"It seems that the Lady of the Ge family is really virtuous. For the sake of her niece, Madam Cheng San, she even forgot the revenge of Madam Cheng Er for killing her son."

When Pei Yu heard Zi Mu say the word "virtuous", he deliberately looked at him, making him feel as if he was implicated by the third prince.

"The Lady of the Ge Family is really good to Madam Cheng San. Okay, let's not waste time. Did Pei Yu come here by himself?"

"Your Highness has asked me to bring a cavalry unit."

"That's good. Let them come out and kick the door. Remember, kick it, don't knock it."

Pei Yu nodded and turned to leave, whistling a few times in the distance. Soon a team of well-trained cavalrymen in uniform gathered together.

"Princess, what else do you need me to do?"

Mrs. Li never thought of taking the opportunity to run away, nor did she dare to run away. After all, it was too easy for a noble family like the He family to catch her.

"You should go back to Cheng's house first. Someone will come to look for you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. There is another play that needs your cooperation. Remember what happened today..."

"I went back to the Ge family to tell you that the fourth lady of the Cheng family had been taken away. After I told you, I went back to the Cheng family. On the way, I encountered bandits and all my hairpins and money were stolen."

After saying this, Mrs. Li tore off the bloody corner of her clothes.

"As someone arranged by the Lady of the Ge Family to be by Madam Cheng's side, you are smart to gain the trust of that vicious woman and become her housekeeper."

Zimu looked at Mrs. Li with satisfaction and pointed at the jewelry on the ground: "I don't want these things. Since you have already thought of an excuse, I will keep these things for you and return them to you when I have the chance."

After Mrs. Li left, Zimu gave an order: "Kick the door and drag the garbage on the ground into the Ge family."

The Ge family is a merchant family. Although they cannot be said to be extremely wealthy, they are still a wealthy family with considerable wealth.

Otherwise, the Ge family would not have been able to build such a large house in a place far away from others, and the space it occupied was not much smaller than that of the officials' homes in the capital.

The soldiers were all very strong, and before the Ge family’s butler could hear the noise and open the door, the seemingly sturdy wooden door had been kicked open.

"Who are you? Why are you causing trouble in my Ge family?"

Before the butler could finish his words, he saw two soldiers carrying the body of the murdered man from the Ge family.

"You, the fourth young master has been killed, someone come quickly..."

The butler ran and shouted, and the two servants who were following him were a little at a loss for a moment.

"You two drag this garbage and take us to find the person in charge of your family. Remember, it must be the one in charge."

When the two servants saw He Zijun draw out the half-finished sword that was still shining with a cold light, they were so frightened that they lifted up the body of Ge Jia Silang on the ground and trotted to lead the way.

When Zi Mu and his party arrived in front of Grandpa Ge, Grandpa Ge took the Lord and Lady of the Ge family to the door to see who was so arrogant as to kill their Ge family members.

"It seems that these few people are the master, mistress and grandfather of the Ge family."

The first thing the three people from the Ge family saw was the soldiers behind Zimu, all of whom were wearing the same uniform, carrying swords and arrows on their backs, and obviously were soldiers.

"Why don't you say anything? Don't you want to ask why I killed your son?"

At this time, the three people from the Ge family turned their eyes to Zimu who was standing in the front.

"May I ask your name, young lady? What did my son Silang do to offend you? Although Silang is a bit of a playboy, you should have an explanation for killing him so harshly."

The lady of the Ge family was indeed smart. She knew that since these people broke in through the door with the corpse, it meant that the Ge family was nothing in their eyes.

First he asked about the identities of Zimu and his group, then he tried to find a way out for them, and finally he indirectly asked them whether they would be implicated because of what Ge Jia Silang had done.

"My princess's surname is He." Yuechan didn't expect Pei Yu to speak, and it was not appropriate for the third and fourth sons of the He family to speak at this time.

The Ge family came from a merchant family and were all commoners without any official title. They knelt down and kowtowed, then politely invited Zimu to sit at the seat of honor in the main hall.

Of course Zimu didn't bother to be polite with them. After entering the main hall, he sat down in the upper seat. Yuechan and Yuchan stood behind Zimu.

The third and fourth sons of the He family sat naturally on either side of their sister. Pei Yu and the guards he brought stood behind the three members of the Ge family in the middle of the main hall.

The maid who received the gaze of the Ge family's mistress served tea and snacks to Zimu and her two brothers.

Zimu burst out laughing when he saw this, then his face darkened and he said, "I don't dare drink your tea."

"You are the princess, so you shouldn't attack the poor people without reason. May I ask what my son Silang did to offend you?"

After all, Ge Taigong had experienced war. If his sons were not so incompetent, he would have led his entire family to join the army like Cheng Shi.

Unfortunately, among his three sons, except for the current head of the Ge family who is somewhat smart and able to do some business, the eldest son has been weak since childhood.

The other two would become sitting ducks for the enemy once they entered the battlefield and would never come back alive.

"I certainly wouldn't kill someone for no reason. Your Erlang used foul language to tease me in front of my third and fourth brothers."

As soon as Zi Mu finished speaking, the faces of the three people from the Ge family darkened.

They have always known that Ge Jia Silang likes young girls and they have covered up for him many times before.

The dozen or so young girls aged eight or nine in the Silang courtyard of the Ge family were all bought by the second wife of the Ge family for her son.

But they never expected that one day the fourth son of the Ge family would be so blind as to flirt with the young girl who was accompanied by that group of guards.

"My third brother is a scholar and will be an official next year, but he has a good temper. My fourth brother is a military commander and was personally appointed as the General of Pingnan by His Majesty. So when he heard me being teased, he couldn't help but attack me."

"This, Silang offended the princess so much that he deserves death for his treason, but the princess did not even spare a girl of a few years old and deserves death." After Grandpa Ge finished speaking, the head and mother of the Ge family behind him nodded in agreement.

"is it?"

He Ziyu laughed after hearing what Grandpa Ge said. If housekeeper Li had not told the Ge family that there were more than a dozen girls aged eight or nine in the yard, he would have really believed Grandpa Ge's righteous words.

"Third brother, since Grandpa Ge and the Lord and Lady of the Ge Family also think that he deserves to die, then let's not talk about anything else."

Before the three Ge family members could breathe a sigh of relief, they heard Zimu continue, "Today I am here to seek justice for the young master."

"The daughter of the Cheng family has always been taken care of by her uncle. I'm afraid the princess shouldn't come to the Ge family to seek justice."

The words of the Ge family lady did not cause dissatisfaction among Ge Taigong. It must be said that talking to smart people is much easier.

"But this tea and the fabrics of the lady's clothes, and the jade pendants of Grandpa and the master of the Ge family are all specially made fabrics and materials that His Majesty rewards his meritorious officials."

"..."

"You know that these are gifts from Cheng Shi for his own children, but you still use them with a clear conscience. Shouldn't you ask for them back?"
