Chapter 259 Do you want to kill people to silence them?
Qin Miaoxi frowned and said coldly, "I've given you everything you want. What else do you want?"
Zhang Da grinned fiercely, the knife in his hand firmly placed on the Second Prince's neck. He roared with rapid breathing, "I want all of you to get out! Anyone who dares to stop me will be stabbed right now!"
"Okay, let's go." Qin Miaoxi raised her hand to signal everyone to retreat, her voice deliberately softened: "But you have to ensure the safety of the Second Prince."
As she spoke, she signaled with her eyes to Zi Yan who was lurking in the dark.
Seeing that everyone really started to evacuate, Zhang Da's tense nerves relaxed slightly, but he still pushed the Second Prince fiercely: "Get on the horse! Quick!"
The Second Prince stumbled forward, but Zhang Da's stern voice came from behind him, stopping him: "What are you dawdling for?"
The second prince shuddered and climbed onto the horse's back tremblingly.
In the blink of an eye -
"Whoosh!"
A cold light broke through the air and accurately pierced the back of Zhang Da's hand holding the knife!
"what!"
Zhang Da screamed, but still held the knife handle tightly, with a fierce look in his eyes: "You are looking for death!"
He thrust his knife into the horse's rump.
It's too late, it's faster than that!
A black shadow pounced like lightning, and Ergouzi's sharp canine teeth bit Zhang Da's wrist fiercely and tore it madly!
"Beast! Get out of here!" Zhang Da roared and swung his arms, but the black dog refused to let go and tore off a piece of flesh!
"boom!"
Zi Yan flew out from behind the carriage, and with both palms carrying a sharp gust of wind, she slapped Zhang Da's back heavily.
"Puff——" Zhang Da spat out a mouthful of blood and flew out sideways.
"You..." His eyes were bloodshot and he threw away the knife in his hand the moment he fell to the ground!
"Pfft!"
The sharp blade sank deep into the horse's back, and the steed let out a sharp neigh, raising its front hooves high.
The second prince cried out in surprise and was instantly carried away by his horse.
"Help!"
Shi Xinzhe and others in the distance saw this sudden change and immediately rushed over anxiously, "Your Highness!"
Qin Miaoxi's eyes fixed, she leaped up, her figure flashed quickly, and the long whip at her waist swung out like a silver snake, instantly binding the second prince's waist. With a slight force of her wrist, the second prince was lifted up and flew straight towards Qin Miaoxi.
"what!"
The Second Prince screamed, his uncontrolled body suddenly falling into an embrace with a faint sandalwood scent. His heart trembled, and he looked up in surprise, "Thank you for saving me..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw himself being held in Shi Xinzhe's arms.
Their eyes met, and Shi Xinzhe looked at him worriedly, "Second Prince, are you okay?"
"Snapped!"
The Second Prince pushed him away violently, slapping the place where the two of them had touched, as if there was some dust, and cursing, "Why is it you?"
"what?"
Shi Xinzhe didn't hear clearly, and then he saw him quickly walk up to Qin Miaoxi, staring at her with burning eyes and said, "Miss Qin, thank you for saving me. I don't know how to thank you. How about..."
"Your Highness!"
A sudden voice from behind interrupted him instantly. He looked back unhappily and saw his men rushing over. They came forward with concern and asked about his well-being, interrupting his private time with Qin Miaoxi.
"Get out, I'm fine." He glared angrily at these guys who ruined the atmosphere, and walked towards Qin Miaoxi again.
"Your Highness, it's better to check it out."
Then he was taken away for inspection by the guards without any explanation, leaving him no room for maneuver.
On this side, Zhang Da still wanted to struggle, but Er Gouzi was still biting his trouser leg relentlessly, making a threatening growl in his throat.
"You beast! I'll kill you..."
Zhang Da's pupils suddenly dilated, his eyes rolled back and he fainted. It turned out that he was knocked unconscious by Zi Yan's knife.
Upon seeing this, Shi Xinzhe immediately rushed forward with the yamen runners and said, "Take him away for strict interrogation."
"Yes!" the bailiff suddenly shouted, "Stop!"
Just when everyone was breathing a sigh of relief after rescuing the Second Prince and capturing Zhang Daer, a thin figure rushed to Zhang Daer's side.
"It was you who kidnapped me and the second prince. It was you who killed my family. I want you to pay with your life!" Pan Di's eyes were red. He raised the hairpin high in his hand and stabbed it fiercely at his heart.
"stop!"
"Ding--"
A stone flew through the air and accurately knocked the hairpin out of her hand.
Pan Di felt a sharp pain in her hand, the hairpin fell to the ground, and she fell to the ground.
Qin Miaoxi retracted her finger and said in a deep voice, "What do you want to do? Kill someone and silence them?"
Panic flashed across Pan Di's eyes. "No, I just hate this man for killing my family. Why didn't he let me go? How did we offend him?"
If this woman hadn't meddled in his affairs, Zhang Da would be dead now. How despicable.
Shi Xinzhe frowned and said, "This case is full of doubts. Whether he is the murderer or not needs further investigation. Only with evidence can it be confirmed."
Pan Di roared in frustration, "He's already admitted that he killed my family of three. What else is there to investigate? You...you just want to protect this murderer."
Qin Miaoxi frowned in thought. They still had so many questions. Why did Zhang Da kill Pan Di's family of three? The reason he gave couldn't be a motive for murder. And how did he know that Pan Di's family sold their children? They only sold their daughters!
That is Pan Di.
Suddenly, Qin Miaoxi's eyes focused on her, "Pandi, why did you take your brother to the gambling house?"
The sudden question made Pan Di at a loss for words. His face turned pale instantly and his lips trembled: "I... I didn't..."
How did she know? Was she suspicious of something?
"Don't try to hide it. We found Scarface, the owner of the gambling house. He personally admitted that you took your brother to the gambling house. You even paid the money your brother owed the gambling house. You even sent people from the gambling house to your house to threaten your brother to pay you back."
She suddenly changed the subject, "And your parents don't know anything about this."
Pan Di stumbled back and looked at her in disbelief: "You are talking nonsense! How could I possibly harm my brother!"
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face. "I did that all for him! My brother was a regular thief in the village, and later he was taken by some scoundrels to do drugs, and then to the county town to gamble. He threatened me that if I didn't take him to the gambling house, he would sell me to an old man as a shared wife. I knew he could do it, so I took him there out of desperation."
After she finished speaking, she sobbed twice, hiccuping and continued, "I was afraid that he would lose too much, so I gave the silver to Scarface in advance. If he lost, it would be my silver, so he wouldn't have to worry about the gambling house asking him for it later. But..."
"But I didn't expect that after a few times, not only did he show no sign of repentance, but he became even worse and more unrestrained. I had no choice but to ask Scarface to bring people to scare him, hoping that he would quit. Otherwise, even if our family had mountains of gold and silver, we wouldn't be able to support him!"
Pan Di spoke sincerely, but when she looked up, she found Qin Miaoxi still looking at her with scrutiny. She anxiously defended herself, "What I said is true. He is my brother. I can't hurt him!"
"Not my biological child."
"He's also the son of my adoptive mother and father! We've lived together since we were young, and we've been together for so many years. I wouldn't do anything to harm him."
Shi Xinzhe pondered for a moment and asked, "Tell me, how did Zhang Da hold you hostage?"
Pan Di looked panicked. "When I came back from the government office this morning, I saw no one in the inn. I knew the Second Prince was probably resting in his bedroom, so I wanted to go over and explain. Unexpectedly, as soon as I reached the door, I heard muffled noises from inside. When I pushed the door open, I saw the Second Prince tied up by Zhang Da. Just as I was about to scream, he pressed my mute point and led us both through the window to the back door, where we left in a carriage."
"Why did Zhang Da kidnap the Second Prince?"
Pan Di shook his head, glanced cautiously at Zhang Da who was restrained, and said, "I don't know either. Maybe he wants money!"
Suddenly, Qin Miaoxi said firmly: "You and Zhang Da know each other."
"Ah?" Pan Di was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and whispered, "I guess he's an acquaintance! I've seen him a few times since the Second Prince and I entered the inn."
"No, you two knew each other before."
