"You have been responsible for collecting this silver charcoal?" Rong Yuan checked the basket of silver charcoal that Li Weigang brought again, and sure enough, he also found the fragrance of **.
Li Wei had already learned the ins and outs of the matter from Shui Yue's mouth. Seeing that he had been staring at Yin Tan for so long, he knew that the problem must be this, and quickly knelt down and said, "Yin Tan has been a slave since Tianhan."
Go to the charcoal room to get it, but I swear to God that I have never done anything, and I have never intended to harm the master. I ask the master and Dr. Xu to tell you clearly!"
"Get up." Ling Ruo couldn't bear to stand for a long time. He put his hands on his sleeves and sat down on the rosewood chair. He said in a weak voice: "You are the person next to me. I will not doubt you. Think about it carefully. Every time you go back, you will receive the gift."
Is there anything weird about charcoal?"
Weird... Li Wei lowered his head and thought for a long time before he said with some uncertainty: "I don't know if this is weird or not. Wang Bao, the young man from Tanfang, had a bit of a feud with me. In fact, it's not a big deal. He just had sex with a few people a few years ago.
When the boys were hiding together to gamble, they were seen by the slaves and said something to them. Later, Li Fujin found out about this.
, fined Wang Bao a month's fine. Wang Bao thought it was the slave who had tipped him off, so he rarely spoke to the slave from then on. However, when they met in the charcoal room these days, he actually took the initiative to talk to the slave with an attitude.
He was very enthusiastic, talking and laughing, and even picked up the best silver charcoal and packed it for the slave to bring back. The slave thought he had figured it out, so he didn't care."
After Rong Yuan pointed out that there was a problem with the charcoal, someone had already brought water to put it out. Although the warmth in the house was not there, the ghost that had troubled Ling Ruo for a long time did not appear again, which made her spirit improve. Thinking of
It’s not that tiring after all,
After a brief thought, he said: "It was just a few arguments but he could remember them for several years. It shows that Wang Bao is not a broad-minded person. In this case, how could he suddenly let go and rebuild the old relationship with you? I would say that being courteous for nothing is not a traitor.
That’s stealing.”
"This slave was negligent. Fortunately, Dr. Xu was here this time. Otherwise, I would have harmed my master without knowing it. Please punish me!" Li Wei knelt down and apologized quickly, looking very annoyed.
"Instead of pleading guilty, it would be better to atone for your sins." Ling Ruo glanced at him and turned to Rong Yuan and said, "What does Dr. Xu think?"
"Incense has many materials and is complicated to make. It is definitely not something that a servant can do. Moreover, Fujin and Wang Bao have no feud, so Wei Chen guessed that Wang Bao is just a person who obeys orders, and there must be a master messenger behind him.
, only by finding this master messenger Fujin can we truly have peace of mind."
Ling Ruo raised her sleeves and covered her mouth with a smile and said, "What Doctor Xu wants coincides with mine. I can't wait to see Wang Bao and... the big fish behind him."
Rong Wan handed Shui Yue a prescription that he had just finished writing and the ink had not yet dried, "Fu Jin has been disturbed by the incense of ** these days, which has taken a huge toll on his mind and spirit. This prescription will help Fujin to recuperate his body. Wei Chen still has something to do at the Imperial Hospital."
, resign first."
"Thank you so much, Dr. Xu, for today's matter. Ling Ruoming feels it in my heart. Mo Yu, please send Dr. Xu out for me." She nodded, and when her eyes passed over Rong Yuan's calm and gentle face, she felt a little moved. He will always be like this.
There is no one person in the world who cares about himself the most.
After Rong Yuan left, Ling Ruo immediately called Li Wei and ordered him to try to find out about Wang Bao. Li Wei acted very quickly and had already found out the general situation before nightfall. Wang Bao was a gambler and had not yet heard of Wang Bao.
Marrying a wife, both parents died when he was young. Only one younger brother farmed at home. It was said that he had a very good relationship with his younger brother. He had a close relationship with Xiaosi who was killed with a stick a few days ago. After Xiaosi's death, he even secretly paid homage to her.
"Can there be friendship between gamblers?" Ling Ruo sneered at this and said to Li Wei: "Go and call Wang Bao and tell him that I have something to ask him."
Li Wei hesitated for a moment and said: "Now it is said that Wang Bao is not afraid of disturbing the grass and frightening the big fish behind him?"
Ling Ruo stood in front of the window and looked up at the huge night curtain slowly falling from the sky. The fine hair and tassels were flying in the night curtain that was about to fall. "I just want to lure the snake out of its hole. Just pass it on."
Already."
Seeing that Ling Ruo didn't want to say more, Li Wei closed his mouth knowingly, agreed and left quickly. Not long after, he brought in a man in his early thirties with a short beard.
"Master, Wang Bao is here." As soon as Li Wei finished speaking, Wang Bao immediately called Qian'er and said respectfully: "I'm sending my regards to Ling Fujin, Ling Fujin is blessed."
"Get up." Ling Ruo looked at him carefully and said slowly, holding back the disgust in her heart: "How many years have you been in the mansion?"
When he first came in, Wang Bao rolled his eyes quietly and found that there was no charcoal in such a cold sky house. His already uneasy heart sank more and more, and he said uneasily: "If I go back to Ling Fujin, I am only nineteen years old."
It has been twelve years since I entered the mansion."
Ling Ruo nodded noncommittally, held Mo Yu's hand and stood up and walked in front of him, "That means you were already there when Baylor Mansion was first built, and you were considered an old man in the manor. Now you are in charge of the charcoal house.
In this case, you should better understand your duty as a slave." At this point, his voice suddenly turned cold and he said sternly: "Why do you dare to do something so arrogant and reckless as to murder your master?"
Wang Bao's expression changed and his legs trembled slightly, but he still managed to calm down and said, "I don't know what Fujin means by this?"
"Now you are still pretending to be confused with me." Ling Ruo pouted at Li Wei, who immediately took out the basket of untouched silver charcoal from the corner with understanding, and they all fell in front of Wang Bao with a "crash".
When Bao saw the basket of silver charcoal, his face suddenly turned gray and he was trembling. Even the last trace of luck disappeared. The matter must have been exposed.
Sure enough, Li Wei angrily smashed the empty basket on the ground, grabbed his collar and growled viciously: "Wang Bao, you are so brave, you dare to mix incense into the silver charcoal and frame my family."
Master, you hurt me
The master of the house thinks that he is haunted by evil spirits and cannot sleep peacefully every night. Do you know that this is a capital crime!" Whenever he thinks of his carelessness that caused his master to suffer so much, he becomes extremely angry and wishes he could kill him to vent his anger.
hatred.
"I...I don't know, I don't know anything! I've never even heard of incense or anything like that. Don't accuse me randomly!" Wang Bao denied loudly, but his panicked look betrayed everything.
"I have wronged you? Very good." Ling Ruo smiled silently, and stroked the beads hanging down her cheeks with her bare hands and said: "Little Weizi, go report this to Master Beile, and say that I have caught the man who gave me nightmares.
Damn it, Lord Baylor will definitely be very interested in coming here, what do you think Lord Baylor will do with him?"
Li Wei grinned, revealing his snow-white teeth, "My servant heard that there is a punishment in the criminal law called Ling Chi. The person is tightly tied up with a fish, and then the exposed skin is cut off piece by piece with a knife. It is said that some people are tortured for a long time.
He suffered more than a thousand cuts and survived for more than ten days before he died."
"No!" Wang Bao was not very courageous to begin with. Now that he was frightened like this by Li Wei, his liver and gallbladder burst into tears. He threw himself at Ling Ruo's feet and kowtowed with tears streaming down his face. "Ling Fujin, spare your life. I know you are wrong. I will do it again next time."
I don’t dare anymore, please spare my life!”
"Is there a next time?" This question made Wang Bao so breathless that he kowtowed and begged for mercy. After his forehead was red and swollen from the knock, Ling Ruofang bent down and stared at Wang Bao with a pair of long, deep eyes.
, “Do you want to live?”
Wang Bao nodded quickly, feeling regretful in his heart. If he had known this, he should not have been greedy for that little money. Now he is afraid that he will lose his life, all because of the group of people last time. If they had not won too hard, he and Xiaosi would have lost their money again.
Why take such a desperate risk, it's just useless to say anything now.
"If you want to live, tell me what happened to me." Ling Ruo asked in a deep voice, holding the heater in his hand. It didn't know when it started raining outside, and it made a "dinging" sound on the eaves.
