Xue Baochai gave an order, and several subordinates of the Imperial City Secretary surrounded him. Lu Wushuang changed his face and finally gave up his resistance: "Okay, I will go with you. As the saying goes, the Qing Dynasty will clear itself, and the Lu family will not let you be wronged." mine."
Song Qingshu frowned slightly in the dark, he could hear Lu Wushuang hinting that he should not come forward, after all, there would be a lot of trouble if his identity was leaked.
He knew that Lu Wushuang had always been reckless, but now he was so considerate and thoughtful of himself, he couldn't help being moved.
At this moment, the people from the Kung Fu Imperial City Department had already taken Lu Wushuang away, and other people in Lu's mansion also got the news, and they were filled with righteous indignation, and they wanted to go to the guard of Shanyin City to discuss an explanation.
Naturally, Song Qingshu didn't join them in the fun, but secretly pondered that it would not be difficult to save Lu Wushuang, some secret agents of the Imperial City Division would not be able to trouble him, but what would be difficult was what to do afterwards.
If Lu Wushuang is rescued by force, wouldn't it confirm her suspicion, and she will be wanted by the court all over the country, and she will have a home and cannot return as a little girl, so she can only live in the dark in hiding
"The key is how to clear her of the suspicion." Song Qingshu was thoughtful, and soon came up with a plan.
Besides, Xue Baochai brought Lu Wushuang back to the stronghold of Huangcheng Division in Shanyin, and immediately interrogated her: "Did you and your cousin go to Shenyuan that night?"
Lu Wushuang opened his mouth, but suddenly thought that if he confessed, would there be a series of troubles
As if guessing what she was thinking, Xue Baochai snorted coldly: "You don't have to deny it, we have found witnesses to confirm that you did go to Shen Yuan that night."
Lu Wushuang raised his chin, and said angrily: "You still ask if you know? Yes, we went to Shenyuan that night, because Bi Jun is our good friend. This time she disappeared, so we went to Shenyuan specially to find her. Some clues."
"Looking for clues?" Xue Baochai was noncommittal to her answer, "Then why did you disappear when the city police arrived?"
Lu Wushuang explained: "We were just worried that meeting the police would cause unnecessary trouble, so we deliberately avoided them." She didn't want to involve Song Qingshu, so she simply ignored some information.
"But you didn't return to Lu's residence that night," Xue Baochai folded his arms and walked around her to examine her non-stop. "According to the memories of the city guards, you two returned to the city early the next morning. I sent someone to ask The servant girl in Lu's mansion also confirmed that you didn't go back that night. Say, why did you leave the city?"
"We..." Lu Wushuang was at a loss for words for a while, and suddenly thought of the scene in the stream that night, and replied with a flash of inspiration, "We went out of the city to take a bath."
"Bath?" Xue Baochai's eyes became sharper. "I just found out that my good friend's family was exterminated. Not only did you not report it to the government, but you also took a bath in the mood? I'm afraid it was stained with blood and went out of the city to destroy the evidence."
"Nonsense!" Lu Wushuang became anxious immediately, "I told you, we are friends with Bijun, how could we hurt her family."
"Maybe you guys approached Ms. Shen on purpose and made friends with her because of the secret of Yuanyangdao." The suspicion in Xue Baochai's eyes became more and more serious, "Is it possible that Ms. Shen's disappearance has something to do with you?"
Because Shen Bijun is the prospective concubine, the pressure on the Imperial City Department is very high, but the case has not made any progress. Now that he has finally found a clue, how can he not give up
"Don't spout blood, don't try to wrong a good person because you can't solve the case yourself." Lu Wushuang has always been very tricky, and couldn't help retorting.
"Injustice?" Xue Baochai snorted, "We found out that after your sisters entered the city, they went to an inn in the east of the city to take some things as a salute. According to the innkeeper's statement, those things were left by a man and a woman. Are they yours? partner?"
Lu Wushuang was secretly startled, she didn't expect her investigation to be so thorough, and even found out that they went back to the inn to pick up the salute for Song Qingshu and Huang Rong.
Xue Baochai leaned in front of her, and pressed her step by step: "Did you guys join forces to create the Shen family's massacre, and then you sent them out of the city, and then came back to clear the evidence for them?"
Seeing more and more flaws, Lu Wushuang suddenly panicked, and subconsciously replied: "We are also victims, okay? When we arrived at Shen Yuan that day, the murderer just came out. We were defeated, and that man took us down." Fortunately, we heard that the police were coming, and the murderer ran away in a hurry, our sisters were poisoned and were about to die, but our friends rescued us, so we left the city."
Although she was flustered, she was also a little clever, telling the truth about the situation at that time.
Xue Baochai was really moved: "You said you saw the murderer? What does the murderer look like?"
"The murderer was wearing a mask, so he couldn't see his face. He was about thirty or forty years old, and he was tall..." Lu Wushuang recalled while describing.
Xue Baochai hurriedly ordered his subordinates: "Write it all down!"
Hearing that Lu Wushuang had finished his description, Xue Baochai suddenly asked, "What kind of poison is in you?" Based on her experience in the Imperial City Department, she knew that if a person lied, many details would definitely go wrong.
"I was poisoned by Jiujiu Pill, and my cousin was poisoned by Raging Fire Pill." Lu Wushuang replied without hesitation.
"It seems to be the poison from Chivalrous Island." A secret agent next to Xue Baochai whispered. Although Chivalrous Island is mysterious, the Imperial City Department is a national spy agency, and more or less knows some information about Chivalrous Island.
Xue Baochai raised her eyebrows. At this moment, she believed it most of the time. After all, Lu Wushuang, a wealthy lady, would not know anything about the Knights Island if she hadn't experienced it herself.
"But as far as I know, Jiujiu Pill and Liehuo Pill are extremely poisonous, how did you survive?" Xue Baochai continued to ask.
"It was said that our friends saved us, so we returned to the city the next day." Lu Wushuang replied.
"What's your friend's name, and why can you cure these two strange poisons?" Xue Baochai thought to herself that if she was infected with either of these two poisons, she might not be able to force the poison out.
Lu Wushuang snorted: "My cousin's master is the well-known Dongxiehuang pharmacist, who is best at alchemy and medicine. The friends she knows are also experts in this field. What's so special about detoxification?"
Xue Baochai also investigated Cheng Ying's background and knew that she was Huang Yaoshi's closed disciple, so she agreed with Lu Wushuang's words to some extent, but she was not prepared to let him go so easily: "You haven't said what the hell your two friends are. Who is it, we will go to them to check whether what you said is true."
Lu Wushuang was startled, and hurriedly said: "They have important matters to attend to, and I promised not to disclose their information."
Xue Baochai still wanted to ask, but suddenly a spy broke in from outside the door and reported: "Report, a masked man appeared over Shen Yuan, who seems to be looking for something." Anshao, originally just went through a process, did not expect the murderer to revisit the old place, but did not expect to have a surprise now.
Xue Baochai stood up instantly: "Did you alarm him?"
The spy replied: "No, everything is observed in secret according to the instructions of the adults."
"Okay, everyone come with me!" Xue Baochai waved his hand, and quickly rushed towards Shen Yuan with the secret agents of the imperial city, leaving Lu Wushuang alone.
"What are the characteristics of that masked man?" Xue Baochai asked the former subordinate as he rushed to Shen Yuan.
"Wearing a mask, with a slender figure, about thirty or forty years old..." Following the spy's description, Xue Baochai became more and more startled, because it was exactly the same as what Lu Wushuang mentioned.
"Everyone keep up, this time we must not let the other party run away!" Xue Baochai's eyes flashed with excitement. The murderer's fox tail finally showed in the Shen family case that he had been investigating.
Fortunately, the secret base of the Imperial City Division was not too far away from Shen Yuan, and soon a group of people rushed to Shen Yuan. The masked man obviously realized that something was wrong, and fled outside quickly, just in time to bump into Xue Baochai and his party.
"Take it down for me!" Xue Baochai was excited in his heart, but he commanded it in an orderly manner. The secret agents of the Imperial City Secretary arranged and sealed off all the escape routes of the opponent.
The crossbows of the Song Dynasty were unrivaled in the world, and the crossbows used by the Imperial City Division were even better. A group of people pointed their crossbows at each other like this, making it difficult for the enemy to fly.
"Hurry up and capture it with your arms tied, and you can save your life!" As long as Xue Baochai lowered his half-raised hand, the bow and crossbow would shoot ten thousand arrows.
The masked man snorted coldly, and disappeared in the center in a flash. Everyone saw him the next moment and found that he had jumped out of the encirclement of the crossbowmen.
"How is it possible!" This was not only Xue Baochai, but also the common voice of all the secret agents of the Imperial City Division present. Could it be that they were dazzled just now
The masked man didn't stop at all, and quickly attacked the crossbowmen from behind to prevent them from forming a siege again. At such a short distance, the crossbows in their hands became a burden instead, and screams kept ringing out. A large piece fell in an instant.
Surprised and angry, Xue Baochai drew out her dagger and stabbed at the man with a coquettish cry, giving her men finally a chance to breathe and start to regroup the offensive.
The two sides exchanged dozens of moves in an instant, and Xue Baochai became more and more frightened as she fought more and more. If not for the help of many imperial masters beside her, she might have lost the match.
"Sure enough, he's from Chivalrous Island!" Xue Baochai recalled a file about Chivalrous Island that he had seen occasionally before, and recognized the other party's martial arts skills.
But just so distracted, the other party bullied her over in an instant, Xue Baochai was startled and hurriedly backed away, but unfortunately it was already too late, and the other party went around her back and stuck her neck in an instant.
"Little beauty, tell them to stop." The masked man said in a low voice.
Unexpectedly, a flash of determination flashed in Xue Baochai's eyes, the sword in his hand was turned upside down and stabbed into his lower abdomen, trying to die with the opponent, it can be seen that this posture is similar to the Wudang School's Tiandi Tongshou.
"I'll go!" The masked man obviously didn't expect her to make this move, he hastily stretched out his hand and clamped the sword when the tip of the sword was only one centimeter away from Xue Baochai's lower abdomen.
This masked man is naturally Song Qingshu. In order to get rid of Lu Wushuang's suspicion, he simply pretended to be the murderer that night and appeared in Shenyuan. It was brought in as planned.
But he didn't expect Xue Baochai to be so decisive that she almost died in his arms, that would be a serious crime.
Song Qingshu was about to say something, when a warning sign suddenly appeared in his heart, and an extremely sharp sword energy pierced his back.
