Chapter 267: Unspeakable Good Deeds
Thinking that in the cafeteria of the main courtyard, there was a large tank of boiling hot water, which was specially used for everyone to drink, Su Xiaoting began to look for it in the big kitchen.
The castle lord's house is not only connected to electric lights, telephones, but also a running water system. There is almost no need to store water, and finding a drinking water tank is undoubtedly the most efficient way.
As Su Xiaoting expected, there is also a similar water tank in the backyard kitchen, which is a bit like a water dispenser in a public place in modern times.
It's just that this tank is larger, it should be resistively heated, the whole is closed, and the water pipe is connected to the inside of the tank from the wall on the side, and only there is a small chimney at the top that emits steam.
Su Xiaoting had already rehearsed it in her heart, she jumped on the side of the water pipe, leaned on the wall of the box, and looked at the small chimney like a train whistle, and the barrel body was a mesh exhaust hole woven of copper wire.
I couldn't help but feel happy, opened the purse given by the villagers of Baihua Village on my waist, took out 2 blue beads, and stuffed them into the exhaust hole.
She listened carefully, but heard a faint noise outside, and did not dare to hesitate at the moment, and quickly stuffed the remaining crystal that had been crumpled into a ball by her into the copper mesh.
"What are you doing?" At the same time as a voice exploded in the dark room, the white light was sheng, and for Su Xiaoting, who was still lying on the wall of the water tank, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and she almost fell off in shock.
But her first reaction was not to look at the person, but to turn her head and quickly wipe the remaining fragments of crystalline into the chimney.
After making sure there was nothing left, she jumped off and ran for the way she came.
It's a pity that the door to the room where I came in has been blocked. Su Xiaoting took two steps back, recognizing this person as if he was a patrol guard from the City Lord's Mansion.
She turned her head to look at the person who had just scolded him, and her heart suddenly cooled in half.
Han Li! The deputy chief of the guard, it is said that he has just passed the year of his establishment, and he already has the strength of the 6th level of the first rank.
Realizing that she had no hope of escaping, Su Xiaoting simply gave up the struggle and ripped off the face towel.
"I ......" said a word, thinking that the other party had seen her last move, Su Xiaoting frowned and fell silent again.
Before coming here, she was ready to be exposed, and she was ready to make a lame statement, but she didn't expect that from the time she jumped into the window to the time she threw into the tears, how could she be caught in less than 1 and a half minutes?!
"Miss Ann...... In the middle of the night, where are you pretending? Or do you want to play hide and seek with our brothers?! At this, he laughed first.
Su Xiaoting looked at Han Li with a shocked expression. Seeing herself, the other party didn't seem surprised at all, and didn't even ask her what she had just thrown into the tank!
After asking, Han Li stood in place for a long time, his eyes flashing with triumph, excitement, and even contempt!
Su Xiaoting suddenly blessed her soul, could she ...... The other party has been staring at her? Or even waiting for the moment......
The sound of footsteps behind her seemed to confirm Su Xiaoting's conjecture, and when Ji Yuning and the chief of the guard appeared, Su Xiaoting found that she couldn't find any excuse except for a wry smile to justify herself.
She could almost guess how the other party's questioning would be perceived by everyone.
Therefore, when Han Li and the person guarding the door respectfully reported to Ji Yuning, Su Xiaoting just stroked the dagger on her waist and hung her head silently.
When Ji Yuning walked towards her, Su Xiaoting actually missed the time when he wore the mask, at least she wouldn't see the shock, struggle and disbelief in his eyes at this moment~
However, his voice returned to its former calmness. "I'd like to hear your own explanation......"
"Yuning~" Su Xiaoting muttered, "I...... I know that nothing I say at this moment will clear my suspicion...... But I'm really not going to hurt everybody. ”
"Tell me, then, what did you throw into the tank?" Ji Yuning's tone softened a little.
"It's nothing ......," Su Xiaoting shook her head.
"Huh, do you think others will believe it?" Ji Yuning laughed angrily.
Su Xiaoting was silent again, yes, whether to say it or not, I'm afraid it makes no difference.
Even if she didn't plan to leave, even if Ji Yuning didn't covet the value of tears, how could he explain it to others...... And after that?
"Brother, what's wrong?" A voice shattered their respective thoughts.
"Sakurayuki? Who alarmed you? Ji Yuning looked at Han Li with dissatisfaction.
Since the day before yesterday, a patient had red spots, and Ying Xue vowed to pray for Mu Ling day and night. If it weren't for her repeated dissuasion, she moved the festival from the square to the rooftop flower room after 10 o'clock.
Even so, I had to pray until the early hours of the morning to rest and get up before 5 o'clock. Not only that, but she also boiled decoctions for patients every day to alleviate their illness.
"Brother, I can't sleep, I want to come and see Li Lao and those patients with erythema. It's none of their business~"
Ji Yingxue shook her brother's sleeve coquettishly, and then said in surprise: "Hey? Sister An, why did you come out? ”
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Ji Yingxue turned her head and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Han Li stepped forward again and repeated the incident of breaking Su Xiaoting's poisoning, An Ting turned around in disbelief and said:
"Sister An, you, why are you doing this?"
Su Xiaoting was still silent.
Han Li said, "If you want me to see, that thing may be the super virus of the United States." Otherwise, why would she sneak down into the drinking tank. ”
“…… Anting, is it really you? Thinking of his young brother, whose life and death were uncertain in the future, the chief of the guard clenched his fists, and the back of his hand was tense.
"Are you worthy of one of his brothers and the lord of the city?"
"I didn't!" Su Xiaoting finally couldn't help shouting.
She gasped twice and looked at Ji Yuning: "I said it, if you suspect me of poisoning, you can find someone to verify it." I can drink the water right now~"
"Hehe, Miss An, you are from the United States, so naturally you are not afraid of that super virus." Han Li said.
"An Ting, in your eyes, is the life here as cheap as a mustard?" Ji Yingxue's eyes widened and asked, "If it's true, wouldn't it kill a few more verified people?" You, why are you so ruthless! ”
"Me! So how do I prove it? ”
"Enough!" Ji Yuning has always been calm and elegant, and this shout was like thunder, which made everyone present stunned.
I saw that he waved his hand a little tiredly, and said to the four guards who followed: "Take An Ting to the No. 1 dungeon!" To find out the facts, and then deal with it~"
"Yes!" Immediately, two guards stepped forward, tied Su Xiaoting's arms behind her back, and presented the dagger on her body to Ji Yuning.
"City Lord!" Su Xiaoting looked at Ji Yuning in shock and withdrew the dagger.
"City Lord!" Han Li bowed down and said, "Can you ask the maid to search her body, maybe you can find new physical evidence." ”
"I'd better go! In case it's really a virus or something, don't worry about safety~" As soon as Ji Yingxue said this, the two maids beside her immediately showed gratitude!
After all, Ji Yingxue is also from the United States, Ji Yuning nodded, but her heart twitched again.
Ji Yingxue rummaged through the tied Su Xiaoting, and there was only an empty purse.
After Su Xiaoting was taken away by the guards, Ji Yuning looked at the water tank for a long time before instructing the chief of the guard: "Put two buckets of water in it and seal them and send them to my private warehouse." ”
After that, he left with Ji Yingxue.
