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

"Yes." Manager Chen replied.

"Do you know what will happen if you commit fraud in court and deliberately frame others?"

Having already stepped into the court, Manager Chen could only follow the original script and continue, "I know that everything I say is true, and I dare not lie in the slightest."

Xu Lingyun picked up the contract and read it again. He told Captain Liu, "Go to the Weining Marquis's mansion and invite Prince Jiang over."

When he heard that Jiang Tingxiao was invited, Ying Sheng, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled and lowered his head even more.

The sun is setting outside.

When Jiang Tingxiao came to Jingzhao Prefecture, his face was terribly gloomy.

"grown ups."

He stood beside Manager Ying and bowed to him.

Xu Lingyun looked at him, "Do you know the person next to you?"

Jiang Tingxiao glanced at the side of him and nodded, "His name is Ying Sheng, and he is the manager of the Must Win Casino under my name."

"Prince..."

Manager Ying raised his head and looked at him cautiously, his brown eyes full of guilt.

Xu Lingyun asked in a cold voice: "Do you know that Bai Muchen went to the gambling house under your name to borrow money?"

"Yes, Yingsheng has reported this to me."

Jiang Tingxiao tilted his head to look at Bai Youyou standing beside him, and saw her rubbing her thumb and index finger. He immediately reacted, "But after I collected the things, Bai Youyou came to me, and I sold them to her for silver."

"Look at this deed. The seal on it is yours."

Jiang Tingxiao walked forward and looked at the seal made with the crimson ink on the paper, his brows knitted tightly together.

Two days ago, Manager Ying did ask him for the shop seal. Since Ying was an old man who had been with him for many years, he did not doubt it and gave him the shop seal.

Jiang Tingxiao walked up to Ying Sheng with the contract in his hand and asked in a cold tone, "Bai Muchen went to the gambling house to borrow money at high interest. This was all done by you. Why are you talking nonsense, saying that you colluded with Bai Youyou to frame Bai Muchen?"

Jiang Tingxiao had been betrayed by his subordinates before, but Ying Sheng was his mother's descendant, so he had always treated him well.

His sincerity was wasted. He looked gloomy and stared at Ying Sheng, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Qiao Dongliang put one hand behind his back and said in an ambiguous tone, "Master Jiang, don't say you didn't know about this. This thing that should be in your hands is in Bai Youyou's name. It's hard not to suspect that there is collusion between you and Bai Youyou."

"This was done by me alone. It has nothing to do with my master. Please stop slandering me!"

Before Jiang Tingxiao could open his mouth to sneer, Ying Sheng suddenly looked at him. His fierce and resolute eyes were like those of a wild beast, which frightened Qiao Dongliang so much that his heart trembled.

It was originally agreed that Jiang Tingxiao would be dragged into the water as well, but this man would rather his entire family die than compromise.

You can't mess with him!

Qiao Dongliang's expression changed slightly, his Adam's apple rolled, and he dared not say anything more.

Ying Sheng’s reaction just now made Xu Lingyun think, and his eyes moved back and forth between Ying Sheng and Qiao Dongliang.

Who is the person behind Qiao Dongliang?

Without anyone's support, given his nature of flattering the powerful and bullying the weak, he would never dare to be bold enough to openly oppose the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

"Snapped!"

The gavel fell heavily.

"The other two witnesses are serving their sentences in a mine. Once all the witnesses are present, we will re-examine the case on a later date!"

"Master Xu, we have all the evidence. Even if those two people are not there, the case can still be closed. Why bother?"

This was really a stupid statement, and Qiao Dongliang regretted it as soon as he said it.

"Not to mention that this case is full of doubts, even if the witnesses have not yet arrived, what's wrong with retrial on another day?"

Xu Lingyun squinted at him and smiled coldly, "Besides, do I need you to interfere in my judgment? How about I make a petition to His Majesty and ask you to take the position of Jingzhao Yin?"

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

Meeting his sarcastic eyes, Qiao Dongliang touched the tip of his nose angrily, then quickly lowered his eyes to look at his toes.

"Take Bai Youyou to the prison."

"Xu..."

Just as Lu was about to plead for mercy, Bai Youyou stopped her in time and whispered in her ear, "Mother, Lord Xu is acting according to the law. Don't make things difficult for him."

Lu bit her lower lip, tears welling up in her eyes, "But in prison—"

"I am just a suspect now, not convicted. I will only be detained for two days." Bai Youyou raised her hand to wipe away the tears that slid down her face. "I will be released after Lord Xu finds out the truth."

"Jianan, stop making trouble and come back with me."

The old lady of the Zhenguogong walked up to Bai Youyou and said with a loving look, "Don't worry, black can't be white, and white can't be black, don't be afraid."

"Ah."

Bai Youyou responded and followed Captain Liu to the cell.

After hearing Xu Lingyun slam the gavel and say the words "adjourn the court", Qiao Dongliang quickly returned to his mansion as if there was a wild dog chasing him.

Bai Yaoyao and Bai Mulin had been waiting there early. When they saw him, Bai Mulin hurried over to him.

"Uncle, how is it?"

"The person has been imprisoned. We are just waiting for the other two people to testify in court and accuse Bai Youyou of hiring a killer to commit murder. She will definitely die this time!"

Qiao Dongliang was very proud. He walked to the armchair and sat down, looking at Bai Yaoyao with a smile, "Yaoyao, when will you help your uncle introduce the Crown Prince?"

Bai Yaoyao was holding a long-haired Persian cat with snow-white fur and blue eyes in her arms. She gently stroked the cat's head and said calmly, "Let's finish this."

"Meow~"

Qiao Dongliang was a little unhappy, but he suppressed his anger and asked flatteringly: "Where did you get this Persian cat? It looks like a tribute from a foreign vassal."

"It is a tribute from a foreign vassal state, sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Bai Yaoyao hugged the cat and kissed it, smiling with amorous feelings on her face.

Qiao Dongliang didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be willing to give such a rare thing to Bai Yaoyao, and the curve of his lips became even wider.

"Prince Jiang's plan is really perfect! Apart from the witnesses, the physical evidence is flawless. You don't know how ugly Bai Youyou's face was when she saw the deed in court today."

The corners of Bai Yaoyao's lips curled up, and her beautiful eyebrows were raised.

She once copied a large-denomination banknote, and except for the paper, it was almost indistinguishable from the original.

Now it’s just a matter of copying others’ ideas. How difficult can that be?

"When Bai Youyou dies, your father will give all the manors and shops under her name as your dowry."

Qiao Dongliang laughed loudly and described in vivid detail what happened in Jingzhao Prefecture in the afternoon.

Outside the door, Qiao Bing heard them mention Prince Jiang and began to be confused about whether they were talking about Prince Jiang from the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion or Prince Jiang from the Weining Marquis's Mansion.

After listening to his own father's exaggerated narration, his breathing stopped.

Bai Youyou is in jail?

A few days ago, Aunt Chun became pregnant, so he had been staying with Aunt Chun in the mansion, and he knew very little about what was happening outside the mansion.

This time I wanted to talk to his father about splitting up the house and moving into a new place, but I didn't expect to hear this kind of news.

Just as he was about to leave, a maid in pink came over from the other side of the corridor holding a teacup.
