Chapter 12: What is the sin?
Mrs. Pei looked at Mrs. Bo in horror, as well as the dazzling treasure with golden light in the other party's hand.
"Although the eldest lady is from a small family, she should have read a book and know this treasure, right?" Mrs. Bo said kindly, and she lost all her domineering coercion: "This is a kind of night pearl." According to the laws of Great Xia, the night pearl produced in the crater of Changbai Mountain can only be enjoyed by the royal family, and even the prime minister's mansion cannot be kept privately. This night pearl was ordered by my uncle to lead people to Changbai Mountain in person, escorted it all the way to Beijing, and prepared to be presented to the royal family in a few days. ”
Under the brilliance of the night pearl, everyone present held their breath and concentrated, and the needles could be heard around them.
"I don't know how many people with bad intentions covet such rare treasures, and my uncle has also been a bandit seven or eight times along the way. Now that we have entered the capital, we will not enter the palace to offer treasures for a day, and we will carry it in our hearts for a day. After thinking about it, there was no way to carry it with him. Mrs. Bo looked at Mrs. Pei calmly, and finally sneered:
"This Miss Pei San has fallen in love with this night pearl, I am not surprised. If it is an ordinary treasure, Miss Pei San is young and ignorant, I will not pursue it. But the Night Pearl is a royal tribute, and it was ordered by the Holy Majesty to be escorted into Beijing by my uncle. Master Pei is the county governor of Fanyang City, and he has drafted legal documents for the government all his life, presumably Mrs. Pei knows very well what should be the crime of stealing royal tribute? ”
Mrs. Pei was trembling and couldn't say a word. After a while, his leg went limp and went down.
"Madame Bo, Madame Bo! You, do you have to make a fuss like this? Our Pei family is also an official family, and everyone is an official in the same dynasty...... You just don't like the scholar, you just think she is a maid who serves the prince, and you can't accept her into the door as a concubine? ”
"The eldest lady still didn't understand." Mrs. Bo said coldly: "What I am asking is, what is the crime of stealing royal tribute?" ”
Mrs. Pei let out a miserable howl violently, threw herself on the ground and kowtowed desperately: "Mrs. Bo, you have a lot, I was wrong, you can spare our family......"
Stealing royal tribute, beheading, and exile within the three clans.
She didn't expect that Mrs. Bo would treat her with such cruel means. Not only did she have to take the life of the scholar, but even her Pei family ......
It's over, it's all over......
She begged desperately for mercy, crying bitterly. Mrs. Bo smiled: "Mrs. Pei, do you think I don't know all the methods used by your family envoys?" Do you think that if you live in this Puji Temple, I will not understand your purpose? Do you think that even if you are a concubine, you can really climb to the Bofu? Big lady, even the little nun you bought to find out the news, I already know. I know everything about you, but I still let Miss Pei San enter the guest room of the prince, do you know why? ”
Mrs. Pei shook her head in a daze.
"It's because there are too many people like you who are interested in the position of the Lady of the Prince. I can only single out the most difficult one of you and smash it for everyone to see, and they will know the difficulty and retreat. Mrs. Bo said softly.
The position of Mrs. Shizi can only be reserved for the noble daughter of the Wang family. The people who coveted this position on the side had to be swept away one by one.
Want to be a concubine? Oh, don't say that the daughter of the Wang family will be unhappy, she is the prince...... No one is qualified to coerce her son!
