Chapter 1754: These Two Girls Are So Fierce
"Really?" someone asked with a mix of hope and uncertainty.
Shu Yu nodded, "The Emperor is wise and just. He won't indiscriminately kill the innocent. So, when I ask you questions later, just answer truthfully."
"Yes, yes, Miss. You can ask, and we'll tell you everything."
the constable Hong and the others exchanged glances, seemingly contemplating something.
Before long, one constable stood up and said, "Miss, ask me first. I'm innocent. My family is waiting for me to be released so we can reunite. I know nothing about their actions."
Shu Yu looked at the man, "What's your name?"
"Fang Qi."
Shu Yu smiled, "Fang Qi? The neighbor of Liu, the new concubine of County Magistrate Cheng's brother? Five days ago, you patrolled the magistrate's residence and stayed there for over two hours. As far as I know, not many people can enter County Magistrate Cheng's private residence. Why did you spend so much time inside? Were you delivering meat to the black market?"
Fang Qi's face turned pale.
Shu Yu chuckled, "Did you think you could fool me? Did you think that I, as a young lady, would be swayed by a few cries of hardship? For someone like you, who's trying to act up even at the brink of death, your crimes are even worse. Take him away and interrogate him thoroughly."
Soon, an official temporarily assigned to the dungeon stepped forward, opened the cell door, and pulled Fang Qi out.
Fang Qi took a deep breath, his mind blank, and without a second word, he knocked the official over and dragged his shackled body toward the exit of the cell.
Seeing this, constable Hong, who was in the same cell, was about to follow suit.
Shu Yu coldly sneered, "Ying Xi."
Ying Xi turned and kicked constable Hong back, and as he fell to the ground with a thud, she delivered another kick to his groin.
"Ahh…" constable Hong cried out in agony, and the others who had been planning to escape were suddenly startled.
Meanwhile, Shu Yu raised her wrist, and with a swift motion, she released a sleeve dart that struck Fang Qi's shoulder directly.
Fang Qi stumbled and fell, and the nearby official quickly pounced on him, pinning him down firmly.
Shu Yu retracted her hand, scanned each cell one by one, and finally fixed her gaze on constable Hong, who was lying on the ground in pain, sweating on his forehead. "Anyone else wants to give it a try?"
The crowd couldn't help but swallow nervously. Were these two girls really this fierce?
Shu Yu raised the sleeve dart in her hand, "I don't know what you all are thinking. You're wearing handcuffs and shackles, yet you still want to escape? Can you outrun the sleeve dart in my hand? I'm not afraid to tell you that since I'm responsible for interrogating you, I also have the right to shoot you on the spot. If you really provoke me, I can just not ask any questions. After all, it was you who tried to escape first, and I would have a legitimate reason for killing you."
The individuals who had originally been standing by the bars unconsciously took two steps back, looking nervous as they watched her.
Shu Yu sneered, "So, either cooperate obediently and confess everything you need to, so you can strive for a lighter punishment later. You all have families, right? Parents, wives, children? Even if you don't care about yourselves, don't you think about them?"
Many of them lowered their heads. After all, not everyone was heartless enough to disregard their families. Most of them ended up on the wrong path because they either had compromising information held against them, harbored ambitions, or were unwittingly manipulated by others.
