"Ah Qing, is your method reliable? Why is there no movement at all in the house?" Bailia sat at the table dejectedly, resting her chin on her hand.
Because Bailiya was worried about Bailiyu's injury, she stayed in Su Mansion these days.
"Oh, as long as the fish you catch is big enough, you don't have to worry about waiting for a long time." Su Qing didn't look worried at all.
Two days ago, on the evening of the day Bailiyu was poisoned, he had asked Ning Qi to reveal the news to the outside world unintentionally, saying that someone had come to report secretly.
She also intercepted a letter from outside the house, which was in the study. She also deliberately let people relax the guard in the study.
The bait has been placed, now she just needs to wait for the fish to take the bait.
"But..." Bailia was still pacing around the room anxiously. If the poisoner was not caught, her third brother would be in danger for one more day.
"You don't know who the fish is, so there's no point in being anxious." Su Qing said.
"But Third Brother's side..."
"A Yu and I both have the life and death Gu in our bodies. He and I are tied together. I'm not in a hurry. Why are you in a hurry?"
Seeing Su Qing's calm look, Bai Liya simply fell back and collapsed directly on the soft chair, looking at the sky speechlessly.
…
It was night, and although the lights in Su Mansion were still bright, the guards were much more relaxed.
A little maid named Lu'er in green clothes came to the study with a snack box and said, "Brothers, you have worked hard. The lady asked me to bring this to reward you two."
The two guards guarding the door looked at each other and said with joy on their faces, "Then please go back and thank Miss on our behalf."
The guard took the snack box and started eating it.
Lu'er glanced at them and quietly stepped aside.
He climbed in directly through the window behind the study room.
Bang - bang -
A sound of fighting came from the study, and the little maid was quickly captured by Ning Qi who was hiding in the study.
Ning Qi sneaked Renti all the way to Su Qing's yard.
Bailia has been sleeping in the same room as Su Qing these days. After all, she is a princess. Su Qing is also afraid that something will happen to her in Su Mansion, so he lets her share a room with him.
Bailia heard the noise outside and ran out immediately, "Ah Qing, come on, catch it, catch it."
"Shh, keep your voice down." Su Qing made a gesture to silence her. It was already very late and all the servants in the courtyard were asleep.
If you wake them up and don't get a good rest at night, they won't be able to work well during the day.
Bailia looked at Su Qing apologetically, but she couldn't help it, she was so happy that she suddenly forgot about the time.
"Tell me, who ordered you?" Su Qing looked coldly at Lu'er who was thrown to the ground by Ning Qi.
Killing intent emerged in her eyes, but she quickly hid it. In an instant, she regained her clear eyes.
When Lu'er heard this, her body suddenly collapsed to the ground. Only then did she realize that she had fallen into a trap.
When Ning Qi saw that Lu'er refused to speak, she waved her hand and the guards brought the torture tools for her fingers. He immediately rushed over, put the torture tools on Lu'er's fingers, blocked her mouth, and then severely
With a pull, "Lu'er, tell me honestly, who ordered you to poison me? If you don't tell me, I will kill you!"
Although Bailiyu is Ning Qi's former master, he has been with Bailiyu for a long time. People have feelings, and they can let go of them as soon as they can.
He will definitely not let Lu'er and the mastermind behind it go.
Lu'er was in so much pain that she wanted to scream, but her mouth was blocked. She was in pain but couldn't vent it. That was the most tortured thing.
This pinch almost cut off her fingers, which were connected to her heart. Her hands were covered in blood, and the pain made her cry. But she still said stubbornly: "There is no mastermind, everything is my own initiative.
It was me who had a grudge against the Third Prince, and I was the one who poisoned you. There was no mastermind at all."
The implication is that Lu'er confessed, but did not reveal the mastermind behind it.
Su Qing said coldly: "Tell me, who is the person pretending to be Manager Zhang?"
Now, Lu'er's body was trembling even more in panic. She couldn't confess that person, absolutely not.
The guards, on the other hand, had already started to torture her so hard that they almost broke off Lu'er's fingers.
Lu'er was heartbroken with pain, and blood was flowing from her hands. She said painfully: "Yes, this slave is an imposter. I used a human skin mask and imitated the young lady's disguise of a man. She pretended to be Manager Zhang, poisonous
It was also given to the prince by his slave."
Lu'er gritted her teeth tightly. Her entire family was in that person's hands. Even if she died, she would not confess the person behind the scenes.
She didn't want to do this at all, she didn't want to feel sorry for the young lady, but the other party gave her a sum of money that she couldn't earn even by working as a cow in her life, and threatened her with the lives of her family, so she had to do this.
For the sake of her family's life, she had no choice but to feel sorry for the young lady.
If she died this time, she would be able to atone for her sins from Manager Zhang, and she would no longer have to live with such guilt.
Su Qing said coldly: "You would rather die than protect the person pretending to be Manager Zhang? Lu'er, are you being threatened? Or is your family in the hands of others? Tell me honestly, as long as you are willing
Tell the truth and I will help your family and let you go."
"Really?" Lu'er had a glimmer of hope in her eyes and looked at Su Qing in disbelief.
"Really, once I say something, it's hard for a small horse to chase you back." Su Qing said.
"Slave...ah!" Lu'er was about to speak. Suddenly, she opened her mouth wide and her body stiffened uncomfortably. Then, her body tilted and she fell heavily to the ground.
Su Qing saw this and hurried forward. She saw Lu'er lying on the ground, dark blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. Her eyes widened, her body stiffened, and she had no breath.
Su Qing reached out and poked Lu'er's nose, with a sad look on her face, and said, "She's dead!"
"Dead so soon?" Ning Qi was shocked. He came over and turned over Lu'er's body to check.
Upon inspection, he suddenly found two silver needles on Lu'er's neck. He quickly pulled out the silver needles and said, "Miss, look, she has been hit by a needle. There is a strong poison in this needle."
Su Qing also quickly looked at the needle. It was a very ordinary silver needle with two taels of silver. There were no marks or patterns on it. The tip of the needle was black, which showed that it was contaminated with poison.
"The other party is trying to kill people and silence them. Lu'er is dead. It seems that there is no evidence of his death. The person behind the scenes cannot be found out for the time being." Su Qing said in a deep voice.
Bailia glanced at Lu'er's body. She was not afraid. On the contrary, when she lived in the palace, she had secretly seen many such things. "Ning Qi, have you ever seen this kind of silver needle?"
"Back to the princess, this kind of silver needle is so common. It can be seen everywhere on the street. Generally, killers with some strength will tattoo their hidden weapons with unique marks in order to show their strength, but these two silver needles are very
Ordinary, it seems that person doesn't want everyone to know his identity." Ning Qi said.
Su Qing said doubtfully: "The needle is ordinary, but the poison is extraordinary. This poison seals the throat when it sees blood. It is extracted from the venom in the curare tree. This kind of poison can kill people instantly. It will make this kind of poison...
People who are extremely poisonous must not be ordinary people. As long as you go to the poison expert to check, you might be able to find out something."
"Wow, Qing, you are so amazing, how come you know everything?" Balia was frowning at the side. Seeing Su Qing, she immediately recognized the poison, suddenly clapped her hands, and looked at Su Qing with admiration.
green.
"This is all what my master taught me." Immediately, Su Qing ordered Ning Qi, "The killer just finished killing Lu'er. He must not have run far. Why don't you lead someone to chase him?"
She didn't expect that those killers were so courageous. The Su Mansion was surrounded by secret guards, but he actually dared to come.
She must find this person out. "Yes, miss, I will go immediately."
As for Bai Liyu, he actually woke up on the day he was poisoned. Su Qing kept letting him pretend to be unconscious in order to lure him out.
Now that this person has been found out, she should breathe a sigh of relief.
