Ye Yuanzhou listened to Du Ruo's words, and his expression was also full of doubts.

Poisoning is not unusual, but what is strange is what kind of poison can make people move without hindrance, and their strength is not reduced in the slightest, but it can change their temperament greatly?

This doubt can't even be explained by Du Ruo, a person who is quite familiar with medicine and pharmacy, and Ye Yuanzhou is even more confused.

No matter what, this Bai Chang couldn't just unload his arms and step on the ground, Ye Yuanzhou beckoned to those soldiers, dragged Bai Chang to the firewood room of his house, locked him with iron chains, and took care of him, and then he could take care of Wu Chang, who was already about to be scared to death.

"What the hell is going on? You said that it was this Bai Chang who arranged for you to go to Pingcheng County to report to us? Ye Yuanzhou asked Wu Chang, afraid that there was something wrong here.

Wu Chang was almost about to cry: "My lord, he really asked me to go, otherwise I would be a little Wu Chang, even if I ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, I wouldn't dare to make such a self-assertion under the nose of the school captain!"

I don't know why, why did Bai Chang turn his face and deny his account, and kill me with a cane......

Adults, adults! I have elderly parents at the head of my family, and I have a wife and children, and they are all counting on me! You must call the shots for the villain! ”

"You don't have to worry, since we are here, we will definitely get to the bottom of this matter, and we will not let any innocent person be implicated in vain." Du Ruo comforted him, "Didn't Captain Ye just help you break the siege and protect your thoughtfulness!"

You go home first, try not to go out these days, except for us, and if others call you to go to the army, don't go, just take a sick and rest. ”

Wu Chang nodded again and again, hurriedly agreed, and left tremblingly.

After sending off Wu Chang, Ye Yuanzhou and Du Ruo went to Bai Chang's family together, wanting to ask what was going on.

The courtyard of Bai Chang's house is still more spacious than ordinary people, but his wife and daughter, as well as his elderly mother, are all in a small room in the backyard, and the two women and a pair of immature children are cowering and hiding in the house.

Ye Yuanzhou didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so big, he was taken aback, and turned his head to look at Du Ruo.

Du Ruo motioned for him to get out of the way, went over and knocked lightly on the door, and said softly: "It's the lady of the Baichang family in the house?" I'm the newly appointed Songzhou Sima, I wonder if the lady can open the door to talk to us? ”

There was silence in the room, and if it weren't for a small cry, there would have been shadowy figures in the crack in the door, and the people outside would have thought that there was no one in the room.

However, Du Ruo was very patient and did not continue to knock on the door, and waited quietly at the door after reporting his home.

Ye Yuanzhou is a military general, and his hand strength is naturally much greater than that of ordinary people, and he didn't bother to spend any effort when he knocked on the door, but he still shook the door panel a little.

Du Ruo estimated that the women and children in this house had probably experienced some kind of fierce slamming threats before, so they were suddenly frightened because of Ye Yuanzhou's knock on the door.

In this case, the more anxious I am, the more afraid the people inside are, so it is better to be patient, so that the people inside feel that the situation outside is different from before, and maybe they will dare to come out.

Thinking of this, she decided to gamble again, approached the door panel, and said inside: "Bai Chang has lost his mind, he has been taken down by Ye Duwei and locked in the firewood room, there is no danger of his life, but he can't get out, you don't need to worry." ”

After she had said this, there began to be a stirring in the hut, and the crack in the door darkened, and a woman's voice trembled from within: "You...... Are you telling the truth? ”

"That's natural, I'm not lying to you." Du Ruo had some bottom in his heart, and knew that he had made the right bet.

After receiving her reply, there was the sound of moving a heavy object in the door, and after a few moments, the wooden door, which did not look very strong, finally opened a crack, and a woman with a pale face and disheveled hair peeked out of the crack in the door, and a pair of frightened eyes looked at the people outside the door.

When she found that although Du Ruo was wearing men's clothes, she could see at a glance that she was a delicate woman, and she seemed to be relieved.

Du Ruo sensed the other party's reaction, and waved his hand slightly behind him.

Ye Yuanzhou, who was originally standing behind her, received the signal, understood, and silently stepped back a little, not blocking the door of the house.

The woman saw that there was a tall man in the courtyard besides her, but he was standing far away, so she also mustered up the courage and walked out of the house carefully.

She first blessed Du Ruofu: "We have long heard that there is a female Sima from Songzhou, who is in the poor countryside of this Wuzhen, and I didn't expect to see an adult here!"

Woman Cai, thank you for helping us out! ”

"You're Bai Chang's wife, right?" Du Ruo looked at the room behind her, "Who is in the room?" ”

"It's my mother-in-law, and I have two children." Bai Chang Niangzi shrank and replied, "The night before yesterday, my husband was called by the school captain, and after he came back, he seemed to have fallen into evil and changed into a person, not to mention how scary.

I just asked him a few more questions, and he was about to beat me to death with a stick, but my mother-in-law stopped him, and he pushed her away, and even the two children were so frightened that he cried out and threw them into the well and drowned.

We were all so frightened that we hurriedly took the child and hid here, blocked the door with a table and chairs, and he slammed the door outside the door and yelled, and then left, and never came to harass us again, and we did not dare to step out of the door. ”

Du Ruo frowned, feeling that this thing sounded a little weird.

"Your husband was called by the captain? How long has it been gone? She asked the lady of the Bai Chang family.

Bai Chang's lady thought for a while: "I was called in the morning just after breakfast, and I didn't come back until the night, and I worked all day." ”

"He came back alone? But who was with him? ”

"Not really, but today when we listened in the house, he seemed to have called many people, but we hid inside, and we couldn't tell who they were, and what they were going to do in my house."

Du Ruo nodded when she heard this, but she thought of what the lady said: "You guys haven't come out since you hid in the night before yesterday?" ”

Bai Chang's lady nodded.

"Don't worry, it's okay now, you quickly bring the old man and the child out, I will ask someone to cook some porridge for you, you eat something, otherwise you are old and young, I am afraid you will not be able to eat after being hungry for so long." Du Ruo hurriedly signaled to her.
