Reborn to marry a playboy, the scumbag kneels down and calls me aunt
Chapter 89 Working in vain
Since there is nothing unusual about coconut juice entering the human body, the method mentioned by the Crown Prince's wife is purely theoretically possible. Although Su Liuer will suffer, it is better than waiting to die every day!
Xu Mo walked quickly to the prisoner, grabbed his hand, and said excitedly: "Brother, where do you live? Who else is at home? I am willing to take out a thousand taels of silver and send it to your home."
A thousand taels of silver?
The prisoner showed a look of surprise on his face, and then said in a simple and honest tone: "My name is Cao Can, and I live in Hexi Village, 20 miles northwest of the capital. I have an old mother at home..."
Cao Can was moved to tears as he spoke, "That's great. I can't serve my old mother, but with this money, she can live out her days in peace."
Seeing that the matter was settled, the yamen runners of Jingji Prefecture went up to put shackles and handcuffs on Cao Can.
"Princess, if there is nothing else, we will take the prisoner back to report..."
"Thank you for your hard work. You can go back now."
The two yamen runners bowed and then pushed Cao Can away.
Xu Mo watched the three people leave and sighed, "Brother Cao cares about his mother and is filial. He speaks in a gentle and respectful manner. How could he commit a capital crime?"
Su Xuqing smiled unhappily upon hearing this, and then said, "Master Xu is so sentimental, how can he still have time to care about others?"
Hearing this, Xu Mo's expression was awkward, and then he slowly said, "Thank you, Princess, for treating my wife. I am very grateful."
"You all wait outside. No one is allowed to come in during the treatment."
Su Xuqing put on a white coat and white woven gloves. Her expression was slightly solemn, and she looked like she was going to the battlefield.
Xu Mo looked at the closed door, feeling anxious and pacing back and forth.
Seeing that he was like a headless fly, Bai Zhu couldn't help but say, "Stop wandering around. I'm getting dizzy."
Upon hearing this, Xu Mo smiled apologetically and bowed.
"I'm really sorry, I feel really uneasy."
Bai Zhu sat on the stool, his posture was very calm, "Don't worry, I don't know where the Crown Princess learned her medical skills, but I heard from our Pavilion Master Liang that she can always cure diseases that others can't. Even the eldest princess has consulted her. She is amazing..."
When Xu Mo heard this, he was filled with awe and felt much more at peace.
"You are so lucky to have met the Crown Prince's wife. If it were someone else, and they didn't get the Galaxy Laurel, they would have left right away and wouldn't have come back to care about your life or death."
Xu Mo broke out in a sweat upon hearing this. He was grateful in his heart, but he didn't know what to say.
Time passed unknowingly, two hours passed, the sun set in the sky, and it was already dusk.
Hexi Village is located more than 20 miles outside the capital.
Outside a dilapidated wall, Liang Heng sat on an old tree stump and played chess with a white-haired old man.
There are black and white pieces on the chessboard, crisscrossed with each other. The white pieces have occupied most of the board, and it is only three or five moves for the black pieces to be defeated.
Liang Heng made his moves calmly and without hesitation, while the old man considered each step for a long time.
After three or five moves like this, Liang Heng squinted at the chessboard, then threw the chess piece back into the chess box and said in an unfathomable tone, "So, I told you I couldn't win, right?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, then raised his head with a look of toothache on his face.
"You're such a bad chess player, but you're even more pretentious than me?"
It turned out that half an hour ago, Liang Heng and his party had just arrived at Hexi Village. His men went around to find out where the people who could buy Aconitum lived. Liang Heng had nothing to do, so he sat on an old tree stump to have a rest.
The old man in front of him was passing by and saw that he was dressed like a city person, so he insisted on pulling him aside to have a chat, saying that he wanted to see the ways of the city people.
Liang Heng smiled and said calmly, "I can't win."
The old man was quite angry at the time and felt that Liang Heng was too arrogant, so in order to win the game, the old man put a lot of thought into every move.
As the game went on, the old man discovered that Liang Heng was a terrible chess player and made many stupid moves.
Liang Heng spread his hands, "I told you I couldn't win, but you just didn't believe me."
The old man rolled his eyes and asked, "Who knew you were saying you couldn't win?"
"This is the first time I've seen someone lose a game of chess so confidently."
Liang Heng laughed heartily after hearing this and said slowly: "Go, after all, is just a way to have fun. If you care too much about winning or losing, it won't be very interesting."
Bai Yu had been standing behind Liang Heng for a long time, but he was very tactful and did not disturb his interest. It was not until this moment that he spoke: "Master, the person who bought the Aconitum has been found."
"Where's the person? Why didn't you bring him here?"
"My Lord, according to the villagers, the person who bought the Aconitum poisoned his neighbor and has been imprisoned in the Gyeonggi Prefecture... This person is probably not the one we are looking for."
"In that case, we have worked for nothing today."
Liang Heng showed a helpless look. Two people who bought Aconitum with fake names, one poisoned his wife and the other poisoned his neighbor. Their identities and backgrounds could be traced back to their ancestors for eighteen generations. It was obvious that they were not the ones who poisoned the Duke's wife and framed Su Xuqing.
The old man put away the chess box, smacked his lips and said, "You are talking about that kid Cao Can, right? Alas, I watched this kid grow up. He is a filial son and a coward. Even if he dislikes that fat guy Wang, he would not poison him to death. It's a pity that the government is so incompetent and wrongly accuses a good man."
Right and wrong cannot be determined in just a few words. Liang Heng did not comment and slowly stood up.
"Go back."
The people in Tianxing Pavilion came and went in a hurry, and dust was flying everywhere on the loess paved village road.
In the dilapidated yard, an old woman with red eyes cried, clasped her hands together, and muttered something.
"Buddha, please bless me, please bless me, and give my son a chance to live."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
The old woman opened the door, and standing at the door was a wandering monk with patches all over his body.
"Amitabha, I am passing by your precious place and would like to ask for a drink of water. Is it convenient for you?"
"Convenient, convenient."
The old woman wiped her tears and scooped a ladle of well water from the water tank. The wandering monk took it, raised his head and drank it, chanted the Buddha's name, and then murmured: "Thank you, donor, good people will be rewarded."
The old woman looked bitter. "I hope so."
Zhennan Palace.
Shen Xuanheng changed his clothes at Tianxing Pavilion. He was stunned when he entered the yard. He saw a person lying under the peach tree, staring at the tree.
"Who is this person?"
Xue Tao was in a daze, and when she heard Shen Xuanheng's voice, she came to her senses and said quickly: "Your Highness, this person is... the one who poisoned the Duke's wife..."
"Ok?"
