Princess Agent: The Sweet Country Girl's Way to Glory - Chapter 274
Chapter 274 Off The Hook
“What? Don’t bully me because I don’t understand the law. If the Dali Temple wants to arrest people, they also need to have a document with their hair down, right?” Su Wanwan sneered and raised her foot to stop the person who was going to help her.
That person staggered, stabilized his body, and stared at Su Wanwan. He pulled out the saber from his waist, “Although your family is a salt merchant, at least they are citizens of the Xia Dynasty. You must obey orders! Otherwise, I will be impolite to you!”
“Heh!” Su Wanwan smiled coldly. Her hand somehow swayed left and right, and the rope actually loosened! In just two seconds, he fell to the ground!
“You actually want to escape!” The man was so shocked that he placed a knife on Su Wanwan’s neck, “Eldest Miss Zhao, you …”
“Shut up!” Su Wanwan looked at him coldly. “I said, if you want to talk to me, you need documents! If you want to arrest me, you need evidence! Now that you have neither of them, I will not cooperate with your empty slander!”
Su Wanwan said as she signaled to the butler, “Call the young and strong men in the manor and drive them out.”
“Yes.” The butler nodded and hurriedly ran out. In just three seconds, more than twenty people appeared and surrounded the constable. Their voices were loud and powerful, “Everyone, are you going to leave by yourselves or shall we’invite ‘you out?”
“…”
The constables looked at each other. They didn’t know what to do. The Zhao Manor was overcrowded. They didn’t have any documents or other things, so they felt that it was wrong. They were a little scared and were about to leave. However, they saw a middle-aged man walking towards them with vigorous steps. “Eldest Miss Zhao! Why don’t you admit your guilt?”
Seeing that this person’s appearance was somewhat similar to Shi Chengshun’s, Su Wanwan concluded that the person who came was the Prime Minister and said, “What does the Prime Minister mean by that? I didn’t kill anyone, so how can I admit guilt? Don’t put on such a hat for me, I can’t afford it.”
A trace of displeasure flashed through Prime Minister Shi’s eyes, but he did not have any evidence or other items in his hands. He said, “You actually still have a hard mouth. Let’s go and see the scene together with me!”
Hearing this, Madam Zhao was unhappy. She knew where Su Wanwan was. How could she not know if Su Wanwan killed her? This matter was fake! However, Prime Minister Shi spoke loudly. Madam Zhao raised his chin and said, “Prime Minister Shi, we will go with you! But you must think about it first. If this matter is fake, you must kneel down and apologize to my daughter!”
“Alright!” Prime Minister Shi replied and looked at Su Wanwan with disdain. His eyes were filled with certainty, “When the time comes, don’t cry and beg me to plead for mercy on your behalf!”
“Heh, wait and see.” Su Wanwan was not afraid. The so-called crime that she wanted to commit was something that could not be ignored. The so-called evidence was also fake. How could she have nothing to say?
Su Wanwan and Madam Zhao rushed to the Prime Minister’s Mansion with a group of servants. At this time, the icy lake of the Prime Minister’s Mansion was already surrounded by many people. When Su Wanwan walked there, many people automatically moved aside. They looked at Su Wanwan with great fear and muttered, “I didn’t expect Eldest Miss Zhao to be the murderer! I really know people’s faces but not their hearts!”
“That’s right!”
“…”
Su Wanwan no longer had any feelings for these words. She was not happy or sad in her heart and walked expressionlessly. Su Wanwan walked to a place covered in white cloth and ordered her servants to lift the white cloth. She saw the corpse of a woman with her face peeled off and a sandalwood hairpin stuck in her chest!
The hairpin looked exactly the same as the one she had worn a few days ago!
I couldn’t find that hairpin yesterday, I didn’t expect it to appear here today!
Su Wanwan was shocked and heard Prime Minister Shi say, “This hairpin was worn when you came to the banquet. Everyone can prove that you have nothing else to say!”
“The hairpin is indeed mine, but … I didn’t kill it.” Su Wanwan stared straight at the deceased without raising her head to look at Prime Minister Shi. In the eyes of the crowd, even if she did not respect the deceased, she did not have the slightest courtesy towards Prime Minister Shi. Moreover, Su Wanwan seemed to be so courageous that she was extremely calm! This was completely in line with the characteristics of the murderer!
Everyone muttered to themselves, their mouths full of discussions about how savage Su Wanwan was, but Su Wanwan calmly looked at the corpse.
Suddenly, Su Wanwan discovered that this woman’s figure was very good. Although she was dead, the skin on her neck was as fair as porcelain! All the features were exactly the same as Shi Qin’er before the illusion!
Su Wanwan frowned and sighed. She closed her eyes and looked at the sky. It was as if she was praying and repenting. When Prime Minister Shi saw her, she sneered and said, “You finally admit it, right?”
“Admit what?” Su Wanwan opened her eyes and looked at him like a fool. She squatted down and said, “I’ve offended you.” She calmly pulled out the hairpin and pointed at the hole. “The hairpin is round and cork. It can’t be inserted so deeply. Besides, there are two obvious saber cuts on the side of the wound. The victim was obviously stabbed to death by the knife and then inserted into the hairpin.”
Hearing this analysis, the people who were discussing with each other shut their mouths and stared at Su Wanwan in shock.
Seeing this, Prime Minister Shi panicked. He picked up the hairpin in Su Wanwan’s hand and said, “If you didn’t kill him, why did your hairpin appear?”
“Shouldn’t I ask you this?” Su Wanwan raised her eyes to look at Prime Minister Shi, “After all, you want to harm me, so the evidence will naturally be ready to wait for me to enter the pit.”
“How could I be such a filthy person!” Prime Minister Shi looked at the woman’s corpse and said with righteous indignation, “Besides, this is my daughter. Why would I use her death to harm you? Your idea is simply too much!”
“Naturally, you’re reluctant to use your daughter to frame me … You’re using someone else’s daughter!” Su Wanwan looked straight at Prime Minister Shi. Obviously, a trace of panic flashed through Prime Minister Shi’s deep eyes. Su Wanwan determined what she was thinking. She pointed at the corpse on the ground and said, “Prime Minister Shi, isn’t this Third Miss Shi?”
“What? Not Sister Shi Xiaosan?” Everyone was shocked when they heard this. After thinking for a while, they did not know who was telling the truth or who was telling the truth.
Su Wanwan squatted down and used her hairpin to turn the head of the deceased to the side. She pointed at the black mole next to the deceased’s ear and said, “I have seen Third Miss once. Her face is white without any impurities. She looks like a fairy. Looking again, this person has such a large mole. How could it be Third Miss Shi herself?”
After saying that, Su Wanwan calmly continued to look. She removed the shoes of the deceased. Seeing the exposed feet, everyone was puzzled. Su Wanwan said, “The cocoons on this foot are very thick and wide. There is mud in the armor. It looks like it is not a young lady’s foot.”
When everyone heard this, their analysis made sense! Prime Minister Shi’s face darkened as he thought to himself, “I didn’t expect Su Wanwan to have the guts to personally examine her and even personally testify on her behalf!”
“Prime Minister Shi, why are you silent? Shouldn’t you kneel down and apologize to my daughter?” Madam Zhao raised his eyebrows and said.
