Chapter 811: Doubt
Xuanyuan Ziming waved his hand to dismiss them.
"Tell me, who instructed you? Who else in Phoenix City is your accomplice?"
Actually, when Thirty Thousand found him, he only said that the commoners were gathering here to cause trouble. Song Jingchen asked him to capture a soldier called Jia Quan. Xuanyuan Ziming was still confused about the rest.
But didn’t they always ask the same question?
"What instigation? What accomplice?" Jia Quan was stunned for a moment. Seeing Xuanyuan Ziming frown, he was afraid that he would be escorted to the quarantine area in the next moment. He quickly said, "Your Highness, I was possessed. I shouldn’t have stolen it, but I did this alone. There’s really no accomplice."
"Steal?" Xuanyuan Ziming looked at Song Jingchen, who shook his head.
Seeing his reaction, Jia Quan knew that his theft had not been discovered at all. He could not help but look vexed, but he did not dare to hide it anymore. "I saw that most people in this city only left a few old women to guard the house, so I secretly sneaked in and stole some valuable items. I wanted to exchange them for money in the future."
"I really know my mistake. I won’t dare to do it again. Your Highness, please spare me this time." Jia Quan kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Xuanyuan Ziming asked where the items were hidden and got someone to verify it. As expected, they found a lot of wealth.
Jia Quan explained why he wanted to run. With those items as evidence, it didn’t look like he was lying, but this wasn’t what Song Jingchen wanted to hear.
