Chapter Ninety-Three: A Woman's Scheming
"IβI'm talking about the Thousand Rhino Girl of the Purple Pavilion."
"Nonsense, you're clearly talking about Mu Jing Candle. The thousand rhinos is looking for an antidote. Everybody heard that, right? β
Su Yan, who was sent by Su Changju to observe the burning of a hundred bones, pointed at Xie Xiaoer at this moment, saying that he was lying.
As soon as Xie Xiaoer saw that it was him, he knew that it was arranged by Su Changdu, and he immediately rushed up to seal his mouth.
"Bi'an, is what you just said true?" Mu Qitian reacted at this time, he seemed to have heard Jing Candle's name, and hurriedly asked, "Isn't he in prison?" How can it be in Qufu? β
"Master Mu, you don't know yet, do you?" Master Su suddenly spoke faintly, "The Mu Jing Candle in the prison was pretended to be disguised by someone, and the real Mu Jing Candle was not in the prison from the beginning. In this matter, I think Xie Er Gongzi will give you a satisfactory answer. β
Xie Xiaoer frowned, he didn't expect Master Su to know about this, it was estimated that Yang Wan'er revealed it.
She poisoned Qu Youying, and revealed the incident of Mu Jingzhu and Su Yun's reversal, so that Master Su would never believe them anymore no matter what.
Then the plan they have made will not be realized.
Such a method is really ruthless and spicy!
"Master Su, my son must have a reason to do this, he wants to arrest the real murderer, so please look at my face and please spare him once. Let's wait until Xiaoying is out of dangerβ"
"Why did the official wait for her, a people's daughter, to be out of danger before giving an order? This official has to burn these bad bones today, I want to see if the murderer will appear! If not, then Mu Jingzhu will have to pay the corresponding price for killing the captain and escaping from prison without permission! β
Master Su suddenly became aggressive, and in his words, he didn't care about human life at all.
This attitude made Mu Qitian slightly stunned, and Xie Xiaoer clenched his fists, very dissatisfied, and stood up from the ground.
"Master Su, I respect you as an official of the imperial court, and I respect you as an elder, so I am polite to you. But don't push people too hard, after all, it's a living life now! β
"Fresh life? Haha......" Master Su sneered, "Do you know that if you can't find the real murderer of the Taiwei, you will not only sacrifice such a fresh life!" Which is more important, Xie Er Gongzi, you should know! Come on, burn it for me! β
"Don't burn!"
Xie Xiaoer argued on the basis of reason, he was not afraid of the people of the yamen, but in addition to the yamen, there were also the guards of Master Su and the original subordinates of Taiwei.
There are so many people that even if all the officials resist together, it will not work.
He also knew that it was useless to mess around with his past at this moment, because power decided everything, and if he strongly resisted, it would only be Xie Fu who would be affected in the end.
So what he can do is to use Qu Youying's image in the hearts of the people of Xiangling Town over the years to make a bet.
"Master Su, Xiaoying is a servant of Xiangling Town, she is a girl's family, she has not been out of the cabinet, but she has been showing up outside to check the body, in order to let those who died in vain get the innocence that belongs to them. And on weekdays, she has been doing good deeds, and these people in Xiangling Town can testify. What kind of person Xiaoying is, they all know it in their hearts. If some of these people think that she didn't do well and really deserves to die, then today it will be my Xie Xiaoer's nonsense, and I am willing to accept the punishment. If not, please give me a chance, as long as Xiaoying is out of danger, we will let you deal with it. β
As soon as these words came out, the chatter in the crowd suddenly became quieter, and no one spoke, only the cry known in the forest became the only sound at this moment.
But it didn't take long for someone to take a step forward.
"Master Su, I am the one who has been helped by Miss Qu, if it weren't for her autopsy, I'm afraid I would have been executed as a murderer. So please save her. β
"Yes, Miss Qu has also helped me, she has been giving us silver and helping us......"
"And me, Miss Qu will teach the children to read and write whenever she has time......"
For a while, the people pleaded with Qu Youying.
Xie Xiaoer looked at this situation, his eyes were a little moist, and he raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Master Su, you see, the people don't want Xiaoying to be in danger. So please agree, first transport the bones back to the abandoned house on Fengling Street, please! β
For officials, even if they are the emperors, what they want most is what the people want.
But just such a little woman with no identity background can make so many people intercede for her, which is enough to prove how she is a person.
Master Su looked at these people, said a word, muttered for a long time, and finally nodded.
Xie Xiaoer saw it and was very happy.
"Thank you, Lord Su."
He turned around and left, but Master Su stopped him again.
"Wait."
Xie Xiaoer's movement on the horse was sluggish, and he looked back at Lord Su and asked, "What else does the Lord have to order?" β
"After all, Mu Jingzhu escaped from prison before, and the official only gave him time until the end of tonight, and at that time, no matter whether Miss Qu is alive or dead, he must return to the prison, otherwise the official will make the entire Xiangling Town unable to live!"
"Isn't this going to be ......?"
Xie Xiaoer wanted to buy more time, but was interrupted by Mu Qitian.
Mu Qitian said to Master Su, "Thank you, sir." At that time, the lower officials will definitely escort him back to the prison in person, please rest assured. β
Xie Xiaoer didn't understand it yet, but after seeing the color that Mu Qitian made to him, he understood.
Mu Qitian wanted to tell him that he was at least the prefect here, and no matter what happened, he would stand in his way.
"Uncle Mu, thank you."
Xie Xiaoer got on his horse on his side, waved the reins, and ran to the road.
Lord Su immediately ordered all the bones to be transported back.
The people also dispersed, and with someone mixed in the crowd, they quickly disappeared into the crowd.
In Qufu, the news of Qu Youying's poisoning was spread by whom.
When Aunt Sun learned about it, she wanted to inform Qu Qingyang, who was outside, but Qu Qiluo closed the door, walked to her side, and whispered, "Mother, don't you think this is a good opportunity?" β
"Good chance?" Aunt Sun glanced at her daughter, "What do you meanβ"
Qu Youying was poisoned and her life was in danger, all because of her participation in the Xilin Hundred Bones case. No matter who poisoned her, she died at the hands of that man, so what does it have to do with us? After all, in a sense, thanks to her poisoning, she can get rid of Qu Youying for us. As long as she is dead, then in the entire Qufu, except for my brother, there will be only one young lady left. β
Qu Qiluo looked gentle and tender, but when he said this, the viciousness on his face was very ruthless.
"Mother, I know you have concerns, after all, now that Dad is no longer in the house, we didn't notify him immediately, but there are always some accidents on the road, are you right?"
Qu Qiluo smiled, smiling beautifully, like a poppy, bewitching and dangerous.
"Then Su Changdu's side-"
Aunt Sun was still a little hesitant, but Qu Qiluo interrupted indifferently, "Lying down in Qu Youying is lucky not to die, then let's continue to hold on to the Su family." If she dies, my father will be left with a daughter, and he will definitely agree after a long time, so this is not a conflict. β
Her words made Aunt Sun's eyes suddenly light up, and she was quite satisfied with her daughter's plan.
Just by squinting, Aunt Sun reached a line with her daughter.
"Just do as you say!"
Qu Qiluo nodded slowly, "In order not to arouse suspicion, let's go to Meiyuan to have a look later." β
"Good!"
The two looked at each other, both with vicious smiles in their eyes.
But the people in Meiyuan don't think like this.
The subordinates were all gathered together by the small books, and only a few maids who worked neatly were sent to Yun Shu.
Yun Shu went in and out, every time he brought in clean water, and when he came out, it was black and red blood water, which was very seeping.
Qianxi even ordered that no one was allowed to take half a step close to the door, otherwise he would not be spared.
Therefore, when the second room came slowly, it was also turned away.
"What? As an aunt, why should I come here to visit the children of the Qu family? Now that the master is gone, I am the master of the Qu family! β
She is so arrogant, she doesn't know if she really comes to see people, or if she is watching a good show, of course the little book can't let people in.
"Madam, I'm really sorry, it's not that the little one won't let you in, it's really that the Thousand Rhino Girl is researching the antidote, so it's inconvenient to disturb."
"Isn't it possible to study the antidote elsewhere? This is Qu Mansion, not her Purple Pavilion! And she can only make incense, how can she learn to heal! Don't really delay my sister's illness and have no power to return to heaven. β
Qu Qiluo said this so loudly that almost the entire Meiyuan people heard it.
If Qu Youying really died for this, then the first person to be suspected was Qianxi. Anyway, I won't suspect that they are in the second room.
"Second Miss has something to say, and she is really getting better and better."
Qian Xi suddenly opened the door, and an unpleasant smell of medicine poured out from inside, and Qu Qiluo and Aunt Sun immediately covered their noses with their hands.
"What do you smell like?"
"The smell of poison." Qianxi's lips hooked slightly, and he smiled, "Are you afraid?" β
"Who's scared!" Qu Qiluo came to see where Qu Youying had died today, so she had to enter this room, so she immediately stepped forward, pushed away Qianxi, and strode inside, "She is my sister, I don't allow any outsiders to hurt her." β
Qianxi didn't stop her, let her and Aunt Sun walk in, and let the door open.
Qu Youying inside was lying on the bed, her lips were black and purple, even her nails were black, her face was pale and pale, and at first glance, she scared the mother and daughter in the second room.
"How so?" Qu Qiluo trembled and pointed to the person on the bed, turned around and asked Qianxi, "What kind of poison did she have?" β
"Miao Jiang's snake bone poison, Gu poison refined from the snake bones of hundreds of poisonous snakes, poisoned people, if there is no antidote, they will die of poison within six hours. But it is not easy to study the antidote. So if you don't want to lose your loved ones, you'd better get me out! β
When the thousand rhinos got angry, it was very cold, like a thousand-year-old frost, with a sharp coldness.
Qu Qiluo was woken up by her last sentence, and instantly reacted, they were here to "care" about Qu Youying, not to find trouble.
So he immediately turned around and lay down in front of the bed, sobbing quietly.
"Sister, you must get better, I have already sent someone to inform Daddy, no matter what, you must persevere. My mother and I will pray for you. β
"Alright, let's go out when we're done!"
Qianxi didn't give them face at all, and immediately drove people out, whether they wanted to or not, and blasted them out directly.
This made the mother and daughter in the second room have nowhere to put their face, but they know that Qianxi's methods are powerful, so in this case, they can only withdraw first.
And the door that had been open was completely closed at this moment, blocking some people from looking at it with purpose.
