Chapter 254: Backhand (6)
The castle lord's mansion is divided into an inner courtyard and an outer courtyard. The inner courtyard was inhabited by the lord of the castle, as well as his wife. The outer courtyard is inhabited by guests, the area of the city lord's mansion is not small, and there are countless guards between the inner and outer courtyards, so Sang Ling didn't know anything about the poisoning of his wife just now.
After the incident, she went through everything with the maid Huaixi, and she understood that this pill must have been tampered with, which made her very strange:
"I dare to swear to God, the elixir I presented is absolutely non-toxic."
The maid Huaixi sighed secretly, to be honest, she didn't know the bottom of this matter. It's just that I didn't expect that the first thing Mrs. woke up was to keep the doctor Xiu Qingdai, thinking that this thing was definitely not her doing. And this matter feels strange from beginning to end, she has lived in the family since she was a child, and subconsciously feels that someone must be behind the scenes of this matter:
"No matter what, you have to clear your suspicion with your own hands now, otherwise according to the city lord's temperament, you won't see the sun rising in the city lord's mansion tomorrow."
Sang Ling listened, but smiled slightly, without half a panic, and said:
"As long as someone does it, it will definitely leave traces. Now that the soldiers are fast, I need you to find out with me and find out who is responsible. ”
The maid took Sang Ling to the lady's courtyard, but it was not in the house where the city lord was, but in the backyard.
As soon as he entered, there was a thick bloody breath, and there were countless people lying on the ground with blue noses and swollen faces, and blurred flesh and blood.
Sang Ling looked at the countless pairs of frightened and numb eyes, was slightly stunned, and paused in front of the hanging flower door.
Behind him, the cold and deep voice of the maid Huaixi came, like ice floating in a deep well:
"It's my hands that commanded me to do it, these were my companions, my sisters, and to this day, I can still be ruthless against them. They come once without saying anything, and twice without saying anything, until they vomit all the words in their stomachs, and I'm cruel, right? ”
Sang Lin shook his head, Ci is not in charge of the army, if she is still soft-hearted in this extraordinary period, it will only harm everyone, including her little medical life:
"I think you're doing a good job, at least the real killer is scared, and the key evidence for the first time must still be preserved."
The maid looked at her and smiled:
"The things are in the wing room next door, and all the utensils I used to serve the pill at that time are in it. If you need anyone else, you can tell me. ”
"Then I'll mention it." Sang Ling smiled back, her eyes were clear and full of kindness: "My assistant Ah Qian, he is still in the inn, I hope you can help me take him and the medicine box." ”
The maid frowned, but she thought that now that the lady had just woken up, the city lord would inevitably accompany her, and besides, the city lord's explanation just now was that she was optimistic about Qingdai, and she didn't mention anything else, but she could do it. She raised her head and nodded fiercely:
"Okay, I'll believe you for the time being, I have some of the subordinates brought by the Wu family in my hands to use, and then I'll go and order someone to bring your assistant. However, Qingdai, you have to make sure that you can find out the truth, otherwise it will be your sin in the future. ”
Sang Ling only nodded lightly, which was considered to be the answer.
The two hit it off and went their separate ways. The maid Huaixi left for a while, and she had already brought back four tall guards, although she was wearing the disciple uniform of the City Lord's Mansion, she was agile and low-key, wearing a black forehead, and she looked like an ordinary disciple.
Sang Ling secretly guessed that these should be people brought by Madame from the Wu family, a high-ranking family in Zezhou.
Ah Qian soon appeared at the door of the wing room with the medicine box, as soon as he saw Sang Ling's face, his eyes turned red first, and he opened his mouth to ask, Sang Ling immediately signaled him to shut up with his eyes, and quickly concluded:
"I know what you want to ask, but don't rush first, you help me check whether these devices are poisonous or not, this battle can be a matter of life and death, and you must pay attention to it."
Ah Qian was stunned, and nodded heavily after a moment.
"Okay, I'll listen to Miss!"
Soon, Ah Qian opened the medicine box, and took out all kinds of incomprehensible powders in the same way, as well as countless utensils for steaming and roasting.
He checked all the evidence left by Huaixi, and his brows were always furrowed. It's like a knot locked in the center of the eyebrows.
Sang Ling always stood quietly in the corner of the wing, looking up at the moon in the sky, and countless screams and inquiries sounded outside the wing, and the bloody breath under her nose became even stronger......
The night was deep, and when Huaixi came back with a heavy smell of blood that couldn't be hidden, Ah Qian also came to an end.
Sang Ling asked Huaixi first:
"How's that, is there any result outside?"
Huaixi glanced sideways at the countless strange and various utensils on the table in front of Ah Qian, and then shook his head and said dejectedly:
"No, the city lord's side locked up all the medical cultivators who have been exposed to the pill are also asking, and there is no result either."
Sang Ling spread her arms and said helplessly: "This person is really scheming, in order to frame me, he weaved a big net for me. ”
"You're just a little doctor, why are you trying so hard to deal with you, I think their target is still on Madame." Huaixi spoke without thinking.
Sang Ling is not so optimistic, Mrs. is weak, she can take away a little cold wind, why bother to use poison in all the troubles, this poison is not to see blood to seal the throat, medical cultivation can be unraveled, so their purpose is still on themselves.
But now that they have the identity of a medical practitioner who can be bullied by the inn junior, what else is worth their hard work?
No, it's not!
If this conspiracy could have been simple.
Sang Ling turned her head to look at Ah Qian, the other party looked defeated, she nestled in the chair, and she asked:
"These things are non-toxic?"
“…… Yes, it's small useless. Ah Qian's voice trembled like a candle in the wind.
Sang Ling smiled, like a brilliant spring flower, incompatible with the current decadent situation.
Huaixi only thought that today's stressful environment had driven this simple-minded medical practice crazy:
"If you can't find out who is calculating, it's fine, anyway, those medical cultivators have proved that the pill you presented is not poisonous."
Sang Ling stared at the terrible scene outside the door that splashed all over the courtyard, her facial features oozed cold air like ice, and she said in a low voice:
"Bring everyone in the room where the accident happened."
"Huh?" Huaixi was stunned.
Sang Ling turned her head to look at her, her eyes solemn:
"Don't let them out of your sight, come up completely, the murderer is among them, I believe that by now, they will not have a chance to throw away the poison, as long as the thing is there, we can catch the murderer."
Huaixi was stunned, and then turned his head down.
The person soon arrived, it was the personal maid who had appeared in the house at that time when the lady of service was resting, there were three of them, and the girls were all of the age of flowers and bones, and they had already been beaten and bruised all over their bodies, and they were shrunk tremblingly, looking frightened and uneasy.
After Huaixi brought the person, he only said one sentence from beginning to end:
"They are specially sent by the city lord to serve the lady, not counting the Wu family, you need to check the details yourself. They are all from poor families, and Mrs. pity allows them to serve closely, if the murderer is really among them, it is really a group of white-eyed wolves. ”
Sang Ling sighed slightly, maybe after tonight, whether other people are murderers or not, these people are outcasts, and Huaixi doesn't plan to stay.
However, Sang Ling, who was still hanging from his head, didn't have time to sympathize and comfort, only picked up a chair and sat in front of the three of them, and asked the first sentence:
"Whoever is the first to tell the key clues, I will release whoever is at the end, whoever falls last, is the murderer, and it will be handed over to the city lord for disposal."
The eyes of the personal maids shrank suddenly, and before they could meet their eyes, four big men stood beside them, blocking their gaze at once. Moreover, the coercion on those men came, and it was like a mountain that was heavy, and my heart was suddenly flustered.
All kinds of news were spit out by the maids, for fear that if they were a little slower, they would become the last murderer.
Sang Ling quickly figured out the details of these maids, some of the old sons and daughters in the family like to gamble and favor men; There are those who love money and beauty and will steal things from the house; There are also intentions for the lord of the city; There are only three people in this room, and all of them are good shows.
Sang Ling looked at the first maid and heard that her family was average, and her parents also gambled to suck blood. The other maids all accused themselves of losing something, and this maid did it.
Sang Ling's eyes stared at her deeply:
"You poisoned it?"
"Never!" The maid immediately retorted, her voice sharpened from her overexcitement. "My father and mother were gambling and my family was poor, but I didn't have any contact with them anymore. Why should you blame me for what you lost, and if my wife is poisoned, I will not be a murderer! ”
Her eyes trembled with excessive fear, but they were clear and clear, and she was never empty.
Sang Ling smiled faintly and ruled out the first one for the time being. Then he turned to look at the second maid. The maid's parents were partial to sons over daughters, and once wanted to exchange their daughters for a bride price and let her brother marry.
The maid was delicate, but her hands were rough, with many old marks, and it was obvious that they had been rubbed.
She didn't say a word of defense, she opened her arms and bowed, and with a thud she bowed in the direction of Madame's room, and then she kowtowed three times in succession, and when she raised it, her forehead was already bruised and bloody.
"It's my fault for not protecting my wife, if I let me know who the murderer is, I will kill him with my own hands without you doing it."
Concise and to the point, Sang Ling silently ruled out the second one.
Now, there is only one last lone seedling in the house, and it is also the one that seems to be the softest and kindest. She is the only seedling left by the old slave who once died for her wife, so she stayed with her for the longest time.
Huaixi had already asked once, and she also had the answer to this maid, and seeing that things were now at an impasse, she decided to look for other clues. Sang Ling left Ah Qian to her:
"Ah Qian's medical skills are good, and his nose is also smart, you take him to the hospital first. If there is a clue, notify me in time, and I will continue here. ”
"Good...... You, take care. Huaixi dropped a sentence, turned around and left.
Sang Ling caught the redness of the other party's eyes, and sighed slightly, this net is really unbreakable, and they haven't found any clues so far. The big knife hanging over his head felt like it was almost up to his neck at this time, and every move was a cool breeze.
She watched Huaixi and Ah Qian leave, watched their figures slowly disappear into the dark night, and then retracted, and suddenly as far as her eyes could see, a faint fluorescence flashed in front of her eyes, which was extremely dazzling.
What is this hidden in the sleeve?
