Crossing town house man and wife

After a flurry of treatment and suppression, except for Ruan Jin, the rest of the Ruan family, including the seriously injured Ruan Ning and the changed Ruan Cheng, were all thrown into a bullock cart and sent out of the Sheriff's Mansion.

When the medical officer bandaged Ruan Ning's wound, Yao Zhong hurried over.

When he asked the guard what happened, the first thing he thought of was to stop Wu Ming and keep the Ruan family in the county guard's mansion.

But Wu Ming was so bored with this group of people from the Ruan family that he directly said a word to Yao Zhong.

"Stay? Yes, just die."

Yao Zhong was taken aback by Wu Ming's words, carefully examined Wu Ming for a few times, and felt that he didn't seem to be joking, so he immediately shut his mouth and stopped participating.

Wu Ming didn't leave the house with Ruan Cheng, seeing that they were all sent out of the courtyard, he kicked Yao Chong out as well.

Soon, only Wu Ming and Ruan Jin were left in the yard.

When she learned that Ruan Jin was going to be left behind, Ruan Huan just sighed, but Yang came out of her madness and looked at Wu Ming with relief, but she didn't know what she thought of.

But no matter what it is, it must run counter to Wu Ming's real intention, otherwise, with her temperament of loving her son like her life, she would not leave Ruan Jin alone without saying a word.

And Ruan Jin was obviously not as optimistic as his mother. Seeing that there were only the two of them left in the courtyard, she simply sat up on her back, looked at Wu Ming with a sneer, and asked first, "What do you want to do with me?"

"Make a game." Wu Ming ignored Ruan Jin's move to seize the initiative, reached out and took out three small gourds from his arms, and threw them in front of Ruan Jin, "Choose one and drink it."

Ruan Jin's face suddenly changed.

Obviously, he knew what was in it.

Or rather, he knew what might be in it.

These three small gourds were not the ones found in the Golden Horn house, and there was no similarity in the slightest except for their size.But it was also because of this that Ruan Jin's face changed drastically, because the three gourds were probably all filled with poison, unlike the three gourds he gave Jin Jiao, there were no drugs and aphrodisiacs to choose from.

In this case, no matter which gourd he chooses, there will only be one.

dead.

"You want to kill me?" Ruan Jin blurted out.

"Isn't this nonsense?" Wu Ming sneered, "You are allowed to attack me, and I am not allowed to retaliate?"

Ruan Jin stared at Wu Ming, and quickly asked, "Have the catkins been exposed?"

"Which catkin is it?" Wu Ming asked suspiciously.

"By the way, you gave her a new name, Jin Jiao." Ruan Jin seemed to have regained her composure, and chatted with Wu Ming calmly, "Actually, I didn't want her to kill you. She originally The purpose is to take care of the dowry concubine, to ensure that she can attract the attention of Yan Junshou, and don't worry about other things after the matter is done. But I didn't expect you to keep Liu Xu by your side, and Yan Junshou would be so kind to you. The two concubines were not interested, and they didn't even want to see each other for the last time. In desperation, I prepared some auxiliary medicine for the concubine. Anyway, the key to in-laws is the child. As long as she can conceive a child, You don't need to dote on me or something. It's a pity that Liu Xu is still too young and inexperienced to seize opportunities..."

"It seems that you have already arranged for Jin Jiao—no, Liu Xu—to explain after the exposure." Wu Ming interrupted Ruan Jin's narration with a mockery, "Who are those medicines for? Definitely better than me."

"Did you think it was for you?" Ruan Jin smiled calmly.

"Don't think so. Just seeing that these medicines are all in the hands of Jinjiao-Liu Xu, not that concubine, I know that these medicines must be used on me." Wu Ming sneered, "Sleeping until the sheriff It's better, but if you sleep with me, it can be more effective, isn't it?"

He doesn't like conspiracies, but that doesn't mean he can't see through them.

As the saying goes, a long illness makes a good doctor, and a person who suffers from a ditch gains a wisdom. Anyone who has been tricked many times will also learn a few tricks to trick people, and temper a pair of sharp eyes.

When Wu Ming saw the three kinds of medicines, he had already thought of several ways to use them, such as using the drugs to stun him, making him and one of Yan Heng's concubines roll together, and then let the county The guards found out.

After such a commotion, even if Yan Heng didn't kill him, he would have to abandon him and drive him out of the sheriff's mansion.

Of course, this is just what ordinary people think.

Based on Wu Ming's understanding of Yan Heng, even if such a thing really happened, Yan Heng would not be willing to let him go, nine times out of ten he would kill the concubine Ji who slept with him, and then kill the witnesses to silence him.

"The poison is just in case." Ruan Jin didn't admit it or deny it, "With Liu Xu's temperament, she can't deal with such cruelty."

"If I kill you, she will probably be able to make up her mind." Wu Ming laughed mockingly.

Jin Jiao's loyalty to Ruan Jin is evident in protecting Ruan Jin when he is about to die.

If Wu Ming didn't find out what was wrong with Jin Jiao before going to trouble Ruan Jin, but directly killed Ruan Jin and let Jin Jiao know, Jin Jiao would most likely avenge his old master regardless.

"It's a pity..." Ruan Jin sighed, but didn't say what it was a pity, and then changed her voice, "Is Liu Xu okay?"

"I don't know." Wu Ming said truthfully, "As far as I guess, it won't be good."

After throwing out the golden and silver horns, he didn't care about their movements anymore, but judging from the evaluation of Yao Zhong by the tortoise shell and others, it might be "better" for those who fall into his hands to die .

"What about you?" Ruan Jin continued to ask, "Do you really get along well with Governor Yan?"

"Actually, you want to ask me if I'm as inhumane as you are?" Wu Ming sneered.

"Can you?" Ruan Jin's eyes were brightened, as if this question made him very excited.

Wu Ming smiled brightly, "I'll tell you if I drank the contents of the gourd."

Ruan Jin was slightly taken aback, then smiled back at Wu Ming, reached out and picked up the three gourds, pulled out all the stoppers, and poured them into her mouth all at once.

There is only water in the gourd, and it is plain water.

"I knew that you couldn't be cruel enough to kill me." Ruan Jin put down the gourd and smiled confidently.

But in the next moment, the smile froze completely and permanently on his face.

"Unfortunately, the me you know is not me."

Wu Ming let go of the dagger that pierced Ruan Jin's heart, and let him fall to the ground with a plop.

It is not so easy to prepare poison, and Wu Ming is not interested in playing Russian roulette with Ruan Jin, all he wants is to die at the moment when he thinks he will survive.

This is a rare taste of Wu Ming, but he rarely has the opportunity to enjoy it.

After all, even if a cat teases a mouse, it may accidentally let the mouse go, and some people should not be treated as a mouse, so Wu Ming usually kills decisively and does not leave any life for the opponent .

But Ruan Jin really annoyed him this time.

A bug who is not as good as a mouse actually wants to use tricks like tricks to plot against him. Even if he doesn't get tricked, the feeling of being humiliated is really uncomfortable.

Therefore, Wu Ming prepared a bug-like death method for Ruan Jin——

At the moment when the lair was in sight, he was trampled to death.

Wu Ming glanced coldly at the corpse on the ground, then turned and walked out of the yard.

Unsurprisingly, Yao Zhong was still standing outside the gate of the courtyard and did not leave.

Seeing Wu Ming coming out, Yao Zhong glanced into the courtyard and smiled helplessly.

"Ma'am..." Yao Zhong wanted to warn him, but then he realized that people are already dead, and it is meaningless to say anything else.

"What's the matter?" Wu Ming raised his eyebrows and asked back.

"It's not a big deal." Yao Chong sighed, "I just want to tell you that Ru Ji has passed away."

"Literally?" Wu Ming asked without surprise.

"It means literally." Yao Zhong replied word by word.

"Where are the others?" Wu Ming asked, "I remember that the Ruan family also has a concubine who is also in Xikuayuan."

The concubine who was willing to marry was married shortly after the new year, but the one who married her was not the officer Wu Ming had expected, but a swordsman under Yan Heng.

Yan Heng mentioned her when chatting with Wu Ming. It is said that life is going well and she is pregnant.

And another concubine who refused to marry has been living in Xikuayuan, and Wu Ming didn't want to pay attention to it anymore.

"Missing." Yao Zhong's tone was mixed with some helplessness.

"Isn't it just missing today?" Wu Ming snorted.

"I just found out that I was missing today." Yao Zhong grinned.But against the golden mask covering half of his face, this kind of smile is a little more weird and terrifying.

Wu Ming twitched the corner of his mouth and didn't ask any more questions.

It was evening when Yan Heng learned about this.

After thinking about it, Yan Heng didn't ask Yao Zhong to bring him back, but only asked him to dispatch a group of servants and servants to serve them with some food.

Yan Heng didn't hide this matter from Wu Ming, and that night, he confessed it voluntarily after being happy.

Wu Ming stared at him coldly for a while, until he saw Yan Heng trembling all over, showing signs of uneasiness, and then said: "The Ruan family's affairs have nothing to do with me, even if they all die, there is no need to talk about it again." Report to me."

After finishing speaking, Wu Ming turned around and put on a look of wanting to sleep.

Yan Heng was slightly taken aback, and felt that Wu Ming's tone was a bit weird, and it didn't sound like he was all angry.

Maybe it's... sour?

Yan Heng was stunned for a moment, but then he couldn't help raising the corner of his mouth, and stretched out his hand to turn Wu Ming, who had already turned his back, back.

"Is Madam annoyed that I take care of the Ruan family, or that I take care of Ruan Cheng?" Yan Heng clasped Wu Ming's waist and asked jokingly.

"What do you think?" Wu Ming asked without answering.

But this kind of rhetorical question is actually tacitly acquiescing Yan Heng's guess, Yan Heng couldn't help but burst out laughing unconsciously.

"It doesn't matter what I say, what matters is how I do it."

Yan Heng turned over and pressed onto Wu Ming again, expressing his attitude and determination with practical actions.

The affairs of the Ruan family have come to an end.

After that day, Yan Heng never mentioned the Ruan family or Ruan Cheng to Wu Ming again, and even Yao Zhong no longer revealed the family's movements to Wu Ming intentionally or unintentionally.

Right now, the most troublesome thing for Yan Heng is food.Even if they raided the homes of a few well-to-do noble families, the food they obtained would not be enough for the whole year. However, all the winter wheat planted last autumn was frozen to death, and the expected spring harvest no longer existed.

The convoys who went out to buy food have also returned one after another, but the food brought back can only be regarded as unsatisfactory.There are not many people who will sell grain in this season. The poor family wants to sell but has no surplus grain, while the rich family has grain but is unwilling to sell it.The team bought back a lot of commonly used medicinal materials, and it was barely a waste of time.

In order to store more grain, Yan Heng had to organize people to go fishing and hunting in the wild, find ways to expand the breeding of pigs, sheep and poultry, and replace rice with minced meat.

This time, Wu Ming didn't interfere with Yan Heng's trivial matters - he is not an omnipotent God, if he said that there is food, there will be a lot of food, and he can't think of a way to intervene, so he adjusted it a little In a moment of mood, Wu Dong was kicked out, and let him go to Shang Gui to deliver the second message.

But before Wudong turned back again, the two natural disasters prophesied by Shang Gui came one after another.
