The maid only said this inner monologue from beginning to end, and then she looked at the city lord, her eyes were first expectant and then pitiful, and in the end, only extremely sad and desperate remained, and when the other party did not care about this good memory of herself, she had clearly understood that she had been just a one-man show for a long time.

Then, word by word, she slowly opened her mouth and said:

"Yes, I did it all. I ground the oleander into powder and put it on my handkerchief, wrapped the pill with the powder, and put it into my wife's mouth with my own hands. Three oleanders, a whole jar of the amount, but I shook the powder-stained embroidery handkerchief again and again, so that the powder content was almost not much, but I didn't expect to make my wife sick. Madame is because of my poison, and all the reason is my wishful thinking, because a bracelet has a daydream, and now that it is almost dawn, it is time for me to wake up from my dream. ”

As she spoke, she took one last look at the face of the city lord with deep eyes, turned to the direction of the lady's room, and knocked her head three times with a "bang", so dull that it was like a drum smashing down in one breath, and it was overwhelming.

Sang Ling sighed slightly, this maid liked the news of the city lord, or the second maid of the interrogation told her, she only said that she was going to tell a secret, a little unsure of the truth or falsehood, and only said it to Sang Ling alone, Sang Ling applied a soundproof cover, to ensure that the rest of the interrogating maids did not know this secret.

Therefore, this maid who had a crush on the city lord didn't know from beginning to end that she was actually exposed in the eyes of her companions. In fact, many things are left by geese, and it is impossible to be traceless.

The next step was to pry open the maid's mouth and tell her who had instigated the conspiracy.

Sang Ling opened his mouth and said:

"I believe that this incident is by no means accidental, there must be someone behind it, don't worry, as long as you say it...... No! Stop her! ”

The tone at the end of the words was almost distorted, and the nearest Wu family guard next to him raised his hand to knock the maid unconscious to the ground, not wanting the maid to be faster, she gritted her teeth, swallowed all the poison between her teeth into her mouth, and finally lost her breath in an instant.

Everything happened in an instant, and the real culprit had already fallen to the ground.

There was a deathly silence in the room.

Lu Chaoyan was the first to speak, but he sighed heavily:

"It's a pity that I've been busy for half the night, and this is the result."

Sang Ling didn't know what the other party meant, her eyes looked cold, with an irrepressible murderous aura:

"Even if you die, you can find out the real culprit!"

"Oh, really?" Lu Chaoyan raised his eyebrows, not half concerned: "Do you want three days and five days, or half a year?" Medical Xiu Qingdai, I can remind you that the suspicion on your body has not been cleared. ”

"What do you mean!"

Ah Qian couldn't help but speak, there were too many things happening tonight, and it made him lose his cool after all.

Lu Chaoyan smiled slightly, only turned his head to the city lord and smiled:

"I see, the beginning of all this is because of Qing Dai's medicine, and everything about Mrs. was originally traceable, but not as sudden as today. It's better to stop this medicine of unknown origin, otherwise it may be impossible to make a fuss. ”

The physician also hurriedly stepped forward to salute and admonished:

"Yes, City Lord, our Doctor's Hall was all fine before, and Madame has never been ill since she came to the City Lord's Mansion. He paused, turned his head to look at Sang Ling's eyes full of vigilant malpractice: "After this disaster, it will be more than a month for Madam to be able to get up."...... ”

"Enough!"

The city lord flipped over the tea cup in his hand, and the tea splashed on the ground, full of residue and fragments.

Everyone was shocked and immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"The city lord is angry!"

The city lord clenched his fists tightly, his head hung down and suppressed, and he couldn't see any expression in the shadow of the candlelight, only the increasingly heavy wheezing sound could be heard.

It was clear to the crowd that he was furious.

After a long time, the city lord slowly raised his head and looked at Sang Ling's position, his eyes unpredictable.

Sang Ling did not continue to state the truth to defend herself, despite the maid's purpose, whether there were other people behind it, etc. At this time, she suddenly didn't know why, when she saw the corner of the city lord's scarlet eyes under the lights of this house, she suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart.

The city lord sat in his chair, as if he was extremely tired, and only raised his hand to pinch the fold between his eyebrows, and again and again, the piece of meat was soon kneaded purple-red. The sound was like a copper kettle pressed against the coals of fire, and the lid would cover the boiling pot with a reluctant calmness.

"Yixiu Qingdai, you are a guest invited by Madame, I will not kill you."

Sang Ling was not half surprised, and Ah Qian next to her was already relieved.

Lu Chaoyan's eyes moved, and he slowly looked in the direction of Sang Ling, with a hint of coldness:

"City Lord, just in case, I also have an explanation for this matter, let the doctor go, leave the City Lord's Mansion, and let the people who want to do it to Mrs. have no cracks to drill."

Sang Ling's gaze was still indifferent, and her heart was already sinking. Sure enough, I saw the city lord wave his hand and say the next sentence.

"Then listen to Fairy Lu and drive her away."

Ah Qian reacted with a stirring spirit, and wanted to open his mouth to plead. Sang Ling grabbed him, calmed Huaixi who looked worried on the other side with her eyes, and only replied lightly:

"City Lord, Madame has woken up, I want to go and say goodbye again before leaving."

"She's asleep again, you go." The lord of the city had already gotten up and strode away.

There was a lot of people in the house, but there were still two city lord guards standing at the door who were staring at Sang Ling coldly, obviously preparing to drive people away.

Lu Chaoyan fell at the end, but he didn't leave in a hurry, but he walked towards Sang Ling, raised his hand around his lips, and said lightly:

"It's said that you should remember to look at the road when walking, and now if you take the wrong road, won't you want to die like a lost dog?"

Sang Ling lowered her head and sneered, then raised her head and stared straight into her eyes:

"Fairy Lu, the skill of stabbing the knife in the back is really powerful, I'm curious, what are you doing everything you can to drive me away?"

Lu Chaoyan's expression froze, and then quickly returned to normal. She lowered her sleeves, smiled but didn't speak, and walked away slowly. When he crossed the threshold, he looked sideways at Sang Ling, and his eyes hated being high, as if he was looking at the mud on the ground:

"Goodbye, oh, I hope I never see you again."

With a smile on her face, she turned to leave.

These words seem to be simply expressing his dislike for Sang Ling, so he will take a lot of trouble to calculate her.

But Sang Ling didn't believe a word, Lu Chaoyan outside the door had already left, his figure was wanton, as noble and beautiful as ever, but the more he emphasized his identity, the more he seemed to be afraid of something.

Sang Ling thought of being in Shenjia Village before, and now, and a layer of doubt slowly spread in her heart, why did the Heavenly Dao Sect keep going around in Zhongzhou?

……

Although the real murderer was found, Sang Ling was mercilessly swept out of the city lord's mansion, the small door of the city lord's mansion snapped behind him and closed vigorously, and Ah Qian was a little hesitant holding the medicine box:

"Miss, what shall we do now? It's not dawn yet, and the inn hasn't opened yet. ”

The moonlight overhead had long since disappeared, leaving only large dark clouds overhead, and the night was darkened.

Sang Ling glanced around, except for the lantern hanging at the back door, casting a circle of light on the ground, and the rest was black with no fingers in sight.

"The darkness before dawn is really dark."

The guard guarding the back door snorted heavily, and motioned with his eyes to leave quickly.

Ah Qian glared back fiercely:

"Dogs look at people's low things, when you invited us to come over before, your waist was lower than anyone else's, and now you can't wait to step on our heads! Let's go through the back door, why didn't you say it before! ”

Even if Ah Qian usually acts a little old-fashioned, he is still a child's heart, and now as soon as he has an outbreak, he will scold endlessly.

But the guards at the door were not the shopkeepers of the inn before, and they immediately drew their swords.

"Shut up!"

Ah Qian was not afraid of this, and wanted to continue with her neck in her hands, but Sang Ling stopped, her eyes looked deeply into the night in front of her, and suddenly raised her voice:

"Please report to the guard, I want to find Miss Huaixi."

The guards at the door are the two sent by the city lord to drive people before, their duty is to drive Sang Ling out of the house, but they are not to pass the word, they suddenly had a cold face, ready to refuse, and suddenly two small sachets were stuffed in front of them, they subconsciously put them into their arms, and then the aura probed, and the next second changed their faces, and nodded with a smile:

"Wait, we'll send you a message, but this mansion?"

"I'm not going to step in again, thank you both." Sang Ling pushed Ah Qian a little again, and deliberately taught a lesson:

"This kid is not very old, but he has a monkey temper, and he jumps at every turn, and he was offended just now."

The guards laughed a little more genuinely:

"Children, small things, small things."

Soon, the footsteps had disappeared behind the door, Ah Qian glanced at it on tiptoe, turned his head and smiled:

"Miss gave me a look just now, I thought it was wrong, but I didn't expect it to be the same as the one in front of the inn before, so I made a stupid boy and deliberately provoked trouble and quarreled."

Sang Ling was not half relaxed, and took out a lot of self-defense spirit treasures from the storage bag and stuffed them into Ah Qian's hands:

"It's just a temporary bluff to bluff this person in the dark, you take these, this thing can be activated without aura, as long as you crush or smash it on the ground, it will attack. After Huaixi comes out later, you say that I have left beforehand, and let her take care of you until dawn. If he refuses, you just need to stay at the back door of this city lord's mansion and not leave here. ”

Ah Qian's eyes were full of puzzlement, and he raised his hand to push away these stuffed spiritual treasures:

"Miss, is something happening? I don't need any of these, you can use them for self-defense. No, I'll still follow you, Miss, even if there is really a catastrophe of killing, I can take it on top. ”

Sang Ling increased the strength in her hand, stuffed everything into Ah Qian's hand, and only smiled faintly and comforted:

"What those masters have done with these is a burden. Their goal is mine, I'm not, and you're safe. Keep this life, you know? ”

She patted Qian on the shoulder, then turned and slipped into the night.

Ah Qian wanted to cry without tears, holding a hand full of spiritual treasures and didn't know what to do. Suddenly, the door behind him opened, and Huaixi's surprised voice came:

"Ah Qian? What about your lady? ”

Ah Qian turned his head, his face full of tears:

"Miss, Miss, she's in danger!"

Sang Ling hurriedly walked in the streets, the lively streets and alleys full of people during the day were now empty, there was no candle at all, and it was quiet and dark like a ghost.

Walking to the Yunshui River, Sang Ling stepped on the bamboo bridge and walked into another street, the street was still empty, and even the inn that she saw from afar was closed with doors and windows, and there was no voice.

"Kiln, kiln—kiln."

There was a round object, blown from far and near, and Sang Ling bent down to pick it up and patted the dust.

"It turned out to be a paper lantern......"

The lantern made of thin bamboo strips was covered with a thin layer of rice paper by rice milk, and when I turned over, I saw that there was a big word written on it, which made people's hearts feel cold.

Just as she was about to throw it away, there was a faint humming sound in the air through the thin night.

Sang Ling was stunned, and a premonition of crisis stabbed at her back like a sword in the midst of the lightning and stone fire, suddenly pinching her nerves.

Without much thought, she stooped backwards as the lantern was held up in front of her.

"Poof—"

"Crackle!"

In the next second, a long sword with cold light was stabbed in front of him, and the long sword stabbed directly into the lantern, which was blocked for a moment, and the person who came snorted lightly, and suddenly sneered disdainfully, and the sword turned around, and the lantern exploded in response, and countless confetti and bamboo strips splashed.

Suddenly, the tip of the sword slashed downwards and slashed towards the cheek, and the cold and sharp edge of the sword stabbed slightly on the forehead, and then the pain intensified.
