When Yu'er said this, the other maids all backed away, leaving only one maid named Ling Cui. "I don't know! I don't know! I didn't do anything! I didn't do anything!" Ling Cui was nervous, shaking her head desperately, and gradually backed away like crazy.Yu'er quickly pulled her back, "Don't be nervous, I didn't say you did it, I just want you to tell me what happened that day."

Looking at Yu'er's requesting smile, Ling Cui was still very nervous, "Young Madam, it's really not me!"

"I know that you all work as maids with Mo Sheng because they are homeless, so Mo Sheng can be regarded as your benefactor, so I believe that you will not frame your benefactor. Now I want to help him and I also need With your help, everyone can tide over the difficulties together!" Yu'er's words made the panicked people see a glimmer of hope, Ling Cui wiped away tears, and said to Yu'er: "That day I took the young master as usual Put the prepared medicinal materials into a jar for frying, and then take it to the young master after frying. I really didn’t put anything in it! I didn’t poison it!”

"So the young master didn't decoct the medicine himself during the whole process, so it's even more impossible to poison him!" Yu'er suddenly stopped her gaze on Ling Cui, it seemed that she was the key to solving the case.

"No! It's not me! It's really not me!" Lingcui thought that Yu'er doubted herself, and became terrified and at a loss.

"I know it's not you, you can't panic now, calm down first, and think about what happened that day besides decoction?" Yu'er grabbed Lingcui's arms to calm her down.

"Decocting medicine..." Ling Cui suddenly felt a pain in her head as she thought about it, "I remembered!" Ling Cui clapped her hands, "I remember that day when I was squatting by the stove decocting medicine, suddenly a person hit me hard from behind. My head, I passed out. Finally, Lingxi woke me up, and when I woke up, I found that nothing had changed, and at that time Lingxi came to urge me to deliver the medicine quickly, so I just poured out the medicine in the jar Take it to the young master."

Lingxi at the side also admitted that Lingcui passed out on the ground that day and went to help her.

"Then the one who knocked you out is the key! Did you see his face clearly?"

Ling Cui shook her head and said regretfully: "No, but at that time I seemed to vaguely see a gold medal and an emerald shaped like a leaf hanging around his waist."

"Take me to see where you decoct the medicine!" Yu'er said quickly.

Because Mo Sheng is a doctor, there is a small room dedicated to decocting the medicine. The room is filled with a strong smell of medicine. There are several stoves in it, but they are rarely used. They are only used when there are a lot of patients.The house is surrounded by a low wall, and there is a tree with luxuriant branches beside the wall.Yue Yu'er suddenly leaned against the table as if herbal medicines wrapped in paper were in a mess.

"Did Mo Sheng prepare these for Xiao Yu?" Yu'er opened one of the packets and found that there was no arsenic in it.Ling Cui nodded, and said, "I just take one of these packs of medicines for decoction, because they are all the same medicine." Yu'er looked around and asked, "The pot used for decoction Woolen cloth?"

"Here." Ling Cui pointed to a jar in a corner.Yu'er opened the jar, and the silver needles turned black immediately after putting them in. "Sure enough, there is a problem here!" Yu'er's eyes lit up as if she saw hope.She thought that if she went to tell the county magistrate that the medicine was not made by Mo Sheng, and the medicine prescribed by Mo Sheng did not contain arsenic at all.But... But the county magistrate will definitely say that Mo Sheng arranged for his subordinates to poison him, so what should we do?

"Hey~ But what does this mean? You can't find the person who knocked you out..." Yu'er began to become uneasy. She thought that she would find the answer if she found the problem, but now Yu'er fell into a trap again. In deep helplessness and confusion.

Seeing Yu'er's confused look, Ling Cui knew that there was no chance to find the real culprit. She smiled reluctantly, but looked at Yu'er with firm eyes, "Young Madam, there is actually another way. That is to put All the crimes are put on me, let me take the blame for the young master."

After Yu'er heard Ling Cui's words, her mind was already in chaos, but now it became even more chaotic. "How can this work? You're so young! You're only going to ruin your life if you do this!"

Ling Cui still smiled reluctantly, looked around and took a deep breath, "Actually, I have long wanted to take the blame for the young master. That winter, after being abused, I was thrown on the snow. At that time, I I feel like I'm about to die, because I can't even feel the cold. If the young master hadn't passed by and rescued me, who was dying, I would have become a lonely ghost. My life was picked up by the young master..." Ling Cui looked at Yu'er with firmer eyes, "Ma'am, I have made up my mind, and I will repay the young master for saving my life back then! Please don't refuse, Ma'am!"

"What's going on here? Who helped me? Is it Yu'er?" Mo Sheng was surprised and delighted, feeling unbelievable.

"Go out if you are told! Why are you asking so many questions?" The jailer sent him away impatiently.

"Thank you..." Mo Sheng followed the jailer and left the cell.Mo Sheng looked back at the cell, that gloomy and dirty place, from the moment he entered to the present, everything was like a dream.But when Mo Sheng saw the other two jailers escorting Ling Cui slowly into his cell, Yu'er burst into tears and was in great pain.Only then did he know that the nightmare hadn't woken up yet!

When Ling Cui walked up to Mo Sheng, she just said softly: "Master, take care!" Then she walked into the cell without looking back.

"What's going on here?" Although Mo Sheng didn't know what happened, he vaguely felt that something was wrong. It was very likely that Ling Cui had come to take the blame for him. Mo Sheng turned around and shouted at Ling Cui.But Lingcui still didn't look back, only tears shed quietly. "Yu'er! Tell me what happened?" Mo Sheng grabbed Yu'er's hand and asked anxiously.Yu'er also bowed her head in silence, then closed her eyes, tears also slipping down quietly.

"Are you still going or not! Believe it or not, I'll lock you back up again!" The jailer pushed Mo Sheng away impatiently.

Thinking of the scenes in the court just now, Yu'er's helplessness and powerlessness intertwined into tears welling up in her eyes.

"My lord! It is true that the little girl poisoned Xiao Yu to death. This matter has nothing to do with Doctor Mo." Ling Cui's acting skills are very superb, but she appeared calm and composed when facing the county magistrate, her voice was very low , but every sound deeply hurt Yu'er's heart.

"Then what evidence do you have?" The county magistrate looked very serious and slightly suspicious.

"When I was poisoned that day, another servant girl happened to see it, and after I poisoned, I hid the remaining arsenic under a tree in the yard. If you don't believe me, you can go and check it, magistrate. "Ling Cui finished all this very calmly, coupled with the evil smile she pretended to show, it is easy for people to believe that she killed people.

"Is what she said true?" The magistrate asked the maid next to Lingcui. The maid nodded in fear, not daring to look directly at the magistrate.Ling Cui touched her secretly, motioning for her to say something.

"Master County Magistrate! The little girl did see that Lingcui added something to the medicine, but I didn't know it was arsenic at the time. I thought it was a kind of medicinal material. I didn't remember it until now, so I..." The servant girl summoned up all her courage , spit out what Lingcui taught her in one breath, and after she finished speaking, her face turned pale, and she couldn't believe what she said.

"Oh, so that's the case! Then why did you poison Xiaoyu to death?"

"It's nothing! I just want to frame Mo Sheng! I want him to die! Why does he abuse me at home, and why is he so nice to a girl? That's why I was so angry that I became murderous." Ling Cui His eyes looked filled with hatred and resentment.

Seeing Aunt Li beside her, Yu'er was not shocked by Lingcui's words, even though her face was full of sadness, and she didn't seem to care about what Lingcui said at all.

Aunt Li saw Yu'er staring at her, so she burst into tears and said, "You...why do you want to kill my daughter! She is just a child, why do you use her..."

"I don't know! I really don't know! I beg you, let my youngest son Xiaoxu go, he is innocent!" Aunt Li knelt on the ground and hugged the leg of the man in black, weeping uncontrollably!

"Go away!" The man in black kicked Aunt Li away, "You can't complete the task entrusted to you! How can I entrust your son to you?" A trace of contempt flashed in the eyes of the man in black.

"I don't know how Doctor Mo's maid would take the blame for him, I really don't know!" Aunt Li covered her wound in agony, but still begged the man in black with pain.

"Since you failed to frame Mo Sheng, then there is no use value!" The man in black took out a sword with a cold light and pointed at Aunt Li. Although he was covering his face, Aunt Li could still imagine the cold unforgiving face.

"There will be a solution! There will be a solution! Give me a few more days, and I will definitely let him go to prison again!" Aunt Li lay on the ground and said weakly, although her heart was full of hatred, but there was no way. No.

"How many days? Hahaha! But it's useless for me to kill you now. I'll give you three more days. If I don't see any results, you can wait to collect your son's body!" The man in black said with all his might. With contempt and sarcasm, the man in black walked out the door after speaking, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Why didn't you stop her?" Mo Sheng looked at Yu'er, the anger and resentment in his heart had nowhere to vent, he wanted to scold but didn't dare to scold, so he could only grit his teeth and clenched his fists.

"Do you think I can stop it? Even without me, he will take the blame for you." Yu'er knew Mo Sheng's mood at this moment, so she comforted him: "Now is not the time to get angry, find out the real murderer That's the most important thing!"
