Chapter 248 A Cup of Poisoned Wine
"I'll go with you." Zhan Beiyuan said. He also wanted to see what Pei Lie wanted to say to her.
"Dad and Mom, you guys go quickly. My sister and I will stay in the palace obediently." Mo Mo waved his hand and said that he and his sister had to learn skills well and they also had to read a lot of books.
They also want to save their mother.
Jiang Yunxi watched Butler Bai lead them in before getting on the carriage with Zhan Beiyuan. Qi Yan quickly drove the carriage to Jingzhao Prefecture.
When they arrived, Qu Xinwen was in the government office.
"When did Pei Lie ask to see me?" Jiang Yunxi asked as they walked.
"It was around 1:15 p.m. when I heard the news, I immediately went to Prince Han's Mansion to find you. Since you were not there, I asked Butler Bai to wait for you to come back and tell you." Qu Xinwen said.
Jiang Yunxi felt that Pei Lie would never come to her for no reason. "Has his execution been announced?"
Qu Xinwen looked at her and said, "He came down this morning. The emperor gave him a cup of poisoned wine, so he didn't have to be taken out and beheaded."
Jiang Yunxi was not surprised to hear this. The Pei family had a certain status in Tenglong Country. Old Tutor Pei was the teacher of Emperor Su Ming when he was still the crown prince. In consideration of the Pei family's contributions, he would not let Pei Lie be beheaded in public.
In the cell.
Pei Lie was sitting at the table, writing with a wolf-hair brush.
Seeing this, Qu Xinwen said, "When I came back and told him that you were not at the palace, he asked me to prepare pen, ink and paper for him. Thinking that he was about to die, I arranged it for him."
All we can say is that the eldest son of the Pei family is too confused. He can want to resurrect the second son of the Pei family, but as long as he doesn't kill those innocent women, he won't have committed a serious crime, and he will still be the eldest son of the Pei family.
There will be a good future in the future, but if you make a wrong move, you will fall into the abyss and there will be no way back.
Jiang Yunxi walked to the front of the cell. From a distance, she could see that Pei Lie had beautiful handwriting. She did not sympathize with him. In fact, he had a good face and a good life.
It’s just that a person’s life is not determined by fate, but destiny.
Fate is predetermined, but luck is not.
Luck is the result of various choices people make after birth.
If he had not chosen to kill, his fate indicated that he would have had a good end in the future.
"Pei Lie, what do you want to talk to me about?" Jiang Yunxi's voice was cold. He was writing a letter to his family. Yes, if he didn't write it today, he would never have another chance.
"Wait a moment." Pei Lie said and lowered his head to continue writing. This was the last letter he wrote to his family.
Zhan Beiyuan looked at Qu Xinwen and said, "Sir Qu, go and do your thing."
Qu Xinwen said tactfully, "Yes."
After saying this, he left quickly and called away all the other guards nearby.
Pei Lie quickly wrote the two-page letter. He folded it and put it into the envelope. Then he picked it up and walked towards Jiang Yunxi, "Please help me deliver this letter to my grandfather."
"Okay." Jiang Yunxi agreed.
"Thank you." Pei Lie smiled gently. He thought she wouldn't agree. Then he took out another letter from his sleeve pocket. "This letter is for you. Read it after you get out."
Jiang Yunxi was a little surprised, "Give it to me?"
Pei Lie smiled warmly, "Yes, to be honest, the person I'm most grateful to should be you."
If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have woken up yet, still living in the obsession of resurrecting Pei Heng, and he didn't know how many innocent lives his hands would be stained with.
"I'm just doing what I should do." Jiang Yunxi took the letter. She guessed that the letter contained what she wanted to know.
Pei Lie looked towards Zhan Beiyuan and said, "Prince Han, I hope you won't hold a grudge against the Pei family because of me. The Pei family is upright and honest. I made a mistake, and it has nothing to do with the other members of the Pei family."
He has been regretting it these days and feels that he was too selfish.
Because of his affairs, the Pei family will definitely be criticized, and his grandfather and father will be looked at strangely by other ministers.
"I am not that kind of person. If you are wrong, it is your fault. It has nothing to do with other people in the Pei family." Zhan Beiyuan said in a cold and deep voice.
"Okay, that's good." Pei Lie said with a smile. Now he was completely relieved, because other ministers in the court attacked his grandfather and father because of him, and Prince Han would stand up and speak.
He turned and walked slowly towards the small table, picking up the white porcelain wine glass. He thanked the emperor for giving him poisoned wine instead of taking him out and beheading him in public.
Next second.
He picked up the glass, drank it all, and then put it down.
"You guys go." Pei Lie turned around and looked at them with a smile.
Jiang Yunxi looked at the man. She did not sympathize with him, but felt a little regretful. He should not have taken the wrong path. Unfortunately, there is no "if" in this world. People should think carefully before making any decision.
Instead of doing it rashly without considering the consequences, because there is no medicine for regret in the world.
Bang——
Pei Lie fell to the ground, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. He looked into the distance with a smile in his eyes, and gradually his eyes closed.
Jiang Yunxi still didn't leave, just looked at Pei Lie's body.
After a while.
Pei Lie's soul came out.
"Go to the underworld now, don't stay in the human world. Maybe you can see Pei Heng in the underworld." Jiang Yunxi said to Pei Lie's soul, then made a hand gesture and shot towards Pei Lie.
Pei Lie's soul disappeared instantly.
She sent him off to prevent his soul from being taken away by someone with ulterior motives.
When he went to the underworld, he had to bear the debt of the sins he committed in his lifetime.
"Let's go." Jiang Yunxi looked at Zhan Beiyuan and said.
"You, can you let me continue to see souls?" Zhan Beiyuan said with an uncomfortable expression. When she asked him to see for seven days, he was very reluctant, but now he wants to see it.
"Are you sure you want to see it?" Jiang Yunxi looked at him with a smile.
Zhan Beiyuan nodded with certainty.
Jiang Yunxi put the letter into his sleeve pocket, pulled out the hairpin on his head, pricked his finger, then pressed the blood on his forehead and chanted a spell in his heart, so that he could see all souls from then on.
Zhan Beiyuan only felt a little hot between his eyebrows, as if something was spreading from there, the same feeling as last time.
Jiang Yunxi laughed and teased, "From now on, you can see ghosts anytime and anywhere."
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
When the two of them went out, Qu Xinwen was waiting outside the cell.
"Master Qu, Pei Lie has drunk the poisoned wine and is dead." Jiang Yunxi said in a calm voice.
"I'll arrange for someone to go to the Pei family right away."
"No need. Prince Han and I are going to the Pei family. We will talk to Old Master Pei then."
Qu Xinwen nodded. "Miss Jiang, I heard from Qin Junfei that you went to Lord Sun's study last night and found something wrong with the ginseng soup. We've been investigating this morning, but we haven't figured out who put the drug in it."
After finally getting a clue, it was lost again.
Jiang Yunxi reached out and pressed his forehead. "You guys continue to investigate the Sun family. Master Sun's soul is gone, and I don't have any clues for now."
The death of the Yang couple and Cheng.
She has no clues either.
If they were scared to death by ghosts and their souls are gone, there is really no way to do anything.
The government office has already sent people to Niulan Village to inform the Yang and Du families. It is estimated that it won’t be long before people from the Yang and Du families will come to the capital.
"Oh, this, this case will not become an unsolved case, right?" Qu Xinwen said in a low voice. Compared with some ordinary small cases, the death of Lord Sun was really weird.
