But Shi Leiduan stood straight, his eyes fixed on the ground, and spoke in a voice as resounding as a bell: "According to the laws of our Beiyue Kingdom, the emperor is subject to the same punishment as the common people if he breaks the law. Prince Jing, are you trying to bribe me and make me bend the law for personal gain?"

For a moment, the noisy chatter of the people outside watching the excitement grew louder, and all they heard were accusations and ridicules.

Xie Tingyu's face turned pale and blue. Based on his understanding of Shi Lei, this stinking stone, if he didn't explain the matter clearly on the spot, he might even arrest him on the spot...

It was all the emperor's grandfather's fault. He came up with the saying "the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people" and gave Shi Lei a plausible excuse to embarrass him.

How can a member of the royal family be held equally guilty as a commoner if they break the law?

Are they worthy? ? ?

My father has wanted to abolish this article for a long time, but he was worried that it would cause dissatisfaction among the common people and lead to unrest, so he never found a suitable opportunity.

He pondered for a moment, took a step back, bowed to Shi Lei, and said loudly: "Master Shi, there is indeed a misunderstanding."

"This house was purchased by me a few years ago and is actually part of Prince Jing's estate. My favorite concubine likes this house and has been living here for some time."

"Today, I came here as usual, but it was a stranger who opened the door. I was worried that something had happened to my beloved concubine, so I rushed in in a moment of desperation..."

"Master Shi, please understand why someone else is living in my house?"

At this moment, a voice emerged from the crowd outside: "This house was sold yesterday! The price was half of the usual price. If I had the money, I would have bought it!"

Another voice said, "Humph, I do have enough money, but by the time I got home to get it, the house had already been sold. It was a real bargain for the Zheng couple."

Someone sneered, "I used to envy them, but now Prince Jing's mansion has just sold the house, and Prince Jing has brought people in, claiming that the house belongs to Prince Jing's mansion! He even broke into someone else's wing!"

"They are truly untrustworthy... The Zheng couple are in dire straits..."

Xie Tingyu's face suddenly darkened horribly: "Sold it? Do you have any proof?"

His hands hanging at his sides were clenched quietly, and several conspicuous blue veins appeared on the back of his hands.

How could he believe that Yi'er had taken it upon herself to sell the house he had bought for her?

She had been with him for so many years, accompanying him all the way through the sadness of Nanxing's death. No matter how he treated her, she always went along with him and stayed by his side silently.

Even when she was beaten and injured, she was willing to take the initiative to please him...

How could such a good woman sell the house he bought for her?

Xie Tingyu felt inexplicably panicked.

At this moment, the man from the Zheng family comforted his wife, walked out of the wing room with a hunched back, holding a house deed in his hand.

Prince Jing subconsciously reached out to take it, but when he was about to touch it, the man from the Zheng family deliberately stepped aside and he failed to get it.

The Zheng family man glared at him fiercely, handed the title deed to Shi Lei with both hands, and then knelt heavily. "Master Shi, I am Zheng Er. Yesterday, I used up all my wealth and borrowed some money from friends to buy this house. Here is the title deed, please take a look."

"Today, Prince Jing broke into my home without my permission and my family's permission. He not only injured me, but also insulted my wife. Lord Shi, please help me!"

With tears in his eyes and blood on his head, he kowtowed respectfully after saying this, then let the tears fall and his shoulders shook.

Just now, his wife threatened to commit suicide because her body was seen by a man from outside her family... He was so heartbroken that his wife felt like she was bleeding. He had to persuade her with all his might, but he already hated Prince Jing to death.

"This is impossible!"

Xie Tingyu took two quick steps and snatched the house deed from Shi Lei's hand while he was helping the man.

But he only took one look and knew that the deed was not fake, it was indeed the deed to this house.
