously thinks that Pei Yi is a good person, but she is soothed by Pei Yi's few words.

   Commander Sun deliberately put on a coercive posture, and said with a calm face: "Hurry up and explain the case."

   This court lady is Zhou Jieyu's personal court lady, and Zhou Jieyu usually does not avoid her when doing anything, so it can be said that she is regarded as a confidant.

  However, the irony is that this personal maid did not have any loyalty. In order to avoid torture and "black dog punishment", she directly pleaded guilty.

   Now, the little palace lady knelt on the ground tremblingly, repeating what she had already explained under the interrogation by the inner guard, but at the end she added: "The child Zhou Jieyu conceived should belong to the Fourth Prince..."

  One stone starts a thousand waves.

  Commander Sun's face was full of surprise and suspicion, and he asked, "Why didn't you explain this just now?!"

  Xun Huan, Xiao Junji, and Huo Yuan also suddenly became serious, just like the three terrifying evil gods.

  The maid shrank her shoulders in fright at the men's sudden attack, and said with a mournful face: "I was so scared just now, I forgot to mention this."

   Xun Huan smiled and said: "Then you are not afraid now? Your testimony will be the same after a while, who would dare to believe you?"

  The court lady looked like she was about to cry, with tears glistening in her eyes.

  She looked at Pei Yi weepingly, then lowered her head, and whispered coyly: "With Mr. Pei here, I am not so afraid, and the matter is almost remembered."

  The faces of all the men became strange.

   Commander Sun looked narrowly at Pei Yi, and teased, "Your Majesty Pei deserves to be Tanhua Lang. As soon as you step out, the little maid will stop calling herself."

  Pei Yi smiled awkwardly, she really did not expect such a situation.

  She looked down at the little maid kneeling on the ground, and asked with a solemn voice: "Since you said that Zhou Jieyu's child belongs to the Fourth Prince, do you have evidence?"

   "Yes." The little maid nodded and said.

  Compared to the other men, Pei Yi is really kind.

  The little maid suddenly relaxed a little bit, and was guided by Pei Yi to explain more important things slowly.

"...the fourth prince gave Zhou Jieyu a jade belt." The little maid whispered, "Zhou Jieyu has been keeping it carefully. After the fourth prince passed away, Zhou Jieyu asked the slave to burn the jade belt. But the slave thought about it." This jade belt was the only thing the fourth prince left for Zhou Jieyu, so he secretly decided to keep it."

  Xiao Junji picked up the bowl of tea and flicked it lightly. His long and narrow Danfeng eyes cast a sidelong glance at the little maid, and said sarcastically, "You're just looking for money, so you don't want to part with that jade belt, do you?"

  The little palace maid was told her mind, and her face turned red.

  Pei Yi didn't pay attention to such details. She asked, "Where is that jade belt now?"

  The little palace lady explained everything in detail.

   Commander Sun said with a cold face: "A belt may explain something, or it may not explain anything."

  The little palace lady anxiously defended: "What I said is true! This jade belt really belongs to the fourth prince! The commander-in-chief can check it."

   Commander Sun opened his mouth to refute, but he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he thought of the presence of the third prince.

   Seeing his embarrassment, Pei Yi thought about it and spoke for him: "It's too hasty to convict a belt. Who knows if you used dirty tricks to deceive the fourth prince on purpose?"

   Commander Sun glanced at Pei Yi gratefully, but in fact, what he wanted to say was almost the same.

  That day, a group of their internal guards found a **** belt in Shuyi Palace—it belonged to the Third Prince.

  Afterwards, they took their belts and went to interrogate Zhou Jieyu, but Zhou Jieyu confessed.

  Thus, the Neiwei Mansion convicted the third prince in this way.

  Nowadays, court ladies say they have belts.

  Their Neiwei Mansion has already suffered a loss, how dare they settle the case with a belt?

"No! I didn't cheat!" The little palace maid looked up at Pei Yi and assured her eagerly, "Lord Pei, I can swear to God that everything I said today is half false, and I will be struck by lightning that day! "

  Xiao Junji gave the little maid a cold gouging look, and teased, "If the swearing and swearing works, how many people would have died in this world."

  Pei Yi thought so, she said calmly: "Girl, if you want to win people's trust, you have to show more evidence. If you only have one belt, it won't make sense in front of His Majesty."

  She spoke in such a soft voice, which made the little maid feel a sense of irony.

  The little palace maid knelt on the ground and thought hard for a long time, then suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said happily: "I remembered..."

  After hearing this, everyone agreed that this piece of evidence was indeed very useful.

   Commander Sun asked someone to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and asked the little maid to write the confession and sign it.

  But Pei Yi kept an eye on her and deliberately told her: "Don't write down the evidence you gave at the end on the pleadings. After His Majesty summons you, you can honestly state the truth to His Majesty."

   In the midst of the panic, the little palace maid felt an unspeakable sense of trust in this handsome Tanhua Lang who was willing to look pleasant to her, and immediately nodded in response.

   After the confession was written, Pei Yi and the others checked it out and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it, then Commander Sun presented it to the old emperor in person.

  Xiao Junji cast a sad look at the little maid who was still kneeling on the ground, and then followed Pei Yi out of Shuyi Palace.

   "Sanlang is really cute." Xiao Junji teased eccentrically, "I think that little maid probably has a crush on you."

   These words really spoke out Xun Huan's heart. He was also very dissatisfied and said: "I'm definitely attracted to it. When we asked the little palace lady, she was trembling and trembling when she spoke. When Saburo asked her, she explained everything clearly."

  Huo Yuan also wanted to complain about this matter, but given the importance of handling the case now, he put away his complaints.

  Pei Yi cast a gloomy glance at these men who had knocked over the pot of jealousy, and said indifferently: "As long as you respect these girls half as much as I do, they will also explain things to you in every detail."
