"There is also the former Left Prime Minister, Lord Xue, whose entire family has been wiped out."

As soon as these words came out, Yangyang, who had been hiding behind the screen, couldn't help but rush out, "You are talking nonsense!"

At the right moment, the Crown Princess stepped forward to protect Yangyang. Fearing that someone would recognize her, she said softly, "I'm sorry, my Lords. I, a maidservant, love to stand up for the weak and disturb you all!" Then, she pulled Yangyang and quickly retreated behind the screen.

This little episode cannot offset the man's confession just now. Now that he has said this, we must ask him the reason.

Yu Wenjin said, "The Xue family has been wiped out. What evidence do you have to prove it?"

"I have it!" The man was prepared and raised his hands that were bound by chains. He fumbled in his inner clothes for a while and took out a crumpled piece of paper.

He unfolded the paper and held his hands above his head as if he had won a golden medal of immunity from death. "Your Highness, please take a look. This is a letter written by Lord Xue to Lord Jiang. The letter was originally in Jiang Zhiang's hands, and I got it by chance."

The official took the letter and presented it to Yuwen Jin.

Yangyang behind the screen was also very curious about the letter of unknown origin. Now that their Xue family had been wiped out, they could still cause trouble. It was simply unbelievable.

On the other hand, the Crown Princess didn't care as much about the letter as Yangyang's reaction.

Yuwen Jin glanced at the words on it and then had someone hand the letter to Tang Yuwei.

Tang Yuwei took a look at the letter and said casually, "The handwriting and seal on it are indeed from the Zuo Xiang!"

The official who presented the letter said, "That's right, Lord Xue has been in cahoots with Jiang Zhiang for a long time. Lord Xue has set his eyes on Jiang Zhiang's daughter. I'm afraid many people in Jingwei City know about their affair."

This person spoke as if it were true, causing the people watching below to sigh, "It's good to exterminate the whole family. It seems that His Highness Xuanyi has long known about the character of this Lord Xue!"

Another person also interrupted and said, "Not only that, I heard that Lord Xue is a traitor to his country. One of his two daughters is a murderer, and the other is a descendant of the Rong Kingdom!"

"That's too horrifying. No wonder no one in Tong County dares to intervene. Jiang Zhiang, a county magistrate, is so arrogant. It turns out that he has such a powerful backer in the Beijing Guards!"

The people were in an uproar over the exaggerated and vivid descriptions.

Tang Yuwei and Yuwen Jin exchanged information, and they both looked at Lord Feng who was still lying on the ground with tacit understanding.

It seems that Lord Feng has only been here for a few days, but he has put in a lot of effort, and this is exactly the effect that Yu Wen Yuehua wanted. It is really heartbreaking.

Seeing the emotions in the hall suddenly heated up, the official added fuel to the fire, "If Your Highness doesn't believe it, just arrest Jiang Zhiang and you will know all the reasons."

This person is not an ordinary corrupt official, but an actor that Lord Feng had arranged for a long time.

After hearing this person's narration, the people of Tong County not only believed that the left prime minister was the murderer behind the scene,

In order to demonstrate the virtue of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, even Jiang Zhiang, who was originally detained in a secret place by Tang Yuwei, had to be released.

But after being released, Jiang Zhiang's personal safety could no longer be guaranteed. After all, Jiang Zhiang knew so much, how could Yuwen Yuehua let him live?

And this is the real intention of this letter that is supposed to reveal the truth.

When the people heard that Jiang Zhiang was going to be captured, they clenched their fists and stamped their feet, wishing they could cut Jiang Zhiang into pieces.

The noises continued and gradually turned into a unanimous protest.

"Catch the corrupt official Jiang Zhiang! Catch the corrupt official Jiang Zhiang!..."

Behind the screen, Yangyang quickly understood the purpose of the letter. Regardless of whether it was true or false, it was a conspiracy.

"Your Highness Xuanyi wants to pin all of this on the Left Prime Minister. She really wants to squeeze all the value out of the Left Prime Minister!" said the Crown Princess.

Yangyang nodded in agreement, but she was more worried, "We must not hand over Jiang Zhiang now. If Jiang Zhiang is killed, my father will never be able to clear his name."

"That's right, the Crown Prince and the others must understand the key point!" The Crown Princess comforted Yangyang.

In the hall, listening to the people's shouting, Yuwen Jin was in a dilemma.

Lord Feng finally found the opportunity. Even though he was being held by Jiang Chi, he still had the courage to speak loudly, "After His Highness Xuanyi learned about the recent situation in Tong County, he immediately wanted to arrest Jiang Zhiang."

After that, he looked at Tang Yuwei who was nearby.

"I got a secret report that Jiang Zhiang is really cunning and fled to Tong County overnight! General Tang has led his troops into the city for a few days, right? He hasn't found this bastard yet!"

Tang Yuwei clenched his hands tightly on the armrest, his eyes full of murderous intent, but he was now in front of the public, and he had to give them a proper explanation.

Looking at those pairs of expectant eyes, Tang Yuwei gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Jiang has been captured! This person is deeply involved in the backstory, so he has been secretly detained!"

"Secretly detained?" Lord Feng fanned the flames, "General Tang's intention is to not try Jiang Zhiang in today's trial? General Tang is probably trying to protect your former father-in-law!"

With just a few words, Lord Feng directed all the hatred and conflict towards Tang Yuwei.

How could the people in the hall obey? At this moment, their desire for the court to execute Jiang Zhiang had reached its peak.

Suddenly, there was another burst of shouting in unison.

"Interrogate Jiang Zhiang!"

"Interrogate Jiang Zhiang!..."

Lord Feng was almost laughing when he saw this, and he continued to say sarcastically, "Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to let General Tang make the decision? Then what is the point of this presiding judge?"

Tang Yuwei's expression froze. He didn't want the situation to continue to develop at the pace of Lord Feng. That would only cause the people to misunderstand His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and would instead boost Xuan Yi's momentum.

He stood up in the middle of the hall and said, "Your Highness, I will capture Jiang Zhiang right away!"

"Okay! Then let's adjourn the court first and continue the trial after you arrest Jiang Zhiang!" The prince nodded heavily, feeling a little nervous because of the feeling of being high above the hall!

The officer who reported the order also understood his intention, and immediately reported to the people in the hall, "The court will be dismissed for now, and the trial will continue in an hour!"

Tang Yuwei asked Jiang Cheng to keep a close eye on Lord Feng, while he quickly headed towards the place where Jiang Zhiang was imprisoned.

In less than half an hour, Tang Yuwei arrived at the small courtyard where Jiang Zhiang was imprisoned.

Normally, there were several soldiers under his command guarding outside, but today, for some reason, the soldiers outside the door were not there, and even the door to the courtyard was ajar.

Tang Yuwei's heart sank, and he had a bad feeling!

He slowly pushed open the door and saw...
