“Qin Qian, you are very clever, but you have forgotten the saying that cleverness leads to cleverness. If you were panicking now, I wouldn’t think there was anything wrong with you. But you are too calm, as calm as if you knew all this would happen. Qin Qian, I have no intention of talking more nonsense with you. If you don’t want to suffer, tell me who is behind you, and for the sake of your friendship with my elder brother, I will spare your life.”
Qin Qian was unmoved, “Miss Song this reason is too far-fetched, I am not alarmed because I am open-minded, I have no need to be alarmed about something I have not done.”
Song Wan Yue looked him in the eye, “Xiao Si!”
Xiao Si came in.
“Go find the dean to investigate Qin Qian’s place of origin and send someone on a trip!”
“Yes.”
“There’s no need to ask the dean, I can tell you.”
Qin Qian skillfully stated his place of origin, “My family is considered to be of small repute in the area, you can ask around if you send someone there.”
Song Wangyue’s eyes narrowed, with this reaction from Qin Qian, either he really didn’t poison himself or he had a very strong heart. If it was the latter, there was bound to be a huge conspiracy behind him.
“Please ask Dean to send someone to investigate!”
Little Four withdrew.
Qin Qian looked at Song Wan Yue with a frank expression, “Does Miss Song have anything else to ask? If not, I would like to lie down for a while, today the old gentleman almost fell off the high platform, it was me who even pulled him back, until now this heart of mine is still jumping hard.”
Song Wan Yue said mockingly, “In that case, I still have to thank you for saving maternal great grandfather?”
“I know that Miss Song is anxious to find out who did the poisoning, but I have no grudge against the old man, so why would I want to harm him? Instead of wasting your time on me, Miss Song should go and check out someone else.”
Song Wan Yue’s stared at him, the corners of her mouth hooked up a little, and there was a bitter chill in her eyes, “Since Mr. Qin doesn’t want to eat the punishing wine, then I don’t need to care about your affection with my elder brother, I heard that there are many instruments of torture in the county court, I wonder how many Mr. Qin can survive?”
Qin Qian finally changed his face, “You ……”
“My maternal great grandfather spent his life as a scholar, his peaches and plums filled the world, half of the people in the imperial court were his students, how do you think the county magistrate will treat you?”
Qin Qian’s face changed a few more times.
“You know martial arts, right?”
Qin Qian’s fingers moved slightly, “So what? I was kidnapped as a child and almost torn apart, then my parents asked someone to teach me martial arts, can’t they?”
“Naturally it’s fine ……”, Song Wangyue smiled faintly, but the words she spoke were incomparably cruel, “Do you think if your hand and foot tendons were cut off, would you still be able to perform this martial art?”
“You ……”
“You have one incense stick to think about whether you want to tell the truth, if you do, my promise just now is still valid and I will spare your life for the sake of your love with big brother, if not ……” she paused and looked into Qin Qian’s eyes, saying word by word. “You’ll spend the rest of your life with a waste of time.”
Qin Qian’s pupils contracted violently, he could feel that Song Wan Yue was not scaring him, but would really do that.
When he opened his mouth to say something, he noticed that his lips were trembling, so he simply closed it tightly and did not say a word.
Song Wangyue is not in a hurry either, just sitting there watching him.
As time passed, Song Wangyue’s eyes grew colder and colder.
Qin Qian did not dare to meet her eyes and closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down and quickly think of countermeasures.
“Miss Song.”
A maiden pushed the door in, interrupting the suffocating silence in the room, “The county magistrate is here, Young Master Gu wants you to go over.”
Qin Qian’s eyes snapped open.
Song Wangyue smiled faintly at him and rose unhurriedly, “I suspect that my maternal great-grandfather’s poison was administered by Qin Qian, please also send a few more people to guard him so that he doesn’t escape.”
Fu Zi looked at Qin Qian in shock.
After the old gentleman’s poisoning, they had also suspected Qin Qian, but Song Wan Yue hadn’t been able to check anything from the tealight, and they still thought they were overthinking things.
“It’s best to send the Confucius, who knows martial arts, so ordinary people can’t watch him!”
The scholar was even more shocked, Qin Qian had been at the academy for two years, no matter the scholar or the scholars, none of them knew that he knew martial arts, he was too good at hiding it.
Thinking of this, the master broke out in a cold sweat, turned and ran outside, but when he reached the door and remembered that Song Wan Yue was still alone inside, he returned in a panic, “Miss Song, follow me out first, I will go and call someone right away.”
“How is it going with Prince Qin’s thoughts?”
Song Wangyue asked.
Qin Qian had already regained his blandness, “Since Miss Song has already decided that it was me who poisoned her, it is useless for me to argue any further, do what you want.”
“Qin Qian!”
The teacher couldn’t help but try to persuade him, although Qin Qian was usually poor in his homework, he was good at getting things done and had a good relationship with the teachers, “If you really did the poisoning, just say so, and when the old man wakes up, I will plead for you and ask him to spare you.”
“Thank you for the kindness of the husbandmen, I naturally won’t admit to what I haven’t done.”
“Why are you so stubborn? You must know that if you delay any longer and delay the best time for the old man to cure the poison, his body will not be able to hold out.”
“I repeat, I didn’t do the poison, and since you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do.”
“You ……”
“Let’s go.”
Song Wangyue lifted her foot and walked out, and the husband gave Qin Qian a painful glance and hurriedly followed, locking the door behind him as he walked out of the sheds, and calling two more husbandmen and six of the school’s maids to come over.
Song Wangyue went back to the common room.
“Miss Song, have you found the source of the poison yet?”
The county magistrate asked anxiously.
Song Wangyue swept her gaze over Doctor Yao and shook her head slightly. The County Magistrate’s eyes went black for a moment, as if he saw that his black hat had been removed.
“But I have my doubts about the person.”
The county magistrate’s eyes suddenly stopped blackening, “You say!”
“The scholar from the academy, Qin Qian. He is the one who has been serving tea to the old gentleman for the past three days, and no one else has had access to the old gentleman except him.”
“Where is he?”
“He’s been locked up in the warden’s cell by the dean. ”
“Sheriff Liu! Sheriff Liu!”
No one answered outside.
The county magistrate then remembered that Sheriff Liu had gone to look for evidence with his men, so he hurriedly came outside, not caring about his authority, and shouted at the top of his voice, “Sheriff Liu! The first thing you need to do is to get the money! ……”
When he heard the shout of the county magistrate, he hurriedly ran over with his belt knife, “Master!”
“Go, bring that Qin Qian back to the magistrate’s office, make sure you interrogate me to find out what poison was administered?”
“Yes!”
Sheriff Liu turned around and ran, only to remember that he didn’t know who Qin Qian was, so he turned around again in a hurry, “Master, who is Qin Qian?”
Song Wan Yue came out of the room, “The person who poisoned the old man, I suspect that there is someone behind him, when you take him back later, Sheriff Liu had better make a lot of noise.”
