Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Chapter 493: Surround her and lock her up first

"That's nonsense. It's absolutely impossible. This is an imperial examination held every three years. The emperor takes it very seriously. Who wouldn't be cautious? Even if there were any soldiers as witnesses, they would have been forced to confess. I don't know what means the county lady used. It's unfair." Pang Da shouted in a hoarse voice.

He immediately stood up and clasped his hands together: "General, I know Pang Da's character. Please help me to seek justice."

He looked at Qiao Jian'er and said coldly, "One of my soldiers went to the toilet and couldn't find it. She said he was nowhere to be found. It turns out he fell into the hands of the county lady and was beaten. She used this to falsely accuse me. But what kind of person do you think General He is? Would he so easily believe your lies?"

"What grudge do I have against the county lady? Why would she accuse me of such a terrible crime and try every possible means to kill me?"

Deputy General He touched his chin, looking as if he was considering something.

Regardless of whether Pangda did this or not, since the matter has come to light, we still have to come up with a solution that satisfies both parties and avoid making a bigger deal out of it.

He said, "Of course I believe Lieutenant Pang, and I also believe the county lord is not mistaken. This soldier acted on his own initiative, so just beat him to death. Lieutenant Pang's men got into trouble because of your poor supervision. You don't have to go to the examination hall these days. Just focus on training the soldiers at the training ground."

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldier was dragged onto the execution bench and hit with a stick, hitting his head hard, making a big hole. Blood gushed out, and the soldier died as his head dropped.

Such a sudden and bloody scene, with its irresistible violence and arrogance, made Qiao Jianer grip the handrail tightly, trying to calm his emotions.

Deputy General He then said to Qiao Jian'er, "The Emperor has been deeply troubled by state affairs, and worries every day. This matter has been properly resolved here. The County Lady does not need to disturb the Emperor. If the Emperor becomes angry, the consequences will be borne by the County Lady alone."

His tone seemed concerned, but it contained a warning and threat.

The problem was properly resolved, and Qiao Jian'er smiled in her heart, but she knew that Lieutenant General He was determined to protect Pang Da, so she couldn't continue to pester him, otherwise she would be in trouble.

She couldn't protect the soldiers, and they destroyed the examination hall, so they deserved to die, but she would not let his family down.

She neither agreed nor denied what Deputy General He said: "In that case, goodbye."

These people were bolder and more presumptuous than she had imagined. Now that they were dead and there was no evidence, she naturally couldn't bring this matter up to the emperor. But no matter what, she had to let Mu Xinghe take the exam with peace of mind.

She walked out of the gate, but the Pangda soldiers were still standing in the yard in an orderly and solemn manner, blocking her way.

Qiao Jianer frowned and looked back.

Pang Da's face twitched unnaturally, and he said in a very cold and sinister voice: "The county lady framed me and wanted to leave like this. This is too easy. If the news gets out, won't everyone in the army think that I, Pang Da, can be bullied?"

Lieutenant General He said, "What does Lieutenant Pang plan to do?" His tone was not blaming, but rather indulgent.

"From what I can see, the county lady's sudden attack on me must have been instigated by someone, perhaps targeting General He. I don't know what conspiracy is hidden behind this. It would be better to lock her up first and interrogate her thoroughly to get to the bottom of it."

Now that the soldiers had been executed, the initiative was in their hands.

"How dare you," Qiao Jian'er said coldly, "Everything I did today was legal and in compliance with regulations. Upon discovering improper behavior by Lieutenant Pang's men, I approached Lieutenant Pang's superiors and requested a disciplinary action. This is a normal and permitted procedure. Lieutenant Pang should be thankful that I didn't go directly to the Emperor. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to hold back now."

A trace of panic flashed across Pang Da's eyes. That's right, he not only wanted to punish Qiao Jianer, but he was also afraid that this matter would be brought to the attention of the emperor.

He looked at Lieutenant General He and hinted, "Yes, General. If Qiao Jian'er goes to the Emperor and starts gossiping about her, it's fine for a mere lieutenant like me, but you are one of the great generals of the inner army. You must not let her ruin your future."

After he said this, Lieutenant General He also became alert. Yes, they cannot let her go. This girl is very unforgiving. If she makes trouble to the higher-ups, the situation will be very serious.

Some things can be handled with care, but once they are weighed, they can weigh tens of thousands of pounds.

He then stared at Qiao Jian'er with an extremely hostile gaze and said, "What exactly is the County Lady's purpose? Are you really targeting this General? Who is behind you?"

A group of people surrounded her, drew their swords, and flashed coldly.

Qiao Lian'er raised her eyebrows. The darkness was unfolding so nakedly before her eyes. She really saw it.

They are not pretending at all.

But she was not nervous at all. She couldn't just enter this military compound without preparation and let herself be slaughtered.

A voice came from my mind: Little girl, we have reached the gate. I hope they didn’t do anything to you. You are so brave. Let me deal with these rats in the gutter.

I'm fine, but we've been surrounded, hurry up, Qiao Jianer said with his mind.

Another voice came: It was as if I heard Jianer's filial piety in my mind, saying that he got a 30-jin durian, which is rare in the world, and wanted to present it to me. I don't know if I heard it wrong.

Your Majesty heard correctly. There really is a 30-jin durian that can produce 12 chambers. However, I am trapped in the Inner Army Office. Lieutenant General He's subordinate officers wanted to sabotage the Ministry of Rites' Spring Examination Hall. I came to report to my superiors, but who knew they were in cahoots with each other? Now the soldiers who carried out the mission have been dealt with and are dead without any evidence. I am surrounded by people in the military office, and my soul is restless. I can only call out to Your Majesty from afar. It's a pity that the 30-jin durian cannot be presented to Your Majesty.

Qiao Jian'er still decided to make a fuss. Although there was no evidence, it would be a good thing to let the emperor be more cautious about Lieutenant General He and Lieutenant Pang. It would be best if she could cut off their future.

How audacious! They actually did this! They simply don't take me seriously. However, alas, without evidence, I can't convict them. I can only keep a close eye on them from now on. However, you can save Jian'er and my thirty kilograms of durian. I'll send Eunuch Qi over right now. Jian'er, find a way to delay them. Don't let them torture you.

In the Golden Palace.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Seeing the emperor lost in thought while holding the memorial, as if he were thousands of miles away, Eunuch Qi hurriedly called out.

He also saw a trickle of saliva flowing from the corner of the emperor's mouth, and he smacked his lips twice.

The emperor reacted and quickly ordered: "Take people to the inner army headquarters to see if my durian, ugh, sickle is there."
