Chapter 336: Chapter 335: Accusing Qin Yi_1

These words gained the absolute support of Magistrate Cao.

"Indeed, indeed, Doctor Su is right! Does Lord Su have any portraits of the outlaws? It will be significantly easier for everyone to hunt them down if we have their pictures."

Wasn’t the culprit right in front of him? Why would he need a portrait?

Su Sikong couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

"Last night was dark and windy. The two outlaws were disguised in night travel clothes and veiled their faces, making it hard to recognize them."

Su Sikong suddenly turned the topic with a smirk: "However, a subordinate of mine said that one of the outlaws is remarkably similar to Scholar Qin in height and body shape. I don’t believe it, of course, but since someone mentioned it, I have to help my nephew-in-law to find evidence and clear his name. Hehe, since Doctor Su has finally woken up, my nephew-in-law must also be awake, right? Why not invite him out for a meeting?"

He sneered at Su Pan’er!

Let’s see how you keep up the act!

Isn’t it clear where your tale is showing?

Now, let’s see what tricks you can use next!

Upon hearing this, the faces of both Jun Ruochen and Magistrate Cao changed as they understood the implied accusation that Qin Yi was under suspicion.

Su Pan’er showed a nonchalant look and grinned slightly.

"What is Lord Su talking about? My husband is just an exhausted scholar. Yesterday, he had to travel far and wide to find the jade hairpin you requested, Lord Su. Naturally, he is still asleep from exhaustion."

"Even if you need to recover, it’s best to invite Scholar Qin out right now! After all, this concerns his reputation and future. It’s better to clarify things sooner rather than later, don’t you agree, niece?"

Su Sikong’s face grew smug.

Hearing Su Sikong’s words and seeing his expression, Magistrate Cao furrowed his brows and his eyes flickered. By now, he understood what Su Sikong was trying to imply.

Jun Ruochen fell silent, shifting his gaze to his sister, as if probing for something.

Su Pan’er raised an eyebrow and looked at Su Sikong: "The innocent is always innocent, and vice versa. What’s the hurry, Lord Su? Is there something else hidden that I’m not aware of?"

"Hehe, whether there is more to the story or not, it seems irrelevant to the big picture! My dear niece, all I’m asking is for my nephew-in-law to make an appearance to prove his innocence, why do you keep avoiding it?"

A victorious smirk stole across the face of Su Sikong!

So what?

Even if he wasn’t successful in his pursuit, so what?

As long as he could prove that Qin Yi was indeed the black-cloaked figure with the poisoned arrow in his left shoulder, wouldn’t everything else fall into place?

"Lord Su is indeed full of words! My husband merely sleeps a little longer, and here you are, pressuring us. What’s your intention?"

Su Pan’er responded with a faint smile: "Last time, you falsely accused me of murdering over a hundred soldiers. Now you’re trying to link my husband to an outlaw. Lord Su, you truly are righteous even if it means sacrificing your family! Resorting to using your own kin at a moment’s notice, how remarkable!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was casting strange glances at Su Sikong.

Her words stabbed at Su Sikong’s heart like a knife, reminding him of the last time he had arrested Su Pan’er. His face turned ashen.

The grinding of his molars filled the room. After quite a while, he managed to suppress his rage and said through clenched teeth, "With regard to our previous altercation, I do admit I acted improperly. Moreover, I paid the price with two punches. Niece, why bring up the past? As you said, the innocent is innocent. Now, I merely wish to help Scholar Qin prove his innocence. Why are you misinterpreting this?"

"Oh! So, Lord Su truly meant well. Even the iron tree blooms and water flows backwards. How unusual indeed!"

Su Pan’er looked at Su Sikong with disbelief, then suddenly laughed. She called out loudly to the room behind her: "Qin Yi, have you finished freshening yourself up yet? Hurry up, Lord Su Sikong seems worried about you!"

"I’ll be done soon. Pan’er, what are you talking about? Is Lord Su really concerned about me? Who told you this? Is it another misunderstanding? You know very well how he treats us. You must be careful..."

Apparently, Qin Yi was still washing up and wasn’t aware of the ongoing situation. Hearing Su Pan’er’s words, he worried that she may be deceived and advised her repeatedly. His voice got louder as he approached.

Those present couldn’t help but wear peculiar expressions on their faces.

Su Sikong’s face turned green.

Jun Ruoxue gave a slight chuckle.

Su Pan’er shook her head.

Soon enough, the sound of footsteps announced Qin Yi’s arrival at the doorway.

As soon as he appeared, all eyes fell on him.

At this moment, compared to yesterday, he obviously looked tired and pale, but overall, he seemed fine.

He rubbed his eyes, yawned and looked apologetic. He politely greeted everyone, "Apologies! My body is really not that strong. After round trip to the county city yesterday, I got tired and only awoke now. This surely proves that scholars are the most useless!" He sighed repeatedly.

"It’s nothing, it’s nothing!"

Seeing Qin Yi, joy flashed in the eyes of Jun Ruochen, "If Scholar Qin is not feeling well, why don’t you rest here first?" He pointed to a nearby chair.

"Thank you, County Magistrate, for your kind offer."

Having said thanks, Qin Yi sat down on the chair.

Seemingly unintentionally, he saw Su Sikong. Immediately, his face darkened, and he clenched his fists as if ready to fight back. "Oh, Lord Su is also here? Are you here to arrest Pan’er again?"

Su Sikong stared at Qin Yi in astonishment.

He was left speechless by this question, barely managing to close his dropped jaw.

Cruel intent flashed in his eyes, and upon seeing the clenched fists of Qin Yi, a sharp burning sensation infiltrated his eyes.

"Not at all! That was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I just want to ask you something that is extremely crucial. Therefore, I hope Scholar Qin can cooperate with us!"

He laughed loudly, stood up and casually walked towards Qin Yi. He landed two heavy pats on Qin Yi’s left shoulder.

This act caused Jun Ruoxue to furrow her brows repeatedly.

She had seen with her own eyes the bloody hole in Qin Yi’s left shoulder.

Su Sikong’s heart was truly ruthless; not only did he pat him but also with such force. Wasn’t he trying to harm him?

Qin Yi was calm, not even a twitch in his eyebrows, he cast a sidelong glance at Su Sikong.

"As long as Lord Su doesn’t have any ill intentions towards Pan’er! I wonder what kind of cooperation Lord Su is referring to?"

Su Sikong’s eyes never once left Qin Yi’s face.

Seeing no change in Qin Yi’s expression, Su Sikong couldn’t help but frown.

Even though he could pretend nothing had happened, there was indeed a faint fragrance of medicine coming from him. The implication was self-explanatory!

He was undoubtedly injured!

Moreover, the wound must not have healed yet, he was merely concealing it.

Hmph Hmph!

"The cooperation I was referring to is..."

Su Sikong’s face hardened, and he made up his mind! Do or die!

"Look!"

He suddenly grabbed Qin Yi’s collar and gave it a hard yank!

Rip!

Accompanied by the harsh sound of fabric tearing, Qin Yi’s left shoulder was exposed in front of everyone!
