But thinking about it, it makes sense. If he didn't have some skills, how could he catch thieves in a place like the capital?
Sang Qian spoke coldly, "Young Master Yi, there's no need to exaggerate. We have neither an imperial edict nor an arrest warrant issued by the Court of Justice. You are treating us like criminals. On the contrary, you are the ones who violated the rules first. We are not afraid of taking this to higher authorities."
“I’ve heard that Miss Sang is sharp-tongued, and seeing her today, I can confirm it,” Yi Zhibing said without getting angry. “But you’ll regret this soon.”
After giving him a look, a constable next to him immediately exclaimed, "Young master, we've found something here!"
A hidden compartment under the bed was opened, revealing several letters inside.
Yi Zhibing snatched it away: "Hehe, now that the evidence of Sang Hong's collusion with the demon race is here, what else do you want to say?"
"This is clearly a frame-up!" Sang Qian was somewhat annoyed. Everyone says that pregnancy makes you stupid for three years, and she had actually forgotten to guard against this trick. She should have gone along with them.
However, with limited manpower, they couldn't possibly keep an eye on everything in the yard. It was impossible to prevent the other party from casually stuffing these "evidence" into a corner.
"Watch out, or I'll sue you for defamation," Yi Zhibing laughed. "These were clearly found in your room, and so many people here can testify to that. Why are you blaming me?"
“That’s right, that’s right, we saw it with our own eyes.” The constables around him chimed in.
"You haven't even read the letter, so how would you know it's evidence of collusion with the demon race? Unless you fabricated all of this yourself," Zheng Dan said coldly. She had seen many such methods of destroying families in local gangs before, but she never expected that these high-ranking officials in the capital would use such crude and simple tricks.
Yi Zhibing's breath hitched, and it took him a long time to recover: "Hmph, whether the contents are related to the demon race or not, you can go to the prison to explain. Men, take them all away."
"Yes!" The burly constables surrounded the two women.
Sang Qian turned pale. Now she was using her loose dress to cover herself, but wouldn't her pregnancy be exposed once she was in prison?
The Sang family's reputation is a minor matter; what I'm most worried about is if I accidentally upset the baby and cause any problems.
Zheng Dan had obviously thought of this as well, and directly blocked Sang Qian's way. She hesitated whether to take Sang Qian and break through.
Although the constable on the other side is troublesome, she and Sang Qian have a chance to escape if they join forces. However, they will become wanted criminals, and there are many experts in the capital. They will have nowhere to hide.
But she knew that surrendering would be even more dangerous, and she was caught in a dilemma.
At this moment, Yi Zhibing waved his hand, signaling his men to stand guard outside the door: "Let me have a few words with the two young ladies first."
After those people closed the door, Zheng Dan said coldly, "What do you want to talk about?"
She wondered if she could take this opportunity to hostage the other party.
At this moment, Yi Zhibing looked her up and down and sighed, "Such a figure, such a beautiful woman, yet her life is so bitter. Her husband died right after she got married, and she can only waste her best years as a widow."
Hearing his flippant tone, Zheng Dan's face turned cold: "Shut up!"
"I'm telling you all this because I want to make a deal with you," Yi Zhibing thought, finding the young woman in front of him even charming when she was angry, and couldn't help but feel a little itchy. He waved the envelope in his hand, "Madam, you don't want anything to happen to this family, do you?"
