Jiang Youhou and Bao Yan stood in front of Jiang Bisheng's body, silent.
Fan Ren repeated what he had said to the Jiang family and took out the suicide note as evidence.
Qian Xiaoliu stepped forward at this time and said, "Sir, I can vouch for Brother Fan. Everything Brother Fan said is true and there is absolutely no falsehood!"
"Who are you?"
"I am the sixth son of the steward Qian from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. You can just call me Qian Xiaoliu."
"Oh...it turns out to be the son of Butler Qian..." Lord Xu smiled flatteringly.
Seeing this, Fan Ren was delighted and exchanged glances with Qian Xiaoliu.
Lord Xu then asked for the confessions of the Jiang family servants, and finally looked at Jiang Youhou and Bao Yan, "Which of you two is Jiang Youhou?"
"It's me!"
"Oh?" Lord Xu was surprised. "You may be a young boy, but you're so cruel and ruthless that you actually killed your adoptive father for the sake of the family fortune!"
"Sir, the facts haven't been ascertained yet, how can you easily convict me!"
"Isn't this clear enough? The evidence is there, and you're still trying to argue? Confess your guilt and face punishment!"
"Why should I confess if I'm not guilty?"
Fan Ren was heartbroken and said, "My Lord, you must make a decision for me!"
Qian Xiaoliu suggested, "Sir, if this traitor refuses to confess, you can impose some punishment to make him confess..."

Lord Xu took a deep breath and thought to himself, "I can't afford to offend this villain. Today, I will let this boy suffer bad luck..."
"Since this is the case, I must eliminate this evil for the people..."
"Come here, take the suspect away and give him twenty lashes!"
Twenty big boards?
Such a young child, if he doesn't die, he will be disabled...
Fan Ren and Qian Xiaoliu smiled proudly.
Bao Yan was really annoyed by the stupidity of this Jingzhao Yin. He picked up Jiang Youhou and was about to leave.
Before Jiang Youhou left, he suddenly discovered... the corpse covered with white cloth in front of him moved.
He rubbed his eyes quickly... At this moment, a notice came from the gate of the yamen, "Princess Chengqian has arrived——"
"Mother..." Jiang Youhou turned his head and looked towards the entrance of the yamen, his eyes lighting up.
