Chapter 63: Loading
"It's okay, since you still can't remember, then I'll feed you some medicine, and you can remember everything." Zhu En's face did not change, and he asked people to hold down the little girl's shoulders, and opened his mouth to pour medicine into it.
That little guy is really panicked now, he has already heard of the fierce and arrogant people of Mobei, and the soldiers who came back from the front line when they fought in the past said that the Mobei people are arrogant and bloodthirsty, this Zhuen is the princess of Mobei, isn't that the most arrogant and arrogant person, she wants to poison a little guy It is an easy thing.
"The princess spares her life, spares her life, I have recruited it, I have recruited it!" The little guy shouted in a trembling voice.
"Say it."
"It was the head of the county guard who found me and asked me to cut a little bit when I tasted the food, so as not to eat too much and make the master undignified, he... He also gave the slave ten taels of silver, and didn't let the slave say anything, otherwise he would kill the slave's old mother, and the slave wouldn't dare to disobey! The little guy knelt down and kowtowed, knocking out a dark red blood mark on his forehead.
"Just the epidermis? Xiaoliu, go tell your sister Xin'er, ask her to check the yolk and skin of the Qingtuan separately, and then tell me the results. Ruan Mianmian commanded.
After Ruan Bai received the order, he immediately turned around and walked out of the side hall, and Ruan Mianmian and Zhu En continued to interrogate the two little guys.
"Major General Duan, you take two people to bring the head of the accounting office in his mouth, and you don't have to explain the reason, go and go back quickly." Ruan Mianmian said to Duan Yan.
After Duan Yan went out, Ruan Mianmian asked the little guy again: "What you said is true?" If there is an adulteration, I can't spare you! ”
The little guy nodded frequently and said yes, Ruan Mianmian stopped looking at him, only ordered someone to watch her closely, and followed Zhu En to the front hall.
Walking on the corridor, Ruan Mianmian put down the seriousness and shelf just now, pulled Zhu En's sleeve and asked, "Sister Zhu En, what did you feed him just now, is there really such a poisonous poison?" ”
"Look at what you said, even if there is this kind of tiger and wolf medicine, I can't carry it with me, it's an ordinary spice, I used it to coax him, but I didn't expect to really trick him into spitting out something." Zhu En shook the sachet in his hand, pinched it and stuffed it back into his sleeve.
"Also, sometimes this treacherous method is suitable for these immoral villains, who are tempted by money, but are far from willing to lose their lives." Ruan Mianmian nodded, regained his serious expression and entered the main hall.
The guests in the main hall are still sitting upright, but they are not in the mood to eat, and they can't get off the chopsticks in the face of the delicacies of the mountains and seas, for fear that there will be other poisons in any dish. Ruan Mianmian walked to the apse and looked at Miss Liu, and asked Jiang Xinyue, who was guarding by the bedside, "Sister Yue, is Miss Liu okay?" ”
"It's fine, it's just a while before I wake up." Jiang Xinyue replied.
"That's fine, it's good that this matter is not too big, otherwise I really don't know how to give them an explanation."
While she was talking here, Liu Xin'er also followed from the main hall, and when she saw that there was no one else here, she whispered: "I checked it just now, only the egg yolk filling of the Qingtuan is mixed with medicine, the skin is clean, and the Qingtuan you ate is also there." ”
"It's really tricky, we don't rush to kill everything, but these people do so many things in waves to disgust us." Ruan Mian pulled his sleeves angrily, "Let those irrelevant people outside disperse, if there are Miss Liu's relatives inside, stay behind, and we will pay compensation." ”
After understanding the matter here, Ruan Mianmian basically understood, I'm afraid it was because of Liu Xi'er's matter. It stands to reason that she is dead, but now she is still causing trouble to Yipinxiang, so it is better not to go to the Anyang Hou Mansion to perform that time to eat and broadcast.
Ruan Mianmian personally went to the front hall to apologize, sent away the remaining guests, and asked Duan Yan to send troops to guard the entire county guard mansion tightly, three layers inside and three layers outside, and there were soldiers on each door to check the passing personnel, and not even a fly could fly out.
The bookkeeper in a satin robe was tied into a rice dumpling, and he scolded: "These beasts, how well I usually treat you!" Now that the county lord is here, it doesn't matter if you don't give me fame, why are you tying me here to be humiliated! ”
"Oh? Who insulted the housekeeper and dared to be so bold? Ruan Mianmian raised her eyebrows, as if surprised, Shi Shiran walked into the hall, leaning idly on the wide chaise longue, lining her small body, a little immature and weak.
The housekeeper scolded for a while, and suddenly saw Ruan Mianmian walking in intact, with a hint of imperceptible surprise in his eyes, and then returned to his righteous indignation.
"Yo, Your Royal Highness the county lord, you are here, I don't know what's wrong, I rushed into my account room and tied me up without saying anything, or in front of all the guys, do you want my old face? You have to give me an explanation, I admit to punishment if I am wrong, but if it is right, I can't be insulted in vain this time! The bookkeeper looked at Ruan Mianmian, who was young and looked gentle and polite, and only thought that she was a little girl who lived in an ivory tower and was not familiar with the world and was very easy to deceive.
"I don't know what this gentleman is called, the two of you will tell the truth separately, and I can tell you right from wrong, and I will never wronged a good person." Ruan Mianmian saw Duan Yan lightly from this steward, and gave Duan Yan a smiling look, he naturally understood, and immediately said yes.
"His Royal Highness the county lord, the lower official is the manager of the account office of the Ruliang County Shoufu, with the cheap name Sun Yaozhen, from the official position of Wupin, he is in charge of the tax statistics of the whole Ruliang and the account expenditure of the county Shoufu." The steward rolled his eyes and said respectfully.
"What about you, why did you arrest Steward Sun on your own?" Ruan Mianmian glanced at it, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with Duan Yan's approach.
"Tell the county lord that the last general will be responsible for the safety of the king, but today I found out that the gentleman in charge of the accounts deliberately murdered the county lord and instructed others to poison the meal, so in a hurry, he tied up the person and handed it over to the county lord to deal with." Duan Yan bowed deeply and followed Ruan Mianmian's words.
"Ah, are you trying to poison me? It's scary. Ruan Mianmian's delicate eyes glared, as if she was frightened, and hurriedly shrank back on the couch.
At this time, the Ruliang county guard and several guards all heard the wind and came over, and they all understood what they said just now, and knew that it was someone who was eating and crawling outside the house, but they didn't express their position at this time, and they stood aside after saluting, and their expressions were secretive, and they couldn't see which side they were leaning towards.
Ruan Mianmian touched a round fan from the table at random, this fan is a unique system in Jiangnan, the round fan surface is embroidered with a butterfly wearing a flower picture of silk cloth, the fan bone is a kind of polished round slender brown branches, even the handle of the fan is cool to the touch, natural and elegant.
covered the lower half of his face with a fan, revealing only two round eyes full of tears, and said in a low voice: "General Duan, is this matter conclusive, where is the evidence?" ”
Duan Yan arched his hand: "The human and physical evidence are all there, the physical evidence is the egg yolk Qingtuan at the banquet, and the human evidence is the two little guys who tasted the vegetables, both of which testify that the steward instructed them to deliberately avoid poisonous dishes, so as to achieve the purpose of poisoning the county lord and the nobles, and now the people are still guarding the side hall." ”
"It's... I don't know what the county lord wants to do. The county warden said tentatively.
During Ruan Mianmian's days in Ruliang, all the power of his Ruliang county guard was not used, only Ruan Mianmian was the serious Ruliang master, and his position as the county guard was temporarily managed when the master was away.
"If the situation is true, this crime of murdering the royal lord is not small, Ru Liang does not dare to make a decision easily, I am afraid that he will have to be escorted back to Beijing and handed over to His Majesty and the Queen Mother to deal with." Ruan Mianmian lowered her eyebrows weakly, glanced at the county guard's expression, and thought that the county guard wanted to calm things down, after all, if he didn't suppress the crime of killing the master like this, he would not have good fruit to eat.
Ruan Mianmian refused to let go, but the county guard couldn't insist too much, but put down the topic and didn't talk about it, turned his head and kicked the "zongzi": "Idiot! Don't tell me why you want to do this! ”
The head of the accounting office was kicked and dizzy, but he was also an old fritter, and immediately understood the meaning of the county guard, and said to Ruan Mianmian: "His Royal Highness the county lord, there must be some kind of vegetable taster who slanders me, I am a person in charge of the accounts, how can it have anything to do with the meal in the kitchen, this is unreasonable!" ”
"Huh?" Ruan Mianmian turned his head to look at Duan Yan, thinking about how to trick out the words of this treacherous housekeeper.
"It's not difficult to confirm the truth or falsehood, I have followed the King of England these days, Princess Zhuen also gave me a spice, Mr. Housekeeper only needs to eat it, and then I will ask you questions, tell the truth and you will be fine, and if you tell a lie, you will be in pain, and your intestines will rot and die. Well, the opportunity to prove your innocence is right in front of you, and adults must seize it. Following Ruan Mianmian to learn this method, Duan Yan also used it without flaws, and looked at it with serious eyes, as if there was really such a medicine.
"It's... I'm afraid you want to take the opportunity to trick me into drinking poison and poison me to death, and the merits will not be up to you when the time comes! I don't drink it! When Steward Sun heard that there was such a magical thing, he immediately shuddered, and after speaking, he closed his mouth tightly for fear that Duan Yan would feed him medicine.
"Steward Sun, if not, it's really hard to prove your innocence, Lord County Shou, you say yes?" Ruan Mianmian lightly threw the question to the county guard.
The original intention of the county guard was to calm things down, but he didn't really care about the life or death of the housekeeper surnamed Sun, so he hurriedly complied with Ruan Mianmian's words and said: "Steward Sun, you just listen to the county lord, the county master has a valuable character, and there is no reason to harm you." "Don't look at the housekeeper's expression, don't look over, and pray that Ruan Mianmian can get angry by doing this, and don't have to make trouble in the capital.
Duan Yan stopped talking nonsense, and immediately took out the medicine bag from his arms and was about to open it and send it to the housekeeper's mouth, Steward Sun was immediately frightened: "Don't, the hero spares his life, I will tell you everything!" ”
Ruan Mianmian sat up and stared at Steward Sun, and the rest of the people also stepped forward to prevent him from playing tricks, Duan Yan stopped the movement in his hand, but he didn't put the medicine up, and he didn't dare to move when he was in front of him at all times.
"It's... It's the King of Qi! ”
