Concubine's true colors

Chapter 53
The sixth prince who stayed in the mansion naturally didn't know all this. He was still waiting for Mrs. Song's return, but he didn't know that his good cousin was suffering from inhuman torture.

Just as he was waiting impatiently in the room, suddenly a servant ran in, his face full of panic.

"Sixth Prince, Madam asked me to tell you, go to the cell quickly, the county magistrate may die."

Hearing this, the sixth prince can't stay still, Qian Yingluo is going to die, and he will have to shed his skin if he returns to Beijing, even if the other party is still alive, he has to try his best to save him.

But in a panic, he didn't relax his vigilance, and looked suspiciously at the servant who came to report the letter.

I saw this person, very young, about eighteen or nineteen years old, although his face was not outstanding, but his eyes were clear and handsome, and he was very energetic.

"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before? You said Mrs. Song called you here, but you have evidence."

There was an inexplicable sadness in the man's eyes, and he lowered his head and said: "I am the servant who drives the horse in the mansion. Madam is very kind to me. She is afraid that people around her will report the news and it will attract others' attention. Come report."

After the servant finished speaking, he took out a pearl ring from his bosom.

The sixth prince recognized at a glance that this was the one Mrs. Song was wearing just now, because Mrs. Song seemed to have a habit of turning the ring on her hand when she spoke, which left a deep impression on him.

Now the sixth prince had no doubts in his heart, and he didn't bother to restrain his feet and think about it, so he hurried out of the mansion.

He also can't care about Zhou Xianrui at this meeting, if something happened to Qian Yingluo, without the help of the fifth elder brother, he would not be able to pass the test of Huai'an Hou Mansion.

After the servants led the sixth prince into the prison, Zhou Xianqi felt that something was wrong after walking tens of meters, because there was no one guarding the place, and there was a dead silence all around, and a strong sense of uneasiness hit his heart.

Stand still, the sixth prince is not leaving, looking at the back of the servant in front of him, his heart trembled for no reason.

"Who are you? What do you want to bring me here? The prince is going back. I want to meet Mrs. Song face to face."

After he finished speaking, he was about to leave, but the moment he turned around, the servant laughed sinisterly.

"Who am I? I've already said that I'm a horse driver in the Song residence. What's wrong with your highness? Don't you want to see how the county magistrate is doing? You're her cousin!"

This time the man was talking, his lowered head slowly lifted up, looking into the eyes of the sixth prince, there was a dead silence.

And his hand slowly reached into his arms, and then saw him take out a blood-stained hairpin, clenched it tightly and lifted it up, and stared fiercely at the sixth prince in an instant.

Then, seeing this servant, he quickly ran towards the sixth prince, and the hairpin stabbed viciously.

The sixth prince had already noticed something was wrong.Dodging sideways, avoiding the danger, the two of them scuffled together in an instant.

The sixth prince knew how to punch and kick, and holding the hairpin in his backhand, he stabbed fiercely at the servant. The servant grunted, and a blood hole appeared on his shoulder.But the hand holding the hairpin just refused to let go.

The other party's desperate effort also frightened the sixth prince, but the more anxious he was, the more difficult it would be to escape.

Just when the two were entangled together, and no one could do anything to the other, suddenly there was a sound from the door of the cell, followed by the sound of many footsteps, coming from far and near.

The sixth prince was overjoyed, he thought it was the guards who came, but before he opened his mouth to call for someone to come over, the servant took the first step and shouted for help.

"The sixth prince killed someone, help me, someone is dead, the county master of Yuanning was killed by the sixth prince."

This time, while shouting, the man mustered all his strength, pushed the sixth prince away, and ran out.

At the corner, he suddenly collided with a group of people, and he was knocked to the ground, and he was stopped in his tracks.

The sixth prince reacted from the shock, and hurriedly chased after him.

When he saw clearly who was blocking the servant, his face turned pale in an instant, and he saw Zhou Xianrui and many officials standing at the corner facing each other, looking at him quietly.

Zhou Xianrui glanced at the sixth prince, then lowered his head to look at the servant, the coldness on his face became even worse.

"Sixth brother, why are you here? If I remember correctly, you shouldn't reflect on yourself in the Song Mansion, and what does this person mean by what he said, and what did you do to Yuanning County Lord!"

When the sixth prince heard this, he waved his hands again and again.
"Fifth brother, don't listen to that person's nonsense. I heard that Yingluo was tortured and her life was in danger, so I came here to take a look, but this person picked up the hairpin and was about to assassinate me. He deserves to die." .”

The servant of the Song Mansion who was kneeling on the ground sharply pointed at the sixth prince, his eyes were full of grief and indignation.

"His Royal Highness, my name is Qi Hua, and I am a servant of the Song Mansion. His Highness Six insisted on letting me accompany him, but I never thought that he would stab the county magistrate to death, and now he will kill me. , look at the injury on Xiao Xiao's shoulder, which was caused by the sixth prince, and the hairpin that did the murder is still in the hands of the sixth prince, His Highness can tell at a glance."

The officials who followed Zhou Xianrui were supposed to accompany him to inspect the cell today, but who would have thought that such an accident would happen.

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at the sixth prince, and sure enough, they saw that the other party was holding a hairpin that was still dripping with blood. Anyone who watched this scene couldn't help but believe that what the servant said was true.

The sixth prince was in a panic, but when he realized it, he immediately dropped the hairpin.

"Fifth Brother, I've never done this before. I haven't even seen Ying Luo's face yet. My lords want to restore my prince's innocence."

These officials who followed were basically the Second Highness's people, so naturally they couldn't look at the sixth prince and be convicted in front of his own eyes.

They exchanged glances with each other, and finally it was Song Peng who came forward.

"Your Highness, what happened today, in my opinion, is really weird, not to mention that the sixth prince and the county master are cousins, and he has no reason to do so."

Zhou Xianrui nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Master Song's words are not unreasonable, but the most important thing now is to make sure that the next county magistrate is all right. I must find out what happened today."

After he finished speaking, he took the lead and walked forward. When everyone came to Qian Yingluo's cell, they saw the cell door was wide open, the floor and the wall were covered with blood, and Qian Yingluo also fell face up on the ground, her eyes widened. His face was covered with blood, and he had obviously been dead for a long time.

Seeing the scene in front of him, the sixth prince rushed straight over, his face full of grief and indignation.

"Yingluo, cousin is late, whoever hurt you so badly, wake up and tell cousin!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, the servant named Qi Hua immediately snorted coldly.

"Your Highness, don't act any more. The county magistrate's current situation is not all caused by you. You are afraid that she will confess your things in this cell, so you will kill people to silence her, and you will kill the younger one. Pretend to be The illusion that I killed the county lord and committed suicide in fear of crime, you are really poisonous."

At this time, Zhou Xianrui, who was watching these coldly, raised his eyebrows.

He asked with interest: "You said that my sixth brother murdered and silenced me, so I am very curious, what happened to make you so panicked, sixth brother."

The sixth prince wanted to refute, but Qi Hua didn't give him a chance at all, and opened his mouth first.

"Prince Rui is wise, the sixth prince wanted to kill me, so he didn't shy away from speaking. He admitted that the minced meat incident a few years ago was actually planned by him alone. Mansion, the young lady was defiled by others, he was also instigated, he was afraid that the county magistrate would recruit them all, so he came here to kill people."

Song Peng listened anxiously. If the words were to be confirmed, he might be implicated. Don't forget that the sixth prince came to Yangzhou, but they all lived with him.

Therefore, he stared and said: "Don't talk nonsense, the county lord has been locked up for so long, if His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness wants to silence him, why did he do it now, and he came here in person, isn't he waiting to be caught and revealed? You think we are all stupid people, if this is the case, who will believe you."

Song Peng's words made the sixth prince see hope, so he nodded repeatedly and said, "Master Song is right, and Mrs. Song can testify to me about today's matter, because Mrs. Song invited me to come here today." of."

Song Peng, who was originally calm and relaxed, was frightened to death when he heard these words. He didn't know why the sixth prince dragged his wife into the water.

But Zhou Xianrui smiled when he heard the words, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"It turns out that the sixth brother still has witnesses. If that's the case, then Mrs. Xuan Song will come over and ask to know what's right and what's wrong."

After he finished giving his orders, Madam Song came to the prison half an hour later panting slightly.

When she came here, when she saw Qian Yingluo in the prison with a miserable death, she screamed and hid behind Song Peng.

"Master, who is the dead man? It's terrible. Your Highness, why did you come to me? Can we talk about it in another place?"

But before anyone could speak, the sixth prince rushed to Mrs. Song as if seeing a savior, and grabbed her immediately.

"Mrs. Song, look at this Qi Hua. He is not a servant of the Song family. He wronged me for killing the county magistrate. Please tell my fifth brother clearly that I have never been here before. It is all Madam." came to visit for me."

Until now, the sixth prince has not doubted Mrs. Song at all. After all, there is Song Peng's relationship. How could he have thought that Mrs. Song has long been disappointed with this cold-blooded husband. As long as she can get revenge, she doesn't care what Song Peng will do.

Mrs. Song was terrified, and then tremblingly pushed the sixth prince's hand.

"Your Highness Six, what are you talking about? I went to Baoyan Temple to pray for blessings early this morning. The guards brought me here from there just now. When will I visit the county magistrate for you? Don't talk nonsense .”

The sixth prince was completely dumbfounded. Looking at Mrs. Song who was so natural and said such words, he suddenly felt that a huge net was slowly tightening him, and he had nowhere to escape.

Looking at the stupid sixth prince, Mrs. Song was terrified on the face, but sneered in her heart, none of you accomplices can escape.

She went back to the mansion today to look for the sixth prince. Except for Ji Lingfeng, no one else knew that she was going back. Don't forget that she has been in charge of the Song Mansion for decades. It is not difficult for her to go back quietly.

As for the only witness, Ji Lingfeng, no one knew that he was a member of the sixth prince. Even if he stood up and told the truth, no one would believe him.

Therefore, in today's round, the sixth prince can only admit defeat, without even the slightest chance of turning over, even if the opponent is the prince, but she has a killer move that is useless, today she not only wants Qian Yingluo to die, but also wants Zhou Xianqi to never turn over again!
