Chapter 139: Proving Innocence
Su Yunran looked at the county order with a smile, and the meaning of the words was on the table. I took over the work of the yamen, which delayed me to make a lot of money.
The county magistrate impatiently took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from his body: "One hundred taels, three meals a day!" ”
Su Yunran took it with a smile, and said: "Look, I make medicinal food, and this post house will only prepare ordinary ingredients, but I still have to spend money to buy medicinal herbs......"
The county magistrate looked at her with a beard and glaring, how did such a philistine woman get into Liang Hezhen's eyes? His daughter Xiuwai Huizhong is a pearl, this woman is a fish eye at best, is it difficult to choose this pearl compared to the fish eye?
"Fifty taels, all kinds of medicinal materials, right? It's just cooking and not boiling medicine, and the medicinal materials don't use much! "The prefectural order is already on the verge of going berserk. Su Yunran was also going to stop fighting, took the money, and left happily.
As soon as he walked out of the gate of the post house, a light cough came from his side: "You are still the first person to knock on the bamboo pole of the county order." ”
Su Yunran turned his face, and it turned out to be Liang Hezhen: "Xianggong!" Why are you here? ”
Liang Hezhen held the lantern and reached out to the center of her eyebrows and nodded: "You are embarrassed to ask, you don't look at what time it is." I went back to Drunken Yunzhai to hear Ah Qing say that you were brought to the post house, it seems that my lady's craftsmanship was recognized by the third prince? ”
Su Yunran smiled: "I can't help it!" Heaven descends on the Si people! I must first knock on the county order and a bamboo pole to relieve my anger. I don't know when the mission will leave, but I negotiated the price with the county commander, one hundred taels a day. ”
Su Yunran was full of joy, but Liang Hezhen's face had always been very solemn, and Su Yunran restrained his smile: "Xianggong, what's wrong?" ”
Liang Hezhen shook his head and pinched her face: "Get in the car first, let's go back." ”
After returning to Zuiyunzhai and having a brief meal, Liang Hezhen pulled Su Yunran and said, "Lady, if nothing else, the mission should leave in three days." However, there will definitely be waves in the middle, so you must be careful in the post house and don't have too much contact with Xiao Cheng. ”
Su Yunran was a little puzzled: "There will definitely be waves?" Xianggong, what does this mean? ”
Liang Hezhen said: "The mission sent by the Yue Kingdom this time is not just a simple birthday celebration, to be precise, it should be the drunkard's intention not to drink." Now that Daqi's national strength is weakening, the tigers and wolves around him want to get a piece of the pie from Daqi.
This time, they also wanted to consider the current national strength of Daqi to see if they were qualified to be an alliance with them. If he is qualified, then the county lord will stay in Daqi. If he is not qualified, then the county lord will die in the Great Apocalypse. ”
Su Yunran was stunned for a moment, she really didn't think about it so much: "Marriage as an alliance is the most direct way, and the county lord can die in the Great Apocalypse...... I do not quite understand. ”
Liang Hezhen explained: "If the county lord dies in Daqi, Daqi will have a responsibility that absolutely cannot be escaped. Then, either Daqi will compensate something to give an account to the expelled country, or he will give the expelled country a reason to go to war. ”
Su Yunran wiped his sweat, why are there so many doorways here?
"Then we can't seem to do anything, right?"
Liang Hezhen shook his head: "Some people very much hope that Daqi and the Yue Kingdom will fall out. ”
Su Yunran was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the previous battle in the north: "You mean, Chang Qingguo doesn't want Daqi and Zhuyue to form an alliance?" ”
Liang Hezhen nodded: "Yes, although Chang Qingguo and Daqi reached a truce through negotiations, the war can be suspended or continued." Previously, Chang Qingguo chose a truce, not because Daqi was strong, but because he had miscalculated the terrain and weather in advance. As a result, the battle line was stretched too long, the supply of grain and grass was insufficient, and the war had to be truce. ”
"Okay, you go to sleep first, I'm afraid it won't be too quiet these nights, I have to keep watch." The current Great Apocalypse can't withstand a large-scale battle, so even if it is not for the sake of the Rotten Wood Dynasty, it must be for the sake of the people of Limin, and the mission must not be used as a reason to rekindle the war.
The next day, Su Yunran went to the post house early in the morning.
Breakfast is still relatively light, or mainly to strengthen the spleen and stomach.
There were still several hours before lunch, and Su Yunran was about to go back to Zuiyunzhai first, but at this time, he heard crying from the courtyard.
This cry...... How does it sound familiar?
Su Yunran leaned out and saw Xiao Cheng walking in with Su Yunli in his arms.
I didn't expect that the Wang family really had some ability in this regard, and Su Yunli really hooked up with Xiao Yi. However, it's a pity that this Xiao Cheng is not a decent gentleman, but I'm afraid that she really wants to empty the bamboo basket.
Breakfast was set up in Xiao Pi's room on the second floor, and as soon as he entered the door, he was hooked by the aroma.
Putting down Su Yunli in his arms, he asked affectionately, "Does it still hurt?" Okay, don't cry, the tears of my daughter's family are precious pearls. Come on, go add a pair of dishes and chopsticks. ”
Su Yunli was still sobbing, and the pear blossoms brought the rain so pitiful: "Thank you, Lord Wang, I'm ...... I'm going back, my father can't find me, so I'm in a hurry. ”
Xiao Pi pressed her hand and smiled softly: "How can this work?" It is the king who caused you to be injured, and the king should be responsible. Don't worry, your father, this king will send someone to inform. Come, taste the porridge boiled by Hong Yang's best master. ”
Xiao Pi scooped a spoonful of porridge for her, and specially blew it before sending it to her mouth. Su Yunli opened her mouth shyly, her eyes were red from crying, like a wounded rabbit, not to mention how much she loved the man.
If Su Yunli still had some sanity before, but under Xiao Qi's gentle offensive, those sanities were thrown out of the clouds.
At this time, what she thought in her heart was that Wang was right, if she gambled, she might be able to live a life of a superior person. Everyone wants to turn a sparrow into a phoenix, but there are few people who are willing to pay the price, so she has to be not afraid to pay.
Wang said that what men like is a woman's desire to refuse and welcome, and half pushing and half is the most difficult for them to control.
Su Yunli still showed a frightened little face to Xiao Cheng: "Lord Wang, I'm ...... It's really time for me to go. ”
The more she said she wanted to go, the more the man wanted to keep her.
Sure enough, Xiao Cheng got closer to her again, and took advantage of her not enough to simply pull her to his lap: "Don't worry, I'm in such a hurry to leave, isn't this king's porridge delicious?" ”
Su Yunli shook her head: "No, no, this porridge tastes so good, the folk girl has never eaten such a delicious porridge." It's just that...... I...... Men and women don't kiss, the prince is like this...... Not good. ”
As she spoke, she struggled to get up from his lap, and then Xiao Cheng's hand around her waist tightened: "Do men and women kiss or not?" In this king, only this king is willing or not, and there is no good or bad. If you think that's not good, then ......"
Xiao Cheng evoked an evil smile, hugged her figure in a flash, and pressed the person on the bed: "Is this good?" ”
Su Yunli's face turned red all at once, the fragrance of the girl's body, the red cheeks caused by shyness, and the pink lips. Xiao Cheng was a little uncontrollable, and Su Yunli's mind went blank.
I thought I had gotten out, but I was a little scared at this juncture.
What else did Wang say? You can't let a man get it too easily, you must whet his appetite.
Su Yunli hurriedly supported Xiao Yan's shoulders with both hands: "Lord Wang...... That's not good! I'm hungry and I want some porridge. ”
Su Yunli escaped, which really made Xiao Yi's heart more nourishing. What woman used to slip away in his bed? This little girl is a bit interesting, she takes retreat as advance, and she is quite smart.
I don't know why, Xiao Yi's mind suddenly flashed Su Yunran's face.
Retreating as advance, didn't the woman report to her family that she had a husband as soon as she came up? Perhaps, this is also a kind of retreat as advance?
Finding that Xiao Cheng was unexpectedly distracted for a moment, Su Yunli was a little unsure. My heart is about to jump out of my throat, but don't fall short at this time.
Xiao Cheng quickly regained his mind and pulled Su Yunli to sit down and eat porridge.
Su Yunli wanted to stand up for her simple and harmless character like a hundred flowers, but she was afraid that if she said too much, she would lose, so she simply chatted with Xiao Cheng about this breakfast.
This chat, I didn't expect to talk about Su Yunran.
"What? Do you know Shopkeeper Su? Ah yes, you are also surnamed Su, don't you have any origin? Xiao Cheng asked.
Su Yunli shook her head: "No!" I've just heard that the business of Zuiyunzhai is not ordinarily good. I ......" Before Su Yunli finished speaking, her face suddenly changed, and she foamed at the mouth and fell down.
Xiao Cheng was shocked: "Someone! Coming soon! Xiao Pi's eyes were locked on the porridge on the table, and he had just taken a bite, just a small bite......
"Doctor, go and call the doctor! Also, bring Su Yunran to this king! ”
At this time, Su Yunran didn't know what was going on, and was packing up and preparing to go back to Zuiyunzhai first. As for Su Yunli, she has already persuaded everything she should have persuaded, everyone has their own destiny to see her own creation!
"Stop! Someone, this woman plotted to kill the prince, and she was immediately detained! Su Yunran was detained with a stunned face, and he couldn't even say a word of justification, so he was sent directly to see Xiao Cheng.
As soon as she entered the house, Su Yunran was pushed to the ground, and she first smelled a strange smell.
Before she could figure out what it tasted like, Xiao Cheng angrily smashed a teacup in front of her: "Su Yunran, you are so bold!" ”
Su Yunran was looking at Xiao Cheng and Su Yunli, who was already unconscious on the bed. But with just one look, she could almost tell that she had been poisoned.
Su Yunran turned her gaze to the porridge on the table again, and she seemed to have understood: "Lord Wang, the folk woman doesn't know what mistake she has made, so she wants to be punished?" ”
Execution?
If it weren't for the wrong timing, Xiao Cheng would have laughed out loud. It's just a push for her, which is called torture on her? This woman's back-to-back rake turned out to be as exquisite as her cooking, and he seemed to know her better.
"Bold! Su Yunran, you dare to poison the porridge and want to poison the prince, saying, who made you do this? Xiao Cheng didn't speak, but a eunuch who came with the mission said proudly.
Su Yunran smiled: "The prince thinks that I poisoned the porridge I made?" Just because I made this porridge? Then I have to ask the prince, how many people have handled this porridge from the time I made it to the pot to the prince's table, and finally to the prince's mouth? If the prince thinks that I poisoned the porridge just because I made it, then the woman will not accept it! ”
Justified, but also arrogant! Xiao Cheng really felt more elusive the more she looked at her, this woman was as cunning as a little fox. But the more arrogant she was, the more amusing he became.
"Although this porridge has handled many people, you are the one who makes the porridge, and your suspicion is the greatest. This king gives you three hours to prove your innocence, otherwise, this king will consider you a murderer! ”
Su Yunran wanted to roll his eyes, did the people who chased the Yue country talk about unreasonableness so fresh and refined?
Su Yunran stood up by himself and dusted off his skirt: "Is this how the case is handled by the Yue Kingdom?" It is not to prove the guilt of the suspect, but to prove the innocence of the suspect himself. It's amazing, if this is the case for the country, then I have nothing to say. ”
Xiao Pi's face darkened, and the eunuch on the side immediately scolded when he saw this: "Bold! Questioning the laws of our country! The little village woman dared to speak out! Come on, slap your mouth! ”
Xiao Cheng didn't say anything, and the eunuch was pretending to be a tiger.
Su Yunran glanced at Su Yunli on the bed: "Lord Wang, can you save this girl?" ”
Xiao Cheng's eyes swept over, and he was about to retreat to the front palm-mouthed eunuch and guard.
Xiao Cheng looked at Su Yunran: "What, can you cure this poison?" ”
Su Yunran glanced at the sweaty doctor who was at a loss: "If I can detoxify it, will the prince say that you can detoxify this poison, which fully proves that you are the one who poisoned you." Lord, you say, am I the solution to this poison or not? ”
Xiao Cheng was almost made to laugh and cry by her words, but if he had to hold back and pretend to be cold: "Okay, if you can really solve it, this king can give you a little more time to prove his innocence." ”
Su Yunran took out the silver needle, and then swallowed a pill from Su Yunli. After about half a pillar of incense, Su Yunli spit out a mouthful of black blood, but his face turned from dark green to ruddy.
Xiao Cheng was so surprised, she didn't expect that in addition to cooking good dishes, she would also know medical skills. Strange, isn't such a woman staying in this kind of place just a pearl covered with dust?
Xiao Cheng coughed lightly and said: "This king also ate a mouthful of porridge, look at it, is this king poisoned?" ”
Su Yunran gave her a pulse: "Don't worry, the little poison that the prince ate has been solved by your liver." ”
Su Yunran loosened his muscles: "Then now, I will prove my innocence." Trouble the prince to go, and Lord Yicheng also called. ”
Xiao Pi was very curious about how she would prove her innocence, so he subconsciously let her go. The group arrived at the kitchen, and Yi Cheng squeezed forward with a notebook in his hand.
Su Yunran scooped out a bowl of porridge from the pot: "Lord Wang, the porridge of you and the county lord is boiled out of this pot." Lord Yicheng watched me scoop it out of this with my own eyes, and the bowl left in this pot was originally for the county lord, but the county lord did not eat this porridge since tonight.
Because I make medicinal food, for the sake of insurance, I told the prefectural magistrate that every time something is presented, the post lord will try it first and then present it. Moreover, the herbs I use are recorded in the book for easy inspection. ”
