The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 312 You guys are working together to frame me

Seeing the yamen runners suddenly appear from a small path in the forest, not only were the thugs stunned, but Zheng Yan'er who was hiding in the dark was also confused.

Before she could figure out what was going on, she heard voices behind her.

"Zheng Yan'er, is it?"

Zheng Yan'er turned her head and saw two yamen runners in official uniforms. Her face turned pale instantly, "You, what are you doing!"

"Someone is suing you for hiring someone to commit a crime. Come with us to the yamen now!" the bailiff said in a cold voice.

Zheng Yan'er still wanted to argue, but the bailiffs did not give her a chance.

If they didn't cooperate, they would be escorted to the yamen, where all their words were successfully blocked.

The maid who followed Zheng Yan'er was also taken out of the forest.

As for the thugs that Zheng Yan'er had found, they were all captured by the yamen runners before they could even take any action.

All of them were taken back to the yamen.

When Zheng Yan'er arrived at the yamen, Zheng was already waiting there.

Although Zheng Yan'er failed to get anything out of the bailiff along the way, she naturally reacted after being caught in a trap.

It's just that she originally thought that Jiang Suining had seen through Zheng and her plan, so she took advantage of the situation.

She even cursed in her heart along the way, thinking that it must be that idiot Zheng who revealed a flaw and was discovered by Jiang Suining.

Seeing Zheng standing outside the yamen at this moment, Zheng Yan'er was stunned.

"Aunt, how could you..."

In an instant, Zheng Yan'er reacted completely.

"Could it be you!"

"That's right, it was me. You are so vicious that you even hired someone to kill Sui Ning. Fortunately, the officers are very capable and caught you all." Zheng's tone and expression were cold.

Jiang Suining, as the person involved, was also invited to the yamen.

He was walking out of the carriage at this moment.

When Zheng saw Jiang Suining, she immediately stepped forward and said, "Suining, are you okay?"

"Don't worry, mother. The officials showed up just in time. I am safe and sound."

Zheng Yan'er looked at the intimacy between the two and her expression turned extremely ugly. "Okay, so it turns out that you two colluded to frame me!"

"You are really wrongly accusing me. I am also very surprised by what happened today. If the officer had not appeared in time, I would be in danger of losing my life. How can you say I was framed?" Jiang Suining said to Zheng Yan'er.

The latter frowned and wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Zheng before he could say anything.

"Since you're already here, no matter how you try to argue, just go to court and speak!"

His indifferent attitude was completely different from when he felt sorry for Zheng Yan'er's injury before.

Soon, everyone was brought into the yamen, and while they were waiting to go to court, the yamen runners had already interrogated the ruffians.

Although the Jiang family is not an official family, they are imperial merchants and major taxpayers after all. More importantly, Jiang Suining has a great reputation in the imperial city. He has been praised by the emperor in an edict, and the government dare not neglect him.

Hu Sen, the official in charge of the case, had a dignified look on his face. "How dare you, a woman, hire someone to hurt someone in the imperial city!"

The slam of the gavel and the harsh questioning made Zheng Yan'er's heart beat like thunder. Without hesitation, she immediately pushed everything onto Zheng.

"Sir, I am innocent. I did not hire any killers. This was all arranged by my aunt."

"That's nonsense. Those knife-wielding thugs have confessed that the person who paid them was your servant. The servant has also confessed that she was following your orders to hire the murderer. You also told her to impersonate Madam Jiang in order to put the blame on others."

Zheng Yan'er didn't expect them to confess so quickly. She gritted her teeth and continued to argue.

"Sir, although I ordered this, I really did all this at the behest of my aunt. She was dissatisfied with Jiang Suining, saying that she was just an ungrateful person who didn't take her mother seriously at all. She wanted to teach her a lesson, so she asked me to do this."

Zheng Yan'er raised her head, looking aggrieved.

"Sir, I know it's against the law to do this, and I don't dare to do it, but I have no choice. My aunt forced me to do it. She also said that if I don't do as she ordered, my Heyun Tower will no longer be able to gain a foothold in the imperial city. I was forced into this!"

Zheng looked at her coldly, without any disappointment or anger in her eyes, as if she had already expected Zheng Yan'er to say that.

"You are lying and distorting the facts. Suining is my daughter. She is filial and kind, and capable. I am very satisfied with her. How could I let you hire someone to hurt her?"

"You obviously..."

"Moreover, if I was really dissatisfied with her, why would I come to the government office to report the case and ask the officer to save her? Isn't this a contradiction?"

"That's right. Madam Jiang hurried to the yamen today and said that she suspected you might do something bad to Miss Jiang. She even begged me on her knees to send someone to protect her. She looked very worried, and she was definitely not dissatisfied with Miss Jiang as you said." Hu Sen nodded and spoke.

Zheng Yan'er gnashed her teeth in hatred, "Sir, I understand, she wanted to frame me and put all the blame on me. If not, how did she know that I hired a killer? And why didn't she tell Jiang Suining, but came to the government office to report the case? Please be careful and clear my name!"

After saying this, Hu Sen also looked at Zheng.

"Mrs. Jiang, you really need to explain this matter."

Zheng bowed calmly, "Your Excellency, I know about the hiring of assassins because a few days ago, two big men went to Heyun Tower to cause trouble. At that time, I suspected that they were instructed by someone, so I have been investigating the matter these days. But I didn't expect that the person I sent to investigate came back today and reported that someone paid to hire assassins to deal with Sui Ning."

Zheng paused, glanced at Zheng Yan'er, and continued.

"I didn't believe it at first, but according to the servant, there were five hired men in total. The one who leaked the news got drunk and missed the time. The other four had already set out and ambushed on the way out of the city. And the target they wanted to kill was named by name, my daughter Sui Ning."

"I was shocked and frightened, but Sui Ning had already left home. I thought of relying on the servants to catch up, but I was afraid it would be too late, so I hurried to the government office to report the case and ask for help. Everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can confront that drunk thug!"

Zheng spoke in all seriousness, and his tone showed no fear of investigation at all.

The yamen runner standing nearby also bowed and said, "Sir, we took a shortcut out of the city. When we got outside the city, we saw Miss Jiang's carriage being stopped by a group of thugs. It looked like they had ambushed there in advance."

Hu Sen looked at Zheng Yan'er coldly, "You heard it all clearly, what else can you deny?"

"My Lord, I am truly wronged. This is all a planned frame-up!"

Cold sweat broke out on Zheng Yan'er's forehead. It seemed that this time she had really fallen into the trap of that old bitch Zheng, who had been wanting to plot against her from the very beginning!

No, she absolutely couldn't just plead guilty like that!

Zheng Yan'er was thinking quickly in her mind, and suddenly her eyes lit up and she pointed at Zheng and said.

"I only hired a group of thugs. The few people who came out earlier were not hired by me, but by her!"

After saying that, Zheng Yan'er hurriedly spoke to Jiang Suining.

"Don't even think about putting the entire thing on my head. Those thugs who showed up at the beginning were arranged by you!"

Fortunately, she was also careful at the time and told those people to show up after seeing the people hired by Zheng. Zheng and his people wanted to trap her, but they missed this point!

Jiang Suining had been standing there silently since she entered the courtroom, not saying a word. Now she finally spoke.

Meeting Zheng Yan'er's relieved look, she sighed and shook her head.

"It seems that you are really desperate and are making such irresponsible statements."

"Everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can interrogate those thugs. They will definitely..."

Jiang Suining interrupted Zheng Yaner and said, "Who told you that those people who appeared at the beginning were thugs?"
