Chapter 198 Visiting Qin Huai Again
"I hope to see you before noon." Wan Yangui let go of Qin Qing, already confident of victory, "Remember my words, hush——"
Wan Yangui left with a smile, and Su Luo hurried to Qin Qing's side, "What did he say?"
Qin Qing's lips moved, and she shuddered as she thought of Wan Yangui's words, "He said...he said...he wanted to marry me."
Su Luo asked anxiously: "I heard this, what did he say in your ear?"
Qin Qing bit her lower lip tightly, holding back the tears in her eyes, and continued: "He said he wanted to marry me, that's all he said."
Su Luo shook his head. "I don't believe it. He must have said something else, otherwise he wouldn't be so sure."
Qin Qing said nothing, but just shook her head, "I, I have to go back and prepare."
Su Luo grabbed Qin Qing's arm and squeezed it tightly, "You are crazy! He doesn't want to marry you, he wants you to go to him! Your brother will be so angry if he knows!"
Qin Qing struggled to break free from Su Luo and cried, "My brother will die if I don't go!"
"He threatened you, didn't he? What did he say?" Su Luo seemed to see a ray of hope again. "If you tell us, we will have a way. I am the princess, and there is him," Su Luo pointed at Liu Chengxuan, "His aunt is the queen mother, and he is helping us now. As long as you tell us, we will definitely have a way!"
Qin Qing was shaken for a moment, but she quickly shook her head, "No, he didn't say anything else. I...I want to go back."
Qin Qing turned around and ran away regardless of everything. Mrs. Qin stood there in a daze, not saying a word from beginning to end, her clothes soaked with tears.
"This is retribution..." She murmured, "Why isn't it happening to me? I was the one who came up with that idea back then..."
Looking at Madam Qin's appearance, Liu Chengxuan's eyes were filled with sadness. He took a long breath and then slowly exhaled, "Everything has an end, which only hurts those who are still alive...Xu'er, Xu'er, you left behind so much resentment. Is this what you hoped for?"
Su Jiang heard his whisper and looked at him in astonishment. Liu Chengxuan smiled softly and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to see Qin Huai."
Su Luo was worried about Madam Qin's condition. Madam Qin wiped her tears and seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. She leaned on Su Jiang's shoulder, as if she had been squeezed out of her last bit of strength. " Let's go, go see Huai'er. If we have to die, let's die together."
Su Jiang said: "You guys go ahead, I'll go see Qin Qing."
Liu Chengxuan grabbed her sleeve and let go before she looked back, "I'll go."
Liu Chengxuan used some unknown method to knock on the door of the Dali Temple prison that was locked up for Su Luo, and then left. It was unknown whether he went to the Qin Mansion or the Wan Mansion.
They entered the prison and followed the jailer for a few steps when another jailer came towards them, followed by two people. When they came closer, Su Luo was overjoyed, because the two people were Zhou Chongwen and Cui Zhuangyuan.
The jailer leading Su Luo and the others said, "They have the emperor's decree to see the prisoner Qin Huai."
Handwritten order? Su Luo and Su Jiang looked at each other. They didn't know Liu Chengxuan actually had such a thing.
Zhou Chongwen said to Cui Zhuangyuan: "I will go with them and see if we can find other suspicious points."
With just one sentence, he refused Cui Zhuangyuan's invitation to go with him. Fortunately, Cui Zhuangyuan was not Wang Bangyan, so he did not have so many opinions. He just bowed and said, "Then Cui will go first. We will see each other tomorrow when the court is in session."
Cui Zhuangyuan left, and Su Luo couldn't wait to ask: "What happened? Was Zhang Tie really beaten to death?"
Zhou Chongwen sighed, "Zhang Tie's internal organs showed signs of being shattered. From the current perspective, he was indeed killed by a severe external force." As he spoke, he led Su Luo and others to Qin Huaijian.
Qin Huai sat in the corner with his head down. Although his face could not be seen clearly, he looked very weak. Su Luo 's eyes were red again. Madam Qin could not help but called out, "Huai'er..."
Qin Huai's body trembled, and he quickly raised his head. Seeing that Su Luo and the others had complicated expressions on their faces, he slowly stood up and walked behind the fence, smiling softly, "You are here."
This is nonsense, but now no one thinks it is nonsense. What else can we say at this time?
Mrs. Qin leaned against the fence and held Qin Huai's hand tightly, wiping his hand with the handkerchief in her hand. She could only hear soft sobs, but she did not dare to speak.
Qin Huai reached out to wipe away the tears on his mother's face, then looked up and said, "Where's Qing'er? Didn't she come?"
Madam Qin tried not to cry out loud. Seeing that no one spoke, Su Luo said, "She had some kind of evil wind last night and couldn't get out of bed this morning. Don't worry, the doctor said she'll be fine in a few days."
Qin Huai's expression slowly turned into sadness, but the corners of his mouth were raised, and he said in an almost doting tone: "You lied..."
Su Luo bit her lower lip, tears rolling down her cheeks. Madam Qin finally couldn't hold back her tears and fell to the ground. Qin Huai looked even more sad and helped Madam Qin up, "Mother, you can't make me worry anymore."
Madam Qin sobbed and tried to hold back her tears, but she failed. Su Luo asked, "Do you still remember the force you used? When I arrived, the two disciples were fine. They screamed loudly, but they didn't look seriously injured at all."
Qin Huai lowered his head, avoiding Su Luo's gaze, and half turned around, "I don't remember, at that time I... lost my mind."
Su Luo witnessed Qin Huai's actions that day with her own eyes. She was so panicked that she did n't know what to do. If she hadn't stopped him, she would have probably beaten the yamen runners as well.
"No, there must be a problem!" Su Luo made himself firmly believe this, and made himself firmly believe that Qin Qing was forced by Wan Yangui, and the reason for the coercion must be related to Qin Huai's case.
Zhou Chongwen silently handed over a handkerchief. Su Luo took it, but the more she wiped, the more tears she shed. Zhou Chongwen frowned and said with some heartache: "Don't cry, there are still doubts in the case. After all, Zhang Tie vomited blood and died several days later. It may not be Brother Qin's fault. Maybe there are other reasons we don't know. But..."
Zhou Chongwen hesitated, and Su Luo asked anxiously: "But what?"
"Alas. But Brother Qin refused to defend himself. As the saying goes, 'If the evidence is revealed, the truth is not to be suspected.' This means that Brother Qin's confession is very important."
Su Luo slapped the fence and shouted, "Did you hear me?"
Qin Huai understood Su Luo's anxiety, but still said: "How can I testify to something that I can't even confirm myself?"
"But it's possible that Zhang Tie wasn't beaten to death by you!" Su Luo held onto the fence and thought for a long time, then turned to ask Zhou Chongwen: "Have you determined the cause of Zhang Tie's death? Was he definitely beaten to death?"
"We can only infer from the vomiting of blood that the internal organs were ruptured, and then we can infer that it was caused by severe injuries."
Su Luo was stunned for a long time, "Can we make a final decision based on just inferences?"
Zhou Chongwen sighed, "The coroner examined Zhang Tie's body and found that he indeed had many bruises from being beaten."
"But there is no direct relationship between bruises and ruptured internal organs, right? We can't say that Zhang Tie's internal organs were broken by Qin Huai just based on the bruises. How about this, you... you..." Su Luo thought for a long time, "You ask the coroner to dissect the body. If the internal organs under the bruises are not broken, it can prove that Qin Huai didn't beat him to death, right?"
Zhou Chongwen's face turned slightly pale. "What did you say?"
Su Luo thought Zhou Chongwen didn't understand, so he said it again. Zhou Chongwen shook his head in frustration, "That's impossible."
"Why?"
