"I have indeed been watching just now, but I just wanted to see when my physical evidence would take effect. Everyone, take a look and don't touch it. If you touch it, you may end up like Xiuzhi. Maybe you may die.

worry."

Everyone wanted to get closer to take a look, but upon hearing Pei Wuyan's warning, they all took a step back.

Yu Qingfeng also leaned over to take a look. Oh dear, Xiuzhi had a red rash on her exposed skin.

"Master Pei, what is this?" Du Huanmo asked on behalf of all the confused spectators.

"Master Du can illuminate it by candlelight and look closely at the palms of Xiuzhi's hands and the places where her hands have touched."

Du Huanmo hurriedly took the lantern from the servant on the side, moved closer but kept a certain distance, found a balance between self-protection and due diligence, and observed carefully.

Xiuzhi wanted to hide, but the guards on both sides, one on each side, no longer cared about her beauty, and pressed her shoulders with their scabbards, so that the beauty could not move.

"This, this shining thing is..."

"It's scale powder. To be precise, it's scale powder extracted from the wings of the red poison-eyed butterfly."

"What butterfly?" Du Huanmo took a few steps back.

"The Red Poison-Eyed Butterfly, as its name suggests, is red. The patterns on its wings resemble eyes and are highly poisonous."

"Are there such butterflies?" Du Huanmo took a few steps back.

"During the day, I noticed this maid named Xiuzhi. She kept wandering around me and in front of the house, posing and flirting."

"Master Pei, did you notice it early on?"

Du Huanmo couldn't believe it. The subtext in his expression was: Why didn't I notice that you noticed it earlier?

"That's right, I also noticed that Mr. Du knew about it early on, and thought it was Mr. Du's good intention," Pei Wuyan continued to explain, "I guessed that Xiuzhi would take action tonight, and the beauty trap

If it doesn’t work, it will naturally be framed.”

"No, Mr. Pei, this is not from a lower official..." Du Huanmo quickly clarified.

Pei Wuyan ignored Du Huanmo's embarrassment and continued to explain:

"I closed the door tightly, turned off the lights, and took a rest. I didn't give Xiuzhi a chance to enter the room. If it was Mr. Du's kindness and saw me closing the door to thank guests, he would have retreated, right?"

"That's natural! So, Xiuzhi was not sent by a lower official."

"I also wanted to see what Xiuzhi wanted to do, and whether she would break in through a side door, so I specially sprayed the highly toxic scale powder on the window lattice. As long as someone pushed the window and entered, the palms of their hands would be covered with scale powder.

."

Xiuzhi raised her palms to her eyes in disbelief, her face turned pale.

"Lord Du, you can send someone to carefully check the window of my guest room. There should be blank traces of the prints of both hands on the outside. The blank traces can match the size of Xiuzhi's hands. There are also scale powder on the inside that she accidentally got when she closed the window."

Du Huanmo immediately ordered the guards on the side to check.

The guards were frightened because it was poisonous scale powder after all, but they had to bite the bullet. They could only use the sabers on their waists to touch Xiuzhi and urge her to go to the window to verify.

"By the way, after Xiuzhi came in, I kept a distance from her for fear of being contaminated by the poisonous scale powder, but I still watched her touch many places in my room. I also asked Mr. Du to send someone to clean this guest room carefully."

Yu Qingfeng was silently lamenting that Pei Wuyan was fooling around with his tricks. When he heard this, he suddenly realized that the room was useless. Where would Pei Wuyan stay tonight?

After Pei Wuyan finished speaking, he stretched out his hands and spread his palms to show everyone.

"The scale powder is highly toxic, and I took protective measures when spraying it. So my hands and my body are not contaminated at all. Lord Du can check it carefully in person."

Du Huanmo stepped back and waved his hand, "Of course, this is not necessary. This is highly toxic scale powder. If Mr. Pei is contaminated, it will naturally need to be cleaned up in time. Now let me check it, then it must be absolutely free of contamination."

The guards pushed Xiuzhi back to the courtyard with their sabers.

"I'm telling Mr. Du that the window lattice and the interior of the room are exactly as Mr. Pei said. The size of Xiuzhi's hands is also consistent with the marks left on the window."

Xiuzhi knelt on the ground, looking at her hands in despair, wanting to cry without tears.

"Master Du, is this irrefutable proof?" Yu Qingfeng walked up to Du Huanmo and asked meaningfully.

Du Huanmo knew Xiuzhi and specially arranged for Xiuzhi to serve and show her face in front of Pei Wuyan. He had long known that Xiuzhi would go to Pei Wuyan to perform a beauty trick, but he did not expect that Pei Wuyan would not take the bait and tell the beauty.

The plan can also turn into frame-up.

What he didn't even expect was that Pei Wuyan would be aware of it early and use the highly toxic butterfly scale powder to set up a trap to make Xiuzhi fall into the trap.

"Yes, it is irrefutable proof."

What else can Du Huanmo say? Just admit it.

"Xiuzhi is the maid in your residence. Shouldn't you make a statement at this time?" Pei Wuyan turned his cold eyes to Du Huanmo.

Du Huanmo realized it later and slapped his forehead, "Master Pei, this Xiuzhi is..."

Xiuzhi also burst out suddenly and shouted before Du Huanmo: "I said, I said, I confess, I do have a master, please give me the antidote, Mr. Pei!"

Du Huanmo saw that someone was still competing for him, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master Pei, Xiuzhi was arranged by Master Xia to come to my house..."

"My master is Xia Tixing and Xia Feitao!" Xiuzhi was not to be outdone.

"Master Xia gave me four beauties. I only regarded them as gifts among my colleagues. I didn't expect it to be like this!"

"Master Xia ordered me to prevent Master Pei from going to Pingchuan County on charges of rape, regardless of whether the honey trap succeeds or not!"

Yu Qingfeng and Lian Shurong couldn't hold back and laughed together.

Pei Wuyan's technique was so good that the other party learned to answer quickly without them having to ask any more questions.

Xia Feitao, the criminal judge, did everything possible to prevent Pei Wuyan from reviewing the case and overturning his conclusion.

Pei Wuyan yawned, "We have to go on a journey tomorrow, so let's get some rest early."

"Then, what should we do with Xiuzhi?" Du Huanmo breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not dare to make a decision privately, so he could only ask Pei Wuyan for instructions.

"Xiu Zhi is a witness who testified against Xia Ti. Logically speaking, she should be kept until my case is concluded and Xia Ti is investigated for punishment. But she is now seriously poisoned, and her time is running out, so she won't be able to leave that person.

It's time. It's better to be exiled and find a place in the wild mountains to let her die of poison. Her skin will ulcerate all over her body and die. This can be regarded as a punishment for her daring to frame me."

"Ah? This..." Du Huanmo rubbed his hands in embarrassment.

"What? Do you want to plead for her?"

"No, no, I just think this punishment is too light, too light."

"I understand, your people don't dare to take over. Let's do this. I'll send someone to take her out of Jeju overnight and throw her into the wild mountains. Don't worry, I hate evil, but it's not clear. If Mr. Du is not involved, there is no need.

Fear and worry.”

Pei Wuyan still sounded indifferent, but what he said made the other party tremble with fear.

When Xiuzhi heard her fate, she fell to the ground and begged for mercy.

Pei Wuyan turned a deaf ear and called his own guards, whispering a few words, presumably ordering Xiuzhi to be sent to fend for herself.
