"You're talking nonsense! My Mazi will never gamble! And he will definitely not borrow money from you!" Old man Liu was furious. He supported himself on his elbows and moved forward. His white pupils stared at Ding Shengcai, looking more and more creepy, like an old beast that was completely enraged. Although he was old and weak, he still had the killing intent and would pounce on the other party and bite off a piece of flesh at all costs.

But he was not a beast, just an old man who had difficulty walking and was blind in one eye, so he had difficulty seeing people.

On the contrary, the one opposite him looked more like a man-eating beast. He didn't howl and cry out for injustice, but just looked down at him with his eyelids drooping, with a bit of madness and complacency, "If you don't gamble in the gambling house, what else can you do? We have seen a lot of such things. The women and old people who come to the gambling house to make trouble all say that their husbands and sons didn't gamble before. They are so many good people, but they were corrupted by our gambling house... It's as if I hired a group of people to pull your good husbands and sons in at the door every day... My two adults, what do you think? To put it bluntly, Young Master Song is also a frequent visitor to our gambling house. Young Master, what else can you do if you don't gamble in our gambling house?"

"You!" The old man was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot. His two eyeballs, one black and one white, looked more and more abrupt and terrifying. He lay on the ground and roared, "You knew it! You knew he was going to--" The words that were almost out of his mouth came to an abrupt end, as if a door that was about to open was slammed shut again, and the glimmer of light disappeared in an instant, and it was still pitch black all around.

Song Wenyuan and Yao Yunfeng looked at each other, and even Song Ziyao noticed something was wrong. "This person is gone, what else is there to hide? The sooner you explain it, the sooner you can find him! What on earth did Liu Mazi come to the gambling house for?"

what did you do?

Yuan Ge lowered his head and stepped on his toes. He suddenly pulled the corner of his mouth, "You are here to deliver spices... Musk, right? Liu Mazi sells smuggled musk, so even if his life or death is uncertain, you, as a father, would not dare to say a word in front of the officials no matter how anxious you are, right?"

The other party suddenly looked up and said, "What musk? I don't know, old man!"

"What musk! Stop talking nonsense, you little girl. My gambling house is running well, why should I sell musk? Isn't this courting death?!" This is Ding Shengcai.

It was rare for the two of them to unite their front.

Ding Shengcai glanced at Song Wenyuan with a stern expression, "Sir Song, I respect you now and call you Sir Song, but your wife is here slandering us small business owners with nonsense... You have seen my body, I can't bear such a heavy accusation."

Lord Song lazily stroked the little white dog, not even bothering to lift his eyelids. After a while, he raised his fingertips and said, "Take it down."

The commander was Yao Yunfeng's men. The officers arrested Ding Shengcai and Old Man Liu without hesitation, and did not even turn back to consult Yao Yunfeng's men...Yao Yunfeng secretly clenched his teeth, thinking that Song Wenyuan had been like a lustful bastard since he got married, and was very unreliable. The little girl said it was musk without any reason, so it was musk? The little girl is a dog? So smart?

Even if it is really that effective... we need both witnesses and physical evidence before we can arrest someone, right?

Lord Yao had a stern face. He walked over and kicked Ding Shengcai in the calf, scolding him in a low voice, "Kneel down! Why are you in such a hurry? Can I wrongly accuse you? I usually just turned a blind eye to the bad things you did. If I really want to settle the accounts, you would have been locked up several times long ago! I can't wrong you!"

Ding Shengcai turned around and howled, very confidently, "How can the crime of smuggling be the same as those petty crimes? It's a capital crime punishable by beheading! It's a death sentence!"

"But you should have died... right?" Yuan Ge tilted his head to look at him, with pity in his eyes, "You borrowed your life, and after using it for a while, do you really think of it as your own?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at Yuan Ge, and then at Ding Shengcai. Young Master Song's movements were particularly large, and he felt that his neck was twisted and hurt. His voice was trembling, "What, what the hell? A borrowed life?"

Just these four words can stir up a huge wave.

Fortunately, the people around had been evacuated, and the gamblers in the gambling house had also slipped away. Apart from the officials and servants present, there was only an old man from the Liu family who was equally dumbfounded. He only knew that Liu Mazi came to deliver musk, and he really knew nothing else... Maybe even Liu Mazi didn't know what the musk he brought was used for.

Yao Yunfeng slapped the other person on the head, "What's going on?!"

Ding Shengcai's momentum suddenly dropped, but he still held on, "What nonsense did you believe? I said she was resurrected from a dead body, do you believe it?"

"I don't believe you!" Another slap in the face without hesitation.

It's not that it's unbelievable... Yuan Ge lowered his eyes and looked at Ding Shengcai who accidentally exposed the truth, and said softly, "I felt strange when I saw you before. You have a kind of deathly aura that is far beyond old age. At first, I just thought you were seriously ill. Until just now, you yelled at me, and I smelled a smell that shouldn't appear on a normal person. Now, no matter whether Liu Mazi disappeared in your place or not, we need to take you back and ask you clearly... What exactly did you eat?"

When she said these words, her voice was gentle, her eyes were slightly restrained, and her long eyelashes covered her eyes. There was a hint of Buddha's nature in her face, which was neither sad nor happy, quiet, compassionate, and merciful.

Ding Shengcai was slightly stunned, and just as he was about to curse, Yao Yunfeng held his head down. This time, Song Wenyuan didn't need to speak, Yao Yunfeng had already called his men to escort Ding Shengcai, the old man from the Liu family, and the two thugs present to the imperial prison.

Yuan Ge was also revisiting his old place. The Jinyiwei tactfully brought in a clean carved chair and carefully prepared a layer of cushion for it. As for their commander... he was already standing obediently aside to serve as a guard for his wife. On the other side stood Lord Yao. This scene was somewhat weird.

The little girl sat upright, petite but full of aura. She looked at Ding Shengcai who was kneeling in front of her and said in a cold voice, "Using virgin blood as a guide and rare medicinal herbs extracted using ancient methods, it can cure stubborn diseases and prolong life... Is that what they say?"

"What are you doing—" The other person looked up, his panic unable to be concealed in the dim candlelight.

Yuan Ge sneered, "That's right... How did I know? I don't know. I only knew that it needed virgin blood and musk, but now I know I was right. Ding Shengcai... You value your life, but you dare to use something that has disappeared for hundreds of years?"
