Chapter 68: Death Without Proof

It was Liu Xu, the doctor in the house, who came in, without saying a word, put down the medicine box and stepped forward to check the pulse, checked the tongue coating and eyes, and said with certainty: "The old lady is poisoned!" Fortunately, I can solve this poison. So he took the medicine from the medicine box and asked Su Lan to feed the old lady. After only a few breaths, the old lady woke up.

The first thing she said when she woke up was: "Autumn pear paste is poisonous!" Cheng Haitang, why do you want to harm me? Seeing Begonia standing there stunned, the old lady trembled her fingers, pointed at Begonia and asked:

"You are my granddaughter, although it was not Cheng Fu who raised you, but since you came back, I have never treated you poorly, what kind of grudge did you have to poison your own grandmother?"

Haitang knew that no one would let her defend herself at this moment, so she wanted to take the bottle of autumn pear paste on the table to check, but was snatched by Cheng Xiangjin: "Do you still want to destroy the evidence?" Doctor Liu, look at it, this is the autumn pear paste that my grandmother ate. As he spoke, he handed the autumn pear paste to Liu Xu.

Dr. Liu took out the silver needle and examined it, and the silver needle turned black.

Cheng Xiangjin sneered and said: "The autumn pear paste was made by you, and the girls in the West Chamber and the girls in the kitchen have seen it with your own eyes." Now that the human and material evidence is there, what do you want to deny as a wild girl from the countryside? ”

Ji'er hurriedly said: "Although the autumn pear paste is made by the girl herself, but the slave and maid also participated, if you say that the autumn pear paste is poisonous, take me to the official!" ”

"Of course you can't escape!" Pan Xiuying drank on the head: "Cheng Li, take down the two of them!" Lock up all the girls in her house! ”

Over there, a nursing home had already rushed into the begonia house to control Shuang'er, and the nursing home pointed behind Shuang'er and shouted: "Big girl! Frost hurriedly looked back, and was covered by a cloth soaked in anesthetic, and lost consciousness.

When she woke up, she saw Ji'er, Picture Screen, and Liuying, tied up and locked up in a small room with her. She was shocked, the girl was not there, counting the people in the girl's room, there was another one, Ruyi, who was not there!

Begonia was pushed out of the old lady's yard, but it was not in the same direction as Ji'er. She was taken to the small ancestral hall and locked up, but Ji'er was locked in a utility room behind the side hall. Dark Six noted the direction, and quickly left the Cheng Mansion and quickly went to the prince to report the news.

But Pan Xiuying didn't plan to keep them, waiting for her to sing and harmonize with Liu Xu with a handful of snot and tears, and then wash the old lady's brain, and then retreat with Liu Xu.

As soon as he entered the house, Cheng Li flashed in. He smiled proudly: "While those girls are unconscious, a few confessions have been drawn and kept for later use." ”

"Today you moved fast and went well at both ends. Don't delay now, find someone and sell them all to the kiln! "Pan Xiuying wants to solve it quickly.

"You see you're soft-hearted again, aren't you?" Cheng Li closed the door, hugged Pan Xiuying from behind, gnawed her face, and said: "It doesn't matter if those girls are sold, this Cheng Haitang, I have a better place to go!" ”

Pan Xiuying asked suspiciously: "Where to go?" ”

"Didn't I tell you the day before yesterday that there was a plague outbreak in Li Village in the eastern suburbs outside the city? The government quickly surrounded the village and made it a forbidden area. Officers and soldiers kept watch day and night to prevent the sick from coming out. ”

"You mean to throw her to Li Village?"

"If you sell it in the kiln, you can come out later, at most, it will be dirty. When the lord asked about it in the future, he only said that she ran away from the crime, and she accidentally broke into the epidemic area and unfortunately died inside. Then it has nothing to do with you and me, and the poisoning case will naturally be dead without proof, and in the end, whatever you say. ”

Cheng Li smiled brightly, as if he was talking about a great good thing.

Pan Xiuying nodded approvingly. Cheng Li let go of her, and said with a smile: "Without further ado, I'll do it myself, so that you can rest assured!" ”

Cheng Li is an old treacherous and cunning, he found a cloak, wrapped the half-unconscious Cheng Haitang, avoided the people in the house, dragged her into the carriage at the second gate, drove the car in person, turned around, and quietly went out of the city.

After he walked away, several nurses tied the four girls into a string according to the arrangement of Steward Cheng, pushed and shoved them outside the door and got into the carriage, and went to the kiln with the people who came.

Xie Ruijiao, who received the news from the dark six, came with people at a gallop, and just happened to see several girls being pushed into the carriage, they followed behind the carriage, and saw that everyone was sent to the kiln.

Xie Ruijiao didn't want to wait for a breath, how could he want Begonia to enter this pickled ground? Immediately led people to rush in and smashed the entrance of the hall, the old bustard was afraid, and hurriedly let the few girls who had not been confiscated directly let them go.

Xie Ruijiao was dumbfounded, and asked Shuang'er urgently: "What about you girls?" ”

A few people had just untied the cloth covering their mouths, and Shuang'er was about to cry: "The girl didn't stay with us in the first place!" Lord, the girl in our house is still missing! ”

Wishful! Xie Ruijiao regretted that his head was about to explode.

"Lord Wang, just now he said that he was going to arrest us for the official, will the girl go to court?" Ji'er also said anxiously.

"Let's go! Let's go to the Yamen first. Ling Feng, find someone to bring the picture screen and Liuying back to Duanwangfu first. Xie Ruijiao strode out. Ling Xue didn't need to be ordered, she had already got on her horse and rushed to the front.

When Xie Ruijiao arrived at the yamen, Ling Xue shook her head and said, "No one came to declare customs today." I'm afraid that the people are still in the mansion, I have already asked Ling Guang to stare at it, and the dark six are still in the Cheng mansion. ”

Xie Ruijiao had already listened to Ji'er tell what had happened on the way, and knew that Yu Lang had been sent to the post station to pick up things early in the morning, so he guessed that it was the people of Chengfu who had killed Haitang, and the poison in this autumn pear paste must be related to Ruyi!

"Ling Xue, you go to Cheng Mansion to find Ruyi first, don't let her be killed! Dark Qing, you go to the post station and look for Yu Lang along the road, I'm afraid he has been tricked. Ling Feng, let's go to the ancestral hall of Chengfu and find Pan Xiuying to ask for someone! Before the words fell, Xie Ruijiao flew on his horse and ran towards Chengfu.

After Cheng Li returned to the city, he did not go back to his house directly, but parked the carriage under the teahouse not far away, and walked back with his hands behind his back. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the gate, the nurse and Renyazi stepped forward and said, King Duan took the person away directly from the kiln, and the silver has not been received yet!

Cheng Li's heart was not good, so he didn't go to Pan Xiuying, and went directly into the backyard to find Ruyi, and this bane couldn't be left.

Ruyi was sitting in the west wing, and was thinking about his future with the reins, and Cheng Li pushed the door in.

"Steward Cheng, what's the matter?" Ruyi smiled and stood up.

Cheng Li sneered, pulled out a dagger and said, "It's nothing, I'm just here to send you on your way!" ”

"What do you want to do? If you kill me, the young master won't let you go when he comes back! Ruyi was so frightened that his face turned white, and he kept stepping back, crying: "I don't want to die!" I am in the same boat as you, you ask the second girl, the second girl knows best! ”

"Don't want to die? That's not up to you! After Cheng Li finished speaking, he had already walked in front of Ruyi, grabbed her with one hand, and raised the dagger with the other.

"If she dies or not, she can't help you!" Ling Xue threw a flying knife, the dagger in Cheng Li's hand fell in response, Cheng Li hurriedly turned around, Ling Xue slapped the knife, and he fell to the ground without knowing what to do.

Ling Xue turned her head to look at the frightened Ruyi, and said coldly:

"I heard, you really want to enter our palace?"
