Song Wan stayed in the dark hut, anxious but helpless.

Seeing that Zhang Xuehai was beaten half to death and convicted of a capital crime, although she refused to admit it, she felt that she was in a catastrophe.

Time passed like this, and I don't know how long it was, there was no sound at all from the silence outside, and suddenly, Song Wan heard a rustling sound outside the door, like a mouse.

"Ah, what the hell is this place, you let me out!"

Frightened, she threw herself in front of the door and banged desperately on the door, hoping to get the guard's attention.

"Madam, it's me, it's Cui'er who has come to see you, don't shout."

Cui'er took advantage of the night to slip out of the small door of the county mansion and ran all the way to the backyard of the county office.

Originally, she brought a lot of silver taels and thought about bribing the guards, but fortunately, those guards thought that Song Wan would definitely not be able to run out as a weak woman, so she locked the door and went to sleep, so that Cui'er now has a chance to come forward and speak.

Through the door panel, Song Wan felt a lot of emotion in her heart.

Although she did do some bad things that were sorry for her conscience, she didn't have any bad thoughts about the Song family, and she helped say a lot of good things.

But today, Song Wen treated her like that, she didn't expect that even her parents would be so mean and ruthless to her.

Now my personal maid can still come to see herself, which is really rare.

"Cui'er, why are you here?"

Song Wan's nose was sour, and she asked intermittently:

"What's the situation out there now, has the county order been deflated?"

"Madame, don't say it."

Cui'er also had bitter water in her stomach, so she poured it out in one go.

"As soon as the master came home, he was furious and threw all your clothes in the backyard warehouse. Now the people in the house are panicking, and they don't know what happened."

Seeing that the county order was also so ruthless to herself, Song Wan sighed heavily.

"And how did you know I was here?"

"I paid for the little guy next to my master, and I found out. It was already time for me to sneak out while no one was looking. Madame, what are we going to do now?"

Song Wan took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

The more dangerous the situation is now, the less she can afford to rush.

Suddenly, a hint of murder flashed in her eyes.

"Cui'er, do you remember the little poison I hid in the partition under the bed, you put it all in the wine and send it to Zhang Xuehai tonight."

Only the dead are the safest and will not betray themselves.

In order for her to live, only by killing Zhang Xuehai and dying without proof can she save everything.

"Wow, what......"

Where did Cui'er do anything to make money and kill her, when she heard that Song Wan asked her to kill Zhang Xuehai, she suddenly turned pale with fright, and shook her head again and again.

"Madame, don't be stupid. When the county decrees this breath is gone, maybe it will be fine."

Song Wan hurriedly persuaded:

"Cui'er, how could the county order spare me? And you are my intimate maid, if something really happens to me, according to his good-faced character, can he tolerate you knowing this ugly thing? When the time comes, neither you nor I will be able to escape!"

Cui'er was already worried about this, but now that she heard Song Wan say it herself, she was sure that she would not live long.

"But, I haven't done anything to kill anyone."

"Cui'er, everything has a first time, I promise you, as long as you help me do this well, when I come out, I will tear up your deed of sale, and I will definitely find you a good family and a good husband for you!"

Cui'er hesitated.

If she didn't, she wouldn't have ended up, if she had gambled.

Song Wan heard that there was no sound outside, and she became even more anxious.

"Cui'er, you've been with me for so long, how can I ever treat you badly, just help me this time!"

There was silence outside

After a long time, a small voice was heard.

"Madam, Cui'er knows what to do, so, how can I get to prison?"

Song Wan saw that Cui'er was moved by her own words and was willing to do this, so she immediately instructed:

"You give those guards more silver taels, saying that you are a member of the Zhang family, and you want to send a pot of thin wine to the head of the family."

"Will this work?"

"Cui'er, just give it a try!"

Song Wan urged:

"Before anyone else finds out about you, go quickly!"

At Song Wan's urging, Cui'er also had a fever, and she secretly left the county government and returned to the mansion, and found the bag of poison that had been collected from Song Wan's room.

She looked at the small paper bag, and her hands trembled uncontrollably.

Do you really want to help Song Wan poison Zhang Xuehai?

Is she really guilty of doing such a thing for Song Wan?

But after thinking about Song Wan's promise to herself, she still wavered.

She doesn't want to be a maid all her life, she also wants to leave this high-walled compound and be herself.

Cui'er was ruthless, went to the back kitchen to find a pot of wine, sprinkled all the powder into it, and then shook the wine jug.

Waiting for everything to be done, she carefully held the wine jug in her arms, and left Zhang's mansion at night.

Before prison.

Cui'er looked at the five big and three thick guards in front of her, her legs and stomachs couldn't stop beating, she stepped forward boldly, and was stopped by someone.

"Who, this is a prison place, hurry back!"

Seeing that it was a girl in front of her, the jailer's attitude was not so vicious, but he just stretched out his hand to stop her.

"Big brother, you are good, I am the maid of the Zhang family."

"The maid of the Zhang family?"

The jailer raised an eyebrow and looked at her coldly.

"That's even worse!"

Cui'er took out a silver ingot from her bosom as Song Wan said.

"Brother Guancha, you are doing well, tell you the truth, I, I am actually with the head of the family......

Cui'er feigned sadness and hung her head.

"I have received a lot of favors from the head of my family, and when I heard that he suffered this calamity, I knew that I might not have the opportunity to see each other again in the future, so I ...... it."

Cui'er stopped talking, and then shoved the ingot into the jailer's hand.

Seeing that the other party was a little moved, he quickly took the jade bracelet from his hand and gave it to the jailer.

The jailer rolled his eyes when he saw Cui'er so pitiful.

"This Zhang Xuehai is really a blessing. Alright, you hurry up and get in. I'll only give you a stick of incense for the time, and don't blame me for being merciless when the time is over."

"Thank you, big brother! Thank you!"

Cui'er followed the jailer into the prison with great gratitude.

But as soon as she entered, her face changed drastically.

There were many prisoners in the prison, most of them were not human-looking, and there was a rotten, damp smell in the prison, which made Cui'er's face turn blue and retch several times before she took two steps.

Seeing such a delicate woman as Cui'er walking in, she suddenly showed greed on her face, rushed to the railing, slapped and teased her.

"Yo, where did this chick come from?"

"Chick, come and accompany your master."

Cui'er trembled with fright, holding the pot of wine in her arms, and couldn't take a step.

"Shut up! Otherwise, I'll whip you one by one with a whip!"

The jailer's eyes widened and he roared angrily to scare the prisoners away.

Finally, according to the jailer's instructions, she found Zhang Xuehai.

Zhang Xuehai's cell was in the deepest part of the prison, and there was no one in the next few compartments, and he was lying on the straw, his eyes closed, the scars on his buttocks and body were shocking, and the white middle coat and pants were dyed red after the blood coagulated.

"Okay, if you have anything to say, I'll pick you up then."

The jailer opened the door and shouted to Zhang Xuehai inside:

"Hey, someone came to see you."

Cui'er nodded to the jailer and thanked him a few times, and waited until his figure completely disappeared outside the door before she boldly walked to Zhang Xuehai's edge.

At this time, Zhang Xuehai was already half-unconscious, and even if Cui'er walked to his side, he didn't react.

Cui'er squatted down, watched him gasp with considerable effort, and muttered:

"Master Zhang, it's strange, it's strange, it's not that I'm going to kill you."

"Bodhisattva Buddha, Cui'er's move is really helpless, don't let Cui'er go to hell."

While muttering, she opened the pot of wine, and with her other hand trembling, she pinched Zhang Xuehai's cheek and lifted it up.

"Master Zhang, you go all the way, even if you are a ghost, don't come to me to settle accounts."

Finally, Cui'er was ruthless and aimed the wine jug at Zhang Xuehai's mouth, she didn't care about the wine glass, and the wine went down Zhang Xuehai's throat.

It wasn't until the flask was empty that Cui'er came back to her senses.

She lowered her eyes and looked at Zhang Xuehai, who was out of breath on the ground, and the hairs on her body stood up.

Run.

The only thought on her mind was to get out of here.

Cui'er stood up and ran out like crazy.

It was the first time she had killed someone.

She felt her stomach churning, and she didn't eat anything, but she couldn't stop retching.

Cui'er ran for a long time and finally returned to the county mansion.

It was late at night, and there were only a few lights in the prefectural mansion, and she leaned against the wall, hiding in the darkness.

After a long time, she felt that her clothes were all soaked with sweat, but her heart was still pounding.

Thinking back to what had just happened, she felt as if she had been in a dream.

She didn't want to reminisce anymore.

At this time, Cui'er looked down and realized that she was still holding the empty wine jug in her hand.

No, she's going to have to get rid of this thing quickly.

After thinking about it, Cui'er planned to smash this thing, and then throw some into the lake and bury some in the back mountain.

Just as she was about to go to the backyard with the wine jug to deal with it, suddenly, several little guys came out of nowhere and surrounded her.

"Cui'er, it's so late, why are you sweating profusely?"

Walking out from behind a few people was the concubine of the county order.

"You, why are you here?"

Cui'er was shocked and hurriedly wanted to hide the wine jug, but now that she is surrounded by groups, where is there still a chance to hide it.

The little concubine stepped forward and grabbed Cui'er's hand.

"Let me see what you're holding in your hand!"

"Don't!"

Cui'er was shocked and struggled desperately.

Seeing that Cui'er was so disobedient, the little guys immediately stepped forward and pressed her shoulder, and one of them used a lot of strength to directly snatch the wine jug from Cui'er's hand.

"Master, it's a flask."

The little concubine looked at the wine jug and sneered:

"What are you trying to do at such a late hour, running in and out, and now with an empty flask?"

Cui'er was so panicked that her forehead was sweating, and she defended repeatedly:

"I didn't run in and out, I picked up this flask, can't I pick it up?"

The concubine glanced at Cui'er with disdain.

When she heard what Song Wan said a few days ago, she knew that something would happen at home. When the county order comes back today, the atmosphere is so wrong, something big must have happened.

Fortunately, she was a little scheming, and sent someone to keep an eye on Song Wan's movements early.

Now that I have caught this strange whereabouts of Cui'er, I naturally want to ask about it.

"Are you so easy to deceive me, forget it, I don't talk nonsense with you. A few of you, bring her to the prefectural magistrate!"
