EBE Chapter 350 Arrest
Chapter 350 Arrest
The guards moved among them, their lists filled with the items they had checked.
They didn't dare to relax for a moment, and even the most inconspicuous little wooden box was taken out.
There are just too many.
The warehouse items are arranged not by time, but by category.
Porcelain is placed together, calligraphy and paintings are placed together, and pearls and precious stones are placed together.
Xie Jing stood in the center of the warehouse, his brows furrowed, his cold gaze sweeping over the treasures scattered on the floor and the busy servants.
His face became increasingly gloomy.
The guards have been searching since last night and are now exhausted.
As a result, their movements became much slower.
Just when everyone was about to give up, Xie Jue's small figure was still constantly shuttling between them.
"what?"
He walked to the innermost part where the porcelain was displayed and found a wooden box lying there.
Why throw it on the ground?
He opened the wooden box and found a shimmering, colorful glass bottle.
Xie Jue sniffed it with his little nose, and the next moment he sneezed loudly.
He sensed something was wrong and quickly grabbed the bottle to go find Xie Jing.
“This is a gift from the Qin family,” Xiaohe recognized it quickly.
Upon hearing the words "Qin family," Xie Jing's eyes immediately turned cold.
He said in a deep voice, "Summon Imperial Physician Lin to come and take a look."
Physician Lin took the glass bottle and quickly noticed the liquid coated inside.
He carefully probed with a silver needle, then leaned closer to examine it closely.
The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and everyone's eyes were fixed on his every move.
After a while, Physician Lin slowly put down the glass bottle, his expression solemn: "This is 'Snake-Guiding Liquid'."
"Snake-drawn fluid?" Xie Jing frowned.
Physician Lin nodded and looked up at the crowd.
"This is an extremely rare medicine that emits a scent that ordinary people cannot smell, but venomous snakes are extremely sensitive to. No matter how far away a venomous snake is, it will be attracted by this scent. Many snake catchers use it as bait."
Xie Yanli also came out of the house at this time. After listening to Physician Lin's words, the coldness on his face gradually turned into frost.
The Qin family... how dare they!
At this moment, in the Qin residence.
Inside the ancestral hall, incense smoke curled upwards.
Li knelt on the prayer mat, holding a long stick of incense in her hands.
Qin's father stood to one side, his hands behind his back.
"Le'an, your mother has finally avenged you..." Madam Li's voice was low and gentle.
After saying that, her eyes suddenly turned cold. "That bitch caused your death, and now she's finally going down to join you."
"Don't worry, none of the people who harmed you will escape!"
The ancestral hall was quiet, with only the soft crackling of incense.
Just as Li was about to place the incense in front of the memorial tablet, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside.
"Madam, something terrible has happened!"
A servant rushed into the ancestral hall in a panic, his voice trembling.
"The Xie family has arrived! The entire Qin residence is surrounded!"
Li's hand trembled, and the incense almost fell.
Qin's father turned around abruptly, his brows furrowed and a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.
No, that's impossible!
They were so well prepared, how could they have found them so quickly!
"Snapped--"
The door to the ancestral hall was suddenly kicked open from the outside, making a deafening thud.
The heavy door wobbled a few times before slowly opening.
Outside the door, Xie Yanli, dressed in a brocade robe, stepped into the dim light.
His figure was tall and slender, and his eyes were as cold as if they were covered with frost.
The candlelight reflected off him, giving him an imposing and intimidating aura.
He wasn't wearing armor or carrying a sword; just standing at the doorway was enough to make people feel suffocated by his presence.
"Arrest him," Xie Yanli said coldly.
The guards behind them immediately stepped forward, and before the two could react, they were firmly held down.
Li struggled frantically, her composure vanished, and she screamed.
"Your Highness! We did nothing! You can't wrong us!"
Qin's father also panicked, "Young Master Xie, you need to provide evidence! Aren't you afraid of what will happen in court if you arrest people like this!"
Xie Yanli's face instantly turned as cold as ice as he listened to the two still arguing loudly.
His gaze swept over Qin's father, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.
He raised his leg and kicked him hard, knocking him to the ground.
Jiuwei has been harmed by them and is still lying in bed unconscious!
They have no right to spout such nonsense!
If the antidote hadn't been delayed, he would have loved to devour these two alive!
"Whether I've wronged you or not, you know the truth in your hearts!"
"Save those words for the torture instruments!"
Xie Yanli turned around immediately and said, "Take him away!"
-
dungeon.
Li and Qin's father were locked in heavy iron chains, their hair disheveled, their faces covered in blood, and their bodies covered in wounds from being whipped.
They lay on the ground, breathing weakly.
Xie Yanli sat before them, dressed in a moon-white robe, his face expressionless, like a god of death emerging from hell.
"Give me the antidote."
His gaze swept coldly over the two kneeling figures, his voice low and icy.
"No, there is no antidote..." Li's voice trembled.
Xie Yanli's expression remained unchanged.
With a slight raise of her hand, the guards behind her immediately stepped forward and lashed down with their iron whips, leaving another bloody welt.
Li couldn't help but let out a scream, and Qin's father also flinched in fear.
"This is just the beginning!" Xie Yanli slowly raised his hand.
The guards behind him continued to lash the two men with their iron whips.
After another fifteen minutes, the breathing of Li and Qin's father subsided.
His body remained motionless, as if he had been beaten to death.
Suddenly, however, Li looked up abruptly.
As if she could no longer bear it, she roared furiously at Xie Yanli.
"There is no antidote! Ever since I found those venomous snakes, there has been no antidote!"
"Because from the very beginning, I wanted Qin Jiuwei dead!"
"Why is it that her life is so smooth, and she was granted the title of First-Rank Imperial Lady, while my Le'an died tragically in the cold palace! It's all because of her! Because of her forced marriage back then!"
"All I want now is for her to pay with her life! What have I done wrong! What have I done wrong!"
Li's hair was disheveled, and there was blood at the corner of her mouth.
But a mad light shone in his eyes.
