As the two were lost in their own thoughts, they suddenly heard a commotion outside the Pei residence.

It should be noted that the Pei residence occupies a considerable area, so the fact that a commotion could be heard in the study meant that something serious had happened. The two men exchanged a glance; one's eyes were numb and empty, while the other's were gleaming, but they both understood the same thing from each other's eyes.

—Let's go out and take a look.

The two went out together, but before they even reached the gates of the mansion, they heard a sharp, stern voice: "Su Jin, the deputy commander of the Demon Suppression Division, has been ordered by the Duke to capture the bewitching demon..."

"Wei Chengye!"

Demon Suppression Division!

Chen Liang was startled.

Whatever comes to mind comes to pass!

As he quickened his pace and left the mansion, he saw fifty or sixty elite soldiers, led by Su Jin, who were riding horses and had completely surrounded Wei Chengye.

Su Jin sat high on his horse, looking down at them as if they were ants.

He read aloud Wei Chengye's crimes one by one.

After speaking, he coldly said, "Wei Chengye, you have violated the laws of my Demon Suppression Division, now..."

"Come with me to the Demon Suppression Bureau's office."

"Xie Changfeng."

"Your subordinate is here."

"Take Wei Chengye away."

"Okay!"

Xie Changfeng laughed loudly, dismounted gracefully, and strode toward Wei Chengye.

Wei Chengye, who had just been hurling insults and wanted to condemn Pei Jingzhi as a fool who didn't understand love, was now deathly pale.

The Demon Suppression Division has risen to prominence, looming over the capital like a dark cloud, and has already killed several high-ranking officials, making it an organization that inspires fear.

just now……

Is this dark cloud about to descend upon his head?

Wei Chengye could hardly bear to imagine what a miserable fate he would have if he fell into the hands of the Demon Suppression Division.

He quickly begged for mercy, trembling, "Big, big, big..."

"Big what?"

"People, people, people..."

"What person?" Xie Changfeng sneered disdainfully. He couldn't stand this kind of coward the most, and directly reached out and picked up Wei Chengye like a chicken.

Trembling, Wei Chengye finally managed to say, "My lord, I... I've surrendered! I... I sent Pei Jingzhi's plan to rebel to the Demon Suppression Division... I... I've surrendered..."

"Really? But we haven't received it." Xie Changfeng smiled warmly, but that smile seemed somewhat unsettling to Wei Chengye. "Besides, even if we had received it, what difference would it make?"

"In our Demon Suppression Division, merit is merit, and demerit is demerit."

"Because of this old woman, you have neglected your duties and disregarded the laws of the court. This is a capital offense."

"Come on, let's go to the Demon Suppression Division and have some fun!"

He was thrown out, and immediately guards from the Demon Suppression Division grabbed him. Wei Chengye panicked completely. When he caught a glimpse of Pei Jing out of the corner of his eye, he grabbed at him like a lifeline and started shouting like a madman.

"Lord Pei, Lord Pei, save me, save me..."

"You are my father's beloved friend, his brother! You can't just stand by and watch me be taken away by the Demon Suppression Division!"

Pei Jingzhi snorted coldly.

Although he knew in his heart that he hated Ren Tianye's absolute power, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved at this moment.

He replied, "Just go and see for yourself."

"Once you join the Demon Suppression Division, I'll personally bring you your meals!"

Wei Chengye's heart sank to the bottom of the lake, knowing that all hope was lost. At the last moment before he was taken away, he tried to turn his head and take one last reluctant look at Cai Genhua.

He cried out, "I'm sorry, my darling Cai Gen Hua, I... I may not be able to marry you in this life. Let's be husband and wife in the next life..."

"Pfft!"

Cai Genhua immediately knelt down, her face filled with shock, and said, "Lord Wei, what are you saying?"

"This servant is just an old woman responsible for your daily life, your maid. How dare I presume to claim such powerful connections? You, you mustn't be joking with me."

"What?"

Wei Chengye's eyes widened, then turned bloodshot, and finally, his eyes were bloodshot with rage: "Cai Genhua, you, you, you..."

"My name is Zhang Li, not Cai Genhua," Cai Genhua said. "How can you speak such nonsense if you can't even remember my name?"

"Don't let people laugh at us."

Cai Genhua spoke in a measured tone, her expression showing a hint of nervousness in the face of the Demon Suppression Division, but her demeanor remained calm.

Turning to Su Jin, he said, "Commander, this Lord Wei Chengye has absolutely no relation to me. I was merely bought by Lord Pei to clean for Lord Wei Chengye. How could I possibly marry him?"

"Besides, I'm almost fifty, I've had eight children, and my menstruation has stopped. How could I possibly dare to even think about finding another partner in this lifetime?"

"Even if you're really looking, you should find someone who's your equal."

"I would rather die than associate with Lord Wei."

Su Jin, perched high on her horse, looked at Cai Genhua with a half-smile.

Listen to her sophistry.

He quickly understood the Duke's intention.

So, there was another reason for making her a member of the Demon Suppression Division.

If it were an ordinary person, upon hearing Cai Genhua's words and seeing her attire, they would most likely believe that what Cai Genhua said was true, be moved by her tears, and probably let her go.

But Su Jin is different.

Having weathered many storms, she could see right through Cai Genhua's thoughts at a glance.

So, after Cai Genhua stopped talking, he directly ordered Xie Changfeng, "What this old woman said makes some sense. Take her to the Demon Suppression Division as well, and question her properly when we get there."

"That scoundrel Wei Chengye dared to use such methods to slander her. I, Su Jin, must get justice for her."

"Yes!" Xie Changfeng grabbed the vegetable root flower like an eagle snatching a chick, tossed it aside, and had it held down by a guard.

"My lord, I... I really have nothing to do with this! I'm innocent! I'm innocent! I... I... I..."

Cai Genhua's terrified cries went unheard.

Su Jin didn't even bother to look at him again, but instead turned his gaze to Pei Jingzhi and said, "Su Jin, Deputy Commander of the Demon Suppression Division, pays his respects to Lord Pei. I am in armor and cannot dismount to perform the salute. I hope Lord Pei will understand."

Seeing that Pei Jingzhi did not respond, Su Jin smiled and said, "The Duke has already recommended Lord Pei to His Majesty. I wonder if Lord Pei has made up his mind yet?"

"Now that we have unexpectedly met, I urge Lord Pei to give me a clear answer so that I can explain myself to the Duke when I return!"

Pei Jingzhi remained silent, then turned and returned to the Pei residence.

Su Jin shook her head slightly, but didn't say anything more. She led her people back. This time, with Wei Chengye in her hands, she had to make him tell her everything he knew.

About prostitutes!

Regarding the late emperor!

About... that woman with the same heart knot.

Especially regarding... a woman who resembles her third sister, Su Li!

Perhaps this time, I can finally clear up my doubts!
