Chapter 398: I've never seen such a stupid egg

The guards brought up the robbers from that year.

Master Ning said sternly, "Tell Third Master Cao the truth of what happened back then."

As soon as the robbers came in, they knelt on the ground and burst into tears: "Back then, it was Miss Cao who gave us a large sum of money and asked us to pretend to kidnap her and then deliver a letter to the Cao family."

Master Ning kicked the robber and said, "Tell me clearly which Miss Cao you are."

Robber: "It's, it's Cao Jiaojiao, the fake Miss Cao."

"After we kidnapped her, when the Cao family's people were about to arrive, we were asked to do something to her, making movements and sounds that would insult her."

"When the Cao family arrived, we pretended to be defeated and ran away, then pretended to accidentally reveal that we were hired by another young lady from the Cao family."

Cao Que's head was filled with blood: "Impossible, impossible."

"Jiaojiao is so kind, so gentle, and so understanding, how could she possibly do such a thing?"

"Were you forced to slander Jiaojiao?"

Cao Que looked at Master Ning and said, "Uncle Ning, you must have been deceived by them."

"Jiaojiao is not that kind of person."

"You must believe me."

Master Ning looked at the robber.

The robber said hurriedly: "I have evidence."

"Back then, after we did this for her, your Cao family really dealt with the real Miss Cao. The fake Miss Cao wanted to get rid of us and silence us. We are in the business of licking blood and knives, and we have seen too many people like this. We have already thought of a countermeasure."

"She failed to destroy us. Instead, we used this incident as a threat to extort a large sum of money from the fake Miss Cao."

"The fake Miss Cao couldn't come up with that much silver at once, so she used a lot of gold and silver jewelry to pay for it, and we haven't sold those things yet."

The robber took out a bundle from his arms.

When Cao Que saw what was in the bundle, his face turned pale.

In the bundle was a bracelet he gave to Cao Jiaojiao, which cost him a full 1,000 taels of silver.

There are also the gold lock, gold necklace and gold hairpin he gave me.

After he gave it to Cao Jiaojiao, he never saw her wear it. When asked about it, Cao Jiaojiao just said that she didn't like extravagance and preferred to save it as a dowry.

He also felt sorry for Cao Jiaojiao because she felt insecure, so the first thing he did after receiving his salary was to buy all kinds of things for Cao Jiaojiao.

In addition to the gifts he gave to Cao Jiaojiao, there were also gifts from his mother, his father, his eldest brother, second brother, and fourth brother, and his grandmother...

They handed all these things to Cao Jiaojiao personally.

Many of these things were given to me after my younger sister was sold by them, so there is no possibility of them being stolen by others.

The robber said, "We were afraid she would do something desperate, so we completely cut off contact three years ago."

"Master Ning, we have said everything we need to say and we have confessed our crimes. Please show some mercy."

Master Ning ordered his men to take the robbers away.

He looked at the pale Cao Que and said coldly, "There are witnesses and evidence, yet you're still stubborn?"

Cao Que didn't say anything, his eyes were unfocused.

Master Ning didn't have time to talk nonsense with him.

He had completely known the truth and everything the Cao family had done to his savior.

They have been treated like fools by the Cao family for so many years. It would be too easy for them to just let the Cao family collapse.

How dare he treat his savior like this.

snort!

Master Ning turned away in anger.

After a long while, Cao Que finally laughed out loud: "You lied to me."

"You must be lying to me."

"Jiaojiao is so kind, she wouldn't do such a thing. You all lied to me and teamed up to deceive me."

"Jiaojiao is a lucky girl. After she came to our family, our family has been going smoothly and has been on a bright and successful path."

"Jiaojiao is blessed by the gods, how could she do such a thing?"

"I want to see Jiaojiao."

"Let me see Jiaojiao..."

Outside the door, Xiaonan rolled his eyes.

I've seen stupid people, but I've never seen one as stupid as this.

It is better to believe that he is the emperor than to believe that the evil one is a lucky woman.

"You guys in the Cao family are really crazy," Xiaonan said. "What does Cao Jiaojiao have to do with the Cao family's smooth sailing? It's the Ningguo Mansion that's grateful for the Cao family's life-saving grace and specifically instructed all of Ningguo Mansion's disciples to look after the Cao family."

"The Cao family's rapid rise to prominence relies on the real daughter of your Cao family."

"Master Ning has already known the truth. I want to see if your Cao family's blessed daughter is still able to save you."

After Xiaonan finished speaking, he left without looking back.

This is the Ministry of Justice prison.

Cao Que can't escape.

Even if the crime of attempted murder does not result in death, the sentence of several months in prison is undeniable.

He had no time to waste with idiots.

His part was almost over, and he tried to perform well before the filming was wrapped.

He learned the term "killing the whole thing" from the princess.

Although I don't understand.

But it didn't stop him from thinking the word was domineering.

…

The Cao family was anxious and running around like an ant on the hot pan as they saw Cao Que had not returned for a long time.

Especially Cao Jiaojiao.

Cao Jiaojiao always had a very bad feeling.

for a long time.

The person Cao Jian sent out to investigate came back panting.

"Master, I found out by beating him."

"Ministry of Justice."

"The Third Young Master was arrested by the Ministry of Justice."

Cao Jian's eyes widened: "What did you say?"

"Cao Que was arrested by the Ministry of Justice? Why did the Ministry of Justice arrest him? Did he succeed?"

The servant gasped, "I found a fellow villager who happened to know some information."

"It's said that the Third Young Master followed someone up the mountain and tried to push them off a cliff, but was spotted and caught red-handed. He was then taken to the government office. When the government office saw it was the Third Young Master, they sent him to the Ministry of Justice."

Cao Jian's head was buzzing.

They were just two ordinary people. The third son was quite good at martial arts, so how could he fail?

The case even reached the Ministry of Justice.

Ministry of Justice!

Cao Jian suddenly remembered that the Minister of Justice was a disciple of Duke Ningguo and was very caring towards the Cao family.

He had to go to the Ministry of Justice first and ask the Minister of Justice to suppress the matter.

However.

Before Cao Jian could finish his thought, the servant said, "After the Minister of Justice saw that our Third Young Master was in trouble, he went to invite Master Ning over."

"I ran into Master Ning head-on. He seemed very angry."

Cao Jian fell into the chair with only one thought in his mind.

It's over.

It's all over.

It’s all the fault of these sons. They could have just killed the person, but they had to sell him instead.

Now, one wrong move and the whole game is lost.

Cao Jiaojiao felt a chill in her heart.

Her bad premonition came true.

The Ningguo Mansion must have already known the truth, and the Cao family is probably finished.

She couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

She had to take advantage of the Cao family's still prosperity to quickly collect some money and escape.

Cao Jiaojiao made up her mind: "Dad, maybe things are not as bad as we thought."

"Master Ning is probably angry only about Third Brother's crime. Third Brother knows the stakes and will definitely not confess."

"In my opinion, you should go to the Ningguo Mansion and apologize, and try to cover up this matter."

Cao Jian slowly calmed down.

Jiaojiao was right, he should go and apologize first.

Immediately, he carried the whip on his back and headed to the Ningguo Mansion.

When Mr. Ning heard the news that Cao Jian had come to apologize, he sneered.

"Miss Wen Ge, please come out with me."
