Fengqi crabapple

Chapter 67
It was Liu Xu, the doctor in the mansion, who came in. Without saying a word, he put down the medicine box and stepped forward to check the pulse. He also checked the tongue coating and eyes. He said with certainty: "The old lady is poisoned! Fortunately, I can use this poison." Solution." So he took the medicine from the medicine box and asked Su Lan to feed the old lady to eat.After only a few breaths, the old lady woke up leisurely.

The first thing she said when she woke up was: "Qiuli ointment is poisonous! Cheng Haitang, why do you want to harm me?" Seeing Haitang standing there blankly, the old lady pointed at Haitang with trembling fingers and asked:

"You are my biological granddaughter. Although Cheng Mansion did not raise you, I have not treated you poorly since I beat you back. What grudge or grudge did you have to poison your grandmother?"

Haitang knew that no one would let her defend herself at this moment, so she wanted to take the bottle of Qiuli ointment on the table to check, but Cheng Xiangjin snatched it away: "Do you still want to destroy the evidence? Doctor Liu, look, this is my grandmother Eat the Qiuli paste." After saying that, he handed the Qiuli paste to Liu Xu.

Doctor Liu took out the silver needle and checked it. Sure enough, the silver needle turned black.

Cheng Xiangjin sneered and said: "You made the Qiuli ointment with your own hands. The girls in the west wing and the girls in the kitchen have seen it with their own eyes. Now that there are both witnesses and physical evidence, what else do you want to deny, a wild girl from the countryside?"

Ji'er hurriedly said: "Although the Qiuli ointment was made by the girl's own hands, the servants were also involved. If you say that Qiuli ointment is poisonous, take me to the officials!"

"Of course you can't escape!" Pan Xiuying shouted: "Cheng Li, take them two down! Lock up all the girls in her house!"

A nurse over there had already rushed into Haitang House to control Shuang'er. The nurse pointed behind Shuang'er and shouted, "Big girl!" Shuang'er hurriedly looked back and was covered by a piece of cloth soaked in anesthetic. Mouth and nose, unconscious.

When she woke up, she saw Ji'er, Huaping, and Liuying, who were tied up and locked up in a small room with her.She was shocked. The girl was not there. Counting the people in the girl's room, there was another one, Ruyi, who was not there either!

Haitang was pushed out of the old lady's yard, but she was walking in a different direction than Ji'er.She was taken to the small ancestral hall and locked up, while Ji'er was locked up in a utility room behind the side hall.An Liu took note of the location, quickly left the Cheng Mansion, and quickly went to report to the prince.

But Pan Xiuying had no intention of keeping them. After she had runny noses and burst into tears, she sang along with Liu Xu, and after washing the old lady's brain for a while, she and Liu Xu withdrew.

As soon as he entered the house, Cheng Li flashed in.He smiled proudly and said: "While those girls were unconscious, some of the confessions were drawn up and kept for later use."

"You acted quickly today, and everything went smoothly on both ends. Don't delay now, quickly find someone to deal with and sell them all to the brothel!" Pan Xiuying wanted to make a quick decision.

"You see you're soft-hearted again, don't you?" Cheng Li closed the door, hugged Pan Xiuying from behind, took a bite of her face, and said, "It doesn't matter if those girls are sold, but this Cheng Haitang, I have a better one." Great place to go!”

Pan Xiuying asked doubtfully: "Where to go?"

"Didn't I tell you the day before yesterday that plague broke out in Li Village on the eastern outskirts of the city? The government quickly surrounded the affected village and designated it as a restricted area. Officers and soldiers guarded it day and night to prevent infected people from coming out."

"You mean to throw her to Li Village?"

"Sold into a brothel, she can come out in the future. At most, her body is dirty. After entering an epidemic area, life and death are not up to her. When the master asks in the future, he will only say that she ran away in fear of crime and accidentally entered the epidemic area. Unfortunately, she died there. . Then it has nothing to do with you and me, and the poisoning case will naturally be unproven. In the end, it’s up to you to say whatever you want.”

Cheng Li smiled brightly, as if he was talking about a great good thing.

Pan Xiuying nodded in agreement.Cheng Li let go of her and said with a smile on his face, "It's not too late. I'll take care of it myself so that you can feel at ease!"

Cheng Li was an old and cunning man. He found a cloak, wrapped the semi-conscious Cheng Haitang, avoided the people in the house, dragged her into the carriage at the second door, and drove the carriage himself, twisting and turning. Quietly went outside the city.

After he had gone far, several nursing staff tied the four girls into a string according to Butler Cheng's arrangement, pushed them outside the door and got into the carriage, and went to the brothel together with Yazi who came over.Xie Ruitang, who received the report from Dark Six, rushed over with his people, just in time to see several girls being pushed into the carriage. They followed the carriage, and everyone they saw was sent to the brothel.

Xie Ruitang refused to wait even for a breath. How could he want Haitang to enter this dirty place?He immediately led people to rush in and smashed the entrance of the hall. The madam was afraid and quickly took away the few girls who had not yet been confiscated.

Xie Ruitang was dumbfounded and asked Shuang'er urgently: "Where are you girls?"

Several people had just taken off the cloth covering their mouths, and Shuang'er was about to cry: "The girl was never locked up with us from the beginning! Your Majesty, our house is missing a girl named Ruyi!"

As one wishes!Xie Ruitang felt so regretful that his head almost exploded.

"Your Majesty, you just said that we would be arrested and brought to court. Will the girl go to court?" Ji'er also asked anxiously.

"Let's go! Let's go to the Yamen first. Ling Feng, find someone to take Huaping and Liuying back to Prince Duan's Mansion first." Xie Ruitang strode out.Ling Xue didn't need to give any orders, she had already mounted her horse and rushed to the front.

When Xie Ruitang arrived at the yamen gate, Ling Xue shook her head and said, "No one came to declare customs today. I'm afraid they are still in the house. I have asked Ling Guang to go over and keep an eye on him, and An Liu is still in Cheng's house."

Xie Ruitang had already listened to Ji'er's explanation of what had happened on the way, and knowing that Yu Lang had been sent to the inn to pick up things early in the morning, he guessed that it was someone from the Cheng family who had killed Haitang, and the Qiuli ointment contained The poison must be related to Ruyi!

"Ling Xue, go to Cheng Mansion to find Ruyi first, don't let her be silenced! An Qing, go to the post station to find Yu Lang, I'm afraid he has been tricked. Ling Feng, let's go to Cheng Mansion Ancestral Hall and ask Pan Xiuying for help. People!" Before he finished speaking, Xie Ruitang flew on his horse and ran towards Cheng Mansion.

After Cheng Li returned to the city, he did not go directly back to his hometown. Instead, he parked the carriage under a teahouse not far away and walked back with his hands behind his back.Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the gate, Huyuan and Renyazi came forward and said that King Duan took the person away directly from the brothel, and the money was not received yet!
Cheng Li felt bad, so he didn't go to Pan Xiuying and went directly to the backyard to find Ruyi. This trouble could not be saved.

Ruyi was sitting in the west wing of the room, thinking about his future with confidence, when Cheng Li opened the door and came in.

"Steward Cheng, what else can you do?" Ruyi stood up with a smile.

Cheng Li smiled sinisterly, pulled out a dagger and said, "It's nothing, I'm just here to send you on your way!"

"What do you want to do? If you kill me, the young master will not let you go when he comes back!" Ruyi was so frightened that her face turned pale, she kept backing up and cried: "I don't want to die! I'm in the same boat with you. Ask the second girl, the second girl knows best!"

"Don't want to die? That's not up to you!" Cheng Li said with a grin. He had already walked up to Ruyi, grabbed her with one hand, and raised the dagger with the other.

"Whether she dies or not, it's not up to you!" Ling Xue threw a knife, and the dagger in Cheng Li's hand fell. Cheng Li hurriedly turned around, and Ling Xue struck the knife with his hand, and he fell to the ground without knowing where he was.

Ling Xue turned to look at Ruyi, who was still in shock, and said coldly:

"I heard that you really want to enter our palace?"
