Episode 12

In the capital, all the officials were imprisoned in one place, and the air was filled with tension and depression.Old Mrs. Zhuang was worried every day and kept muttering, begging for the disaster to be safely overcome.At this time, Yuwen Chang'an heard news warning the twelve families that Pei Dafu's accomplices had been involved.He made a harsh statement, and if no one reported Pei Dafu's adopted son, one person would be executed every hour as punishment.

Zhuang Hanyan silently observed everyone's reactions. She noticed that Ruan Xiwen was extremely calm, which made her feel doubtful.She asked Ruan Xiwen privately if she knew the inside story and hoped that she could lend a helping hand to help everyone get out of the predicament.At the same time, Fu Yunxi, who has been in charge of Pei Dafu's case, was also imprisoned here.Other officials gathered around, hoping that he could reveal some truth.Seeing this, Fu Yunxi decided not to hide it anymore. He revealed that he had received anonymous reports and found that the Deng family's carriage appeared in front of the Pei family.

As soon as these words were said, the Deng family immediately became the target of public criticism and was mistaken for being an accomplice of the Pei family.The Deng family tried every possible way to defend themselves but no one believed it. They could only fight with the leaker, and the scene instantly became chaotic.At this moment, Fu Yunxi's mother and Azhi who had originally gone to the countryside were also caught.Seeing her daughter crying, Fu Yunxi was heartbroken and had an argument with the officers and soldiers.No one dared to offend the officers and soldiers, only Zhuang Hanyan stood up bravely. She advised Fu Yunxi to put down his weapons to avoid hindering the entire Fu family.She shocked the officers and soldiers with a few words, and finally the officers and soldiers let Azhi and others go and reunite them with Fu Yunxi.

Zhuang Hanyan originally wanted to use the clues of Pei Dafu to ask for Yuwen Chang'an, but was rejected.After a while, the officers and soldiers took away the Deng family's son and killed them on the spot in front of everyone.This scene scared everyone to death, and then the males were dragged out and killed until the early morning.When Zhuang Yuchi was taken away, in order to save his life, he lied that he knew the identity of Pei Dafu's adopted son, so as to delay time.However, he was still pulled away.Zhou Ruyin knelt in front of Ruan Xiwen and cried and told her that she had eavesdropped on Ruan Xiwen and Zhuang Hanyan secretly discussed the matter last night. It was obvious that Ruan Xiwen knew the identity of Pei Dafu's adopted son and hoped that she could report it and save Zhuang Yuchi.

Zhuang Hanyan looked at everyone's desperate eyes and felt a sense of pride in her heart.She encouraged everyone not to sit and wait for death, but to pick up the tools around them to resist.They have a large number of people, and they still have a chance of winning against more than a dozen officers and soldiers.Zhuang Hanyan's words aroused everyone's fighting spirit, and everyone united and prepared to fight to the death with the officers and soldiers.Seeing that the matter was a big deal, Yuwen Chang'an secretly summoned Zhuang Hanyan.

Yuwen Changan expressed his appreciation for Zhuang Hanyan's courage and admitted that this was just a show. Those people were not dead at all, just to find out the Pei family's rebellion.The chairman of the Chamber of Commerce reported himself that the suspect was among these twelve families.After investigation, the biggest suspect at present is Zhuang Shiyang.At this time, Ruan Xiwen came to meet and saw that her daughter had already known the plan between her and Yuwen Chang'an. She did not hesitate to self-harm and lied in front of everyone that she could not withstand the punishment. She specifically reported that Pei Dafu's rebellious son was Zhuang Shiyang, and pointed out that the banker's kitchen secret room directly leads to Pei's private house.It turned out that three years ago, Ruan Xiwen and Madam Chen accidentally discovered this secret room, walked deeper, and came directly to the Pei family.Since then, she has the opportunity to take revenge on Zhuang Shiyang.

Everyone was released, but the dealer was detained.At this moment, Zhuang Yushan still doesn't believe that the kind father is a bad person, and he puts his hopes on Fu Yunxi.However, Yuwen Chang'an brought an imperial edict, announcing that Zhuang Shiyang, Zhuang Lao Lady, Ruan Xiwen and Zhou Ruyin and his son would behead him tomorrow.Zhuang Yushan was dissatisfied and asked why Zhuang Hanyan didn’t have the name.It turned out that Zhuang Hanyan was adopted by Zhang Youchang, Danzhou two years ago and was no longer a member of the Zhuangjia.Only then did Zhuang Hanyan understand her mother's good intentions, why she has been driving her away for many years.
