Fantasy: After three years in prison, the dude is out Chapter 008

sighed, “Things have come to this, there’s no point in arguing! It was indeed a conspiracy between Cui He and me to kill her. The ‘Fragrant Beauty’ was what I gave to Qian Xiang, and the ‘Sleeping Dream Snow’ was what I asked Cui He to bring.”

The moment Xie Weilou mentioned ‘Fragrant Beauty’ and ‘Sleeping Dream Snow,’ he knew that he and Cui He had no chance of turning the tables.

“Then what was your real reason for killing her?”

A captain of the constables asked with a stern face.

He had sympathized with just now, but he didn’t expect the situation to reverse in the blink of an eye, making him extremely displeased, feeling like he had been deceived.

said indifferently, “Reason? It’s simple! Qian Xiang pretended to be a pure and innocent person to deceive me. Actors are heartless. All that ‘selling art but not selling herself’ was fake. In private, she was playing around with a bunch of men, which made me very angry. She shouldn’t have, after deceiving my feelings, she even deceived my money. She deserved to die!”

“Those three thought they had killed Qian Xiang and wanted to frame me, but they really did guess right. Qian Xiang’s death was indeed related to me.”

“Why did Cui He conspire with you to kill her?”

Xie Weilou looked at .

“Because I hate her!”

Before could answer, Cui He immediately spoke.

“Oh?”

Xie Weilou stared at Cui He.

Cui He smiled self-deprecatingly, “Qian Xiang and I were originally from the same village. In those years of famine, we had no choice but to enter the brothel. Being brothel women, we were already disgraceful, and even more afraid to let our families know what we were doing.”

She said with a painful expression, “But when I went home some time ago, I found out that my affairs had already spread throughout the village. My elderly mother, after learning about this, was even angered to death. And this was all Qian Xiang’s doing. She had already told the villagers about my affairs! Naturally, I couldn’t let her go.”

“This matter seems to be true.”

Some of the girls at the door immediately said.

Qian Xiang and Cui He were indeed from the same place. Cui He had returned home some time ago, and she was extremely sad after returning. At that time, Qian Xiang had told them that Cui He’s family had found out about her being a prostitute.

Now that they thought about it, Qian Xiang’s remarks at the time were obviously full of schadenfreude.

“If that’s the case, then it’s barely justifiable.”

Xie Weilou nodded lightly, but many things, coming from the mouths of others, were not necessarily all true, possibly half true and half false.

A captain of the constables looked at , “Back to the previous question, , why did you agree to take the blame for those three? You can’t keep saying that you were afraid they would kill your whole family, right?”

“Of course not! Why do you think we reported the case to the Tianquan Division this time?”

smiled strangely, “If this case fell into the hands of those good-for-nothing officials in the Jingzhao Prefecture, they would take the money and do their job, and I would definitely die. But if it fell into the hands of the Tianquan Division, it would be different. I first accepted the hush money according to their request, and then I secretly asked Qian Xiang to find someone to report the case to the Tianquan Division.”

He then said with a smug expression, “I knew that once the Tianquan Division investigated this case, they would definitely find loopholes in my words. Then I would follow the trend and guide you to investigate those three. At that time, I could clear my name, and those three would definitely die. This is called turning defeat into victory! It’s a pity, I was still discovered.”

“You did so much just to kill one Qian Xiang? How much of your words are credible?”

A captain of the constables asked with a stern face.

‘s expression was extremely serious as he said, “The more one tries to make things seamless, the more complicated they naturally become. Moreover, this is a plan to kill four birds with one stone. That slut Qian Xiang, she deserves to die. Those three are not good people either. Relying on their power and influence, they engaged in despicable acts with Qian Xiang and even wanted me to confess. They won’t get any benefits either.”

It was already difficult to refute his and Cui He’s affairs.

But those three were not innocent either. In any case, Qian Xiang died while flirting with them in bed, and they couldn’t escape the blame.

‘Fragrant Beauty’ plus ‘Sleeping Dream Snow’ could indeed take a person’s life, but how could you be sure who strangled Qian Xiang when she had her last breath?

Lin Qinghuang, seeing this, said indifferently, “Detain and Cui He. I will personally escort them back. Also, arrest Ma Huai and the other three. There is still something wrong with this matter that needs to be investigated carefully!”

This case was indeed not right. It was basically certain that and Cui He were indeed the murderers of Qian Xiang, but they were obviously just knives. There was probably another hand behind them.

But these things obviously couldn’t be investigated in detail here. There were too many people talking. It was better to go back to the Tianquan Division!

“Yes, ma’am!”

Two captains of the constables immediately took action.

————

After the people from the Tianquan Division came out, the guests in the Huansha Brothel also noticed something was wrong and left one after another.

Xie Weilou walked out of the Huansha Brothel. The goose feather snow was still falling, and the cold wind was blowing, merging with the hazy lights, obscuring his vision.

There were still vendors on the street, setting up stalls and breathing out hot air.

For them, life was already difficult, and other things that were irrelevant to them would not affect them.

Lin Qinghuang looked at Xie Weilou, “Still that question, why did you destroy my Lin family? Or do you know something?”

Xie Weilou looked at Lin Qinghuang, smiling, “Qinghuang, it’s cold. You can’t wear so little, you’ll easily catch a cold. How about going to my Zhenxi Marquis’s mansion? I’ll buy you a fox fur coat! My bed is big, soft, and warm.”

“……”

Lin Qinghuang glanced at Xie Weilou with an indifferent expression and turned to leave.

In three years, she had asked this question countless times, and Xie Weilou’s answer had never been serious.

Xie Weilou looked at Lin Qinghuang’s back, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

This case in the Huansha Brothel seemed to be just a love affair, but it was far from as simple as it seemed, because ‘Fragrant Beauty’ appeared!

How could a poor scholar get such a thing? Moreover, that poor scholar had also scraped together five hundred taels of silver.

For the rich, five hundred taels was just a small amount, but for the poor, they probably couldn’t earn that much silver in their entire lives.

With Lin Qinghuang’s intelligence, she wouldn’t be able to think of these things.

She wanted to personally escort and Cui He……

Xie Weilou walked to a vendor selling small trinkets, picked up a ghost face mask at random, dropped a piece of silver, picked up a black robe next to him, and turned to leave.

————

In an alley, heavy snow was falling, and some lanterns hanging on the houses were constantly shaking, the lights were a little weak, making people feel inexplicably depressed.

Two captains of the constables were escorting and Cui He. Lin Qinghuang was holding a long sword and walking in front, her eyes filled with contemplation.

Woo~

A gust of cold wind came, and snow hit her face.

Lin Qinghuang stopped, her fingers instantly gripping the hilt of her sword.

She looked around and found that four black-clothed men had appeared in front and behind, and four black-clothed men were also on the roofs on both sides, all holding cold blades, and a strong killing intent permeated their bodies.

“Sixteen Xuanhuang Realm experts.”

Lin Qinghuang said inwardly.

The two captains of the constables immediately drew their weapons, their eyes vigilantly staring at the people around them.

“Kill!”

Without any extra nonsense, one of the black-clothed men waved his hand, and sixteen people simultaneously attacked Lin Qinghuang, their cold blades flashing, full of murderous intent.

“……”

A faint light flashed in Lin Qinghuang’s eyes, and an aura of the peak of the Jiasuo Realm erupted from her body. The three-foot green peak was instantly unsheathed, and sword energy swept around.

Boom!

After one sword strike, the sixteen black-clothed men instantly turned into a bloody mist. The bloody mist merged with the heavy snow, indescribably strange.

After crushing these sixteen people, Lin Qinghuang did not relax, because she sensed a powerful aura hidden in the dark.

Clang!

A harsh sound of drawing a knife sounded, and a mysterious man wearing a black robe with gold trim and holding a blood-colored long knife suddenly appeared in front of her.

His figure moved and rushed to Lin Qinghuang. The long knife suddenly slashed down, the blood-colored knife energy raged, majestic and domineering, splitting the snow curtain, causing a long crack to appear on the ground.

Lin Qinghuang immediately waved her sword to resist.

Boom!

The swords collided, an explosion sounded, ice crystals splashed, and white snow melted.

Lin Qinghuang only felt a huge force coming, and her whole body was instantly knocked back ten meters.

“Commander Lin.”

The two captains of the constables saw Lin Qinghuang being knocked away, and their faces changed drastically.

After Lin Qinghuang stabilized her body, a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth, and her expression became extremely solemn, “Mid-stage Tuojiang Realm?”

The mysterious man did not waste any words and slashed at Lin Qinghuang again.

“……”

Lin Qinghuang did not fight head-on, stepping on the white snow, decisively dodging.

The mysterious man seemed to have expected this, and the blade turned around, suddenly inserting into the ground.

Buzz!

Ice and snow splashed, the ground burst, and a powerful blood-colored knife energy erupted, rolling up a ground of white snow, like a herd of horses galloping, with a terrifying pressure, blasting towards Lin Qinghuang.

Lin Qinghuang’s expression condensed, knowing that she couldn’t dodge at all. She gritted her teeth, and with one hand, she pinched the sword tactic, the long sword vibrated, and a ten-meter-long cyan sword energy slashed out.

Rumble!

The cyan sword energy collided with the blood-colored knife energy. The cyan sword energy was instantly shattered, and the terrifying knife energy struck, engulfing Lin Qinghuang.

Lin Qinghuang rushed out of it in an instant. Her cyan dress was stained with blood, she spat out a mouthful of blood, and her face was extremely pale.

“Die!”

The mysterious man’s tone was, he took a step, suddenly appearing in front of Lin Qinghuang, not giving Lin Qinghuang the slightest chance to react, directly slashing down with a knife.

“Commander Lin, be careful.”

The two captains of the constables quickly spoke.

“……”

Lin Qinghuang looked at the long knife slashing down, her pupils constricted. She couldn’t dodge at all at this moment. This knife had already sealed off the world. Once it fell, she would undoubtedly die.

Swoosh!

Just as the long knife was about to slash at Lin Qinghuang, a black long sword instantly flew down from above. The long sword was not unsheathed, but it carried a sharp sword energy, directly taking the mysterious man’s neck.

The mysterious man reacted extremely quickly and immediately withdrew.

Boom!

The long sword stabbed down, blasting into the ground, a powerful swept out, like ripples on the water, causing the surrounding ice and snow to rise and fall.

Ten meters away.

The mysterious man’s body was bent, he held the knife in his right hand, and his left hand used his sleeve to block in front of him. He waved his sleeve, and the powerful was shattered. He raised his head and looked forward.

On that black long sword, a mysterious man wearing a black robe and a ghost face mask appeared. The other party was carrying his hands on his back, silently looking at him.

The person who came was Xie Weilou.

Lin Qinghuang looked at the ghost face man in front of her, slightly stunned, feeling that the other party’s figure was somewhat familiar.

“……”

The mysterious man clenched the blood-colored long knife, his eyes sharpened, and he quickly rushed towards Xie Weilou. The long knife’s blood light flickered, the knife energy shot out, and he slashed out fiercely.

Seeing the mysterious man attacking, Xie Weilou kicked his foot, the long sword still not unsheathed, suddenly stabbing towards the mysterious man, the speed was extremely fast.

The mysterious man’s knife energy was directly defeated. Seeing the long sword stabbing towards him, he immediately waved his knife to block in front of him. The scabbard hit the blade, and the powerful force knocked the mysterious man back more than ten meters.

Xie Weilou instantly stepped forward. He grabbed the long sword, suddenly drew the sword, his body like a ghost, passing by the mysterious man in an instant.

Chih!

A sharp and fierce sword energy the mysterious man’s neck.

Appearing again.

Xie Weilou had already arrived ten meters behind the mysterious man. The Burial Flower Sword in his hand slowly returned to its sheath, and a faintly emerged.

Crack!

The mysterious man’s expression stagnated, the blood-colored long knife in his hand broke, and his head also flew high, blood gushing out, and a headless corpse fell to the ground.

“……”

Xie Weilou didn’t say a word to Lin Qinghuang, and directly flew away.

Lin Qinghuang looked at Xie Weilou’s back, and couldn’t help but feel a little lost.

Who is this person who took action?

Killing a mid-stage Tuojiang Realm expert with one sword, this is definitely a strong person at the late-stage Tuojiang Realm or above.
