Chapter 362: Chopping Hands
"That's right...... The slave has not done anything, even if he is wrong, he will not be guilty of death, the uncle is so ruthless, won't everyone in the house be in danger in the future?" Luo Jiu is also smart and knows how to threaten Lu Zhaoran with people's hearts.
Lu Zhaoran, as the concubine of the long house, will inherit the Lu family in the future, if he can't convince the public, he will lose the hearts of the people before he gains power, which is not a good thing, if he becomes the patriarch, he needs to calm the hearts of the people and buy the hearts of the people.
Lu Zhaoan looked at Lu Zhaoran and thought to himself, if you kill Luo Jiu like this, I don't know how many people will be unconvinced, and Luo Jiu's death will be valuable.
Bai Mujin nodded, and also smiled: "Uncle, what people say also makes sense, so let's ...... Isn't he fond of playing with money and stealing things? Just chop off his hands, don't chop them off at once, start with his fingers, chop them off little by little, until he finishes chopping off his two arms!"
Hearing this, let alone Luo Jiu, even the faces of the people around him turned pale, and they felt painful just thinking about it!
Luo Jiuwa burst into tears and said, "County Lord...... Spare your life, Lord of the County...... You'd better kill the minions, it's better than killing me!"
Bai Mu Hibiscus shook his head and said, "This palace can't make people feel that the punishment is inappropriate, and it will make the eldest uncle cold!"
Luo Jiu saw that the guards of the county lord of Anping had already walked up violently, and he was extremely frightened, only to feel that the crotch was hot, and a foul smell came out.
The people around frowned and retreated, this person was too intimidated, and he peed his pants first.
Bai Mujin covered his nose with a handkerchief and said, "You still have one last chance, if you don't tell the truth, this palace will no longer tolerate you!"
Where did Luo Jiu, who had already broken his guts, dare to continue to quibble, thinking about the pain of being chopped off his hand, he wished that he had never been born. Hurriedly said: "County Lord...... The minion was wrong, the minion did come to set the fire, but it was discovered by the uncle's people, so he deliberately broke the fire fold!"
The subordinates of the Lu Mansion sighed, all pointing and pointing, and some scolded directly, it is really day and night, it is difficult to prevent thieves, the old lady has already fallen ill, and there are people who want to harm her, what a wolf-hearted thing!
Luo Jiu didn't care about anything, and directly admitted: "The slave is also a ghost for a while, he lost the gamble the day before yesterday, he owed a lot of debts, the creditor forced the door, and the slave had no choice, he said that as long as I put a fire in the old lady's room, when the chaos is over, he will bring someone to the Lu family to steal things, and said that the old lady has the most treasures in the house!"
Bai Mujin raised his eyebrows slightly, no wonder Lu Zhaoan was so calm, he did it cleanly, and he didn't even show up from beginning to end, so Luo Jiu's knowledge was limited, and he would definitely not be able to dig him up.
Bai Mujin glanced at Lu Zhaoan as if he had realized something, which made Lu Zhaoan's heart chuckle suddenly, and the eyes of this girl were so sharp, as if she could see through people's hearts.
Bai Mu Hibiscus continued: "Do you know who the creditor is, and where does he live?"
"The slave also recognized him in the gambling house, and he didn't know who he was at all, there were too many people coming and going in the casino, and he only remembered how much silver he put down, and where he still looked at the other party's face, let alone where he lived. Even if there are some people I know, I can still see it today, I can't tell where Ming'er will die!" Luo Jiu spoke earnestly, his face was covered with tears and snot, and he didn't look like a man in embarrassment.
Bai Mu Hibiscus nodded, although she had never been to the casino, she had heard of the chaos there, these gamblers were people who had no tomorrow today, and they were the best people to take advantage of. She can do anything for money, even if she goes to find that person, I'm afraid she is just a person who takes money to do things, and it will be difficult to exploit it layer by layer!
Lu Zhaoan does things like this without leaving a tail, but she admires it a little, no wonder she has been able to play tricks under her grandfather's nose for so many years, relying on the silver given by the Lu family, I have to say that both of them are people with brains.
Bai Mujin glanced at Lu Zhaoran and said, "Uncle, the person has been handed over to you first, how to deal with it is up to you, as for the person behind the scenes, don't want to be at ease, we must find out!"
Lu Zhaoran nodded and said, "Come on, pull Luo Jiu down, scold him with a cane of fifty, and then lock him in the firewood room, and wait for the fate!"
When Luo Jiu heard that he was just beaten, he breathed a sigh of relief, and he almost lost his life, and he blamed himself for being confused for a while!
Bai Mujin only had time to ask about the situation of Mandarin Duck and Rui Mama at this time, and said, "Uncle, what about Mandarin Duck and Rui Mama? Why is there such a fierce scene here, and I don't see them?"
After Lu Zhaoran heard this, a somewhat unnatural look suddenly appeared on his face, and he said, "Mandarin duck...... She was caught feeding poison to the old lady, so ...... I've been locked up in the firewood room!"
Bai Hibiscus's face was immediately covered with a layer of frost, and he said, "Hey, who caught it?"
"It's your second aunt, she saw with her own eyes that the mandarin duck fed the old lady a medicine that will poison people, I have already found someone to see it, it is indeed poison!" Lu Zhaoan's face was very heavy, but there was a gloating color in his eyes.
Bai Mujin squinted slightly, and then said, "Second aunt caught it, who proved that it was poison?"
Lu Zhaoan said: "Of course it's the government doctor, what the government doctor said will never be wrong, right?"
"Oh...... Doctor, very good...... What about Mama Rui?" Bai Hibiscus asked calmly without a seizure.
Lu Zhaoan sighed again and said: "Mama Rui refused to admit that the medicine was poisonous, and later it turned out that the medicine was made by Mama Rui, so she was naturally an accomplice, so they were all closed, and the county lord ...... Your two subordinates committed the crime together to kill your mother, you should be responsible for this, right?"
Bai Mujin applauded and said, "Second uncle, what a means, this palace has only been away for so long, do you think I can't come back?"
Lu Zhaoan glanced at Bai Muhibiscus and said, "The county lord Hugh wants to deny it, but the evidence of their poisoning is conclusive!"
"What about the poison, has something happened to my grandmother?" asked Bai Mu Hibiscus rhetorically.
Lu Zhaoan said: "Fortunately, I found it early, and I didn't let the mandarin duck succeed, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, poisonous...... Naturally, it is kept by the government doctor, so the county lord can just go and see it!"
Lu Zhaoran nodded at Bai Hibiscus, indicating that Lu Zhaoan was telling the truth, in fact, Lu Zhaoran also knew that the mandarin duck would not be poisoned, but Lu Zhaoan and his wife insisted that it was the mandarin duck who wanted to poison Mrs. Lu, and he had to lock people up first in order to save the lives of the two before Bai Hibiscus came back.
Bai Mu Hibiscus naturally understood, so he said: "Then please invite the government doctor over, I want to ask him, on what basis do you think it is poison?"
Lu Zhaoan was naturally not afraid that she would ask the house doctor, the pill in the house doctor's hand was indeed poison, and it was impossible to help Bai Mujian speak, so he ordered someone to invite the house doctor over.
Bai Mujin continued: "Second Uncle shouldn't mind inviting Mandarin Duck and Mama Rui over to confront each other face to face, right?
Lu Zhaoan snorted and said: "Naturally, the evidence of the crime is conclusive, and I am not afraid that the county lord will be partial and intend to poison the prime minister's wife, no matter what, it is also a capital crime, and the county lord should also think about how to explain to the emperor!"
Bai Mu Hibiscus smiled slightly, and said: "Don't worry about the second uncle, this palace has always believed in a word, and the body is not afraid of shadows!"
Seeing her unscrupulous appearance, Lu Zhaoan only sneered in his heart, he was younger, and he didn't know that he was suffering from the enemy now, but he didn't expect that King Chu would be able to let Bai Hibiscus come back.
Bai Mujin saw that someone had gone to the firewood room to receive people, so he said, "Uncle, I'll go back to the room first to change my clothes, and I'll come over later!"
Lu Zhaoran nodded, looking at Bai Mujian in embarrassment, and knew that she had been wronged in Dali Temple, but she didn't have time to feel sorry for her at this time, there was a fuss this night!
The magpie took Bai Hibiscus to change his clothes, and Bai Hibiscus asked the magpie to take a few things from Rui's baggage, stuff them into the cuffs, and then instructed the magpie a few more words before coming out again.
When Bai Mujin arrived in the yard, Mandarin Duck and Rui Mama were also tied up and thrown on the ground, Rui Mama's face looked a little pale, obviously injured outside, except for the clothes and hair were a little dirty and messy, but there was nothing serious.
When the two of them saw Bai Hibiscus, they both showed relieved expressions. Bai Mu Hibiscus nodded at them, which was kind of calming the emotions of the two.
The house doctor also happened to stumble at this time, as if someone had just been pulled up from the bed, and he was drowsy. Bai Mujin coughed lightly and said, "Release the mandarin duck and Mama Rui first, this palace has something to ask!"
Lu Zhaoan immediately stopped without yin or yang: "County Lord, are you the one who clearly wants to favor yourself?
Bai Mu Hibiscus glanced at him and snorted coldly: "This palace is here, if they dare to make any drastic moves, this palace is responsible for one person, and the second uncle doesn't have to worry about it!"
Regardless of Lu Zhaoan's reaction, he ordered the magpie to untie the mandarin duck and Mama Rui, when the magpie touched Mama Rui, he quietly stuffed something into her hand, and nodded to her from an angle that was not easy for others to notice, the deep meaning in her eyes, Mama Rui saw it clearly.
After quietly putting it away, Mama Rui stood up, and both Mandarin Duck and Mama Rui thanked Bai Hibiscus before standing aside and waiting for Bai Hibiscus's question.
Bai Mu Hibiscus first said to the house doctor: "Is this Doctor Tian saying that the medicine of mandarin ducks is poisonous?"
Doctor Tian rubbed his confused and cloudy eyes, and after seeing clearly that the person who asked him was Bai Hibiscus, he nodded and said, "Yes, I have tested it, and it is indeed poisonous!"
Bai Mujin nodded and said, "Where's the poison?"
Doctor Tian trembled and took out a black pill wrapped in paper from the cloth bag he was carrying, and said, "This is it, I have already checked it, this medicine is indeed poisonous, it is still highly poisonous that will kill people!"
Bai Mujin reached out and took it, looked at it, and asked the mandarin duck, "This pill is what you want to give to the old lady?"
