Chapter 51 Miss Xu Er’s People
  It was already late at night when Lang Zhuo woke up, and the candlesticks in the room were still on. Qingyang was sleeping next to his couch, Aofeng was curled up directly on the carpet, and there was a pretty person curled up next to the tea table three steps away. , It seemed that he was not sleeping peacefully, Suiyan frowned tightly, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes.

Her two maids and male servants were also sleeping beside her.

It was the first time that so many people were sleeping in his house. Lang Zhuo tried to get up, but his right arm was so stiff and numb that he had no feeling.

Qingyang felt the movement next to him and raised his head in confusion. Just as he was about to speak, Lang Zhuo put his finger to his lips to signal him to be silent.

Lang Zhuo pointed to the door. Qingyang understood, took a thick cloak and put it on Lang Zhuo's shoulders. The two of them quietly walked out of the room and went to the side hall.

After closing the door of the side hall, Qingyang said: "Your poison is very powerful, but Miss Xu Er said that there are three kinds of poisons in your body that balance each other, so you don't need to take the antidote in the white clay pot from now on."

Lang Zhuo stroked the injury on his right shoulder with his left hand and murmured: "Is it so simple that it doesn't matter?"

"It's not simple," Qingyang continued: "Miss Xu Er took advantage of the adult's unconsciousness and scraped off all the rotten flesh corroded by poison from the adult's wound. The villain's legs were weak and trembling just by looking at it. The second girl Xu also had a steady hand with the knife. Steady, it took an hour to take care of the adults' wounds."

The lamp was dim and illuminated Lang Zhuo's face, which was dark and unclear. He said, "I owe her two lives. How is her injury?"

Qingyang continued: "I think the second girl is really kind to you. She said she had a skin injury and insisted on being treated by you first. It wasn't until your pulse stabilized that she went to take a bath and change clothes, and Weifeng arranged it for her. We went to the side room, but the second girl was worried that the master's condition might change, so she stayed there until she was about to fall asleep."

"But..." Qingyang scratched his ears, unable to speak, "The second girl said that adults should get married first. Although the three poisons will balance each other and will not kill adults, the love... is very uncomfortable at first, saying that it may be hot. An’an, she said it might be okay if it’s cold now, but it might be very painful for adults when it gets hot later.”

Lang Zhuo looked back and glared at him, Qingyang immediately said: "Miss, she is thin-skinned and said it very tactfully, but I guess this is what I mean. If you have any questions, you can ask Miss Xu Er yourself when she wakes up."

"Where's the Zuixian Building? What's going on?" Lang Zhuo changed the subject.

Qingyang said with a smile: "Qianyi's body has been handed over to the capital government office. The people from the capital government office reported it to the Ministry of Punishments overnight. Anyway, he is Sheng Le's spy. This case will keep them busy for a while. Wait for it to come to an end." When they arrive, I will give them the bodies of Tuoba Zhao and Chang Yu."

"Also, Miss Puran sent King Leping back safe and sound. The girls who served King Leping were so ashamed when they sobered up that they all threw themselves into a well out of grief and anger. Puran also reported to the official."

When he heard that the girls were "throwing themselves into the well", Lang Zhuo's brows instantly tightened, and he put his left hand behind his back, curling his long fingers slightly like a spasm.

King Leping was not a fool. Once he was sober, he would definitely suspect that someone had drugged him. Once he caught those girls and interrogated them, he would know that those girls had the same symptoms as him after drinking.

Rather than harming Zuixianlou, it would be better to let those girls "die of shame". King Leping would not dare to investigate in a big way, and let him suffer the loss of being a romantic mute.

After a moment of silence, Lang Zhuo's eyes turned calm and he continued to ask: "Have you found the person who drugged you?"

Qingyang said: "I caught him. He turned out to be a former servant of Duke Anguo. He was called Guangxin, who served Miss Xu. Miss Puran has sent him over, and he is now locked up in our woodshed. Puran However, six 100-tael silver notes were also found from his residence, all issued by Baoyin Pavilion, five of which had consecutive numbers."

"Come on, let's go to the woodshed."

As soon as the door of the side hall opened, the lights in the corridor reflected blood all over his body. His moon-white long clothes were fluttering, and his footsteps made a series of footprints in the snow. Qingyang followed closely behind him, and the two of them walked towards the firewood. Leave the room. There was no light in the woodshed. Guangxin shivered in the terrifying darkness all night, with his hands tied behind his back. He was now numb and unconscious.

Until the door of the woodshed suddenly opened, and the skylight from outside came in, completely illuminating him.

He couldn't see the faces of the people who came in from the outside. He could only feel that there was a cold and gloomy air surrounding them, standing in front of him like ghosts.

Qingyang came in holding a candlestick, and Guangxin finally saw the person in front of him clearly. He was pale and handsome, and his eyes were filled with a serious smile.

He finally recognized it, it was Lang Zhuo!
  Guangxin shrank back in fear, "I'm just a boy doing odd jobs in Zuixian Tower. Why are you arresting me?"

"Your name is Guangxin?" Lang Zhuo asked calmly, "You used to take care of Miss Xu in the Duke's Mansion?"

Guang Xin nodded, this was no secret. When his deed was sold, the person in charge of Zuixian Tower knew his origins very well.

He said: "The villain soiled the eldest girl's test paper in the Duke's Mansion and was sold because he offended her. But the villain worked conscientiously in Zuixian Tower and made no mistakes."

Lang Zhuo continued to ask: "Then why did you poison the wine in the East Loft? Who instigated you to do this?"

Guang Xin didn't know why he fell into Lang Zhuo's hands. He avoided looking and lowered his eyes, "I don't know what the adults said. I just brought the guests into the room. After the guests left, I will take them again." Cleaning the food tables and serving food and wine are not jobs for small people."

Lang Zhuo clasped his hands behind his back, paced back and forth in front of Guang Xin, and said softly: "I advise you to tell the truth. You made King Leping go crazy in public, and seven or eight girls who had served him committed suicide. This is not a trivial matter. Zuixianlou has already reported it to the official. Now that you have told me everything, I might be able to help you, otherwise it will be a dead end for the people from the capital government office to find out."

Guangxin was sweating and his mind was racing. He knew very well the relationship between Lang Zhuo and the Duke's Mansion. Maybe if he told the truth, Lang Zhuo would really let him go. After all, the mastermind was Miss Xu Er.

He knelt forward two steps tremblingly, lowered his head and said: "It's the second girl. It's the medicine that the second girl gave me and asked me to put it in King Leping's wine. The villain doesn't know what the medicine is, he just follows his orders." After finishing the work, Yan Qing, who was next to the second girl, gave me a one hundred tael silver note."

Lang Zhuo's expression remained as usual, Qingyang couldn't help but widen his eyes and couldn't believe his ears.

The erotic scene in the east attic last night is vivid in my mind. Who would believe that it was the work of a young girl who has not yet left the pavilion?

"You're talking nonsense!" Qingyang shouted loudly, "I only gave you one banknote? Then why were six banknotes found at your residence? How could you, a handyman, have so much money? Tell me clearly."

Guangxin raised his head tremblingly, with fear and cunning in his eyes, "Yan Qing gave it to me. It was Yan Qing who asked me to drug King Leping the first time. After that, he gave me five hundred taels of silver notes."

What makes Miss Xu Er so brave? How dare you trick King Leping twice! Qingyang opened his mouth wide and was afraid to ask. He turned his eyes and glanced at Lang Zhuo.
