Bu Yan slightly bent his body, resting his elbows on his knees and leaning forward, his eyes cold and gloomy: "My Lord, why did you come here last night?"

Bu Yan was so close, his whole body was filled with murderous aura, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. Zhao Sui swallowed nervously and did not speak for a long time.

"Sir, the prince came here yesterday to slander the princess' reputation." Lin Qi reminded.

Bu Yan sneered: "How dare the prince slander the princess in front of me? You must have heard it wrong."

Lin Qi also nodded in agreement: "Indeed, I heard it wrong."

Several people's eyes fell on Zhao Sui again.

Zhao Sui gritted his teeth and said unwillingly: "Bu Yan, you are beating and interrogating an official of the imperial court for no reason. If I report you..."

"Everyone in the capital knows that the emperor's most trusted minister is me. If the prince wants to sue, then go ahead. If I cared, why would the prince show up in the prison?"

"You!" Zhao Sui was so angry that his teeth were about to break. He clenched his fists tightly. He finally understood why all the officials in the capital disliked Bu Yan.

Too arrogant.

But there is nothing I can do about Bu Yan.

"Prince Zhao, my patience is limited!" Bu Yan sneered.

Zhao Sui took a deep breath. A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. There was really no need for him to go against Bu Yan. It would not be too late to make plans after he got out.

"I was drunk yesterday and all I said was nonsense. Please don't take it to heart, Master Bu."

Zhao Sui squeezed out these words from between his teeth.

Extremely reluctant.

Bu Yan stood up straight, with a smile on his face, and winked at Lin Qi: "Untie Prince Zhao and let him sit down."

Lin Qi understood, bent down to help Zhao Sui up, and sent someone to bring him a chair.

Zhao Sui asked anxiously: "I have done what you said. When will Lord Bu let me go?"

"What's the hurry?" Bu Yan snapped his fingers, and someone immediately brought a long table with writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone on it.

Zhao Sui's eyelids twitched.

"Prince Zhao was enraged by love and broke into the Jingzhao Yin Mansion at night to assassinate me. Luckily I escaped... Write!" Bu Yan's smile disappeared and he tapped the paper on the table with his fingertips.

Zhao Sui frowned, but before he could refuse, Lin Qi forced him to raise his hand and put it on the table. A dagger was clearly on the table, with blood stains of the criminal on it.

"Bu Yan, don't go too far!" Zhao Sui was furious, veins on his forehead throbbing, he made up his mind: "Kill me if you have the guts, I won't write it."

Bu Yan sighed and leisurely sat on a chair beside him, watching Zhao Sui being dragged away again, with whips and torture tools brought up.

The prison was filled with screams.

Zhao Sui's face turned pale from the torture, and his eyes were fixed on Bu Yan.

"Go and invite Duke Su!" Bu Yan gave the order without further ado.

"Bu Yan, what are you going to do?" Zhao Sui was furious: "If one day you fall into my hands, I will tear you into pieces!"

Bu Yan sneered, looked the man in front of him up and down, clicked his tongue twice, and really didn't understand what Lu Jingning saw in him.

"Noisy!"

With a glance, Lin Qi picked up the smelly rag and blocked Zhao Sui's mouth.

Quiet in the ears.

Half an hour later, Duke Su rushed over. Seeing Zhao Sui beaten beyond recognition, he was stunned for a long time before speaking: "Sui brother!"

Bu Yan cleared his throat, reminding Duke Su to look over. Duke Su clenched his fists and asked angrily, "Bu Yan, what do you mean?"

"Duke Su, Prince Zhao attempted to assassinate me yesterday. I thought it was an assassin, but I just found out during the interrogation that it was actually Prince Zhao of Duke Su." Bu Yan looked innocent.

Duke Su's eyes widened. How many people in the capital didn't know Zhao Sui? How could Bu Yan not recognize him?

It's obviously intentional!

"Bu Yan!" Duke Su was so angry that he was shaking all over.

Lin Qi properly removed the cloth from Zhao Sui's mouth, and Zhao Sui immediately shouted, "Father!"

Duke Su came to his son with a distressed look on his face. Seeing his son covered in whip marks, he was furious and said, "Why don't you release the prince now?"

No one came forward.

Zhao Sui stared at Bu Yan and said, "I will definitely file a complaint with the emperor. I don't believe that you can still control the capital!"

Bu Yan smiled nonchalantly, raised his eyes and looked at the Duke of Su and his son: "Prince Zhao has a really bad memory, have you forgotten that I still have Mo Yunyao in my hand."

When it comes to Mo Yunyao, both the father and son are speechless.

They knew Mo Yunyao's identity very well. Once they found out the truth, the Duke Su's Mansion would be doomed.

Duke Su suppressed his anger and came to Bu Yan: "Lord Bu, may I have a word with you?"

"Everyone here is my trusted confidant. Duke Suguo, please feel free to speak." Bu Yan had no intention of getting up from his chair. He pointed to the incense burner that had been lit at some point and said, "I will release Mo Yunyao. How about you and your son write a written agreement?"

"Father, don't listen to his nonsense." Zhao Sui said.

Duke Su thought for a moment and asked, "What does Lord Bu want?"

"Yesterday, the Emperor bestowed Princess Fenghe in marriage to me. Prince Zhao broke in late at night and slandered the princess' reputation in front of me, which made me lose face. I really can't swallow this." Bu Yan simply laid his cards on the table.

Upon hearing that this was the reason why Zhao Sui fell into Bu Yan's hands, Duke Su immediately looked at Zhao Sui with displeasure flashing in his eyes.

Zhao Sui lowered his head guiltily.

"My Lord Duke and the Crown Prince just need to write a written statement stating that it was the Crown Prince who broke into Jingzhao Yin's house without permission last night to assassinate her. Don't worry, I won't take this thing out. As long as the Crown Prince doesn't slander the princess anymore, I will pretend that this incident never happened and we won't interfere with each other in the future. How about that?" Bu Yan said.

Duke Su pursed his lips, his eyes moving and a gleam of light flashed in them.

"If the Duke doesn't write it, the Crown Prince will not be able to leave the prison."

Bu Yan stood up, glanced at the incense in the incense burner that had already burned out, and impatience slowly appeared on his face.

Duke Su knew that Bu Yan was a treacherous and cunning man, and since he had said so, he would definitely do it. He gritted his teeth and asked, "When will you release him?"

The person he was talking about was Mo Yunyao.

"immediately!"

So Duke Su gritted his teeth and wrote a document. Zhao Sui exclaimed, "Father!"

Duke Su ignored him and finished writing in one go, then handed it to Bu Yan. Bu Yan took a look at the words and confirmed that they were correct. He smiled and said, "Duke, you are so courageous!"

Mo Yunyao is a bomb in Bu Yan's hand. Once it explodes, the entire Duke Su's Mansion will be in trouble. However, after writing the document, if Bu Yan turns against him, at most Zhao Sui will be held accountable.

Duke Suguo still knows which is more important, a person or a mansion.

"Write!" Duke Su handed the pen to Zhao Sui. Under his sharp gaze, Zhao Sui reluctantly took out the pen and wrote.

Bu Yan took it, looked at it, and smiled with great satisfaction: "My Lord, take care!"

Duke Su helped Zhao Sui out of the prison. Before leaving, Duke Su looked at Bu Yan meaningfully, the anger in his heart lingered for a long time.

It is really shameful that a dignified Duke was threatened by a Jingzhao Yin!

The two had just returned to the Duke Su's Mansion and hadn't even sat down yet when they heard that Mo Yunyao had been released by the Emperor. Not only that, he was also granted a mansion.

Duke Su couldn't help but ask, "When did this happen?"

The housekeeper said, "My Lord, the decree was issued last night, but Mo Yunyao was only released this morning."

boom!

It was as if something exploded in Duke Su's head, and he angrily threw the teacup on the table to the ground.

He was actually tricked by Bu Yan.

The emperor had originally intended to release Mo Yunyao, but he was framed by Bu Yan. This is outrageous.

"Father..." As soon as Zhao Sui opened his mouth, Duke Su immediately gave him a sharp look and said disappointedly, "Who told you to go to Jingzhao Yinfu in the middle of the night, you idiot, you just handed the evidence to him for nothing!"

Zhao Sui's eyes darkened. Yesterday, Lu Jinglang sent someone to give him a message saying that Lu Jingning had been having an affair with Bu Yan for a long time, and was very likely pregnant with Bu Yan's child.

In a fit of rage, he wanted to humiliate Bu Yan and threaten Bu Yan to do something, but who knew that Bu Yan was so cunning.

"Go to the ancestral hall and don't get up without my order!" Duke Su was now extremely disappointed with his son.
