By the time he caught up with the secret guard, Xi Jian was already tired and out of breath.

"Give me the letter, and you will be responsible for keeping by the county lord's side and protecting her."

The dark guard glanced at Xi Jian with the eyes of a fool, and then handed the letter to Xi Jian, and the whole person disappeared into the night.

At the same time, Jing Ci was standing on the high platform of Yiyan Hall, and there were many white-clothed subordinates standing under the stage, and some people were tied up and kneeling on the ground.

One of them, a white-haired woman, kept struggling, "Lord, I didn't make a mistake, why did you arrest me?"

"Didn't make a mistake?" Jing Xi sneered and threw the information he had inquired in front of the woman, "Xiao Xue, you are an old man in Yiyantang, don't you know that there is no impermeable wall in the world?"

Xiao Xue's complexion instantly changed like her hair, and she was very pale under the flickering candlelight.

Jing Ci looked at the kneeling people in the audience, his face was cold and hard, "Most of your skills are taught by me personally, this trick, you dare to get an axe in front of me?"

Someone was forced by Jing Xi's coercion and couldn't help but beg for mercy, "I was wrong, the Lord I was wrong!"

Jing Ci turned around, raised his hand and ordered, "Suppress these people and hand them over to the Criminal Division to deal with."

"No, it's me who has done something wrong, please give me another chance."

"It was the Son of the World who threatened me with my family, and I had to betray it, so please be merciful to the Lord."

"I was wrong, I don't dare anymore, Lord forgive me!"

Many people begged for mercy, and no one knew better than them what the Criminal Division was.

Most of the bones on their bodies are very hard, but despite this, no one in the Criminal Division can not beg for mercy, and many people who have made mistakes have changed their temperament greatly after going to the Criminal Division.

Jing Xi ignored their pleas, "Since you have made a mistake, you must bear the consequences of your mistake."

"And the one who said that his family was threatened, you can report this matter to me, and I will naturally have someone save your family, which is not a reason for you to betray Yiyantang."

The man's face was as dead as ashes, and he was dragged down.

Yancheng, the city lord's mansion.

Wan Yaoyao was in prison, taking advantage of the darkness and the jailer to relax when he pulled out the hairpin and unlocked the door of the cell.

She followed her master to study in the mountains, but she didn't learn it in vain, and she couldn't say that she was proficient in all kinds of Qimen gossip, but she also understood something.

Wan Yaoyao escaped from the cell, returned to the place where Taojuan and Zhuqing cultivated poisonous Gu, and quietly stole a few Gu seeds that had not yet been cultivated.

She carefully ran to the inn where she was staying with the Gu seed, and as soon as she ran to the street, something strange came from her hand.

The Gu seed was hatched into a Gu worm that was gnawing at Wan Yaoyao's palm, and in the blink of an eye, Wan Yaoyao's palm was gnawed off by the Gu worm.

She let out a painful cry, and as soon as her hand loosened, the Gu worm fell to the ground.

Smelling the smell of blood in the palms of Wan Yaoyao's hands, Gu worms flew towards Wan Yaoyao, they followed Wan Yaoyao's neckline, burrowed into Wan Yaoyao's clothes, and kept gnawing on Wan Yaoyao's skin.

"Ah!!h Wan Yaoyao's face was distorted in pain, and she hurriedly pulled her clothes, but it was useless.

The Gu worm bit Wan Yaoyao's skin and gnawed it little by little.

Wan Yaoyao was lying on the ground rolling in pain, blood gradually seeping out of her clothes, red and gorgeous, and it looked very dazzling on her white clothes.

A woman passed by, saw Wan Yaoyao like this, squatted down worriedly, and patted her.

"What's wrong with you, girl?"

A special fragrance entered Wan Yaoyao's nose, and the Gu worms on her body strangely settled down.

Wan Yaoyao's mind was withdrawn from the pain, and she looked at the purse around the woman's waist and remembered the words she had heard in her cell.

The jailer once said that Shen Ling had researched spices that could make Gu worms avoid, and gave Song Qinyu the recipe, so that Song Qinyu could make spices and distribute them to the people.

Just like a person thirsty for water encounters a water source, Wan Yaoyao's eyes now only have the lotus

bag, she reached out and pulled the purse off the woman's waist, pushed the woman away, got up and ran.

The woman was pushed and fell to the ground, and when she got up, Wan Yaoyao had already run away with her purse, looking at the empty waist, the woman called it unlucky.

The poisonous Gu was still on Wan Yaoyao's body, they longed for the blood on Wan Yaoyao's body, but they were afraid of the fragrance, so they fell into a stalemate directly, and they didn't dare to move at all.

Back in the room, Wan Yaoyao slammed the door shut, she took off her clothes, took off the poisonous Gu on her body in pain, and put it in the tea bowl.

Looking at the dented skin on her body that was gnawed by Gu worms, and her skin was bleeding, Wan Yaoyao couldn't wait to dismantle Shen Ling into eight pieces.

After dealing with the wounds on her body, Wan Yaoyao had the leisure to study these Gu worms.

She used the snatched purse as a test, and found that it was very safe to take the purse close to the Gu worm, and when the Gu worm was far away, she began to be restless, shaking her wings twice from time to time, wanting to fly away from the tea bowl.

"It's amazing." As she spoke, Wan Yaoyao was very jealous of Shen Ling's talent in her heart, "I have studied hard in the mountains for so many years, but I have not been able to learn anything like this."

Looking at the Gu worm in the tea bowl, Wan Yaoyao sneered, took out the delicate mechanism brought out from the master and placed it on the Gu worm's body.

As long as these Gu insects are mixed into the insect swarm, when Shen Ling deals with the locust plague, she is letting the Gu insects get out of control, so how can Shen Ling explain to the people!

Thinking of this, Wan Yaoyao was in a better mood, and went out with the Gu worms again, and put the Gu worms into the worm box where Zhuqing and Taojuan cultivated Gu worms.

The light of the moon gradually dimmed, the sun gradually rose, and the bright daylight pierced the mist overnight and sprinkled on the land full of life.

Shen Ling got up and went downstairs to eat, and it didn't take long for Song Qinyu's voice to sound in Shen Ling's ears.

"Did the county lord sleep well last night?"

Originally, Shen Ling was drinking porridge, but she was startled by Song Qinyu's voice and choked, she coughed again and again, Song Qinyu saw this and hurriedly took out a handkerchief and handed it over.

But Shen Ling didn't answer, Song Qinyu's eyes were slightly dark, but he didn't say much.

I saw Shen Ling take out her handkerchief, wipe the corners of her mouth, and slow down for a long time before she stopped coughing.

Song Qinyu blamed herself a little, "Blame me for disturbing the county lord's meal."

Shen Ling waved his hand and just asked, "Why is the prince here?"

"I heard that the food here is good, and this king is tired of eating the dishes of the City Lord's Mansion, so he came to take a look." As he spoke, the tips of Song Qinyu's ears flushed red.

Seeing him like this, Shen Ling felt a headache, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Shen Ling put down the porridge bowl.

"I'm full, I'll go to the field first, and you can stay here for breakfast, lord."

When the words fell, Shen Ling hurriedly checked out and left.
