The love of a man and his concubine

As soon as he finished speaking, Huajiao felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little stagnant.

In the darkness, she couldn't see Yu Taiqing's face clearly, and she didn't dare to look, but she could feel Yu Taiqing's anger and murderous gaze.

This time, it was not her first offense, nor was she forced to kill the monster, but she knowingly committed the offense and refused to change despite repeated admonitions, so she was considered an aboveboard molestation of him.

Last time, Yu Taiqing was so angry, this time I'm afraid I want to tear her into pieces.

In the darkness, she could vaguely see his figure walking towards her.

At this moment, she actually felt that Hell seemed a little safer.

Huajiao unconsciously took two steps back and fled towards the door. She happened to bump into Pei Ruji who rushed in. She screamed and Pei Ruji hurriedly put his arms around her waist.

Chu Xian lit the fire, picked up the candle that fell on the ground, and lit it.

The faint light illuminated the mess of the room, with half-burned case files soaked in water scattered on the floor and table.

Several guards packed it up carefully.

Yu Taiqing stood in the shadow of the backlight, and a corner of her sleeves embroidered with complicated patterns had been scorched by the fire at some point. If she moved slightly, ashes would fall down.

His sleeves were also wet, with water droplets dripping from them. His whole person no longer looked sprightly, but rather a little embarrassed.

There were so many shadows on his face that he couldn't see his expression clearly, and he didn't even dare to look at the corners.

I could only feel that from his hair to the embroidery thread on his sleeves and every corner of his clothes, he was radiating a thrilling coldness and rage.

Even the candlelight seemed to be infected by his emotions, jumping and burning like a frightened person, making the light and shadow in the room sway.

Hua Jiao's heart was beating wildly. She suddenly pushed Pei Ruji away, turned around and walked out of the house.

Yu Taiqing's cold and emotionless voice came from behind: "Chu Xian, take Lady Jiang to the Fierce Prison."

The sunset has long since set and night has fallen.

Most of the demon masters and guards in the Tianshu Si Yamen have gone off duty. Only a few guards who were on duty at night are still there. At this time, they all gathered in Yu Taiqing's duty room to tidy up.

Zhang Qian and Li Hou stood in the courtyard with worried faces.

The two of them originally followed Pei Ru to the Peony Garden today, but they did not follow him, so they did not know what happened in the garden. They only knew that a murder occurred at the flower banquet, and then they followed Pei Ru to the Peony Garden.

Chief Secretary.

He originally thought that Pei Ruji would go back home after being questioned, but unexpectedly he had to wait for Mrs. Jiang to go back together.

A few days ago, Pei Ruji tried his best to break off the engagement with Mrs. Jiang, but now he got his wish. The two of them were supposed to be in harmony with each other, but why did General Pei become so warm-hearted?

Li Hou stretched his neck and looked at Yu Taiqing's room, and whispered: "Did you see General Pei rushing towards the burning room? Have you ever seen General Pei so desperate before?"

Zhang Qian shook his head, touched his chin and pondered for a while, and said: "I've never seen it before. There must be a monster when something goes wrong. Could it be that... Miss Jiang has a handle on General Pei, and he is afraid that Mrs. Jiang will confess him, so he doesn't

rest assured?"

Li Hou nodded in agreement.

The guards rushed in and put out the fire. When they exited, they escorted Jiang Huajiao out. They vaguely heard that he was going to be taken to the Fierce Prison.

Li Hou asked doubtfully: "What crime did a weak little lady commit that made her want to be imprisoned in a fiery prison?"

Zhang Qian frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "How could a fire break out when a man and a woman are in the room? Could it be that... Madam Jiang wants to set fire to murder Yu Dujian? Otherwise, how could Yu Dujian impose such a heavy punishment?"

Li Hou nodded in agreement and frowned deeply: "She must not harm General Pei."

Zhang Qian was worried: "I'm afraid it's too late, I think I've already been implicated."

I saw Pei Ruji chasing him out of the house. The lantern hanging under the eaves poured down a dim yellow light, casting a shadow on his face.

Pei Ruji raised his unsheathed sword and stopped in front of Chu Xian. He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Captain Chu, please wait a moment. I have something to ask Inspector Yu."

Chu Xian glanced at the sword in Pei Ruji's hand, smiled lightly, and stopped.

Pei Rujii turned around, cupped his hands toward the house, and said in a cold voice: "Prisoner Yu, I don't know what crime Madam Jiang has committed, so I can't just send an innocent young lady to the prison without knowing it."

No one in the room answered.

Pei Ruji seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and glanced sharply at Chu Xian and the guard holding the painting horn, and said: "If Governor Yu doesn't make it clear today, Pei will have to go to His Majesty to seek justice."

Zhang Qian and Li Hou looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes. They never expected that Pei Ruji would actually get into trouble with Tianshu Si.

For a time, the atmosphere in the hospital was tense.

Huajiao was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Pei Ruji to be so loyal. He was moved and said hurriedly: "General Pei, don't worry about my affairs. You'd better go back home early."

Pei Ruji smiled comfortingly towards the corner of the painting: "How can that be done? Something happened to Mrs. Jiang, how can I ignore it? Not to mention me, even my father will not agree."

"Thank you, third brother. I know what you mean, but you really don't have to worry about me." Huajiao felt a little anxious. She didn't want to injure Pei Ruji, but she couldn't tell Pei Ruji what happened between her and Yu Taiqing.

"What a great lover!" Yu Taiqing walked out of the house with his hands on his hands.

He had taken off his robe that had half of its sleeves burned by the fire, and put on the official uniform of the Tianshu Division Superintendent. With a sneer on his lips, he stared at Pei Ruji for a few times and said lightly: "General Pei,

Do you know that you are hindering Tianshu Division from handling the case?"

Seeing this, Zhang Qian and Li Hou took two steps forward to stop Pei Ruji, grabbed his arm, and said with a smile: "Captain Yu, don't you dare, don't get me wrong, General Pei definitely didn't mean this."

Pei Ruji said loudly: "Supervisor Yu, since we are handling the case, please tell us why we want to arrest Lady Jiang and what crime she has committed?"

Yu Taiqing flicked his sleeves and said leisurely: "General Pei, the case involving Mrs. Jiang is an important case of Tianshu Division. I forgive me for not telling outsiders the details. You can go back."

After saying that, he turned to Chu Xian and ordered: "Captain Chu, the governor of this capital is going to take you to the palace to meet the emperor. You must quickly take Lady Jiang to the prison without delay."

Chu Xian agreed, stretched out his hand to form a seal, and silently recited the incantation.

Pei Ruji wanted to stop him again, but his hands and feet were suddenly unable to move, and he watched helplessly as the guard led the painting corner away.

"Yu Taiqing, you..." Pei Ruji had known for a long time that all the demon masters in Tianshu Division knew spells, but he never expected that one day they would use their spells on him.

Yu Taiqing smiled coldly and said: "General Pei, Madam Jiang deserves it. I advise you not to make the matter bigger, otherwise, if the matter spreads, it will be even more detrimental to her." After saying this, he sent a message to Pei Ru.

He handed over his hands and walked away with Chu Xian.
