"Really?" Soone asked, both expectant and uncertain.
Shu Yu nodded, "The Emperor is wise and won’t kill the innocent indiscriminately. So, when I ask you sothing in a mont, just answer honestly."
"Yes, yes, miss, you ask, we’ll speak without holding back."
Constable Hong and the others exchanged looks, seemingly plotting sothing.
Soon, a constable stood up and said, "Miss, you ask first, I’m innocent. My family is waiting for to reunite with them outside, I know nothing of their actions."
Shu Yu looked at that person, "What’s your na?"
"Fang Qi."
Shu Yu imdiately smiled, "Fang Qi? The next-door neighbor of the brother of Ms. Liu, the new concubine of County Magistrate Cheng? Five days ago, when patrolling County Magistrate Cheng’s private residence, you stayed inside for more than two hours. As far as I know, not many people can enter magistrate’s private residence, why did you stay so long? Were you delivering at to the black market?"
Fang Qi’s face changed dramatically.
Shu Yu laughed, "Did you think I was easily fooled? That I’d soften just because you cried a few tears? You, who still want to create trouble when facing death, will face additional punishnt. n, take him out and interrogate him thoroughly."
Soon, officers temporarily taking over the cell ca forward, opened the cell door, and dragged the person out.
Fang Qi gasped, his mind went blank, he said nothing, suddenly knocking down that officer and dragging the heavy handcuffs and shackles, he turned and ran towards the cell’s gate.
Constable Hong, who was in the sa cell, tried to imitate him imdiately.
Shu Yu sneered, "Ying Xi."
Ying Xi turned and kicked Constable Hong back. As he slamd to the ground with a ’thud’, Ying Xi kicked him in the lower body.
"Oww..." Constable Hong let out a miserable scream, and the others who initially wanted to escape shivered.
anwhile, Shu Yu raised her wrist, a sleeve arrow ’swish’ shooting out, directly hitting Fang Qi’s shoulder.
Fang Qi stumbled and fell to the ground, the nearby officers quickly overwheld him, pinning him firmly under them.
Shu Yu withdrew her hand, her eyes sweeping across the other cells, finally resting on the sweat-soaked forehead of the wailing Constable Hong, "Anyone else want to try?"
The crowd involuntarily swallowed hard, thinking, are these two ladies really this fierce?
Shu Yu waved the sleeve arrow in her hand, "I don’t know what you’re thinking, wanting to escape with handcuffs and shackles? Are you faster than the sleeve arrow in my hand? I’m not afraid to tell you, since I’m in charge of interrogating you, I have the right to execute you on the spot. If you really anger , I simply won’t ask questions, since you’re the ones attempting a jailbreak, if I kill you, it’s justified."
Those standing at the railing couldn’t help but step back two steps, watching her nervously.
Shu Yu sneered, "So, you either cooperate obediently and confess everything, then you might have a chance for leniency. You all have families, right? Parents, wives, children? Even if you don’t think for yourself, can’t you think for them?"
Many people lowered their heads; after all, not everyone is cold-hearted, ignoring their families. Most who go astray have either fallen into soone else’s trap or have ambitions to make a future for themselves, or they’ve unwittingly beco soone else’s tool.
