After hearing this, Sun Yuanwai's face changed slightly, but he was still pretending to be calm, but he was just like that, and now when he heard such words, his mental state was not very good.

"Did you hear me wrong? How could I kill my concubine, besides, she hanged herself, what does it have to do with me? Don't get me wrong! ”

"Is it a misunderstanding that you know best in your heart, if it weren't for the extreme fear, I'm afraid you wouldn't suddenly say what you just said."

After Chu Xi said this, Shen Lian pretended to be the female ghost just now and let out a terrible cry.

After seeing her performance like this, Sun Yuanwai suddenly understood that everything just now was completely fake, and it was a few of them who pretended to deceive themselves.

He pointed angrily at the three of them.

"You're kidding me!"

"It doesn't matter if it's a trick on you or not, the important thing is that now that the murderer has been caught, please go back with us."

After hearing this, Sun Yuanwai's face changed greatly, because he knew very well in his heart what kind of consequences he would have if he followed these people back, but he was afraid that he would not return, and finally end up with his head on the ground.

After thinking of this, he looked at Chu Xi with a very firm gaze.

"Don't forget what kind of identity I am now, I am rich and powerful, if you are willing to let me go like this, I can give you some silver, a few hundred taels or a few thousand taels."

I didn't expect him to say such a thing at all, Chu Xi was stunned for a moment, although he was a prefect, he really didn't make much money.

If there is more silver at this time, it will certainly be a very happy thing for him.

At the same time, he also knew very well in his heart that it was not only himself who knew about this now, but also two other people, so he didn't know whether he should agree for a while.

He didn't answer, but looked at Shen Lian who was standing next to him, wanting to see what kind of thoughts she had, if she was willing to accept the silver, then he would have a reason to accept it.

But they just pretended not to know, and then characterized the case as a suicide, and since then the case has been closed and no longer asked, and there is no problem.

Facing Sun Yuanwai's words, Shen Lian felt particularly disgusted and disgusted.

It's all like this, there are too many people in one category, relying on their own wealth and power, and doing nonsense, so many things will be done.

"No matter how much it can't save you, you just accept your fate!" Shen Lian looked at him coldly and said, without the slightest mercy, his eyes were full of indifference.

After hearing this, Sun Yuanwai began to get nervous, he never thought that there was something that silver could not solve.

Could it be that I gave too little? Not enough to tempt her? "If it's too little, I can add more, as long as you can let me go, and treat it as if it didn't happen."

He kept raising the price in order to let Shen Lian let him go, but the result was the same, it was just a struggle in vain.

Under such circumstances, Chu Xi didn't have much to do.

After all, he is an official of the imperial court, and he should not admit it because of the identity of the other party at all, but stick to the end so that he will not be worthy of his official position.

Shen Lian made a look and asked Yin Qin to find a rope, directly tied up Sun Yuanwai, and then escorted him back and locked him in the prison.

But Sun Yuanwai was not obedient at all, and had been struggling desperately, although it was useless, he was still unwilling to accept his fate like this.

Several people who had been hiding in the house when they heard the sound came out one after another.

Seeing that Sun Yuanwai was about to be tied into a zongzi, Qiu Yue hurriedly asked, "What are you doing here?" How can I tie up my master? Let him go! ”

"There's no need to let go, he's the real murderer of that little concubine!" After hearing this, everyone was a little incredulous and didn't believe that he would do such a thing.

"Are you mistaken, my grandfather has a kind heart, and there is no contradiction with that concubine at all, how can he kill her, there must be a misunderstanding in this."

Huang never wanted to believe that her husband would do such a thing, so she tried to explain to him that she hoped that the prefect would open up and re-examine the matter.

But this time, Chu Xi couldn't help anything, so now that the evidence is conclusive, there is no need to retry it at all.

"Sun Yuanwai has already admitted the fact of killing people just now, and several of us have heard it."

After hearing this, Huang's mood was a little complicated, although she didn't want to believe this result, but judging from the current situation, there was no way to change it.

In any case, in the end, Sun Yuanwai is her husband, and the relationship between the two has always been very good, how can she watch her husband be arrested and then beheaded? Without thinking about it any further, Huang directly knelt down and pleaded, "Please, spare my master, give him a chance, no matter what you want, I will try my best to satisfy you." ”

Qiu Yue, who was standing next to her, also knelt down and began to plead.

But for their actions, Shen Lian not only did not have any sympathy, but was a little disgusted, staring at the two of them and questioning.

"It's a matter of course to kill people to pay for their lives, you want to be popular for your lord, but what about the dead concubine? She died in vain! These words directly made Huang speechless for a while, and he didn't know what to say, so he continued to plead.

Now I am afraid that there is no way to undo this situation, even if I continue to plead softly or give any benefits, the result will be the same.

Huang could also see that this Shen Lian was not such an easy person to deal with, and it was almost impossible to let her go.

Since it is soft and does not work, then it can only be hard.

She stood up slowly, no more, the humility just now, but faced them with a very reasonable attitude.

"The good things have been said just now, but you refuse to let go at all, let's be honest, we have people in the capital who know, I advise you not to ask for trouble, if you waste your time in vain, you may lose your current official position."

This sentence directly made Chu Xi's face change slightly, but fortunately, he was still calm and did not show it too obviously.

It's just that he doesn't know what to do now, looking at Shen Lian on the side, wanting to see how she decides.

But before Shen Lian could speak, Yin Chen couldn't wait to ask, "Who is the person in your capital?" ”

"Naturally, you are an official, and you can't afford to offend, so I advise you not to make trouble for yourself."

The words were full of confidence, which also made Yin Chen feel particularly curious, who is the backer I am talking about in Huang's mouth? And has the ability to settle such a thing, it must be the kind that the imperial court is in charge of, and the official position is quite high.

At this time, Shen Lian said unceremoniously, "It is natural to kill people to pay for their lives, no matter who comes, the result is the same, and it can't change the current situation at all." ”

After finishing speaking, he directly asked Yin Chen to escort Sun Yuanwai away.

Originally, the Huang family wanted to ask the guards in the family to help snatch people back, but after all, the other party was an official of the imperial court, and they didn't dare to act rashly at all, so they could only watch them take people away, and there was no other way.

In this way, Sun Yuanwai was taken away.

After putting him in prison, Chu Xi looked at Shen Lian worriedly and asked uneasily, "If they really have people in the capital, then what should we do?" We can't fight it with our ability! Shen Lian didn't think much of what he was worried about, and didn't care about it at all.

"Even if someone is really there, even if he is a high authority, he can't careless of people's lives, besides, in this matter, Sun Yuanwai is the murderer, he said it himself, and you heard it."

Chu Xi nodded, he did hear it, but what could it be? The arms are better than the thighs, and if they really think about it, I'm afraid they don't have any chance of winning.

Yin Chen is indeed a little impressed by her persistence, because not everyone has this idea of not being afraid of the powerful.
