"Tell me, how have I wronged you?" Ye Jinhu looked at Lu Yanke, who was trembling with fear.

He is such a coward, yet he still imitates others and sells contraband salt.

There are still a few heads left to chop off.

"Tell me everything you've done."

Lu Yanke was covered in wounds. It seemed that the jailer showed no mercy.

When Lu Yanke saw Lord Ye, his legs began to tremble and his pants were soaked with urine.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" Lu Yanke told him without reservation how he got in touch with King Jin and how he sold private salt to all parts of the country under King Jin's instructions.

"Are you saying that Prince Jin is the mastermind behind all this?" Lord Ye asked.

"It's absolutely true. Every major client was introduced by him. I was just responsible for running errands."

Lu Yanke was anxious to clear himself.

Ye Jinhu: "Where is the evidence? Where are those clients? Where is King Jin's seal?"

Lu Yanke was speechless.

"Where is the evidence of your financial dealings with Prince Jin?" Lord Ye continued to ask.

"No, King Jin sent people to the salt shop to carry away the cash, but those people are his confidants." Lu Yanke shouted: "Go and catch them, as long as you catch them, everything will be revealed."

"What do they look like?"

Lu Yanke was stunned: "They all have full beards and their faces are covered with towels..."

"Go on, what are their characteristics?" Lord Ye looked at him: "Are you mute?"

Lu Yanke burst into tears: "It turns out that King Jin used me as a scapegoat from the beginning. He had already dug a trap for me to fall into."

Not stupid enough to go into the coffin yet.

"Your name is on the title deeds of the warehouses storing the illegal salt, and the contact person looks the same as you. How come you didn't know that?"

"I don't have so many shops, sir, you must have a way, please save me." Lu Yanke begged.

He murmured, "How could Prince Jin be so cruel? Most of the money from selling the illegal salt went into his pocket, and I only got a small share.

Sir, please check this thoroughly.

I know I was wrong and I shouldn't be greedy, but these illegal salts really don't belong to me. I'm just responsible for looking after them."

When Prince Jin did not send anyone to rescue him, Lu Yanke knew that he was a useless chess piece.

Lu Yanke knelt down and cried, "Please understand, sir! I was only following the orders of King Jin."

"Where's the evidence? If you produce evidence to prove that you obeyed Prince Jin, I will present your confession together. The emperor will certainly not punish you alone."

"I didn't!" Lu Yanke kept begging, asking Lord Ye to let him go.

When he knew that he could not overturn the verdict, Lu Yanke cursed: "Lin Mushen, you will not die well."

Lu Yanke shouted day and night. Only in this way could he alleviate the fear in his heart.

The jailer was annoyed by his noise, and after whipping him a few times, Lu Yanke finally behaved himself.

Pingyang Houfu

Upon hearing that Lu Yanke was arrested and imprisoned in the Dali Temple, Chen Yulan cried and made a fuss at home.

"The prince has been sentenced to death. How can you let me live?"

Chen Yulan pushed Lord Lu and said, "Go find someone. No matter who you ask for help, you must rescue Brother Yan."

Lord Lu then regretted that he had lived in a muddle-headed state all his life, and when he needed help at the critical moment of life and death, he didn't know who to ask for help.

At this time, he remembered the kindness of his ex-daughter-in-law.

Seeing that he had no solution, Chen Yulan was so angry that she yelled, "You coward, I am so unlucky to marry you."

"Bang!" Chen Yulan covered her face in disbelief: "If you dare to hit me, I will end my life with you."

"Die, it's better to die. It's just the difference between dying early and dying late." Lord Lu cried.

Chen Yulan was crying and confused.

"My Lord! What's the meaning of dying early or late?"

"You idiot, do you think that only the rebellious son will die? We will all be buried with him."

"Bang!" Chen Yulan fell heavily on the chair.

"What did you say? Who did you say would be buried with the deceased?" Chen Yulan cried out in horror.

"What that rebellious son did is a heinous crime punishable by the extermination of all nine generations of his clan. The Pingyang Marquis's mansion is all finished." Marquis Lu also sat on the ground and sobbed like Chen Yulan.

He begged and pleaded, but no one was willing to get involved in this mess.

Lu Yanke did not commit a minor crime, he committed a capital crime.

Who dares to help in selling salt illegally?

How many heads can be lost?

I heard that the prince committed the heinous crime of exterminating nine clans.

There was crying and wailing in the marquis's mansion.

The second wife, Mrs. Mo, came over angrily and saw Chen Yulan sitting on the ground crying. She grabbed her hair and said, "You spoiled your son. When your family was prosperous, we, the second wife, could only barely fill our stomachs.

Why did your first wife get all the benefits? Now the Marquisate is in trouble. What did our second wife do to offend anyone? We will be buried with you. Chen Yulan, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost. "

Chen Yulan was already crazy at this time, so how could she tolerate the second wife's anger?

When Mrs. Mo was grabbing Chen Yulan's hair, Chen Yulan freed her hands and also grabbed Mrs. Mo's hair.

The two men struggled together.

The third room also joined the melee.

They have been bullied enough by Chen Yulan over the years, and now she wants to die with them.

Mrs. Song also lost her composure: "Lu Yanke wants to die, so he can die alone. Why do you have to do such a thing as confiscate the family property and exterminate the clan? My son is so pitiful. He is only nine years old and he is about to be killed by you."

And Madam Lu from Shoukang Hall fainted many times.

Many servants in the Marquis' Mansion secretly ran away.

Without their indentures, they would all become illegal residents and would most likely starve to death outside.

Instead of waiting to be beheaded in the marquis's mansion, it is better to run out and give it a try.

It's a death anyway.

There might be a glimmer of hope if I run away.

The masters of the marquis' mansion are not so lucky. If they are found guilty, they will not be able to escape.

The land under the bound sky belongs to the king. Even if they run to the ends of the earth, they will be caught and brought back.

The quietest place in the Marquis's Mansion is Aunt Yao's courtyard.

Before leaving, Jiang Chuwei helped Lu Yanling find a marriage partner.

Among the three books and six ceremonies, only the last step, namely marriage, remains.

The man heard that something happened in the Marquis' Mansion and planned to take Lu Yanling over.

Now she is considered a member of her husband's family and will not be implicated by the Marquis's Mansion.

Aunt Yao did not cry or wail. As long as her daughter could live well in this world, she would die without regrets.

Not long ago, Lu Yanping was expelled from the Pingyang Marquis Mansion by Chen Yulan and her biological mother, Aunt Wang, because she contradicted her stepmother.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, and the two of them didn't have to die.

Even if the government wanted to arrest people, they couldn’t catch them.

Lu Yanling was reluctant to leave: "Mom, come with me to my husband's house. Qingfeng treats me very well, she will not treat us badly."

Aunt Yao touched her daughter's face and said, "My dear child, as long as you are alive, I am very relieved. You and your husband should live a good life in the future. I will watch over you from heaven."

Aunt Yao spoke calmly to her daughter, so calmly that it seemed as if she was not leaving a last will.

What's so scary about death? Being locked up in this cannibalistic mansion is much scarier.

Fortunately, her daughter was able to escape.

She thanked Jiang Chuwei countless times in her heart.

In the next life, I will work like a slave to repay this kindness!
