Chapter 340: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada and the Yellow Sparrow Follows

Xiuyu's voice was extremely hoarse, and every word she said seemed to have exhausted her strength, and the blood at the corner of her mouth was still dripping thinly.

"Your Excellency...... Help me talk to the academics...... Say I'm sorry, but I did all of this...... They were all instructed by others......" Xiuyu said with difficulty, and suddenly vomited a large mouthful of blood. The blood soaked the clothes on her chest like a fountain.

Mei Xiaoren helped Xiuyu and asked urgently: "Who instructed you?" ”

Xiuyu's lips were still opening and closing, but she couldn't make any sound. She grabbed Mei Xiaoren's arm, and she let go and grabbed the empty teacup on the table.

She just held it, her hand suddenly drooped, her eyes were still open, but the person wilted in Mei Xiaoren's arms and swallowed......

"Xiuyu!" Mei Xiaoren was so anxious that he pushed Xiuyu, but when he didn't see any more reactions, he shouted at Liu, "Someone." ”

Before long, the sound of hurried footsteps came, but it was not the tea shop Xiaoer who rushed upstairs, but a group of forbidden soldiers wearing armor and holding swords.

It was no one else who led them up, even the forbidden army was all in charge of Gaoyou.

Gao You didn't say a word, pointed to the woman in Mei Xiaoren's arms and asked, "Master Mei, what's going on?" ”

Mei Xiaoren looked at the visitor indifferently. It is no coincidence that Xiuyu was poisoned and died and the forbidden army suddenly appeared......

It was only then that she suddenly understood that the person who set up the game was not Xiuyu, and Xiuyu was just a chess piece, and this game was called - the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches were behind.

Mei Xiaoren let Xiuyu lie on the ground and slowly stood up. She had a little blood on her body, as if she was stained with an unclear suspicion.

"What are you doing here?" Mei Xiaoren glanced at those forbidden soldiers, his expression was like frost.

"The last general passed by with his troops, and happened to hear someone shouting upstairs, so he came up to take a look, but he didn't expect to ......" Gao You pointed to Xiuyu, who was extremely miserable, and sighed, "Is it not the right time to be humble?" ”

Mei Xiaoren sneered in her heart, raised her eyes and looked out the window, the sunset had disappeared, and it was getting late.

Gao You saw that Mei Xiaoren didn't want to pay attention to him, and he was not angry about it, and the people around Xiangye were inevitably arrogant. He raised his hand and commanded, "Come, go and see why the girl died." ”

The two forbidden soldiers stepped forward at the order, and one looked at Xiuyu's face and said, "General, this person seems to have been poisoned." ”

"Test, where did the poison come from?"

The other forbidden soldier took out a silver needle, inspected the tea on the table, and then probed the remaining water stains on the ground.

"General Hui, this tea is poisonous!"

Mei Xiaoren turned her eyes to see that the poison in the tea was what she expected, and what she didn't expect was that the soldier was referring to the water on the ground.

It means that there is no poison in her cup of tea, and what Xiuyu drinks is poisonous tea......

"I hope the adults will explain why the tea that the adults drink is not poisonous, but this girl's tea is poisonous?"

Mei Xiaoren looked at Gao You expressionlessly, and said coldly: "The teacup is on her side, which eye did you see that the official drank that tea?" ”

"But the poisonous tea on the ground was obviously knocked over by this girl after being poisoned, if that cup was not an adult's, could it be that she drank two cups alone?" Gao You raised his hand, raised his head and sighed, "The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, my lord, don't quibble anymore, let's go with the general." ”

"Take a trip?" Mei Xiaoren only felt amused, "General Gao, do you know who is responsible for the murders that happened in the capital?" Let the official go with you, when will you open the yamen there? ”

Gao You said indifferently: "Isn't it just that the adults are relying on their own Shangjing Mansion Yin, and they can use their power to cover up the facts of the murder and kill people so lightly?" ”

Mei Xiaoren looked at Xiuyu and asked Gao You, "Then do you know who she is?" ”

"I don't know, but the last general is willing to listen to Lord Fu Yin's explanation."

"She is a scholar, and she still has the flesh and blood of a scholar in her belly, but she has committed crimes in the past and has been detained by this official for several months, so she can be regarded as a bond with this official."

"I see, it can be seen that adults don't kill people for no reason." Gao You deliberately frowned again, and said humbly, "My lord sees that the last general is right to say this, she has been imprisoned by adults, and now she has climbed into a university scholar, and she wants to show off in front of adults, and then she is too popular, so he will give her ......."

He paused, and gestured with his hand to choke his neck.

Mei Xiaoren caught a glimpse of it, and raised the corners of his mouth, "General Gao is really thoughtful, if this official doesn't have a personal witness, he can't tell what happened today, right?" ”

"If you have any witnesses, call them out as soon as possible; If not, please go with the last general, and the last will send the adult back to the Beijing Office! ”

Mei Xiaoren looked at the row of private rooms on the other side, and before she could open her mouth, one of the rooms had already opened.

Gao You was shocked when he saw the person who came out, and then led his subordinates to surrender: "The last general has seen a scholar." ”

Wei Shuying's expression was as heavy as the night outside. After he came out, the first thing he saw was Xiuyu lying on the ground.

He had heard her apology with his own ears, but at that time the forbidden army had already arrived downstairs, and he could not come out to let her see her one last time, otherwise he would go from being a witness to a defendant.

Gao You asked again: "Why are the scholars here?" ”

"Could it be that you want to say that the murder has the official part?" Wei Shuying pointed at Xiuyu with a folding fan in her hand, and said to Gao You, "The child in her womb belongs to the official, and everyone in the capital knows about this matter, do you want to slander the official for killing parents and children?" ”

Gao You hurriedly gave up his hand, "The last general doesn't dare, the last general just doesn't know why the scholar is here." ”

Mei Xiaoren explained: "A few days ago, she asked the scholar to say that she wanted to see the official, and the official knew that she had hatred in her heart, and also knew that she was pregnant now, and she was expensive, so in case she got into trouble, he asked the scholar to come here to testify. ”

After she learned about Xiuyu's invitation that day, she always felt strange, worried that Xiuyu would use the child to retaliate against her, etc., so she didn't plan to come alone at all.

Since it is the beauty of the university scholar, it is naturally the most appropriate for the university scholar to look at it from the side.

Xiuyu had been waiting here for a long time, and the scholar had waited even longer, and he had been in the private room before Xiuyu had chartered the venue, and he had seen everything.

Gao You asked: "Then dare to ask the scholar, why did this person die?" ”

"That tea was poured by herself, and it has nothing to do with Meifu Yin." Wei Shuying's voice was very deep.

"But how can the tea be poisonous, and it is difficult for her to poison herself?"

Mei Xiaoren asked rhetorically: "Why is the tea poisonous, what is the matter with General Guan Gao?" If there is a murder case in the city, the official will investigate it to the end, and General Gao is chattering here, what is his intention? ”

Gao You's face was a little unbearable, and he defended: "The last general just saw that a civilian died and wanted to seek justice for him." ”

"Whether it is concerned about the people, General Gao knows it in his heart, and he doesn't need to say much about it." Mei Xiaoren said lightly, and said, "The murder case will be dealt with by the official, and there is no matter of General Gao here." ”

Gao You stood with heavy eyes, and only after a long time did he salute unwillingly, "The last general will retire." ”

Mei Xiaoren didn't say anything for the time being, and when he heard Gao You start to go downstairs, he immediately shouted: "Slow! ”
