Chapter 154: Behind Bars
The assassin was able to escape from Shen Qianchen's hands, he must not be an ordinary person, and on the county commander's side, it was impossible to know about the attack on the caravan in advance, how did he catch the assassin?
Shen Qianchen had the same doubts as Bai Linxia.
"Lord County Commander, I and Xianggong were wronged, we have no grievances with the deceased, why do we want to kill them?" Bai Linxia directly shouted injustice.
"The assassin has confessed, so don't quibble!" The county magistrate patted the startled wooden road.
Hearing this, a ghostly light flashed in Shen Qianchen's dark eyes.
"Lord Qiqi, she is the one who bribed us to assassinate the caravan!" The assassin pointed at Bai Linxia Road.
"It's nonsense, I've always had business dealings with caravans, why should I kill them?" Bai Linxia was furious.
She didn't expect that she was ready to leave Yangzhou, and she would be wronged.
"You want to embezzle the caravan's property, so you deliberately instructed us to kill people!" The Assassins have always insisted that Bai Linxia is the mastermind behind it.
"I am not short of silver!" Bai Linxia sneered, "Before you wronged me, you should know my identity, the few shops I opened, although I don't say that I make money every day, but I also make a lot of money, how can I kill people for money?" ”
"My lord, this is a letter she wrote to me, she is the culprit of the case, please judge the villain lightly!" The Assassin pulled out a forged letter.
This was arranged by Wu Yuanhang in advance.
"What else do you have to say?" After reading the letter, the county commander's eyes lit up.
"I didn't kill anyone, he faked it all!" Bai Linxia did not want to be forced to confess.
"Mrs. Shen, did you kill my brother?" The leader of the caravan asked angrily.
"No, believe it or not, I'm innocent!" Bai Linxia looked at him calmly.
"Hmph, I don't know you, I don't need to wronged you!" The Assassin dealt her a heavy blow.
"Come on, stay them and detain them for the time being!" The county magistrate directly ordered someone to take them to the cell.
Shen Qianchen and Bai Linxia were innocently imprisoned.
"Qin Yulan's woman is a broom star, Wu Yuanhang is a crazy person, the two of them are a natural pair!" Bai Linxia secretly greeted their ancestors in his heart.
"I didn't handle it well this time, and I put you in prison!" A trace of self-reproach crossed Shen Qianchen's eyes.
At that time, he had already noticed that the person was killed by Wu Yuanhang, but he didn't expect that the other party would have a backup move, and he directly lost the opportunity.
"It's not about you!" Although Bai Linxia and him were husband and wife, they were detained in two separate cells.
However, the prison meals of the two were close together, which made Bai Linxia feel a lot more relieved......
At night, their men sneaked into the cell.
"Childe, are you okay, ma'am?" When they learned that the two were in a cell, they were very anxious.
However, at this point, it is not good for them to go directly to the drums and beat the distance, so they can only come at night to understand the true thoughts of the matter.
"We're fine, has the shop been affected?" Bai Linxia asked.
"A few shopkeepers reacted quickly, but after the rumors about your murder spread, the shop's business was greatly affected!" The subordinate told her the truth.
"This matter is likely to be done by Wu Yuanhang, you guys find a way to find out the truth of the facts!" Shen Qianchen wants to leave here with dignity, and at the same time, he also has to pay the corresponding price for the murderer.
"Yes!" Shen Qianchen's subordinates are well-trained, and even if they encounter unexpected events, they can not be alarmed.
After receiving the order, they immediately left the cell and went to look for Wu Yuanhang.
It's a pity that he has left Yangzhou, and Shen Qianchen's subordinates are unwilling to give up, so they have been chasing after him.
No matter what, they must investigate the truth of the matter, so that Shen Qianchen and Bai Linxia can get away with it.
Although Wu Yuanhang had been on the road with his own people all the time, he was still caught up.
He took a woman with him, and he couldn't ride a fast horse, so he could only take a carriage, and Shen Qianchen's subordinates chased him directly on horseback.
"Wu Gongzi, the caravan was killed, please cooperate!" After catching up with him, Shen Qianchen's subordinates immediately asked him to cooperate.
"Hmph, what kind of thing are you, it's just a dog raised by Shen Qianchen's side, and you dare to ask me to cooperate with the investigation?" Wu Yuanhang's attitude was extremely arrogant.
He thought that Shen Qianchen and Bai Linxia were just ordinary businessmen, and he didn't take them to heart at all.
After Shen Qianchen's subordinates glanced at each other, they directly moved with them.
However, because Wu Yuanhang brought a lot of people, they were directly tripped up and watched him escape.
Failing to catch him, Shen Qianchen's subordinates could only find another way.
It's a pity that the murderer ran away, and they investigated very few clues, and they couldn't prove Bai Linxia and Shen Qianchen's innocence at all.
"Childe, my subordinates are incompetent, let Wu Yuanhang run away!" That night, they went to their cell to regain their sight.
"Wu Yuanhang, that bastard, he really thinks that if he kills someone, he can sit back and relax by blaming us?" Bai Linxia's eyes were cold.
"Xia'er, what are your plans?" After Shen Qianchen saw her eyes, a trace of suspicion flashed in his heart.
"Do you still remember the jade pendant that Xiao Marquis Xie gave me before leaving?" Bai Linxia originally wanted to return the jade pendant to Zhao.
However, now that the situation is urgent, if they have been locked up in prison, the truth of the matter will not know when it will come out, and now rumors are spreading, which is extremely detrimental to her and Shen Qianchen's reputation.
Bai Linxia didn't want the real murderer to get away with it all the time.
"You want to use that jade pendant?" Shen Qianchen's sword frowned.
"The situation is critical, I can't care so much, just because we owe him a favor!" Bai Linxia looked directly at him and said.
In the end, Shen Qianchen still agreed to her approach.
Bai Linxia handed over the jade pendant to his subordinates and asked them to show it to the county order.
After the county magistrate saw the jade pendant, he didn't dare to continue to detain them.
This jade pendant represents the identity of the little marquis, and he doesn't dare to get them easily.
Although Shen Qianchen and Shen Qianchen left the cell, they couldn't leave just yet.
After all, the real culprit of the case has not been revealed for a day, and they are still suspected.
Immediately after leaving the cell, they found the assassin.
For now, the Assassin was still in prison and was not released, after all, he had blood on his hands.
"Say, who told you to blame us?" When Shen Qianchen saw the assassin, he immediately asked in a deep voice.
"Who else but you and your husband?" The assassin looked stunned, then immediately returned to normal.
"You're from Wu Yuanhang, right?" Bai Linxia looked at him with a smile and said, "Recently, we have never had a bad relationship with anyone, and I can't think of anyone else except him!" ”
"I don't know anything!" The Assassin looked away.
"Do you think that if you bite to death and don't open your mouth, we won't be able to do anything about you?" Bai Linxia pulled a silver hairpin off his head.
Bai Linxia has always liked light and simple jewelry, so he often wears hostas and delicate and beautiful silver hairpins.
When she was imprisoned this time, all the hairpins on her body were removed, leaving only the silver hairpin that pulled her hair.
"What do you want to do?" When the Assassin saw her move, his eyes lit up with a hint of war.
"Since you won't say anything, I can only use my own way to let you speak!" Bai Linxia smiled and put the silver hairpin on his neck, "You say, if I row hard, can your life be saved!" ”
"Bai Linxia, you don't want to scare me, you won't do this!" The other party's attitude is very determined.
After all, he was the only witness in the case, and if he died, things would be even worse for them.
He believed that Bai Linxia and Shen Qianchen would not act impulsively.
"You're very smart, but if you keep biting us, we can't get out, so naturally we'll have to pull a cushion!" Bai Linxia's silver hairpin pierced into his flesh.
However, the other party did not panic at all, and was completely unmoved, "If you have the ability, you will kill me directly!" ”
"Aren't you curious why we're here?" Shen Qianchen glanced at him with deep eyes.
Hearing this, the assassin's face changed drastically, "You have bribed the county order? ”
"Nonsense, our behavior is not as filthy as your master!" Bai Linxia's eyes darkened.
Shen Qianchen ignored him, but directly took out a small pill from his body, "This is the Soul Devouring Pill I just developed, since you want to die so much, I will fulfill you!" ”
He ordered his own people, pinched the other party's chin, and fed the medicine directly.
"What the hell did you give me?" It didn't take long for the man to begin to have abdominal pains and cold sweat on his forehead.
"After you eat this elixir, you won't die immediately, and after seven or seventy-nine days, you will bleed to death!" Shen Qianchen's words were like a thunderbolt, making him just want to die immediately.
So, he stretched out his hand and wanted to kill himself, but Shen Qianchen had already guarded against him, so naturally he would not let him succeed.
"Kill me......" he rolled in pain in his cell.
"Tell the truth, I will give you the antidote immediately, otherwise after today, Da Luo Immortal will not be able to save you!" Shen Qianchen's medical skills are excellent, and pharmaceuticals are just a piece of cake for him.
The Assassin gritted his teeth, unwilling to reveal anything.
"Will he really say that?" Bai Linxia saw his painful appearance, and she was a little unsure in her heart, she was worried that the other party would not be able to stand the torture and commit suicide directly.
After all, they can't stay here all the time, and if he dies, all the clues will be broken.
"No one can withstand the inhuman torture of seven hundred and forty-nine days!" Shen Qianchen was confident in the Soul Devouring Pill he had developed.
Bai Linxia glanced at him in surprise, his eyes full of incredulity.
She originally thought that Shen Qianchen had deliberately exaggerated the effectiveness of the pill, but she didn't expect him to actually research this pill.
After Shen Qianchen saw her surprise, he silently held her hand.
"Give me the antidote, I can't stand it!" A quarter of an hour later, he begged for mercy.
"Confess the mastermind behind the scenes, and I will give you the antidote!" Shen Qianchen had already guessed that he couldn't stand it.
"Everything was done by Wu Yuanhang, and he sent someone to forge that letter!" Although he knew that betraying Wu Yuanhang would not lead to results, he really couldn't stand it.
Shen Qianchen's Soul Devouring Pill was too powerful, he couldn't survive and die.
Even if he died in the hands of Wu Yuanhang in the future, he would admit it.
"Very good, if you are in court one day and continue to correct our husband and wife, I will let you taste that life is worse than death!" After Shen Qianchen finished speaking, he left with Bai Linxia.
After getting the answers they wanted, they still couldn't retract their confessions and needed to find other evidence.
Shen Qianchen followed the clues provided by the assassin and began to investigate in depth what Wu Yuanhang had done in Yangzhou, and he wanted to reveal the truth of the case in the shortest possible time......
