In the backyard, Dong Qianqiu, the governor of Changzhou, was enjoying the little beauty given to him by Pei Jiaxin. When he heard that someone was visiting, he snorted in displeasure.
"You slaves are getting more and more courageous. You dare to disturb my pleasure at this time!"
"Master Prefect!" Outside the window, the master raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, "Please get up quickly, something serious has happened!"
Hearing the master's voice, Dong Qianqiu was startled, and his body suddenly softened. He let go of the little beauty in his arms. He quickly stood up, pulled a robe on the rack and wrapped it casually around himself. He opened the door and said, "Come out."
What happened?"
The master glanced at the dim room behind him, which was lit only by a red candle, "Sir, could you please take a moment to speak?"
Dong Qianqiu looked at him, and from his master's small eyes, he could see that he was hesitant to speak. He tightened his robes, walked out of the room, and walked to a remote corner of the corridor with his master before he spoke again.
There was no longer any impatience in his tone, but a bit more solemnity, "What's going on?"
The master glanced at the door not far away, lowered his voice and said, "Pei Yuanlang is dead!"
"What?!" Dong Qianqiu exclaimed.
Pei Yuanlang, the most promising figure in the Pei family in his younger generation, not only had talents that were not inferior to Pei Yuanqing, the most talented man in Jiangnan, but also had great talent in martial arts.
How could the character ranked tenth on the martial arts list die?
"Not only did he die, but nearly five hundred members of the Pei family died in the Red Mansion Garden..."
Before the master could finish speaking, Dong Qianqiu interrupted him hastily, "Who did this?"
Not only did he kill Pei Yuanlang, he also killed about 500 members of the Pei family. Who could be so capable and courageous?
The master raised his chin toward the courtyard gate, "Who else could it be? It's not the two people who just made a big fuss in Liuzhou City. At this moment, Shangguan Wuji, the general of Fengqiying, is waiting in the hall!"
"Princess An Ning and the Prince of the Northwest!" Dong Qianqiu didn't know whether it was cold or fear, but his fat body shivered uncontrollably, "What is Shangguan Wuji doing here?!"
Naturally, these two people already knew about what happened between Shen Fengchu and Yun Chu in Liuzhou City.
Although Dong Qianqiu is not a member of the Pei family, he has been the prefect of Changzhou City for several years, and naturally has a lot of relations with the Pei family. The Pei family treats this sensible prefect quite well.
Now that he heard that Yunchu and others killed Pei Yuanlang and hundreds of members of the Pei family, he just thought that they had come to his house to investigate the crime, and he was inevitably a little scared in his heart.
"Sir, don't be nervous!" The master reluctantly showed him a comforting smile, "They are here to report the crime!"
"Report a crime?" Dong Qianqiu suddenly looked bitter.
After killing someone and still reporting the crime, didn't Her Royal Highness mean to make things difficult for him?
"Yes, General Shangguan said that the children of the Pei family wanted to murder the princess and despised the imperial power, so the princess killed these rebels in accordance with the Daning law. Because she knew that this was your place, she specially sent someone to tell the lord of the branch to let you know.
Your Excellency went to deal with the funeral affairs, and also said that at this age, she will personally explain to the emperor, whether the emperor will kill the nine tribes of the Pei family depends on the fate of the Pei family!"
Dong Qianqiu raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling relieved, "Let's go over and have a look!"
"Ahem!" The master coughed lightly and took his arm. "My lord, go and put on your clothes first. I'll go to the front yard to say hello!"
