Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

The madam's face instantly turned terrified.

"Lord Feng, Your Highness the Crown Prince, Princess Anguo, please don't be angry. We can discuss this. Our Fengxin Tower will never let you down..."

The madam stepped forward, a suggestive smile on her face, and pulled out a thick wad of silver notes from her sleeve: "This is just a drop in the bucket; we're willing to give you 100,000 taels of silver..."

"Oh."

Ying Yufu laughed. "Bribe us? Do you recognize this?"

A Mu family token appeared in Ying Yufu's hand.

The madam's smile froze instantly.

To compare wealth with the Mu family is like showing off one's skills in front of Lu Ban (a legendary carpenter).

Ying Yufu gave a cold smile: "Besides, wouldn't we get even more money if we raided your place?"

A flicker of fear crossed the madam's eyes.

"Fu'er, no need to waste words with her. Guards, arrest her and send her to the Dali Temple. Detain all other related persons as well and take them back for interrogation one by one."

A hint of resentment flashed in the madam's eyes. "Lord Feng, Your Highness the Crown Prince, you will regret this."

Once she's free, she'll make that Princess Anguo regret it.

Hmph, one day, she'll make this high and mighty person her top courtesan.

Just wait and see, the people behind her won't let her off the hook.

In the madam's eyes, it was all because of Ying Yufu that Fengxin Tower had fallen to such a state.

Dali Temple.

The Dali Temple's courtroom was brightly lit, as bright as day, and a row of prisoners knelt neatly below it.

After Shen Yue was sent back to receive treatment, the madam and the other main culprits from the brothel were all brought over.

Just as Lord Feng sat down behind his desk, the old Marquis of Xuanwu and his family arrived in a hurry.

"Lord Feng, what crime has my grandson committed?" The old Marquis Xuanwu was already over eighty years old, but he still walked with a vigorous stride.

The current Marquis of Weiyuan is already in his early fifties, and his wife is the same age as him.

The old Marquis Xuanwu followed the late emperor through thick and thin, spending decades on horseback, which eventually damaged his very health.

In addition, due to her advanced age, she only had one son, Marquis Xuanwu, Zhong Kang.

Zhong Kang was the same; he not only married late, but also waited until he was over thirty before having his only son, Chuan Xingchu.

Besides his wife, Zhong Kang also took six concubines, but unfortunately, none of them bore him any children.

Zhong Xingchu's existence became all the more precious, and he was granted the title of heir apparent at birth.

When Feng Hou saw this family walking in with angry brows, his scalp tingled with apprehension.

He quickly stood up. "Old Marquis, you've arrived. Please calm down, sit down and talk slowly."

After saying that, he quickly told someone to find him a seat.

Old Xuanwu glanced around coldly and spotted the Crown Prince.

"Your humble servant Zhong Tiezhu greets Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

He stepped forward respectfully and bowed.

Zhong Kang and his wife also stepped forward to pay their respects.

The Crown Prince personally helped the old Marquis Weiyuan up, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes, and said, "Old Marquis, please don't be angry. The whole story will become clear in a moment."

"This old minister knows that the Court of Judicial Review will not arrest people arbitrarily. This old minister knows the character of His Highness the Crown Prince and Marquis Feng."

That's why the old Marquis Xuanwu's expression became even more unpleasant.

He dared not even think about what would happen to the Marquis of Xuanyuan's mansion if his only grandson, the sole heir of the Zhong family, were to get into trouble.

Seeing his grandson kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down his face, he frowned immediately: "What are you crying for, a grown man? Look at yourself!"

Zhong Xingchu's eyes flickered guiltily, and he lowered his head, not daring to meet the gaze of the old Marquis Xuanwu.

The Zhong Kang couple looked at their son with great heartache, but when they saw his unruly appearance, they became angry again. For a moment, they were both angry and heartbroken.

The old Marquis Xuanwu's expression turned even more unpleasant.

Given how dissolute his grandson was, if he had scolded him like this normally, the grandson would have cried and begged him to take charge.

But this time, they didn't even dare to make eye contact.

Recalling the enigmatic look in the eyes of the Dali Temple soldiers who had gone to his residence to report the incident, the old Marquis Xuanwu's mood grew even more somber.

This bastard has probably really done something big this time.

Could it be that he got into a murder case?

If it really involves human life, then even if he is his grandson, he can't protect him.

"My lord, I have a request, and I hope you will grant it."

Lord Feng spoke.

"Lord Feng, please speak," the old Marquis Xuanwu said directly.

Feng Hou said, "I beg you, Lord Marquis, permission to send men to the Xuanwu Marquis's residence to search Zhong Xingchu's courtyard."

The old Marquis Weiyuan's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Granted."

"No, Grandfather!" Zhong Xingchu suddenly screamed.

"Grandpa, Father, Mother, please save me! We can't let them dig! What right do they have to dig up my yard?!"

"Dig?" Zhong Kang's expression changed.

Just now, Feng Hou said "flip over," but how did it become "dig" in his son's mouth?

Zhong Kang's face also turned pale.

He glared at his son and said, "Shut up! Who gave you the right to speak here?"

Zhong Xingchu was extremely anxious, but the people from the Dali Temple had already set off.

Upon seeing this, Zhong Xingchu's face turned ashen, and he muttered, "We can't dig, we really can't dig..."

Seeing his appearance, the mood of the Marquis of Xuanwu and his family became even more somber.

"Lord Feng, the trial can begin. There's no need to worry about us. If he has truly committed a crime, the Xuanwu Marquis's mansion will not tolerate it."

The old Marquis of Xuanwu spoke in a booming voice.

Lady Hou's lips moved, but she ultimately did not utter any words of pleading.

Lord Feng gave them a deep look and said, "Old Lord, don't be in a hurry. Before interrogating Zhong Xingchu, we must first interrogate Lu Changshen."

Everyone then looked at Lu Changshen, who was also pale-faced and trembling.

With a sharp crack, the judge slammed his gavel. "Lu Changshen, I ask you, do you admit to selling your wife into a brothel and your one-year-old daughter to Zhong Xingchu, the heir of the Marquis of Xuanwu?"

Lu Changshen hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, please understand. It was all caused by my fake father-in-law. I was misled by him and did wrong. I know I was wrong and beg Your Excellency's forgiveness."

The old Marquis Xuanwu blinked in disbelief. What had he just heard?

Selling a one-year-old girl to his grandson?

Why would his grandson buy a one-year-old girl?

Is it because he can't have children either, so he's planning to buy one?

"How could you be so easily swayed, selling your wife and daughter? Lu Changshen, you'd better confess honestly!"

"My lord, I am lowering my rank..."

"cough!"

Ying Yufu suddenly coughed lightly. The cough wasn't particularly noticeable, but Lu Changshen tensed up almost instantly. He turned his head abruptly and saw Ying Yufu staring at him with icy eyes.

Lu Changshen's body went limp, and the last glimmer of hope in his heart vanished.

If he dares to argue, Ying Yufu will definitely not let his whole family off the hook.

Thinking of this, he immediately said, "This humble official will summon you."

After saying that, he glanced at Zhong Xingchu, and a hint of malice suddenly flashed in his eyes. He was finished, and wouldn't this high-ranking and noble prince also be finished?

He figured he was only selling his wife and daughter; at worst, he'd lose his official position, but perhaps he could still save his life.

But this one is definitely going to die.

Thinking of this, he spoke directly, "My lord, it was because I heard that Prince Zhong has a fondness for young children that I had the idea of ​​selling my young daughter to him."
