After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, she became the favorite of the Beijing group

Mrs. Xie's face was pale, and she was wrapped in an indescribable grayness.

"They traded in Mizhou, and a manager of the Xie family came forward..." Mrs. Xie told the details of the transaction three years ago.

She didn't know much about the inside story. The matchmaker of the final transaction was the Lin family. She was still trying her best to clear the Lin family of its involvement.

But the Dali Temple had already obtained the interrogation results of other people. At this time, he looked at her and said, "I have told you that whether you conceal it intentionally or unintentionally, it will not change the fate of the Lin family. They are destined to become your burial objects."

Mrs. Xie bit her lip tightly.

The Dali Temple continued, "If you continue to conceal it, I will torture you. Is this what you want to see?"

Mrs. Xie trembled, and she still said, "This is unfair. The Lin family did not participate. Why do we need to involve them?"

The Dali Temple sneered, glanced at the subordinates beside him, and immediately an experienced official stepped forward and wanted to pull Mrs. Xie to torture.

Mrs. Xie was anxious: "I am the general's wife, how can you be so rude to me!"

The Dali Temple looked at Mrs. Xie strangely: "Once your testimony comes out, the general's life is uncertain. Why do you think that the identity of the general's wife can still protect you now?"

Mrs. Xie was blinded by hatred and completely forgot that the foundation of her survival was the husband who treated her badly in her eyes!

"I..." Mrs. Xie took a deep breath and said: "I confess, it was the Lin family who acted as a matchmaker. They accepted benefits from the grassland people, and I was forced to get involved!"

The Dali Temple looked at Mrs. Xie with cold eyes. Mrs. Xie's testimony now is similar to that of others.

"Re-examine Lin Tao. This man must have lied. Don't be polite to him. Just punish him." The Dali Temple ordered his deputy.

Mrs. Xie continued to interrogate: "General Xie has been on the battlefield for a long time. As far as I know, the Xie family also has many industries in the capital and is not short of money. He has no need to do such a thing."

"He is indeed not short of money, but who would complain about having too much money? The grassland people promised to give him ten thousand taels of gold..." Mrs. Xie stuttered.

She thought that she was Mrs. Xie for these years, but she had no way to intervene in some important industries in the family. She was very frustrated as Mrs. Xie.

"For a mere ten thousand taels of gold, he sold the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, and even tossed himself to the point of hanging his life. Do you think that I am a fool?" The Dali Temple asked.

Mrs. Xie felt that ten thousand taels of gold was a large sum of money. When she heard this, she couldn't help but look up at the other party. She was thinking belatedly in her heart, could it be that the price she asked from the grassland people was too low back then?

The Dali Temple said, "Mrs. Xie, you seem to have no idea about the background of the Xie family."

Mrs. Xie's heart skipped a beat. She cursed her husband countless times in her heart because he never told her the truth because he was afraid that she would subsidize her family.

The Dali Temple continued, "Let's assume that General Xie really needs the ten thousand taels of gold, so where did the money go?"

Mrs. Xie was flustered, but she also knew that she could not hide it from the other party, so she said half-truthfully, "This money was used to buy property in the name of the Lin family, and it was prepared by the general for Xie Xingchuan alone!"

The Dali Temple laughed out loud on the spot: "Mrs. Xie, do you think everyone in the world is a fool? The Jingzhao Prefecture has already informed me of the little thing between you and Xie Xingchuan. I have already caught you, the big fish, why do you have to involve others?"

Mrs. Xie thought that her intention to drag Xie Xingchuan into the water would be shattered, and she did not expect that the iron-faced and selfless man in front of her did not want to drag Xie Xingchuan into the water.

"The more people I find out, the greater your credit will be in front of the emperor!" Madam Xie took the initiative to say.

The Dali Temple sneered and said, "Do you think everyone is the same as you?"

Whether it was General Xie or Gu Mingda, these people were not the Dali Temple's political enemies. Officials should always make more friends, not too many enemies.

If he really believed this woman's nonsense, he would become a laughing stock in front of the emperor.

"The money was spent on the Lin family, but you said it was General Xie who was instigated. This is really unreasonable. There is no need to be polite to her. Just punish her directly." The Dali Temple did not hesitate any more.

Madam Xie collapsed to the ground.

She was originally a pampered lady, how could she withstand these torture methods for dealing with serious criminals? In just half a day, this case of treason that could shock the entire court and the country had been interrogated clearly.

The case file was sent to the emperor, together with the testimonies of several people, indicating that the result of this interrogation was both quick and clear.

"Did Xie Zhuyun really not participate in this?" the emperor asked in a deep voice.

The Dali Temple Minister lowered his head slightly and explained: "The Xie family is not short of money, and the money was not spent on the Xie family, but was used to buy property for the Lin family. General Xie has no reason to put himself in danger for his wife's family. If it weren't for General Xie's efforts to turn the tide in the battle three years ago, the consequences would be disastrous."

The emperor chuckled: "So, he has made a contribution?"

The Dali Temple Minister said: "Your Majesty, I think he is guilty of negligence."

The emperor said nothing more, but played with a letter at hand.

Coincidentally, on the day when Madam Xie entered the Dali Temple, two letters were delivered from Biancheng. One was to the Gu family, thanking Gu Mingda for telling General Xie about it, and the other was a divorce letter to Madam Xie.

Gu Mingda did not have the ability to predict the future, and he did not expect that the Lin family would drag Madam Xie into the abyss. In the letter he wrote to General Xie, he only said that Lin Tao had committed many crimes in Mizhou and caused many deaths, which were eventually settled by Madam Xie.

The emperor waved his hand, and the Dali Temple Minister retreated respectfully.

"Xie Zhuyun is quite smart." The emperor whispered to Qian Rongsheng.

Qian Rongsheng thought of the thick stack of banknotes sent by the general's housekeeper, and said: "Your Majesty, General Xie has been away from the capital for a long time, and I'm afraid he doesn't know that his wife is so bold. If General Xie displeases Your Majesty, Your Majesty will directly have him escorted back to the capital for punishment. I don't think he dares to say anything."

The emperor looked at the testimony and knew very well that this matter really had nothing to do with General Xie. However, when he thought of the war three years ago, he lost so many useful soldiers, and his hatred for Mrs. Xie reached the extreme.

"Xie Lin and the entire Lin family will be executed by slow slicing." The emperor said.

Qian Rongsheng's heart trembled when he heard such a punishment.

The emperor finally spared General Xie. After all, there were not many soldiers under his command now: "As for Xie Zhuyun, he was not good at managing the inner house, so he was demoted three levels and retained."
