The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

The driver stared at Shi Xinzhe with wide eyes, then pointed at Qin Miaoxi and shouted, "Who has the final say, you two?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Xinzhe and Qin Miaoxi's eyes met and they looked at each other briefly, but no one spoke.

Shi Xinzhe felt conflicted and subconsciously turned around to look at Qiao Wei, his eyes full of inquiry: Sir Qiao, can I make the decision on this matter?

Qiao Wei's brows were twisted into the shape of a "川" character, and he thought to himself: It seems that the authority between the two of us is indeed not enough!

He quickly gave Shi Xinzhe a look that conveyed a soothing feeling: Don't worry! I have sent someone to inform the emperor as soon as possible.

Shi Xinzhe saw this look and almost fainted with anger. He thought: What's the point of notifying the emperor? By the time the emperor issues an order, the opportunity will be gone. How can we expect the second prince to survive?

The driver saw the two of them exchanging glances and immediately flew into a rage, shouting, "What the hell are you doing?"

Shi Xinzhe instantly put on a smile and said cautiously, "No, nothing. You see, it must be tiring to hold the Second Prince hostage all the time. How about we find a spacious place and talk calmly?"

"Hmph! Do you think I'm a fool?" The driver became more and more angry, and the strength of his grip on the knife suddenly increased. The one who suffered was the second prince.

The Second Prince turned pale with fear and screamed like a pig being slaughtered: "Gentle! Zhang Da, don't kill me! If you let me go, I will keep you safe and reward you with wealth and glory."

Shi Xinzhe and Qiao Wei's pupils shrank instantly, and they instinctively took half a step forward.

But Zhang Da glared at them fiercely and shouted, "Back off! Everyone, back off!"

"Okay, okay, don't get excited." The two of them were afraid of irritating Zhang Da, so they hurriedly took several steps back.

Zhang Da grinned, "Second Prince, what you said is quite interesting. You can't even protect yourself right now, so how can you protect me?"

At this moment, Qin Miaoxi took a deep breath, took a steady step forward, and said in a clear voice: "I am the wife of Marquis Xuanping. I can meet any of your requests. But you must ensure the safety of the Second Prince."

After hearing this, Zhang Da's expression gradually calmed down after a moment of thought. He glanced around cautiously and ordered coldly, "All of you, step back and stay away from me!"

Qin Miaoxi immediately nodded in agreement and waved her hand to signal everyone to step back.

For a moment, it was so quiet that even the sound of the wind could be heard clearly.

Zhang Da's vigilant eyes swept across everyone's faces. "Give me a fast horse and 100,000 taels of silver."

"Okay." Qin Miaoxi agreed without hesitation, then turned around and began to discuss things in a low voice with Shi Xinzhe. Her expression was serious, and her every move showed competence as she gave orders in an orderly manner.

After everything was arranged, Zhang Da saw the yamen runner hurriedly leaving. He could no longer contain his excitement and asked nervously, "What is he going to do?"

"Go get the horse and the banknotes you requested."

The atmosphere once again fell into a dead silence of awkwardness. Qin Miaoxi's eyes widened as she suddenly asked, "Why did you kidnap the Second Prince?"

Zhang Da pursed his lips tightly, remaining silent, but his eyes betrayed a complex emotion. His mind raced with thoughts: "This beast has abused me in every way. If I don't flee, will I die in humiliation in his bed?"

Qin Miaoxi's face turned pale instantly, and she suppressed the nausea that surged in her heart. It seemed that Zhang Da must be the second prince's male favorite, but this reason...!?

She took a deep breath, calmed herself down a bit, and then asked, "If that's the case, then why did you kidnap Pan Di?"

Zhang Da fell silent, and there was a subtle look in his eyes when he looked at Pan Di.

Qin Miaoxi and the others were known for their meticulousness and ability to read people's expressions. In an instant, they caught a glimpse of something strange in Zhang's eyes.

Everyone glanced at Pan Di who was hiding behind the crowd, only to see her huddled in a corner, her body trembling slightly, her eyes filled with fright.

"Do you know?"

Qin Miaoxi asked the question first, her voice was not loud but very firm.

"I don't know him." Zhang Da almost blurted out, and only after he finished speaking did he realize that he had overreacted.

He hurriedly put on a stern face, pretending to be angry, and shouted, "You are deliberately delaying time!"

"It naturally takes time to get what you want." Qin Miaoxi responded calmly and calmly.

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Da was speechless and fell into silence again.

Qin Miaoxi raised her eyebrows, a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes, and her voice was filled with a bit of sarcasm: "She is the Second Prince's concubine, and you are the Second Prince's guard. How dare you say you don't know her?"

Zhang Da's face instantly turned gloomy, but even so, he still gritted his teeth and denied it flatly: "I don't know him, that's it! What's your intention in asking this?"

Qin Miaoxi stared at him deeply, her eyes as sharp as torches, as if she wanted to see through him.

After a long pause, she slowly opened her mouth and uttered a shocking statement: "You killed the Pandi family of three. You are the murderer."

Shi Xinzhe and others were stunned. Why did they jump to the murder case? What is the connection between these two things?

But he soon remembered that Qin Miaoxi had mentioned that the murderer of the family of three was a big man eight feet tall. Isn't this the same as Zhang Da's figure?

He was also able to lift the second prince like a chicken with one hand, which showed that he was very strong and could easily force the deceased to take poison.

"Why did you kill them?"

"They are not a good family. It would be better if a family that sells their children were dead." Zhang Da suddenly became agitated and repeated this sentence over and over again.

? ?

Is he really the murderer?

Qin Miaoxi took advantage of his distraction and secretly winked at Zi Yan.

Zi Yan understood what he meant, and she flashed around to the back of the carriage, preparing to attack from behind and rescue the second prince.

A gleam of light flashed across Pan Di's eyes, and he suddenly shouted, "Zhang Da, why? It turns out you killed my parents and my brother. Don't be so stubborn and release the Second Prince quickly! Otherwise, I will exchange with the Second Prince."

Zhang Da suddenly became energized and roared, "You guys want to plot against me? Get out! Get out!"

The knife that hit him moved closer, and the second prince was so scared that he was shaking all over and almost crying out loud.

"Don't move! If he dares to play any tricks, I will kill him immediately!" Zhang Da screamed at the top of his lungs, his voice full of panic and anger.

Qin Miaoxi's sharp eyes swept over immediately, "Who told you to speak?"

Pan Di shrank his neck in fear, not daring to look her in the eye.

"Don't get excited, let's talk it over nicely!"

Shi Xinzhe and others tried their best to calm him down. Just when the atmosphere became extremely tense, a burst of hurried horse hooves suddenly came from a distance.

Everyone's heart tightened and they all looked in the direction where the sound came from. They hoped that it was reinforcements, but they were also worried that this would irritate Zhang Da.

It was the yamen runner who had just left, and he was riding a horse behind him, rushing towards us at lightning speed.

"Mr. Qin, the banknotes and horses you requested."

After confirming the amount of the banknotes, Qin Miaoxi looked at Zhang Da again and said, "I have what you want. Now you can release the Second Prince."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Da sneered, "Haha! Do you think I'm stupid?"
