Chapter 24 Is it really you who did it?
Seeing Ye Qingran being taken away, Ye Guodong and Jiang were extremely nervous. They pulled Ye Zhuoyu and asked, "What's going on with Ran'er? Why did you arrest her? What did she tell you?"
The things involved were too complicated, and he couldn't really figure it out. He couldn't answer them for a while, so he could only comfort them: "It's okay. Ran'er said she will be back soon, so we can feel at ease."
After saying this, he couldn't wait any longer. As promised to Ye Qingran, he went straight out and ran to the government office to beat the drum and complain.
The population of Wan'an County is not large, and it is relatively stable on weekdays. It is even rarer to come to beat drums and complain about grievances. When he made such a fuss, many people came to watch.
The government officials saw him playing drums and had no choice but to go and inform the county magistrate.
The county magistrate thought that one of the common people had been wronged. Although he was still poisoned and his finger was broken, he couldn't ignore it in his position, so he had to have Ye Zhuoyu brought to the court.
"why you?"
The county magistrate recognized him and felt that he had been tricked the first time he saw him.
He was already upset when Ye Qingran threatened to feed this group of people good food and drink. Now that he was poisoned and injured by her, this person still dared to complain?Who is more unjust?
"Sir, my sister didn't make any mistakes and was thrown into jail for no reason. That's why I came to complain."
Ye Zhuoyu had already been mentally prepared and did not panic at all.
Hearing this, the county magistrate was even more angry and gritted his teeth: "Is she still unjust? She poisoned me, wanted to kill me, and now she cut off my fingers, but I just held her tightly in prison Confinement is merciful enough.”
Ye Zhuoyu really didn't expect that his sister had done so many terrifying things, but his face remained unchanged and he said bluntly: "She is just a little girl. Even at the age of getting married, there is no way she can do such horrific things." Come on. When you speak, you need evidence, right?"
"evidence?"
The county magistrate was stunned. He was so angry that he didn't care about the evidence. "You, a sinner, can't comment on this? Just be grateful that I didn't arrest you all! Why don't you go back quickly?"
After saying that, he directly looked at the officer on the side to help him out.
Ye Zhuoyu also discovered that the county magistrate did not catch Ye Qingran's flaws at all. Instead, he got angry and took him away because he failed to catch him.
No wonder Ran'er dared to let him beat the drum to complain, it seemed that he had already guessed this.
Thinking of this, he felt confident in his heart, and once again went to the door to beat the drum and complain.
The county magistrate knew it was him, so he simply ignored him and let him go.
But as time passed, the people watching began to whisper and guess what happened.
What's more, they directly started to say that the county magistrate didn't care about the matter. If they said too much, it would reach the ears of the county magistrate.
As long as the people just talked about it casually, he didn't care at all.But recently the county magistrate passed by Wan'an County and wanted to inspect it. If the county magistrate heard about it, he, a small official, would be in danger.
As a last resort, he could only take Ye Zhuoyu into the cell and lock him with Ye Qingran.
When she saw Ye Zhuoyu, Ye Qingran was not surprised at all. After all, this was all her own arrangement. She just asked him: "How are you? They didn't hurt you, right?"
"No. You, on the other hand, are suffering a lot from being locked up here, right?"
Ye Qingran shook his head to reassure him: "I'm just going to have to deal with you for a while, but I will pick you up soon."
She handed him some food wrapped in oil paper that she had taken out in advance, and told him as usual not to eat anything given by the jailer. Then she started knocking on the cell door to attract the jailer.
"What's the noise?"
"Go and tell you adults, just say that I promise to help him detoxify and I am willing to help him connect his fingers, as long as he can let me and my brother go."
The jailer looked at her doubtfully and refused to open the door.
Ye Qingran raised his eyebrows and said provocatively: "What, you also want your Lord to die quickly?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?!"
The jailer couldn't stand her attack and almost jumped up to scold her, but she interrupted him.
"If you don't want him to die, then why are you still standing there? Why don't you open the door quickly and take me there? If you don't dare, go and ask your elders quickly, don't waste time. Your elders are very fragile, and you can't do much. If you delay for a while, you will die."
She spoke so mysteriously that the jailer was stunned for a moment, and then immediately turned around to report.
Ye Zhuoyu listened to her words and couldn't help but ask her: "Ran'er, are you really doing these things?"
Facing her brother, she had no intention of hiding it: "I did it, but I only did it because he wanted to kill us at first, and now he is eager to kill me. If I hadn't done this, we wouldn't have known it long ago. Where did he die?"
Ye Zhuoyu wasn't stupid either, he understood her intentions, but he didn't expect that her thoughts and methods had changed so much since she came back from the palace, and she was no longer the weak and stubborn sister she used to be.
Before he could think about it, jailers came and took Ye Qingran away.
At this time, the county magistrate happened to be suffering from poisoning. He was rolling around on the bed in pain and kept shouting "ouch".
"How about it? Why didn't the other doctors help you cure the poison? Oh, I forgot, I am the only one who can cure this poison. Then who sent the person who wanted to assassinate me last night? It couldn't be you, right? Lord County Magistrate?"
She dragged out the words "Lord County Magistrate" for a long time, and her tone was full of ridicule.
The county magistrate was suffering from pain at this time and didn't even bother to get angry with her. He could only say patiently and with difficulty: "Get rid of the poison quickly. If you dare to play tricks on me again, I will kill your whole family! Anyway, you will die." , I will drag you to be buried with me even if I die!"
"Oh, I'm so scared~"
Ye Qingran smiled and said, "Okay, now your life is in my hands. You'd better have a good attitude. Otherwise, will you be able to return the favor if I stab you now?"
It seemed that he was really frightened by her. The county magistrate did not even dare to shout. He held back the pain one by one and broke out in cold sweat from the pain.
But this time Ye Qingran really planned to get rid of the poison, otherwise he would really die next time the poison happened.
If you want to take away the whole family, you really have to save his life, otherwise no one will send those officers and soldiers, and they will still be dragged into exile and eventually die on the road.
She pulled out the needle and sealed the magistrate's pulse, which relieved his pain a lot, but she also pricked his acupuncture point to prevent him from moving.
After several attempts, the poison was cured, but she had no intention of letting him relax so much, otherwise she would make him think that he was already well and no longer needed her, so he would still kill her.
"Okay, I will cure the poison for you, and then I will reattach your severed finger."
She rolled her eyes, smiled and took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms.
