Chapter 719 [Under the Brocade 15]
Xie Xiao pulled Jin Xia and ran towards a store. Before Yuan Jin Xia could react, she was already in the store with a pile of colorful clothes of various styles in front of her.
Yuan Jinxia looked at Xie Xiao blankly, and Xie Xiao told her to change into new clothes quickly, otherwise she would catch a cold. When Jinxia was changing clothes, she actually threw the token she was carrying with her and the clothes she changed into aside.
On the other side, Xie Xiao saw that Yuan Jinxia had already started to change clothes, and a cunning flashed in his eyes. He quickly took out a fake token that he had carefully prepared in advance from his arms, and while Yuan Jinxia was not paying attention, he quietly swapped it with the real token.
Then, Xie Xiao swaggered into the prison with a fake token, and pretended to ask the jailer to hand Sha Xiuzhu over to him in the name that Lu Yi wanted to interrogate him.
At first, the jailers did not suspect anything and followed Xie Xiao's instructions. But as the conversation progressed, Xie Xiao's words gradually revealed flaws.
The experienced prison guards soon discovered the trick. They realized that the seemingly arrogant guy in front of them was actually an impostor.
So, the jailers took prompt action, pinned Xie Xiao to the ground, and mercilessly locked him in the cell.
At this time, Shangguan Xi, who was anxiously waiting for news outside, learned that Xie Xiao was in trouble and was extremely worried. In order to save her beloved, she decided to take a risk.
Shangguan Xi sneaked into the stable and ignited the gunpowder, which instantly caused a huge explosion. The explosion was deafening, and the entire prison fell into chaos. Taking this opportunity, Shangguan Xi rushed into the cell nimbly and found the trapped Xie Xiao. She pulled Xie Xiao up and rushed out desperately.
Unfortunately, due to time constraints, Shangguan Xi only succeeded in taking Xie Xiao away, but was unable to rescue Sha Xiuzhu in time.
At the same time, Lu Yi and Yuan Jinxia rushed to the scene after hearing the loud noise. Yuan Jinxia saw the chaotic situation and thought to herself that it was not good. She quickly showed the token in her hand and tried to identify herself to the jailer. However, the jailers had already lost their minds at this moment and did not listen to her explanation at all. They insisted that she was Xie Xiao's accomplice. Yuan Jinxia was so anxious that her face turned red and she tried desperately to explain, but the other party did not give her a chance to speak.
Just when Yuan Jinxia felt desperate, Lu Yi appeared in time. He glanced at the surrounding situation with sharp eyes, and then slowly said: "I can prove her innocence."
As he spoke, Lu Yi walked to Yuan Jinxia's side, carefully examined the token in her hand, frowned slightly, and knew in his heart that the token was a forgery. However, he did not expose it on the spot, but helped Yuan Jinxia out of the predicament first.
Afterwards, Lu Yi took Yuan Jinxia to a quiet place and asked her solemnly to give a reasonable explanation for what happened today.
Yuan Jinxia lowered her head and stammered as she recounted what had happened.
After listening to this, Lu Yi snorted coldly. He had already seen that Yuan Jinxia's token was fake, but he had never pointed it out.
Afterwards, Lu Yi found Yang Chengwan and asked him to check the token. Yang Chengwan took the token and after a careful inspection, he also confirmed Lu Yi's guess.
Lu Yi frowned, staring at Yuan Jinxia with a sharp gaze, and he was sure that she was the traitor. He spoke coldly, his voice without any warmth: "Yuan Jinxia, stop quibbling! With your ability, how could you throw the token to others so easily? If you don't tell the truth today, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Youyou, who was standing by, was extremely anxious when she saw this, and quickly stepped forward to defend Jin Xia: "Lord Lu, you must not make a judgment about Jin Xia based on this incident! We all know what kind of person Jin Xia is, and she is definitely not that kind of person. Along the way, Lord Lu, have you seen Jin Xia harm any of us?" As she spoke, Youyou unconsciously took a step forward, as if she wanted to use her thin body to protect Jin Xia behind her.
Jin Xia, who was hiding behind You You, also poked her head out and echoed, "That's right, that's right! Sir Lu, you have to be very observant!"
However, Lu Yi did not change his mind because of their words. Instead, he turned to look at Youyou, with a barely perceptible sneer on his face: "So, Miss Ouyang, are you also a suspect?"
Hearing this, Jin Xia's eyes widened immediately, and she pointed at Lu Yi with an angry face and shouted: "Master Lu, you say what I want to say, why do you have to involve Sister Youyou? She has nothing to do with this matter!"
