"Wow! The murderer has been caught!" Fu Ling exclaimed in surprise, and seeing Qin Wan's expression darkened, she couldn't help saying, "What's the matter, miss, shouldn't you be happy that the eldest son of the Wei family has been caught?"
Qin Wan held the letter tightly, and slowly turned around and walked towards the main room. As he walked, his brows were tightly knit together again.
After walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped, "No."
Fu Ling looked at Qin Wan worriedly, "What did Miss think? What's wrong?"
Qin Wan shook his head, and there was two points of determination between his brows, "Go, go and tell the porter to prepare a carriage."
Fu Ling was surprised, "Miss is going out?"
Qin Wan nodded, "Well, I'm going out, hurry up."
Fu Ling was set by Qin Guan's awe-inspiring expression, she nodded and ran out, while Xiang Wantao had already come out of the orchid garden with a charcoal basin, locked the courtyard door, and stood not far away with an awe-inspiring face, Qin Wan didn't care about her at all right now, so he just read the letter again.
Soon, Fu Ling returned, "Miss, I ordered you to go on, should you go out now?"
Qin Wan nodded, and went out of the courtyard without even entering the house.
After leaving the yard, Qin Wan went straight to the west door. When he got to the door, he saw a carriage parked outside.
Qin Wan pondered for a while, "We will drive by ourselves."
Fu Ling rolled her eyes. Over the past few days, she has also grown a lot, so she naturally understood Qin Wan's meaning, "Okay, the servants are here to drive, but they are not as stable as the white guards."
Qin Wan looked at Fu Ling's body, although he was a little worried, he could only nod first.
The carriage is an ordinary lacquered carriage, and it still looks brand new on the outside. Qin Wan got on the carriage, and Fu Ling sat on the shaft, "Miss, you can sit still, the servant used to drive the carriage, but now the baby is born..."
Qin Wan said quickly, "Just wait a little longer, go to the yamen."
Fu Ling froze for a moment, she didn't expect Qin Wan to go to the Yamen, she thought about it, and then waved the whip.
"The servant knows where the yamen is!"
The carriage started slowly. It was indeed not as stable as Bai Feng's driving, and the speed was much slower. However, this was nothing to Qin Wan. In the carriage, Qin Wan's face was very dark.
Wei Qizhi was caught, but today's trip to the Hou Mansion made her feel even more weird.
Wei Yanzhi's illness, the dirt on the iron tongs, everything happened as expected, but Qin Wan still felt something was wrong.
Fu Ling drove with all her strength. After all, she had learned how to drive a car before and became proficient after stumbling for half a distance. It's just that she was weak after all, and the carriage was much slower than Bai Feng's. However, Qin was sitting in the car. Wan, she doesn't dare to be greedy.
Walking slowly all the way like this, we still arrived in front of the Yamen.
"Miss, here we are, what are we doing here?"
Qin Wan lifted the curtain of the car, "Go and tell the servants of the government office that you are here to find Xu Wu for work, and that we are from the Hou family."
Fu Ling nodded, and restrained her description.
Qin Guan sat quietly in the carriage and waited. It wasn't that she wanted to borrow the name of the Hou's Mansion, but this was the magistrate's yamen. If it wasn't the Hou's Mansion, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to see Xu He so soon.
Fuling left quickly, and came back quickly, "Miss, the big brother of the Yacha went in to find Xu Wuzuo, let us wait for a while, Miss, is there any problem with that letter? Why are you in such a hurry to see Xu Wuzuo?"
It is normal for Fu Ling to ask such a question. Qin Wan thought for a while and said, "I still have some doubts about this case. Although Mr. Wei has been arrested now, it is not possible to conclude that he must be the murderer right now."
Fu Ling's eyes widened upon hearing this, "What? Isn't Mr. Wei the murderer?"
Qin Wan didn't nod or shake her head, "It's too early to make a judgment now."
Fu Ling pursed her lips and didn't say any more. Since she fell into the lake, her young lady has changed more and more. Now, she can't imagine what her young lady is thinking, so she still doesn't want to talk too much. Ask as well.
A moment later, Xu He strode out from the gate of the government office.
As soon as he saw Fu Ling, Xu He knew that it was Qin Wan who came, and he trotted all the way over, "Why is Nine Girls here?"
As he spoke, he bowed to the carriage, and took another step forward, "Did Miss Nine see the letter?"
Qin Wan had already lifted the curtain of the car window, she nodded, "I saw the letter, and that's why I came here." Qin Wan said and glanced at the main gate of the yamen, "What happened to the eldest son of the Wei family being arrested?" living?"
At this point in the question, Xu He's eyes lit up and he said, "Just as the nine girls said, the villain and the magistrate went to Yizhuang yesterday, and there was no autopsy when they went there. They just stayed there for a while, and then Then we came out, and we didn't find anyone following us at that time, but just now, the villain went out from the yamen and took the villain's box to the street to eat noodles. It was the same place as that day, and sure enough, someone came to grab the villain's box , the magistrate had already sent Catcher Lin to follow the villain, and he took him down."
Qin Wan narrowed his eyes, "Did he have a leg injury?"
Xu He nodded, "Exactly, his left calf was broken, and he was still covered with medicine. Although he is a Lianjiazi, he couldn't stand the crowd of arresters, so he was arrested immediately. Now He has already entered the prison, and the prefect is interrogating him!"
After a pause, Xu He looked at Qin Wan and said, "Miss Nine came to the government office just to know about this?"
Qin Wan's eyes were deep, looking at Xu He but he didn't know how to speak, so he said in silence, "If the eldest son of the Wei family refuses to admit it, does the magistrate intend to use torture? Also, did he come alone or with someone?"
Xu He thought for a while, "Severe punishments are usually not used, but this case is a murder case, and it is a very important case. If... If Mr. Wei doesn't explain it well, I'm afraid that torture will be used. The villain doesn't know yet. He came alone or with someone, but the villain looked at him and looked very haggard, as if he hadn't changed his clothes for several days, most likely he didn't bring many people with him, and the magistrate is currently interrogating, The rest will not be known until the magistrate comes out."
Qin Wan knew the rules of the yamen, so it was natural that no one else could be present during the interrogation of such an important case.
Qin Wan nodded, Xu He suddenly hesitated and said, "Does Nine Girls have any ideas and it's not convenient to say it? Does Nine Girls think there are any doubts in this case?"
Qin Wan trusted Xu He, "I do have some doubts, but I can wait for the magistrate to interrogate them. Although I got caught, the case will not be closed for a while. Let's talk about it later."
Xu He nodded, "After the trial of this case is over, the magistrate will definitely tell the Hou Mansion and Jiu Girl about the confession before and after."
Qin Wan nodded, "Okay, there's nothing else to do, you can go get busy."
Xu He cupped his fists again, then turned and left.
Fu Ling watched Xu He leave, and looked at Qin Wan suspiciously, "Miss, where are we going now?"
Qin Wan lowered her eyes, and the whole body was covered with a layer of solemn and depressing haze. She said in a sonic voice, "Go home."
Fu Ling responded, and drove back to the residence without any hurry.
In the carriage compartment, Qin Wan's expression turned pale. She rushed over in such a hurry. She couldn't explain why. Wei Qizhi had just been arrested, and the confession hadn't come out yet, and she had a faint feeling that she had missed something. What, but she can't remember, she has no direction at this moment, but Wei Qizhi's statement hasn't come out yet, so she has no choice but to wait.
Although this case has nothing to do with her, she provided many clues during the autopsy, and she also provided these clues, pointing the finger at Wei Qizhi. She felt uneasy if there were unresolved doubts, not to mention that her father had never had any unjust cases. I don't want any grievances in the case she handled. If it wasn't Wei Qizhi, would it be him
Qin Wan pondered all the way, and when the carriage returned to the Qin Mansion, the concierge was a little surprised.
Qin Wan went out quickly, and came back quickly. When she went out, she looked anxious, but when she came back, she was a little tired. Now Qin Wan is different from the past. When Qin Wan entered the door, the doormen did not dare to show their atmosphere.
Entering the mansion, going straight back to Tinglan Garden, Wan Tao and others in the yard did not expect Qin Wan to come back so quickly, Qin Wan entered the main room and then went to the small study room, grinding the papers, without saying a word, Fuling also did not say anything when she saw this. He didn't dare to ask more questions, but just made tea and waited aside.
Qin Wan would make a post whenever she was upset, so that she could calm down. She went to the Hou Mansion in the morning, and it was almost afternoon when she came back, and she went out again. It was not early in the morning. Night had fallen.
"Miss, it's getting dark, let's have dinner first."
Fu Ling's voice was concerned, Qin Wan thought for a while and put down his pen.
Dinner was also very simple, Fu Ling said while serving Qin Wan dishes, "What's the matter, Miss? I haven't seen Miss writing for so long."
Qin Wan chewed and finished eating slowly, and then said, "There are still many doubts in this case, I can't figure it out for a while, and now I have to wait until tomorrow to see if I can see the statement from the eldest son of the Wei family."
"But Mr. Wei said that the one who has an affair with Miss Song is the eldest son of the Wei family, and only the eldest son of the Wei family is left-handed." Fu Ling thought about it carefully, and looked at Qin Wan blankly.
Qin Wan rinsed his mouth, then walked to Nuan Pavilion, "What if Mr. Wei lied?"
Fu Ling said in surprise, "Young Master Wei is lying? It doesn't look like..."
Qin Wan sat down and took a book in his hand, "There are thousands of kinds of people in this world, and there is a kind of people who are very good at covering up and disguising. Even if they lie, others can't see it. Of course, I just give a It’s just an example. There are still variables in this case, unless the eldest son of the Wei family can explain all the details, if I can’t think of it right now, it doesn’t mean that others can’t think of it, maybe he used a very clever method.”
"As for the left-handed people you mentioned..." Qin Wan said, Yan Chi's figure flashed in his mind, "There are indeed people in this world who can use both hands. Such people will be smarter than ordinary people. It is possible that in Song Dynasty Among the guards of the family, there are people who can use the left hand, but use the right hand, and when committing crimes, they will use the left hand to cover up."
Fu Ling was startled when she heard that, "When the young lady said this, the servant immediately felt that everyone around him might be a bad person."
Qin Wan was noncommittal, "This may exist, but we still have to believe that there are more good people in this world."
Fu Ling nodded, and Qin Wan handed her a booklet, "Recognize the medicinal materials on it first, you may already recognize some of them, and you must remember the medicinal properties of these medicinal materials."
Fu Ling's eyes lit up, she knew that Qin Wan was going to teach her!
…
…
With something on her mind, Qin Wan didn't sleep well that night. Early the next morning, she got up early as usual and walked around the yard for a while. But Ning came to the door!
"You haven't finished your breakfast yet, did you know that Wei Qizhi was arrested?"
Yue Ning has been here twice, and she is very familiar with Qin Wan's small courtyard. In addition, she has a very close relationship with Qin Wan now, so she sat down very casually, took the tea from Fu Ling, and asked Qin Wan Guan.
Qin Wan nodded, "Understood, Xu Wuzuo came to tell me."
Yue Ning nodded, "I only found out about this last night, and I know you must be curious about how Wei Qizhi killed Song Rou, so I came to you early in the morning, let's go to the government office to have a look!"
Qin Wan put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped the corners of his lips, "To the government office?"
Yue Ning nodded, "Yes, go to the government office. The news sent last night said that Wei Qizhi hadn't confessed yet. Let's go today, and we will definitely hear the key points."
Qin Wan blinked, although the magistrate's office is an important place, but Yue Ning has the identity of the princess, it is not difficult to get in... Sure enough, it is still easy to do things with the identity!
Qin Wan wanted to know the details at first, and her status was naturally not good enough to go to the Yamen, so she didn't think about it, but Yue Ning came to the door, so she was naturally willing to go with Yue Ning. Then he changed his clothes and went out with Yue Ning, Qin Wan said as he walked, "It seems that something went wrong during the interrogation."
Yue Ning turned to look at her, "Huh? Why?"
Qin Wan said seriously, "Wei Qizhi was arrested yesterday afternoon. There were two hours from yesterday afternoon to evening. If Wei Qizhi confessed, then the news received by the Hou Mansion last night would not be like this. .”
"So Wei Qizhi must have refused to admit it?" Although Yue Ning's tone was doubtful, he said with certainty.
Qin Wan shook her head, "I don't know yet, let's go and have a look."
When the two of them went out, Yue Ning came in the carriage of the Marquis Mansion, so Qin Guan also took the carriage with her to go to the government office. As soon as the carriage moved, Yue Ning said, "You had a lot of doubts earlier, I'll go back After thinking about it, it is really hard to explain, just say that he pretended to be a ghost to frighten you, and the Hou Mansion is heavily guarded, how did he get in? And how did he get Song Rou's wedding dress!"
Yue Ning sighed, "I'm afraid we will only know about this if he tells it himself."
Qin Wan didn't answer, there is another possibility that the person pretending to be a ghost to scare her is not Wei Qizhi at all...
The driver on this trip was the coachman of the Hou Mansion, so the speed was naturally faster than Fu Ling's driving. Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of the mansion. Yue Ning and Qin Wan got off the car one after another. When they arrived at the door, the servants stepped forward, raised their hands and stopped Yue Ning and Qin Wan, followed by Yue Ning's green chess frown, "Do you dare to stop the little princesses of the Marquis of Anyang?"
The servants were stunned for a moment, ignored them, and hurriedly put their hands down. Several people knelt down to salute one after another, and one of them said, "Please wait a moment, the princess, and the villain will go in and report to the magistrate!"
Yue Ning nodded, and said "Yes". In front of unfamiliar people, Yue Ning was unsmiling, with a sassy and indifferent face, full of the air of a high-ranking princess. Qin Wan watched from behind her, and couldn't help but slightly bent his lips.
Soon, Huo Huaixin strode out to welcome him, "I don't know if the Princess is here, but Huo is far away..."
Although Yue Ning is a junior, Huo Huaixin has no choice but to respect her status.
Yue Ning was somewhat respectful to Huo Huaixin, "I'm sorry to bother you, the magistrate. I heard that you have captured the eldest son of the Wei family. I brought Nine Girls here this time, just to hear how the case has progressed. In the Guanhou Mansion, Nine Girls have contributed a lot to this case, I think your lord won't mind if you come here, right?"
Huo Huaixin stayed up most of the night, his face was full of stubble, and his eyes were black and blue. Hearing this, how could he dare to say anything more, not to mention the current situation, it might be a good thing that Qin Wan came. Huo Huaixin smiled loudly, and turned to invite, "That's natural, Princess please come in, Ninth Miss also invites—"
After entering the gate of the mansion, Huo Huaixin took Yue Ning and Qin Wan up the side corridor, and Huo Huaixin smiled wryly as he walked, "If the princess doesn't come, Huo will send someone to the Hou's mansion. I thought the case of Wei Qizhi was cleared up when we caught it, but...but who knew that Wei Qizhi was so stubborn!"
Huo Huaixin let out a long sigh, "Yesterday, after half the night of the interrogation, Huo didn't ask a single question!"
Yue Ning frowned, and Qin Wan's eyes flashed with seriousness, "Master Zhifu, what does Wei Qizhi say?"
While talking, a group of people passed the court, and after arriving at the inner secretary behind the court, Huo Huaixin stopped at the door of a reception hall, "The princess and the nine girls are precious, so there is no need to go to the prison, the case The confession and files will be delivered later, please, you two will stay here for a while."
Yue Ning and Qin Wan nodded, and after entering the door, Huo Huaixin said, "Then Wei Qizhi said that he did come to Jinzhou with Song Rou, but because he was injured, he was also in a carriage, not much faster than Song Rou. , and he set off three days later than Song Rou, and he did not catch up with him, and when he arrived at Shili Temple, Song Rou and the others were indeed in Shili Temple, but he said that he did not go to see Song Rou."
Huo Huaixin sneered, "The princess and the nine girls are trustworthy? He thought he was clear of suspicion, but he also leaked a great flaw. He was in Shili Temple at that time, and he was in the same place. The murderer was besides him. anyone?"
Qin Wan frowned, "Then what weapon did he use? Where did he hide Song Rou's head?"
Huo Huaixin smiled wryly, "Of course I couldn't find out, and the lower officials didn't figure it out. The only person who came with him was a young man named Wu Shu. They entered Jinzhou a day late, but they hadn't arrived in Jinzhou yet. Then they learned the news of Song Rou's murder, and after they came to Jinzhou, they lived in the Fulai Inn in the east of the city. Wu Shu had already been taken back, and he didn't say anything. They searched the inn, but found nothing. Huo felt that they must have erased all the evidence before entering Jinzhou City."
Yue Ning hurriedly asked, "What about pretending to be a ghost and entering the Marquis's mansion to scare people? And how about setting fire to the Yizhuang?"
Huo Huaixin shook his head, "I don't recognize anything! I was tortured in the middle of the night yesterday, but I still don't recognize it."
No wonder Huo Huaixin didn't let them go to the cell. Apart from the fact that the cell wasn't suitable for them to go to, I'm afraid it wouldn't be easy for them to see Wei Qizhi after being tortured. Qin Wan knew that interrogating suspects in the Yamen usually There are various methods. My father doesn't like severe torture to extract confessions, but when he encounters some vicious criminals, he can only use violence to control violence.
"Did he say, since they came to Jinzhou, why didn't they go to Wei Yanzhi?"
Qin Wan's tone was cold and serious, and Huo Huaixin was inexplicably refreshed when he heard her question, "He said, he said that he didn't go because he was afraid of ruining Song Rou's reputation. I asked the same thing as Wei Yanzhi said. He, he admitted, and, he was indeed left-handed in the past, and now he can use both left and right hands, and his legs were indeed broken by Song Guogong and his uncle... "
Qin Wan frowned suddenly, "Then did he explain his purpose for coming to Jinzhou this time?"
Huo Huaixin also frowned, and touched his chin unconsciously, "This also puzzles me, he said that he just came here to see what kind of family Song Rou married, and whether he would treat her harshly, He also said that she really wanted to see Song Rou, but there was no chance, there were too many escorts to marry, Song Rou as the bride was surrounded by everyone, he couldn't do anything."
"Of course this is made up. If you can't even see anyone, then you can kill someone and then take their head." Yue Ning embraced her arms, "This Wei Qizhi is also a son of Lianjia, and his temperament must be better than ordinary people. It is more tenacious, the prefect may have to spend a lot of effort, but it is just blindly using torture, and there is always a sense of torture."
Huo Huaixin sighed twice, "Yes, but he doesn't have any witnesses, and Wushu is his servant, so he helped him speak, and Wushu's testimony is not credible."
Qin Wan thought for a while, then suddenly said, "Maybe the magistrate will allow us to meet Wei Qizhi and Wu Shu?"
The corners of Huo Huaixin's lips twitched suddenly, "Ahem, Miss Nine, the prison cell is very dirty, how can you two beautiful and precious girls go in, if Master Hou pursues it, Huo can't afford it..."
Qin Wan frowned, and turned to look at Yue Ning. Yue Ning raised her chin immediately when she received Qin Wan's gaze, "Is my father a kind of person who doesn't know right from wrong? It's me who wants to go in, and it has nothing to do with adults. I am worried that we will see Wei Qizhi being tortured, but Yue Ning has practiced martial arts since she was a child and knows the rules of the yamen, so naturally she will not blame the adults."
Huo Huaixin had a resentful smile on his face. At this moment, Xu He walked in holding a file booklet, "My lord, here is the file you want!"
Huo Huai sighed confidently, "You take it first, the princess and Miss Jiu are going to the cell to have a look."
Xu He was surprised, "The cell..."
In the middle of speaking, Xu He cut off his words, Yue Ning was unrestrained, and Qin Wan was not even afraid of an autopsy, but would he be afraid of the mess and blood in the cell
Xu He turned to ask, "The Princess and Nine Girls, let's go this way—"
Huo Huaixin also said, "Princess Princess and Nine Girls can go and see if they want to, please..."
Qin Wan and Yue Ning got up and walked out together.
Huo Huaixin and Xu He led the way, and Yue Ning tilted her head and asked Qin Wan in a low voice, "Why do you want to go to the cell all of a sudden? They are better at interrogating prisoners. I'm afraid we won't be able to help if we go."
Now that Wei Qizhi has been tortured, can the two of them still watch others torture
Qin Wan shook her head slightly, "Go and see."
A tough-minded person commits a crime and knows that if he confesses, he will die. Maybe he can really resist the severe punishment and refuse to confess, but what if Wei Qizhi didn't lie
Qin Wan didn't know what was going on in the cell, so she wanted to take a look.
Walking along the side hall to the depths of the government office, after a short while, they came to a dark alleyway, and a servant in the distance strode forward, seeing Huo Huaixin walking with two little girls, he was taken aback for a moment, Huo Huaixin waved his hand, "Let the people inside avoid it."
With such an order, the yamen servant knew that Yue Ning and Qin Wan had extraordinary identities, so he immediately turned around and went back.
When Qin Wan and Yue Ning reached the entrance of the cell, they did not see a servant.
The prison cells of the Jinzhou government office are naturally much more detailed and solid than ordinary county government offices. The cell is underground, and Yue Ning and the two entered along a downhill alleyway. After a while, they saw the inside of the cell. As Huo Huaixin said, It was indeed not suitable for the two of them to come here, Yue Ning covered her mouth and nose, turned her head to look, and saw Qin Wan strolling in the courtyard, as if she was in her own backyard.
Turn left at a fork, and soon, you will arrive at a windowless darkroom specially used for interrogating prisoners.
Lights were lit in the four corners of the darkroom, and a large wooden shelf stood against the wall in front of it. At this moment, a man with his upper body naked was hung on the shelf. The man's naked upper body was covered with scarlet welts. Under his left shoulder, there was another obvious spot. With scalded scars all over the place, the man lowered his head and seemed to have fallen asleep. His messy black hair covered his head and face, but the faintly exposed facial features made Qin Wan vaguely see the shadow of Wei Yanzhi. These two brothers, unexpectedly There are three points of resemblance...
Huo Huaixin coughed uncomfortably, "It doesn't take too much punishment, but he couldn't stand it and passed out."
Yue Ning frowned, "Using torture is an adult's business, we won't interrupt."
Huo Huaixin breathed a sigh of relief. If the two little girls, Yue Ning and Qin Wan, couldn't stand this scene, it would be unsightly to say that he tortured him to extract a confession after they went out. Fortunately, these two understand the truth very well.
Qin Wan looked at Wei Qizhi's injury. Although no severe punishment was used, there were dozens of hundreds of welts alone. Such a long period of pain and torture would wear down a person's will. There will still be enough defensive awareness to prevent myself from telling the truth, but when the consciousness is tranced by pain and exhaustion, it is very likely that others will say whatever they ask, even if they can't tell everything, they will definitely show flaws.
Is Wei Qizhi's toughness to the point of outrage, or is it really not him who killed Song Rou
Looking down, Qin Wan saw Wei Qizhi's leg. Even though he was asleep, his left leg was bent in an awkward posture. If Qin Wan guessed correctly, Huo Huaixin must have tortured his leg when he was tortured. hurt.
Qin Wan looked carefully, Huo Huaixin saw that she didn't do anything else but just watched, so he smiled and said, "This place smells dirty, it's really not suitable for the Princess and Ninth Miss to stay longer, go out after watching."
Naturally, Qin Wan didn't really want to interrogate Wei Qizhi. After all, this matter was the official business of the yamen, and she had overstepped it this time. Qin Wan nodded, and Yue Ning also gave an "um" when she saw her attitude.
Huo Huaixin breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment, Wei Qizhi, who had fainted, suddenly moved.
His drooping head was lifted slightly, his eyes were half open, and he muttered something.
Qin Wan immediately stepped forward slowly, Yue Ning saw this, and also moved forward.
"No... I didn't kill it..."
"I didn't... I didn't kill..."
Yue Ning frowned, "Hey, you said you didn't kill him, where were you that night at the Ten Mile Temple? Find a witness, what your boy said doesn't count..."
Yue Ning said a word, but Wei Qizhi was silent.
Yue Ning looked down at him, "Hello, Wei Qizhi?"
Qin Wan pulled Yue Ning back, "You don't need to ask, he hasn't woken up yet, just said it unconsciously in a dream."
Yue Ning said "Oh", inevitably a little disappointed, but Qin Wan's eyes gave birth to a look of seriousness, she pulled Yue Ning, and walked to the door with her, Huo Huaixin was really relieved this time, "He keeps saying this ,Can not be trusted… "
Qin Wan paused, "What you say when you are unconscious is more believable than what you say when you are conscious."
Huo Huaixin blinked, but Qin Wan stopped talking, let go of Yue Ning and went straight out the door.
"Wrong... wrong... wrong..."
Qin Wan had already taken two steps, but there was a feeble cry from the narrow corridor of the cell.
Qin Wan stopped and turned to look at the source of the voice.
Huo Huaixin said with some embarrassment, "Haha, Miss Nine, don't worry, in the cell, there are too many grievances..."
Yue Ning raised her eyebrows, "Someone called for injustice, did Master Huo make someone wronged?"
Huo Huaixin smiled wryly, "Of course not, the princess misunderstood. The one who called out for injustice was Wei Qizhi's servant. He's been calling out for a long time. What he said doesn't count..."
Having said that, Yue Ning became interested first, "I'll go and have a look."
"Injustice... Injustice..."
Following the voice, Yue Ning walked ten or so steps deeper into the cell. Not long after, she saw in the cell on the left, a ragged young man with disheveled hair leaning against the cell pillar, dying to cry for grievances.
The robe on his body was shredded by the whip, and there were bruises on his face. It was obvious from a glance that Huo Huaixin had tortured him too. He was about the same age as Wei Qizhi, around twenty-three or four, and he Wei Qizhi was not seriously injured, and because he was not hung on the pillar, he got a chance to breathe. Not only did he not faint like Wei Qizhi, but he could also cry for grievances.
Qin Wan followed from behind, stared at him for a moment, turned his eyes, and saw another robe in the corner of the cell, which was also covered with bloodstains, but Qin Wan could see that the robe was originally blue The color is exactly the same as the color of the robe she saw with Yue Ning that day when the person peeping at them was wearing it!
Qin Wan frowned, "You are Wu Shu?!"
Her voice was quite cold and harsh. Wu Shu was leaning there and moaning with his eyes closed. He was startled by the voice and immediately turned around. Seeing two girls suddenly appearing in the cell, Wu Shu didn't react for a while...
"Your master, have you ever secretly peeped at the Qin residence?"
Qin Wan's voice was cold and intimidating, with an inexplicable allure, Wu Shu blurted out, "Yes..."
As soon as this word came out, Wu Shu came to his senses. He is a servant of the Wei family and has met many dignitaries in the capital. When he saw the demeanor of Qin Wan and Yue Ning, and Huo Huaixin who was behind them, Immediately knowing that Qin Wan and Yue Ning's identities were not simple, Wu Shu got up and knelt down to kowtow to Qin Wan and Yue Ning!
"You two young ladies, two female Bodhisattvas, please save my young master, my young master has been wronged, please save my young master..." Although Wu Shu was young, he was considered a crown, but right now he spoke with a smile on his face. There was a cry, and the eyes were red.
Qin Wan would not be moved by these two beggings, and she asked again, "Have you ever secretly peeped at the Qin residence, master?"
Wu Shu raised his head with tears on his face, and immediately met Qin Wan's dark eyes, hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes... because the master said that he found a girl who was with someone from the government office. Went to Yizhuang... He wanted to know how Miss Biao died, so he followed that girl to the Qin Mansion in the east of the city..."
Qin Wan narrowed her eyes, "Why do you say your son was wronged?"
Wu Shu cried even more terribly, "Of course my son was wronged! Although my son has a bad temper, how could he kill someone? My son had a childhood sweetheart with Miss Biao when he was young, and later my son broke his leg because of Miss Biao , I came here this time because I was afraid that something might happen to Miss Biao. Who knew that something happened to Ms. Biao. My son was heartbroken because of this matter and wanted to find out the truth, but... two ladies, my son was really framed Yes, when we arrived in Jinzhou, we hadn’t done anything, let alone been to the Anyang Marquis Mansion, and the wedding dress, where have we seen it before…”
Qin Wan raised her eyebrows, "Did someone testify for you that night at the Ten Mile Temple?"
Wu Shu nodded, then shook his head as if thinking of something, "We lived in a small inn, and the young master had a leg injury. We rested early that night. How could we kill people? But the magistrate said this No, there needs to be someone who can prove that we didn't go out all night, but how can this be proved? It's late at night and everyone is asleep... "
Qin Wan sighed, Huo Huaixin was right, there had to be someone who could prove that they hadn't left the inn all night.
Huo Huaixin stepped forward and said, "The princess and Miss Nine heard it too. They asked for witnesses but there were no witnesses. They just happened to be in Shili Temple. His master is still left-handed, and the one who has a relationship with Miss Song is also his master. There are too many doubts!"
"What kind of paper does your master usually write letters on?"
Qin Wan suddenly asked again, Wu Shu was stunned before he said, "Use... use Huzhou bamboo paper, use Taizhou rice paper..."
Qin Wan frowned, "Then what about your journey to the south? Has your master ever written anything?"
Wu Shu was stunned again, "I went to buy the most common jute paper..."
Yue Ning knew about the golden paper, and frowned slightly when she heard this, "Your master doesn't use the golden paper?"
Wu Shu wiped his tears, "My master doesn't have those hobbies, and he's in a hurry on the road, so why would he buy some paper?"
Qin Wan frowned, Yue Ning also became troubled, and Huo Huaixin beside him didn't know how he had something to do with the paper, so Qin Wan said, "My lord, do you still remember the filth that was taken away from Yizhuang?"
Huo Huaixin's eyes flashed suddenly, "So it's... paper?"
Qin Wan nodded, and Huo Huaixin said, "Go out and ask Nine Girls to explain in detail. Nine Girls and the princess don't need to listen to him anymore. All the confessions are on the file. Nine Girls will know when they go out and have a look."
When Huo Huaixin said this, Qin Wan also felt that it made sense, so he turned and walked towards the exit, and Yue Ning followed after seeing this.
Seeing that the group of them was about to leave, Wu Shu hugged the pillar of the cell and shouted heartbreakingly, "Bodhisattvas, my young master was really wronged. My young master came here out of kindness, how could he kill you?" Miss Biao..."
"Miss Biao died strangely, my son is also investigating why..."
Wu Shu cried, and Yue Ning couldn't bear to hear it, but Qin Wan was indifferent. Seeing that they didn't slow down at all, Wu Shu became more and more anxious, "My son really loves Miss Biao, how could he kill her!"
Yue Ning curled her lips, she not only has love, but also has flesh and blood!
"Master Zhifu! My son is really wronged—"
Wu Shu's cries echoed in the corridor of the cell, Huo Huaixin only felt that his ears hurt from the shock, and couldn't help but said impatiently, "You have said these words thousands of times, of course your son has a heart for Miss Song , otherwise, how could you do such outrageous things, your son broke his leg because of it, or he held a grudge, or wanted to renew his relationship, in short, your son has a reason to kill Miss Song!"
After Huo Huaixin finished speaking fiercely, he strode out with Qin Wan and the others.
Wu Shu watched the few people go further and further away, feeling extremely desperate in his heart, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "What if it's not my young master who has an affair with Miss Biao? What if my young master bears this stigma all his life because of Miss Biao?!"
Qin Wan seemed to be waiting for this moment, she was the first to stop, but did not turn her head.
And Wushu was filled with all the grief, laying down on the ground and crying loudly, "My son took the stigma for Miss Cousin, not to mention breaking a leg, and he followed me a thousand miles away...why...why do you want to frame my family? The young master killed someone... why do you still treat him like this! God is not fair! God is not fair... "
