Chapter 1150 - 263: Borrow the Dead to Resurrect the Soul_2
Having recently concluded the morning court session, Pei Wenchen, Pei Wenli, and Pei Zongli were waiting outside the palace gates. As they saw all the chancellors leave the palace, they immediately stepped forward to block Liang Bing, "Chancellor! Please save the people of My Great Chu, save our Emperor forever! Slay the demon to protect the Great Chu Imperial Court!"
Liang Bing was startled, "Who are you people? Why are you causing such a commotion here?"
Other officials who had come out stopped too, wondering who these people were, appearing as if the sky was falling.
Pei Wenchen lifted the hem of his robe and knelt, "Chancellor! Your student must accuse Tiance General Pei Qin! She is not Pei Qin! She is a demon possessing a body, using Borrow the Dead to Resurrect the Soul! She brings calamity and chaos to the whole land of My Great Chu! She is the disaster that brings ruin to the country!"
Astonishment widened the eyes of many officials and banner-holding guards outside the palace.
Liang Bing’s expression changed, and he immediately rebuked, "Nonsense! General Pei is a Heaven-sent lucky general, personally titled Tiance General by the Emperor, a meritorious figure of Great Chu! How could she possibly be a demon!?"
Pei Wenli exclaimed loudly, "Chancellor! Please see clearly! Pei Qin is my younger cousin. She grew up farming at home, and at fourteen, she fell off a cliff. She had died yet miraculously came back to life, and her personality changed drastically! Before, my cousin could neither read nor did she understand any of such bizarre things! Those skateboards, hand carts, foreign potatoes, soy sauce, thousand-year eggs—such items are hard to gather even for ordinary talents, yet she handles them independently and even understands how to make mortars and bombs! Didn’t the Wa Ci say it took them over a decade to finally create the Thunder Cannon? How could she glance at them and make bombs!? And those fireworks, clearly it’s that demon’s witchcraft to enchant the people!"
"Today, the common people worship her as a deity, and the Emperor too is enchanted by her, entrusting her with important missions, even going against ancestral customs for her, causing great disorder among men and women in the realm! Chancellor! Every word your student says is true! If you don’t believe, you can summon the villagers who have watched my cousin grow up and they will confirm!"
Both of them had studied the Holy Book for over a decade, were naturally eloquent, and had been plotting this for a long time, revealing all of Pei Qin’s abnormal deeds, accusing her of being a demon possessing a body, using Borrow the Dead to Resurrect the Soul.
"Master Duxu has returned from his travels, and if you don’t believe it, Chancellor, his questioning will make it clear!" Pei Wenchen raised the proposal loudly.
