After rebirth, I will be the royal aunt to the scumbag

Seeing his appearance, Xue Jinruo felt that there was a lot hidden in him.

"Wu County Magistrate, why are you so nervous? Your Majesty and I just want to chat with you about our daily life." She smiled softly, but the smile did not reach her eyes, but contained a chill.

Wu Ergou looked at her appearance, then turned to look at the eighteen punishments on the side, and swallowed involuntarily.

Before he could speak, Xue Xueyao opened the door.

When Xue Xueyao saw Xue Jinruo sitting upright, she immediately raised a smile with concern on her face: "Sister, it turns out you are here. It's easy for me to find you. You just hurt your leg. It's better to lie down. Sitting like this You will definitely be tired, so I’ll give you a squeeze.”

After saying that, she squatted down to pinch her legs.

Xue Jinruo dodged away calmly.

A hint of sinister flashed through Xue Xueyao's eyes, but when she raised her head, she still had a bright smile on her face: "It's okay if sister doesn't want to. I can talk to sister."

When she sat next to Xue Jinruo, she pretended to be surprised and said, "Xue Yao doesn't know that Magistrate Wu is here. I don't know what you are talking about. Xueyao also wants to hear it."

A hint of impatience flashed across Xue Jinruo's eyebrows.

But thinking about Sheng Jingze's attitude a few days ago, she still didn't say anything, but looked at Sheng Jingze aside.

Sheng Jingze frowned slightly, but still did not drive the person out.

"Wu County Magistrate, I have asked people to search your mansion. I didn't expect that your magistrate's mansion would be hiding secrets. Not only that, Lieutenant General Xu even found bones from inside. I don't know what you did." What's the explanation?" He didn't shy away from it, but asked directly.

Although Wu Ergou was worried, he never expected that they would still find his dungeon.

But the dungeon was not prepared for him at all. Even if he wanted to say it, he didn't know where to explain it.

"My lord, I'm unjust -" he kowtowed, "I really don't know what a dungeon is, let alone what a bone is. It must be Master Pang. He must have done something to deliberately frame me."

Xue Jinruo couldn't help but sneer: "County Magistrate Wu, the prince didn't say it was a dungeon, how did you know?"

"Xiaguan...Xiaguan..." Wu Ergou was a brainless person, and he didn't know how to speak after being bombarded by them.

Sheng Jingze had already guessed that he would never reveal the truth so honestly, so he immediately gave Xiao Yi a wink.

Xiao Yi then took out the hot iron and saw that it was about to be stamped on Magistrate Wu's face.

"County Magistrate Wu, I have to press the ball on your face hard, but it won't come off in my lifetime. Even if His Majesty wants to let you go when he returns to the capital, I'm afraid you won't be able to see anyone. Yes." Sheng Jingze had a sneer on his face, which looked very charming.

Magistrate Wu held his breath. For a moment, he could neither advance nor retreat. No matter how he chose today, it would be a dead end.

Xue Jinruo never expected that this man would be a man of character. After thinking for a moment, he finally spoke: "County Magistrate Wu, you are indeed very strict with your mouth. It's strange that His Highness the Crown Prince arranged you in this place——"

When she said this, she specifically glanced at Xia Zhi beside Xue Xueyao, and indeed caught her momentary panic look.

"But you should also know the methods of His Highness the Regent. If he wants to pry open your mouth, it will definitely not only be as simple as a soldering iron. He can also do it by peeling the skin and cramping, or quartering the body into five pieces." She said this. At that time, his eyes were still on Xia Zhi, and he never left her at all.

Xia Zhi was naturally aware of the problem, but still pretended to be calm and didn't say a word.

But Wu Ergou over there was scared to death.

"I said, I said..." He was about to cry but his lower body was wet. "These things are all because of His Highness the Crown Prince——"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xia Zhi who suddenly rushed over.

Although Xiao had quick eyes and quick hands, he still couldn't stop Xia Zhi from throwing something into Wu Ergou's mouth. In an instant, Wu Ergou couldn't even make a sound.

The next moment, Xia Zhi was completely restrained.

Xue Xueyao had never seen such a scene before, and she was already scared out of her mind. She was afraid that she would be questioned by Sheng Jingze later, so she immediately pretended to faint.

"What do you want to do?" Sheng Jingze kicked Xia Zhi on the shoulder.

Xia Zhi immediately spit out a mouthful of blood, with a sneer hanging from the corner of his mouth: "Since I can't hide, I don't have to hide... Your Highness the Regent, I am lurking next to the second young lady of the Xue family, just to assassinate her one day. You, now, you want to know the secret of Luoping County, but I won’t let you do it.”

Xue Jinruo realized that she was going to commit suicide by taking poison, so he immediately went up and grabbed her jaw.

A silver needle was inserted into it, forcing the person to spit out the red pill in his mouth.

"Does Xue Xueyao know that you are doing such a thing?" Xue Jinruo asked with a frown.

She naturally knew that both of them belonged to Sheng Chengjie, but she had to ask someone to admit it personally. As long as she admitted it, Sheng Jingze would no longer trust Xue Xueyao so much.

Unexpectedly, Xia Zhi had guessed what she was thinking, and sneered: "She is such a fool, she must be whatever I say. How could I tell her such a big plan?"

As soon as she said this, Xue Xueyao, who was pretending to be dizzy, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Xue Jinruo knew that she could not get anything out of Xia Zhi's mouth, so she simply put all her attention on Wu Ergou.

She inserted another silver needle and asked Wu Ergou to vomit out the thing just now.

But he saw that it was a Gu worm that was still squirming.

Wu Ergou, who had been unable to make a sound just now, suddenly became able to make a sound.

"Oh my god, my god, does she want my life?" Wu Ergou didn't even know who the person in front of him was, and he was already panicking.

Xue Jinruo was focused on that Gu worm, so how could he have the energy to care about what he said.

A flash of light suddenly flashed in her mind: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Aunt Yang's condition is also because of the Gu worms... If this is true, I'm afraid they are playing a big game of chess."

When Sheng Jingze saw her looking so serious, he couldn't help but feel worried.

"It looks like we are going to stay here for a while longer." A sinister smile appeared on Sheng Jingze's lips.

He has been at ease for so long, and it has been a long time since he encountered an evenly matched opponent.

Unexpectedly, Xue Jinruo shook his head: "No, let's go back to the capital."
