Chapter VI: Escort
Since he wants to be poisoned, Biliu naturally can't let others suspect him, and it is really impossible to find Shi Qingluo as a substitute for the dead ghost, so there are only the two women in the backyard. Bi Liu hurriedly pushed open the door, Bi Ran and Bi Fang each sat on one end, counting the copper coins in their palms, it seems that the two of them went out to play cards today and won a lot.
Biliu stepped forward and said, "You two don't play, come out and help me cook, the doctor came to see Miss Four today, Miss Four said that she wanted to keep him for dinner, I can't do it alone, you two come to help me." ”
The two glanced at each other, lowered their heads impatiently and pretended not to hear, Biliu was angry, "You two don't want to die, that doctor knows about us, now I can bribe him with a meal and gag his mouth, if you offend him because of this and scatter our affairs, don't regret it." ”
Bi Ran still looked disapproving, but Bi Fang's expression changed, put away the copper coin in her palm, and said, "I'll go with you." ”
It's good that someone is following, Bi Liu has something in her heart, and hurriedly pulls Bi Fang into the kitchen to prepare.
Bifang's cooking skills are not bad, after a few dishes are done, Bifang wiped her hands, "You bring the dishes to Miss Four, I'm going back to the room." ”
Biliu shouted, grabbed her hand, and blinked, "You go back to rest for a while, and then go to the main hall later, you think, now the money in the house is in the hands of the fourth lady, if Dr. Lin is happy with this meal, the fourth miss will definitely have a reward, for the sake of you helping me cook, I will share your share." ”
"Really!" Bi Fang didn't expect this kind of pie-dropping good thing, and agreed to it.
When she left happily, Biliu sneered and scolded "stupid", she surrounded herself before taking out a packet of powder from her waist, sprinkling it evenly on several dishes in front of her, stirring it up and going to the main hall.
Doctor Lin was still a little restrained, Biliu brought all the dishes, and then said with a smile: "Doctor Lin eats well, the slaves and maids are guarding outside, you call us when you are ready." Biliu only hoped that he could die quietly, and if he was by his side, he would inevitably be suspicious, so he turned around and retreated.
The main hall is in front of Shi Qingluo's courtyard, only separated by a ring corridor, Dr. Lin looked at the table full of dishes, picked up the chopsticks and was about to taste it, when a light cough sounded behind him, "Mr. Lin." ”
Doctor Lin turned his head and saw Shi Qingluo coming with a cloak, and hurriedly put down his chopsticks and stepped forward, "The girl is still sick, how can she come out to blow the wind at will, if it is only for the old man, it is really not worth it." Dr. Lin shook his head again and again.
Shi Qingluo was embarrassed, "It's really a strict family education in the past, and it's really rude to let the guests eat alone, Biliu also persuaded me to come and accompany me, I couldn't pass this level in my heart after thinking about it, so I came to Mr. Lin to have a look." Shi Qingluo glanced back, "This dish is really rich, Mr. Lin doesn't have to be polite to me anymore, Mr. Eat it." ”
Doctor Lin answered, turned around and walked to the table, this look was startled, it turned out that I don't know when, there was a gray-skinned mouse squatting between the layers of jade plates, thin only skin and bones, at first glance, it looked like he had been hungry for a long time, he was buried in a dish of food, and the surrounding dishes were also a mess.
Shi Qingluo let out a "ah", retreated several steps in a row, and showed a look of horror on his face, "There are rats in this mansion!"
Shi Qingluo pretended to be ashamed and lowered his head, "I'm really sorry for Mr. Lin, I specially invited you to dinner, but I never thought that I would be ruined by this beast......"
Doctor Lin was free and easy, smiling and waving his hand: "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, the girl doesn't have to blame herself." ”
Shi Qingluo smiled shyly: "I'll ask my subordinates to clean up and redo it for Mr." ”
Shi Qingluo was about to shout, his eyes suddenly fell on the round table not far away, his ruddy cherry lips were bloodless, and his legs fell to the ground as soon as he was weak.
Doctor Lin was taken aback, and stepped forward to hug Shi Qingluo, "What's wrong with the girl?"
Shi Qingluo raised his arm and shook his finger at the table, and said tremblingly: "That, how can that mouse ......!"
Doctor Lin looked at Shi Qingluo's point, and the smile in his eyes gradually froze.
The rat that was still shuttling between the plates to eat was now lying on all fours on the plate, and the white foam spit out of his mouth was stained everywhere, and Dr. Lin had practiced medicine for so many years, and he instantly understood that this rat was poisoned.
Shi Qingluo frowned tightly and said, "Don't misunderstand Mr. Lin, I don't mean to harm Mr.!"
Shi Qingluo shouted, alarming Biliu and Bifang outside, Biliu had a hint of joy in his eyes, thinking that his plan had been accomplished, and he hurriedly ran into the house, shouting: "Fourth Miss!
Bifang rushed in with her puzzled.
Doctor Lin was helping Shi Qingluo up with a serious face, and before the two people outside came in, Doctor Lin endured his anger and said to her: "Girl, the old man is not a person who is unforgiving, and he also knows that the girl has been wronged, the old man wanted to give her a chance, but he never thought that she was so vicious, this matter may push the girl to the forefront, but the old man will never be able to bear this person! If you let it go, the old man himself will not be able to keep his own safety!"
Shi Qingluo lowered his eyes, his eyes were full of tears, he gritted his teeth and said, "What Mr. Lin said is that I can't live with Mr., I didn't expect her to harbor evil intentions, if it weren't for the mouse, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to explain this matter even if I have a hundred mouths today, Mr. rest assured, no matter how Mr. wants to deal with her, Shi Qingluo will listen to Mr." ”
After the two of them finished talking, Biliu and Bifang pushed the door in.
Seeing that Dr. Lin was standing at the table intact, but there was a big mouse foaming at the table lying on the table, Bi Liu's body shook suddenly, and she knelt on the ground with a pop, Bi Fang fell backwards again and again, "This, this ......"
Doctor Lin didn't look at the two maids who rushed in, and left the Shi Mansion directly, Biliu wanted to stop him, but he was knocked to the ground again.
After Dr. Lin left, Shi Qingluo put away the grief on his face and sat on the chair at the table.
"The world says that if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and it seems that there is some truth in it. Shi Qingluo raised his chin slightly, tapped his fingertips on the tabletop, and said quietly.
Bifang knelt down suddenly, crying with tears: "Fourth Miss Mingjian, the slave maid has never poisoned the dish, the slave maid has not done anything bad, Miss must help the slave maid!"
Bi Fang pushed Bi Liu, "She must have done it! She was worried that Dr. Lin would tell her about bullying Miss, so she poisoned her! Miss must have done it! This matter has nothing to do with the slave maid! Fourth Miss save the slave maid!"
Bi Liu didn't know how to defend herself, she just stared at the table of dishes in a daze, and only after a while did she rush forward to overturn the dishes, shaking her head stiffly, "I didn't do it, I didn't do it! It has nothing to do with me! It's his own dishonesty, it's him who tells the matter, it's none of my business!"
When Bi Fang saw Bi Liu doing this, she immediately put her mind at ease.
Shi Qingluo sneered, straightened the cloak on his body and got up and walked towards the door, his toes stopped at the threshold of the back door of the main hall, bent down and picked up the iron cage that was held by the night and couldn't see the shape clearly......
#
Dr. Lin beat the drum in the middle of the night, accusing the subordinates of Shi Zhai of poisoning his dishes and murdering them, and within half an hour, Biliu and Bifang were escorted away by the people of the Yamen.
Bi Ran stood behind Shi Qingluo, watching the people from the yamen take evidence and lead people away, until he couldn't see anyone, Shi Qingluo turned around and entered the mansion
"Close the door. ”
She said coldly.
