Chapter 451 Xue Yuandao is arrested

"Miss, I was wrong, please forgive me."

Xue Yuandao cried until his nose and tears were everywhere, and it seemed that he finally knew fear.

"sorry!"

The woman before him still stared at him coldly, silently approaching him. "Why did you kill me? I was your wife!"

Xue Yuandao retreated in fear, "I was forced into this. If my master, Sai Pohou, hadn't threatened me with the Resurrection Pill, I wouldn't have done this. If I don't kill you, I'll die. Please consider it a good deed and help your incompetent husband, okay?"

"What grudge does Sai Pohou have against Qian Musheng that he would want to frame him?"

Xue Yuandao was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, trembling uncontrollably. "I heard my master say that Qian Musheng was meddling in other people's business. Not only was he imprisoned, but he also framed and killed several other disciples of my sect. I must avenge this great grudge. So I thought of this method to kill him with a borrowed knife. It can kill Qian Musheng and also ruin his reputation, making him be executed at the Meridian Gate in front of everyone."

"You people are so vicious! You killed me and are still getting away with it, coming here to have fun. I will definitely get my revenge today. When you framed Qian Musheng, did you ever think about how Qian Musheng felt, or whether my death was unjust?"

"this?"

Xue Yuandao, kneeling on the ground, was stumped by the question. How could he answer? He did indeed have a guilty conscience for causing the death of his own bride and framing Qian Musheng, a complete stranger.

As for the matter of Qian Musheng causing the deaths of his fellow disciples, he didn't think much of it, and even secretly agreed with it.

After all, he had mistakenly entered this sect when he was young, wanting to learn some skills, and ended up with such a wicked master. He knew his master was a bandit, a ruthless villain who committed arson, murder, robbery, and all sorts of evil deeds, and would ask his family for money when they were short of cash. Fortunately, Xue Yuandao's family was wealthy, so they hadn't been completely drained of their resources over the years.

Otherwise, he would probably have been financially ruined and died without a proper burial place.

"If you do something wrong, you must pay with your life!"

As she spoke, the young lady opposite Xue Yuandao stretched out her hand, covered in scarlet nails, and lunged at him.

Xue Yuandao was so frightened that he quickly got up from the ground and prepared to rush towards the door, trying to escape from the house.

Just as he arrived at the door, it was suddenly opened, and a large group of people rushed in, carrying lanterns and torches, illuminating the house and its surroundings as bright as day.

What's going on? Xue Yuandao was a little confused at this moment. He was even more confused when he saw the people in front of him. The leader was the Tenth Prince, with Prince Gong and the old princess next to him, as well as the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review and some other officials in charge of the case. They all stood at the door and stared at him coldly.

Xue Yuandao turned back to look at the young lady behind him, who had already revealed her true appearance.

Although she looks very similar, she is not the deceased young lady. It seems that someone set up a trap to lure him into revealing the truth.

Xue Yuandao stumbled and fell to the ground. What could he say now? He had already explained the process and motive for the murder. What else could he say? But now he saw that the old princess and Prince Gong looked terrible, as if they wanted to devour him.

The old princess pointed at him and cursed, "You heartless bastard! For your own sake, you murdered your betrothed wife, and now you're pretending to be heartbroken all day long to deceive our family! You colluded with bandits and outlaws, how could you do such a thing? I will definitely kill you to avenge my daughter!" As she spoke, the old princess was about to rush over and grab Xue Yuandao by the neck, strangling him to death.

But Prince Gong quickly stopped her. At this moment, the Tenth Prince spoke up, saying, "Everyone, please calm down. The old princess should also stop making a scene."

Upon hearing this, the old princess immediately suppressed her grief and dared not cause any more trouble.

It's true, the princes here are the youngest, but their words carry a thousand times more weight than anyone else's.

Upon hearing that the leader was the Tenth Prince, and knowing that they had overheard his words, Xue Yuandao collapsed to the ground, realizing that his scheme had been exposed.

What's there to say now?

The Tenth Prince said to the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review, "Now that we have finally found the murderer, you can decide how to sentence him. Qian Musheng has been cleared of suspicion in this case; he was framed. However, the case is still missing a serious criminal, Sai Pohou. He has not been arrested yet. In fact, he is the mastermind behind it all."

Everyone nodded in agreement, expressing their determination to bring the scoundrel to justice. The old princess closed her eyes and thought to herself: she had almost wronged Qian Musheng to death, causing the innocent death of a person, yet the real murderer escaped.

The crucial point is that she never imagined that the person who killed her daughter was Xue Yuandao!

Such a reversal was truly overwhelming, and by this time the old princess was already heartbroken.

Not only did the new son-in-law kill his daughter, but his master was also Sai Pohou, a notorious criminal currently wanted by the imperial court. Where can anyone seek justice in this situation?!

Prince Gong was filled with remorse. How could he have made such a friend? Not only did this person cause the death of his sister, but he also dragged Prince Gong down with him. This person was actually colluding with a major criminal of the court. If word got out, everyone would think that Prince Gong was also involved in something.

After the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review finished handling the case, he arrested Xue Yuandao and put him in jail, and issued an arrest warrant to continue to capture the mastermind behind it all, Sai Pohou.

Qian Musheng's grievances were finally cleared, and everyone was overjoyed. The Tenth Prince also breathed a sigh of relief. Besides, the person who had just played the role of the deceased young lady was none other than Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao noticed that her makeup skills were improving day by day. Speaking of which, she felt that she should try to work on acting sometime, and who knows, she might actually succeed.

Everyone happily returned to Qian Musheng's residence and told him the good news.

Qian Musheng is now able to get out of bed, and with a little more rest, she will recover.

Moreover, after the Emperor learned of this matter, knowing that Qian Musheng had been wronged as a result, he gave Qian Musheng one hundred taels of gold as compensation, and also rewarded Qian Musheng for capturing the serious criminal Sai Pohou.

The Emperor gave him a folding fan with his signature, promising that if Qian Musheng committed any crime in the future, no matter what it was, he could be pardoned once.

This is essentially a get-out-of-jail-free card. Although he may never need to use it in his lifetime, this folding fan, with the Emperor's personal signature, is enough for Qian Musheng's family to bring glory to their ancestors and boast about for a lifetime.
