Mei Xiaoren frowned, not because the noisy sounds outside were annoying, but because there was a faint pain in her body, reminding her that something was in trouble.

She has been coping with it for several years, and there are ways to hide it so that people don't see anything, but she is emotionally susceptible and not very comfortable.

She hadn't gotten up for half an hour when there was a hurried knock on the door, and someone outside shouted: "Mei Gongzi, go and take a look, Wen Gongzi's horse didn't know what it had eaten by mistake, and it was out of gas." ”

Wen Bin's horse is angry or not, what does it matter to her

Mei Xiaoren didn't want to pay attention to it, but when she heard the word "accidental ingestion", she gradually reflected in her heart why they came to her.

Wen Bin's horse, she fed it yesterday

Mei Xiaoren followed them over, stood in front of the stable, looked at the Xia Guobao horse lying motionless on the dry grass, and swept around the horse slaves who surrounded her but did not dare to approach, and could see that these people were all related to the death of the horse with her, and did not dare to get too close to her, for fear of getting involved.

She took a breath of cool air, but she was also helpless, she really didn't know what kind of fate she had with these Xia Guo treasure horses, why she had to pay for it in three days.

"Young Master Mei, yesterday you fed the horse according to the old slave's instructions," Uncle Wu asked.

"Of course." Mei Xiaoren deserves it, his face does not change, and his heart does not beat.

Arimanu muttered quietly: "How could that horse die"

"How do I know?"

"How should we explain to Gongzi Wen now" Uncle Wu shook his head and sighed, with a sad look as if the sky had fallen.

"What's wrong with my Flying Eagle"

A cold sound came from behind everyone, and the slaves were stunned, and then buried their heads in panic, for fear that Wen Gongzi would be angry.

Wen Bin hurried over, pushed away the horse slave who was blocking the way and stepped under the shed, saw the horse that had no breath, rushed to the horse in three or two steps, squatted down and pushed the horse hard, "Flying Eagle"

The horse was motionless and cold.

Wen Bin suddenly raised his eyes and swept the slaves angrily, "Who did it?"

Mei Xiaoren's face was calm, and she caught a glimpse of a timid manu slowly reaching out and pointing at her.

"Mei Xiaoren you"

Mei Xiaoren was inexplicable, "What's wrong with me"

Wen Bin came with Wu Xian, he slowly walked to Mei Xiaoren's side, looked at her and said, "Senior Brother Mei, this is your fault, even if you have a grudge against Brother Wen for taking the lead on you, you shouldn't retaliate against his horse." ”

Mei Xiaoren and Wu Xian looked at each other and said calmly: "Wu Gongzi, you said that I want to take revenge on his horse, then do you know how many days I have been in the stable" She sneered, "I want it to die, can it live until yesterday or do I want to take revenge on a beast and have an auspicious day"

The man who identified her said: "But yesterday it was the horse you fed, and after feeding it, the horse became like this, not who killed the horse."

Mei Xiaoren looked back at the man who spoke, "You saw it."

"I can see it clearly"

She glanced around at the manu, "You all saw it"

The other manu buried his head and whispered, "The little ones were cleaning outside yesterday and never came to the stable."

These people are not lying, because when she was feeding the horses yesterday, she was the only one here, so she couldn't find someone to help her, and even the horses had to eat for herself, sorghum and rice.

The anger in Wen Bin's eyes grew more and more intense

Lie, pointing at Mei Xiaoren and gnashing his teeth: "If you dare to harm this son's flying eagle, this son will not let you go"

Mei Xiaoren didn't want to argue, stood up straight, and said indifferently: "The matter of the academy should be decided by the bishop, even if I am guilty, it must be dealt with by the bishop." ”

Wu Xian instructed: "Come on, go and invite Master Zhou to come"

The little guy took the order and left. Mei Xiaoren stood quietly and didn't say a word.

Wu Xian raised his lips and said: "Senior Brother Mei, why do you want to invite the bishop over, the bishop is iron-faced and selfless, if he knows that you have done such a thing, he will definitely not keep you anymore." ”

"Then I will only listen to the Bishop, and if the Bishop tells me to go, I will go." Mei Xiaoren replied blandly.

"It's not that cheap" Wen Bin's eyes were like torches, "Mei Xiaoren, you eat the bear-hearted leopard and dare to attack this son's horse, this son will definitely let you pay for the flying eagle's life."

Mei Xiaoren nodded, and deserved to be simply: "Okay, whoever kills the horse will let whoever pays for it, this is what you said Gongzi Wen." ”

After a while, Bishop Zhou arrived at the stable with a few gentlemen from the academy.

Wen Bin came out of the stable and stepped forward, and said a good message to Bishop Zhou, pointing the finger at Mei Xiaoren.

Namanu also helped Wen Bin testify and confirmed that it was Mei Xiaoren who fed the horse yesterday.

Bishop Zhou listened to it, but did not believe their words, and invited a veterinarian to diagnose the cause of the horse's death, and the results confirmed Wen Bin and Manu's statement that Feiying was indeed poisoned by man.

Manu grabbed a handful of the eagle's uneaten grain from the manger for the veterinarian to test, and the grain did not disappoint them.

All the evidence points to Mei Xiaoren alone.

Mei Xiaoren was not surprised at all. Because when Wen Bin opened her mouth and asked the words "who did it", she could already conclude that this was a trap for her.

If Wen Bin didn't know, then why didn't he ask how the horse died first, and then ask who killed the horse, which is commonsense

What's more coincidental is that after he asked, a man Nu gave him an answer, pointing out that it was the horse that she Mei Xiaoren fed.

The other slaves did not dare to speak up, because those who were slaves had scruples about being slaves, and the more humble they were, the more afraid they were, and they would rather stay out of the matter than easily point out the people above them.

Only Namanu pointed at her without hesitation, and she was not afraid of pointing at the wrong person and getting into trouble

It is also possible that Manu had no worries at all, because he had been bribed, and the errand to be done was to testify against her.

Mei Xiaoren looked at Manu sideways, not surprised, she has solved countless cases, and knows that there is such a "just seen" witness in ordinary cases of planting and blaming the blame, and she is used to it.

After reading these witnesses and physical evidence, Bishop Zhou began to ask Mei Xiaoren: "How do you explain?"

Wen Bin squinted at Mei Xiaoren and said: "Master Zhou, Mei Xiaoren didn't argue a word just now, it can be seen that he is a thief with a weak heart, and the flying eagle was killed by him."

Mei Xiaoren glanced at Wen Bin and said lightly: "Why didn't I argue, I said, if I want to kill this horse, why wait until yesterday." ”

"But these evidences" Bishop Zhou couldn't bear to say anything to Mei Xiaoren before he figured out the ins and outs, and continued, "Then tell me, what's going on?"

Mei Xiaoren's eyes sank for a moment. She didn't speak because she was not waiting to die, but because she was waiting for someone who could preside over the overall situation, otherwise if she easily argued, it would be easy for people to figure out her thoughts, and when Bishop Zhou came, it would be difficult for her to explain.

Now is the time to speak.
