Even though his prison uniform was stained with blood, he still refused to plead guilty.

After a while, an officer ran up to the assistant officer and whispered, "Second Master, a man named Wu Datou appeared at the door of Mr. Ma's house and said that someone named Ma had ordered him to take the golden crabs from the Ma family and put them in his house."

When the deputy officer heard this, he naturally thought that this was someone the Ma family had sent to accuse Ma Dong, and he couldn't help but say, "Let Wu Datou come in!"

After hearing this, the officer replied, "Yes!"

After Wu Datou arrived at the yamen, the people from the Ma family followed him slowly. He had given Wu Datou a sum of money two days ago, and he would get another sum of money as long as he accuses Ma Dong. So when Sun Chunxiang arrived at the yamen and saw Wu Datou there, she was not surprised at all.

"Master Ji, please help me! When my master died, he took advantage of his absence and tried to defile me. Fortunately, my maid discovered him and prevented him from succeeding. I bought him a courtyard in West City and asked him to move there. But a few days ago, when he came back to pay homage to his mother, he actually stole the golden crab from my room."

Sun Chunxiang covered her face and cried, continuing, "If I had lost other things, I wouldn't care, but this was bought for me by my master before he died. It means a lot to me."

Wu Datou looked around and didn't see the old man from last night, so he became bolder.

"Master! Someone named Ma ordered me to go to the Ma family and steal the golden crab. I plead guilty!" Wu Datou was still a bit shrewd. Although he didn't see the old man last night, he didn't say his name. This gave people the illusion that it was Ma Dong who ordered him to go to the Ma family and steal it. Who would have thought that the Ma family ordered him to steal their own golden crab to Ma Dong's house!

After hearing this, Ma Dong quickly defended himself, "Master, I don't even know this guy next to me, so how could I have ordered him to do this? Besides, if I had ordered him to do this, how could I have hidden the stolen goods in my own home?"

When the assistant officer heard this, he was instantly overwhelmed. How could the Ma family be so unreliable? He couldn't help but regret taking the money. It was too expensive.

Tietou, hiding in the crowd, heard the evidence against Ma Dong and couldn't help but mutter in the crowd, "Whoever steals something would sell it quickly, not just keep it at home."

After hearing this, the people around thought about it and felt that it was true. What's more, as soon as Mr. Ma died, the stepmother immediately drove Ma Dong out of the house. Wasn't this just to seize the Ma family's property?

Most people saw it on the surface and stood up for Sun Chunxiang. In their eyes, this stepmother was too miserable. After Ma Yuanwai's death, she was almost defiled by Ma Dong. This Ma Dong was a beast in human skin and now he was even stealing! With a bad reputation and a bad reputation, people naturally had a bad impression of Ma Dong.

Seeing this, the deputy officer calmly said, "Ma Dong, you have committed misconduct and concealed other people's property. These are two pieces of evidence. I sentence you to exile three thousand miles away!"

Suddenly, a clear voice came from the door, "Is this how Master Ji judges the case?"

A path opened through the crowd at the entrance. It was Zhao Xiucheng, followed by Tong Wenyao and Xing'er. However, Tong Wenyao was still dressed as an old man. When Wu Datou, kneeling on the ground, saw the old man, the fear of falling into the river last night came back to him. He had been hoping for a lucky break, but reality dealt him a heavy blow.

When Ji Lou saw Zhao Xiucheng here, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He dared to accept the bribe because Zhao Zhifu was out of the city, but now why did Zhao Zhifu's son come to interfere? What if he knew that he had accepted the bribe, would he still have a way to survive?

He pulled the corners of his mouth and tried to smile, "Mr. Zhao, I wonder why you are here?" Zhao Xiucheng glanced at him and said coldly, "Master Ji, I am just here to listen. I hope Master Ji will handle this impartially."

Those present saw the expression of wanting to cry but smiling on Master Ji's face, and they didn't understand why, but they could also clearly see a hint of respect for the young man in front of him.

Ji Lou had the officer bring a chair over and place it beside him, so Zhao Xiucheng could sit there. Tong Wenyao and Xing'er followed behind him, keeping silent. However, when they approached, Tong Wenyao paused for two seconds on Wu Datou's body before walking straight behind Zhao Xiucheng.

Wu Datou had originally held onto some hope, but after the old man arrived, his face turned pale. The premise for getting money was that you had to live to spend it, but now he was dead. How could he spend the money given by the Ma family? Haha, after death, it would just be a cup of yellow earth.

Wu Datou was thinking long-term. He firmly believed that what he could spend was real money. It was not worth risking his life for the Ma family's money.

His life is worth much more than silver. As long as he is alive, he can make a lot of money.

Therefore, he betrayed the Ma family without hesitation and said, "Sir, I was forced by the Ma family! The Ma family ordered me to put the golden crab in Ma Dong's house."

Ji Lou frowned and cursed the Ma family in his heart for being unreliable.

He picked up the gavel and slammed it on the table, "Silence!" Everyone present was so frightened by the loud bang that they dared not speak.

"What evidence do you have?"

Wu Datou had already offended the Ma family at this time, so he was naturally not afraid of offending them again. He quickly told them everything about where they were doing the transaction.

"The person who contacted me was the Ma family's steward, General Hu. Master, please send someone to bring him in for questioning."

Ji Lou glanced at the officers below and said, "Come here, bring over the steward of Ma Jiahu!"

The people below clasped their fists and saluted, "Yes!"

Before the officer left, he heard the Hu chief steward say, "I am the Hu chief steward. The officer does not need to go to the Ma family anymore."

Tong Wen Yao looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Manager Hu was wearing a blue suit and a black hat on his head. He had small eyes and looked like a rather vicious person!

When this person arrived, his first words were, "Master, this is the first time I've met this gentleman. How can this be a deal? Moreover, why would my Ma family pay to hire a fool like Wu Datou? Why not just hire a killer to kill him? Master, this is illogical. We don't need to get ourselves into trouble!"

As soon as these words came out, the scene that had originally leaned towards Ma Dong instantly tilted towards the Ma family. Yes! What reason did the Ma family have to target Ma Dong? There was absolutely no reason.

Tong Wen Yao felt that Butler Ma was very eloquent and could get everyone to follow his ideas with just a few words.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Tong Wenyao became anxious. Even Wu Datou started to change his confession! He even took out the letter of guilt she had written from his arms.

"Master, it was Ma Dong who ordered others to force me to say this! I have to say that this is a confession they forced me to write. I am innocent! Please help me, Master."

Tong Wen Yao wanted to throw Wu Datou into the water at this moment. It was one scene at a time, and it would be another scene later.
