"You know you're afraid now?" Bai Ruozhu looked at the workers' frightened eyes, sneered, and said, "I'll give you a way out. I'll be lenient when you go to the Yamen tomorrow morning to confess. As long as you tell the truth, Mr. Lu will understand that your family has been tortured." Coercion will result in a lighter punishment."

"No! No, I can't tell Prince Duan, he will make my life worse than death!" The man screamed in horror.

Bai Ruozhu took out a small bottle, shook it in front of the workers, and said, "You don't have to confess, I can still make your life worse than death. Just because I have a good heart and don't want to be evil, so you can Do you choose to harm my interests and then think that just asking for mercy from me is enough?"

She opened the bottle cap, poured the poison onto the back of the man's hand, and said coldly: "You are not the only ones who know how to use poison. You can continue to speak harshly and experience what it means to be worse than death."

After Bai Ruozhu finished speaking, he walked out. Some workers were woken up. They probably knew what was going on. When they saw Bai Ruozhu, they said: "Master, this kind of person cannot be tolerated. He wants to kill everyone and waste our usual time as him." They are friends."

"I will be strict with you. You all should go back and rest." Bai Ruozhu said.

The workers all went back to their rooms after hearing this. They live in the workshop and go home to visit their families once every half month.

Soon, the screams of the poisoner were heard in the room. He didn't last for a few minutes before he begged: "Master, I am willing to confess. Please let me go."

Jian Qi had been staring at the man in the room, and saw that there was only a very small wound on the back of his hand, even like a mosquito bite, but his whole body was shaking with pain. If it hadn't been for the acupuncture point, he might have been injured. I can roll all over the floor.

Bai Ruozhu heard him scream a few times, then went in to detoxify him and said, "As long as you can figure it out, even if you hide it for King Duan, he won't remember your good deeds."

"Let someone watch him. Don't be silenced. He will be handed over to Mr. Lu early tomorrow morning." Bai Ruozhu dozed off after saying that. After three days of work, she was really tired.

After returning to the yard, she hugged her fat son and took a nap. It was not until dawn that Bai Ruozhu was woken up by Deng Deng.

She hugged Deng Deng and went to freshen up. Jian Qi stood beside her and said with a cold face: "Master, this subordinate neglected his duty. That tall pillar suddenly became stupid."

Gao Zhuzhu was the worker who poisoned him. Bai Ruozhu took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart and asked, "No one has been near him since?"

Jian Qi shook his head, "All the trusted secret guards were watching. No one came close. My subordinates went to check it personally, and no one used poison."

"Soul-taking..." Bai Ruozhu said through gritted teeth.

King Duan was indeed more cautious this time. He had someone poison Gao Zhuzi in advance, which meant that regardless of whether Gao Zhuzi would betray him or not, as long as Gao Zhuzi poisoned him at the specified time, he would be poisoned before dawn. All will be turned into fools by the mind-rending spell.

From this point of view, the assassins who chased Wu Bai in Jiangnan were indeed King Duan's men.

Thinking of this, Bai Ruozhu remembered that there was no news about Wu Ying and Wu Bai in the past few days. Could something happen?

Probably because he was thinking of someone, he arrived. Not long after breakfast, Wu Ying and Wu Bai suddenly came to visit, and brought a cart full of thank-you gifts, saying that Mrs. Wu insisted on giving them to Bai Ruozhu, and thanked her for saving Wu Bai's life.

Bai Ruozhu didn't refuse, she would just return the favor later.

"I was thinking about it yesterday, but my mother insisted on saying that I was injured and needed to rest, and she wanted to see my wound." Wu Bai winked at Bai Ruozhu, "Of course I didn't show it to her, but she suspected that I was injured too badly and wouldn't let me live or die. Get out."

Wu Bai's injury had healed on the road, but there were scars from the stitches, and the needle holes near the wound were clearly visible. Bai Ruozhu gave Wu Bai medicine to rub, and said that he could not give it to others until the scars could no longer be seen as stitches. Look at the wound.

For this reason, Wu Bai also slandered the emperor, why should he keep his suturing skills secret, otherwise he wouldn't have to go to so much trouble.

Wu Ying took Bai Ruozhu's hand and asked about yesterday's events. Now that Mengcheng was in trouble, the Wu family naturally got the news. Bai Ruozhu briefly talked about King Duan's frame-up, and also talked about Gao Zhuzi's stupidity after being poisoned.

"It is indeed King Duan's method. Doesn't he want to be secretive now? If my brother and I come back alive, my parents will not be on the wrong team." Wu Ying said angrily.

"Don't think about anything else now. Ensuring your own safety is the first priority. Don't become a handle for King Duan to threaten your father." Bai Ruozhu said, especially looking at Wu Bai. Wu Lie was Wu Bai's son. , if King Duan uses Wu Bai to threaten, Wu Lie may really give in, and Wu Lie has a somewhat reckless temper, and his internal injuries are not fully healed, so it is indeed easy for King Duan to take advantage of him.

"That's why my mother didn't allow him to go out. He sneaked out today." Wu Ying said and rolled her eyes at her brother.

Bai Ruozhu felt a little worried after hearing this, and hurriedly called Jian Qi and the others, saying that they would escort the Wu brothers and sisters back later to avoid any complications.

Wu Ying and Wu Bai went to see Bai Yihong and Lin Ping'er, went to say hello, stayed for lunch, and then left.

After the two left, Bai Ruozhu felt anxious in her heart, fearing that something might happen again. When Jian Qi came back, she rushed over and asked, "Have they gotten home safely?"

Jian Qi nodded, "My master is very good at predicting the situation. As expected, something happened on the road. The axle of the Wu family's carriage suddenly broke. The subordinates noticed the murderous intention and immediately pulled Wu Bai onto his horse and galloped away. Wu Ying was also taken away by Mu Yu. After leaving, the others blocked them, and then they were safely sent back to the Wu family."

Jian Qi didn't say much, but he was allowed to say such a dangerous thing so simply, but Bai Ruozhu could still feel the danger in it.

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay." Bai Ruozhu let out a big sigh and gave Jian Qi a few silver notes, "Everyone has done a good job today, you can take the money and share it."

"Thank you, Master, for the reward." After Jian Qi said that, he retreated.

He himself didn't care about these yellow and white things, but the other secret guards did not care. The master had clear rewards and punishments, and was generous in his actions, which was admired by everyone.

Because Gao Zhuzhu suddenly became stupid and could not testify, his family went to the workshop to make a fuss about it. As a result, Yang Xingyun gave him a good beating. Bai Ruozhu thought to herself, weren't Gao Zhuzhu's family okay? Would Prince Duan be so kind as to let him go? Didn't Gao Zhuzhu want to win sympathy with this?

She asked Cui Fan to send someone to check, and sure enough, the neighbors said they saw Gao Zhuzhu's family coming in and out every day, and nothing happened at all. Bai Ruozhu once again realized the truth. When some people are selfish, they can use anything as an excuse, even the lives of their family members.

However, Bai Ruozhu still asked people to keep an eye on the situation of Gao Zhuzhu's family to see if the stupid Gao Zhuzhu would continue to be stupid. Anyway, she couldn't cure people who were made stupid by the mind-catching technique, but that didn't mean that others couldn't do anything. .
