If Ji Yuning knew the truth, even if he didn't have selfish intentions, he would probably not tell everyone, and in the eyes of outsiders, he might have become a friend and foe, blindly protective.

It can be seen from the attitude of the jailer towards her that such a sensitive identity of herself, coupled with the turmoil of the poisoning incident in the middle of the night, may have been regarded as the number one suspect by the people in the house.

Although Ji Yuning is the lord of Mu Ling City and has the privilege of life and death, he is also responsible for the rise and fall of Mu Ling and the well-being of the people.

In the face of such a catastrophe that is vital to the life and death of the people in the city, will a mishandling of it shake people's hearts? Will it cause an even greater mutiny after the epidemic breaks out?

Or, if the secret of the teardrop leaked out and the people of the United States were to be brought in, she really didn't dare to think about whether a greater conflict would erupt.

“…… Mu Ling has half a weight in your heart? ”

Su Xiaoting suddenly raised her head, Ji Yuning was laughing, but the smile was more like self-deprecation after extreme disappointment.

"You don't even bother to give an explanation, even as a guarantee as the lord of the city, it makes you feel insignificant.

Are you like those who have turned their backs on the country? Regard me as a blood-drinking, uncivilized barbarian? The people are all untouchables with poor blood and underground genes?! ”

Su Xiaoting's heart trembled, the invisible pain spread to her face, she bit her lower lip tightly but couldn't spit out a word.

Seeing such a hurt expression, Ji Yuning also felt a pain in his heart, but he couldn't help but continue: "In this Muling City, there is still one person who can be taken to your heart?" ……”

Su Xiaoting's heart skipped a few pounds, but her lips only opened.

"Or do you want to avenge the humiliation of the captives for a long time, or blame me for buying you, but you refuse to let you go, so you will wait for the opportunity......"

"Say no more! Don't say it anymore......" Su Xiaoting stopped in a loud voice, her voice was rarely sharp, and she couldn't help but take a few deep breaths to calm the urge to refute.

She thought she was ready to be misunderstood, but she didn't expect Ji Yuning's words to hit her heart like a thorny rattan.

It is impossible to say that she has never complained about being sold here as a good girl, and being picked up and sold like a slave.

But she understood that the culprit was the human trafficker Liyue, since she was bought by Ji Yuning, the other party not only did not regard her as a good daughter for the next generation, but treated her with courtesy, and later gave her the greatest freedom and trust.

If he hadn't given him a place to stay, Su Xiaoting wouldn't have dared to imagine where she would be at this moment?

But the person who was introduced by her as a confidant and put everything in front of her, did he actually look at her like this?

That's good! She is going to leave after all, and I am afraid that this matter will not be good, and staying here will only make it difficult for everyone who wants to defend her.

Su Xiaoting turned her back, clenched the fist in her sleeve, and said in a cold tone: "Yes, I hate Lizhu for buying and selling me here at will, causing me to leave my hometown and lose my freedom." But I didn't do anything wrong at all, so why do I have to explain? ”

"Lord of the city, I'm going to rest, please go back!"

Ji Yuning was stunned in place, it turned out that this was her true thoughts, she really blamed herself, those gentle, humble, well-behaved and petty intentions were just bending to meet her intentions to ensure that she was not bullied.

Ying Xue is right, for a person who has left his hometown, how can he be willing to abandon his homeland for the sake of the backward Mu Ling? Perhaps, she had already waited for the opportunity to pass on the news, so that she would attract Shangguan Haozhe.

And that night, maybe she just wanted to put in some kind of potion so that the people in the house couldn't hunt them down, so that they could leave at will!

Su Xiaoting heard irregular footsteps behind her, and then the door let out a "bang!" There was a muffled sound, and the room was dead silent.

Su Xiaoting turned around and looked at the cell door, put on the quilt on the bed, reached out to catch the falling tears, and watched them slowly condense in her palm.

'Sorry! Unexpectedly, it still left such an impression on you in the end......

If I have the chance, I will get Sakura Xue serum, and with her with you in the future, you will probably forget about me soon! ’

……

The next morning, Su Xiaoting was meditating in her room when she was taken to the square in front of the main building by the jailers.

Just like that day, there are still statues of goddesses and braziers that have never been extinguished in the square, as well as the guards and attendants of the palace.

It's just that the number of people this time is twenty percent less than last time, but Su Xiaoting saw two of the independent group of people standing.

Su Xiaoting's hands were not tied, she could see that in the eyes of everyone looking at her, hatred and contempt were the majority, and only a few people had a look of doubt and pity, such as the second.

Ji Yuning took everyone's looks in his eyes and said loudly: "I called everyone here today to announce something.

Presumably many people have heard that a few days ago, An Ting appeared in the backyard cafeteria and threw foreign objects into the drinking tank.

Han Li! As an eyewitness, have you seen Anting put an unknown drug into the tank? ”

Han Li's peach blossom eyes turned around, walked out of the queue, bowed to Ji Yuning, and replied loudly: "Back to the city lord, that night, I did see An Ting stuffing that thing into the chimney of the water tank. ”

"Yes! Did the crime be found at the scene? ”

Han Li unconsciously glanced at Ji Yingxue, "That's not true, An Ting's purse is also empty." ”

"Well, I and the head of the guard also saw what happened later, and Ying Xue didn't check out other items on An Ting's body." Ji Yuning waved his hand and motioned for Han Li to retreat.

"In other words, if it hadn't been broken, An Ting's purpose that night had been achieved." Ji Yuning nodded to Xizi, "I have found someone to verify the water in the water tank." ”

Xizi walked to Ji Yuning's side and said to everyone: "Yes, there are two death row inmates who voluntarily tried to drink a bowl of water in the tank every day, and now three days have passed, and the doctor has not found anything unusual. ”

Wow~ Everyone below immediately turned their heads and ears!

"Silence!" Uncle Fist pressed his hands, and everyone immediately stopped their voices.

"I know your worries, the epidemic is ruthless, but you can't add to the crime just because An Ting is a good girl." Ji Yuning continued.

Han Li stepped out and said, "City Lord! Although the water was not poisonous this time, her behavior was very suspicious, perhaps ...... It was she who communicated with the people over there in private, which may have attracted the epidemic. ”

Ji Yuning's eyes flashed, as if he had seen through Han Li's thoughts at a glance, which sent chills down his spine.

He was still too eager, if it weren't for the last time the city lord ordered not to follow, he would have already brought up the secret of An Ting's meeting with the people of the Abandoned Country!

Ji Yuning Dai raised her eyebrows slightly, this Han Li is quite hostile to An Ting, and what he said just now is also very suspicious!

However, there are probably not a few people who think like this, and even more so for those who have not heard his explanation! Ji Yuning took a deep breath and said

"I, Mu Ling, govern the city according to the law, and I will never punish people for their crimes based on speculation and inference. If there is no real evidence, please be cautious with Captain Han! ”

"But," Ji Yuning's tone changed, and he finally glanced at Su Xiaoting, and looked away again,

Although the water in this tank has nothing to do with the epidemic, An Ting did not give a reasonable explanation for her behavior, and she could not clear all suspicions.

Moreover, his mind is unpredictable, and he is not my Mu Ling person after all. In order that it may not be used by the forsaken nation in the future, I declare ......

From now on, An Ting will be expelled from Fuyao, and she will not be allowed to enter Mu Ling for half a step in the future! ”
