Shaohua is Junqing

Chapter 140

Yin Qianlan came to the county jail again.

"Peng Hu, I am going to record your statement now. You must answer whatever I ask you. You must not tell a lie, otherwise I will punish you severely."

"I know, and I will tell the truth."

When Yin Qianlan finished recording Peng Hu's confession, the people he sent had already brought Jiang Long back.

"Your humble servant Jiang Long pays respect to the county magistrate."

"Get up and talk."

"Thank you, sir."

"I think you already know why I called you here. If you explain the whole story to me, I may be able to plead for you and spare your life."

"Please ask, sir."

Yin Qianlan got Jiang Long's confession and compared it with Peng Hu's confession. They were exactly the same. He was sure that Yin Jiafu was the mastermind behind the scenes. When he confirmed this, he couldn't help but sigh, feeling helpless and heartbroken.

The next morning, Mrs. Yin brought food to Yin Jiafu.

"Fuer, are you up? Mother brought you some food, eat it while it's hot."

Yin Jiafu opened the door, and Mrs. Yin passed the food in through the gap between the wooden boards of the door.

"Mom, when can you let me out?"

"Fu'er, tell me the truth, have you colluded with the bandits from Dragon and Tiger Village to murder Prince Chen and Princess?"

"No." Yin Jiafu lowered her head and focused on eating. She didn't dare to look at Madam Yin, and her voice was very low.

"Fu'er, your father is only locking you up here now, instead of sending you directly to Prince Chen, in order to give you a chance to survive. As long as you tell the truth, your father and mother will protect you even at the risk of their lives."

"Mom." After hearing what Mrs. Yin said, Yin Jiafu finally broke down and burst into tears.

Mrs. Yin was unable to hug Yin Jiafu because of the wooden board. She could only hold her hand and comfort her: "Poor child, your parents will protect you."

Yin Jiafu told Madam Yin the whole truth.

"My child, you are so confused!"

"Mom, you must save me. I don't want to die yet."

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you even if I risk my life."

Mrs. Yin conveyed to Yin Qianlan word for word what Yin Jiafu had said to her.

"Master, what should we do?"

"Record her confession and have her sign it. I will go to see the Prince in person."

"Master, you must save Fu'er. She only did such a stupid thing because she was infatuated with love for a moment."

"Don't worry, no matter what she did, she is our daughter. I will not stand by and watch her die."

Yin Qianlan came to Yonghui Garden to meet Prince Chen with the confessions of Jiang Long, Peng Hu and Yin Jiafu.

"I have investigated the matter thoroughly. This is the confession of the mastermind and the main criminal."

Beitang Mo Ran read the confession and said, "What is Lord Yin going to do?"

"Your Highness, I did this because I was confused for a moment. Please spare her life." Yin Qianlan knelt down and kowtowed and begged.

"Lord Yin was an official in Beijing before, and he had always done a good job. Lord Yin should know why he was demoted to this position."

"It's because I didn't discipline my daughter strictly, and she did something wrong."

"So this time, Ling Qianjin did something wrong again and hurt the princess. Ling Qianjin did harm to the princess several times. Lord Yin, do you think she was just confused for a moment?"

"I know I was wrong. I failed to discipline my daughter. I will take all the blame. Please forgive my daughter."

"It seems that Lord Yin really loves this daughter! First, lock Yin Jiafu up in the county jail. As for what to do with her, I will make a decision after I ask the princess."

"Yes, I will obey your orders."

Yin Qianlan was relieved that he was not killed on the spot. At least there was still hope.
