With every word, the man's face turned white, and in the end, he didn't even have the movement to struggle, and completely accepted his fate.

At this moment, Li Ran sent someone to report that the poison to be inflicted on this zongzi was rotten bones. This makes people feel even more strange, Li Ran, the antidote to rotten bones, has already been developed, and it is only in vain to poison it, even if they want to make a big situation, they should change to a more complicated and more powerful poison, right?

Xiao Yuexi turned a deaf ear, and said to herself: "But this kind of coercion and temptation can also be used on you cannon fodder, which can not only make you willing to work for them, but also ensure that you can complete the task desperately." Gee...... Tall! ”

Chengfeng is not a brainless person, and when he is silent, his brain spins quickly, and he immediately understands - they continue to follow the line in front of him to find out if it is right! The people in the shadows were obviously panicking.

As for the one who was caught, it was really useless, Chengfeng and Xiao Yuexi had the same thoughts, and they both thought that every word that came out of his mouth was not worth believing, rather than speculating one by one, it was better to keep it at the beginning.

Chengfeng asked, "Madam, is this person also locked up?" ”

Xiao Yuexi waved his hand and motioned for him to look at it. Poor Huang Lian's mansion was reduced to a temporary prison like this, not to mention, and he had to take a lot of risks at all times. For example...... Someone who is imprisoned knows too much, and living for a day will keep the hidden person awake at night......

Xiao Yuexi thought of something and looked at Chengfeng. He watched as the people took the rice dumplings away, and seemed to be planning to continue his patrols. Xiao Yuexi wanted to make a gesture code at him, but when he thought of Ling Suihan, he was not very relieved, so he had to stop him.

Xiao Yuexi lowered her voice and said: "Tell the people below to lock him up alone, but you must release the water properly, and see whose mouth he wants to kill when he is planning to sneak into Lord Huang's mansion!" ”

Chengfeng was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, and responded: "My subordinates understand!" And he strode away.

In the second half of the night, Xiao Yuexi slept deeply, and when she came back to recover from the wind, she had already heard the sound of conversation outside the door.

"Madame is asleep? Then I'll report back tomorrow. ”

Listening to Chengfeng's tone, it seemed that the situation was not serious, and Su Su was about to speak, when he heard Xiao Yuexi in the door lazily raise his voice and ask, "What's wrong?" The voice was clear, and it was clear that a person was already standing in the doorway.

Chengfeng immediately said: "Disturb the rest of the lady, subordinates ......"

"That's it!" Xiao Yuexi interrupted him impatiently: "If you have nonsense, it's better to talk quickly, I'll go to sleep after I finish speaking." ”

"Yes. The subordinates followed the instructions of the lady and deliberately put some water, and the man really did it. ”

Xiao Yuexi asked, "To whom?" ”

Chengfeng: "The scholar who caused trouble before. At the beginning, we wanted to deliberately let them escape, but the man wanted to kill the scholar regardless of his own body, and when he finally failed to succeed, the despair was not like pretending - madam, they didn't succeed once, maybe there would be a backhand, and now both of them have been brought back by their subordinates and guarded strictly, what is the lady going to do? ”

"If that scholar really knows anything, then he really can't stay in Lord Huang's mansion, in case someone burns down the house, we can't explain it to others......" Xiao Yuexi muttered seriously, if Huang Lian listened, I was afraid that my back would be cold, this Mrs. Xiao really didn't want him to be good! If this is the case, the epidemic will not work, they are all people who have just recovered from a serious illness or have not yet recovered, and they are powerless, and it will be even more difficult to implicate them. ”

Chengfeng's heart suddenly suddenly, and he said: "Madame means that according to this situation, people can only be sent to our temporary foothold?" ”

Xiao Yuexi didn't answer, but smiled coldly and said, "He still wants to know the relationship between Zangfeng Pavilion and Yun Qing, right?" ”

There was suddenly no sound in the door, and he waited for her next step in the wind, and he didn't dare to move the place for a long time, just when he couldn't help but ask out loud, Xiao Yuexi suddenly said: "If Ling Suihan is really from their side, then he won't guess that you are sent by Yunqing, you say, will they already know that you are from Zangfeng Pavilion?" ”

After a while, Chengfeng's voice sounded from outside the door: "The possibility is very small, the subordinates have not used the relationship between the Zangfeng Pavilion and the Ming Side when they have acted all the way, they may have doubts about the origin of the subordinates and others, but there is no evidence that the subordinates are subordinate to the Zangfeng Pavilion forces." ”

"That's why they're here?" Xiao Yuexi laughed. "Serial scheme, huh? Yes! I play with him. Ride the wind. ”

"The subordinates are here."

Xiao Yuexi said: "That scholar, I'll personally judge it when I go back." The two of them first found two rooms to be closed, and we waited for the rabbits. If they don't come, forget it, and whoever does, they will die here for me! ”

"Yes."

said that she was going to try it in person, but Xiao Yuexi only made time for two days - in fact, she did it deliberately, and she didn't believe that she could have any unexpected gains, so she simply left everyone there, anyway, she was not in a hurry.

It seems that in the past few days, the treatment of the prisoners has not been very good. At this time, the scholar had long since lost the vigor of the day's trouble, like a frosted eggplant, he shrank into the pyre, and his chapped lips were pasted with a few blood marks due to lack of food and water, and he did not wipe them, adding a little sloppy and embarrassed - but in the difficult period when the patients were short of food and clothing, where could a prisoner be treated at all?

Sensing someone coming in, the scholar glanced up lazily and shrank back again.

Xiao Yuexi smiled when she saw this, and then joked: "My people have intercepted the three gangs in the past two days and want to come to extinguish them. You really should let them see what you look like now, where is the need for them to do it themselves? Aren't you about to break yourself? ”

The scholar lifted his eyelids and snorted angrily, but he didn't know whether he had no strength or didn't want to pay attention, so he didn't say a word.

Xiao Yuexi found a small bench, moved in front of him and sat down, squinted his eyes and stared at him for a while, until he saw him frown unconsciously, and couldn't help but ask impatiently in a dry voice: "What are you doing?" ”

Xiao Yuexi smiled so much that the corners of her eyes were crooked, and she unconsciously looked a little similar to Mu Yunqing's harmless smile. She said lightly: "I'm curious! Come and talk to you. ”

“…… I don't have anything to talk to you court people! ”

"It's okay! I said, "Listen, maybe you want to talk?" ”

The scholar had a "I just want you to get out" expression. Xiao Yuexi ignored it and said to herself: "What did I say you wanted?" They're going to kill you! You don't like both, why don't you talk happily before you die? Maybe when we are happy, we will save your life? ”

"Humph!" The scholar sneered, and the chapped lips oozed blood because of the sudden pulling. He seemed to be in pain, frowned slightly, and then asked sarcastically: "I said, do you dare to believe it?" ”

Xiao Yuexi smiled: "It's not sure you bother." When I have nothing to do, I like to listen to people make up stories, and I will listen to you make one up. ”

As she spoke, she also handed over a kettle with understanding, looked at him with a smile in her eyes and asked, "It's not poisonous, do you dare to drink it?" ”

Originally, there was nothing to eat and drink in the Huanglian Mansion, but when he arrived at the epidemic center, it was completely cut off, so that the scholar's eyes lit up when he saw the kettle, as if the kettle was filled with a pot of water mixed with crane top red, and he could drink it without changing his face.

Xiao Yuexi raised her chin and waited quietly for him to drink enough water, then said, "Can you talk about it?" ”

“…… Forget it, no one believes it anyway. The scholar muttered to himself, paused for a while, and then said, "I don't know who you're looking for, but I know that my immediate boss is from the imperial court." ”

"Oh?" Xiao Yuexi asked with great interest: "Who is your immediate boss?" ”

The scholar sneered: "Heh! I don't believe you can't guess! Unless, as rumored, you do have a personal affair with him! At this, the scholar's gaze became playful.

Xiao Yuexi raised his hand with a smile, and a stone in his hand smashed steadily and fiercely on his stomach, the force was so strong that the scholar suddenly felt as if he had been hit by a heavy punch in his abdomen, and he snorted in pain.

Xiao Yuexi still smiled kindly, but her tone was cold and unkind: "If you don't talk about people, I'll beat you!" ”

What a simple, rough and direct threat, the scholar opened his mouth, but he didn't make a sound in pain, and subconsciously felt that he should be careful when he spoke.

After a while, the scholar breathed a sigh of relief and began to speak: "My immediate boss is the current envoy of the Department of Supervision and State, Ling Suihan, and he came up with the idea of letting me make trouble and others take the opportunity to suffocate the patient that day. ”

"What about the evidence?" Xiao Yuexi asked coldly.

The scholar just laughed: "No, believe it or not." Isn't it listening to a story? ”

Xiao Yuexi also smiled, raised her hand and made a "please" gesture and said, "Okay, you continue!" ”

The scholar continued: "I was not in his charge at first, I don't know what kind of agreement he reached with our mysterious master, who took over some of the men. Most of these people are faithful, and they may be waiting for that day all their lives, and they are excellent dead soldiers. There are very few people like me, who have helped do a lot of things openly and secretly, and they know more and more, and they generally won't be assigned to the kind of task that day, who knows what kind of wind you Ling Zheng was smoking at that time. ”

"So when you took this task, you expected that you would have today, right?" Xiao Yuexi asked.

The scholar poured another sip of water and said, "I don't have a choice, I'm different from that group of dead soldiers, and my family is my weakness...... My son has just turned one year old. ”

"Tsk." Xiao Yuexi suddenly raised her eyebrows and asked meaningfully: "Have they promised to take care of your family?" Aren't you afraid that your son will not be as good as you when he grows up? ”
