Bing'er looked at the proud Xiao Yun. She did not expect Xiao Yun to refuse to admit it even if she died. She was Shang Yun'er. He couldn't be sure that the bracelet was Xiao Yun's, even if he was sure that the owner of the bracelet was Shang Yun'er, it would be useless.

Just as Bing'er was at a loss for what to do, from the corner of her eyes, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Lu Zhao, who was standing outside the Discipline Hall. Lu Zhao's right hand was holding onto a man.

"Sir, there is someone who can prove that the jade bracelet in Constable Chen's hand is little Yun's." Bing'er turned around and reported to Nanhai.

"Who is it?" Southern Ocean looked at Bing'er and asked.

Bing'er turned around and pointed at Lu Zhao, "That's him, Lu Zhao."

Everyone looked in the direction that Bing'er was pointing at. When they saw Lu Zhao outside of the Discipline Hall, they were all stunned. Everyone knew about the famous Lu Zhao!

When Little Yun saw Lu Zhao, she didn't have any strange expression on her face. When she withdrew her gaze, from the corner of her eyes, she saw Lu Zhao dragging a man with his right hand. That man's appearance shocked her.

"Announce Lu Shao to the court." Nanhai ordered.

The spectators outside the Discipline Hall all moved aside to make way for Lu Zhao.

Lu Zhao walked up to the Discipline Hall with a well-dressed man in one hand. He threw the man onto the ground forcefully, and the man fell to the ground as he crawled up and kneeled in front of Nanhai.

Lu Zhao cupped his fists and bowed towards Southern Ocean, "Lu Zhao greets Sir Inspector."

"Pardon me, Lu Zhao, who did you take to the hall?" When Southern Ocean ordered Lu Zhao to dispense with the formalities, he impatiently asked Lu Zhao.

Lu Zhao looked coldly at the man kneeling on the ground, and then cupped his fists, respectfully replying to Nanhai, "Sir, this man's surname is Chu, he is the boss of a clothing shop in the capital. After Constable Chen and Liang Si's analysis, it was highly likely that Xiao Yun had lied about the case of Cai Die being poisoned to death. Therefore, Lu Shao had secretly followed Little Yun for a long time and discovered that she was very close to Chu Wang. Subordinate Shunteng followed behind Chu Wang, and saw him holding the jade bracelet in Constable Chen's hand and going to the pawnshop to pawn. "

Nanhai heavily slapped the wooden log, and then pointed to the kneeling Chu Wang, "Chu Wang, is what Lu Zhao said true?"

Chu Wang hurriedly kowtowed to Southern Ocean, "Yes, that jade bracelet was taken by this commoner to be pawned."

After hearing Chu Wang's answer, Little Yun's expression became even uglier. She looked at Chu Wang with an ice-cold expression, as if she wanted to kill him.

"Where did you get that jade bracelet?" Nanhai coldly looked at Chu Wang as he questioned him.

"My lord, that jade bracelet was picked up by this commoner from the ground." Chu Wang respectfully replied to the South Sea.

Lu Zhao couldn't help but look at Chu Wang, he didn't understand why Chu Wang would lie. He saw with his own eyes what Little Yun had given Chu Wang, and followed after her. Knowing that Chu Wang had pawned the jade bracelet, Lu Zhao didn't follow Chu Wang, but instead went to the pawnshop to redeem the Jade Bracelet Flower at a high price.

Xiao Yun, who was kneeling on the side, once again revealed a proud smile.

Seeing this, Zhining, who was standing aside, immediately walked up to Nanhai and whispered a few words into his ear. Nanhai lightly nodded his head after hearing this, and then ordered Lu Zhao, "Bring Chu Wang to the next hall."

Lu Zhao received the order, bent down, and dragged Chu Wang out of the torture chamber.

Zhining took out a handkerchief from her bosom, on it embroidered a beautiful crabapple blossom. ZhiNing took the handkerchief and walked in front of Little Yun, asking, "Do you recognize this handkerchief?"

Xiao Yun's expression changed again. Just as she was about to speak, Aunt Mei beat her to it.

Aunt Mei turned her head to look at the handkerchief in Zhining's hand, then snatched it into her hand to take a closer look, "I recognize this handkerchief. It belongs to Little Yun."

pomegranate and peony also looked at the handkerchief. They both nodded their heads at the same time. "This handkerchief really does belong to little Yun."

ZhiNing pulled the handkerchief out of Aunt Mei's hands, held it in front of Little Yun's eyes and asked coldly, "This handkerchief, is it really yours?"

Little Yun glanced at the handkerchief and reluctantly admitted, "Yes, this handkerchief is indeed mine."

"How many of these do you have?"

"That's all."

"Then why is this handkerchief in the hands of the pawnbroker?" ZhiNing questioned Little Yun once again.

Little Yun lowered her head and thought for a moment, then raised her head to look at Zhining, "That's because I was short on silver, so I took some of my jewelry and pawned it. Maybe I accidentally dropped it in the pawnshop when I left."

"What time did it fall at the pawnshop? Which pawnshop did it fall at this time?" ZhiNing asked Little Yun.

Little Yun thought for a moment before replying, "Three days ago, at the pawnshop in the west side of the city."

Zhining turned her head to the Southern Ocean and slightly nodded. He then placed the handkerchief in his hand on the table in front of Salt Sea City. Hai Yang immediately understood what Zhining intended to do. He looked at the entrance of the Discipline Hall and said, "Pass on Chu Wang and Lu Zhao's orders."

Lu Zhao and Chu Wang walked into the hall side by side. Lu Zhao stood on the main hall, while Chu Wang knelt on the floor. The two of them bowed to Southern Ocean, "Lu Zhao (commoner Chu Wang) greets the lord."

"Chuwan, I ask you, do you recognize this handkerchief?" Nanhai picked up the handkerchief that Zhining had placed on the table and asked Chu Wang.

Chu Wang looked up at the handkerchief in Nanhai's hands, then shook his head, "I don't."

"Are you sure?" Southern Ocean's voice was mixed with anger.

"This commoner has indeed never seen this handkerchief." Chu Wang answered the Southern Ocean firmly.

Nanhai heavily smacked the wood and ordered, "Men, bring the pawnshop owner to the hall."

The pawnshop owner, dressed in a dark blue coat, slowly walked to the Discipline Hall and knelt on the ground as he bowed to the Southern Ocean. "This humble one greets sire, Song Pu."

"Song Pu, do you recognize the handkerchief in Chu Wang's and this official's hands?" Nanhai asked Song Pu, holding a handkerchief.

Song Pu raised his head and looked at the handkerchief in Nanhai's hand. It was probably because it was slightly far away, so he was unable to see it clearly.

ZhiNing took a step forward and brought the handkerchief from Southern Ocean to Song Pu, so that he could clearly see the handkerchief.

Song Pu carefully examined the handkerchief and respectfully replied, "Reporting to my lord, this humble one recognizes this handkerchief. He also recognized Chu Wang. This handkerchief was something that Chu Wang had forgotten to take with him when he was duping the jade bracelet. "

Nanhai's expression was ice-cold as he looked at Song Pu, "Since you know Chu Wang, then point out who in the hall is Chu Wang!"

Song Pu looked around and then his gaze landed on Chu Wang. He pointed at Chu Wang and said, "This is Chu Wang. He was the one who pawned the jade bracelet in my pawnshop."

"Chu Wang, do you recognize this handkerchief?" Nanhai coldly questioned Chu Wang.

"Milord, this handkerchief is wrapped with a jade bracelet. This subject naturally recognizes it." Chu Wang looked at the handkerchief in front of him and answered.

"Have you looked carefully?" Nanhai coldly looked at Chu Wang and asked.

Chu Wang pretended to carefully look at the handkerchief, then vigorously nodded his head, "This humble one has looked very carefully, this handkerchief was picked up by this humble one from the ground. When this humble one picked up the handkerchief, he discovered that there was a jade bracelet inside."

"Little Yun, what else do you have to say for yourself?" Nanhai coldly questioned Little Yun, everyone present had heard what she said in front of everyone, and it was impossible for her to deny it even if she wanted to!
