"Xiao Ba was able to defend Annan City. He is definitely not a stupid person." Xiao Huayong looked through the evidence handed over. There was even a confession letter from Yu Gong's son, in which he confessed his crimes. He tilted his head and asked Tian Yuan, "Did they torture him?"
Tian Yuan shook his head with a solemn expression: "No lynching was used. The man confessed his guilt himself."
"He confessed his guilt?" Shen Xihe was surprised, with confusion in his eyes, "He is not a fool, right?"
"Princess, this man is a scholar. If it weren't for the severe drought in Dengzhou this year, he might have passed the imperial examination." Tian Yuan replied.
Anyone who is able to pass the imperial examination, even if he is a bookworm, should know that if he pleads guilty to such a crime, none of his parents and brothers will be able to escape.
Shen Xihe couldn't understand why he would voluntarily admit such a crime? Even if he was coerced or bribed, it would be impossible: "Is he sane?"
"He's conscious." Tian Yuan nodded.
Shen Xihe looked at Xiao Huayong, who was also in deep thought. Obviously, this was beyond Xiao Huayong's expectations.
The couple was silent. Tian Yuan waited for a while before saying, "Your Highness, Crown Princess, Yu Wulang was arrested on the spot. The people are all here, and they are all filled with righteous indignation. I don't know who spread the Crown Princess' words that day, 'Digging canals and roads is the most important thing. Anyone who obstructs will be killed without mercy.' The people are all waiting for the Crown Princess to severely punish Yu Wulang."
"This is Fang's trick on me." Shen Xihe chuckled.
Only Shen Xihe and the brothers Xiao Changqing and Xiao Changyan were present that day. It was obvious who spread the word. Shen Xihe had originally intended to pit Xiao Changyan against the Yu family, but Xiao Changyan's counterattack put all the blame on himself.
She had made a promise and must not go back on it, otherwise her prestige would be greatly reduced. This was the first point; the second and most important point was that if she did not practice what she said that day, things would not go smoothly in the future, and if someone caused trouble again, there would be no reason to punish them severely.
Not to mention, Yu Wulang was caught red-handed and confessed his guilt himself. If he is not severely punished, the people will not be able to be appeased.
Once she took action, the Pingyao Marquis' Mansion would blame her for this matter, believing that she had planned everything. Although it was indeed her who had planned everything, Shen Xihe was not afraid that the Pingyao Marquis would hate her, but she could take her own responsibilities, but was unwilling to bear half of them for Xiao Changyan.
"Go see Yu Wulang." Shen Xihe ordered.
She wanted to shed blood for the Yu family, and also wanted to give a warning to Pingyao Hou not to play his clever tricks in front of her. Naturally, she would not go against Xiao Changyan and make excuses for the Yu family. She just wanted to know what had possessed Yu Wulang that he dared to admit to such a serious crime.
And doesn’t Shen Xihe know whether their Yu Mansion is really involved with Xiao Juesong
Since this is a completely fabricated crime, why did Yu Wulang go crazy and destroy the reservoir for no reason
"I'll go with you." Xiao Huayong strode to catch up with Shen Xihe.
Shen Xihe paused: "I will tell you everything I see and hear. You are not suitable to show up."
This was a confrontation between her and Xiao Changyan. Since Xiao Changyan had taken action, he would definitely send someone to keep an eye on her. If Xiao Huayong followed her in and out, it would only make the extremely suspicious Xiao Changyan suspect Xiao Huayong.
Xiao Huayong stopped walking helplessly, looked at Shen Xihe with gentle eyes, gave him a soothing smile, and floated away.
