At noon the next day, just after Luo Lan checked the pulse of the last patient of the morning, Zhang Yuan walked in, twisting one person's arm.
"Kneel down."
When he came to Luo Lan, he pushed the man hard and kicked him in the crook of his legs. The man's legs weakened and he fell to his knees.
Luo Lan looked at him, twitching the corners of his mouth and snorting disdainfully,
"Xiao Feng, you finally showed up."
Xiao Feng suddenly tensed up and kowtowed, looking at a loss.
"The king... the princess came back to find Xiao Feng. What... did she do? The day before yesterday, something happened at my house. I left before I could say hello to the housekeeper A Gang. This is my fault, otherwise, I don’t want this month’s wages, please let me go, Princess!”
Luo Lan raised the corners of his mouth, bent down, looked at him with half-lidded eyes, and asked in a serious voice,
"Want to leave? It's not that easy. Before you leave, you have to explain clearly what you have done. Otherwise, you will never leave here."
Hearing her question, Xiao Feng's eyes blinked a few times in panic, and then he replied in a hesitant voice:
"I...what have I done? Although I didn't have time to say hello when I left, I didn't take away a single needle or thread from Prince Yu's Mansion. What's my fault?"
Seeing that he refused to admit it, Luo Lan snorted coldly, and when his eyes kept rolling around, he suddenly shouted sharply:
"Where did your Wu Du Powder come from?"
Hearing this, Xiao Feng was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly waved his hands and shook his head.
"I don't understand what the princess said. Where is the Five Poison Powder? Xiao Feng doesn't understand."
"You don't want to admit it, right? Then tell me, on the morning when Dazhi was poisoned, Xiaoma suddenly had a stomachache. You happened to meet him and offered to help him deliver porridge to Dazhi. On the way, someone saw you with your own eyes. The liquid in the bottle was poured into the porridge bowl, is this a problem?"
"No."
When Xiao Feng heard this, he raised his head decisively, "Where is the purple bottle? Someone must have framed me, it is obviously a packet of powder."
After saying this, he suddenly realized that he had said something wrong and hurriedly covered his mouth.
"No, there's nothing, no bottle or powder, I made a mistake."
Seeing that he had told the truth and wanted to deny it, Zhang Yuan behind him suddenly kicked him hard on the butt and cursed angrily,
"You've already admitted it, but you still want to deny it? It seems like you really did it?"
Xiao Feng's face suddenly turned blue and white, and he changed his words in a panic.
"No, no, I said something wrong. I didn't do anything. You are misleading me into saying something wrong."
Seeing that Xiao Feng still wanted to quibble, Luo Lan shouted angrily with a serious look on his face,
"Come here, send Xiao Feng to Shuntian Mansion and ask the government official to interrogate him personally. He is guilty of poisoning and causing death."
Hearing this, Xiao Feng was stunned for a moment. He suddenly felt at a loss and kowtowed and begged,
"Princess, please forgive me. I don't want to go to Shuntian Mansion. I still have a blind father to take care of at home. I was wrong. I was wrong. I did something wrong in a moment of confusion. Princess, please forgive me." !”
Looking at Xiao Feng who was kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, Luo Lan knelt down in front of him and asked in a cool and dignified voice,
"Then tell me, why did you want to harm Dazhi? Who asked you to do this?"
Xiao Feng raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He looked like he wanted to say something but didn't dare. He was speechless for a long time.
Luo Lan stood up and walked leisurely in the hall with his hands behind his back.
Ah Hou, who was standing on the other side of him, suddenly raised her foot and kicked him hard on the butt again, roaring at the corner of her mouth,
"If you're not dead, please reply to the princess immediately, or I'll kick you to death."
Xiao Feng let out an "ouch" when he was kicked. He bit his lip tightly, his face turned pale, and he seemed not to know what to do.
Luo Lan stood up in front of him again, condescendingly, and said softly:
"Since you don't say anything, then go to Shuntian Mansion and let the Daxing of Shuntian Mansion serve you!"
After saying this, she was about to open her mouth to call someone, but Xiao Feng begged for mercy again.
"No, no, no, I said, I said."
When he heard that he was going to be sent to Shuntian Mansion for torture, Xiao Feng shook his head in panic and waved his hands, "I said, Princess, don't send me to Shuntian Mansion. I really have a blind father at home who needs to be taken care of."
Luo Lan had no time to watch him perform a show of bitterness, but snorted directly with his nose and asked again,
"Then you should tell the truth while I am still patient. Maybe I can be lenient. If not, you won't be able to get out of Shuntian Mansion just by thinking about it."
But Xiao Feng bit his lip tightly again, as if he didn't know how to speak.
Seeing that Xiao Feng was still hesitant, Ah Hou suddenly raised his voice and said to Luo Lan:
"Princess, this kid is a tough talker. In my opinion, send him directly to Shuntian Mansion, let the red iron mark his body, and roast the meat..."
Seeing this, Zhang Yuan also echoed:
"What's this? I worked in the government office. Do you know waterboarding? It means tying up prisoners who are unwilling to confess, then putting a towel on his face, slowly adding water...adding water...the more water... The more they come, the more difficult it becomes for a person to breathe, and they slowly suffocate, unable to live or die. There is also a kind of criminal method, which is to use hair-thin needles to pierce people's fingernails one by one. Going in, the feeling, hiss! It’s scary just thinking about it..."
After hearing what the two of them said, A Gang also came in and echoed, "I also heard that if a person who enters Shuntian Mansion makes a mistake because his hands are dishonest, he will be punished with punishment. Do you know what pointing is? Punishment? It means cutting off your ten fingers one by one. It is said that a seven-foot man can reach the third one at most and then confess everything. Hiss! It hurts just thinking about it..."
The words of these three people, coupled with their movements and expressions, made Xiao Feng, who was kneeling on the ground, start to tremble.
Luo Lan suddenly said sharply at this moment:
"I gave him a chance, but he refused to say it. Well, send him to Shuntian Mansion."
After saying this, Zhang Yuan was about to step forward to pull him, but he suddenly shouted loudly:
"I said, I said, it was Xiaozhu of the Prince's Mansion who asked me to do this."
He said this out of desperation. Zhang Yuan stopped trying to pull him, and Luo Lan also had a look of astonishment on his face.
She had no idea that this matter would be done by someone from the Prince's Mansion.
The person Leng Yun wanted to deal with was Leng Yu. Da Zhi was not from Prince Yu's palace, so why did he attack Da Zhi? .
This made Luo Lan very angry.
She bit her lip angrily and looked at Xiao Feng, half-lidded her eyes and asked,
"Who told Xiaozhu to do this?"
Xiao Feng shook his head in a panic, "I don't know. He said he would give me one hundred taels of silver after I finished this thing. I was greedy for money, so I agreed. Please forgive me, Princess, and don't send me to Shuntian Mansion." , I was wrong, please spare my life, Princess!"
