"Adjourn."
Bei Yutang was taken away by the yamen runners again.
-
Zhang Mansion
A visitor quietly appeared in the study, and Mr. Zhang was very surprised when he saw the visitor.
"Master Zhang, regarding Bei Yutang's matter, our prince hopes to deal with her as soon as possible."
Zhang looked embarrassed. "It's not that I don't want to deal with it, but I just can't do anything about it. If she doesn't sign, the case can't be closed."
The visitor said coldly, "She won't sign, don't you know of other ways to make her sign?"
"If the officials in the Censorate knew about this forced confession, I would..." Lord Zhang looked embarrassed.
"Who forced you to confess? You couldn't just knock her unconscious and press her handprints on her."
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll have someone do it right away."
"Your Highness does not want this matter to drag on for too long. Once the signatures are sealed, the judgment will be immediate. We cannot detain this person for too long."
"yes."
Late at night
Three female jailers appeared in the cell, blew smoke into the cell, and the three of them closed the cell.
A quarter of an hour later
"Is that about enough?" asked one of the female guards.
"I think it's almost done."
"Open the door, open the door, hurry up and get it done, go back to sleep." Another female prison guard urged impatiently.
The female jailer opened the door, and everyone in the cell fell into a coma. They walked straight into the depths of the cell, and finally stopped in front of Bei Yutang's cell door.
I opened the cell and saw the person inside was already asleep.
One person spread out the confession, and the other grabbed her hand, pressed red clay on it, and signed it. On the confession, there was also Mu Zhitao's signature, and the handwriting was exactly the same as her own.
After they finished, they left in a hurry.
The next day, word spread in the streets that Bei Yutang had confessed his guilt and had signed his name. In the end, Lord Zhang sentenced him to death by beheading, and due to the serious nature of the crime, he was executed three days later.
Gu Pianran got the news first.
"Miss, that woman finally confessed her guilt."
Although this result was reasonable, she felt that something was missing.
Seeing the young lady's solemn expression, Xia He asked suspiciously, "Young lady, aren't you happy? That evil woman is finally going to be beheaded."
"You go out first."
Gu Pianran sat on the chair, his eyes thoughtful.
What exactly is wrong?
On the other side, Dai Xiang and others were dumbfounded after hearing the verdict.
Xue Qian went to the yamen runners to inquire, and they asked for confirmation of signature and seal, and also allowed people to visit.
"How could this be possible?"
Xue Qian said in a deep voice, "They must have done something. They must have been tortured into confessing."
"If General Bei Xiao were here, we'd have help. What should we do now? We can't find him, and they insist that Sister Mu has confessed."
"Let's go find Young Master Lei," Dai Xiang suggested.
"No. Young Master Lei is in Yanzhou now to provide disaster relief. It would be too late to go back and forth. In three days, Madam will be executed." Xue Qian frowned.
Seeing that An Ye remained silent, Yu Guang suddenly thought of something, "How about letting An Ye break out of the prison?"
"Prison-robbing is a capital crime, and the entire family will be executed." Dai Xiang said subconsciously.
"Then what should we do?" Daixiang frowned and looked worried.
Xiao Moer looked at Dai Xiang and Xue Qian, "There is a way."
The three of them looked at him in unison.
