Ying'er smashed something like a small stone, and then I only felt that there was a commotion around it, and it was very chaotic.

"It's out of the water!"

"Someone, put out the fire!"

There has always been such a voice in her ears, Ying'er felt extremely harsh and noisy, she opened her eyes in a daze, and suddenly felt a sore feeling in the back of her neck, and her brain immediately became conscious, and the whole person became much more sober!

She was knocked out by Mingyue and Qiu Ju, so her current situation should be very dangerous.

As soon as she thought of this, she immediately stood up, but because she stood too violently, her feet were a little dizzy, and she couldn't stand steadily for a while, kicked a porcelain pot, and made a clanging and screeching sound.

Before she could understand what was going on, suddenly guards surrounded her in her direction.

"Who are you, what are you doing here!"

Only then did Ying'er find herself hiding in a corner not far from the burning yard, with her own baggage and two oil canisters placed next to her.

She felt a headache for a moment.

Because she already knew why Mingyue did this!

"You set the fire!You even want to escape from the house?!"

Before she could explain, the head of the guard had already approached and ordered them to take her down.

Ying'er is really speechless.

Why did she set fire to it for no reason, and how did she escape from the county king's mansion?

She glanced back at the fire, which was not too big, and had been almost extinguished by the guards.

Ying'er remembered that in the abandoned yard, there were several independent small rooms, which looked dilapidated and extremely easy to catch fire, thinking that Mingyue was burning those rooms, and I didn't know if the crazy woman was okay.

Ying'er was tied by the guards and thrown into the firewood room.

There was a fire in the house, and the only person who could catch the suspicious person was her, not to mention that this was a combination of stolen goods.

Although it is night, it is not a trivial matter to walk in the house, and the sound of the guards has also woken up a lot of people, but this seemingly abandoned courtyard is a forbidden place in the house, and no one is allowed to break in without permission on weekdays, after all, people who trespass will generally not end well.

The fire was brought under control, extinguished, and the house was finally quiet again.

Ying'er has been waiting by Rong Fangqi's side almost all day today, her body is already a little tired, and she was knocked by Mingyue, she is now sore, and she feels sleepy, and now she has been wronged as an arsonist, she has to find a way to clear her name.

But the current situation is very unfavorable for her.

He was "picked up" by the county lord halfway, and this identity has already made the princess of the county dislike, how can he believe his own words?

She confronted Mingyue and Qiu Ju alone, and she would inevitably have the upper hand, and it was too difficult to get out of the way.

If the eldest lady is here, she is so smart, there will definitely be a way, but unfortunately she is not as smart and wise as the eldest lady, and when she encounters such a predicament, even if she tries hard to break free, she doesn't seem to see hope.

Ying'er, who was physically and mentally exhausted, leaned on the corner of the firewood room like this, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she gradually fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, suddenly the door of the firewood room was opened all of a sudden, and Ying'er was woken up by the cold wind and loud noise that suddenly poured in, she opened her eyes, looked at the guards in front of her, and looked at the gloomy sky outside, thinking that it should be late at night.

"Get up!"

The guards looked at her like this, and they didn't feel any pity for her, after all, she was a suspect in arson.

Ying'er was taken to the main courtyard by the guards.

Now the main courtyard was brightly lit, illuminating her eyes a little dazed, and even some things could not see clearly, and after a long while, she realized that she had been taken to the lobby.

The man sitting in the main seat of the lobby was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, looking about forty years old, his temples were slightly white, but his eyes were sharp, as if he was looking at himself like a dangerous eagle.

Seeing his face, which was somewhat similar to that of Shizi, Ying'er suddenly understood that the person in front of her was the real owner of this county king's mansion - King Lijun, Rong Wu.

Ying'er was about to salute, but before she could be pushed to her knees by the two guards, she fell directly to the ground.

Rong Wu's eyes looked at the little maid in front of him, and asked, "Did you set fire to the Zhiyuan Courtyard?"

Ying'er hurriedly shook her head and said, "The slave and maid are wronged! The slave and maid did not set the fire!

The guard next to him said: "There are all the human and material evidence, do you still want to deny it?"

"The slave and maid were really wronged!" Ying'er hurriedly explained, "Those things were stuffed by others to the slave maid, and the slave and maid didn't expect it to be like this!"

The guard said again: "That burden and dagger are yours after all, right?"

Ying'er was stunned by his question, then nodded, and said: "It's a slave's thing, but that burden was secretly taken out by Mingyue, and she wants to threaten me, begging the king of the county to believe in the slave maid, the slave is just a new maid, and she is not even fully familiar with the road in the house, let alone where to set fire!"

Rong Wu looked at Ying'er and fell silent for a while.

"Lord Qiqi, the prince is here. "A guard came to report.

Ying'er looked up behind her, and sure enough, she saw Rong Fangyu's figure walking towards the lobby.

Dressed in a blue and white brocade robe, he looked a little thin, but when Ying'er saw him, she inexplicably felt that the prince might be willing to believe in herself.

Rong Wu's eyes dimmed inadvertently, looking at his son, but he was not half happy.

Rong Fangyu stepped forward, bringing a slight chill that brushed Ying'er's cheeks and made her more sober.

He stepped forward slowly, and then bowed his head to the king of Lijun and said, "Father." ”

Rong Wu's eyes stared at him: "What are you doing here?"

Rong Fangyu said: "There is a fire in the house, such a big movement, my son will naturally know, so come and take a look." ”

"The arsonist has been found, and you don't need to deal with it. Rong Wu said lightly.

Ying'er hurriedly explained: "The slave and the maid did not set the fire, the slave and the maid are really innocent! The king of the county, the prince, I beg you to believe in the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid were wronged!"

Rong Fangyu's eyes lightly glanced at Ying'er, who was kneeling on the ground with her hands tied.

Rong Wu said: "You said that someone else planted the blame on you, who are those two people?"

Ying'er bit her lip and said, "It's Mingyue and Qiu Ju, the second-class maids in the county lord's courtyard." ”

Rong Wu said again: "Why do they want to frame you? What's more, your burden and dagger are here, don't you just want to run for your life after committing a crime?"

"It's not like that. Ying'er didn't know why the king of the county refused to believe her, and he didn't even want to give her a chance to make things completely clear.

Rong Wu seemed to be reluctant to continue, and waved his hand and said, "Let's go down." ”

The guards were about to make a move, but Rong Fangyu said, "Father, slow down!"

Rong Wu raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Rong Fangyu: "What's the matter with you?"

"I think this maid has been wronged. Rong Fangyu said, "Why didn't my father give her a chance to tell the story as it was." ”

Ying'er felt a little incredulous when she heard Rong Fangyu speak for herself.

Shizi really believes that he is innocent?

Rong Wu said: "This matter has been decided by my father, and there is no need for you to interfere in it." ”

Rong Fangyu stood straight, his eyes were very clear, and said, "Since there is a grievance, we must find out the matter." ”

Rong Wu's gaze was slightly dull, and he looked at Rong Fangyu's gaze with concern.

"You keep saying that you have been wronged, and you tell the story of it. Rong Fangyu looked at Ying'er, showed a faint smile, then turned around and sat down on the side, looking at her.

Ying'er bowed her head, so she told the story of tonight in detail.

From the beginning of the maid's message, to Mingyue stealing her own burden, and even teaming up with Qiu Ju to blame herself, and finally being discovered.

"That's the way it is. Ying'er said, "From beginning to end, the slaves and maids have never set fires, nor have they tried to escape from the county king's mansion. The county lord treats the slave and maid with great kindness, and extends a helping hand to the slave and maid when the slave and maid are in trouble, and the slave and maid repay each other as a spring, but how can he take revenge and do such a thing?"

Rong Wu listened to Ying'er's words expressionlessly, but there was no fluctuation on his face.

"Go and bring Mingyue and Qiu Ju. Rong Fangyu said, "Separate trials, until they tell the truth." ”

The guard standing behind Rong Fangyu heard his words and immediately responded: "Yes!"

The guards then walked out, but Rong Wu did not say anything to stop him.

Rong Fangyu's tone was very convinced of the maid in front of him.

It's just that this maid is involved in Zhiyuan Yuan, I don't know if she has seen Lou Kite, if she does, she must not stay.

Soon Rong Fangyu's guards brought Mingyue and Qiu Ju over, and interrogated them separately according to what Rong Fangyu said.

So the guards conquered separately and said to Qiu Ju that Mingyue couldn't stand the truthful moves, and retreated the matter to her head, although Qiu Ju had a trace of disbelief, but after all, she was still afraid of being betrayed, and she was even more afraid that Mingyue would really push everything on her head, so she could only confess.

Qiu Ju confessed, and Mingyue couldn't stand the torture and confessed.

I finally confided in what happened at that time.

When Rong Wu heard that the two maids had sneaked into the Zhiyuan Courtyard and set it on fire, his eyes became deeper and deeper, and he became cold, and he directly dragged them down and beat them to death.

When Ying'er heard Rong Wu's punishment, she couldn't help but be a little afraid.

Although Mingyue and Qiu Ju were hateful and framed her for arson and escape, the thought of their fate of being beaten to death with a stick made me feel cold.

But when she thought that if she was really framed successfully, the person who was beaten to death by King Lijun was herself.

For a moment, I felt that the two of them were not worthy of sympathy.
