Yinzhen nodded slowly and said to Tong Jia: "Li Luo, you have a kind heart. I don't know that there are many sinister and treacherous people in this world. Let Su Yan deal with these two people."
Tong Jia's lips moved, but she didn't say anything in the end. Instead, she nodded aggrievedly and stepped aside. Almost no one noticed that a trace of hidden pride flashed through her eyes.
Everything is going according to her plan, and I believe that Niu Hulu Lingruo will definitely not escape death this time.
It's just that... "almost no one noticed" is not "really no one noticed" after all. The winner or loser will always have to wait until the last minute to know the outcome.
Nian didn't even look at the two people who were kneeling on the ground shivering. She turned her head and said to Quan Ning, the servant who followed her: "Go and get the stick, so that these two slaves know the consequences of lying in front of the master!"
"My lord, have mercy on me! Fujin have mercy on me!" After hearing these words, Ergouzi and his wife lost their souls. They kowtowed and begged for mercy in a hurry, hoping to escape this physical torture, but Nian ignored them at all. As for Yin,
Zhen was extremely angry because of Zheng Chunhua's disappearance, and he was not willing to let him go.
Not long after, Quan Ning came with two strong boys holding sticks. He saluted Nian and said, "How much is Fujin's stick?"
Nian was already in charge of all the affairs in the house, and just now Yinzhen had personally said that she would handle it, so he did not refuse. He slightly raised his eyebrows and said something that shocked Ergouzi and the others, "Beat them until they are willing to say it."
Until the truth is told, no matter life or death!"
Quan Ning took the order. At his signal, someone came up and pressed Er Gouzi and the two on the bench. Then the stick landed on their backs accurately. He raised the stick and dropped it. He only hit them a few times.
People began to shed tears and cry non-stop.
Severe pain often makes people clear their heads, and the same is true for Ergouzi and the others. Almost at the same time, they both remembered the only difference from the past when delivering food today, and immediately shouted: "Prince, Fujin, slave... slave
We have something to say!”
Nian raised his hand and said coldly as the two of them gasped in pain: "You'd better tell useful truths next, otherwise, the cane won't stop next time!"
Ergouzi, as if he had received an amnesty, rolled down from the bench, kowtowed to Yinzhen and Nianshi and endured the pain: "As for the prince and Fujin, the servants who sent them here have never touched the food box..."
Before Nian could get angry, he followed up and said, "But when the servants passed by the garden, they met a maid named Zi Xi. She injured her foot and fell down.
On the ground, the slaves saw that she had difficulty moving, and thinking that they were also errands in the mansion, they stepped forward to help her, and then..." He carefully glanced at the masters who were all focusing on him and lowered their eyes.
He said lowly: "Later she said that the embroidered shoes were missing, so the servant and Dezi helped her look for the embroidered shoes. During the process, they left the food box for a while."
The more Er Gouzi spoke, the quieter he became, while Dezi lowered his head and did not dare to speak. Apparently, they also remembered the words that Manager Hong would remind them again and again before delivering meals every day, so that they should never take their eyes off the food box.
For a moment, but now they went to find shoes for others and put the food boxes on the ground haphazardly, which was undoubtedly a big mistake!
Zi Xi? Everyone, including Yinzhen, had no idea about this name. They didn't know which maid she was from, so they immediately called Gao Fu. He was the chief manager of the mansion and had the names of all the maids.
However, Gao Fu looked through the entire roster and could not find Zi?, and then ordered all the maids in the house to come and let Er Gouzi and the others identify them one by one, but still found nothing. This person seemed not to be there at all.
exist.
As a result, there is only one possibility left, and that is Ergouzi and the others are lying!
Yinzhen was already in a bad mood because of Zheng Chunhua's disappearance, but he was just holding on to his temper, but now he couldn't bear it anymore. Coldness burst out between his brows, looking at Er Gouzi and others with dull faces, he sneered: "
You are so brave, you actually dare to tease me, come on!"
Seeing Yinzhen glance at the man holding the staff, the ashen-faced Ergouzi jumped up in fright, his mind spinning rapidly. The maid clearly said her name was Zi?, but the executive said it was not on the roster. If
Either they saw a ghost, or the maid gave a false name. What should they do? If they can't prove that there is such a person, they will be dead!
Just when Ergouzi was confused, Dezi, who had been pinned to the ground, suddenly brightened up and said quickly: "Your Majesty, I remember that the maid wore a ring on her hand, which was carved from a single piece of jade.
"A mere maid must
It is impossible to afford such a precious ring. The only possibility is that it was given by the master. Dezi was also seriously ill and sought medical treatment. He hopes to use this ring to find Zixi's master and confirm that there is such a person.
They never lied to each other.
Ring?! The eyelashes that had been falling silently flew up because of these two words. Ling Ruo's eyes were like arrows and shot coldly at Tong Jia. By now, she could already guess out of ten, Lan'er...
...She was indeed used by her!
On the other side, Yilan's face turned slightly pale, and she quickly glanced at Tong Jia, who looked calm, with a very complicated look on her face.
Almost at the same moment, Yinzhen's eyes also fell. He had only given the jade ring described by Dezi to one person, and that was Ling Ruo, so as soon as Dezi finished speaking, he subconsciously thought of Ling Ruo.
Could it be that Ling Ruo did everything and took Zheng Chunhua away from Dongling Pavilion? But why did she do this?
Ling Ruo did not avoid his gaze, letting that scrutinizing gaze see through everything about her; underneath her calm appearance, she was uneasy.
Yinzhen, your misunderstanding once indirectly killed our child, but what about this time? Will you believe me this time?
Although Yinzhen said nothing, many people knew that he had given Ling Ruo an jade ring. After hearing this, they immediately turned their attention to Ling Ruo, wanting to see what she had to say.
Nian was the first to speak, raising her gracefully curved chin and saying, "Ling Fujin, can you take out the ring that the prince gave you so that I can appreciate it?"
Ling Ruo ignored her, just walked forward slowly, and said word by word with Yinzhen's eyes that never looked away: "I don't know what Zi?'s maid is, and I have never ordered anyone to give medicine. Please enlighten me.
!”
Her heart was extremely nervous at this moment. She was waiting for the answer of the man who had tied her whole life, whether she believed it or not...
Nian was very dissatisfied with her ignoring her actions. She took a deep breath and said in a more serious tone: "The prince will judge whether you have done it or not. Now I only ask you, where is the ring?"
Seeing that Yinzhen remained silent, bitterness slowly grew in his heart. Did he... never believe in himself?
