Yue Jingsheng couldn't help but laugh even more happily when he said this: "Your Highness, the families of those girls have withdrawn the case, what are you still insisting on? Their families have confirmed that their deaths have nothing to do with me, and you still want to try me? What are you thinking?"

Those bitches were naturally killed accidentally when he was playing.

However, the families of those women accepted bribes from the Yue family and had already withdrawn the case, so he was not worried at all.

He just looked down on Xie Xuan.

The case is over now, why is he still pretending?

He has already lost, so why can't he just admit it openly?

Can't he afford to lose?

He looked at Xie Xuan carefully for a while, and said proudly: "Your Highness Prince Xuan, are you so unwilling to accept this? Unfortunately, even if you are unwilling, it is useless! No one cares how those three women died, and you will never figure it out!"

Xie Xuan clenched his fists in his sleeves. He looked at Yue Jingsheng and said word by word: "Yue Jingsheng, what I want to try today is not the case of those three women. It is the case of misappropriation of military funds!"

Yue Jingsheng's smug smile froze instantly. He looked at Xie Xuan in astonishment, with a flash of panic in his eyes: "What did you say?"

What case of misappropriation of military funds? Why did Xie Xuan suddenly bring up such a case?

Did Xie Xuan know what he did? No, this time, even his parents and aunt didn't know about it, so Xie Xuan couldn't possibly know!

Xie Xuan looked at Yue Jingsheng and said slowly, "The Dali Temple has received a report that you, Yue Jingsheng, embezzled military funds, passed inferior goods off as good ones, and used inferior food and grass to replace superior military rations to enrich yourself! This prince will present the memorial to His Majesty, and His Majesty has ordered this prince and the Embroidered Uniform Guard to secretly investigate this matter!"

Yue Jingsheng shuddered. The people around him were obviously his own people! Who would report him? Impossible!

He looked at Xie Xuan and said quickly: "I didn't do these things!"

Xie Xuan sneered: "Isn't this an investigation? Whether it is true or not, we will naturally get the result after a thorough investigation. If Master Yue cooperates, everyone will be safe! If Master Yue does not cooperate, I am afraid you will suffer a little!"

"You...you guys..." Yue Jingsheng's face was filled with fear. "Are you planning to force a confession out of me?"

Yun Chuwei couldn't help laughing out loud: "Why have I never heard anyone accuse the Imperial Prison and the Embroidered Uniform Guard of forcing prisoners to confess under torture?"

Yue Jingsheng choked!

Of course, no one said that the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Imperial Prison tortured people into confessing! Because tortured confessions are something that people do.

The Imperial Prison is hell, and the Embroidered Uniform Guard is the devil.

Once you are sent to the imperial prison, you will be lucky if you can still breathe. Being tortured into confessing in this purgatory on earth is not enough.

But this is the government office directly under His Majesty's jurisdiction, and no one dares to say anything.

He was not worried or afraid before, because he thought Yun Chuwei had captured him just to avenge her second brother.

Now he knew that things were not that simple.

He thought of something and felt a chill all over his body.

He looked at Yun Chuwei and said, "You did it on purpose! You deliberately made everyone think that you arrested me just to vent your anger for your second brother. In fact, you had already thought about handing me over to His Royal Highness Prince Xuan from the beginning, right?"

When everyone thought that Yun Chuwei was just acting on impulse, his father and mother would also think that it was okay even if they didn't get him out at the first opportunity.

No one knew that Yun Chuwei and his team were investigating the military expenditures and rations. Everyone would relax because of this!

And he!

If he can't bear it, he's doomed!

She did it on purpose! Yun Chuwei did it on purpose!

Yun Chuwei looked at Yue Jingsheng and said with a smile: "Yes, I did it on purpose. Your father still thinks that I will only beat you a few times to vent my anger for my second brother, and I will not do anything to you at all."

"It just so happens that your father was reprimanded by His Majesty before, so he was patient and did not come to rescue you immediately, fearing that he would displease His Majesty again! Now, you can only rely on yourself! Do you think you can withstand the severe punishment in the imperial prison?"

Yue Jingsheng looked at Yun Chuwei, his eyes full of fear.

Not long ago, he thought that Yun Chuwei was just a woman who grew up in the mountains. Although she had a good family background, she did not receive a good education and could not even be considered a noble lady.

But now, he knew.

Yun Chuwei was indeed not a lady from a noble family. She did not have the dignity and poise, nor the gentleness and virtuousness, of a lady from a noble family.

She is a devil! A devil that eats people!

"Yun Chuwei, let me out! Let me out quickly! If the Queen Aunt knew that you tortured me, she would never let you go!" Yue Jingsheng said in panic.

Now he just wants to get out of here, he just wants to go home.

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Indeed, if we torture you but cannot find any clues, the Queen will definitely not let us go. However, if we can put the evidence on the table in the Imperial Study, guess, are you a nephew to the Queen, or is she the target of a righteous cause?"

Yue Jingsheng looked at Yun Chuwei, and the fear in his heart spread throughout his body.

Yun Chuwei continued, "So, don't waste your time! Save your energy and do your best to endure the torture in this imperial prison. I wish you good luck!"

Yue Jingsheng's hands kept shaking and he opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.

Yun Chuwei turned to Xie Xuan and Huo Qingjue, restrained her smile, and said lazily: "I'll leave it to you!"

Xie Xuan met Yun Chuwei's eyes, noticed the fatigue in her eyes, and asked in a low voice: "I'll take you back to rest!"

He always felt that Yun Chuwei's health seemed to be much worse in this life. He didn't understand why this was the case.

Yun Chuwei shook his head: "I can go back by myself! We don't have much time!"

Yue He, that old man, is not an easy person to deal with. He should realize that something is wrong soon.

At that time, he would definitely work with the Queen to rescue Yue Jingsheng.

If His Majesty speaks, she will have no choice but to let him go!

Therefore, they need to get evidence from Yue Jingsheng before Yue He reacts.

Xie Xuan did not insist.

Huo Qingjue tried to speak: "Your Highness Prince Xuan is busy, so I will take you there!"

Yun Chuwei waved his hand: "No need. You stay and cooperate with His Royal Highness Prince Xuan!"

Huo Qingjue: ...

It's not that he doesn't want to cooperate with His Royal Highness King Xuan, but he doesn't know how he has offended His Royal Highness King Xuan. The look in His Royal Highness King Xuan's eyes when he was looking at him was as if he wanted to skin him alive!

He always felt that if he stayed with King Xuan, he would die soon!

Huo Qingjue thought of an excuse to send Yun Chuwei off and find other people to cooperate with His Royal Highness Prince Xuan.

However, Yun Chuwei had already given the order and he could not refute it.

Yun Chuwei saw what Huo Qingjue was thinking, smiled, reached out her hand, patted Huo Qingjue on the shoulder, and said soothingly: "Don't worry, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan won't eat you!"
