"Ahem..."

"I am here to take you for questioning on the orders of the Emperor's grandson!"

When Qin Xiangsi heard this, she was so frightened that her legs weakened even more. If it weren't for the help of the little maid, she would have collapsed on the ground.

When Xu Liuzi saw her cute look, a small fire arose in his heart.

What a natural beauty!

"My lord, I don't know what crime this civilian woman has committed, and the emperor's grandson wants you to come and arrest me..."

When Xu Liuzi heard this, he quickly put away his charming thoughts and started talking nonsense seriously.

"Sun Yuan has already confessed, saying that you ordered him to burn down the official warehouse, and also said that he would be given fifty thousand taels of silver after the incident was completed!"

When Qin Xiangsi saw that Jinyiwei knew everything about Sun Yuan, she suddenly felt like the world was falling apart.

It’s over!

My fate has been sealed!

Qin Xiangsi's mind flashed with many inappropriate images, such as being stripped of his pants and beaten, being paraded alive on a wooden donkey, etc.

In ancient times, there were only a few ways to punish female criminals, such as hitting a board, pinching fingers, riding a wooden donkey, etc.

Generally speaking, women were rarely punished in ancient times.

If a woman commits a crime and has a father, brother, husband, son, etc., these people will usually be questioned.

If there were no such people, torture would have to be used to survive, and it would mainly be humiliating, with little direct harm to life.

But because many women couldn't bear the humiliation, they hanged themselves after returning from the yamen.

Qin Xiangsi had an inexplicable fear of the Yamen. She thought that she would not be able to come back if she went there. Even if she could come out alive, she would be stripped naked and paraded through the streets by the officials.

Therefore, she only had one thought at this time, which was to find a rope to hang herself!

"My lord, please give me a moment of grace and let me go in and change my clothes..."

Xu Liuzi wanted to refuse, but Qin Xiangsi's words "nujia" made his bones go numb, and he nodded subconsciously.

Qin Xiangsi smiled gratefully at Xu Liuzi, feeling infinite contempt in his heart.

Looking at Jin Yiwei's style, if she goes to jail, she will definitely not get any good results!

Rather than being humiliated by such insulting people, it's better to be killed by a head-on collision!

Qin Xiangsi returned to the bedroom with the help of the little maid, then sent the little maid out, took out a foot of white silk from the box and hung it on the beam.

Xu Liuzi waited outside for a cup of tea. Seeing that Qin Xiangsi still hadn't come out, he immediately felt a little anxious.

"What are you doing, Mrs. Qin? Why don't you come out?"

"Go in and hurry up and tell your wife, I don't have time to waste time here!"

"yes!"

The little maid responded, then opened the door and walked into Madam Qin's bedroom, and immediately let out a shrill scream.

"Not good!"

"My eldest wife has hanged herself!"

When Xu Liuzi heard this, he kicked open the door and rushed in. When he saw a person hanging from the beam, he quickly cut off Bai Ling with a knife, and when Mrs. Qin fell down, he cut off the white silk with a knife.

Catch it.

Nephrite was full of warm and fragrant hugs, but Xu Liuzi didn't have any charming feelings at all. He laid Mrs. Qin flat on the ground, punched her chest a few times, and then pinched her neck to help her clear the blockage.

airway.

I don't know if it was those few punches that were effective, or if it was the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, but after a while Qin Xiangsi giggled twice and actually started to pant.

Xu Liuzi saw Qin Xiangsi open his eyes and said with surprise on his face.

"You finally woke up!"

Qin Xiangsi's heart suddenly turned gray when she saw Xu Liuzi's face full of anger.

She regretted it now. She shouldn't have been thinking about a "beautiful death" just now, but she had to put on makeup before she died.

Otherwise, I will definitely not be saved by the evil man in front of me.

Qin Xiangsi woke up again. After breathing evenly, she immediately started sobbing.

Xu Liuzi rarely saw women crying, and even Jin Yiwei might not see a few female criminals a year.

Seeing Qin Xiangsi crying so miserably at this time, she immediately panicked.

"What's wrong with you!"

"You are committing suicide out of fear of crime. If you are caught by the government, you will take off your clothes and slap the plan!"

Xu Liuzi originally wanted to comfort the other party, but after that, the other party cried even more sadly.

If it was sobbing just now, it has turned into howling.

But now Xu Liuzi couldn't control that much, and immediately ordered people to kidnap Qin Xiangsi and bring him to the lobby of the Suzhou prefect's Yamen.

However, Zhu Yunxi had already fallen asleep at this time and had no time to talk to her.

In the end, Qin Xiangsi stayed in the lobby all night in fear.

When Zhu Yunxi got up the next day, he first counted the criminal assets of Sun Yuan, the ambassador of Botou, a petty official and a huge corrupt official, and found a total of 176,346 taels of silver.

Zhu Yunxi reported directly to the court 170,000 taels, and the remaining fraction was rewarded to the Jinyiwei investigators.

Real estate deeds and the like were also auctioned on the spot, and all the proceeds were confiscated.

After finishing all this, and after several reminders from Xu Liuzi, Zhu Yunxi came to the front hall.

At this time, Qin Xiangsi was about to explode with internal anxiety. When she saw a handsome young man suddenly walking into the lobby, she immediately begged softly.

"Little brother, can you help my sister untie the rope? My sister is almost dying of discomfort..."

"oh!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunxi actually stepped forward to help her untie the rope. Qin Xiangsi regained her freedom and ran out the door on the spot.

But as soon as she walked out the door, she was dumbfounded. She didn't even know where the latrine was!

"Little brother..."

"The latrine is in the northeast corner outside the lobby, with the word "toilet" written on it..."

When Qin Xiangsi heard this, two blushes appeared on her face. But at this time, she couldn't care less about her shyness and could only run towards the northeast corner.

At this time, she was even glad that she had been sold to a brothel since she was a child. If her feet were bound like normal Jiangnan women, it would be difficult for her to die.

After resolving the internal emergency in her body, Qin Xiangsi returned to the lobby with a relaxed expression and motioned to Zhu Yunxi to tie her up again.

"Little brother, my sister is back. Please tie it up for me quickly, lest your adults punish you for this!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunxi softly said "Oh" again, walked to the rope and picked it up, but did not tie up Qin Xiangsi.

"Mrs. Qin, why don't you go wash up and have breakfast before you come to ask questions."

"ah?"

Under Qin Xiangsi's surprised gaze, Zhu Yunxi snapped his fingers, and then a group of maids came out from behind the screen and drove Qin Xiangsi to the back house to wash up.

Qin Xiangsi vaguely guessed something, but was not sure, so he immediately asked the maid next to him.

"Who was that boy just now?"

"That is our Emperor Grandson of the Ming Dynasty!"

"It's indeed him!"

Qin Xiangsi hammered her head in annoyance, thinking that she should have guessed it earlier. The magistrate's lobby is such a confidential place.

, is it possible for ordinary young people to come and go at will?

However, why did the emperor's grandson treat him like this?

You don’t value your own beauty, do you?

As soon as Qin Xiangsi's idea came to her mind, she threw it away.

If she could be ten years younger, she would be able to charm the emperor's grandson with her beauty.

However, she is now twenty-five years old and has become an old woman. She still has the charm of the past.

Furthermore, the emperor's grandson is only thirteen or fourteen years old, so he probably doesn't understand what love between a man and a woman is.

It is extremely shameless for me to have such evil thoughts towards a child!

So what exactly does he want to do to himself?

You don’t want to hear me sing, do you?

Qin Xiangsi walked into the back house of the prefect's Yamen with an unusually anxious mood, and washed up under the waiters of a group of maids.

After she freshened up, asked for rouge and gouache from the maid, and dressed herself up again, she looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly regained some confidence in her heart.
