As soon as the teacher and student walked in, they were surrounded by a group of people.
"Master Gong, I heard that the real murderer of Song Da was caught?"
"Who did it? The method is so cruel, it must be severely punished!"
"Yes, it is only right that one kills to pay for one's life!"
She was shocked.
Uncle Master just admitted that he committed murder, and there is news here. Who leaked the news?
"Everyone, calm down first. We are still investigating the real culprit. Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation."
A young man emerged from the crowd and stared at her coldly.
"I'm afraid that the head of the Gong family already knows who the real murderer is, right?"
The young man's tone was unkind, and someone who was close to her immediately said dissatisfiedly, "What do you mean by that?"
"What do I mean? The head of the Gong family knows best. Let me ask you, where did you imprison Ruan Ying?"
At this time, she also recognized that the boy was the one who failed to escape with the girl that night.
According to the girl's family, the boy who was traveling with her was one of her cousins.
The girl got on the boat secretly, without her family knowing before.
"Miss Ruan is just a guest at my place. What does this have to do with it?"
"You are talking nonsense! Ruan Ying clearly saw the real culprit that night! It must be you who deliberately protected the real culprit and hid her! If you have nothing wrong with you, you can bring Ruan Ying out to confront her!"
The young man's words caused the crowd to explode.
Song Da's death brought great pressure on everyone.
They desperately hope to find news about the murderer, firstly to comfort the deceased, and secondly, to ensure their own safety.
The young man pressed forward step by step, seemingly confident, but Lin Mengya could sense the young man's anxiety.
"It doesn't matter whether Miss Ruan is here or not. I know a lot of everything she knows. I will definitely give you an explanation of the real murderer. Instead of letting you talk nonsense here!
"
The young man seemed even more anxious.
"You, you are covering up the real culprit! Everyone has seen it. Since she knows the clues about the real culprit, why didn't she tell us! I think she clearly has something in her heart!"
When the young man yelled like this, some people in the crowd looked at her with strange eyes.
Lin Mengya's eyes were cold. Over the years, she had developed a body of bronze skin and iron bones.
Don't even think about using this method to force her into submission.
"If you insist on not believing it, I can't help it. Besides, I have to be responsible for everyone, not just explain it to you. You are just blabbering here, just provoking everyone's panic. I would like to know, will you deduct it from me?"
What is the purpose of being accused of this? Is it possible that you want everyone to listen to you? Or do you know that you know something, so you deliberately don’t say it? ?”
She was very experienced in doing things like rake someone's back.
The boy was young after all, and he actually roared when he heard this.
"I didn't! I just heard Ruan Ying say that she saw the Crown Prince coming out of Uncle Song's room."
In an instant, everyone fell silent.
Lin Mengya's attitude was no longer as indifferent as before, but she looked at the young man intently.
"You mean, His Highness the Crown Prince came out of Song Da's room?"
The young man nodded unwillingly.
She knew that the boy was lying, but she wanted to know even more what the boy's purpose was.
"So, Ruan Ying told you personally that she saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coming out of Song Da's room, or did he kill Song Da?"
Following her forceful questioning, the young man shrank his neck uncomfortably.
"She, she just said she saw His Highness the Crown Prince, but she didn't seem to see him kill anyone."
"In this case, do you dare to swear by the Patriarch that you heard Ruan Ying say that you saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coming out of Song Da's room? If what you said is false, I will let you die of poisonous hair.
!”
The people next to him understood the viciousness of this oath.
If you want to learn poison techniques, the most important thing is to be familiar with the toxicity of various poisons.
Sometimes you are lucky and can find an observer to test the poison.
But more often than not, they use their own methods to verify.
Unlike those poison doctors who have gone astray, serious poison sects do not like to keep poison people and poison slaves.
At most, we can raise more animals to test the poison, but animals can't speak, so sometimes they will go into battle themselves.
In the process of observing the reaction of poisons, some people who are unlucky may not be able to survive the detoxification and will die from the poison.
They are also trying their luck.
Therefore, they pay more attention to their piety to their ancestors, thinking that only in this way can their ancestors bless them and bring good luck.
If you take this poisonous oath, it will be equivalent to being abandoned by the ancestor.
You can't say for sure when you will test the next poison or when the poison will appear, and it will leave a shadow in your heart.
So the young man hesitated.
Lin Mengya sneered in her heart.
At such a young age, you still want to fight with her?
When everyone saw this scene, they all understood.
Come to think of it, no matter what the girl named Ruan Ying knew, it would never be what the young man said.
"You don't dare to do that anymore?"
She mocked, and the boy immediately blushed, glared at her fiercely, pushed away the person next to him, and ran away.
Outside the crowd, there were people following her.
"Everyone, what happened just now was caused by my negligence, which caused these misunderstandings. The Ruan Ying he mentioned was indeed at my place, but I invited her to my place because of other things. If you all
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."
Everyone was late, and some of them cautiously asked.
"Although what he just said is not credible, did the girl named Ruan Ying really not see anything?"
Lin Mengya nodded.
Now, she can't say it yet.
Ruan Ying has been targeted. If she admits it, the other party will be even more eager to get rid of Ruan Ying.
"What can a little girl know? She just ran out secretly and was afraid of being punished by her family, so she asked me to beg for mercy."
The Ruan family naturally believed her words.
She also stood up and proved that what she said was true.
Gradually, everyone seemed to believe her words.
After finally coaxing everyone away, Lin Mengya took the teacher back to the cabin.
"Miss, my subordinate followed that person and saw him arriving at the lowest cabin. I don't know who he met, but he looked very angry when he came out. And my subordinate also saw that there were many people there. I don't know where he was.
one."
Lin Mengya nodded and let people continue to stare.
At the bottom of the ship is the warehouse, and most of the crew and servants of each family are also below.
It's really not that simple to find out who to meet the boy.
Bai Lirui on the side also showed some good taste.
"Girl, could it be that there is a spy here?"
Even though I don’t want to admit it, this is indeed the case.
But there were so many people, and she couldn't look at everyone's heart. It was normal for a few people to have extramarital affairs.
"Then your uncle, was he also plotted and used by someone?"
"It's very possible. You should know Uncle Master better than I do. Not to mention killing fellow disciples, even those juniors he often scolds, he still has them all in mind. But I'm afraid that Uncle Master is too stubborn.
Yeah, it’s inevitable that you’ll be fooled by others.”
When the teacher heard this, he frowned.
"You're right, but no, I have to go see that old bastard. If he really can't get over it, I can't let him die in my place."
The relationship between the teacher and his uncle is actually very good.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so worried.
Lin Mengya sent away the anxious teacher, and then went to Bai Su and the others.
Knocked on the door with the agreed-upon code. An alert head poked out of his face.
"master."
"Um."
After making sure it was her, Bai Su let him go.
After following her for a long time over the years, Bai Su also developed a sharp eye.
Nothing else is possible, but you can still identify her accurately by looking at her.
"Where's Ruan Ying?"
"Sleep. I struggled for half the night last night, and now I have finally calmed down."
Cairu stood up and saluted her, but she stopped her.
"How is your injury?"
Cairu smiled and shook her head.
"It's nothing serious. I had the poison given by the master, which originally hurt the other party. Then His Highness arrived in time, and I didn't have any problems at all."
Lin Mengya was worried and checked it out personally.
As Cairu said, it was just some superficial injuries.
Despite this, she still brought some trauma medicine, among which was the secret medicine that was in short supply at Zhenlong Hall.
Cairu naturally recognized this rare thing, and accepted it without any hesitation.
I was even more convinced of her in my heart.
After all, not everyone can just give away a bottle of medicine worth more than a hundred taels as a gift.
As for their young lady, it’s the one with the best efficacy!
Ruan Ying lay undressed on another bed.
After falling asleep, the girl still frowned, and even in her sleep, she still looked uneasy.
Lin Mengya's voice was not loud, but when she glanced at Ruan Ying, she felt a little strange.
"How long has she been sleeping like this?"
Cairu thought for a while and replied, "It's been about half an hour. When she came back from outside, she complained that she was sleepy and fell asleep without eating."
Lin Mengya stretched out her hand and felt the temperature on her forehead, only to find that it was unexpectedly cold.
"Ruan Ying, Ruan Ying, wake up, are you hungry? Do you want to eat?"
She gently pushed Ruan Ying's arm with her hand, but there was no response from the other party.
Lin Mengya's voice was also louder, but Ruan Ying's eyes were still closed.
"What's up with her?"
"have no idea."
Something is wrong with Ruan Ying's situation.
According to how frightened she was, let alone being so soundly asleep, she should have been alarmed from the moment she knocked on the door.
At first, Lin Mengya thought Ruan Ying was pretending to sleep, but now it seems that is not the case.
"Guard the doors and windows!"
Bai Su and Cai Ru acted in tacit agreement, and Lin Mengya also took out the silver needle bag she carried with her.
As soon as the needle went down, Ruan Ying woke up with a "wow" sound and screamed.
