No script time travel, the general helped me rise to the top

Chapter 217: The Case of the Disk

He originally wanted to use Bai Yibing's assassination to cause hostility between Rong and Dapu again, and to further deteriorate the relationship between Jia Kuizhuo and Tang Yuwei, so that he could mediate and better infiltrate Rong.

I didn't expect Bai Yibing to be so unprofessional that he could be exposed so easily.

Yuwen Bo immediately stood up and said, "General Jia, Dapu and Rong are neighbors. If something like this happens, I think someone must have ulterior motives to destroy the relationship between the two countries. It is definitely not someone from my camp who did it on purpose."

No one agreed with Yuwen Bo's words.

Tang Yuwei had already ordered several officers and soldiers to go and arrest the person. He said to Jia Kuizhuo, "Whether it is true or not, the evidence will speak for itself! General Jia, wait a moment! The person will be brought here soon!"

Bai Yibing was soon escorted here. Facing everyone's scrutiny and the body on the stretcher, Bai Yibing understood his situation and did not make any excuses. Instead, he said directly,

"I was the one who killed him. This guy bumped into me yesterday, and I was upset with him, so I killed him by accident!"

Tang Yuwei had expected such an answer.

Because last night, he didn't just bring back Yangyang, but he also sent people to monitor Yuwen Bo and Bai Yibing's every move.

The reason why no further action was taken was to wait for Bai Yibing's sophistry today and Yuwen Bo's expedient concession.

But at this time, Yuwen Bo did not speak first, but watched silently like Tang Yuwei.

As the crown prince, Yuwen Jin had already communicated with Tang Yuwei on this point. Now that they were nominally on the same front with Yuwen Bo, they must not directly point out Yuwen Bo's little tricks.

So he had to pretend, "Rong people, you killed him just because you said you killed him accidentally? It's totally lawless. Come! Drag him away immediately and execute him on the spot!"

The reason they said this was that they were sure that Bai Yibing did not want to die, because they had already instigated Bai Yibing to rebel long before this.

Jiang Jiarou had already been rescued, "Your Highness! It was an unintentional mistake, please spare my life!"

Yuwen Jin looked at his slightly trembling arms and was impressed by his acting skills. He raised his voice and said, "You killed someone without any instructions or coercion from others. How can I forgive you?"

Facing Yuwen Jin's obvious reminder, Bai Yibing caught a glimpse of Yuwen Bo's cold face from the corner of his eye. He was no longer the young marquis who said last night that he would do his best to protect him.

He was sweating profusely under the scorching sun, looking as if he was regretting his decision! Seeing this, Yangyang and the Crown Princess almost believed it.

In the current situation, if Yuwen Bo tells Jiang Jiarou, he will die! If he doesn't tell Jiang Jiarou, he will die!

In this case, he had no choice but to make a cunning excuse, "Son, I was coerced!"

"Coercion?" Yu Wenbo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interrupted Bai Yibing and reminded him, "You just said that you accidentally killed someone, and now you are being coerced. Who can believe you when your words are so inconsistent?"

"Little one, little one cannot die! Little one..."

Yangyang Wangzhi cooperated and persuaded, "Brother Yibing, if you have any unspeakable secrets, or if it's for the Jiang family, why don't you speak out?"

"Little one! ..."

"Humph! How can he say that? He is obviously a man with ulterior motives!" Yuwen Bo interrupted again, "Just as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, drag him down and execute him on the spot!"

"Hey!" Jia Kuizhuo received Tang Yuwei's instructions and saw that these people were shirking responsibility but there was no substantial progress. "Our Rong soldiers died. Do you want to find someone to take the blame? Don't you even ask clearly?"

Tang Yuwei then echoed, "General Jia is absolutely right."

Then he looked at Bai Yibing with a sudden compassionate look and said, "It is true that Bai Yibing is a government official in Dapuguotong County, but he is not an impulsive person!"

"In the beginning, I had to rush into Tong County to save people. Considering that no one was killed and he has some skills, I made him my bodyguard to protect the princess!"

"Oh! Save people? Save whom?" Yuwen Jin asked.

"It is said that she was captured by the Jinglin Guards. She is Jiang Jiarou, the daughter of Jiang Zhiang, the former magistrate of Tong County!"

"Hasn't this person been released?"

Bai Yibing listened to his words, feeling flustered but also happy. He looked at Yuwen Bo with a mixture of joy and confusion.

He said in a trance, "No, it's still there..." After coming to his senses, he pointed at Yuwen Bo and said, "It was the young marquis. The young marquis instructed me that as long as I kill this man, he will find a way to help me rescue Jiang!"

"This is sheer nonsense!" Yuwen Bo fanned his fan until sparks flew out of his hand. "Your Highness, how could I do something that undermines the dignity of the royal family! Please understand!"

"Of course I believe in the young marquis! But..." Yuwen Jin smiled faintly and sighed as he looked at Jia Kuizhuo and Tang Yuwei, determined to play out this scene completely.

"It involves the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Now there is a witness who has confessed. Does the young marquis have any evidence to prove his innocence?"

Yuwen Bo never thought that he would fall into the trap set by Yuwen Jin and his gang. He thought that since he had met Bai Yibing last night, everything would be safe today.

So, he knelt on the ground and said clearly and innocently, "Your Highness! How could this prince have any evidence? It was a false accusation! May I ask what evidence does Bai Yibing have to prove that it was this prince who ordered him to do so?"

Faced with Yuwen Bo's self-testimony, he seemed innocent and had no way to defend himself.

Jia Quezhuo then added, "Well! Young Marquis, you staged and acted in such a big drama yourself, and now you want to easily escape the blame!"

"Your Highness, is this how you treat your country? Are the lives of our Rong country's officers and soldiers no longer important?"

These inspiring words made all the officers and soldiers of Rong State roar in anger and determined to punish the young marquis on the spot.

It is not so easy to execute a prince, and this is just Yuwen Jin and Tang Yuwei's small goal today.

Now that the goal has been achieved, "General Jia, please give me some face. I will do my best to investigate this matter! But now that we are about to discuss it, it is not appropriate to cause any more trouble!"

"How about we take the young marquis into custody for the time being? Once we have come to a conclusion, we can make a detailed decision on the case."

In this way, Yuwen Jin used this matter to threaten Yuwen Bo, and he would surely pay more attention to the affairs of the Duan family.

And Jia Kuizhuo did not want to cause any trouble with the previous transaction between Rong and Dapu, so the two cooperated well.

So he said, "It's not bad! It's not bad!"

"Detained?" Yuwen Bo was shocked. He had never suffered such hardship before!

Just when they were at their wit's end, a woman's voice came from the outside, "No! You can't arrest the young marquis! I have evidence to prove it!"
