After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

unambiguous evidence?

Granny Liu shuddered, and the color on her face suddenly disappeared, but she still didn't cry until she saw the coffin. "I don't know what crime I have committed, my Lord, please understand!"

She shouted in a trembling voice, then lowered her head and knelt on the ground.

Having lived for so many years, she is certainly not an ignorant or stupid woman, as she has caught thieves and seized stolen goods, and caught adulterers in pairs.

This Jingzhao Yin said that the evidence was conclusive, but he did not directly produce the evidence, so it was very likely a fraud.

Xu Lingyun hadn't thought that he could trick her into telling the truth from the beginning. He stared coldly at Mrs. Liu who was kneeling on the ground, "Instead of crying out to me here, why don't you tell me the truth? I will give you a lighter punishment because you have proved your worth."

"I don't know what you mean, sir. Please explain it to me."

Mrs. Liu refused to give in.

The one who killed people to silence them was his own son Xiao Ye. As long as he didn't give himself up, Jingzhao Yin would have no way to convict him.

Poisoning and killing someone is a capital crime, and she will never admit it until the last moment!

"I really can't cry until I see the coffin!"

Xu Lingyun picked up the gavel and slammed it down heavily, "Go, bring up the prisoner Qiao Lao San!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly raised her head.

Qiao Laosan is not dead? !

Bai Youyou crossed her arms and walked in front of Granny Liu, looking down at her, "Granny Liu, tell the truth now, you still have a chance to redeem yourself, but if you remain stubborn, you will have no chance to regret it later."

"I don't know what the fourth lady means."

Mrs. Liu lowered her head again, so as not to let Bai Youyou see the panic in her eyes.

"How could you not know?"

Bai Youyou sneered, "Your son was ordered by Aunt Qiao to kill Qiao Lao San to silence him. Do you think he was caught just by accident?"

Mrs. Liu suddenly clenched her hands on her knees, she clenched her teeth, pursed her lips and said nothing.

Bai Youyou leaned over to Mrs. Liu's ear and said with a fake smile, "This is Master Xu's trick to lure you into a trap. You have been fooled."

Mrs. Liu's heart suddenly sank, but she still bluffed, "What do you mean by inviting you in or not? I don't know what the fourth young lady is talking about."

"Your son Xiao Ye is already terminally ill and doesn't have much time left. I think this is for the sake of a better future for you and your grandchildren." Bai Youyou straightened up, "But there is some money that you can take if you are alive, but you can't spend if you are not alive."

As soon as she finished speaking, Captain Liu brought the blood-stained Qiao Laosan to the court, followed by Huang Cuilian, whose eyes were red and swollen.

"grown ups--"

Huang Cuilian was crying and was about to speak, but she was so scared by the bang of Xu Lingyun's gavel that she shut her mouth tightly.

"I ask you a question, and you answer it again."

"Yes."

Huang Cuilian shrank her neck and stepped aside cautiously.

Mrs. Liu looked up at Qiao Laosan who was kneeling beside her, then her gaze moved down to his bloody, red and purple hands, and her breathing couldn't help but become heavier.

Being tortured?

Xiao Jie beside her saw the miserable Qiao Lao San and was so scared that he leaned against Liu Pozi, "Grandma, I'm scared."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Mrs. Liu held his hand and comforted him softly.

Xu Lingyun asked sternly, "Qiao Laosan, do you recognize the person next to you?"

Old Third Qiao tilted his head to look at Mrs. Liu beside him, pursed his lips, and finally shook his head.

"do not know."

He was originally a beggar. Twenty years ago, there was a snowstorm in the capital. He finally begged for a steamed bun, but it was snatched away by a beggar in the same group.

He had been hungry for three days at that time, and he tried his best to get the steamed bun back.

But he was small and thin, and was no match for those people. Not only did he not get the steamed bun back, he was also beaten to the point of being on the verge of death.

If Aunt Qiao had not passed by the alley at that time and gave him a cotton coat and two hot steamed buns, he would have frozen to death on the street.

After being tortured several times, Qiao Laosan's voice became extremely hoarse.

Of course he knew Mrs. Liu, as the cotton-padded jacket and steamed buns that day were given to him by Mrs. Liu herself.

Huang Cuilian looked up at Xu Lingyun and finally couldn't help shouting, "Just tell me, the adults said that your crime will only get you six months in prison, and after six months, you'll be out."

Qiao Laosan lowered his head and said nothing.

Huang Cuilian originally wanted to live a good life with Qiao Laosan for the sake of this child, but now seeing his death, Huang Cuilian made up her mind, "Qiao Laosan, I am pregnant with your child. If you don't tell me the truth, I will abort the child!"

Qiao Laosan looked at her belly with red eyes, his dark pupils full of struggle.

He was a beggar, without a home or relatives, and he had never thought of having this child.

But Aunt Qiao saved his life!

Qiao Laosan gritted his teeth, but still turned his head away and stopped looking at Huang Cuilian.

Xu Lingyun rarely saw such a loyal person. Even after suffering so much punishment, he still refused to plead guilty.

"Bring Xiao Ye up."

Captain Liu ordered his men to cover their mouths and noses and brought Xiao Ye, who was covered in mud, to the court.

Seeing Xiao Ye, Xiao Jie jumped up from the ground and ran towards Xiao Ye with a happy face.

"father!"

"Don't go there!"

"Don't, don't come over here."

Xiao Ye spoke weakly, and Mrs. Liu panicked and prepared to get up to stop him.

Captain Liu grabbed Xiaojie who was about to rush over and said, "Your father has lung disease, don't go over there."

Granny Liu had previously told Xiaojie that his father's disease was contagious, so he stood there obediently.

"Cough, cough, cough—"

Xiao Ye collapsed on the ground with a thick layer of cotton cloth covering his mouth and nose. He coughed violently through the cotton cloth from time to time.

Xu Lingyun picked up the gavel and dropped it heavily. There was a loud bang, and the whole body of the person trembled.

"Xiao Ye, you said you bought the poison yourself. Can you tell me where you bought it and who sold it to you?"

"I don't remember."

Xiao Ye was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He still said he knew nothing when asked.

Bai Youyou stood up and said, "Master Xu, I saw with my own eyes the prison where Granny Liu sent Xiao Ye this evening. There were still a few people on the street at that time. We will know the truth once we investigate."

Mrs. Liu looked aggrieved, "Fourth Miss, my son is not in good health. He said he was going to visit a friend. What does it mean if I send him off?"

"Your son is infected with lung disease, and others avoid him. Moreover, your son brought poisoned food to visit Qiao Lao San in prison. Is this a good friend?"

Bai Youyou's face was full of sneers.

Do these people really think that Uncle Xu won't be able to convict them if they don't say anything?

"I didn't know about this. It was all done by my son alone."

After saying this, Mrs. Liu lowered her head.

Xu Lingyun was not in a hurry to interrogate, his eyes fell on the door of the court.

Soon, an official came back, followed by a man and a woman, both dressed in gray linen clothes.

"Sir, the witness is here."

Xiao Ye and Liu Pozi turned their heads to look at the two people, and suddenly, their pupils shrank!
