"Weren't we just arresting one person? Where are the other accomplices?" He Lingchuan asked him, "Is it possible that Zhongsun Mouquan was taken to the inn?"

"There are also a number of guards and servants from the Fu family, a housekeeper, a concubine, two stewards, and three merchants who have close dealings with them. Mr. Zhongsun did not take them to the inn, and they are all in the county jail for the time being.

"

"That's right." He Lingchuan patted his clothes and stood up, "Lead the way, I want to interrogate you."

"Ah?" Bai Shaqian County Magistrate was startled, but when he looked into He Lingchuan's eyes, he immediately changed his mind, "Yes."

This was his immediate superior, and He Lingchuan's beating words were still ringing in his ears.

Besides, the prisoner is in his county jail, so why can’t the magistrate try him?

The white-sanded county jail was as dark and damp as the cells in other places, with insects and rats lining up to enter and exit.

The county magistrate led He Lingchuan and Jiao Yu inside, pointed to a row of cells and said, "These are all accomplices in the Fu Songhua case. Which one do you want to try?"

He Lingchuan took a look and saw that several female servants were locked up in one room, and the remaining men were locked up in three rooms.

"Let's start with the woman first. Didn't you say that he has a concubine?"

The concubine’s surname is Li.

When Mrs. Li was interrogated alone, she kept shouting injustice at He Lingchuan. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and even if she shed tears, she could not conceal her beauty.

"I was sold to the master. Oh, I was only fourteen years old when I was sold to Fu Songhua. I didn't know anything." Mrs. Li cried, "I didn't know he was a fugitive and I didn't know he had killed someone!"

He Lingchuan leaned back: "Has anyone interrogated you?"

"Yes, there was one time. Several adults came to ask questions, but they didn't look like people from the government."

Baishaqian County Magistrate added: "The inspector's bodyguard came to interrogate Mr. Li once."

"You were there the whole time?"

"Well……"

Magistrate Bai Shaqian's back was sweating again. It was really hot in the prison.

He Lingchuan snorted, ignored him, and turned to ask Li: "What did they ask?"

From Li's answer, he knew that the other party only asked some questions about Tiger Balm, such as how long she had been with Fu, who he usually saw him interacting with, and where he went.

It sounds just routine.
