Zhao Ye harbored a secret wish: that he could command the guards to forcibly remove Uncle Qing from the scene.

Uncle Qing responded with a disdainful sneer. “Second Young Master Zhao, I solemnly swear that I never betrayed my master. It was our Young Master who issued those orders. What’s your intention in falsely accusing me?”

Zhao Ye retorted, “With Third Brother absent, you have the opportunity to defend yourself. If you manage to extricate yourself from this predicament, you can take the money and disappear. Where else would I find you?”

“I dare to swear, and what about you, Second Young Master Zhao? Perhaps we should use the same words with our Young Master! You make these accusations when he’s conveniently absent!”

“Utter nonsense!”

“That’s nothing but slander!”

“Enough!” The officer intervened sternly, rapping the wooden surface in irritation. “This is a serious matter involving millions of liang. Mere words won’t suffice. Second Young Master Zhao, do you possess any evidence?”

Zhao Ye hadn’t anticipated the prefect’s inquiry. He clenched his teeth, suppressing his anger, and replied, “Officer, my Third Brother is not capable of such treachery. It must be this servant!”

Uncle Qing vehemently protested, “Officer, no, it wasn’t me!”

“Young Master Zhao, are you absolutely certain?”

“Without a doubt!”

Uncle Qing sneered once more. “And what if that’s untrue? Second Young Master Zhao might be unjustly accusing us!”

Fuming and humiliated, Zhao Ye reluctantly agreed with himself that he had to make a difficult decision.

“Officer, please apprehend Madame Shao and interrogate her!”

Zhao Ye muttered to himself about the officer’s apparent lack of astuteness, questioning why they were focusing solely on one individual. Hadn’t the Shao Family played a part as well? Furthermore, they should be subjected to rigorous interrogation!

After some contemplation, the officer concurred with Zhao Ye’s suggestion and instructed someone to summon the Shao Family. Sun Qian was among those brought forward.

Zhao Ye couldn’t conceal his relief. The officer had successfully brought the Shao Family to the scene, and although Madame Shao was absent, her presence was effectively represented!

It appeared that the officer still harbored some bias in favor of her, presumably due to the Zhao Family’s influence in Yangzhou.

Sun Qian vehemently refuted Zhao Ye’s claims, much like Uncle Qing, insisting that it was Zhao Shu who had brokered the contract sale.

Zhao Ye somehow had the confidence to deny what they said. He did not believe a word they said. Even though he had no evidence, he still believed that it was Uncle Qing who had colluded with the Shao Family to get rid of the contract.

He was so shameless that Ms.Zheng’s mulberry garden became the Zhao Family’s.

Uncle Qing almost laughed out of anger.

Sun Qian did not have the patience to talk nonsense with Zhao Ye. He asked Uncle Qing to get Young Master Zhao here, so that Young Master Zhao would be present.

But Uncle Qing was in a dilemma. He expressed that his Young Master really wanted him to make the decision. He was out of town and he might not be back anytime soon.

Zhao Ye cheered inwardly. That was even more true! He even suspected that he had hit the right spot of what he did!

Maybe it was Uncle Qing who did it…

Zhao Ye, who had gained a lot of confidence, started to speak more straightforwardly. He was driven away by Uncle Qing and Sun Qian, who said that if he made a mistake, he was willing to kowtow to them and apologize to them in public!

Sun Qian said immediately, “I won’t kowtow. If you are mistaken, give me 100,000 liang, do you dare?”

Under such a circumstance, Zhao Ye really wanted to say so.

He agreed without hesitation.

Then he cupped his hands and said, “Please, Officer!”

Use the punishment! Torture this old servant!
