Chapter 135: Bargaining
Not long after he ran in, a group of messengers rushed out of it and surrounded the two of them!
"Arrest them!"
Before the two of them could react, the officer who had gone in and out before commanded.
Several officers rushed up and tied them up and took them to an antechamber.
In front of this yamen is the public court, behind which is the steward's private house, and now they are in the vestibule of the steward's private house.
The steward sat on the main seat, looked at Cao Zhijin and Zhao Xiaomei who were tied into zongzi and asked, "You just said that you know my secret?"
"Why did the steward arrest us, what is the secret, don't you know it in your heart?" Not to be outdone, Cao Zhijin looked at her and replied.
"Okay......" He suddenly slapped the table with a cold eyebrow, "I have already given you the steps down, you still dare to threaten me, since you toast and don't eat and drink, then I have a lot of empty cells underground, please go in and sit down, wait for me to clean up the evidence before releasing you, when the time comes, you have no evidence!" ”
"You can't clean it up!" Cao Zhijin said affirmatively.
She raised her right hand and said, "I just fell at the door, and that thing just got on my wound and has melted into my blood!"
"Get her!" The steward immediately ordered.
Between the lightning and flint, Cao Zhijin took out the pill that had been hidden in his sleeve for a long time and stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it!
Let them hold her.
"What did you eat?" The steward asked nervously.
"Nature is poison!" Cao Zhijin smiled slightly, looked at the steward and said, "The steward doesn't know that I have a servant, he is very nervous about my whereabouts, he knows about my going out, if he doesn't see me come back within two hours, it is not impossible to turn Xianji City upside down!" ”
"When the time comes, he will find my body and find that I have been poisoned to death, and the forbidden drugs in my body will also be discovered! I found a forbidden medicine in the yamen but was poisoned, and the steward felt that when it reached the ears of the city lord, would he laugh it off? ”
That's right, what Cao Zhijin's palm wound touched just now was the forbidden medicine of Wenren Country!
"You must be thinking about transferring me out after my death, but even if you are in charge, it is difficult to estimate the ability of my servant to gather news, and in this virtuous city, there are only things he does not want to know, and there are no things he does not know!"
"It's only a matter of time before I find evidence that you killed me and hand it over to the city lord."
"By the way, my servant has a wild temperament and a strange temper, and if he convinces the lord of the city to hand you over to him, then you really want to live and die?"
The steward saw that she was so eloquent that he didn't dare to act rashly, besides, although his use of forbidden drugs was a big crime, he didn't use it to do bad things, and he couldn't break the net with her!
He looked at Cao Zhijin and smiled: "If you have something to say, the girl came to my door to make trouble, shouldn't she just want to threaten me?"
Cao Zhijin also looked at Zhao Xiaomei and said: "This is the second lady of the Zhao family, we want to meet the second master of the Zhao family!"
"It's easy to do!" He looked at Cao Zhijin hesitantly and said, "It's just the forbidden drug in the girl's body and the poison that the girl voluntarily took?" ”
"That's easy, too!" Cao Zhijin said confidently, "With just a pair of medicines, the poison I just ate will be resolved, and the forbidden drugs in my body will also be dissolved!" ”
Forbidden drugs are forbidden drugs after all, how could she possibly let them stay in the body for so long?
"The girl is wrong, right? You just said that the forbidden drug can be resolved? The steward looked at Cao Zhijin with an incredulous face.
Originally, he just wanted her to write a note to prove that the poison she ate had nothing to do with him, and as for the forbidden drug, he hoped that she would promise to keep it secret!
But when she heard her say that she could dissolve the forbidden drugs in her body with a pair of medicines, she immediately had doubts about what she said before, you must know that no one has said that she can dissolve the banned drugs in her body!
"I'm not wrong!" Cao Zhijin asked someone to bring a pen and paper, wrote a prescription on the paper, and handed it to the steward, "This is the prescription for the solution, but I haven't written the dosage yet, so this prescription is only a half-finished product!" ”
The steward looked carefully at the medicine on the prescription, although he didn't understand medical skills, but he became a doctor after a long illness, he could understand one or two flavors of the medicine on the prescription, he didn't see Cao Zhijin like a fake, so he believed it for the time being.
"When the steward takes us to see Second Master Zhao, I will add the prescription completely." Cao Zhijin withdrew the prescription.
In the end, she was still threatened, and although the steward no longer targeted Cao Zhijin, he was still hostile to her.
The steward greeted the officer who was guarding the door just now and said, "Take them to see Zhao Zizhi, remember, Zhao Zizhi is a criminal, and he can only see him for half an hour!"
"Wait a minute!" Cao Zhijin interrupted him.
"Miss Cao, half an hour is already a long time!" The steward warned her.
Who knew that Cao Zhijin didn't tell him about this at all, but looked at his knee and said, "The steward uses forbidden drugs to treat his knees, right?" It's a pity that the symptoms are not cured, every time the weather is wet and cold, the old wounds of the steward will recur! ”
She picked up a pen and wrote down a prescription on the paper, handed it to the steward: "This is a prescription for treating the steward's leg injury, just apply it externally, the steward can let us see the second master Zhao for half an hour today, if it is effective tomorrow, can the steward be accommodating for a few more days?"
"Then we'll talk about it tomorrow!" The steward took the prescription, he didn't believe Cao Zhijin, he had to ask the doctor to check this prescription before using it!
He waved his hand at the messenger, and the messenger led the way in front, leading Cao Zhijin and Zhao Xiaomei to the dungeon.
On the way to the dungeon, Cao Zhijin looked relaxed, but Zhao Xiaomei looked nervous, tugged at her sleeve and whispered: "Miss Cao, what should you do with the poison you eat?" Let's go to detoxification first! ”
"Don't worry!" Miss Cao whispered in Zhao Xiaomei's ear, "I lied to them just now, what I ate is not poison, it's sugar!" ”
Zhao Xiaomei stared at Cao Zhijin with wide eyes, his eyes were full of incredulity!
As he spoke, he had reached the entrance to the dungeon.
As soon as the dungeon door opened, a rotting and damp smell rushed up from under the steps, squeezing out of the door in a disgusting way!
Zhao Xiaomei suddenly wrinkled his eyebrows.
Cao Zhijin glanced at her, raised his hand to hold her hand in his hand, and led her down the steps to the cell where the messenger directed.
Xu is Zhao Zizhi was the highest-ranking prisoner in Xianji City, he was in a cell by himself, and the cells around him were empty.
The silence around was terrifying, and the slightest movement was infinitely magnified here.
Zhao Zizhi heard the footsteps, turned around, and saw Zhao Xiaomei, nesting in the corner like a frightened bird, panicking.
"Father!" Zhao Xiaomei threw herself on the fence of the cell and cried uncontrollably.
"No, I'm not your father, I'm not worthy!" Zhao Zizhi slammed his head against the wall, making a loud "bang".
Zhao Xiaomei cried even more when she saw this!
Cao Zhijin couldn't bear it, and persuaded Zhao Zizhi: "Second Master Zhao, Xiaomei risked her life to see you, and she hopes that you can talk to her." She's still a child, and you're only going to scare her! ”
