The Male Protagonist and I Fall in Love and Kill Each Other! [Quick Wear]

5.17 - Representatives from Jackals, Tigers and Leopards are here to report!

The moment the door of the execution room of the Hou Mansion opened, Qin Yuan smelled a pungent smell of blood. His eyes darkened, and his steps finally became less steady.

Soon, he saw clearly the person imprisoned in the torture room - Jiang Yi was kneeling on the ground with his head lowered. His arms were pulled over his head by chains and hung on the walls on both sides. His clothes had been removed. Stained with blood, he was completely motionless, and you could barely hear his breathing.

The man in charge of the execution room was named Wan Xiang. He knew that the master of the Hou Mansion was here to interrogate the prisoner, so he stepped forward with quick eyes and hands, grabbed the hair on the back of Jiang Yi's head, and pulled the man's head back, forcing the man to raise his face. Come. The man's normally handsome face was now stained with blood, and he didn't know where he had lost so much blood. His eyes were tightly closed, and he was completely unaware of other people's manipulations. He seemed to have fallen into a severe coma.

"Wake up! The Marquis is here. Haven't you been clamoring to see the Marquis? Don't pretend to be dead!" Wan Xiang shouted.

Seeing that Jiang Yi still didn't respond, Wan Xiang had no choice but to bring a bucket of ice water and poured it on Jiang Yi's head with a loud "swish".

This trick really worked. The water ice was so biting that Jiang Yi gasped and woke up in excitement, causing the iron chain on his hand to make a "squeaking" sound.

"Wake up quickly, the Marquis has something to ask you!" Wan Xiang urged. If the Marquis is kept waiting for a long time, he will not be able to eat and walk away.

Jiang Yi raised his head weakly, his face was wet and full of water marks. His eyes were gray, but after seeing Qin Yuan's face clearly, they suddenly became bright.

He moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but his voice was so hoarse that no words came out for a moment, "..."

Then, he heard Qin Yuan ask: "Who executed him?"

Wan Xiang answered honestly: "Returning to the Marquis, it was the chief steward who ordered the servants to interrogate this person. That day, the steward took this man to the torture chamber. He got the stolen goods as well, but he refused to plead guilty, so he was given a small punishment." 

The look on Qin Yuan's face made him angry. It was difficult for people to read. He looked at Jiang Yi and asked, "What do you have to say?"

Jiang Yi knelt on the ground, his eyes always staring at the marquis in rich clothes. He had waited for so long, and this man finally came to see him. 

"I didn't steal anything." Jiang Yi tried his best to say. His voice was extremely hoarse, and there were a few strands of wet hair stuck to his face. He looked really embarrassed.

His eyes were full of expectations when he looked at An Dinghou. He was so eager to gain Qin Yuan's trust. Even if everyone thought he was a person of low character and moral corruption, as long as Qin Yuan believed that he was innocent, then he could Have the confidence to face all unfounded accusations and insults.

Wan Xiang said: "Young master Liu's jade Huang was clearly found in your house, and you still want to make excuses?"

Jiang Yi still looked at Qin Yuan, as if he was the only one in his eyes at this time, and said stubbornly: "I didn't steal it."

Wan Xiang said to Qin Yuan: "Returning to the Marquis, the whole story of this matter has been found out in the past few days. The day when Mr. Liu Ye lost the jade Huang, this man was allowed to leave. On the day when he entered the hospital, he and Mr. Liu spent half a day together in a small pavilion in the middle of the lake. During this period, they waited for an opportunity to steal and stole the jade Huang on Mr. Liu when he was not prepared. This man regards wealth as his life. Fortunately, Mr. Liu found out the motive for the theft in time, otherwise the jade Huang might not be recovered."

"You're talking nonsense!" Jiang Yi said hoarsely, and the chain on his arm made a sound again as he broke it. He looked angry, but because of his weak body, his angry words had no momentum at all.

Qin Yuan dismissed the servants, leaving only him and Jiang Yi in the execution room.

Qin Yuan found that he wanted to step forward to see Jiang Yi's injury, but in the end he stopped himself from this idea.

"Stealing a sacred object given by the royal family is a capital crime, but since the lost object has been found and returned to its original owner, I will no longer pursue the matter. Someone will let you out in a while, and I don't want to hear anyone mention this matter again in the future. Do you understand?" Qin Yuan said.

There were no ups and downs in his words, and no emotional struggle could be heard. It didn't seem like he was talking about life and death, but it seemed like he was talking about the most ordinary and inconspicuous things.

Jiang Yi quickly understood what Qin Yuan meant. The other party planned to let him live, but the premise was not that he believed in his innocence, but that he wanted to reduce the matter to a trivial matter.

The look in Jiang Yi's eyes dimmed, and he raised his head with difficulty to look at Qin Yuan, his words of defense stuck in his throat, "You... don't believe me?" Qin Yuan took in Jiang Yi's bleak look, and raised his eyes. He shook his hands and replied: "That's not important."

Jiang Yi guessed right. He really wanted to downplay the matter. In his opinion, right and wrong at the moment is not the most important thing. What is important is Jiang Yi Your identity will not be exposed and you can live safely.

Only then did he realize that he didn't seem to see Jiang Yi really die, otherwise he wouldn't have been so nervous when he saw Jiang Yi covered in injuries and unknown about his life or death.

[Ding, the male protagonist's murderous intent value is -10; the male protagonist's favorability is: 78, and the murderous intent value is: 30. ]

Jiang Yi lowered his eyes, with a self-deprecating look on his face. It turned out that Qin Yuan didn't believe him either.

This is actually reasonable. He broke the rules and left the house privately before and was caught by Qin Yuan. It was just to make money and seek wealth. In Qin Yuan's eyes, Wan Xiang's saying that he "treats wealth as life" is probably very correct.

For money, he would do anything, even stealing a piece of jade from someone. He should have thought of it earlier.

He was holding on to a sense of luck, hoping that Qin Yuan would be different from others and give him a chance to defend himself. However, he was wrong from the beginning. No one wanted to hear his explanation. Everyone had already concluded that he was guilty from the very beginning.

For so many days, he struggled to hold his breath just to see Qin Yuan. Now it seems that this idea is really ridiculous.

Why should Qin Yuan believe him? Among himself and Liu Ye, who has "good conduct", is naturally more trustworthy.

Jiang Yi took one last look at Qin Yuan and swallowed back all the bitterness. He shouldn't have expected Qin Yuan to be special to him. Now that the other party is willing to spare his life, he should be satisfied.

No matter how much he wanted to have some backbone at this moment, would rather die than give in, point his finger at Qin Yuan's nose and scold him for being stupid, saying that he didn't need the "grace" from the other party, he couldn't. He still had Su Min to take care of, and he couldn't leave his underage brother alone.

Even though there were countless reluctances in his heart, Jiang Yi finally suppressed all the words he said in his heart, and finally said in a low voice: "Thank you... Lord Marquis for not killing me."
