What surprised Xiao Guantang even more was the reaction of his seventh brother!
From the beginning to the end, he was like an insider, correcting Cui Qiao whenever she lied, as if he had gotten the script in advance and knew the content long ago!
Xiao Cunyu asked Tieyi to wait in this room for Zhao Ren to come back.
The two brothers took Cui Qiao to the yamen.
Xiao Cunyu didn't know how many people Cui Qiao had killed, but it shouldn't be too few. According to the law, she should be sentenced to death. However, the expression on her face when she was about to die was so calm and fearless, without even a trace of regret.
I don't know what words to use to describe her.
Pitiable? Hateful? Sad or hateful?
On the way, Cui Qiao told the women where they were staying, and he felt more relieved after that.
Xiao Cunyu sent the man to Jingzhao Yin, but when they arrived at the gate of the government office, Xiao Cunyu suddenly asked, "Third brother, how are you going to tell Master Zong later?"
"What do you mean?" Xiao Guantang was puzzled.
"Are you stupid? Where did we catch this guy? If this gets out, people will think that you went to a brothel to look for women and just happened to meet a murderer! If this gets out, your reputation will be ruined!" Xiao Cunyu said immediately.
Xiao Guantang also looked a little uncomfortable.
He still wants this kind of reputation.
"Just say that I read the book..." Xiao Guantang got stuck halfway through his sentence.
It seems like a dead end.
No matter what the reason is, it seems unreasonable to go there...
"Just listen to me later!" Xiao Cunyu patted his third brother's shoulder.
They were not ordinary people, and Lord Zong had a great fondness for Xiao Cunyu. When he heard that she had brought the murderer, he immediately brought the case to court for trial.
Zong Ling was still stretching his head and hiding behind to peek.
Xiao Cunyu raised his head and chest and said, "Sir, this is a criminal... Ah Qiao. She has killed... several people and is a fugitive in Lucheng... I brought her to surrender to you."
“…” Lord Zong had a headache.
Is this the criminal?
Not quite!
But since even the Third Young Master Xiao is here, it’s probably true.
Since he is a criminal, he must be interrogated carefully, and the cause and effect of the murder and the process of arrest must be recorded one by one.
Therefore, Lord Zong had to ask carefully how Xiao Qi discovered the criminal.
Xiao Cunyu held his head high and puffed out his chest. "To be honest, I'm ashamed to say that I read the book 'Spring Love' yesterday and thought it was so well written that I wanted to get to know the author. I followed the clues and found Ah Qiao. It turns out she's the author of the storybook. Not only that, but many of the experiences in the book are also true. She's beautiful, and I was very interested in her, so I sat down and chatted with her for a while. As we talked, I realized something was wrong with her, so I used my eloquence to coax her into telling the truth."
"Seventh brother!" Xiao Guantang was anxious, "Master Zong, you are actually a student..."
"My third brother wanted to teach me to read. When he saw me running to that kind of place, he chased me all the way there. I really couldn't make A Qiao confess by myself. In fact, it was my third brother who interrogated and persuaded her that gave A Qiao the courage to come to the yamen." Xiao Cunyu finished speaking quickly, then glared at Xiao Guantang fiercely.
She leaned in front of him and said through gritted teeth in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Third brother, if your reputation is ruined, my eldest brother will definitely beat me to death when he comes back. Just think of it as saving my life and spare me..."
"That's not possible..."
"Why not? Am I not telling the truth? I am a playboy, so what's wrong with visiting a brothel?"
