By reading my mind, I defeated the crazy regent

Chapter 307 Dishonest

He finally thought he had a backer, but it turned out that the Shangshu ignored him completely. He only helped him for the sake of Tang Qiansui and Marquis Song.

He suddenly realized that the only person he could ask for help was Tang Qiansui.

How ridiculous.

He would never beg Tang Qiansui for help in his life, never.

The prefect had Bai Cha taken out and Tang Baoyu brought in.

"What's your name?"

Tang Baoyu refused to cooperate and struggled to run to his father.

The prefect said coldly, "If you don't behave, I'll torture you. If you want to be beaten, then keep struggling."

Tang Baoyu screamed in fear: "Dad, help me! I don't want to be beaten! They will beat me to death! I'm so scared!"

Tang Qishan finally couldn't help but speak: "Baoyu, be good, Daddy is here, you won't be beaten, just kneel down and listen to what the adults ask."

"Dad, I want to go home."

Tang Baoyu's eyes were swollen from crying.

Having never been so scared or suffered so much since he was a child, Tang Baoyu felt that today was a terrifying day.

But he didn't want to be beaten after all, so he could only kneel there unwillingly.

The prefect then asked, "Did you kill that old woman from your family?"

Tang Baoyu knew that he couldn't admit it, otherwise he would be locked up here and unable to get out.

"Mother said I absolutely cannot admit it. I should say I don't know, but the prefect keeps asking. It's really annoying."

Tang Baoyu cried impatiently, "I don't know anything, don't ask me."

The prefect certainly wouldn't hesitate to ask: "You say you don't know, but there are witnesses who say they saw you kill someone, and that proves you did it. Your excuses are useless."

Tang Qishan immediately interrupted, "Excuse me, sir, who said they saw my son kill someone?"

The prefect said, "It's another old woman in your family."

"We left quickly. If we were a step later, the other woman might be dead now."

Tang Qishan: "..."

How can he justify this?

"Baoyu, the same goes for that. If you want to kill them all, just kill them all. What's the point of killing one and leaving one alone? Isn't that just giving people a handle?"

Tang Qiansui narrowed her eyes and cursed, "Scumbag."

Yin Tingyan sneered: "What's going on? Who are you scolding all of a sudden?"

Tang Qiansui said angrily, "Of course I'm scolding that bastard Tang Qishan. What a jerk! He wants to keep Tang Baoyu, a scourge like him, instead of getting rid of him immediately. Wouldn't that harm more innocent people?"

Yin Tingyan had a pretty clear understanding of this because he was used to this kind of situation.

"You think this man is despicable and a bad person, but Tang Qishan sees that Tang Baoyu is his son, so of course he wants to protect him."

"The perpetrators never think about the victims. If they were willing to think about this, they wouldn't become murderers."

"People are so selfish. They can hurt others. If others don't want them to live, then they won't want to. Tang Qishan is doing this now."

Tang Qiansui said angrily, "I won't let Tang Qishan succeed."

"Since Tang Baoyu has killed someone, he must pay the price. He killed intentionally. Such a person cannot be spared no matter what."

Yin Tingyan agreed. It was just killing a person. If Sui Sui liked it, he naturally had no objection.

"Okay, Tang Baoyu will pay the price, why are you so angry?"

In the interrogation room outside, Tang Baoyu was still crying.

Tang Qishan was still trying to defend his son: "Sir, it's inappropriate to have only one old woman as a witness in this matter, isn't it?"

"Those two old women have always been sneaky and cunning. It's only because of our kindness that we don't want to leave them without work. But not only are they ungrateful, they often act tyrannically at home."

"These two women have bad character. I really don't want to say more."

"That living woman is simply lying. Perhaps she was the one who murdered the deceased? She's just saying that to excuse herself."

It's quite bizarre that Tang Qishan could actually say such a thing.

The prefect asked, "Do you know how we found that woman?"

Tang Qishan was stunned and had a bad feeling in his heart.

The prefect sneered, "That woman was tied up in your kitchen. My people had to work very hard to untie the ropes on her."

"I'm asking you, what kind of expert is that woman? She's so powerful, she could kill someone, take him to the cellar, and then tie herself up and put her in the kitchen?"

"If this woman can do all of the above, then she is no ordinary person. She should be in heaven now and have made a fortune."

Tang Qishan certainly didn't know the details, and his expression became even uglier when he heard this.

If he had known these details earlier, he would not have said this casually just now. Isn't this just contradicting himself?

Tang Qiansui was already standing behind the door, peeking into the interrogation room through the gap.

The prefect snorted coldly: "Sir Tang, just because I let you in to see, doesn't mean you have the right to make decisions."

"If Tang Qiansui hadn't ordered Tang Qishan to come in, how could he have broken the rules and let Tang Qishan in to watch the interrogation?"

"You are actually a big suspect as well."

Tang Qishan hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, I was not at home when the crime occurred. I went to the home of the Minister of Revenue. If necessary, Your Excellency can go to the Minister's residence to inquire."

Tang Qishan immediately brought up the Shangshu to speak.

No matter what, the Shangshu is a first-rank official, and he can also certify himself, so he doesn't have to worry about the prefect finding trouble with him.

The prefect narrowed his eyes. "Really? Then I'll have someone ask the Minister of Revenue right away."

Tang Qishan: "..."

"He actually dared to ask someone to question the Minister! Isn't he afraid of angering the Minister?"

The prefect didn't care about all this and just sent people away as he said.

The interrogation continues.

The prefect repeatedly questioned Tang Baoyu.

Tang Baoyu is a child after all, so it is inevitable that he will reveal his true feelings when he speaks.

The most important thing is that Tang Baoyu is a fool with not very smart brain.

The prefect suddenly asked, "What did you use to kill that woman? An iron weapon?"

Tang Baoyu said subconsciously: "No, it was with a knife..."

"Baoyu!"

Tang Qishan was so frightened that he immediately scolded Tang Baoyu and interrupted him.

The prefect said sternly, "Tang Qishan, you are obstructing the investigation. Please leave immediately."

Tang Qishan certainly didn't want to go out: "Sorry, I was just in a hurry just now."

"Besides, sir, what you just said was suggestive and doesn't fit the bill for an interrogation, right?"

"It is not your turn to interrupt me in my interrogation. Someone, send Lord Tang out immediately."

Tang Qishan didn't want to leave, but the jailer had already grabbed his arm. If he still wanted to maintain his dignity, he couldn't struggle and could only leave.
