Chapter 296: Preparedness

"Why bother! As...... Tell me directly! Zhou Manyun grabbed Lou Qiaoying's wrist with a fierce glint in his eyes.

With the cheers, Man Yun's empty right hand quickly touched his own cloud temples, and a black hair pin was placed on his fingertips, shining in front of Lou Qiaoying's eyes.

Lou Qiaoying's eyes flashed with a hint of fear, and she quickly regained her composure, looking at Man Yun's smile was still full of contempt, her lips tightened into a straight line, and she showed her hard character that would not easily leak her bottom if she hit or kill.

"Don't want to speak?" , Man Yun smiled slightly, flipped his fingers lightly, and the tip of the needle pierced the root behind Lou Qiaoying's ear.

After about half a moment, Lou Qiaoying, who was originally stubborn and upright, fell to the ground in a blur, like a fish about to dry up on the beach, unconsciously opening and closing her lips with Man Yun's questioning......

I don't know how long it took, the consciousness of the lost soul finally returned to Lou Qiaoying's body, she held on to an embroidered pier sleepily, staggered to her feet, and stared forward with red eyes.

The banquet room was dead silent, and Zhou Manyun, who was leaning on the Luohan couch, closed his eyes tightly as if he was asleep, as cold as a jade carving.

"What you just said is false!"

Lou Qiaoying stretched out her hand and pressed the corner of her forehead, and said with a sneer: "Sixth Grandma just used poison to induce me to confess?" In this case, you should know that what I have vomited is the truth. Back then, I had only heard people talk about it in the years I had in the palace. If grandma wants to confirm, she still went to the Great Ci'en Temple to find Xiankong, and that year your father painted the wall in the tower courtyard, and he was waiting on the side. ”

"It's fake! It was you who were bent on revenge, so you deliberately set up an ambush! Manyun drank bitterly, his hoarse voice as if he had just cried.

"It's true or not, why don't the sixth grandmother go and check it herself! Alas......", Qiao Ying said with a bit of mockery. sighed: "The world is full of vain, and now that you are rich, how can you hurt the person next to you for the sake of your dead father!" ”

"Lou Qiaoying! I'll kill you! Zhou Manyun, who was provoked to anger, sat up straight, picked up the tea cup on the desk in his hand and smashed it towards Lou Qiaoying.

"Grandma!". A vague cry sounded outside the door, and Xian Ying rushed in, stopping directly in front of Qiao Ying without stopping. She didn't know what was going on, but she was suddenly pushed in by someone secretly, and when she saw the tension in the room, she panicked even more.

"Grandma's life!" , trembling begging for mercy accompanied by the sound of kowtowing, Lou Xianying begged for mercy in a panic, and her sweaty palms pulled her sister who was still standing proudly. "Sister! You confess your sins to grandma......"

The slap slapped Xianying's face, and Lou Qiaoying raised her chin and shouted coldly: "Lou Xianying! You're a six-room minion, I'm not! ”

"I forgot you were from the longhouse...... Xianying, take your sister down! Man Yun angrily sat back on the Luohan couch, smashed a few cases with his fists, and roared: "Let her go!" Get out of here! ”

Lou Qiaoying, who was pulled by Xianying in fear, glared at Man Yun coldly. His eyes deliberately lingered on the hairpin that was slapped on the case by Man Yun, and he was reluctantly dragged out of the door by his sister.

The room is quiet. Zhou Manyun's long eyelashes flashed. frowned and pursed his lips, and reached out very seriously to pull out the small hair pin used to fix the sideburns from between the black feathers, one after the other......

"She really used the apricot words! Are you sure she poisoned you with a fine needle? Lu Shou carefully searched for a half in Lou Qiaoying's ears, stretched out his fingers and rubbed the star turmeric, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes! I also thank Xiao Lu's father-in-law for helping the slave family test the medicine a while ago. I was able to barely hold on. Lou Qiaoying, who confirmed that there was no residual poison in her body, also relaxed, and saluted Lu Shou, revealing a faint joy of the beginning of the great achievement.

Idiot! Lu Shou secretly sarcastically commented on the woman in front of him who thought he had a plan.

The apricot words used to induce confessions have very little damage to the human body, but in order to keep Lou Qiaoying clear and clear during the trial, she can complete those pre-arranged words. However, he tried several poisons for her repeatedly for several days in a row to prevent them. Poisons, defences, every combination of unscrupulous attempts had left irreversible damage to her brain, but no sign had been issued at this time.

Grandfather Lu Zheng confessed that he wanted to kill his wife and husband in the sixth room, and the son Xiao Ze also explained that he was working hard to achieve the same goal. Now, Jingge Chen Ding is irreversible, and only by listening to Xiao Ze's words can he truly save Xiao Hong's life......

After a few days of thinking, Lu Shou had tried his best to minimize the guilt of betraying the master.

The night is getting deeper, and the deep rockery in the moonlight is like a monster with its teeth open, and it makes an eerie dark laugh as the wind blows through the forest. Lu Shou, who was busier than in the daytime, squatted in the monster's mouth, waiting for another woman to see in secret.

The slender figure came from far and near, stood still at the mouth of the rockery, and placed a makeup box and a lantern on a large stone as if unintentionally.

Lu Shou quickly opened the box without saying a word. In the box, on the fine flannel cloth, there are a bunch of hairpins of different sizes.

Women are more accustomed to drugs than men, and they have an advantage in Tibetan characters. Clothes and accessories, sachets and embroidered handkerchiefs, to all kinds of jewelry heads. Almost all of the objects used by Zhou Manyun now are uniformly customized by the Xiao family, and she is not at all concerned about letting the maids clean up, and Lu Shou has not quenched the poison before.

Therefore, Qiao Ying came to the door in a daze, and another use was to confirm the location of Man Yun's habit of hiding drugs.

In addition to Xu Manyun's poison and his son, only Xiao Hong, who has seen silver, knows the inside story in detail, and everyone else thinks that she hides the poison wonderfully. Emperor Taiye's death was strange back then, whether it was Tianxiangyuan or Lu Shou, until now, Manyun just sneaked into the Xiakou Palace to play for a few days, and he slipped away after saving Xu Yu.

Picking out eight hair needles quenched with different poisons, Lu Shou carefully wrapped them in silk pars, and waved his hand to the person who sent the hair needles, "I'll send these back early tomorrow morning for you to put away!" ”。 Although the poison has not been identified yet, it can be determined that it is all toxins that need to be pierced to see blood, and Lu Shou is even more sure in his heart.

With the poisonous needle in his sleeve, Lu Shou did not walk back to his hut, but walked around the rockery for half a circle, and stood in front of the waist-high cabin of the people.

Amethyst, who was locked inside, heard the sound of footsteps, jumped up, and cleverly climbed on the top window of the cloth mesh gold wire mesh, and her glass eyes were clean and clear.

Lu Shou let out a long sigh faintly, and his slender figure was blurred and lonely.

It's not dawn yet. The needle, which had been carefully examined for the toxins, was returned to Manyun's room.

But Zhou Manyun, who was later than a few days ago, not only didn't notice it at all, but didn't even look at it, and let Lu Shou and the others worry blindly for a long time.

Man Yun didn't have the heart to comb his hair and dress up at all, so when he came together, he pulled his voice unkempt and called people, leaning on the couch as if he wanted to cry, and he had to go to Luojing City to call Xiao Hong back immediately.

And then on. The people sent by the front foot had only set off for less than half an hour, and she tossed and sent a second wave, and Guri was strangely angry.

When Shen was approaching, a group of well-armored soldiers with neatly dressed servants came to the Golden Harvest Garden from Luojing City. The men and horses were ordered to wait outside the garden, and the young man who led the party only brought a few attendants into the garden to meet his mother.

After a while, Zhou Manyun was invited to the main courtyard by Mrs. Xu. Of course, according to the convention of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. also spared a few of Manyun's concubines.

The Xiao family that Mrs. Xu ordered them to meet was not Xiao Hong, who was urged by Zhou Manyun three times and invited four times, but Xiao Tan, the second eldest of the Xiao family, who was ordered by the king to receive official duties. His body standing beside Mrs. Xu was stiff, and he still maintained the same coffin face as when he was in Yunzhou.

Seeing that Man Yunza was late among the female dependents, Xiao Tan helplessly sighed at his mother-in-law's big battle, coughed, and explained his intention again.

"Yesterday morning, the second daughter of the Ministry of Officials died violently. The doctor in charge reported to the Epidemic Prevention Department and said that the girl suspected that the girl of the Ji family was scratched by a beast and suffered from hydrophobia...... This morning, the Royal Hospital also sent someone to check together. The cause of death was confirmed to be aquaphobia...... After investigation, the best friend of the Ji family's daughter confirmed that she had a quarrel with her on Kangning Street and was scratched by the mink raised by the other party......"

In the first half of the foreshadowing, all the women in the hall pretended to understand in a daze, but as soon as they mentioned the little mink, their eyes couldn't stop glancing at Man Yun.

There are not many people who raise mink for fun. And if the official girl is injured, she can simply run away, and it is estimated that there is only one family in Luojing City.

Mrs. Xu, who was seated, was angry and took the case, and Zhou Manyun naturally found the most comfortable position and knelt down in fear to plead guilty.

"I don't know what the second brother is going to do with Amethyst?" , Man Yun covered the veil over his eyes and asked reluctantly.

"Ji Shixun, as well as several civil officials close to him, have sent the excerpt of the impeachment of Xiaoliu to his father. Father...... Let's bring the mink back to the city. It will be examined by a veterinarian before disposal. ”

Want to hand over amethyst? Thinking of the small body of Amethyst in his previous life full of arrows, Zhou Manyun couldn't help biting his red lip.

"Take it away, of course! You can't leave a hidden danger of hydrophobia in the garden! Mrs. Xu immediately made a decision for Man Yun, and even sent someone to the sixth room to find Amethyst in a hurry and sent it directly outside the garden.

Man Yun mourned, crying and begging to see Amethyst. Xiao Wan helped, and several sisters-in-law also casually showed goodwill.

In the end, the small cage with the dense gold and copper wire mesh was brought up by Lu Shou, who was tightly frowning, and the amethyst, which was imprisoned in the cage, fluttered dissatisfiedly, baring its fine teeth.

Is Grandpa Zi, who is calling one by one, going to give up in the end? Amethyst to the north, Lu Shou to the south for a period of time, I am afraid that this little eunuch will understand how unreliable it is to rely on a little beast for his life! Man Yun stood up from the ground and stared at Lu Shou with flickering eyes with disgruntle.

"Second brother! Amethyst recognizes life and refuses to eat outside! It's better to ask the second brother to take this little eunuch away as well. The corners of his mouth sneered, and Zhou Manyun's fingers were about to poke the tip of Lu Shou's nose.

Lu Shou's eyes widened in shock. According to the order of the prince, he will also follow Man Yun to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple on June 15.

"Lu Shou, but please think about your dead grandfather! Follow Amethyst! If it is in trouble, you may want to open the cage and let it go on its own. You look for death, don't drag it to death with you! Seeing Lu Shou's hesitation, Man Yun pulled his collar sharply and gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly.

The little eunuch's face twitched, and he reached out and retracted the cage that he handed to the guard.

"Father-in-law Lu is the original owner of Mink Amethyst, so let's take care of it together!" , Xiao Tan responded kindly. According to Xiao Rui's initial instructions, it was necessary to find out whether the mink was poisonous, and no one could slander Xiaoliu at will. The words were preferential, and people couldn't help but treat the young suspects who had not yet been convicted cautiously.

That's good! found out that Zhou Manyun had a poison needle, and went to Amethyst, which can detect drugs, and he can be regarded as completing most of the task. Or perhaps, when he arrives in the city, the prince will send himself back. Lu Shou looked down at the cage in his hand, and honestly stood beside the guard behind Xiao Tan.

Mrs. Xu kindly talked to Xiao Tan and her eldest daughter-in-law Qin Shizhong for a few more words, and then turned her head and faced Zhou Manyun with a solemn face.

"Little sixth daughter-in-law! Although it has not yet been found out whether the mink carries the epidemic virus, but you have seen the sky in the sixth room and mixed with this little thing......", Mrs. Xu rubbed her forehead in embarrassment, and said earnestly: "There are still a bunch of children in the garden!" Man Yun, didn't you ever invite you to go to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple on June 15 to offer incense? Why don't you go two days earlier? There are also hot springs in the Cuirun Valley on the edge of the Great Ci'en Temple...... It is also good to wash away the filth and sweep the dust in the peach leaf fragrant soup, and then worship the Buddha devoutly. ”

Speaking of which, can it still be bad?

Zhou Manyun smiled at the corner of her mouth, and sincerely thanked her mother-in-law for her kindness. (To be continued......)
