The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

Su Jin gave the order.

Xie Changfeng, the commander of the Heartbreak Division, smiled coldly and led his men to rush over.

As the commander of the Heartbreak Division, he was responsible for arresting, executing, and carrying out executions. Their motto was "Sever all ties with a single stroke, and settle the score between life and death!"

That's exactly what he should do.

Xie Changfeng felt no pity for Liu Shi and her three children. Instead, he was filled with displeasure and irritability. He had long wanted to test whether her eloquence was better or the knife in her hand was sharper.

So, he waved his hand roughly.

The members of the Execution Division, like eagles swooping down on chicks, instantly subdued Liu and her three children.

Liu and her three children were instantly horrified.

His face was deathly pale.

Pei Jingzhi, who had been watching this scene, felt a perverse sense of pleasure welling up inside him. The veins on his hand holding the knife suddenly bulged, and then...

He turned around and knelt down in front of Ren Tianye with a "thud".

"Country, country, country..."

Wang Ming gave a helpless bitter smile and slapped down again.

Pei Jingzhi coughed and shouted, "Your Excellency, this sinful subject Pei Jingzhi is willing to serve Your Excellency. I beg Your Excellency to forgive past grievances and take in this sinful subject."

"This sinful subject still has the people of the world in his heart, and he still desires peace and prosperity for the nation. This sinful subject can still do things, and he still wants to do things..."

"Most importantly, the guilty official harbors hatred in his heart."

"I beg Your Excellency, please give this sinful subject a chance."

Ren Tianye's gaze was cold, and he did not agree to this long-awaited, hard-won talent.

Instead, he coldly replied, "I know your talent and have given you so many opportunities, but you didn't cherish them. Now that you've been beaten, do you realize how good I am?"

"Too late!"

"Where in the world are there so many good things waiting for you?"

Pei Jingzhi immediately let out a bitter laugh.

His face showed sorrow.

A deep sense of self-doubt and profound regret welled up within me.

Despite dedicating his life to the country, Xiao Mingzhao was not of the orthodox lineage.

He devoted his life to Lady Liu, but Lady Liu cheated on him!

He devoted his life to his children, but none of them were his own.

Now I finally realize I was wrong, but there's no turning back!

Wang Ming, standing to the side, was speechless.

He suddenly realized that some people are always too honest. When they encounter problems in areas they are not good at, they immediately fall into a psychological barrier of self-pity and never really think about the current situation.

We have no idea how to break this deadlock!

"Oh well, oh well, what can I do? I just can't bring myself to do it."

So Wang Ming snatched the knife from Pei Jingzhi's hand, but just as the knife reached his hand, he suddenly lost his grip, and the knife clattered to the ground.

Wang Ming exclaimed, "Ouch!" and said, "This knife of mine, it's usually never drawn, but once it's drawn, it's sure to draw blood. Today, it hasn't drawn blood yet, so I just can't put it back in."

"You're so disobedient."

Blood?

These two words rushed into Pei Jingzhi's muddled mind again. As if he had thought of something, Pei Jingzhi suddenly turned his head and looked at Liu Shi and the three bastards not far away.

Since the imperial court is not worth his loyalty and Ren Tianye refuses to take him in, his life has been a joke. So, when the joke comes to an end, he might as well go all out this time!

He bent down, picked up the knife, and suddenly rushed out.

They headed straight for Lady Liu.

Strangely, none of the elite guards in the courtyard stopped him; they all watched helplessly as Pei Jingzhi charged in front of the members of the Demon Suppression Division and the Love Suppression Division.

Su Jin, the deputy demon-suppressing envoy of the Demon-Suppressing Division, and Xie Changfeng, the commander of the Heart-Slaying Division, both seemed caught off guard and deliberately dodged.

He let the blade fall.

"Pfft!"

The blade pierced directly into Liu's body.

"You, you, you..."

Liu's eyes widened in disbelief. Pei Jingzhi, who doted on her, loved her, and had vowed to take care of her for the rest of his life, had actually plunged a knife into her body.

Liu's body went limp and she fell to the ground.

Blood was still flowing out, but it was not fatal.

This scene was exactly what Su Jin and Xie Changfeng had expected.

Especially Xie Changfeng, a skilled player.

He had anticipated this scene from the moment he saw Pei Jingzhi's blade aimed at her. After all, he knew very well that Liu Shi's earth-shattering words about Empress Xiao Mingzhao would definitely need to be taken back for a thorough interrogation.

This will give Pei Jingzhi a good time.

But we can't let Pei Jingzhi kill us all at once.

Otherwise, how would he explain it to the Duke?

Therefore, he was confident and bold enough to stand aside because he knew that Pei Jingzhi's blade, though capable of inflicting serious injuries, would not be fatal.

However, now that Lady Liu has fallen to the ground, the matter cannot be left unresolved.

Of course, this requires Su Jin to handle it.

Su Jin immediately rebuked him coldly: "Pei Jingzhi, how dare you! This is a criminal from my Demon Suppression Division. Her crimes haven't even been read out yet, and you've already executed her. My Demon Suppression Division is the most law-abiding place in the world. By doing this, aren't you trying to make my Demon Suppression Division appear heartless and unjust?"

The blood splattered all over Pei Jingzhi, which also cleared his head a bit. He quickly said, "Although the charges against Liu Shi have not been read aloud, the matter was committed in full view of everyone. How can she deny it?"

"If the Demon Suppression Division arrests people simply by fabricating charges, how can that be effective?"

"The Demon Suppression Division has its own laws!"

These words immediately touched upon Pei Jingzhi's forte, and his thoughts instantly flowed like a spring: "Since the Demon Suppression Division is responsible for capturing all these bewitching demons in the world, it should establish laws."

"To be obsessed with love and neglect one's own well-being deserves twenty strokes of the cane and the confiscation of one's property!"

"Those who disrupt the proper order of things for personal reasons, undermine the family's reputation, and drag their families and relatives into trouble shall be punished with fifty strokes of the cane and exiled three thousand miles to a bitter and cold place, with their relatives also implicated."

"Those who harm the nation for personal reasons, disrupt the court, neglect their duties, fail in their duties, collude with the enemy, leak secrets, or frame loyal officials shall be executed by slow slicing, cut in half at the waist, or given death by imperial decree. The principal offender's entire family, up to three generations, shall be executed, their property confiscated, and their crimes shall be publicized nationwide as a warning to others!"

At this point, Pei Jingzhi glared fiercely at Liu Shi, who was still unconscious and staring wide-eyed, as well as her three children who were trembling with fear, his tone more resolute than ever before.

It was as decisive as the clash of swords and spears.

"These people are officials who have caused chaos in the court because of their personal relationships; they deserve this punishment!"

Liu and her three children were completely dumbfounded.

Pei Jingzhi didn't just want to kill them?

They should be subjected to slow slicing and dismemberment!

They were to have their entire family, spanning three generations, executed, and their property confiscated, and this would be announced nationwide!

This is worse than death!

This performance made Su Jin nod, and then she knelt down before Ren Tianye and said, "Lord Duke, this Pei Jingzhi injured my wanted criminal, he must pay for it."

"At present, our Demon Suppression Division is newly established and lacks a clerk who can formulate rules. I think Pei Jingzhi is capable. For example, let me take him away and let him redeem himself."

Ren Tianye glanced at Pei Jingzhi, then said, "Shuwu (Clerk), that's too lenient on him. Just an ordinary guard from the Demon Suppression Division, the kind of guard who can kill with a knife!"

"Yes!" Su Jin replied respectfully.
