Chapter 381: Torture and Coercion
"Wouldn't it be better for him to help us investigate the cause and effect." Wan Qiyan is in the habit of dealing with things most easily, and he said it without any guilt, even if the opponent helps him do things, he doesn't mind, what psychological burden can there be when he squeezes and uses people he hates.
Shen Yinqiu was silent for a while after hearing his words, and suddenly felt that this made perfect sense! Wan Qisheng looks so idle, it's just right to find something to do for him, why didn't she think about it!
Still, she asked; "Didn't you want him to know about this?" She pointed to the severed hand on the ground.
"No, I've changed my mind, it's better to let him know, with his involvement, the people behind it will have more scruples." Wan Qiyan's smile made people shudder.
Shen Yinqiu shook his head, "The more scruples they have, won't they hide deeper." ”
"It won't be long in hiding."
She thought about it for a while, but still felt that it was not good, "This gift box was sent by my second uncle, if it goes out, my second uncle will know, and then my grandmother's family will know!" ”
Wan Qiyan didn't expect that she had so many scruples, and only said after a while; "Then omit this part of the gift box, and directly say that Qianyu saw a maid standing on the water in the Chang'an Courtyard, and after investigation, it was found that the maid had been dead for three months."
Shen Yinqiu hummed and asked Ah Fei to pick up the gift box on the ground.
He looked frightened again, and brought the gift box to the table with trembling hands, and Shen Yinqiu asked him to cover the lid again, and tied the bow again.
After all this was done, there was silence all around, Shen Yinqiu held the flower tea to warm his hands, and looked at the gate of the courtyard from time to time, he was really bored of waiting, so he had to talk to Ah Fei: "What do you think of that Cuixiang person?" ”
Ah Fei's impression of Cuixiang only stayed on the fact that she was not very good-looking, people, he seemed to think: "I usually see her and Xiaoyan going in and out together, if it weren't for Xiaoyan's matter this time she said it, the villain didn't think there was anything wrong with her." ”
Shen Yinqiu slowly induced: "Is she usually a person with a big mouth?" "But no matter how loud-mouthed a person is, when such a painful thing happens to his sister, he is still in the mood to spread it everywhere?
Ah Fei seemed to think of something, "No! No, she doesn't like to talk much on weekdays, sometimes I give Xiaoyan snacks, Xiaoyan will give her some, and she will thank me. ”
Shen Yinqiu sighed in her heart, it seems that this Cuixiang is also very suspicious, she has to dig down.
After a full quarter of an hour, the maidservant girl came in with a person, and she couldn't see clearly from a distance, Shen Yinqiu squinted slightly, staring at them, and she couldn't see it clearly when she finally approached.
The maidservant saluted Shen Yinqiu; "Princess, Cuixiang has brought it."
The maid Cuixiang is really the same as Ah Fei described, at first glance, she is a silent lord, but if she doesn't want to speak, she will still follow the rules one by one.
Shen Yinqiu saw that she always lowered her head, so she ordered: "Cuixiang, raise your head and show me." ”
Qianyu glanced at Cuixiang, and also wanted to see who this maid who had been invited twice was sacred.
Cui Xiang responded, and looked up obediently, with unconcealed tension and uneasiness in her expression.
When she heard that Ah Fei was coming to her, she had an ominous premonition, because since that incident, Ah Fei had a falling out with her, and threatened to hate her and blame her for telling Xiaoyan's family.
Since then, she has basically become a stranger, she has deliberately met him many times, and Ah Fei has pretended not to know her. She knew that this was anger, and after Xiao Yan was gone, Ah Fei never sent anything again, her once hot heart also cooled down, she found that she didn't like Ah Fei very much, she just liked the feeling that someone bought her for everything.
In addition, she was a little weak-hearted, so she didn't want to see Ah Fei.
didn't expect that after Ah Fei, this faceless maid tricked her out, and came out and said that the princess wanted to see her, and if she didn't see her, she would bear the consequences.
What else could she do? can only follow the other party step by step to Chang'an Courtyard. She didn't think about why Shen Yinqiu wanted to see her, why she didn't say it explicitly, but asked for the reason for the embroidery style to come out to her.
Cuixiang raised her head as she said, her appearance was ordinary, not ugly, but there was nothing brilliant about it. has a somewhat timid appearance, with slender eyebrows and eyes, but does not have the matching complexion and look, but contrasts with the thin lip flap, giving people a gloomy feeling.
This kind of appearance is nothing at first glance, but it is quite unpleasant on closer inspection.
Of course, Shen Yinqiu didn't call her over to look at her faces, she asked, "I heard that you and Xiaoyan are good sisters and live in the same house?" ”
Cuixiang's heart tightened, she didn't understand why Shen Yinqiu would talk about that little goose, thinking of Ah Fei who was standing aside, and said in her heart, could it be that he said something in front of the princess? ?
Does he like little geese so much?! However, when it was rumored that Xiaoyan also had a mad attack, wasn't he just as far away?
Only she knew that Little Goose was not crazy at all.
She weakly admitted yes in front of Shen Yinqiu, but she quickly explained: "At that time, it was a house for twelve people, so more than slaves and maids lived with her. ”
Shen Yinqiu guessed what she wanted to say when she said this, but she ignored it and asked herself, "She told you what happened to Xiaoyan's family?" ”
"The princess, the slave and the maid ......"
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Qianyu and said: "When the princess asks you, you only need to answer yes or no, and you don't need to say anything else." ”
Shen Yinqiu glanced at Qianyu appreciatively, or Qianyu understood her.
Cuixiang choked back and whispered yes.
Shen Yinqiu continued: "Then after she told you, you spread it again, and used speculation and vague guidance to make people think that Xiao Yan also has madness? ”
Cui Xiang raised her head suddenly, her eyes were uncertain, and she looked at Ah Fei who didn't speak on the side, she knew that after this admission, Xiao Yan's death would be more or less linked to her. She was reluctant to admit it: "Back to the princess, the slave maid was very sad to see Xiaoyan at that time, and she was afraid that she would not know how to comfort her if something happened to her, so she asked the older sister what to do, and the slave maid did not expect that the eldest sister would misunderstand the meaning of my words." The princess Mingjian! ”
Shen Yinqiu sighed, she couldn't think of this reason, she couldn't think of this reason, she was not a worry-free maid, she should continue to put it back in Wan Qisheng's yard, and maybe she would be able to make things happen at that time. But it's just a matter of thinking.
She looked at Cuixiang's not very calm face meaningfully, "I heard that on the night of Xiaoyan's accident, you also got up at night and left for a while, and the maid who went to the thatched house at the same time said that you were not in the thatched house, can you explain where you went?" ”
Cuixiang knelt down and whispered, "Returning to the world, slave and maid...... The slave couldn't sleep that day, so she walked around the courtyard and came back not long after. ”
"I didn't find Xiao Yan at that time, isn't your good sister in the room?" Shen Yinqiu raised her eyebrows and continued to ask with a smile, but Cui Xiang didn't dare to relax, her head buzzed a little chaotic, and she couldn't answer.
She replied after a while: "No, I don't know, I didn't pay attention to ......" At the end, she made a look of self-blame, clutched her chest and said: "If only I could find out at that time, maybe Xiao Yan won't have an accident...... "
Poor performance, Shen Yinqiu shook his head, "Then do you know what happened to Xiao Yan in the past few days?" ”
Cuixiang was dumbfounded, and stammered a little: "You, princess, what did you say?" ”
"Give you two choices, one is to take the initiative to confess what you have done, and I will treat you leniently. Second, if you don't admit it, I will sell you to Renyazi and let him sell you to the northwest region. ”
Ah Fei looked up at Cuixiang, there was a trace of unbearability in his eyes, but he didn't have an outlet to help her intercede.
Cui Xiang said: "Princess, what are you...... Threaten the slave and maid to admit that the child is not in vain. Is Ah Fei talking nonsense in front of you? Princess, you are so kind, you must not be deceived by other people's words. ”
Shen Yinqiu said in her heart, it's not that this person doesn't talk much, but she doesn't want to talk casually.
She originally planned to take the route of coercing confessions, she was too lazy to find any clues, Xiao Yan still died, and this Cuixiang also had a problem, just she misled others in language, and generated cold violence to stimulate Xiao Yan, who was alone, should also learn a lesson.
"Do you know who you are and who I am? Do I need a reason to dispose of it? Do you understand? Whether you say it or not, it's getting late, and if you are in a bad mood after a long delay, the end will be very serious. I don't lie to you~" Shen Yinqiu looked at her with a smile.
Cuixiang couldn't open her mouth, if she admitted it, it would be a dead end, and if she didn't admit that she sold it to people, maybe there would be a chance to escape.
After a few breaths, she didn't speak. Shen Yinqiu sighed; "Thirty boards, then ten fingers, and then thirty lashes, and remember to smoke them with chili water, and if they still refuse to speak, cut off their limbs, cut off their tongues, and throw them into the street to beg. You don't have to dig your eyes. ”
Cui Xiang was stunned, the whole person froze on the ground, her lips trembled, she couldn't speak with tears streaming down her face, she looked at Shen Yinqiu, she couldn't believe that such a vicious torture came out of Shen Yinqiu's mouth. She also looked at Shizi with a pleading gaze, but Wan Qiyan looked at Shen Yinqiu with all her heart, and she didn't even give her the afterglow.
Ah Fei couldn't help but persuade: "Cuixiang, you just admit your mistake honestly, Xiao Yan has already found the princess." ”
The last words he said were too terrifying, and they were also the last straw that overwhelmed Cuixiang.
Is the goose really back? But she didn't come back for the first seven days, and she will come back after so long?! Three months, three months!
Cuixiang doesn't believe it, but what if she doesn't believe it, if the princess wants to crush her, it's as simple as stepping on an ant. All this is just a reason.
Oh, my God! Who will save her! She doesn't want to die, what should she do?
Shen Yinqiu admired the despair in her eyes, and felt that she had become bad, and she couldn't sympathize.
She sighed, "Come on, drag her down." ”
