Chapter 64 Pei Ye must go to jail!
Cheng Shuyi was very nervous on his way to Qulou.
When he got off the carriage, his legs were weak and he was staggering.
The waiter who ran to find her said that the store manager was forced to drink for two hours last night and his life or death was unknown.
She was scared.
She couldn't imagine what would happen if a person was forced to drink for four hours.
Cheng Shuyi felt a chill on his back early in the morning.
The moment I stepped into the building, I saw the shop assistants lying on the ground, and the store manager who was tied up and vomited filth and blood all over the floor...
Cheng Shuyi clenched his fists and trembled all over.
I was scared and angry.
"Go get the doctor!" Cheng Shuyi shouted to the waiter beside him, "Go!"
Pei Ye won last night.
But Su Lin didn't let him go and got him drunk too.
At this moment, Pei Ye was still lying on the booth in Qulou.
A few of the guys who were beaten woke up and described to Cheng Shuyi what happened last night.
Hearing that Pei Ye and others were so disregarding human life, and for their own gambling, they drank her men alive for two hours!
Her store manager begged for mercy and struggled, and his death was extremely painful.
And Pei Ye was actually still sleeping soundly as if nothing had happened!
Cheng Shuyi couldn't stand it anymore and ordered someone to report to the authorities.
The officials and doctors arrived together.
People in Jingzhao Prefecture seemed to be accustomed to these cases.
When rich and powerful young men tease ordinary people and go too far and cause death, they are usually forced to pay compensation.
Few were thrown into prison.
What's more, Pei Ye is a student of Yingtian Academy and will take the Imperial Examination in two days.
This is a huge matter for a student taking an entrance exam!
So when Cheng Shuyi insisted on asking Jingzhao Prefecture to arrest someone and put him in jail, everyone in Jingzhao Prefecture was shocked.
"Boss Cheng, this is the second son of the Prince Regent's Palace. He will be entering the Imperial Court the day after tomorrow."
"Once you're in jail, you'll have to spend at least six months in prison. Do you really want that?"
Pei Ye got drunk and killed someone, and coupled with his identity and the identity of the deceased.
Taking all factors into consideration, it will take at most half a year.
"Half a year?"
Cheng Shuyi narrowed his eyes, very dissatisfied with the result.
The lives of ordinary people in ancient times were really worthless.
"Then if we add in the losses to my store and the medical expenses of my colleagues, how long can the sentence be?"
Pei Ye and others drank so much last night and smashed a lot of things in her store.
Just for these smashed wine glasses, Cheng Shuyi would be able to demand a high price from him.
Unexpected.
The laws of the Great Sheng Dynasty were more severe in punishing the compensation of property than the compensation of human life.
Cheng Shuyi settled the store's losses in front of the people from Jingzhao Prefecture.
She demanded three thousand taels of silver as compensation for the smashed glass cup.
In addition to the tables, chairs, dishes and bowls, there are also the employees' medical expenses, lost wages, and compensation for the store manager's family.
Cheng Shuyi asked Pei Ye for a total of 5,000 taels of compensation.
Because the witnesses and material evidence in this case were very clear, Pei Ye was arrested on the spot.
The next day, Jingzhao Prefecture gave the verdict.
Pei Ye sobered up and was also imprisoned.
He screamed at the top of his lungs in the prison, shouting who he was and asking the jailer to release him.
When the news reached the Regent's Palace, everyone in the Pei family was stunned.
Especially when they learned that it was Cheng Shuyi who sent Pei Ye to prison, everyone in the Regent's Palace was furious.
Pei Zhuang even directly called Cheng Shuyi a bitch!
He threatened that she would never be able to enter the Pei family in her life.
After scolding, Pei Zhuang went to Jingzhao Prefecture to ask for the person.
However, the prefect of Jingzhao told him that he could not decide to release the person.
Unless Cheng Shuyi agrees to accept compensation, or Pei Yanli comes forward in person.
Pei Zhuang was very confused and made a scene in Jingzhao Prefecture: "She is just a lowly merchant woman. How dare she stop the Regent Palace from asking for someone?"
He didn't understand why Jingzhao Prefecture was afraid of Cheng Shuyi?
Of course Jingzhao Prefecture was afraid.
Cheng Shuyi had bluntly reminded them that if Jingzhao Prefecture dared not let Pei Ye serve enough time in prison according to the verdict, she would publish leaflets to expose it.
What's more, Qulou has a large group of student supporters.
The prefect of Jingzhao didn't dare to let him go easily.
Pei Zhuang was angry again and smashed everything in his room when he returned home.
Then he went to find Zhao.
"Brother, sister-in-law, Ye'er will be entering the Imperial Examination Hall tomorrow. The examination is a big deal. Even if Ye'er has made a big mistake, he cannot miss the exam."
Pei Zhuang resorted to a self-torture tactic, "Our Pei family hasn't had anyone pass the imperial examination for many years. It's difficult for Yanli to serve alone in the court."
"Having one more person to help out in the clan will make things much easier for Yanli and the Pei family."
"Even if Yanli wants to split the mansion..."
"shut up!"
Pei Shi shouted loudly, forbidding anyone to mention the matter of the branch palace.
Because Pei Yanli was serious about them and proposed the matter of dividing the government.
Therefore, the Pei family is particularly sensitive to the word "divided residence".
Zhao also looked unhappy.
She didn't expect that even though she used the death of her great-grandfather to pressure Pei Yanli, Pei Yanli still insisted on dividing the mansion.
Even the documents from the branch office were sent to the government office.
Now the matter of the branch office has not been resolved yet, and now Ye Ge'er has been sent to prison.
Zhao was exhausted.
She could not forgive Cheng Shuyi for causing all these troubles!
"Come here!" Zhao ordered the servants, "Go and call Cheng Shuyi over to me. I want to see what she wants to do!"
Pei Mansion went to call someone.
But Cheng Shuyi refused to go. "Go back and tell your old lady that the one who is at fault should behave like one who is at fault. Who does she think she is? Should I go just because she asks me to?"
The grievances his daughter suffered in the Regent's Palace made Cheng Shuyi have no good feelings towards Zhao.
Now you want to show off your power as the mistress of the palace in front of her?
impossible!
After hearing the servant's report, Zhao lost for the first time the grace and dignity of the mistress of the palace.
His face was twisted with anger.
"Cheng Shuyi, you are so good! You took my son and occupied my grandson, and now you are trying to harm my nephew and destroy the honor of my Pei family."
Zhao's eyes flashed with anger and ferocity, "You deserve to die!"
"Someone, go and invite the prince!"
Today she will let Yanli see the ugly face of that woman!
