Chapter 1183 Being Instigated
Chapter 1183 Being Instigated
Jin Ding didn't say anything. He raised his hand and threw a person tied into a long strip in front of Yan Ruyu.
Everyone looked down and saw that it was a man. His eyes were closed, his face was pale, and there was blood at the corners of his mouth. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
Song Ping quickly reached out to feel for his pulse, and Jin Ting said calmly, "Not dead."
Yan Ruyu knew that he was staring at Old Man Wu, so she asked, "Is it this person who instigated Old Man Wu to file a complaint?"
Jin Ting nodded: "Yeah."
Song Ping said quickly: "I'll go get some water and splash him to wake him up."
In such a cold day, a bucket of cold water will definitely wake you up.
Linlang stepped forward and grabbed the black-clothed man by the collar: "Why do you need cold water? Wouldn't it be a waste to pour cold water on this man?"
After saying that, he slapped the man in black several times with both hands.
There were crisp snapping sounds, and blood was seen everywhere. Song Ping's cheeks hurt just from hearing them.
After a few hits, the man in black was awakened.
Linlang let go of him: "Awake."
Song Ping: “…” Awesome.
The man in black hadn't even opened his eyes yet when he felt a numb pain on his face and pain in all the bones in his body.
Recalling that before, when he came out of Wu's house, he hadn't taken a few steps when he heard someone behind him. Before he could even turn his head, he was knocked unconscious.
When he recalled what had happened, he immediately woke up and found that his mask was gone, his face was swollen, his body was tied up like a dumpling, and his whole body was in pain.
But this is not the most terrifying thing. The terrifying thing is that there are so many people standing in front of him, and all of them have bad faces. The key is that the one in the middle... is the Princess of Zhennan!
this? !
He was a little confused for a moment and couldn't figure out what was going on.
Yan Ruyu saw that he was unfamiliar and was sure she had never seen him before, so she asked, "Who are you?"
"I..." He was about to speak when Linlang slapped him in the face, "My master is asking you, didn't you hear me? Speak!"
The man in black's face was numb from the pain, blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth, and he felt something strange in his mouth. He pushed his tongue against it, and two teeth fell out.
The man in black spoke a little unclearly: "I am a blacksmith, working in a blacksmith shop in the east of the city."
Yan Ruyu asked: "Blacksmith? Why would a blacksmith have any dealings with the Wu family?"
The man in black swallowed his saliva: "I..."
Linlang slapped him twice more: "Speak!"
The man in black was about to cry: "I don't have any dealings with the Wu family."
Linlang said angrily: "How dare you lie!"
Seeing that she was about to hit him again, the man in black twisted his body to avoid her and shouted, "I'm not lying. It's true."
"Then why did you go to the Wu family and encourage Old Master Wu to file a complaint?" Song Ping shouted.
The man in black did not dare to hesitate, for he was really afraid of Linlang's slap: "I was also entrusted by someone."
He said quickly: "The clothes I am wearing and the mask on my face were all given to me by others. They asked me to go to the Wu family and meet Old Man Wu and ask him to file a complaint. What I said was also taught by others."
"I didn't want to go, but he gave me ten taels of silver... it's too much," the man in black said fearfully, "I'm just a messenger."
"Pass on a message?" Yan Ruyu said in a deep voice, "What message? Tell me exactly what you said to Old Man Wu."
Song Ping put his knife against the black-clothed man's neck: "If you dare to miss a word, I'll cut you."
The man in black was so frightened that his whole body was shaking slightly. Fearing that he would be cut, he quickly confessed everything he had said to Old Man Wu, without missing a single word.
Yan Ruyu glanced at Jin Ding, and Jin Ding nodded, indicating that that was indeed what he said.
Song Ping kicked the man in black and said, "You said you were just a messenger, but you dared to spread such a message? You want others to sue the prince and princess and frame our palace?"
"I……"
Song Ping kicked him again: "When the prince and princess opened a porridge restaurant and provided free clinics, didn't you benefit from it? How come you ate the food and got the medicine, and now you spread this kind of news?"
The man in black felt pain and fear, tears streaming down his face: "Princess, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please forgive me!"
Yan Ruyu asked coldly, "Who is the person who asked you to pass on the message?"
"He was also a man in black, wearing a mask. I didn't see what he looked like. I was telling the truth..."
Yan Ruyu asked again: "What kind of money did he give you?"
"It's a ten-liang silver ingot, of very good quality," the man in black blinked, "By the way, I remember when he handed me the silver, his little finger on his right hand seemed to be injured, like..."
He thought for a moment: "It looks like someone bit me."
Yan Ruyu secretly took note of it and said calmly, "Go on, think about it carefully, what other details are there."
The man in black frowned and thought hard, racking his brains, wishing he could recreate the scene of that day.
"He...he doesn't seem to be an ordinary person," the man in black said anxiously, "I mean, he is not the same as ordinary people."
Song Ping frowned: "Isn't this the same idea? Think about it first."
The man in black swallowed his saliva: "That's right, he doesn't look like you, nor does he look like..."
He glanced at Jin Ting and said, "He doesn't look like him either."
Song Ping wanted to scold him again, but Yan Ruyu waved her hand: "You mean, temperament and demeanor."
"Yes, that's what I mean," the man in black nodded repeatedly, "I'm a blacksmith, I forge a lot of weapons, and I've met a lot of men. Like this gentleman..."
He looked at Song Ping: "Although he is wearing a guard uniform, he doesn't really look like a guard. He looks more like a knight."
Song Ping raised his eyebrows slightly. The man in black looked at Jin Ding again and shuddered: "This guy... has much stronger murderous intent."
He looked at Cui Chong again: "You can tell at a glance that you are an official working at the government office."
As he was speaking, Huo Changhe came back, followed by the deputy general who had come to the mansion to report the news last time.
The man in black's eyes lit up and he raised his chin and pointed at the deputy general.
"Like him!"
Yan Ruyu turned around and saw Huo Changhe was puzzled, and the deputy general also looked bewildered.
"What happened?" Huo Changhe stepped forward and looked at Yan Ruyu. Seeing that she was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief. "What happened?"
Yan Ruyu explained the general situation. Before Huo Changhe finished speaking, the deputy general's face turned pale: "Your Majesty, this is not my humble position."
The man in black said, "I know it's not you. The voice doesn't sound like you, and the body shape doesn't look like you. I mean... the temperament and demeanor look like you."
The deputy general let out a breath.
Yan Ruyu thought thoughtfully: "That means... a soldier."
The man in black praised: "Princess, what you said is very true. You are really smart."
Linlang glared at him, and he lowered his head in fear again.
Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe looked at each other, and they understood each other's thoughts tacitly - the person behind the scenes was probably closely related to the person who framed the palace in the first place.
Yan Ruyu was furious. When the first trick failed, she tried a second trick. She framed them once, and now seeing that they had arrived in Youcheng safely and not only did they not die, but they were thriving, she wanted to frame them a second time.
He threw down the knife and encouraged Old Man Wu to file a complaint.
Haha, do you really think she is made of clay?
"Is there any important matter from the prince's side?" Yan Ruyu asked.
Huo Changhe knew from her expression that she was angry.
