Reborn from the ashes: The Fifth Miss Devil

Cao Yan looked at Wang Er again, and said coldly: "Wang Er, I want to ask you, who can prove that you dug out that stone? You didn't forge it yourself?".

"Back to the Elder, Caomin was digging a well in his yard at that time. Caomin lived alone, and he was alone when he was digging the well, so no one saw him." Wang Er replied with a look of panic.

"Are you teasing me?" Cao Yan slapped the gavel and said sharply.

"My lord, please spare my life. My lord, please forgive my life. No one else saw it. At that time, the grass people didn't know that there would be written on the stone... If it was written like that..., if they knew, the grass people would definitely bury it quietly and don't give it away randomly. Someone else saw it." Wang Er knelt on the ground and shouted in fear, kowtowing continuously while shouting.

At this moment, suddenly, someone let out an exclamation.

Everyone followed the sound and found that it was the yamen servant holding the tray. He was looking at the tray in surprise, and there were no stones on the tray, only a pile of gravel.

"What's going on?!" Cao Yan, Prime Minister Fu and King Yan asked in shock at the same time.

"The little one doesn't know either." The yamen servant showed a terrified expression on his face, knelt down with a plop, and said in a panic, "After His Royal Highness Yan Wang inspected it, the little one was just about to put it back, but when he turned around, the stone disappeared. Crushed to powder."

Everyone present was completely dumbfounded.

After being dazed for a moment, Cao Yan looked at Fu Chengxiang and Yan Wang at a loss, and asked them what to do next.

Prime Minister Fu pondered for a moment, then quickly came out of the decision, and ordered in a cold voice: "...Cao Shangshu, this matter should not be publicized. Now, control the people present first, and make a decision after the truth is found out."

"Yes, Prime Minister." Cao Yan responded quickly.

"Come here, take Wang Er and his fellow countrymen into the prison and put them under strict supervision. Also, those present, today's events must not be rumored or discussed in private. Violators will be severely punished."

"Yes, my lord." All the yamen servants responded quickly.

However, before Cao Yan and others figured out the reason why the stone turned into powder, something happened again.

In the early morning, Cao Yan's mansion.

Cao Yan, who had had a headache all day, had just fallen asleep when he was woken up by the cell boss.

"My lord, it's too bad, Wang Er is dead in prison." The prison chief shouted in panic when he saw Cao Yan.

At that time, Cao Yan, who had just woken up from his sleep and was still in a daze, was completely awakened in an instant.

"Let me tell you about the work, go to the prison with me." Cao Yan said as he walked out.

After rushing to the prison, Wu Zuo carefully examined Wang Er, but the cause of death was not found out, and he was neither sick nor injured, nor poisoned.

Hearing Wuzuo's report, Cao Yan's legs felt weak all of a sudden, and the development of the matter was more and more beyond his imagination.

Standing blankly at the door of Wang Er's prison for a long time, Cao Yan's expression finally regained a little composure, then he turned around and walked out, while walking, he ordered: "Prepare the sedan chair. The officer is going out."

After leaving the prison of the Ministry of Justice, Cao Yan got into the sedan chair and hurried to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

At this time, the dawn had not yet come, and the whole world was gray.

When Cao Yan arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister Fu hadn't gotten up yet.

Seeing Cao Yan's serious expression, the servant of the prime minister's mansion must have something urgent to rush over at this time, so he didn't dare to neglect, so he hurried to report to his master.
