This incident really has a huge impact.

What happened in Beizawa can no longer be contained by paper. Now it is like a spark, burning the plains. His Majesty knew about the dirty things that happened in Beizawa. He was furious and issued three decrees in succession, sending out soldiers to go. Catch the Yang family.

It didn't take long for all the Yang family members to arrive in the capital. Of course, they didn't just walk there, but were humiliatingly escorted by soldiers and put directly into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

Because this matter is so serious, no one dares to treat it casually.

As soon as the Yang family members entered the prison, they began to interrogate overnight.

In the end, the head of the Yang family revealed all these things.

How did the local magistrate collude with him, how did he shamelessly amass money, how did he harm the people, and how did he become a local emperor in Beize.

Each of these...are almost all challenges to His Majesty who is currently on the throne.

Right at the emperor's feet, the Yang family dared to do such a stupid thing, they simply didn't take him seriously.

However, there is one more important thing.

After the Yang family had shaken out all the officials, they had not forgotten anyone.

That is Prince Yong'an.

They said: Prince Yong'an colluded with them. During this period, they annexed land and enslaved the people in Beize, and most of the money went into the pockets of Prince Yong'an.

This is no small matter.

Pei Shuo, who had just come out of the Dali Temple prison, was put into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment again because of a few words from these people.

However, Pei Shuo was relatively calm.

Because he knew that he still had a chance to make a comeback.

He looked at the Minister of Punishment and said loudly: "The people of the Yang family are just throwing dirty water on me. Although I have an affair with the eldest girl of the Yang family, can I have such a bold collusion with them?"

"Pei Shuo! Most of the money we made went into your pocket, and now you want to cut off the relationship with us. It's not that simple, let me tell you!" The head of the Yang family was itching with hatred.

However, Pei Shuo sneered: "Who knows if you are in a hurry and seek medical treatment, biting people here? Besides, what evidence do you have that I colluded with you?"

The head of the Yang family was suddenly speechless.

Pei Shuo is quite capable, and he knows that this matter is a big deal, so in the past when he accepted bribes from the head of the Yang family, he would go through many detours and use others to take over the money, so the money from the Yang family, The most we can do after searching is to find the middleman.

Nothing to do with him.

"Lord Shangshu, you see, these people can't produce any evidence that I colluded with them."

"Can I think they are slandering me?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment glanced at Pei Shuo and sneered: "That's just your family's remarks. Whether there is collusion or not, our Ministry of Punishment will know what the situation is after investigating. But before that, the prince is now in the jail of the Ministry of Punishment." I feel so wronged."

Pei Shuo's expression changed and he said loudly: "No! I am an accompanying general who has been ordered by His Majesty to go to the border. You can't just detain me here!"

"...Really?" Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice curled his lips and stared at him: "Then do you know that His Majesty has ordered a thorough investigation into this matter now. You are inseparable from this matter. You want to leave now. After all, I’m afraid it’s not that simple, right?”

"..."

Pei Shuo gritted his teeth, then thought of an idea, and continued to say sarcastically: "How do you know they are not biting people randomly? If they slander me, are you delaying His Majesty's decision-making? Do you really want to find out? I, then you should get His Majesty’s imperial edict now. As long as His Majesty says that I can be imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishments, then I have nothing to say.”

But how is this possible?

Without evidence, His Majesty will never let Pei Shuo stay.

Because of a very simple reason.

Pei Shuo couldn't go to the border, so he had to let Ye Feng go to the border alone, which meant that the Marquis of Dingguo who was stationed at the border would have another general.

This is the first time that the Minister of Punishment has been threatened like this.

But looking at the situation in front of him, he really had no way to deal with Pei Shuo. What Pei Shuo said was true.

"Why aren't you talking? You came here to arrest the noble son at will without His Majesty's decree. Do you know that you are being unreasonable now?" Pei Shuo raised his eyebrows and asked with his chest crossed.

The Minister of Punishment stared at Pei Shuo, knowing that he must not let Pei Shuo go here.

If Pei Shuo left, then everything would really be in chaos.

but……

There is always a saying that goes like this, there is no perfect path for everyone. Just when the Minister of Punishment was thinking about what to do next, soon... a piece of good news arrived.

"Master Shangshu, someone wants to see you!"

"Who?"

Who would come to the Ministry of Justice at this time? Isn’t this a joke?

"The eldest girl of the Yang family, Yang Yan."

"what?"

Only then did the Minister of Punishment remember that there was another Yang Yan who had not been arrested by the Punishment Ministry. Because Yang Yan had a miscarriage before, she had been recuperating at Ye's house. The Punishment Ministry planned to let her go once Yang Yan's situation stabilized. And go to jail.

But I didn't expect that Yang Yan would come by herself at this time?

Hearing the word Yang Yan, Pei Shuo, who was standing aside, turned cold unconsciously. It was probably not a good thing for this dead woman to appear at this time.

"In that case, let her come in."

Yang Yan's sudden appearance may be a turning point.

As soon as the order from the Minister of Punishment was issued, Yang Yan was quickly brought in.

Pei Shuo stared at Yang Yan's figure and found that Yang Yan didn't even look at him. His heart skipped a beat, fearing that the person who came was not a good person.

Yang Yan said: "I have met Master Shangshu."

When the head of the Yang family saw Yang Yan, he immediately shouted: "Yan'er, are you okay..."

Yang Yan did not look at the head of the Yang family, but knelt down in front of the Minister of Punishment, took something out of her arms and raised it above her head.

"Master Shangshu, I'm here to report Pei Shuo."

"You want to report Pei Shuo?"

The Minister of Punishment showed a surprised expression, what is going on?

Yang Yan nodded, looked back at Pei Shuo aside, showed a nasty smile and said: "I have evidence in my hand that he colluded with my Yang family! This evidence can prove that he collected money from our Yang family. A bribe from the family! He is definitely not innocent!"

Pei Shuo lost his voice and said: "Yang Yan, you are crazy!"

Yang Yan clutched the evidence in her hands and laughed and said: "Yes, it is indeed crazy. My family has become like this, and you still want to distance yourself from the relationship. Pei Shuo, how can such a good thing happen?"

Yang Yan is not such a person. Pei Shuo looked at the hatred in Yang Yan's eyes. He trembled, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Did Yelan, did Yelan ask you to come!"
