"One of you must be talking panic! Who is lying? I smiled meaningfully and waited for their reaction.

When Fan Laosan heard this, he immediately said: "County Lord, what the little one said was the truth, and he didn't dare to deceive the county lord for half a word." He said and glanced at Xiao Xuan, his eyes stayed on Xiao Xuan for a moment, and then looked at me carefully, and when he looked at my gaze, there was a begging look in his eyes, but it was more of a fear born of fear. I have to admit that I'm still too young to tell if he's lying.

I smiled noncommittally and looked at Xiaoxuan again.

Xiao Xuan felt my gaze, lowered her head and whispered: "What the slave and maid said is also the truth, and I dare not deceive the county lord in the slightest." "Xiao Xuan's voice is as thin as a mosquito and fly, if it weren't for my ears, I really don't know if I could hear it clearly. She kept her head down, and I couldn't see her look, and I couldn't tell if she was so afraid of me because she was afraid, or because she was so afraid of me.

I glanced at them and smiled brighter, "I think so, this osmanthus cake, if any of you two eats it, I will believe that whoever is telling the truth." Which of the two of you wants to eat it? ”

Xiao Xuan shook her body lightly twice when she heard this, glanced at Fan Laosan, lowered her head, but didn't say anything. Fan Laosan immediately kowtowed and cried: "The county lord spares his life, what I said is the truth, I really didn't poison it, this osmanthus cake really wasn't made by me." It's not that I don't eat it, I can't eat it, if I die, my family will be on the streets, and for the sake of my family, the county lord, spare the little one. ”

They actually refused to eat, I was a little anxious, and patted the table, "Okay, I'll give you one last chance, if you don't tell the truth, then don't blame the county lord for being ruthless." Youlan, Xianghui, they don't eat it, you feed it to them! ”

"Yes!" Youlan and Xianghui took a piece of osmanthus cake and walked towards Fan Laosan and Xiaoxuan.

Fan Laosan saw Youlan approaching him, and kept begging for mercy, "County Lord, I'm telling the truth, what do you want me to say?" Just spare me! Xiaoxuan just lowered her head and didn't speak, and when she saw Xianghui approaching her, she subconsciously moved two steps back.

I was furious and said, "Since you don't want to give you a chance, it seems that you all want to go to Lord Yama to tell the truth, since this is the case, then I will fulfill you." Youlan Xianghui, don't be polite, feed them food. ”

"Yes!"

Ignoring Fan Laosan's non-cooperation, Youlan forcibly broke Fan Laosan's mouth, stuffed a whole piece of osmanthus cake into Fan Laosan's mouth, and then tightly covered Fan Laosan's mouth to prevent him from spitting it out, and suddenly slapped Fan Laosan's chest, Fan Laosan was shocked, and swallowed a whole piece of osmanthus cake into his stomach at once.

I suddenly heard the sound of "booming" running water, I was wondering, looked down, and saw Fan Laosan's pants wet a lot. It's a little funny in his heart, he was actually scared to pee. He was so scared, does it mean that he is not lying?

At this time, Fan Lao's face was like ashes, his expression was in a trance, as if he was half dead, lying on the ground, while constantly moaning and crying. "Mother, my son can no longer be filial to you in the future. Hu'er, Dad said today that he would bring you something delicious, but ...... But...... Don't blame Dad, it's not Dad who wants to lie to you. Xiu'er, I'll suffer you in the future......"

Seeing Fan Laosan crying so miserably, I was angry and funny, unbearable and speechless.

I was also shocked by Fan Laosan's performance Xianghui and said, "Xianghui, what are you still doing in a daze, don't feed Xiaoxuan quickly." ”

Xianghui came back to her senses and stretched out her hand to Xiaoxuan, Xiaoxuan glanced at Fan Laosan, suddenly pushed Xianghui away, kowtowed to me again and again, and begged while kowtowing: "The county lord spares his life, I say, I will say anything!" ”

I secretly laughed in my heart, she really said a lie, and from the moment I came in, I thought there was something wrong with her. But there was still a silent look on his face, "You say it, you tell the truth, I promise I won't do anything to you!" ”

Xiao Xuan lowered her head, her voice trembling a little, "Early this morning, Sister Xianghui asked me to go to the kitchen to get some snacks for the county lord, I walked halfway and met an acquaintance, so I chatted a few words, and after chatting, I forgot about Sister Xianghui's explanation." When I remembered it, I realized that it had been delayed a lot. I thought of ......" as she said this, her voice trembling even more.

I said coldly, "What comes to mind?" ”

"I ...... Thinking of the majesty of the county lord on weekdays, he was afraid that he would be punished by the county lord if he went back late, so he was afraid to go to the kitchen. Coincidentally, I met the young master's maid Sister Yunxia on the road, and Sister Yunxia was ordered by the young master to send some things to the county lord, including two plates of candied fruit and two plates of pastries, so I said to help her take it, took it, and returned to Yilan Courtyard as if it was brought from the kitchen by herself, and sent it to the county lord. Xiaoxuan knew that she was wrong and shouldn't be lazy. But Xiaoxuan really didn't know that it would be poisonous, she really didn't know. If you know, even if you kill me, I don't dare to send it to the county lord! ”

I listened to Xiaoxuan's words, and my heart was like the waves of the sea, tumbling and turbulent, but I still had some doubts in my heart, pretending to be calm, gently knocked on the handrail, and said lightly: "Is this the case?" So why didn't you say it earlier? ”

"Xiao Xuan was afraid that Xiao Xuan told the truth, and the county lord would punish Xiao Xuan, but later when she heard that it was poisonous, she didn't dare to tell the truth."

I leaned back in my chair, and the chill ran from the soles of my feet to the top of my head, and even my hair was cold. Sure enough, it's you Meng Xiuqi, how can your heart be so vicious, I have no grievances with you, why do you want to hurt me twice or three times? Even if you want to covet the property of the princess's mansion, you won't kill me!

I put away the hatred in my heart and said to Xiaoxuan: "Let me ask you, who made you talk so much that you forgot about your errands?" ”

Xiao Xuan's face suddenly turned red, and her expression was extremely flustered, "It's nothing...... Only...... It's just a good sister of Xiaoxuan. ”

I sneered, "It's not a good sister, it's a lover, right?" ”

Xiao Xuan's eyes widened, she looked at me in horror, kowtowed and begged: "County Lord, this matter is Xiao Xuan's fault alone, it has nothing to do with him, please don't implicate innocent people." Xiao Xuan is willing to receive all the punishments, even if she gives Xiao Xuan death, Xiao Xuan has no complaints. Ask the county lord! ”

I sneered, didn't speak, and thought to myself.

Xianghui asked Xiao Xuan to go to the kitchen to get some snacks, and Xiao Xuan met Meng Xiuqi and the guards beside him on the road, and the guards happened to be the people Xiao Xuan liked. They casually asked Xiao Xuan what she was doing, and Xiao Xuan told the truth. Meng Xiuqi asked the guard to stumble Xiao Xuan, let his subordinates make poisonous osmanthus cakes, and then let his maid Yunxia send it, just in time to meet Xiao Xuan, Xiao Xuan was afraid of being punished, so she took it and took it as if she had brought it from the kitchen. Well, what Xiaoxuan said is reasonable, and there are no flaws. It seems that this time she is telling the truth.

For some reason, I still vaguely felt that something was wrong in my heart, but I couldn't think of anything wrong. Maybe it's because I'm thinking too much.
