Chapter 017: Buns (17)

Peak loop turn? See light at the end of the tunnel! Or this girl was stimulated by something, and her head was confused. Inside and outside the hall, they were all shocked by this sudden accident.

The serial murders were all done by Yingniang, not only killing people, but also intending to frame the news of the blame, I believe it will soon spread throughout the entire Yang family. It's just that what people don't understand is why this good lady wants to kill these irrelevant people.

The doubts of the onlookers are also the doubts of Xing Ruyi and Catch Liu Sheng.

"Human life is at stake, and it's not just a human life, Yingniang, you have to think clearly."

"Don't worry, Lord Liu, Yingniang has already thought very clearly and clearly when she admitted it." Yingniang said, walked to the fake Xing Ruyi, blessed the body and said: "It is really not Yingniang's wish to involve Mrs. in it, please forgive Mrs." ”

The fake punishment Ruyi didn't have any reaction, and when Yingniang got up, she deliberately took a step forward and whispered: "Yingniang has a personal grudge, and the person she killed is also the person who deserves this revenge, and please ask the master to watch." When Yingniang's affairs are done, she will give Mrs. an explanation. ”

After speaking, he took two steps back, turned around, and looked at the place where the fox and Xing Ruyi were standing outside the public hall.

The fox whispered, "It's over, her saw through my spell." ”

"Who saw through it?"

Xing Ruyi was thinking about something else, and when he heard the fox's words, he asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing, I think I've found the guy the old fox was looking for."

"Who is it?"

"Yingniang!"

"Yingniang?" Xing Ruyi looked at the public hall in confusion: "But she doesn't have the breath of a monster on her." ”

"She's not a monster, her situation is a little special. I'll talk to you about these things later. Let's listen to what Yingniang will say in court first. Anyway, you have to know why she involved you. ”

In the public court, after the fake sentence Ruyi was taken down by the officials, Yingniang knelt down by herself without the county lord opening her mouth.

"The thing was done by Yingniang, Yingniang is willing to admit her guilt, but there are still some inside information, please allow Yingniang to talk carefully."

"Master Ben also wants to hear why you, a delicate little woman, kill those irrelevant people."

"Back to the master, those people are not what Yingniang wants to kill herself, but someone coerced Yingniang and asked Yingniang to take the lives of those people for her."

"Someone coerced you?"

"Back to the master, Yingniang was indeed coerced. Yingniang is just a lonely and weak woman, because of the help of others, she came to this Yang family set, opened a bun shop, and barely made a living. It's just that Yingniang didn't expect that the person who helped Yingniang would actually ask Yingniang to kill. Forced to be helpless, and in order to repay the kindness, Yingniang had no choice but to stain her hands with blood and seek the lives of those people. ”

"Forced to be helpless, in order to repay the favor." Liu Sheng walked up to Yingniang: "What are you forced to be helpless, and what kind of kindness do you repay?" ”

"Yingniang's benefactor, before Yingniang was dying, saved Yingniang's life. This life-saving grace, how can Yingniang not repay it. As for being helpless, it was because the benefactor was worried that Yingniang would reveal the secret, so he fed Yingniang a poison. If Yingniang repents halfway, or no longer follows the benefactor's instructions, Yingniang will die of poison because there is no antidote. ”

"Wherefore, then, thou hast spoken these words in the courts? At this time, Yingniang, isn't she afraid of poison and death? ”

"If you return to Lord Liu's words, Yingniang is afraid. Yingniang is just an ordinary person, how can she not be afraid of the pain when she is poisoned, but Yingniang is tired, tired of killing people, and Yingniang is not willing to involve innocent people anymore. ”

"The innocent you are talking about is ......"

"It's the lady from Fangcai." Yingniang raised her head slightly: "That Mrs. Ruyi once went to Yingniang's bun shop to buy steamed buns, and because she didn't have any silver on her, she took off the hairpin on her head and handed it to Yingniang as collateral. Although Yingniang is a rural village girl, she also recognizes that the hairpin is by no means a vulgar thing, and the lady's dress is not something that ordinary people can afford to wear.

is not an ordinary family, Yingniang doesn't have to worry that the lady will owe Yingniang money for the bun, so she put away the hairpin. After closing, the benefactor came over and said that the government had noticed Yingniang, and asked Yingniang to be careful, and hurry up to find a way to get out. Yingniang was worried, and Lord Liu came and asked Yingniang if anyone had bought steamed buns in Yingniang's bun shop recently. Yingniang was flustered for a while, and she happened to see the hairpin, so she handed it to Lord Liu, and said the name of Mrs. Ruyi. ”

Liu Sheng nodded: "Yes, this is indeed the situation at that time. ”

Yingniang's head bowed.

After handing over the hairpin to Lord Liu, Yingniang was also very worried in her heart. First, I am afraid that Lord Liu will find trouble with Mrs. Ruyi, and secondly, I am afraid that Mrs. Ruyi will come to ask Yingniang for hairpins. In a hurry, Yingniang thought about doing the next case to divert the attention of the government. That Mrs. Ruyi was just arrived at the Yang family, and if the government investigates in detail, it will definitely be able to find out and return that lady to innocence. ”

"Yingniang, as you just said, the reason why you committed the crime again is to divert the attention of the government and return the lady's innocence. But why, after doing the case, pretended to be the lady and went to the inn? ”

"Diverting the attention of the government and returning the lady to innocence is indeed Yingniang's original intention, but what Yingniang didn't expect was that Yingniang's criminal process was actually seen by her husband. Yingniang just wanted to escape at first, because it was still dark, and the husband might not recognize Yingniang. But in the process of escaping, Yingniang changed her mind. ”

"Yingniang decided to set up a blame?"

"Yes! People don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, and Yingniang still became a bad person after all. ”

"In this way, that lady Ruyi is indeed innocent."

"If you go back to your lordship, Mrs. Ruyi really has nothing to do with these things."

"The matter of planting the blame, Yingniang can be regarded as a clear explanation. So next, let's ask Yingniang to tell me about the murder, right? How did those who died? Why did the tassel girl cut off a piece of skin from their chests? ”

Yingniang pursed her lips: "If you go back to the adult, those people were poisoned to death." ”

"Poisoned?"

Liu Sheng glanced at Lin Hu who was standing next to him. Lin Hu shook his head, meaning that he had not found any obvious traces of poisoning from those deceased.

Ying Niang obviously thought of this, she raised her head and said, "That poison is not an ordinary thing, but Ying Niang learned it from a charlatan in the early years. It was not Yingniang herself who was poisoned, but a small insect that Yingniang carried with her. The insect recognizes a scent, and that smell will attach itself to the bun being chosen. When the bugs smell the smell, they act. With just one sip, the venom invades the deceased's heart, instantly paralyzing them and then dying. The wound of the insect bite is very small, and the amount of venom is not large, so it cannot be detected by ordinary work. ”

Hearing this, Xing Ruyi stabbed the fox with his hand and asked, "Is there really such a strange little insect in this world?" If so, can you find some for me, I want to keep them for fun. ”

The fox's face changed, but he still said good-naturedly: "Madam, it's okay to play with poisonous weeds on weekdays, and try not to provoke poisonous insects and the like." ”

"In this way, there is really such a kind of insect in this world that can kill people invisibly."

"Nope! For the husband to assure, absolutely nothing! ”

"Really?"

"Not really!" The fox raised his hand lightly: "Good, Yingniang is about to get to the point." ”

In the court, Liu Sheng was asking the most critical question: "Why did Yingniang cut off the piece of skin on the deceased's chest?" ”

"Do you really want to know?"

"Above the court, Yingniang had better understand how to reply."

"Yes, Yingniang understands. Don't hide it from adults, Yingniang kills people, mainly for the skin on her chest. Yingniang doesn't know if the adults have investigated the birth dates of those deceased, and the people selected by Yingniang are all people born in the lunar year, lunar month or lunar time. These people, in the eyes of adults, are just ordinary people, but in the eyes of Yingniang, or in the eyes of Yingniang's benefactor, these people are all good medicine primers. ”

"Medicine? You mean, you kill people for the sake of medicine? ”

"Yes! At least that's what Yingniang's benefactor said to Yingniang. Therefore, Yingniang is very careful when taking each piece of skin. ”

"It's the first time I've heard of human skin in medicine."

"The world is so big, there are no surprises, and there are more than one strange thing that Lord Liu has never heard of." Yingniang straightened her back: "Yingniang heard a saying when she was a child, saying that hot human blood can be cured if you eat it wrapped in steamed buns." Not only human blood, but also the placenta after a woman gives birth can be used in medicine. ”

Yanagi frowned and turned his face to the side. Above the public court, the county lord, who was originally groggy, also waved his hand after hearing Yingniang's words, and made a disgusting expression.

"Yanagi, hurry up and ask her, who is the mastermind behind her?"

"Who is your mastermind behind this? Or, I should ask, who is your benefactor? ”

"Green Branch!"

"What?"

"If you return to Lord Liu, Yingniang's benefactor is called Green Branch, and she is the maid who serves Miss Yang Fu closely."

"Green Branch, the maid of the Yang Mansion?"

Liu Sheng looked at Lin Hu, Lin Hu frowned and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "When I went back to the Yang Mansion to investigate, I vaguely heard this name, and it seems that it is next to Miss Yang." ”

"The maid of the Yang Mansion is your savior?"

"Back to my lord's words, yes."

"Those people, they were all let you kill by this maid?"

"The benefactor didn't say it explicitly, but every time he came, he would hand the Ying Niang a piece of paper, and the paper would say that the object that needed the Ying Niang to take the skin."

"How did you transfer those skins to this green branch?"

"If you go back to the adult, the benefactor will come to Yingniang's bun shop every few days to get some bun skins. Yingniang mixed the human skin into those bun skins and handed it to the benefactor. As for how this human skin is used in medicine and how to use it, Yingniang doesn't know anything. ”

"Come on, go to Yang's Mansion and summon that maid named Green Branch!"

Liu Sheng gave the county lord a look, and the county lord straightened up and commanded.

As soon as a few errand officers who received the order ran out of the court, they heard someone shouting outside: "Oh no, no, there is another murder in the Yang Mansion!" ”
