After rebirth, I became a national teacher

Precisely because it was the truth, the confessions were surprisingly consistent.

It was said that it was Nanny Liu who came to see Zhang, and then Zhang summoned He Wang, and finally the lady gave the two of them business cards and banknotes.

If Pei Xiao had not responded properly, and had not immediately invited the most famous lawyer in Nandu City to respond to the lawsuit after learning that he was summoned for questioning,

The charge of instructing his servants to secretly replace the death row prisoner would be directly charged by Yan Tongzhi.

Fortunately, the lawyer lived up to his reputation, with careful thinking and eloquent speech. After some argument, he seized the loopholes in the maids' words.

First, when Zhang was talking to Madam Liu, there was no one around, so they were not sure why Madam Liu came to see Zhang.

Second, Zhang only instructed Zhang Gui to take care of Liu Ma's affairs, but they didn't know what they were supposed to do.

Zhang Gui was also loyal, and continued to defend Zhang at this time, saying that they had cheated Zhang of the banknotes and business cards under the pretext of other things.

Therefore, even though anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was definitely instigated by Zhang, Yan Tongzhi still could not convict Zhang.

Although the case was won, the reputation of the Jingnan Marquisate was completely ruined among the people.

After the last arson incident, the people were already somewhat dissatisfied with the Jingnan Marquis Mansion.

Although he failed to punish Zhang, at least he could kill a servant in the marquis's mansion to vent his anger.

Who would have known that they would actually rely on the power of the Marquis of Jingnan's Mansion to secretly replace the servant who should have been beheaded.

It's absolutely abominable!

What’s even more hateful is that the matter is already so obvious.

They were able to hire the top lawyer in Southern Capital, and they even managed to get away with it with their eloquence.

The people were extremely indignant!

Besides, the law doesn’t punish everyone, and there were no consequences for smashing Zhang’s last time…

So, even though Pei Xiao's face was frighteningly cold, he was still surrounded by the people and thrown with rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves all over his body and face.

That's right, rotten eggs.

Last time, we were inexperienced and wasted a lot of good eggs and vegetable leaves.

When people heard that Marquis Jingnan was coming to respond to the lawsuit, many people ran home at noon to get rotten eggs and vegetable leaves.

Pei Xiao had never been so humiliated and embarrassed in his entire life. He almost fled from the government office.

Even after returning to the Marquis' Mansion and washing again and again, he still felt that the disgusting stench was surrounding him.

Thinking that all this was because of that stupid woman Zhang, Pei Xiao gritted his teeth and ordered:

"Call that bitch Zhang to me!"

Just as the attendant was about to take the order and leave, Pei Xiao stopped him again.

"Come back, don't call her, and don't let her in even if she comes!"

He recalled the last time when Zhang cried and tried to commit suicide, which made him busy cleaning up the mess while looking for doctors for her everywhere. He felt very annoyed.

Tomorrow, I have to clean up this matter again, giving gifts everywhere, smiling and acting like a grandson.

He was completely impatient to watch Zhang crying, making a fuss and then threatening to hang herself.

When Zhang heard about Pei Xiao's miserable condition when he returned, she almost fainted.

She couldn't imagine how angry the Marquis, a favored son of heaven, must be when he was treated like this.

And how can she protect herself in the face of such rage?

However, she waited anxiously until late at night, but Pei Xiao still did not summon her.

This made Zhang extremely frightened.

After not sleeping well the previous night, he quickly packed up and went to see Pei Xiao early in the morning.

But I heard that the Marquis had already gone out.

When she came back in the evening and tried to ask for a meeting again, she was told by the attendant in the outer courtyard that the marquis had said he would not see her.

Zhang became more and more frightened.

However, she didn't know at this time that Pei Xiao, who was preparing to go out to give gifts again early the next morning, was even more frightened than her.

Yesterday I only went to the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Imperial Household Department to give gifts.

However, from what these two people said, this incident was too serious and the people were angry. If they did not report this to His Majesty, the risk would be great...
