Chapter 263: Torture
At this point, the tightly closed water eyes suddenly opened, and there was a bit of light in the eyes, and then, an exclamation suddenly came from the crowd of onlookers, and the man in black who was originally hanging on the wall also opened his eyes, but his lips turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Immediately after, I saw the man in black babbling something, Mei Xiang stepped forward and put him down from the wall, and the man reached out to gesture to something, while pointing to the person dressed as a maid in the crowd, while shaking his head again and again.
"What does he mean, but Qiao'er is innocent?"
Among the people, there was a sharp-eyed opening, and suddenly there was an exclamation, followed by another burst of discussion, Chu Nian calmed his breath slightly, and then turned his eyes to look at the man in black, at this moment, the man in black looked at Chu Nian's eyes full of fear, as if Chu Nian was a demon god from hell, so that as long as he made eye contact with Chu Nian, his whole body was trembling.
At this point, Chu Niancai condensed and said, "Nodding or shaking your head, but when you walked to the door of Xiao Chen's courtyard, you were knocked unconscious?" ”
The man in black didn't dare to lie at this moment, and when he saw Chu Nian asking, he nodded again and again.
Seeing this, Chu Nian breathed a long sigh of relief and continued: "Then let me ask you, your accomplice, but one of the Chu family?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone held their breath and looked at the man in black, in fact, the answer was already very obvious, if it wasn't for Qiao'er to let people in, it could only be Xiao Chen, who had been framing Qiao'er.
At this stall, the man in black opened his mouth and babbled something, no one could understand, seeing the puzzled faces of everyone, the man in black suddenly looked annoyed, his fingers touched the ground, and he drew a horizontal line, but his figure suddenly stopped.
Chu Nian saw that the man in black froze, frowned, and had a hint of foreboding in his heart, and was about to say something, when he saw that the figure of the man in black seemed to be out of control, and he fell to the ground with a "bang".
The onlookers suddenly exclaimed: "Dead!" He's dead! He's dead! ”
Chu Nian's eyebrows made a mess, it seemed that someone had killed someone, she took a step forward and probed the snort of the man in black, and Mei Xiang on the side took a step forward: "Lady, this ......"
"Since it's not Qiao'er, let's release Qiao'er quickly." Chu Nian frowned, his red lips pursed tightly, it seemed that he couldn't get conclusive evidence today, so he would simply bring Xiao Chen to justice.
At this stall, I saw Zhu's mother rushing in and crying: "Lady! Come and have a look! Madame was about to take Qiao'er to the pig cage! ”
Chu Nian frowned and looked at Mother Zhu, who was full of panic, didn't she just give an order to say that she couldn't move? Xiao Chen is afraid that she won't find a chance to trouble her?
Without further ado, everyone poured out of the cell of Vanilla House and headed towards the main hall, Mei Xiang followed behind Chu Nian and chanted: "The traitor is at most responsible for the cane, where did Xiao Chen's rule come from to soak Qiao'er in a pig cage?" ”
Chu Nian glanced back at Mei Xiang, pursed his red lips, and then walked forward quickly: "Let's save people first." ”
When they arrived, Qiao'er happened to be put into the pig cage and was about to be sent to Taiming Lake Shenhu, at this stall, Chu Nian hurriedly stopped the family who transported Qiao'er: "Who gave you the courage to dare to touch my people?" ”
When the family saw Chu Nian, they immediately stopped their hands and put Qiao'er on the ground, Zhu's mother hurriedly stepped forward to rescue Qiao'er who was imprisoned, and at this stall, Xiao Chen on the side stepped forward and said: "Nian'er, what are you doing, she made a mistake, I can't soak her in the pig cage yet?" ”
Chu Nian frowned, and then said with a smile: "Madam, I have already said it just now, I will personally interrogate her later, why are you so anxious, but you are afraid that some secrets will be leaked by Qiao'er?" ”
Xiao Chen's heart was chilled by Chu Nian's gaze, and she snorted coldly: "Isn't this still for your good?" Do you know that such an evil servant is placed in your house, and sooner or later she will be able to do such a ......"
"The man has already given the full account." Chu Nian looked at Xiao Chen with a slight smile, and the second half of Xiao Chen's unspoken sentence suddenly came to an abrupt end.
After reacting for a while, Xiao Chen put up a hypocritical smile and said, "What do you mean...... The man in black said, didn't Qiao'er do it? ”
Chu Nian looked at Xiao Chen fixedly, did not speak, Xiao Chen's face showed a little weakness, but it was well concealed, seeing Chu Nian's inquiring gaze, she just sorted out her sideburns, and then continued: "Since it's not, it's that I'm wrong to blame Qiao'er, however, someone also reported to me that I saw Qiao'er secretly having a lover a few days ago, and I just remembered this matter, so I went to ask Qiao'er, but she refused to say which man dared to steal our Chu family's people with me, so I had to dip her in a pig cage, It's just to scare her. ”
In the law of Da Liang, if a servant sells himself to an official family, he is a member of the master's family, and if he has a personal relationship with others without the permission of the master, he is considered to have violated the master's order and will be immersed in the pig cage.
It's a shame that Xiao Chen can still come up with such a method, but now it seems that Xiao Chen's repeated desire for Qiao'er to die must be because Qiao'er knows what secret she has, as for what secret...... I'm afraid that Qiao'er can't figure it out herself.
Chu Nian squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Qiao'er, at this moment Qiao'er was already pale with fright, and she couldn't even cry, and Qiao'er, who was released from the pig cage, was also weak and weak, and she had to be carefully held by Mother Zhu to barely stand up.
Chu Nian's eyes flashed slightly, and after a while, he turned his eyes to look at Xiao Chen, and said: "Madame, why worry, since it is my person, I naturally have the right to manage, Qiao'er has already greeted me before, it must not be a private meeting, and now Qiao'er's grievances have been cleared, Madame's move is actually inappropriate." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Chen glanced at Chu Nian as if he was a little inquisitive, and seeing that Chu Nian had nothing but suspicion in his eyes, Xiao Chen's heart that had been hanging was put down, and she smiled at Chu Nian and said, "Since that's the case...... Then I will leave them in your care, but next time ...... If she is still so ignorant, I will definitely punish her for you. ”
Chu Nian raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Chen, but did not speak, his red lips were still slightly raised, as if he had no emotion, but his eyes were deep, which made Xiao Chen only feel uncomfortable in his heart.
At this point, he smiled awkwardly, looked at Chu Nian tentatively, and said, "You have already finished the trial over there?" ”
Chu Nian nodded slowly, looking at Xiao Chen meaningfully, Xiao Chen's face suddenly turned a little pale, and then he saw Chu Nian half-lowered his eyes and said: "After the trial, that person said, Qiao'er is not his accomplice, as for the other ......"
Chu Nian glanced up at Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen's body suddenly trembled, but he saw Chu Nian and said with a smile: "That person suddenly died suddenly in the middle of speaking, I looked, it seems that there is something wrong with it, Madame doesn't have to worry, in the future, I will definitely strengthen the garrison in the house, I just hope that Madame will not see anyone in the middle of the night in the future, my Chu family's enemies, but there are many, if something really happens to Madame, I can't protect Madame, wouldn't I feel guilty?" ”
Xiao Chen heard Chu Nian's words, and his face suddenly sank slightly, and then he saw Chu Nian turn his eyes and walk towards Vanilla House: "Okay, go and a few people to dispose of that person's body, Mother Zhu took Qiao'er and Mei Xiang, and went to invite Auntie back." ”
Everyone immediately dispersed when they got the order, and at this time, Xiao Chen came back to his senses, everyone had already dispersed, her eyes were gloomy looking at Chu Nian's back, and her teeth in her mouth were clucking: "Chu Nian, you murderer, I will definitely want you to also taste the price of the departure of those close to you!" ”
At night, Zhu's mother wanted to serve Chu Nian's side, but she was worried that Qiao'er would be frightened during the day, so Chu Nian waved Zhu's mother away and stayed alone in the bedroom in a quiet daze.
At this stall, I saw Mei Xiang coming in from outside, holding a tray in her hand, on which were two tea cups, and a pot of tea that had just been brewed.
Chu Nianzheng was puzzled, so he saw Tao Jinyan fold the folding fan in his hand and walked into the house calmly.
Chu Nian looked at him with some amusement and said, "Are you breaking into the boudoir at night in the bright light?" ”
Tao Jinyan opened the folding fan, sat down on the chair beside Chu Nian unceremoniously, picked up the tea cup that Mei Xiang had just poured herself, and took a sip before nodding and saying, "It would be a good thing if you could make you have to marry me because of this." ”
Chu Nian glared at him, picked up the teacup and put it between his nose and sniffed it, raised his eyebrows and said, "This is the dragon bud you said you wanted to give me?" It's not good to drink, didn't you receive two batches of good and bad, and keep the good ones for yourself, but the bad ones were sent to me? ”
Hearing this, Tao Jinyan suddenly broke his work in a second, he glared at Chu Nian angrily, and said: "Kindly send you tea, you are still picking, it's almost spring, and the dragon buds in this season can reach this point, which is already good." ”
Chu Nian smiled, didn't speak, picked up the teacup and took a sip, narrowed his eyes slightly in enjoyment, and savored it.
At this stall, I saw that Tao was cautious and stopped.
Chu Nian opened his eyes slightly: "What's wrong with you?" Something is very wrong today. ”
Tao Jinyan coughed lightly before saying, "I just wanted to ask you...... I heard that you learned illusion from the Qinghe Hall Master? ”
Hearing this, Chu Nian glanced at Tao Jinyan in surprise: "Mr. Jinyan's news is really the most well-informed. ”
Even the prince, she personally said it, only to know that she had learned illusion, and this matter had not been mentioned to outsiders, and she had used illusion twice in front of Mu Qing, otherwise, it was just in front of the family, but this was only an afternoon's work, and Tao Jinyan had already received the news?
At this moment, Tao Jinyan's face seemed to be a little complicated, she looked at Chu Nian, opened her mouth, and then turned her eyes and said, "Then, have you seen the Qinghe Hall Master?" ”
Chu Nian glanced at him sideways, nodded slowly, and then said: "Yes, I have seen it, the master is a very kind person, and it seems that he is extremely ambitious, but I don't know where his ambition is." ”
Tao Jinyan's face showed a little inexplicable bitterness, and just when Chu Nian was puzzled, he saw Tao Jinyan suddenly prick up his ears: "Chu Nian, there are people outside." ”
