371 Be Careful, or I’ll Arrest All of You

Hunter Zhang did not know how to explain. He stammered and could not say a complete sentence. Then, he subconsciously looked at Imperial Physician Qin who was not far away.

Gu Qingxue quietly observed this scene and said with a faint smile, “Imperial Physician Qin, Hunter Zhang is looking at you. Don’t you have anything to say?”

The hair on Imperial Physician Qin’s back stood on end, and she warned Gu Qingxue with a serious face, “Doctor Gu, I warn you not to make irresponsible remarks. This matter has nothing to do with me.”

“Doctor Gu, since Hunter Zhang brought this matter up first, then he is suspected of being framed. For such a thing had happened under my nose, if it was spread out, it would be difficult for me to explain. For this, I must give you an explanation. Men, bring Hunter Zhang and Gu Qingxue back to Qingyuan Town and lock them up temporarily,” Prince Heng ordered with a serious face.

Gu Qingxue had guessed that Prince Heng would not let this matter go so easily. She looked at Prince Heng coldly and said, “Your Highness Prince Heng, I have already proven my innocence.”

Prince Heng sneered and said, “I naturally know this. However, this matter has something to do with you. In order to prevent further complications, I will bring you back to investigate. Miss Gu, don’t worry. As long as you are truly innocent, I will not make things difficult for you.”

Gu Qingxue met Prince Heng’s smug expression. She was very clear that Prince Heng was deliberately finding fault with her.

What a.s.sistance in the investigation? It was just an excuse.

Once she really left with Prince Heng, what awaited her would be inhuman torture.

She was just an ordinary doctor with no power or influence. Even if she was really tortured to death, Prince Heng would still have many ways to make her death a matter of course.

Gu Qingxue looked at Prince Heng coldly. Her palm, which was hidden under her sleeve, moved. She was already thinking of ways to leave this place.

No matter what, she could not be caught.

Princess Liuying, who had been extremely disappointed, was immediately energized after hearing these words. “That’s right. Gu Qingxue should a.s.sist in the investigation. Men, take Gu Qingxue and Hunter Zhang away!”

When the villagers of Tie Family Village heard this, they were also anxious.

“Wait a minute, wait a minute! How can you be so unreasonable?” Big Li shouted loudly. Then, he was pressed down to the ground by two guards.

“How dare you block my investigation of a murder case? Are you the murderer? Take him with you and lock him in the prison and interrogate him severely!”Prince Heng said harshly.

“No, don’t, Your Highness. My son is innocent. This matter has nothing to do with him!” Granny Li looked at her only son who was caught, and she was so scared that she panicked. She cried and begged Prince Heng.

Prince Heng merely muttered to himself when he heard that. Then, he waved his hand and asked the guards to let go of Big Li. “I’m here to handle official business. If you interfere with my official business, be careful that I arrest all of you!”

Previously, when the villagers were protecting Gu Qingxue, Prince Heng could not find a suitable excuse to make a move, so he could only watch.

However, it was different this time. This time, the matter involved human lives. Prince Heng could use the excuse of interfering with official business to deal with these villagers.

The villagers were not fools. None of them wanted to be captured. They had no choice but to stop what they were doing and look at Gu Qingxue helplessly.
