By reading my mind, I defeated the crazy regent

Tang Baoyu couldn't stand it anymore and burst into tears: "Dad, where are you going? Didn't you say you would stay here with me? I don't want you to leave, or else take me away quickly."

Tang Qishan felt extremely distressed, but in the end he was powerless to do anything as he was cleared out.

Tang Baoyu was now frightened. He knelt there with his body huddled up, not daring to look at the prefect at all.

The prefect shouted angrily, "Tang Baoyu, why don't you confess the truth? What did you use to kill someone? If you don't tell the truth, I will chop off your head today and offer it as a sacrifice to the deceased."

Tang Baoyu was so frightened that he quickly covered his neck and said, "Don't kill me. I killed people with a knife, but killing a person is not a big deal, right?"

The prefect became even more furious when he heard this: "Bullshit!"

"Who told you that killing someone is no big deal?"

Tang Baoyu was really good at cheating his father: "My father said so. My father also said that servants exist only to serve me. Can I kill a bunch of them?"

The prefect now had the confession and immediately ordered the soldiers to take it to Tang Baoyu for him to sign.

Tang Baoyu didn't understand what it meant, but he knew that this thing was called a signature.

"Mom said I must never sign any petition, no matter what it is."

He was very scared, but he shook his head like a rattle.

"I won't sign. Don't make me sign. Go away."

"I won't sign, get out of here, take your hands off me, I don't want to sign, ahhhh!"

No matter how Tang Baoyu struggled, he was eventually forced to press his handprints.

Tang Baoyu stared blankly at the paper being taken away, and then saw the prefect nod with satisfaction.

"With the testimony in hand, the case is settled. Okay, let's put this murderer back in his old cell."

Tang Baoyu was taken back to the cell.

However, Tang Yingying was the last person to see the prefect.

She originally thought that she didn't need to see the prefect. After all, she knew that Tang Baoyu had confessed by eavesdropping outside the door. However, she didn't expect that she would still be interrogated after the result.

Tang Yingying felt that she had a good attitude and was innocent, and the adults would definitely be extra lenient with her.

I spoke first: "Sir, I really don't know anything."

The prefect raised his hand, signaling Tang Yingying to shut up.

"Just answer whatever I ask you, don't speak nonsense in a self-righteous manner."

Tang Yingying nodded hurriedly, looking well-behaved.

"What's your name?"

"Commoner girl Tang Yingying."

"Your wife died. Did you hear any sound? Or did she cry for help?"

Tang Yingying hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, I really didn't hear anything. If I had heard anything, I would have gone to see it."

"Sir, I have a good relationship with my two maids."

"Really?" the prefect asked.

Tang Yingying nodded hurriedly.

The prefect said, "Go and bring that old woman in."

Tang Yingying's heart skipped a beat.

"What does the prefect mean? Are you trying to get me to confront that old woman? Wouldn't that expose my true identity?"

Tang Yingying looked like she was about to faint.

"Sir, I'm seriously injured and I'm really feeling unwell. Please find out the truth and let me go."

Tang Yingying knew that she was innocent, so she believed that the prefect could not find anything related to her, so she could of course go home.

The prefect suddenly said, "You can't go back until you are cleared of suspicion."

Tang Yingying was dumbfounded and shouted, "What suspicion? What suspicion do I have? I didn't kill anyone."

"But there are bloodstains and signs of a struggle in your room. We need to find evidence to prove that you are truly innocent before we can let you go."

Tang Yingying immediately said anxiously when she heard it: "No, the blood in my room is my own. My Lord, look at me with all these wounds, isn't it normal to have some blood?"

"There are also traces of fighting in my room. Those were caused by my mother, father, and brother beating me. They have nothing to do with the mother-in-law's death."

"Just because you say it's okay, does it mean it's okay? I'm not just listening to you, I want to see the evidence."

Tang Yingying was extremely anxious: "No, the old woman's death really has nothing to do with me. If Tang Baoyu was the one who killed her, then we should just take people to detain and punish Tang Baoyu."

"Tang Baoyu has a violent personality and bad character. He is not a good person. He is the one who killed people."

"Sir, sir, please be clear-headed. Just arrest Tang Baoyu. He is the real murderer."

The prefect sat there, looking at Tang Yingying coldly.

This girl is quite famous in the capital, of course, this fame is all linked to Tang Qiansui.

Now Tang Qiansui obviously wants to bring disaster to this family. The funny thing is that Tang Yingying doesn’t understand it yet, and it seems that she wants to deal with her own brother?

This woman is really cruel.

"Are you identifying Tang Baoyu now?"

Tang Yingying no longer cared about anything else. She just wanted to clear herself and leave this damn place as soon as possible.

"Yes, I am pointing at Tang Baoyu, and what I said is true."

The prefect's expression changed, and he asked sternly, "Then why didn't you say this and identify the person when you were first interrogated?"

"Do you know that your actions are already a form of harboring a murderer? Harboring a murderer is no less serious a crime."

Tang Yingying was shocked, but the words had already been spoken and there was no point in regretting it.

She could only keep showing weakness: "Sir, please forgive me, I am just a weak woman, I am as timid as a mouse, I was really too scared, so I forgot to say it, I didn't mean it."

"I'm asking you, do your words count now? Are you telling the truth?"

Tang Yingying nodded repeatedly: "It counts, it counts, it's all true, it was Tang Baoyu who killed him."

"Why are you so sure? Didn't you just say you didn't see or hear anything? Weren't you unconscious? Then how can you be sure that Tang Baoyu killed that woman?"

The prefect's series of questions made Tang Yingying confused for a moment.

"me……"

"I was just scared. I really didn't see Tang Baoyu kill anyone, but I know it was him."

"He was shouting and screaming about fighting and killing at home, and even brought two women into his room, saying he was going to kill them."

"The bloodstains and signs of a fight in my room were also caused by my mother asking me to go with her to dispose of the body. I refused, so my mother and Tang Baoyu teamed up to beat me."

"Sir, I didn't say it because I was afraid and I still cared about our friendship. After all, he is my brother."

"But I have figured it out now. I cannot protect him just because he is my biological brother. I ask you to punish Tang Baoyu severely."

What a righteous look.

The prefect almost applauded Tang Yingying.
