Chapter 1551: No Way to Defend Yourself
The prime minister was even more certain that the assassin must have been sent by the Fourth Prince, otherwise how could his martial arts be so powerful?
His heart instantly sank...
No matter how good the assassin's martial arts were, he could not withstand the siege of Sun Bai, A Ye and others, and gradually became weak. Then Sun Bai shouted and stabbed his arm with a sword. The long sword fell to the ground. Fearing that he would commit suicide by taking poison, Sun Bai pinched it neatly, and with a "click", his jaw was dislocated. He was taken down by everyone.
"Hear now! This matter cannot be delayed!"
Sun Bai stared at the Prime Minister who was limp on the ground with sharp eyes, and sneered, "The Prime Minister is here too!"
The chancellor supported himself with the help of his attendant and stood up from the ground. He said bitterly, "I don't care whether you believe it or not. This person has nothing to do with me! I, I know nothing about this matter..."
No one believed him, and the only response he got was a sneer.
Even the prefect's gaze towards him was cold and solemn.
The Prime Minister's eyes went dark...
The interrogation results came out that night, and it was revealed that the prime minister was the mastermind behind the incident.
The assassin confessed himself, the person was found in his yard, and he and his wife were targeting Lord Shao, so they had a motive, and the case was solved.
The prefect was delighted to see this, and immediately made a decisive move to add fuel to the flames. All the bribery and illegal activities that the prefect had suppressed before, as well as the collusion between officials and businessmen to bully the market, and the many things that his family had done to bully the people in the village, were all turned up. The prefect and his wife were imprisoned, and the prefect submitted a memorial, waiting for the approval. He was destined to end his career as an official...
As for the assassin, after he gave his confession, an oversight led to him committing suicide by taking poison in public.
The bodies were disposed of in a mass grave.
But no one knew that the assassin was actually disguised as the secret guard of the Eastern Palace. With Sun Bai and others looking after him, faking his death was a very easy matter.
When the chancellor was imprisoned, so many old cases were brought up, and there were too many cases that could have caused him to lose his job and be severely punished, and ruin his reputation, so no one would pay special attention to catching the assassin anymore.
After all, the injured Lord Shao has spoken, so we just need to handle it according to the law.
The prime minister and his wife were thrown into prison, and many people from the Qin family were also imprisoned because they were implicated in many cases. Everyone was terrified and looked as pale as death.
The wife of the prime minister no longer had any of her previous arrogance. In just a few days, she had become so haggard that she seemed to have aged a dozen years. She had been crying so much in that dirty and messy prison cell where the air was filled with mold, and her eyes were swollen.
How could she have ever suffered such pain!
Why am I so unlucky?
The prefect's wife was so proud and happy!
She had suffered a lot from the Prime Minister's wife, which often made her dizzy and chest tightness. But now it's good. This is what God has done for her!
Shao Yunduan planned it precisely, and had long anticipated that the prefect would not let go of the opportunity to kick a fallen dog. And once the bad things that the prefect and his family had done in the past were exposed, the Fourth Prince would certainly not lend a hand to rescue him, and he would be destined to become an abandoned pawn.
He will not let go easily anyone who hurts his wife!
Qiao Xuan also let out the anger in her heart. Everything has a cause and an effect. Whether it was the collusion with the Fourth Prince's men to kidnap her and attempt to attack her and Shao Yunduan, or those illegal and evil deeds, they should bear all the consequences.
At this point, Qiao Xuan no longer had the slightest interest in them. She was not interested in what happened to the previously arrogant wife of the prime minister, or how miserable her current situation was.
