Chapter 1545 - 1544: I Believe in the Prime Minister Left
Bei Yun raised his eyebrows upon hearing this but said no more.
With his silence, the interrogation of those from the Yu Residence began.
The people from the Yu Residence were unaware of what had transpired, only knowing that the treasures of the residence had gone missing. To clear their own names, they detailed the events of when Yu Ang appraised the treasures with exceptional clarity.
Their expressions did not seem feigned.
Upon seeing this, Qiao Xiaomai’s doubts only deepened, and she couldn’t help but glance at Bei Yun.
Bei Yun snorted, "What was appraised by the minister back then was a fake, just like the Segments. The minister harbored ambitions to rise to the heavens in a single step as well."
This statement caused Yu Ang, who had just calmed down, to shake with anger, his beard trembling, "Whether the family heirloom is a fake or not, I surely know! Do not throw dirt on me!"
"Miss Qiao, he is a malicious ghost who has killed tens of thousands of innocent people. How can you believe his words?!"
"My words may not be credible, but at least when it comes to the Ascension of Jiufeng, I did not lie; indeed, that artifact is not in your residence," Bei Yun retorted, cracking sunflower seeds and smiling.
"It might have been stolen. I think it was you who stole it!" Yu Ang exclaimed angrily.
"Eh, honorable minister, you can eat food carelessly, but you can’t speak carelessly," Bei Yun replied, sitting up straight, his smile fading, "It was clearly your grandson who used the treasure as a down payment and sent it away. What does that have to do with me?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Ang immediately turned to Yu Zizhou, "Zizhou, swear on my life, have you ever tampered with the treasure?!"
