Back at the house, Pei Yu learned that her mother fainted after hearing the news about Pei Chi's accident, and she still hasn't woken up. Only then did Pei Yu realize that the matter was far from simple as she imagined.
She soon learned from her father that Pei Chi had really taken bribes this time.
Pei Chi, I guess, has done a lot of bad things since he was a child. His father was afraid that he would not be a good person, so he just found him a job in the Ministry of Etiquette and let him muddle along.
Usually, if Pei Chi causes trouble, his father will be angry, but he will still find someone to help Pei Chi settle the matter.
His father often scolded Pei Chi for failing to live up to expectations, but he rarely fought against him, especially since Pei Chi grew up and never beat him. But this time when Pei Chi returned to the house, his father didn't even ask him. , directly asked the subordinates to take down Pei Chi, picked up a stick and hit Pei Chi on the buttocks, one stick after another, and yelled and cursed while beating him.
How could Pei Chi bear the grievance? After being beaten a few times, he screamed in pain and wailed: "Yu'er... Yu'er! Ah! Yu'er, help me, my brother is going to be beaten to death by... dad..."
Pei Yu felt that Pei Chi deserved it, so after being beaten a few times, she screamed and screamed, as if she was dead. However, she couldn't bear to hear Pei Chi continue to cry like this, so she had to step forward to stop him. The father wanted to hit the sexual area with the stick again. "Dad, let's not hit it for now. What's going on? Is it really serious?"
Father Pei was so angry that his hands were shaking. He stopped, but he still gritted his teeth and said angrily: "It's not his fault for accepting bribes, but it happened to be the fault of King Cheng! Who is King Cheng? He looks so nice on the surface. It’s easy to discuss, but he is a ruthless character who kills people without showing blood! Others kill one person to serve as a warning to others, but if you kill one person as a king, you will not lose anything, but you will gain two blood points. If you are caught by him, aren’t you just waiting to die? "
Pei Chi was lying on the ground wailing and screaming. After hearing what Father Pei said, his face turned even pale. Pei Chi endured the pain and crawled to Father Pei's feet, trembling, hugged Father Pei's legs and shook them. , cried and said: "Dad, dad, please save me, I don't want to die... I was wronged, I was forced to accept bribes!"
Pei Yu frowned, calmed down and said, "Who framed you?"
Before Pei Chi could defend himself, Pei's father sneered and said, "If you don't have greed, who can frame you? Don't talk nonsense about being forced to take bribes. Did Dad tell you before you became an official?" However, you can do anything, but you can't take bribes! How can you do any of the things dad told you? You can't even keep this bottom line, what kind of official are you?!"
Pei Chi cried: "I was wrong, Dad. I really know I was wrong, but what should I do now... Can't the King Cheng think that I am a first-time offender and forgive me? Dad, please go and beg him. father!"
When Father Pei heard this, he was so angry that he kicked him away, "You bastard, daddy is going to ask for the king? What are you asking for? Is it possible that you are going to bribe the king like you?!"
"Then what should I do... Dad... you can't ignore the child. The child doesn't want to go to jail... Dad, please save the child..." Pei Chi was probably really scared, and his face became increasingly pale.
And Pei Yu listened to her father talking to her bastard brother for a long time, and she probably understood what was going on. She frowned and asked her father directly: "Dad, if I confess the truth and repent, who will become the king?" Will you spare my brother’s life?”
