"White vinegar?"

Yuzhu took the half bowl of white porridge in the little girl's hand and sniffed it carefully, and said, "It seems to have a sour smell." With that, I took another shallow taste.

"Phew, phew!" Unexpectedly, as soon as she tasted the taste, Yuzhu frowned and spit out the porridge in her mouth.

"Why is it so bad!"

Seeing this, Ling Xue also took the bowl, took a small sip, and immediately spit it out.

Yuzhu said: "County Lord, why does this porridge taste so strange?" It's sour, it's astringent, it's hard to swallow! ”

Ling Xue looked at the white porridge in the bowl and frowned, "This rice has been soaked in white vinegar. ”

"Why do you soak good rice in white vinegar?"

Ling Xue looked up at Xu Ruoyao, who was making porridge in the crowd, and said coldly: "Only moldy rice will be soaked in white vinegar!" ”

At this time, Ling Xue finally understood why there was a sickly aura on the faces of these refugees, and even dark spots appeared under the eyelids of the refugees in serious cases, which was a symptom of too much toxin accumulation in the body.

If they eat this poisoned rice again, these refugees will die sooner or later!

"Moldy rice?" Yuzhu was shocked: "Then you can't eat someone to death!" ”

"If you eat it again, you'll die!" Ling Xue raised the bowl and poured all the porridge in the bowl on the ground.

The little girl snatched the bowl back in time, firmly protected it in her arms, and looked at Ling Xue with a very vigilant and defensive look.

Seeing that dark spots gradually appeared under the little girl's eyelids, Ling Xue patiently explained: "This bowl of porridge has been broken, and it can't be drunk anymore, and if you drink it again, you will die." ”

Yuzhu also said: "Little sister, be obedient, throw away the porridge, don't drink it anymore." ”

Instead of listening, the little girl tightened the bowl in her hand and stepped back.

"This porridge can be drunk, I want to leave it for my mother to drink."

Ling Xue squatted down and said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, I won't let your mother go hungry, but this porridge is poisonous, if you drink it again, you and your mother will die." ”

The little girl didn't listen, she pushed Ling Xue away, and said, "You are all bad people." So saying, he ran into the bamboo hut with his footsteps, and pressed his stick against the door to prevent them from entering.

Yuzhu said angrily: "Why can't this little girl listen to the persuasion? said that drinking that porridge would kill people again, why did she still drink it! ”

Ling Xue said: "In the face of hunger, even the bark of the tree, they will eat it willingly!" ”

"Huh? How do you eat tree bark? ”

Ling Xue stopped talking, strode towards the crowd, and came straight to Xu Ruoyao.

As soon as Xu Ruoyao saw someone coming, she made a movement in her hand and said defensively: "What are you doing here?" ”

Ling Xue said coldly: "You make porridge with moldy rice for the people, aren't you afraid of drinking the dead?" ”

"What about the relief food of the imperial court? Why don't you take it out? ”

Xu Ruoyao was slightly stunned when she heard this, and immediately retorted: "Who told you that this is moldy rice?" Can moldy rice make such white rice porridge? You don't spew blood in this mouth! ”

Ling Xue sneered: "If you soak the moldy rice in white vinegar, you can naturally make white porridge, but do you know that the moldy rice is poisonous, and the toxicity has slowly soaked into the people's bodies!" If you keep eating, you'll die! ”

Xu Ruoyao's hand holding the spoon trembled obviously: "You don't talk nonsense here!" I think you're just trying to find fault! You just don't want to feed this crowd! "Xiu Net

Ling Xue pointed to the white porridge in the pot, turned to the refugees and said, "There is something wrong with this white porridge, you can't drink it anymore." ”

But where are the refugees willing to listen to persuasion, they are already hungry, just waiting for this bowl of white porridge to save their lives.

So, they all ignored Ling Xue's advice, and rushed to grab the porridge and drink it one by one.

Seeing this, Xu Ruoyao laughed and sneered: "See? Few people will believe your words! ”

Ling Xue also knew that she couldn't stop it, they were already hungry and faint!

But if they drink this porridge any more, they will surely die...... Maybe, it will also implicate my brother and Nie Junheng!

Thinking of this, Ling Xue did not hesitate at all, turned around and kicked over the wooden barrel containing the white porridge.

All the white porridge inside was sprinkled on the ground.

Xu Ruoyao scolded angrily: "Ye Lingxue! You're crazy, aren't you? ”

Ling Xue said: "I think you're crazy!" He actually swallowed the relief grain and poisoned the people with moldy rice! ”

Xu Ruoyao said: "I didn't!" What evidence do you have that this is moldy rice? Aren't they living well? On what basis do you say that I poison them? ”

"Night Snow! I think you just can't get along with me! ”

After the words fell, Xu Ruoyao said to the refugees who were watching: "Everyone has seen it, right? This woman deliberately knocked over the white porridge, just because she didn't want you to fill your stomach! Today she knocked over the white porridge, and you won't have anything to eat! Wait for tomorrow! ”

As soon as these words came out, the refugees immediately became agitated.

They are hungry and waiting for this meal, and if they don't have food today, they may not be able to survive until tomorrow.

Among them, an old woman who was more than half a hundred years old stepped forward with a bowl, bent down and said to Xu Ruoyao with an extremely humble attitude: "Miss Xu, my grandson is still waiting to drink porridge, can you give a little more?" ”

Xu Ruoyao said in a cold tone: "It's gone, it's gone!" Only one bowl is served a day, and there is no more! ”

The old woman's hand holding the bowl trembled slightly: "Then what should my grandson do?" He's only three years old......"

"What does it have to do with me? I didn't knock over this porridge! At this time, Xu Ruoyao is no longer pretending, she doesn't want to come to this dirty place to give porridge again! Now that Ling Xue wants to intervene, why don't she push the boat down the river and take all the responsibility on her! Xiu Net

In this way, she not only has a good reputation, but also can take a bad breath for herself!

The old woman had no choice but to crouch down tremblingly, trying to scoop out a little rice soup from the poured barrel.

Seeing this, the refugees frantically knocked on the dishes and chopsticks in their hands, surrounded Ling Xuetuan, and shouted in their mouths: "We want to drink porridge, we want to drink porridge!" ”

Looking at the fierce light flashing in the refugee's eyes, Xu Ruoyao suddenly had a vicious idea in her heart.

She knows that people can do anything when they are hungry to the extreme!

Xu Ruoyao hooked her lips and said in a flat tone: "In short, today's grain has been spilled, and those who haven't drunk the porridge yet can only be regarded as unlucky!" ”

After the words fell, she pointed at Ling Xue and continued: "Anyway, I didn't knock over this porridge, you have to settle the account and find her to settle it!" Today, this porridge is gone! After saying that, let the officers and soldiers pack up their things and prepare to leave.

Ling Xue knew that Xu Ruoyao wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone.

She said to the refugees in a calm tone: "Don't worry, since I have knocked over this porridge today, I will make a new pot for you!" I promise you won't go hungry again! ”

"I will also cure the poison in your body......"

But where can the refugees listen, they have long been hungry and have lost their minds.

Their eyes lit up with a fierce light, and they approached Ling Xue step by step, their eyes like a hungry beast staring at their food.

Seeing this, Yuzhu hurriedly protected Ling Xue behind her, and said to the approaching refugees, "Why can't you understand the words? This porridge is poisonous, and if you drink it, you will die! ”

In the crowd, a man in ragged clothes said, "It is better to die of poison than to starve!" We can't eat, and you don't want to leave! ”

Yuzhu said: "You are bold! What do you want to do? ”

"Do what?" The man's eyes showed a look of madness, and he said viciously: "We're going to stew you and fill your stomach......"

Yuzhu was so frightened that she took a few steps back, looked at Ling Xue with a frightened face, and said, "County Lord, they ...... They seem to be crazy......"

As he spoke, the man stepped forward and pulled Ling Xue.

Ling Xue instinctively stepped back, not wanting to suddenly hit a wall of flesh, and then, her waist was wrapped into her arms by an arm.

Before she could react, another big hand grabbed the man's outstretched dirty hand in time.

"Who gave you the guts to dare to touch her!"

Ling Xue's heart moved, even if she didn't look back, she knew who was standing behind her and protecting her in her arms.

At this moment, Ling Xue no longer felt scared, but felt very steady.

Because she knew that as long as he was there, others would not be able to hurt her.

The man tried to struggle, but the hand that grabbed his wrist was like an iron tong, indestructible.

Then the pincers tightened and tightened, and finally broke his wrist alive.

The man was in pain, and there was a ghost crying wolf, and before he could open his mouth to beg for mercy, he was kicked far away.

The moment he landed, he only felt that the bones all over his body were broken, and his internal organs were also displaced, and finally he didn't even have the strength to get up, but just struggled a few times and lay on the ground without moving.

Although the refugees are hungry to the extreme, they are also afraid of death.

Seeing the man's tragic death, who would dare to move that evil thought.

This trick was obviously very effective, and the originally restless refugees immediately settled down, and they all stood in place and did not dare to move, only looking at the man in front of them with awe.

Ling Xue turned to look at Nie Junheng, at this time he was like a god, exuding coercion all over his body, unconsciously intimidating.

Feeling Ling Xue's gaze at him, Nie Junheng's frowning brows slowly stretched, and when he lowered his eyes to look at her, his cold eyes instantly became kind and watery.

"Sister, why did you come here?"

Ling Xue didn't care about explaining, and said to a long story short: "This porridge is poisonous and can't be drunk." ”

Seeing this, Xu Ruoyao's face became very ugly.

Didn't Nie Junheng lead his troops to suppress bandits to chase down disaster relief food? Why did you come back so soon?

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Ruoyao wanted to turn around and leave, but a long sword suddenly stopped in front of her, forcing her to stand still, and she didn't dare to move for a moment.

Nie Junheng glanced at Xu Ruoyao coldly, then squatted down, picked up a few grains of boiled soft rice on the ground, put them in his mouth and tasted them, and his eyes gradually covered with a layer of coldness.

Ling Xue also squatted down and said to Nie Junheng, "There's a smell of white vinegar in here, right?" ”

She then explained: "These refugees have a sickly look on their faces, and if you look at the dark spots that appear under their eyelids, I can be sure that they must have soaked moldy rice in white vinegar to make porridge for these refugees!" ”

"Although mildew will not kill people immediately, they don't know that after eating too much of this thing, toxins will accumulate in the internal organs, and finally integrate into the blood, and in severe cases, the five internal organs will erode and die, and this disease is called sepsis in the medical books."

At this time, Xu Ruoyao couldn't listen to it anymore, and shouted in her mouth: "Ye Lingxue, you are talking nonsense!" This is the relief food distributed by the imperial court! How can it be moldy rice! ”

Ling Xue said: "Then I have to ask your father and your father's lackeys!" ”

"It's summer, and the new rice has long been in the granary! But you actually stole the day and took the moldy old rice to fill the number! It's a loss of conscience! ”

Xu Ruoyao quibbled: "You are talking nonsense, there is no problem with this rice!" If you don't believe it, we can confront the officials of the Ministry of Rites face to face! He is responsible for this relief food! ”

Xu Ruoyao is not afraid of them to investigate! This relief grain is only distributed for one day a day, and the moldy rice delivered today has already been boiled into rice porridge, and they can't find anything at all! Xiu Net

Nie Junheng stood up, turned his head to look at Xu Ruoyao, and said, "Do you really think there is no problem with this porridge?" ”

Xu Ruoyao pretended to be calm and said: "Naturally, there is no problem, you are not afraid of crooked shadows, if you don't believe it, you can go and check!" ”

Nie Junheng sneered and said, "Someone! Bring the rest of the porridge! ”

Xu Ruoyao only thought that all the white porridge had already fallen to the ground, and she didn't want to, there was still unfinished in the pot in the kitchen.

After a short time, a guard came out of the pot with a bowl full of white porridge.

Xu Ruoyao didn't panic.

It's just a bowl of white porridge, she doesn't believe it, just by the white vinegar smell in this porridge, she can conclude that she uses moldy rice!

But she never expected that Nie Junheng would use this bowl of white porridge to target her!

"Since you think this porridge is fine, then you can drink this porridge." Nie Junheng curled the corners of his mouth mockingly, staring at her with straight eyes, and his voice was as cold as ice.

"What...... What. Xu Ruoyao trembled, and an ominous premonition spread in her heart.

"Why should I drink! I'm not a refugee! Xu Ruoyao kept retreating with her steps, and her body couldn't help but tremble.

She knew that Nie Junheng was a complete madman! He can do anything!

She knows how this white porridge is boiled!

She didn't even eat moldy rice that rice worms didn't eat......

"Someone!" Nie Junheng's eyes turned cold, and he didn't care if she wanted to drink it or not, so he immediately ordered: "Drink it to her!" Not a single grain of rice is allowed to be spilled! ”

As soon as the order was given, a soldier immediately stepped forward and grabbed Xu Ruoyao and restrained her hands and feet, preventing her from moving.

Seeing this, the officers and soldiers tried to draw their swords to resist, but they were instead blocked by the well-trained soldiers.

Seeing this, Xu Ruoyao couldn't help but despair, and shouted in her mouth: "If you dare to be rude to me, my father will not let you go!" ”

Nie Junheng coldly spit out a few words: "Accompany you to the end!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the soldier broke Xu Ruoyao's mouth and poured a bowl full of white porridge into her mouth.

The hot white porridge was steaming, and Xu Ruoyao was so hot that she burst into tears.

But the soldier didn't have the slightest soft-heartedness, and he really didn't spill a grain of rice, and poured it all into Xu Ruoyao's mouth.

Ling Xue looked at all this expressionlessly, and did not relentless at Xu Ruoyao's tragic situation!

It's all her own fault!

A bowl of white porridge went down, Xu Ruoyao lost her human appearance, and collapsed on the ground in embarrassment......
