"Your wife and children are still slaves, right? The prince has said they should be turned into free citizens. Steward Tang is already working on it. You should understand what you should and shouldn't say, right?"
Tang Yu held the bowl and lowered his voice, "Tell the prince to take good care of my wife and children. I know what to do."
The jailer nodded. "I'll pass it on for you."
After a quick conversation, the jailer continued walking forward with the food bucket.
Tang Yu took a mouthful of the food that looked like pig food, spit it out directly, and threw the bowl aside.

Prince Jin's Mansion
"What did he say?" Tang Jingyu asked.
"He has agreed. Their wives and children are at home, so he doesn't dare to say anything careless." said the guard commander.
Tang Jingyu thought of what Gu Pianran said, "Send someone to keep a close eye on Tang Yu. Don't let anyone come into contact with him before the court session begins."
"yes."
"Also, send someone to keep a close eye on the Mu Mansion. Report any signs of trouble there immediately."
"yes."
After the commander of the guards left, Tang Jingyu began to contact other ministers in the court, interacting with them as usual, and they seemed not to be affected by this incident at all.
The yamen runner who was secretly watching Tang Jingyu reported the situation to Censor Zhou and Prime Minister Zhou.
"Tang Yu insisted that it was his own wish, and there was nothing unusual on the part of Prince Jin. It seems that it will be difficult to find out the mastermind behind this." Censor Zhou said in a low voice.
"Do you think that if a servant in your home commits a crime, even if it has nothing to do with you, you can concentrate on drinking and having fun?" Prime Minister Zhou suddenly asked.
Censor Zhou was stunned and immediately understood what he meant. Even if he was not in charge, he would definitely be implicated. Tang Jingyu's eating, drinking and having fun outside just proved that he was guilty. The more guilty he was, the more he acted as usual.
"It's not that he feels guilty, it's that he is confident that this matter will not implicate him." Censor Zhou said with a smile.
After several days of investigation, the government found that everything Tang Yu had said could be confirmed. However, he remained silent about what they wanted to hear the most.
He admitted all the crimes.
Three days later, the court finally opened for trial again. Just like the last time, the court was crowded with people.
"After Xi and Hong Ling's accusations, it was all your orders, is that true?"
Tang Yu nodded in agreement, "Yes, I instructed them to do so."
"I'm asking you, why did you frame Kinomote?"
"I was kicked out of the palace because of Mu Zhitao. The last time she had an affair with Miss Gu, Miss Gu was injured. Before the prince left the capital, he asked me to take good care of Miss Gu. But it was all because of that woman that I was implicated. My family was kicked out of the palace and we have no livelihood. She doesn't let us live, so I will let her die too." Tang Yu said viciously.
"Is it because of this that you planned to kill Zhang San's family?" Censor Zhou asked coldly.
"I didn't want to kill him, but when he saw me coming out of the palace, he thought I was easy to bully. I killed him and framed Mu Zhitao at the same time, killing two birds with one stone." Tang Yu said slowly.
"Where did you get the money to give to Hong Ling and Xi? This is no small sum. With your wealth, I'm afraid you can't afford such a large sum of money."
"I collected all that money from the farmers under the prince's name. Previously, I was responsible for collecting this money. They didn't even know I was kicked out of the palace. They didn't suspect anything when I collected it."
