So, Fu Ping'an checked the letter of guarantee two or three times and made sure there were no mistakes. Then he waved his hand and wrote his name at the bottom.

Then he took out the Marquis's private seal and poked it upwards, looked around to the left, and saw that Wang Dagui had not prepared any ink pad. An idea suddenly came to his mind, and he directly stretched out his thumb and rubbed it twice on the private seal, and then pressed hard on the letter of guarantee, leaving an extremely clear fingerprint in an instant.

perfect!

Simply impeccable!

Looking at the freshly issued letter of guarantee, Fu Ping'an was extremely satisfied and intuitively felt that this was the most outstanding work of his life.

He raised his eyebrows and signaled Wang Dagui, who was holding the lamp nearby, to give the letter of guarantee to Fu Yutang.

"Not bad." Fu Yutang took the letter of guarantee, read it carefully, a smile appeared on his face, and he praised it generously: "It's well written."

It was the first time she had seen someone write a bribery testimony so perfectly. It said everything that should be said and didn't say anything that shouldn't be said.

"It's just a small matter. My son hasn't had much contact with me. Once he gets along with me for a long time, he will find out that your father is well-educated, but it's just a small letter of guarantee. There's really nothing to brag about." Fu Ping'an said with pride.

Unexpectedly, the next second, Fu Yutang's expression suddenly turned cold, he sat up straight, and shouted, "Do you think I'm praising you? Fu Ping'an! Do you know that bribing officials is a serious crime? As an official appointed by the court, you broke the law knowingly, which is an even greater crime! Come, arrest Fu Ping'an for me!"

He changed his face in an instant without any warning.

Fu Ping'an was startled out of nowhere, and before he could react, he was tied up by Yu Shi and Wang Dagui.

Hongshuang, who was standing by, had never seen such a scene before. She let out a scream, her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.

It was not until he was dragged in front of Fu Yutang that he saw Hongshuang's face turn pale, she was shivering on the ground, and she looked so pitiful. However, Fu Yutang had a cold face and didn't even glance at her. Only then did Fu Ping'an come to his senses.

From the beginning to the end, this unfilial son was just acting and didn't like Hong Shuang at all!

When Fu Ping'an heard her talk about bribery, his face suddenly changed.

As we all know, the current emperor hates corrupt officials the most.

Since ascending the throne, he has been cracking down on corrupt officials, and he is even more merciless towards officials who take bribes. Even Liu Qing, a veteran of three dynasties, was not spared by the emperor. If the emperor knew that he had taken bribes...

No, no, no, he didn't pay a bribe.

He was just giving a woman to the unfilial son, it couldn't be considered a bribe at all.

I thought about it in my heart and said it out loud.

Fu Yutang had expected this. He shook the letter of guarantee in his hand and said slowly, "It's written in black and white. Do you still want to deny it? Marquis Annan, you don't think bribery is just giving money, do you? According to Daning law, sexual bribery is also a kind of bribery."

He spent three thousand taels of silver to redeem Miss Hongshuang, in other words, he bribed her with three thousand taels of silver.

"According to the laws of Daning, if the amount of bribery is less than 5,000 taels of silver, the offender shall be detained for one year and fined an equal amount; if the offender takes the initiative to confess the bribery, cooperates with the interrogation, and pleads guilty with a good attitude, the punishment may be mitigated or exempted." Fu Yutang recited the law calmly and said calmly: "Marquis Annan, now that there are witnesses and evidence, for your own sake, I advise you not to make unnecessary arguments."

Fu Ping'an is not stupid. He knows how serious the matter of bribery is. Although he is acting on the secret orders of the Emperor, if things really get out of hand, it is questionable whether he can keep his title and official position.

The emperor asked him to let the unfilial son experience the beauty of women, but he did not ask him to send the unfilial son the most beautiful woman.

He felt that the unfilial son had not even had a concubine for all these years, and guessed that the unfilial son had high standards and looked down on ordinary women, so he took the initiative to choose the oiran.

However, he did not expect that this would allow the unfilial son to take advantage of the loophole and make use of the issue.

If the matter is brought to the emperor, he will only be angry at him for not doing his job well and will not protect him at all!

Fu Ping'an thought about it and felt that he could not plead guilty no matter what. His muddled mind suddenly became clear and he argued loudly, "I did not bribe you. You are the one who slandered me! In this dynasty, we handle cases with great care for evidence. Hong Shuang is one of the parties involved and cannot be considered a witness at all."

As for Wang Dagui and others, they have a direct relationship with Fu Yutang and cannot serve as witnesses.

"Who told you that Miss Hongshuang is a witness?" Fu Yutang raised his hand and pointed at the top of the wall, smiling slightly, "The witness I'm talking about is lying on the top of the wall."

Rui Chengyin: “……!!”

Ah San: “……!!”
