Several people were noisy and shouted, and they pushed and dragged Cui'er to the county order's bedroom.

This back and forth was very quiet, and before the concubine could call the county order, she had already woken up the county order.

"Are you going to do the opposite?"

The county magistrate was barefoot, and he slammed open the wooden door without even putting on his clothes.

"What is this going to do in the middle of the night!"

The concubine stepped forward and said softly:

"My lord is angry, the concubine has something to tell you."

"Notice? Is there anything you can't say for most of the day, do you have to come and disturb me in the middle of the night?"

The county commander was so angry that he subconsciously raised his hand and wanted to smash something out, but when he touched it, he realized that he was at home, and he just flicked his sleeves angrily.

"Master, this matter is very important, the concubine does not dare to call the shots, which offends you."

The concubine bowed and bowed, and motioned for a few of her subordinates to escort Cui'er up.

The county magistrate watched sleepily as they dragged a woman up, couldn't react for a while, pointed at the man and asked:

"W-who is this?"

"Master, this is Madame's personal maid, Cui'er."

Cui'er?

Is it the girl who follows Song Wan every day?

mentioned Song Wan, and the county order was even more angry.

I saw that having a tryst with Zhang Xuehai at noon, and in the afternoon and evening, I lost face for her file to solve the case, and I was still tired and half dead, and now in the middle of the night, I have to be woken up because of her maid.

He regretted that he should not have married this woman!

"What did you bring her for?"

The county magistrate looked gloomy, waved his hand and was about to go inside:

"If she does something against the house rules, she will be beaten to death and pulled down, and don't bother me again!"

Hearing that the county order disposed of herself so casually, Cui'er was even more panicked, she struggled desperately, and finally found an opportunity to rush out, kneeling at the feet of the county order and begging for mercy.

"Master, master, Cui'er is innocent, Cui'er is innocent!"

The county commander frowned in disgust, thinking that he was the parent official of a county, and it was probably easy to provoke criticism by executing slaves indiscriminately, so he looked at the concubine and asked:

"What the hell did she do?"

If you suspect that she has something to do with Song Wan's affair, it doesn't reveal that she knows about it. According to his master's cleverness and suspicion, he will definitely guess that he knows about this.

At that time, I don't know how he will doubt himself, and I am afraid that he will not end well.

After thinking about it, the concubine made an excuse, she rolled her eyes, bowed her head and said respectfully:

"When the concubine got up at night, she saw this girl sneaky, going in and out of the mansion, and thought that she must have done something bad, but when she asked her, she didn't say anything, so she could only let the master make a judgment."

The county magistrate glanced down at the poor maid at his feet, but he didn't feel any pity in his heart.

Sure enough, what the master is like, the slave is what it is.

The one who served by Song Wan's side was just like that cheap woman, not good at all.

He lifted his foot and kicked Cui'er away.

"Sneaky in the middle of the night, I must not have any good intentions, drag me down and scold me for thirty!"

Hearing that she was going to be beaten thirty boards, Cui'er trembled with fright, knelt on the ground and crawled to the feet of the county magistrate, hugging his thigh and refusing to let go:

"Master, Cui'er didn't do anything. Cui'er just got up all night, why did she do bad things? Just spare Cui'er."

The county magistrate pulled out his thighs irritably, kicked Cui'er to the side again, and asked the concubine helplessly:

"And what proof do you have?"

"Sir, we found a flask from her."

The concubine presented the wine jug that she had just snatched from Cui'er to the county magistrate.

The prefectural commander held the flask and shook it suspiciously.

It was empty, and there was no wine.

He took a closer look at the maid again, and saw that her face was not drunk

, there is no smell of alcohol, and the heart is even more suspicious.

"You're not going to take my wine and sell it, are you?"

The county magistrate asked suspiciously:

"Nope! Nope!"

Cui'er's head shook like a rattle.

"You just give Cui'er a hundred dares, and Cui'er doesn't dare to do such a thing!"

The concubine on the side saw that the county order finally became suspicious, and immediately fanned the flames.

"When the concubine caught this maid, she was holding this empty wine jug tightly in her hand, looking like she had done something bad. Therefore, the concubine felt that this matter was not simple, so she dared to disturb the master."

The county magistrate frowned, stared at the wine jug in his hand for a long time, lifted the jug and sniffed it closely, and there was indeed a smell of wine in it.

If her concubine said so, this maid must have gone out with wine.

But if she was selling wine secretly, why did she bring the pot back?

So where did the wine go?

With a wave of his hand, he pointed to a small servant beside the concubine.

"You go and call the master over and let him come and see."

After saying that, he commanded:

"You, come in and change my clothes."

The concubine saluted and respectfully followed the county order into the house. After a while, the county commander dressed neatly and led the group to the front room, waiting for the master to come over.

After about a stick of incense, the master came in a hurry.

"My lord, what is the important thing about you calling the lowly to come over late at night?"

The county magistrate handed him the flask in his hand and said:

"You give this officer a closer look at the flask."

"Wine jug?"

The master was a little strange, so he took the flask and looked at it in a different direction.

"My lord, is this a flask?"

But seeing the solemn expression of the county magistrate, and then at the maid kneeling on the side, the master keenly felt that this matter was definitely not so simple.

He opened the pot and looked closer, only to see some white powder precipitated at the bottom of the pot.

"This ......"

The master gasped, his face solemn.

"My lord, is there anything like a silver needle in the house?"

When everyone heard the silver needle, they looked at each other.

This is a drug test!

The concubine on the side understood, and immediately took out a silver hairpin from her head and handed it over.

"Master, this silver needle is hard to find for a while, can you see if you can use this?"

The master looked at the silver hairpin, nodded and said:

"Thank you."

Under the gaze of everyone, the master stretched the silver hairpin into the wine jug, turned it around and pulled it out.

I saw that the other end of the silver hairpin slowly changed color, and finally turned black!

Everyone was shocked.

The master hurriedly presented the blackened silver hairpin and said hurriedly:

"My lord, the wine in this jug has been poisoned!"

The county commander took the silver hairpin and paused for breath.

He suddenly understood that the maid had poisoned the wine and brought it out, but now that the jug was empty, where did all the wine go?

The concubine on the side saw the blackened silver hairpin, and she also became nervous.

She originally thought that Song Wan's personal maid secretly went to see Song Wan, but she didn't expect that she had such a big courage to poison the wine, and now the poisonous wine in it is gone.

Could it be that Song Wan has already been?

"Say, where did you go with this poisonous wine?"

The county magistrate was furious and asked.

Cui'er was so frightened that she was terrified, where did she still speak? She opened her mouth, stammered and couldn't make a syllable, her pupils were almost dilated, and there was no sparkle in her eyes.

"Someone, call me!"

As soon as the words fell, a little servant stepped forward with a stick, and even in the face of a woman, they would not show mercy.

"Ahh

」

The miserable screams immediately resounded throughout the mansion.

"Poisonous woman! This official really couldn't imagine that Song Wan was such a vicious woman, and even the subordinates who followed her were just as ruthless!"

The county commander watched Cui'er being beaten, and the hatred in his eyes did not diminish at all, as if it was Song Wan who was being beaten by the group of little guys at this moment.

Where could Cui'er withstand such a beating, and within a few strokes, she vomited blood and begged for mercy on the ground.

"Master, master, please spare Cui'er. Cui'er is also helpless, and Cui'er is only instructed by others......

Seeing that the maid was about to lose her breath after being beaten, the master quickly stopped regardless of the county order's face.

If they really beat people to death, how can they find out where the poisoned wine went?

"You, who do you want to poison with poisoned wine!?"

"The slave and maid were outside the mansion recently, and they were surrounded by stray dogs, and the slave and maid were afraid......

When the county magistrate heard that this fake lie could no longer be faked, he was even more furious.

"Don't say it? Come on, give me a call! If you kill them, you will be dragged to a mass grave to feed the dogs!"

After a few more sticks, Cui'er lay on the ground weakly, struggling with blood in her mouth.

"The slave said, yes, it was my wife who asked me to give it and poison Zhang Xuehai......

With that, she fainted.

Poisoning Zhang Xuehai?

This Song Wan is so ruthless!

The county order trembled, and knew a little more about the true face of the woman who had slept with him for many years.

If she hinders her one day, will she also order her maid to poison herself?

Just thinking about it for a moment, the county order broke out in a cold sweat.

"My lord, it is imperative that we go to the prison to see Zhang Xuehai's situation quickly."

Seeing that the county commander's face was not good, the master reminded in a low voice.

"Yes, yes."

The county magistrate suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly said:

"Go and get someone to prepare the car, and go to the prison immediately!"

In front of the prison door.

The guard was sitting on a small bench, yawning boredly.

But soon, the sound of carriages in the distance made him feel a little energetic, and when he looked closely, it was actually the county magistrate.

"My lord, I don't know why you came here......

Before the guards could finish patting the horses, the county magistrate glared at him fiercely.

"Hurry up and lead the way, this official is going to see Zhang Xuehai!"

The guard scratched his head, thinking to himself that this Zhang Xuehai was really a busy man, he had just been locked up for one night, and he was a maid and a county order, why did they all come?

He couldn't figure out what the county order was thinking, but he could see that the other party was very anxious, so he led the way in a daze.

When several people came to the door of Zhang Xuehai's cell, Zhang Xuehai lay motionless on the ground, his face pale and lifeless.

"Zhang Xuehai, Zhang Xuehai?"

The guard shouted to him while opening the door, not realizing what was happening, and the master rushed in the moment the door opened, pinched Zhang Xuehai's mouth and sniffed it, checked his pulse again, and finally shook his head at the county order.

"Hopeless?"

The prefectural commander asked in shock.

The master said in a deep voice:

"It's been a long time since I've been dead. Indeed, he was poisoned."

Hearing the answer, the county commander's eyebrows were immediately enveloped in gloom, and the anger around his body rushed to his face.

He turned around and gave the guard a hard slap.

"Rubbish! That's what you do? I will condemn you and beat you with eighty striking."

The guard was caught off guard and stood with his face covered for a long time before he reacted.

"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives!"

He quickly knelt down and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

But the county commander was furious at the moment, and shouted:

"Give me eighty boards, and then remove him from his official position! It's night today

All the other jailers gave me thirty boards and three months' worth of money!"

With that, the attendant stepped forward and dragged the man out.

Looking at Zhang Xuehai's corpse, the county commander was angry and annoyed.

He naturally wished that Zhang Xuehai would die as soon as possible, but he couldn't die now!
