Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 377 Confession

In the Dali Temple prison, Cui Bianxu held a stack of confessions in his hands, while behind him Wu Sanniang asked, "Cui Yi, when will you take me back?"

He frowned as he read the confessions over and over again, saying without hesitation, "This case involves too many people. I am only a junior official in the Dali Temple, so naturally I must follow the instructions of my superiors."

"You actually deceived me!"

Wu Sanniang, who was bandaged up like a mummy, had red eyes. Her nails dug into her flesh, causing pain, but it also made her clear her mind: "You never intended to agree to my request from the beginning!"

This damn official is really untrustworthy!

Cui Bianxu didn't think he had any problem at all, and argued with reason and evidence: "I have never agreed to your request. Moreover, living in Chang'an is not easy. I am getting married soon. My wife loves delicious food, so I am afraid the cost will be unavoidable. The salary of the Junior Official of the Dali Temple is limited. How can I afford to support a concubine?"

Wu Sanniang almost vomited blood. Not to mention how much the salary of the Dali Temple Shaoqing was, even the Cui family of Qinghe could not afford to support a concubine!

Cui Yi is too lazy to even find a good excuse to deceive himself!

She felt like she was going to die on the spot from anger.

Cui Bianxu didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. He and Nian Nu would have children in the future. If they accidentally had more than one - which was very likely, he and Nian Nu both looked like they had the potential to have children!

With more children, money will definitely be tight, and you will also need to spend money when you have grandchildren in the future.

Money is needed everywhere here. How could he have the money to secretly bring Wu Sanniang into his backyard as a concubine?

Seeing that she didn't believe him, Cui Bianxu gave her another reason because she was still cooperative: "My wife is weak in nature. You tried to harm her twice in a row last time. I'm afraid she would suffer nightmares if she saw you, let alone just mentioned you."

Wu Sanniang is a cunning woman who is used to deceiving people. She is not an honest person. What if she is given the opportunity to coax Nian Nu away? It is better to find a way to kill her.

Xiao Cui was very safety-conscious and walked out with his hands behind his back, leaving Wu Sanniang behind him, gritting her teeth.

The KPI of reviewing every five days is still missing one scarred man. He has no interest in reviewing this person, and it would be useless to review him. He just needs to pull him out to show up and it's over.

He was very familiar with the temperament of Scarface - he was a death warrior.

There is no need to waste time dealing with the death squad. It would be better to give it to Wang Leisheng to research new torture methods. The equipment of the Dali Temple is a bit outdated, so we should come up with some new tricks to carry out the work.

And most importantly, his sister-in-law and brother-in-law's shop opened today, and he had to go over before it closed to give them a gift, chat with Jiang Shangxian, and research some information on Wu Sanniang...

Just as he was thinking about it, Wang Leisheng and Lu Xingzhou just happened to come out of the interrogation room next door, holding a stack of confessions. Seeing him grinning widely and shaking the papers in his hands, he looked like he was asking for credit: "Shao Qing, Zhou Qiu has confessed!"

"Oh?"

Cui Bianxu took the confession from his hand and said as he walked away, "Are you willing to tell me now? Could it be that you were too lenient earlier?"

"hey-hey."

Wang Leisheng suddenly smiled shyly: "Ding Yuan is the one who has the solution. Otherwise, why do they say that the waves behind push the waves ahead?"

He had no intention of taking all the credit. He gave Ding Yuan a thumbs-up out of loyalty: "Didn't some of the people you brought back die? When Ding Yuan was doing the autopsy, he found two half-dead insects. They were green and covered in eyes. They didn't look like good creatures. I gave one to a subordinate, hehe."

Wang Leisheng rubbed his hands together and laughed obscenely: "I just took out that bug to scare Zhou Qiu, saying I would chop off one of his legs and bathe with it. He was so scared that he confessed everything!"

Lu Xingzhou, standing by, turned pale and stood a distance away from Wang Leisheng. "Shaoqing, Zhou Qiu doesn't know much, especially about that bug. It was Wu Sanniang who created it."

He was really unlucky. He was sent by Ding Yuan to deliver something, but was detained by Wang Leisheng as a laborer. It would have been fine, but he had to face such disgusting things. He even got goosebumps.

Cui Bianxu nodded. He already knew this. "Has there been any progress with Doctor Ning today?"

Of the people he brought out with so much difficulty, only one was left in just five days. How could Cui Bianxu not be angry?

Lu Xingzhou sighed, "There's only one left now. Doctor Ning is keeping him alive with medicine. If we can't find a way, I'm afraid..."

Forget good news, it was all bad news! The other five who hadn't been soaked in medicine were already full of life, waiting outside the Dali Temple cafeteria every day for food, making the cafeteria's food funds a little tight.

He eats so much, like a reincarnated pig.

"Does Wu Sanniang tell me what this bug is? Is there any way to get rid of it?" Lu Xingzhou really didn't want to accompany Ding Yuan to perform the autopsy in the morgue. It was annoying, really annoying. He is a civilian, okay?

Does he have his own dedicated workstation?

Cui Bianxu was helpless about this issue. Wu Sanniang said she didn't know. According to his observation, Wu Sanniang really didn't know.

Her method of casting poison was very crude, and the medicinal bath was only used to enhance people's vitality in a short period of time to resist the invasion of poisonous insects.

It was precisely because of this that she only succeeded in killing Yan Yin.

However, I'm afraid this matter still needs to be investigated more carefully: "We'll talk about it tomorrow. Lu Xingzhou, go and interrogate the remaining one."

"Yes." Lu Xingzhou's indifferent appearance was accompanied by tears in his heart.

Jian Ming had been diligently waiting outside, holding his sword. Seeing him come out, he hurried over and handed him a sachet: "Jiulang, everything is ready. Shall we go over now?"

"kindness."

Giving him an approving look, Xiao Cui rubbed the sachet behind his ears, then on his head and chest, and finally hung it on his saddlebag: "Hurry up, I need to go home early today."

"Yes, Jiulang, there is news from the mansion."

Jian Ming followed closely behind him, tiptoed and whispered, "Li Sheng and the others have sent a letter saying they will be back in Chang'an soon."

"What about the letter?"

Speaking of Li Sheng, Cui Bianxu's mood, which had just been ready to go and congratulate the small noodle shop, was cut short. It took too long, so long that he once thought something went wrong on the way.

You have to know that this time, not counting Huirong, he sent out ten guards.

If so many people were left outside, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Here it is!" Jian Ming quickly took out the letter from his arms and gave it to him.

It was called a letter, but in fact it was just a small wooden barrel with a small note inside.
