When Gu Qiang saw such a persistent person in front of her, she couldn't help but panic, and her brain was running rapidly.
"Master Rong, actually I was caught by them on purpose, just to find out who wanted to harm me. I understand Master Rong's wishes."
She looked around and whispered to Rong Lian.
The words of the woman in front of him made Rong Lian a little suspicious. Although he liked Gu Qiang, Gu Qiang's sudden change of attitude still made him unable to believe her words.
"If this is the case, then wouldn't I ruin your plan?"
Gu Qiang shook his head and said, "Master Rong also has good intentions, please go back."
After talking about this, Rong Lian couldn't take her out anymore, but he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Seeing Rong Lian leaving, Gu Qiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Now she could only wait for Shen Qianshan and the others to rescue her. They must have received the news and arrived quickly.
It was already dark by the time Shen Qianshan and the others rushed back.
When Shen Qianshan came back and heard that Gu Qiang was taken away, he couldn't help but feel worried, and the look on his face became more solemn.
After listening to Gusu Liang's incomplete description, I felt bad.
What he has to do now is to find Gu Qiang to find out what happened so that he can find a way to save her.
"I will go to the cell first to ask her about her specific situation."
In prison, Gu Qiang could not figure out who wanted to harm her.
"Second Young Master, someone is here to see you." The cell leader treated her very respectfully.
Gu Qiang heard someone coming to see her, turned around and looked over, saw it was Shen Qianshan, and stood up quickly.
"You're back, is everything going well?"
At this time, Gu Qiang's first question was still asking about his affairs, and Shen Qianshan couldn't help but feel a little soft in his heart.
"Yeah." He responded softly.
He looked at her carefully, and when he saw that she was fine, he asked, "Do you have any clue about what happened today?"
Gu Qiang shook his head.
"Today I saw some gangsters beating a beggar, so I paid to stop their beating. Unexpectedly, someone saw that I paid for the murder."
Everything was too coincidental. No one watched when the beggar was beaten, but someone saw her giving money. This happened when Shen Qianshan and the others were not around.
This had to make the two of them suspicious.
"You stay here for two days, and I will definitely help you find out and rescue you."
Gu Qiang has always trusted Shen Qianshan, and she has no doubts about his promise to rescue her.
"You first go find the people who beat me. I think you can get some information from their mouths."
"good."
After answering, Shen Qianshan reluctantly left the cell.
Since then, Shen Qianshan has been investigating this matter, and would check on Gu Qiang from time to time to prevent her from being harmed.
On the third day, Gu Qiang was sitting in the prison in a daze. He heard a sound outside and looked over.
It was okay not to look at it, but it really shocked her when she saw it.
Shen Ruxue was seen rushing towards her. When he saw her, he asked worriedly: "Second Young Master, did they bully you?"
At this time, Gu Qiang only felt that one was bigger than the other. She had already clearly rejected the princess, so why did she come to trouble her again
"Thank you for your concern, princess. The civilians are doing well."
Shen Ruxue could see Gu Qiang's attitude towards her. Although she was a little angry, she was even more worried about her, but she couldn't save her so easily.
"Second Young Master, if you agree to my princess's request to marry me, then you will be able to come out naturally. If Second Young Master is willing, I will immediately tell my father to let you go."
Gu Qiang had never thought about going out. Shen Ruxue's request seemed to her superfluous, so she refused without hesitation.
"Thank you for your kindness, Princess. Cao Min believes that he is innocent. Regarding the matter of marrying the princess, Cao Min has already said that Cao Min has a low status and is not worthy of the princess."
At this time, Gu Qiang still rejected her, which made Shen Ruxue even more angry.
She clenched her teeth and said with a ferocious face, "Then Princess, I will beat you until you are willing."
"Come here, take this person away for me."
The prison chief on the side listened to her words and didn't know what to do for a moment. Behind the Second Young Master of Gusu was the Ninth Prince. Master Rong had previously ordered not to torture him. Now the princess wanted to torture him. What should he do
Although Gu Qiang was angry when he saw her posture, he also knew that he would inevitably be beaten. Before, she didn't dare to do anything to her because of her status. Now that she is a prisoner, someone will definitely come to find her unhappy. .
Seeing that the prison boss didn't move for a long time, Shen Ruxue turned to him and said angrily: "You don't even want to listen to this princess. Don't you want your head?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the cell leader immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Princess, please spare your life. It's not that you guys are listening. It's because the Ninth Prince ordered us not to torture the second young master."
After hearing that it was Shen Qianshan's order, Shen Ruxue still felt a little wary and hesitated whether to torture Gu Qiang.
"Princess, if Gu Suran doesn't marry you, you will marry Zhou Ziyuan."
The gentle reminder from a maid on the side made Shen Ruxue dispel the fear in her heart. No, she couldn't marry Zhou Ziyuan. She didn't want to marry someone she had never met, let alone someone like that.
She also thought about Gu Qiang's rejection of her several times, which made her lose face.
Suddenly, she became angry and lost her mind.
"So what about the Ninth Prince? This princess just doesn't like buying/murdering people, so she wants to interrogate her personally."
Shen Ruxue's words made the prison warden break into a cold sweat. If the second son of Gusu was really tortured, just thinking about this scene would make him feel like half of his feet had stepped into the coffin.
"Yes." He responded tremblingly.
Seeing this, Shen Ruxue snorted coldly and went to the place of torture to wait.
The cell leader quickly asked his companions to inform Shen Qianshan.
Looking at Shen Ruxue's leaving figure, Gu Qiang was puzzled. No matter how hard she tried, she had never done such a radical move. Why would she do this this time
Furthermore, she had never seen the maid next to Shen Ruxue. She had seen Shen Ruxue's expression after mentioning Shen Qianshan just now. What did the maid say to her that made her attitude change? Even Shen Qianshan isn't afraid anymore
Just as he was thinking about it, the cell leader opened the door and came in.
"Second Young Master, can you please beg the Ninth Prince later and ask him to spare us? We can't stop you from being tortured. It's the princess who insists on being tortured, so we can't..."
"I know." Before he finished speaking, Gu Qiang interrupted him, "The Ninth Prince will not blame you when he comes."
When the cell leader heard this, he was very grateful and said, "Thank you, Second Young Master. Thank you, Second Young Master."
"let's go."
The prison boss brought Gu Qiang to the execution room. Shen Ruxue was already sitting inside. Seeing them walking over slowly, he couldn't help scolding them: "Why are you so slow? Why don't you hurry up?"
"Yes, yes, yes." The prison head responded repeatedly, giving Gu Qiang a symbolic push.
Shen Ruxue looked at Gu Qiang, hoping that Gu Qiang would surrender to her, but she saw Gu Qiang walking to the torture rack with her head held high, without even looking at her.
She became even more angry. Could it be that Gu Suran didn't even want to look at her
Gu Qiang's limbs were tied to the torture frame, and Shen Ruxue ordered someone to torture him.
The torture leader held the whip in his hand as if he were holding a hot potato, and it was either a matter of beating or not.
"What? Can't you hear what this princess said?" Shen Ruxue said angrily.
The cell leader quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, "Princess, please spare my life, little one. I really don't dare to hit you."
Shen Ruxue was immediately furious. She walked forward, grabbed the whip from the man's hand and was about to hit him.
Seeing the whip swinging, Gu Qiang closed her eyes and accepted the pain of the whipping calmly.
"stop."
When Shen Qianshan arrived, he happened to see Shen Ruxue beating Gu Qiang with a whip. He felt nervous and hurriedly stopped him.
Shen Ruxue was startled by his voice. The strength in her hand was greatly weakened, but the whip still hit Gu Qiang's body.
Seeing the whip fall, Shen Qianshan had the intention of killing Shen Ruxue. He quickly walked up to her and knocked her away with a palm, carefully checking Gu Qiang's injuries.
"Are you okay?" he asked worriedly.
Gu Qiang shook his head, maybe it was just a bit of skin damage, nothing serious.
Shen Ruxue, who was knocked out, fainted on the spot because she couldn't bear the palm.
"What should she do?" Gu Qiang asked, pointing to Shen Ruxue who fainted.
Shen Qianshan's eyes were full of disgust, and he said to the cell leader on the side: "Take this person back. No one can interrogate Gu Suran privately without my permission in the future."
"yes."
"How is the investigation going?" Gu Qiang asked.
Now she has to get rid of the suspicion as soon as possible, otherwise she will be killed again by someone with ulterior motives. Today's Shen Ruxue is an example. The longer she stays here, the more potential danger she will have.
"Those people are all dead. There are four people in a ruined temple."
Shen Qianshan's brows furrowed when he thought of what he had found out early this morning. It seemed that someone had framed him and framed the murder, and they didn't know what that person's purpose was.
"What!"
If those people were all dead, wouldn't her charge be confirmed? Then she would definitely be charged with purchasing/murdering.
Gu Qiang thought about what happened that day in detail, and suddenly thought of something.
"There were five people that day, not four."
Her words revived hope for both of them.
"Then I'll find that person as soon as possible."
When Shen Qianshan left, Gu Qiang suddenly thought of the maid who was Shen Ruxue today, and told him about Shen Ruxue's changes today.
After listening, Shen Qianshan also felt that the maid was very suspicious.
"This is the best medicine for golden sores. Take good care of yourself."
Although he really wanted to bring Gu Qiang out directly, he didn't want her reputation to become bad, so he could only endure the grievances he made her for a few days.
Gu Qiang touched the whip marks on her body, and a sweet feeling came out of her heart.
After Shen Ruxue went back, the maid next to her did not go back with her.
