Chapter 1479

Until this moment, he also completely understood that Lu Wen could no longer be trusted; he had already become a tool of Gao Yang.

Today, he had fallen again!

Soon, the farce ended. Pei Ji knew the situation was gone, so he left dejectedly and did not persist.

But what happened at the Court of Judicial Review today spread like a storm in all directions.

Undoubtedly, this matter would become another topic of conversation in Changancheng after tea and meals.

Such a big commotion naturally reached the Jin Luan Palace.

The Imperial Study.

Wu Zhao, dressed in golden dragon robes, looked noble and full of momentum. She was processing memorials when she suddenly heard news from the Imperial Guards.

She looked stunned and felt it was unbelievable.

"Pei Ji of the Pei family was beaten by the Living Yama?"

"And it was the three generations of the family who beat him together? This is truly strange!"

Wu Zhao immediately thought of that night when the three generations of the Duke of the State's residence drank together and had a blackout afterward.

This time...

Shangguan Wan'er's beautiful eyes frowned, and she said, "Your Majesty, this matter is full of strangeness!"

"This subject always feels that something has happened at the Duke of the State's residence? It has been strange for this period of time."

Wu Zhao said, "Someone, go find Lord Gao and order him to give me an explanation!"

"Yes."

Xiao Yuan went down and soon brought back a letter.

After reading it, Wu Zhao fell into a long silence.

After a while, she said, "No need to worry about this matter anymore. The young master of the Pei family deserved this beating!"

These words aroused curiosity in Shangguan Wan'er's heart, making her feel an itch, "Your Majesty, what exactly happened?"

Wu Zhao glanced at Shangguan Wan'er, then shook her head and said, "Nothing."

"Just a small matter."

Since Wu Zhao didn't want to say, Shangguan Wan'er didn't dare to ask more.

But her beautiful eyes carried a sense of contemplation, her gaze deep...

West of Changancheng.

Inside the inn, in the Heaven-class room.

Pei Ji lay on the bed, wrapped like a mummy, his buttocks feeling as if they had exploded, unable to even be touched.

He tremblingly reached out to Pei Cheng, his face full of grievance.

"Father, my child... my child is aggrieved!!!"

"That Living Yama is too bullying. If I don't avenge this, I swear I won't be a man!"

Pei Ji wailed.

Pei Cheng reached out and held Pei Ji's hand tightly, his eyes full of heartache.

Although he had seven children, three were daughters, and the others, except for a young son of a few years old, had died prematurely, leaving only Pei Ji.

He pampered Pei Ji to the extreme, fearing he would suffer any grievance.

But now, not only was he beaten into a pig's head, but he was also counter-accused and received five heavy strokes.

This made his heart bleed!

This was not just Pei Ji's shame, but Pei Cheng's shame, the shame of the entire Pei family!

Pei Cheng's eyes were red as he said to Pei Ji, "Ji'er, it was Father who miscalculated. That Living Yama is too cunning, you are no match for him, and you have suffered."

"But don't worry... you were beaten, but there is still Father, and behind you is the entire Pei family!"

"I will wash away today's shame for you, the Pei family will wash it away for you!"

"At tomorrow's morning court, Father has prepared a big gift for that Living Yama. I will definitely make him look good. I will never agree to him insulting my son. If he has the guts, let him insult me too!"

"..."

At the same time.

Duke of the State's residence.

After Gao Yang returned, he walked straight toward the innermost small courtyard.

After pushing open a courtyard door, Gao Yang asked directly, "Where is the thing?"

"Eldest Young Master, you are simply a genius. Once this object is born, it will definitely explode throughout Da Qian, and the seven kingdoms of the world will be shocked by your talent!"

On the side, a middle-aged craftsman wearing plain clothes and looking very simple was full of fanaticism.

The craftsman's hands trembled slightly as he held the seemingly ordinary piece of paper high above his head.

The sun shone down from the nine heavens, spilling onto the paper surface—thin as a cicada's wing yet tough as silk, and as the sunlight flowed, one could vaguely see the fine texture of bamboo.

"Shining like silk, warm to the touch... it wasn't a waste of this Prime Minister's effort!" Gao Yang rubbed the edge of the paper with his fingertips, showing satisfaction, but then, as if thinking of something, Gao Yang suddenly sneered, his eyes turning extremely cold.

"At tomorrow's morning court, let's take the Pei family to vent our anger first. This Prime Minister wants to see if this bunch of parasites in the Pei family can chew through this bamboo-boned, ice-hearted thing." ===== CHAPTER 1481 =====
