I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Huo Yu frowned slightly. He doesn't like subordinates who make their own decisions.

Luo Qianhuai was still looking up at him, his eyes full of disappointment and sadness. Although he was a little deliberate, he unexpectedly couldn't stand it.

"No need to put on the restraints." He said: "I think Mrs. Luo will follow us back obediently in order not to injure others, right?"

Luo Qianhuai's expression was extremely soft: "Sir, you are joking. My daughter has always been timid and cautious, and will never violate the law or discipline. Since she has no guilt in her heart, why should she be afraid of taking such a trip to clarify the misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?" Huo Yu's lips curled up.

Luo Qianhuai's back straightened and he nodded solemnly: "My little girl only knows how to cure illnesses and save people, and has never done anything illegal."

"Sir, we found it!" Several soldiers came out of the backyard and interrupted her excitedly.

Luo Qianhuai's eyes widened instantly as he looked at what they were holding.

Didn't she burn this ginger-yellow silk pajamas last night?

She turned to Xingjiu in shock, and Xingjiu was confused.

"What about the tasks I assigned last night?" She bit her back molars and squeezed out a voice from between her teeth.

Only then did Xingjiu react: "Mrs. Madam, could you have forgotten that you were too lazy to choose at that time and just said you would make two of each color?"

Luo Qianhuai did remember it. Then I feel heartbroken.

No matter how soft they speak, they can't hide it from the people around them.

"So Mrs. Luo, who abides by the law, what can she say now?" Bai Ming specially added an accent to the words "obey the law."

Luo Qianhuai had nothing to say, so he shut up obediently and was taken into the Yiting court and down to the underground prison.

The cells in Changling City are much larger and more lively than those in Secret Valley and Yushan Garden.

Countless prisoners in ragged clothes looked at her with various eyes through the bars.

Although Luo Qianhuai was not afraid, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

She tightened her cloak and quickened her pace.

This cloak was something that the official in Feiyi specially reminded Xingjiu to put on her before leaving.

So maybe she was wrong. The man was just cold on the surface, but in fact he was still willing to show humane care to other criminals.

Unfortunately, as soon as the ginger pajamas came out, the evidence was conclusive. Her previous sophistry was refuted as worthless, and she didn't know what was waiting for her.

The sound of whip whipping was getting closer and closer along with the screams. The person escorting her stopped outside a torture chamber and pushed her inside.

There was a young man tied to the torture rack. There were many whip marks on his body. They looked like flesh wounds, but they were not serious.

Just as soon as he opened his mouth, Luo Qianhuai guessed his identity.

"How many times have I told you, I have no accomplices! I really don't know why she wanted to get my plaque!" So, this unlucky guy is the gentleman she threw out last night?

Wait a minute, what does "my family's plaque" mean? Could it be that this one is the incompetent cousin that uncles disdain to mention?

"Madam Luo." Bai Ming stepped in slowly from behind: "Your cousin is very caring to you, and he still refuses to testify against you until now. It's really rare."

"So it's you!" Wenjia didn't hear his words clearly at all. As soon as he saw Luo Qianhuai, he immediately glared: "Sir, it's her! She is the female thief who came last night! This female thief is so hateful, she not only wants to steal my family's plaque, but also throw me out to confuse the public - She should be the one you should torture, and I didn’t say a single lie!"

The execution room suddenly fell into a subtle silence.

A cousinship that isn’t even plastic. Luo Qianhuai sighed and glanced at the few types of simple and crude torture instruments in the room. He looked up at Bai Ming, only to see that the other person was also looking down at her.

"My cousin doesn't recognize my daughter, and I have never met him before. Even my uncle only recognized me yesterday. When I went to the treasury to steal the plaque, it was my daughter's impromptu idea and had nothing to do with anyone else. Luo Qianhuai pursed his lips and forced a smile: "It was a coincidence that I met my cousin there."

"If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have thrown my cousin out as a scapegoat last night, and he wouldn't have hated me so much. Your Excellency, with his sharp eyes, must have already made up his mind."

Bai Ming also smiled: "Mrs. Luo knows the current affairs. So are you willing to confess what happened last night?"

"Recognize it, why don't you admit it." Luo Qianhuai lowered his eyes: "My little girl is fragile and cannot withstand torture. And what we committed last night was just an attempted theft. I don't know if the national law can be used to pay off the crime. If so, my little girl I am willing to pay for the sins of myself and my cousin."

"Madam Luo has a good idea. Since your Majesty took the throne, you have indeed made a method of atonement with money, but that also depends on the crime you have committed."

These words were not spoken by Bai Ming, but came from outside the execution chamber.

Xu Kai didn't know how long he had been standing outside. Now he slowly walked in: "Bai Sikou." He said: "This woman's conversation and knowledge are far from ordinary female thieves. I suspect that she is related to a serious treason case." . Bai Sikou has worked hard since the trial last night, how about handing him over to me for trial?"

As soon as Luo Qianhuai heard the word "treason", he knew something was wrong: "Two adults, my daughter is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Last night she just made a mistake because of a moment of disagreement after hearing what happened to her uncle. She will never be involved. Please be aware of this major conspiracy case!"

Xu Kai sneered: "If I remember correctly, you said before that you dare not break the law with a clear conscience. If you hadn't found evidence, you wouldn't even admit to the theft at night, let alone the serious crime of treason?"

Luo Qianhuai was speechless for a moment. Sure enough, even in Dayu, there is also a level of integrity. Once you tell a lie once and you are caught, nothing you say in the future will work.

Captain Changling was an official with a thousand shi, which was a bit higher than Bai Sikou's 600 shi. Bai Ming did not dare to offend Xu Kai, but he also did not want to let go of the credit he received easily.

"Sir Xu." He approached the other party: "After so many years, I still have some experience in torture. If you can trust me, I am willing to do the interrogation on your behalf. If you find anything, I will report all the results to the superiors. How? ?”

Xu Kai naturally heard what he didn't say. This Wenjia was personally handed over to Bai Ming by Mr. Huo for trial. Now that Mrs. Luo has been brought to justice, in accordance with the principle of not disturbing the two masters, she probably acquiesced and let him handle it.

Although he could snatch the case directly based on his official rank, firstly it was difficult to explain to the adults, and secondly, Bai Ming was completely offended.

Although his official position is not as high as his own, he is in charge of anti-theft matters in and around Changling City. He also has hundreds of good men under his command, and he has some unclear connections with the rangers and gangsters. It was not a last resort, and he did not fall out with him at all. necessary.

"Just follow Master Bai's wishes." He smiled, but his eyes when looking at Luo Qianhuai were as cold as knives.

Bai Ming was overjoyed: "Just take a look!"

He turned his head and said, "Hang Mrs. Luo up for me!"
