Ordered someone to open the cage, take out the body of the dead bird, and look at it silently for a moment. Looking at the wisps of blood at the corner of the bird's mouth, it took a long time before he slowly turned around, looked at Su Xiyun and said for a moment: "What is this matter, I want to listen to you, I don't believe a word in the words of others." ”

Su Xiyun's sharp eyes saw Xiuyue kneeling on the ground, and her face changed suddenly.

She raised her head and looked at the county lord of Jingyi: "You believe everything I say?" ”

Lord Jingyi nodded without hesitation and said, "As long as you say it." I will believe it. ”

Su Xiyun smiled slightly and said: "How did this bird die, in fact, I don't know, Qianyun and I have never moved a finger of the bird from beginning to end, and all the food and water are fed by this maid herself." ”

As soon as her words fell, Xiuyue, who was kneeling on the ground, shouted: "Yes, I fed the food and water, but there is no poison in it at all!" Birds don't die because the food is poisonous! ”

Su Xiyun was still smiling. The expression on her face did not change at all, she glanced at Xiuyue, and said lightly: "Oh? Did you feed it? So what did you just say I fed you? Don't admit yourself? "These words are light and light. It's just that Xiuyue, who was kneeling there, turned pale.

Lord Jingyi immediately turned her head, and she glanced at Xiuyue angrily. said angrily: "Okay, sure enough, you are lying!" Come. Fifty slap mouths! As soon as the words fell, several servant women immediately rushed out from under the porch, and went straight to Xiuyue, who was kneeling there.

Seeing that those fan-like palms were about to make intimate contact with his mouth, Xiuyue shouted anxiously: "County Lord! The slave's other words are true! When the slave went to the kitchen to get food, it was indeed only two young ladies here! Slaves and maids must be eating clean! The bird died, and it must have been the two of them who took advantage of no one's move! Otherwise, how can the slave and maid be fed? They're dead? ”

After saying this, the big palms of those servant women had already fallen coldly.

At this time, the county lord of Jingyi suddenly spoke: "Slow, wait a minute!" ”

For Xiuyue, these words seemed to be the sound of heaven, and they immediately rescued her from her bad luck. The two mothers-in-law who were holding her let go of their hands, and the big palms hanging above her head also retreated, Xiuyue was a little proud, and glanced at Su Xiyun with some pride.

Su Xiyun understood the meaning of her eyes, didn't she just want to tell her that the person the county lord trusted the most was still her Xiuyue? But Su Xiyun didn't care about these at all. Besides, what will things turn out in the end, it's hard to say now, Xiuyue is excited like this now, which is enough to show that she is an impetuous person, and the calm and generous she showed at the beginning are fundamentally different things, it seems to be deliberately pretended, why did she do this?

Su Xiyun was puzzled.

But Monarch Jingyi had already spoken, but he said to Su Xiyun: "Xiyun, do you mind if I investigate this matter thoroughly?" ”

Su Xiyun shook her head and said: "County Lord, our sisters naturally hope that you can give us justice, this matter is best investigated thoroughly, whether it is black or white, right or wrong, it is good for us to check it clearly, you don't have to face our sisters, you don't have to be pimpled in your heart, we also end up innocent, Miss Cheng'anbo, if you fall into the charge of cruelty to the county lord's pet in the county king's mansion, then we don't have to gain a foothold in the capital, this matter spreads, we will wait to apologize for our crimes!" ”

This is quite serious.

The county lord of Jingyi changed his face, and said with a straight face: "Xiyun, what are you talking about!" Of course I believe in you! Don't worry, no matter what the outcome of this matter is, not a word will be passed out from our county king's mansion, otherwise, I will immediately kill all the servants in this courtyard! ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the servants and servants in Ziwei Courtyard changed, and they all looked at the county lord Jingyi with some fear, and during this period, some people quietly stared at the Su Xiyun sisters, and their eyes were extremely cold.

Su Xiyun smiled bitterly, is this to pull hatred for her? If the county lord of Jingyi really wants to do this, then don't these people have to hate her to death? Besides, with so many lives, if you are going to die just because of your own words, will you be able to sleep peacefully in the future?

Besides, Su Xiyun is a modern person in his bones, so he has no thoughts and habits of treating human life as a mustard. Regardless of whether this matter will be counted on her head today, she will not allow these people to die because of herself.

"County Lord, don't say that! These people have served you for so long, without merit and hard work, how can they let them die because of some small things? Su Xiyun opened her mouth to persuade. Although she said it was extremely simple, in fact, she was already tormented in her heart.

Lord Jingyi was unmoved: "How can these people compare with you?" A thousand, ten thousand people can't compare to your status in my heart! This matter has been decided, don't persuade you anymore! I've made up my mind. As she spoke, she turned to a woman and said, "Go and invite the doctor in the house to check whether the food and water in this cage are poisonous, and then see what poison is in the blood stains on the bird's beak!" ”

The woman took the order and left.

The county lord of Jingyi turned to Su Xiyun and said, "Xiyun, don't worry, I will definitely give you justice in this matter!" ”

Su Xiyun nodded, but inadvertently saw that Xiuyue's face had changed, she bit the corners of her mouth tightly and was a little aggrieved, and looked at her lord Jingyi County Lord a little uncomfortably, but unfortunately, the other party didn't look at her at all.

The county lord of Jingyi said to Su Xiyun: "Let's go in and sit, it's not like to stand on this corridor, if you don't feel at ease, I'll ask someone to go in with the birdcage, and I won't let people do it again." ”

Su Xiyun shook her head and said, "No, there are so many people guarding here, there should be nothing to do." ”

Lord Jingyi smiled and said, "Then let's go, it's strange to stand here, let's go in and drink some hot tea." As he spoke, he took Su Xiyun's hand as before, and beckoned Su Qianyun into the hall together, leaving only the maid in the corridor, staring closely at the birdcage and Xiuyue, who was still kneeling there upright.

Looking at the backs of several people leaving, Xiuyue showed a disappointed expression.

As soon as Su Xiyun and the county lord Jingyi and others had taken a few sips of tea, the house doctor arrived. A gray-haired old man who looks very energetic.

Lord Jingyi hurriedly instructed him to inspect the food in the birdcage and the blood stains on the dead bird's beak.

After a while, the government doctor was optimistic and replied: "County Lord, there is no problem with the food in the cage, and there is no problem with the water source, only the blood stain on the bird's beak has arsenic, and the weight is very light, but it is enough to kill a bird." The poisoner did not seem to have been poisoned from the food, but it seemed that it had been going on for a while before feeding the birds. The doctor said with some confusion.

However, the county lord of Jingyi has already gotten the answer, and he doesn't say much at the moment, just politely asks the doctor to leave, of course, red envelopes are indispensable. For the sake of just gaging him.

Waiting for the house doctor to leave, the county lord of Jingyi immediately called Xiuyue, who had been kneeling under the porch, in.

Su Xiyun didn't say anything about this, even when the house doctor said that there was no poison in the birds' food and water sources, she didn't change her expression, and she was always light and light, as if she was just a bystander sitting here.

Lord Jingyi looked at her like this, and subconsciously thought that this matter had nothing to do with her.

Xiuyue walked in on one knee, although she knelt in front of the county lord of Jingyi as soon as she came in, she still took the time to show a mocking smile to Su Xiyun coldly, and then, before no one noticed, she quickly withdrew her gaze.

Su Xiyun felt a little funny, this Xiuyue seemed to have been inexplicably hostile to her all the time. But they have never been alive between them, and Su Xiyun has no sin against this maid from Jiangnan at all, so why should she be so hostile to her? Thinking of this, she glanced at the county lord Jingyi who was sitting on the top without a trace, and saw her with a heavy expression.

In her memory, Su Xiyun seemed to have never seen the county lord of Jingyi like this.

From this point of view, there seem to have been a lot of changes in the county lord of Jingyi, although they are all ordinary things, and they don't need to be taken to heart at all, such as suddenly holding up the county lord's frame in front of Su Xiyun and them, and for example, her smiling face has become so calm now, what has happened to her in the past few months?

Just when Su Xiyun was thoughtful, Su Qianyun on the side suddenly spoke: "County Lord, the diagnosis of the government doctor has come out, what is this matter, please continue to investigate." ”

As soon as her words fell, Xiuyue on the side suddenly raised her head and said: "Two young ladies, you must have heard what the house doctor said just now, the house doctor said, this arsenic is not under the food at all, but long before the food is served, someone fed the birds with poison, but before the slave maid brought the food, there were only the two of you next to the bird cage, you said, who did not give this poison to you?" He said it so smoothly that it was as if he had rehearsed it a thousand times in his mind. Without thinking, he came out of his mouth.

Su Xiyun's eyes became a little dark, she slowly got up from the chair, and then walked towards Xiuyue, who was kneeling there, and said with a smile: "Oh? Miss Xiuyue, how do you know that our sisters are poisoned? Could it be that we came all the way here to poison this bird of the county lord? But you just said that this bird was brought back from Jiangnan by the county lord this time, and you also brought back Miss Xiuyue, right? ”

Xiuyue didn't know why Su Xiyun asked this, but she still nodded.

Su Xiyun said with a smile: "The last time the county lord went to my mansion to celebrate my grandmother's birthday, she didn't say that she brought back a thrush from the south, I don't even know that there is such a bird in the county king's mansion, how can I come in with poison to harm it?" ”

Xiuyue's face turned pale, but she still quibbled: "I don't know if you inquired from the side." "Stay and help.
