Garcinia winked at the woman who was holding Liu Ying, and the woman immediately understood and took off Liu Ying's western shoes and socks. Garcinia used the tongs to pull out a piece of red-hot silver frost charcoal from the charcoal pot, and stuck it towards Liu Ying's sole!
A sting! The hot charcoal fire marks the fresh skin!
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
Liu Ying wailed like she was lifeless, and large drops of sweat fell from her forehead. She twisted desperately with a ferocious face, but her legs were pressed by her mother-in-law and she couldn't move. She had never experienced the pain of burning her flesh. People simply can’t understand it!
"Garcinia-sama! Garcinia-sama, spare your life!!"
Garcinia took away the hot charcoal, threw it back into the charcoal basin, and said, "Tell me! Who instigated you to murder your wife? If you don't tell me, I will put this hot charcoal on your mouth and let it go." You can never speak again!"
Liu Ying's face turned pale with fright, and her sweat and tears mixed together and flowed down her cheeks and seeped into her mouth, which was salty and astringent!
"Ma'am, please, have mercy on me. I don't dare to do it anymore..."
"You still won't tell me? Garcinia!"
Ruan Shi glared at Liu Ying with a cold eyebrow and signaled Garcinia to take action.
It is impossible for anyone to tolerate someone deliberately trying to kill their own life. No matter how gentle a person is, they will never expose it easily.
After receiving the order, Garcinia took out another piece of charcoal from the charcoal basin, slowly raised it, and aimed it at Liu Ying's mouth.
"No, don't! Don't!" Liuying shook her head desperately, but she couldn't stop the piece of charcoal from getting closer and closer to her face!
Li Qingyi said: "Liu Ying, you have to know that you are just a little slave. Do you really want to fight for someone else's crime of murdering your mistress? If you fight for someone else's crime, you will not get the money, but you will also lose it. Is life worth it? How many benefits can compare with your life? How old are you to die here?"
Liuying trembled even more when she heard this. Seeing that the hot coal had reached her mouth, she screamed: "I said it! I said it!"
Liu Ying did not expect that the wife who was usually gentle, kind and considerate would be so cruel. How could she dare to hide it anymore? Her voice was trembling and her breathing was messy. "It was a middle-aged man. He came to me and asked me if the medicine my wife drank was for treating colds." After taking the famous prescription, he asked me to put some peony bark into the wife's medicine, and then he would give me a sum of money to redeem my life and make me worry-free for the rest of my life..."
"What's his name?"
"I don't know who he is, but I know that he works for the Wei Mansion manager..."
Ruan's face darkened, "Steward of Wei Mansion? How do you know?"
"Suddenly someone came to my servant and asked me to harm someone. Of course I couldn't believe it easily, so I followed that person secretly to find out the other person's details. I saw him going to see the steward of Wei Mansion."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Liuying could speak smoothly.
"Guanshi Xu of the Wei Mansion is from the same hometown as my father, so I know him."
Garcinia sneered at the side, "You are so brave. You actually dare to follow me. Aren't you afraid of being discovered and losing your life?"
"Hmph, she's not very courageous, and she doesn't dare to harm her master for money." Mrs. Ruan's face darkened. This method of using drugs to harm people was not uncommon. Previously, Mrs. Wei used Lin to plot the Li family's wealth. She would not give up and let others do it again. It's not surprising that he came to harm her.
"Besides these, what else do you know?"
Liuying shook her head eagerly, crying and begging: "I don't know anything anymore, I really don't know anything! Madam, I'm just confused for a moment, please spare my life!"
"Do you know what the consequences will be if this peony bark is added to the medicine?"
Liuying endured the severe pain and said: "Madam's medicine cannot touch cold things. After adding this peony bark, Madam's cold will not only not be cured, but will also accelerate her physical weakness. In the end, she will be bedridden." The man said , will give me further instructions later..."
When Garcinia saw that Liu Ying didn't know the details, he was just a villain who was greedy for money and unjust, he said bitterly: "Madam, deal with this maid first. Keeping such a person will be a disaster!"
Hearing this sentence, Liuying shivered and cried out
Said: "Madam, please forgive me! Madam, please forgive me!"
Ruan didn't want to look at her again and said in disgust: "Pull her out and give her fifty heavy blows with a cane!"
A fifty-weight board, Liu Ying, a weak woman, would definitely die.
"Madam! Madam! This slave is wrong! This slave will never dare to do it again!"
When Garcinia heard her yelling, he pulled a rag and stuffed it into her mouth, cursing: "You deserve it! Drag her out quickly!".
"Wait a minute!" Li Qingyi pulled Ruan's sleeve, "Second Aunt, she just said that the other party has further instructions. If we deal with Liu Ying now, wouldn't we be able to alert the snake? Why not use Liu Ying in turn..."
If it was Princess Zhenbei who facilitated her meeting with Master Zhizhen, she would most likely attack the Li family in order to deal with herself and Qin Zeng. Moreover, the word "Grain Ghost" left by Master Zhizhen to the Wei family was also It is very likely to arouse Wei Shicheng's harmful intentions.
Now it is basically certain that Princess Zhenbei and Wei Shicheng are loyal to the same person. The effectiveness of the cooperation between these two people is not as simple as one plus one equals two.
Li Qingyi briefly explained the key points to Ruan in a low voice and said, "We have to think a little more."
Ruan was shocked, and after digesting Li Qingyi's words for a long time, she said, "You mean, maybe this matter is more than just trying to harm me?"
"No matter which one of these two people takes action, the method cannot be so cheap and simple. There must be other deep meanings. But how to do the next thing and whether to do it or not depends on whether Liu Ying will be discovered by us. If we After dealing with Liu Ying, the other party will definitely stop and think of other ways. Instead of guarding against it every day, it is better to follow this thread, hold on tightly, and see what the other party's plan is."
"Okay... let's keep him here first. At least wait until your second uncle comes back and let's discuss it in detail. Garcinia, drag Liu Ying out first and put him in the woodshed."
When Liuying was dragged out, Ruan still couldn't come to her senses: "Yi'er, you mean to say that Lin and Wei Shicheng are in the same group?"
"Nine times out of ten."
Ruan bit her lip, "If these two people breathe out from the same nostril, they will be really hard to guard against..."
"So..." Li Qingyi frowned deeply, "We can't just defend ourselves, we have to fight back!"
Ruan took a slow breath, "What do you want to do?"
"Wei Shicheng is in the court, and we can't reach it. He can just leave it to his second uncle and Qin Zeng. As for Princess Lin, she is able to gain a foothold in the Zhenbei Palace now. In addition to being a good person herself, a large part of the reason is because of the old lady. Trust her..."
