chapter 12

Pei Zhan was just about to berate her when he crossed over to Ren Anle and saw the vast crowd of people at the end of the street. The sound of Gu Qishan's cursing and ridicule could be heard faintly. Feeling that something was wrong, he said angrily, "Lord Ren, what is this all about!"

"Wu Yue not only confessed that Du Tingsong was the one who leaked the examination questions, he also gave a copy of the examination questions to the young marquis of the Marquis of Zhongyi. Since there's evidence, it is natural to ask the Young Marquis to go through the hall for questioning." Ren Anle leapt down from her horse and said.

The Young Marquis of the Marquis of Zhongyi's residence, the first son of Gu Kuan? Pei Zhan only felt a thunderbolt strike him and his blood flowed backwards. He shivered and pointed at Ren Anle, suddenly understanding and filled with anger:

"Ren Anle, you yielded to this official yesterday for the sake of this official's token!"

If there was no token, how would the magistrates of the Da Lisi dare to take the Young Marquis of the Marquis of Zhongyi back?

Ren Anle didn't say anything, but just walked towards the stone steps of the government office.

In the end, Pei Zhan was very human. His eyes turned and he cast a meaningful glance. He lowered his voice and spoke with a warning tone, "Lord Ren, this official will give you a reminder. Do not follow other people's nonsense. Now send the Young Marquis back to the Marquis of Zhongyi's residence. This official guarantees that the Lord Marquis will definitely ignore the previous affairs."

Between the deafening silence, Huang Pu's eyebrows wrinkled slightly and a sweat formed at the corners of his brow as he watched the approaching Ren Anle.

"Lord Pei." Ren Anle took a few slow steps and walked to the Da Li government office. Her gait calm. She casts her eyes down and her expression unspeakably free and at ease, "Have you forgotten what Ren Anle's origin is?"

Pei Jin was stunned. Ren Anle lowered her head, leaned forward and spoke word by word: "I, Ren Anle, have fished my life out of the pile of dead body on the battlefield. Do you think I am still afraid of death?"

The words that fell on his ears seemed to carry the fury of thousands of roaring military horses. Pei Zhan was so shocked that he took a step backwards and looked at Ren Anle who had a smile on her lips and cold eyes. He sucked in a cold breath, unable to say a word.

In the middle of the conversation, Wu Chong had already led the magistrates and tied up Gu Qishan to the bottom of the stone steps.

The people behind them seemed to have felt the suffocating atmosphere in front of the magistrate's office, and they all fell silent.

"Lord Pei, why don't you tell these people to let me go!" Gu Qishan seized the opportunity and yelled.

Pei Zhan hurriedly ordered, "Wu Chong, this is a misunderstanding. This case has nothing to do with the Young Marquis. Hurry up and quickly send the young marquis back to the marquis' residence."

"Lord Pei, just now in the Juxian House, Commander Wu clearly said that the fraud case was related to Gu Qishan, so why are you taking it back now!"

In the crowd, they don't know when the exam candidates who were at the Juxian Building just now all gathered outside the Da Lisi. When they heard that Pei Zhan was going to release Gu Qishan, they came out and questioned him loudly.
