Chapter 388: What is Anti-Food?
Unexpectedly, the two of them had extremely hard mouths, and they only said that they had something unspeakable, and they refused to open their mouths to tell the inside story.
However, the painting color of the greenhouse hall was extremely frightened, and he confessed tremblingly: "Qiqi Guo County Lord, Ma Gongzheng, Ah Yi ...... He and his servant are 'opposites', and we only meet ...... Just ......"
Painting Cai said that he refused to say any more, it seemed difficult to speak, but Xilingyue didn't understand, and asked bluntly: "What is 'anti-food'?" β
Ma Gongzheng was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and hurriedly explained in her ear, and Xilingyue realized that her cheeks were already flushed.
"Even if it's a 'right food', it can't prove your innocence, and this matter can only be done with the help of acquaintances." Xiling Yue said calmly, "As for whether the two of you have nothing to do with this matter, the county lord and the palace bureau will check it themselves." β
As soon as she finished speaking, Ma Gongzheng had already cleared his throat and continued in a deep voice: "The palace has always strictly forbidden 'right food', and now that the sect official has learned about it, you will have to be punished. β
Hearing this, Zhang Yi and Huacai both breathed a sigh of relief, and repeatedly expressed their willingness to be punished, and there was no longer the fear of Fang Cai.
Xiling Yue turned to look at Fang Fei, the palace maid in the Lizheng Palace, and finally asked, "They have all been recruited, what about you?" What are you doing in the Inner Minister's Office? β
Fang Fei lowered her head shyly, and replied in a voice like a mosquito: "Don't dare to hide it from the county lord, the maid is also looking for the 'right food', and he is on an errand in the Inner Servant Province......"
Another one who engages in "right food"! The atmosphere in the Xiling Moon Dark Dao Palace was not good, but her face did not move, and she asked her calmly: "Who is your 'opposite food'?" β
Fang Fei closed her mouth tightly and refused to say anything.
Ma Gongzheng interjected and said: "If you refuse to speak, you will have to bear the responsibility of two people, what will happen to you, do you know?" β
Fang Fei nodded slightly, but still refused to spit out, only said: "The servant knows, but he has a deep affection for the servant, and the servant must not confess him!" β
Ma Gong sneered and stopped talking.
When Xiling Yue asked this, she also had a general conjecture in her heart, so she said: "Okay, you all have reasons, but whether it is true or false has yet to be verified." close
In Ji Meiren's case, if you can take the initiative to confess or provide valuable clues, the county lord can protect you from death. Think about it! β
Leaving this sentence, Xiling Yue and Ma Gong are leaving. As soon as she walked out of the prison, she immediately took off her majestic mask, revealing her original escape and agility. Thinking of the new word "right food" she just heard, she asked curiously: "Ma Gongzheng, is there a lot of 'right food' in the palace?" β
"This ......," Ma Gong replied thoughtfully, "not really." It's just that after Ji Meiren's accident, the Lizheng Hall has been vacant, and the palace people lack discipline, so they will inevitably get fatter, but they will let you bump into it. β
Isn't it? Xiling Yue pursed her mouth and instructed the other party: "The Lao Fu Palace is taking care of the five people separately, and they must not commit suicide, and they must prevent someone from assassinating and robbing the prison." β
"Yes, Xia Guan understands."
"Especially," Xiling Yue emphatically emphasized, "look closely at Fang Fei in the main hall of Li. β
However, Xiling Yue actually became a prophecy!
Just three days after the arrest of the five palace people, someone infiltrated the palace prison of the palace bureau.
At the end of the year, many of the guards had taken turns on leave, and those who were left behind were also unintentional. On the night of the twentieth day of the lunar month, the Ministry of Internal Service was ordered by the Son of Heaven to reward the Shence Army and the female officers of the Sixth Bureau, bringing many fine wines and dishes.
Originally, the guards were not allowed to drink alcohol when they were on duty, but Ma Gong saw that they had been working extremely hard these days, so he was relieved and said that he could drink and not get drunk. She also emphasized that the guards guarding the five palace people were exceptional, and they had to stay out of alcohol.
The guards thanked Ma Gong for their kindness and began to drink heartily. Unexpectedly, after a few cups of yellow soup in the lower abdomen, everyone felt that their hands and feet were sore, and they immediately fell to the ground and fell into a coma. Immediately afterwards, a burst of incense slowly attacked, and the guards guarding the five palace people also fell to the ground one after another.
A black figure crept into the prison and pulled out the key to the guard's waist.
In order to prevent collusion or framing each other, Xilingyue has ordered the five people to be detained separately. The cells of the Gongzheng Bureau are all made of dark iron, and the cell doors are airtight, leaving only a small movable window for the guards to deliver food and water.
The man in black walked to a certain cell door, opened the small window and looked inside, then took out the key to open the door and dodged in.
The sound of "squeak" came, and Fang Fei, who was leaning against the corner, slowly raised her head. After three nights of interrogation, she was already covered in injuries, but fortunately, Gong Zhengju was not ruthless, so she was able to carry it hard.
Seeing the visitor, Fang Fei's eyes lit up, and she got up eagerly: "You're finally here!" β
The man in black tore off the face towel, quickly walked up to her, and only asked, "Have you confessed to me?" β
Fang Fei hurriedly shook her head: "Don't worry, no matter how the palace is tortured, the maid insists that she is going to see the 'right food', and she doesn't say anyone's name." β
"That's good." The man in black had a smile on his face, but a fierce color flashed in his eyes, and his hand raised and fell, making a gesture to kill Fang Fei.
However, just as the blade was about to touch her neck, there was a soft "pop", and it was a stone that slammed into the back of his hand. The man in black felt pain in his right hand, and as soon as his head was deflected, the blade grazed Fang Fei's cheek, leaving a striking blood mark, causing her to scream.
The man in black was shocked, and immediately turned to look out of the door, and saw Pei Xingli leaning on his sword
At the door, he looked at him with a calm face.
Only then did the man in black remember that he had taken off the face towel, and his heart suddenly tightened, and he subconsciously ran over to kill someone. Pei Xingli reacted very quickly, quickly squatted down to dodge, and at the same time revealed the situation behind himβit was a team of Shence troops standing silently outside the prison door, everyone holding bows and crossbows facing the door.
Seeing this, the man in black immediately changed his mind and wanted to kill himself, but Pei Xingli kicked his weapon away. The next moment, the Shence Army had quickly broken in, firmly bound him to the ground.
It wasn't until the situation was under control that Xiling Yue walked into the cell unhurriedly, followed by Ma Gongzheng. The former wore a black corseted equestrian suit, the latter wore an official uniform, and the two women each held a bow and crossbow, apparently for self-defense.
"County Lord, County Lord!" When Fang Fei saw Xiling Yue, she suddenly fell at her feet, raised her face full of blood, and said earnestly, "The maid has attracted the murderer according to your instructions, and please call the shots and spare the maid's life!" β
Xi Lingyue saw the long blood mark on her left cheek, and promised softly: "Don't worry, I will do what I say." Today, if you make meritorious deeds, I will send you to the court and spare your life. β
Fang Fei was overjoyed when she heard this, knelt down and kowtowed, and kept saying, "Thank you county lord!" Thank you, Lord County! β
"Get up." Xiling Yue turned to Ma Gongzheng and said, "Lao Fu Gong is going to pay a salute to the saint. Also, remember to take Fang Fei to the Department of Medicine to see the injury, and let the remaining four palace people go. β
