The blood on Xiao Jiashu's face faded and he trembled his lips, "This is the trap you set up."
"You did it on purpose."
Deliberately agreed to put him in charge of the case.
He deliberately left and left him alone in the study.
These incriminating evidences were deliberately placed in front of him.
Even the candles in the study were probably left on purpose.
"But if Lord Shangshu really enforces the law impartially, he won't fall into the trap we set, right?"
Xiao Jiashu slowly closed his eyes, "I lost."
"Take it away." Zhao Jin said coldly.
The guards of the East Palace captured Xiao Jiashu and took him down roughly.
When Xiao Jiashu passed by Zhao Jin, Zhao Jin said quietly: "If Master Shangshu can't do it, don't talk about it in the future."
Xiao Jiashu's footsteps paused for a moment, and soon he was escorted by the East Palace guards to stagger forward.
Zhao Jin personally sent Xiao Jiashu to prison.
The whole court was astonished.
As soon as the news came out that Xiao Jiashu was responsible for investigating the case, many aristocratic families breathed a sigh of relief.
But who knew that in just two days, the situation would take a turn for the worse!
Xiao Jiashu was planted.
He was directly caught trying to destroy the Yao family's evidence of violating the law.
The aristocratic family was frightened by Zhao Jin's methods, and immediately removed Xiao Jiashu, leaving a vacant position in the court hall for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.
He was also worried about the evidence against the Yao family.
What is the evidence? Can the Yao family be saved? Can the wealthy family win this fight with Zhao Jin?
No one has an accurate answer, but the wealthy families do not dare to interfere in the case at will, for fear that they will become the next Xiao Jiashu.
In this incident, the Xiao family suffered the most heavy losses.
The Xiao family was both angry and afraid. Not only had Xiao Jiashu, the most senior official in the Qi family, been kicked off, but they were also afraid that Zhao Jin would attack the Xiao family next.
Compared to the Xiao family, the one that is most afraid of now is the Yao family.
They didn't expect that the prince and Chu Xiao already had evidence of their crimes in their hands!
"Master! Master!"
Yao Chengyu's face was dark and he scolded angrily, "What are you doing in a hurry?"
"Sir, the account book is missing."
Yao Chengyu stood up suddenly, "What did you say? How could you disappear if you are fine?"
The housekeeper was so anxious that he didn't know how to explain, "That account book, the account book has been stolen!"
Upon hearing this, Yao Chengyu hurriedly walked towards the study, looking panicked.
When he opened the place where he usually kept his account books and looked at the empty box, his vision went dark and he almost couldn't stand still.
"Master!" The housekeeper who came over quickly helped Yao Chengyu.
"How could it be missing?" Yao Chengyu murmured to himself: "Who would..."
"Master, it's not good!"
Yao Chengyu's forehead throbbed with pain, and he was brought back to his senses by this voice, "What happened again?"
"It's Mr. Chu! Mr. Chu and his soldiers have surrounded the Yao Mansion!"
"What?!"
When Chu Xiao approached Yao Mansion, Yao Mansion was in chaos.
"Go and capture Yao Qiran."
"Master Chu, what do you mean?" Yao Chengyu strode out and happened to hear Chu Xiao's words.
The soldiers who followed Chu Xiao did not even glance at Yao Chengyu. After receiving the order, a small group of soldiers walked directly towards the inner courtyard of Yao Mansion.
"What do you want to do?!"
Many guards from Yao Mansion stopped him.
Chu Xiao glanced at it and asked quietly: "What, are you trying to obstruct my work?"
"Master Chu is really a powerful official!" Yao Chengyu's face was full of anger, "Why did you break into my official Yao's house?!"
Yao Chengyu was also an official in the court, and his official position was even half a step higher than that of Chu Xiao. He was a second-rank official.
"Capture the prisoner Yao Qiran." Chu Xiao looked calm and did not seem to see Yao Chengyu's anger.
"Prisoner?"
Yao Chengyu's heart skipped a beat, "When did my son become a prisoner? Mr. Chu is talking nonsense, but don't slander a scholar who is waiting for the imperial examination!"
Chu Xiao sneered, "Don't worry, Mr. Yao, if I don't have evidence in hand, I will not come to Yao's house."
Saying that, Chu Xiao directly took out an account book, "Does Mr. Yao recognize this?"
Yao Chengyu took a closer look and his eyes were about to burst.
This is exactly the ledger he lost!
"This is an account book obtained from the Yao Mansion. It clearly records that two years ago, people from the Yao Mansion bribed Governor Chen Keng to create a land contract without both parties being present."
"As far as I know, this is a violation of the laws of our country, Zhao."
"And the time of this contract coincides with the time of the contract that the Yao family took out before. Therefore, your previous evidence has been invalidated."
Chu Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Now, I suspect that Yao Qiran is occupying people's fields and causing harm to people's lives."
"Master Yao is an official in the court and should be familiar with the laws of Zhao State. I now need to take Yao Chiran back to the government office and interrogate him clearly. Since he kept saying that the Cui family had agreed at that time."
"Then, why did you bribe the governor to sign this contract when no one from the Cui family was present?"
"Since the Cui family was not present, the fingerprints on the contract were pressed voluntarily by the Cui family afterwards, or is there another hidden reason?"
Every time Chu Xiao said something, Yao Chengyu's heart beat violently.
"I also ask Mr. Yao not to obstruct my handling of the case."
While the two were talking, Yao Qiran had already been escorted out by the soldiers.
"What are you doing?!"
"How unreasonable, how dare you act so recklessly in the Yao Mansion?"
"Let me go, young master! Do you hear me?"
Yao Qiran was escorted out by two soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, struggling and scolding him constantly.
"Master Chu?"
Yao Qiran saw Chu Xiao and Yao Chengyu standing face to face, glared at Chu Xiao fiercely, and then looked at Yao Chengyu, "Dad! These people want to arrest me out of nowhere."
"Shut up!" Yao Chengyu scolded.
Chu Xiao smiled and said, "Yao Ciran, you'd better cooperate."
Yao Qiran was a little confused by Yao Chengyu's reprimand. Then he heard Chu Xiao's voice and said angrily: "Mr. Chu, why are you arresting me?!"
"Of course it's because you are suspected of murdering people."
Yao Qiran frowned, could it be that someone in Cuijia Village recruited someone?
He swallowed, curled his fingers, and asked tentatively: "Does Mr. Chu have any evidence?"
"Of course there is evidence. You will know it when you return to the government office." Chu Xiao was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and signaled the soldiers to take him away.
Yao Qiran was a little flustered, "Dad, dad!"
Yao Chengyu watched with a gloomy face as Yao Qiran was taken away from the Yao Mansion. Suddenly, a mournful cry came from behind him, "Qiran! Qiran!"
Mrs. Yao grabbed Yao Chengyu's sleeve, her eyes were red, "Master, please save Qi Ran! Why, how can you let them take Qi Ran away?"
"I don't know how much hardship I have to endure when I go to the Yamen!"
Yao Chengyu said nothing.
Seeing this, Yao Qiran felt a chill in his heart.
