Whether or not to plead guilty is the criterion for determining whether someone is truly guilty.

  Geng Wenzhong was asked to speak up, and after a moment of stuttering, he said: "That, sir... because this female prisoner, she... she spent the night with Young Master Li in their bridal chamber, and now Young Master Li is unconscious."

  The bridal chamber was lit with candles on that night, only the two of them were present. Now the man's temples are black and he is not far from death. If the murderer isn't this woman, who else could it be?

  Pei Tan looked at Geng Wenzhong, in his Temple of Justice, if only relying on this kind of arbitrary reasoning to determine guilt, then miscarriages of justice could go around the block three times.

  Pei Tan's gaze shifted: "Does Lord Geng know the procedure for concluding a case?"

  Firstly, there must be a confession from the offender, signed and thumb-printed, and submitted to the Ministry of Justice for review before the crime can be determined.

  The Jingzhao government office hasn't done anything yet, but they dare to loudly claim that Jing Yuanner is a female prisoner.

  Geng Wenzhong's body was cold and hot, how could he not understand Pei Tan's knock? This great temple master from the Pei family had no oily habits of an official on his body, and his words were also very serious, making it impossible for people to find excuses.

  Geng Wenzhong had been rolling around in official circles for many years, and what he couldn't handle most was this kind of person.

  Of course, in official circles, there are almost no people like Pei Tan.

  "Now, Geng Wenzhong's heart was burning with anxiety over another matter: 'Great, great sir, please...please save this woman, no, let this woman quickly rescue Young Master Li...'"

  Li Gongzi's identity was already told to Pei Tan by Geng Wenzhong on the way, people from Zhaojun Li family are not weaker than Pei family at all. Now that Li family's young master is dying, let this woman hurry up and treat him.

  Pei Tan looked at Jing Wanyu, and Jing Wanyu also stood there with a faint smile, without any fear or hesitation.

  "The woman said, now only she can save Master Li."

  Geng Wenzhong's molars were trembling, if this fake bride was fooling him, he wouldn't mind using any method to pinch this woman to death.

  It's too easy to quietly kill a woman without an identity in Chang'an, what's the difference between that and stepping on an ant?

  Jing Wan'er looked at Pei Tan and said, "Not bad, now there's only one slave, it should be said that in the world, there's only one slave who can save the current Li Gongzi."

  This nonsense is really unheard of, because previously Geng Wenzhong thought that if time permitted, he wanted to rush into the palace to invite imperial physicians to see if Li Gongzi could still be rescued, no, it should be said that even if there was a glimmer of hope, he would want to invite imperial physicians to take a look.

  Against Li's background, it would be easier to find another imperial physician, but if Li were to make a fuss about this, regardless of whether the young master lived or died, Geng Wenzhong feared that he himself would lose his official position.

  This is what these greedy people are like, always having so many weaknesses.

  Pei Tan stared at Jing Yuanyu and said, "You can save Young Master Li."

  "Provided Your Excellency gives permission, I can save him right now."

  She still regarded Pei Tan as the only adult, and everything she did was subject to Pei Tan's permission.

  Pei Tan looked at her face and said after a moment: "This official allows you to go save him."

  Jing Wan'er's lips curled slightly, she allowed herself to save people, no matter if that Li Xiu was a beast, no matter if he had taken someone's innocence by force, as long as Pei Tan wanted her to save the person, then she would go and rescue them.

  Geng Wenzhong hastily said: "Young Master Li is in the wing room of the backyard, hurry and follow this official to rescue him."

  Jing Wan'er saw Geng Wen-zhong's urgent stare, and smiled to herself. Saving that young master wouldn't take much effort, but it would allow these people to taste bitterness first, which she thought was worth it.

  Pei Tan also followed along and when they arrived at the backyard, before entering the house, he heard a loud wailing sound like mourning in the yard.

  Geng Wenzhong's head was nodding in agreement, knowing that this was the sound of those concubines' voices. These people were truly deeply affectionate towards Li Xiufu, and their love could be seen under the sun and moon.

  Geng Wenzhong pushed open the door of the sedan chair, and immediately ordered the yamen runners guarding here: "Clear the scene immediately! Leave... Li Gongzi alone!"

  Almost said it was a dead man, if this gets out, it will be a disaster!

  That group of crying maidservants turned their faces and saw Pei Tan and Jing Yu'er entering, all of them were stunned.

  Pei Tan wore casual clothes, with a flowing sleeve, Jing Wanyan followed him, wearing a red dress, and suddenly gave people a kind of heavenly match.

  That group of concubines saw Jing Yuanyu, then saw Pei Tan, and their shock truly multiplied several times. They stared at the new face, calling out: "Who is this again?... Can't you see that Lord Li is trying to rest?"

  A person is not yet dead, what rest?

  Jing Wan'er took the lead and walked out, telling the group of noisy concubines who were crowded together: "Make way and let the person through."

  Li Xiu is now surrounded by five women and cannot escape.

  The five concubines not only didn't back off, but instead surrounded her even tighter, without leaving any gaps: "You wicked woman are so venomous, you've already harmed Li Lang to death, and now you still want to harm his corpse? We absolutely won't let you have another chance to poison Li Lang's body!"

  It's truly a touching scene, Jing Wanyu looked at these five women with different expressions, it's really a classic example of how even scum can be loved. She smiled at the five women: "There are less than 12 hours left, if you continue to surround him like this, you'll soon get what you want and collect Li Lang's corpse."

  Jing Wanyu was still quite skilled at intimidating people, and after spending so many days in the palace, compared to the number of times she had been with women in the palace, these five women were simply children who didn't understand anything.

  Five women simultaneously lost their composure, their bodies trembling as they suddenly recalled the words Jing Wan'er had spoken earlier that twelve hours could still save her.

  They had been guarding Li Xiuzhen for several hours, and they couldn't even feel a breath, let alone the faint smell of corpse odor that was already emanating from her body. Could she really be saved?

  Jing Wan'er continued walking forward at this time, and although those five women were staring at her, no one dared to really stop her.

  Jing Wan'er walked to the stretcher beside Li Xiuzhi, looking at Li Xiuzhi lying on it. She thought of last night when she disguised herself as the bride and was taken away by Li Xiuzhi. Li Xiuzhi lifted her veil and found that the bride had been replaced. He immediately asked her where Shi Yun was. Jing Wan'er naturally wouldn't tell him, this Li Xiuzhi was a lecherous demon who took advantage of the situation to try to force Jing Wan'er to become his concubine.

  Jing Wan'er could only pretend to drink a cup of parting wine and send this shameless man off to dreamland.

  But at midnight, Li Xiu started to get into trouble. First, his face turned pale after drinking too much wine, then his lips curled outward and he convulsed uncontrollably.

  Jing Wan'er approached and probed, only to see that Li Gongzi's body had already been exhausted.

  She thought for a moment and sat down on the edge of the bed, staring at Li Xiuzhe who had been convulsing all night, until dawn when he finally stopped moving.

  Later, the servants in the mansion came in and found Li Xiuyi lying on the ground unconscious. They immediately shouted and called everyone out. Jing Yu'er watched as the people from the mansion rushed over. First, five concubines cried and wailed, then they insisted that she pay with her life. They dragged her and Li Xiuyi to the Yamen of the Metropolitan Governor together.

  This is the whole story, Jing Wanyu looked at Li Xiuzhe's face with a dead air, stretched out her hand to feel his pulse, and used a very special technique. Others couldn't find Li Xiuzhe's pulse and naturally didn't think he was still alive.

  After a while, Jing Wanyi said: "Help Li Xiufu up."

  Several concubines looked at each other in dismay, someone stretched out their hand but then withdrew it, how can they help?

  Jing Wan'er reached out and grabbed Li Xiuzhen's shoulder, lifting her head as if to say lightly: "Push him up and sit him up, and his back will be exposed."

  The concubines who were crying loudly just now didn't dare to stretch out their hands, they all thought the person was definitely dead, at this time, whether to push or not to push is not a good option.

  It was a figure who came over, and Pei Tan said lightly: "I'm here."

  As soon as Pei Tan said he would come in person, Geng Wenzhong was startled. Li Xiu's face was full of dark energy, and even he didn't dare to get close. Looking at the gentle and weak Pei Tan, who was no longer avoiding him, stretched out his hand to prop up Li Xiu's upper body, making him "sit" up.

  Jing Wan'er gave Pei Tan a deep look, then fell silent. She reached out and retrieved the long needle from her own hair once again.

  Those concubines cried out: "Witch, what are you going to do?"

  Jing Wan'er's eyes were fixed on Pei Tan alone, ignoring everyone else. One needle had already pierced Li Xiufeng's Fengmen acupoint.

  At this moment, Li Xiu was like a dying fish, and suddenly he struggled once.

  A concubine of a certain station recently saw a white-clad specter and fainted on the spot.

  The other concubines who had been crying and wailing just a moment before also retreated far away.

  Can dead people really come back to life? How is this possible?

  Including Geng Wen Zhong, everyone thinks so.

  Jing Wan'er's needlework was completely unlike sewing on a living person, her pale face and ruthless technique making one's scalp tingle.

  Fortunately, from start to finish, only Pei Tan was staring at him, while the others had already dodged and looked away.

  Geng Wenzhong heard a faint cry: "Lord Geng..."

  Geng Wenzhong was startled, his whole body trembling as if his soul had been summoned. He turned to see Jing Yuanei's long needle emitting a cold glow, with black air swirling around the tip.

  "What's going on?" Geng Wenzhong exclaimed in surprise.

  On the other side, Pei Tan put down Li Xiwei. Li Xiwei was still as lifeless as before, without any movement.

  Those concubines came back to their senses and started pointing at Jing Yuanyuan, crying: "You're indeed a wicked woman who harms people!"

  Jing Wan'er said calmly, "What's there to panic about? Li Xiuzhi will definitely wake up in half a time."

  This sentence not only blocked the cry of the concubine, but also swallowed back the remaining questions of Geng Wenzhong. Half a time must wake up? Looking at Li Xiufu on the bed with closed eyes, except that his face looked better and the surrounding black air was gone, there was no sign of waking up.

  Is it really so magical?

  Geng Wenzhong hadn't even asked yet when he caught sight of Pei Tan's gaze, which was fixed on Jing Yuanner, clearly not the first time they had met.

  Geng Wenzhong's heart skipped a beat.

  Recalling just now when this woman paid respects to Pei Tan, she called herself "Wan Er", Wan Er must be this woman's real name, and she with Pei Tan...

  Wait, Wanyu!?

  Geng Wenzhong's face turned pale.

  Pei Tan stood up and said: "This young lady will step out with me for a few words."

  Geng Wenzhong heard this and indeed it was so, suddenly he didn't dare say anything more.
