Chapter 108: Let me go!

Upon hearing that his illness could be cured, Qin Liuye, even though he was kneeling on the ground, still made a bowing and scraping posture: "Divine Physician! Whatever you want me to promise, say it quickly! Say it quickly!"

Seeing Qin Liuye so humble in order to get his illness treated, Lin Jiaojiao knew she had him in her grasp, so she said loudly: "I want you to promise to tell me the whereabouts of the stolen money from back then!"

After speaking, she added: "The truth about the Lin family unjust case of the Ministry of Revenue back then is known to everyone. I want to know the whereabouts of the stolen money from back then!"

As soon as these words were out, the guards behind her looked at each other, while Qin Liuye looked like a frosted eggplant, his face revealing a mask of pain.

Even the servant beside him, with his head lowered, looked wilted, and even remembered the fear of being interrogated, shrinking back.

"That! Prime Minister Su came to ask me! Dali Temple Minister Song Shijie came to investigate! And Brocade Guard Xiao Yifei also came to find me!"

"The Prince of Jin's Mansion really can't find anything anymore!"

"The whereabouts of the stolen money back then were all handled by my father. My father passed away long ago. At that time, I was not yet fifteen. I only knew that my father kept those receipts in a secret room in the study. I don't know anything else!"

"Lin Guniang, I know you are deeply involved in the unjust case from back then, but those receipts for the stolen money had already disappeared before Prime Minister Su came to my Prince of Jin's Mansion to investigate!"

After listening to his complaints, Lin Jiaojiao felt very frustrated!

That Pei Aosong was just a straw bag. If he could find clues, it was likely that someone had already investigated the evidence!

She knew Song Shijie would investigate, and she also knew the Brocade Guard were the Emperor's people, but she never expected Prime Minister Su to have acted even earlier!

Even so, the whereabouts of the stolen money were still unknown!

"Since that is the case, then don't even think about getting this prescription." Seeing that Qin Liuye couldn't give her any useful evidence, Lin Jiaojiao had no intention of giving him the prescription.

"Don't!" Qin Liuye was suddenly anxious. He stood up and wanted to grab the prescription: "Divine Physician, Female Hua Tuo! Female Medical Saint! Since you have already written the prescription, I will give you the silver, but you must give me the prescription!"

"As for your silver, I dare not take it. What if it is the stolen money from back then?" Lin Jiaojiao looked at his greasy face and began to question: "How can you, the Prince of Jin, have so much wealth? It is likely that not a single cent on you is clean!"

"That can't be!" Qin Liuye cried with a sad face, "Why does everyone think my Prince of Jin's money is not clean! Although I am addicted to women, I also have hundreds of fat shops opened in various places. The money is all earned from business. Where does the stolen money come from!"

"If you don't believe me, go and investigate!"

"My father only killed a few prostitutes back then, and there were a few lives on his hands. But that Xu Xiao used this to threaten him, and gave my father a stack of receipts to keep. As for when he would come to take them, he never mentioned it!"

Speaking of this, Qin Liuye waved his sleeves in anger, "That old man did a good job. He died and it was clean, but it harmed me. I have been interrogated every day, and even how many maids and concubines have entered and left the mansion have been investigated thoroughly!"

"I can tell you clearly, I have a handle on things, and I have never taken any lives!"

But how could Lin Jiaojiao believe his bullshit! Since the old Prince was not a good person, then he, the Prince of Jin, would not be any better! Even the fat shops he opened were likely doing business by passing off fish eyes as pearls, or by forced buying and selling!

Thinking of this, Lin Jiaojiao had no more interest and turned to leave, returning to Qingju Pavilion!

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't go! Don't go!" Qin Liuye was so anxious he wanted to rush through the palace gate, but the guards at the palace gate stopped him, "Prince of Jin, the Emperor has ordered that the Prince of Jin is not allowed to enter the Huang Gong again. Offense taken!"

Seeing Lin Jiaojiao walking away, he was stopped outside the palace gate again, and he shouted loudly, "I have clues! I have clues! That Xu fellow secretly raised a few dead soldiers. It is likely that the dead soldiers took those receipts in advance!"

Lin Jiaojiao stopped in her tracks: That Xu Xiao actually raised dead soldiers!

It was not strange that he raised dead soldiers. Since he embezzled military pay back then, he must have needed someone to handle relevant matters in secret to clear himself!

Lin Jiaojiao turned back and asked, "Do you know who his dead soldiers are?"

Qin Liuye frowned anxiously, "I don't know, it seems to be called something like A, B, C, D!"

"By the way, the one called something like Ding, seems to have a house in the Capital—" Qin Liuye frowned and recalled, but suddenly, a "whoosh" sound came from mid-air, and an arrow flew from behind him, hitting his heart directly and piercing through his chest!

"There is an assassin!" In an instant, the guards at the gate shouted, and some immediately ran to call more guards to alert the palace gate!

Before Qin Liuye could finish speaking, his eyes widened. He wanted to turn his head to see who had shot him through the heart, but his body felt as if it had been emptied, and he could only watch the blood drip from the sharp arrow tip to the ground, his life slipping away from his body.

He cast a look of help toward Lin Jiaojiao: "Divine Physician, save me..."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Qin Liuye fell to the ground with a thud!

The servant beside him was so scared his legs went soft and he almost knelt on the ground. When he reacted, he abandoned his master and fled!

Lin Jiaojiao rushed forward, wanting to go over to check Qin Liuye's vital signs and save him, but at this moment, a second arrow was shot out. This time the target was Lin Jiaojiao!

Seeing the second arrow about to shoot through the palace gate, she—

"Dodge quickly!" The guard beside her immediately drew his sword and moved forward. Lin Jiaojiao hurriedly dodged quickly, the guard deflected the arrow, and another person pulled her to hide inside the palace, finding a cover!

"Lin Guniang, lower your head quickly!" No sooner said than done, the guard's words had just fallen, and she had just lowered her head and bent her waist when an arrow grazed the top of her head!

"There is an assassin outside the palace! Catch the assassin!" The guards shouted and waved their hands. In an instant, the guards at the gate hurriedly pushed the gate, closing the palace gate and blocking the arrows outside the thick door!

While Lin Jiaojiao was still in shock, two guards protected her on the left and right, running and walking to quickly take her away from the straight path, using the eaves as cover to take her toward Qingju Pavilion.

While running fast, she heard the sound of running from all directions in the palace, and the guards were mobilizing troops, gathering in unison and running outside the palace gate to search for the assassin! ===== CHAPTER 109 =====
