382 Liu Sanniang Is Terrifying (Part 4)

Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan walked out while Xia Hongyuan frowned.

Wu Changxian nodded at Yi Zilan, who immediately followed Liu Sanniang.

Wu Changxian looked at Liu San’s family and then at Liu Shun, who was pale. He said coldly, “This case will be tried another day. Liu Shun will be detained for the time being.”

Xia Hongyuan glanced at Liu Shun coldly. He had no objection.

Xia Qiluo bit her lip and clenched her fists. “Brother, I’m also very interested in this case. I’ll go too.”

Xia Hongyuan nodded. “Go ahead.”

Xia Qiluo had learned mystic techniques from masters of Cloud Breaking Sect since she was young, so it was not a surprise that she was interested in this case.

After Liu Shun was detained, Wu Changxian looked at Liu San’s family. This family was still in fury. If Liu Shun was not convicted, they would probably not be able to get over the guilt.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, it wasn’t easy to convict Liu Shun. It would take time.

Wu Changxian said, “I’ll definitely get to the bottom of this case. Go back and rest well. As soon as there’s news, I’ll get someone to inform you.”

Madam Bai fainted, and Liu Dashan received thirty flogs.

The whole family was in a bad state.

Liu San glared at Liu Shun’s mother and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart. He said to his sons, “Carry your mother and let’s go back. We need to believe in Sanniang. She will seek justice for Yinniang.”

Liu Shun’s mother snorted disdainfully. When Liu Yinniang was alive, she did not see them caring so much about Liu Yinniang. As soon as she was dead, they immediately kicked up a fuss.

After Liu San and his family left, Wu Changxian glanced at Xia Hongyuan.

Xia Hongyuan said calmly, “Liu Shun is my man. I don’t know anything about what he’s done. He’s causing me trouble, so I want to see him.”

Although Wu Changxian was unwilling to let him see Liu Shun, he could not say no to the Crown Prince. After all, Liu Shun had not been convicted yet. He nodded. “Your Highness, you can naturally see him. Since, this is a serious matter, please help us make Liu Shun confess.”

Liu Shun’s mother called out in a trembling voice. “Your Highness.”

Now, only the Crown Prince could save her son.

Liu Sanniang was clearly determined to send her son to the guillotine.

Liu Shun’s mother was a clever woman. She knew that there must be a reason why Liu Shun was placed in an important position by the Crown Prince. He was useful to the Crown Prince, so the Crown Prince wouldn’t let him die just yet.

Xia Hongyuan glared at Liu Shun’s mother coldly before heading straight to the cell.

Liu Shun’s mother clenched her fists and looked at Xia Hongyuan’s departing figure worriedly. She had lived for decades and was a woman of the world. However, when she arrived in the capital, she realized how small Yong County was. In the capital, dangers lurked everywhere.

Everyone seemed nice and friendly on the surface, but when they saw fit, they would deal you a fatal blow on the back.

She only hoped that the Crown Prince wasn’t one of those people.

Xia Hongyuan went straight to the cell and ordered coldly., “All of you, leave.”

When Liu Shun saw Xia Hongyuan, his eyes lit up. He got down on his knees and said, “Your Highness, please save my life.”

Xia Hongyuan kicked Liu Shun in the shoulder. “I’ve never been embarrassed like this in my life. Liu Shun, what else are you hiding from me?”

Liu Shun endured the pain. When he was useful, Xia Hongyuan treated him with respect. If he lost his value, Xia Hongyuan would kick him out without hesitation.

He had some ability, but in Xia Hongyuan’s eyes, he was still nothing.

Liu Shun rolled on the ground. “No, I… I just have a special fetish. I’ve always known that I’m abnormal. It’s my fault. Please save me, Your Highness! In the future, I’m willing to be your servant.”

As long as he could survive, he would definitely have a chance to make a comeback.

He was really afraid that Liu Sanniang would find out something concrete.

Xia Hongyuan’s eyes were cold. “What else do you know?”

Liu Shun wrote a letter to the Crown Prince, in which he said that one of his men had betrayed him.

After investigating, the Crown Prince found that it was really the case. If not for the fact that he had gotten rid of the betrayer, the betrayer would have continued to inform the Third Prince of his secrets and put him put at a disadvantage.

Liu Shun could predict the future, which was exactly what the Crown Prince needed.

If Liu Shun told him everything, he could avoid a lot of mistakes. The Third Prince was ambitious and was his greatest enemy.

Xia Hongyuan looked at Liu Shun.

Liu Shun’s body trembled as he said, “Your Highness, all secrets can’t be revealed. If I tell you everything, things will change. If you save me, I’ll be your loyal dog. At the critical moment, I can save you.”

Liu Shun was not stupid. If he told him everything, what was the use of him?

The royal family was cold-blooded. Killing someone was not much different from killing an ant.

Xia Hongyuan’s face darkened. He stepped on Liu Shun’s shoulder, pressing his face to the ground. Xia Hongyuan really wanted to stomp Liu Shun to death. He said coldly, “Do you know who I hate the most? People who are ambitious but brainless.”

If Liu Shun had the brains, he would not let anyone catch him red-handed.

If Xia Hongming was as easy to deal with as Liu Shun, it would be much easier.

Liu Shun had difficulty breathing from being stepped on, but he did not dare to resist. The Crown Prince was the only person who could save him at this moment.

Xia Hongyuan raised his foot. Just as Liu Shun was busy catching his breath, Xia Hongyuan stepped on his face. Liu Shun’s body stiffened.

Xia Hongyuan said mercilessly, “You’ve crossed the line, but I’ll try to save you and keep you as a dog.”

Liu Shun’s face twisted and his veins bulged.

His face was rubbed against the ground by Xia Hongyuan. Only when it bled did Xia Hongyuan retract his foot and walk out of the cell.

Liu Shun took a deep breath. His face was burning with pain. He revealed a ferocious look and clenched his fists. As long as he could live, he swore he would find a chance to make a comeback.

Xia Hongyuan left the Ministry of War straight away.

Wu Changxian was a little worried. It was obvious that the Crown Prince wanted to save Liu Shun. This case became even more difficult.

At the thought of Liu Sanniang, Wu Changxian was lost in thought. She did not belong to any sect and was very capable. What did she want to do in the capital?

On the busy street, no one noticed the ashes. Liu Sanniang followed the cluster until it entered a mansion.

She looked at the tall plaque and saw that the words ‘Prime Minister’s Mansion’ were written on it.

There were two stone lions in front of the door.

Yi Zilan caught up with her and frowned when he saw the mansion.

Xia Qiluo arrived there too. She looked at Liu Sanniang aggressively. “Hehe, Miss Liu, are you trying to say that one of the victims is from the Prime Minister’s mansion?”
