Chapter 388
Even though the edge of the knife on his leg was still bleeding and his head was sweating, the county magistrate did not dare to do it again. His eyes glanced back and forth at Xue tingji and Pei Ming, trying to remember their appearance in the dark. The stinging pain in his throat made him withdraw his eyes immediately.
On weekdays in the court hall, any minister dares to look at Pei Ming more, Xue tingji can blacken his face. At the moment, his tone is even more like falling into the ice cellar, "don't worry about it, you will be blind later."
The county magistrate was so excited that he did not dare to move any more. Xue tingji withdrew the cloth from his mouth, and the dagger was even tighter.
"Who ordered you to cover up sanlidang?"
"This..." The county magistrate didn't dare to say. Xue tingji was not in a hurry. He leaned over and forced him. The cold light of the dagger was just in his eyes.
"Do you know about the sudden death of the governor of Kezhou? And it's a very strange death. "
Sure enough, the reaction of the county magistrate was too shocked. It seems that it was ordered by the prefect Tian. If so, it would not be wrong to die.
Even without a few more words of proof, Xian Cheng showed his true shape. He was about to wail, but he was reminded by the sharp pain in his throat. Keep your voice down, or he would die.
"Actually, I don't know much about it, just When I first took office, the prefect said hello to me and told me to protect the three li Dang. Even if something happened, don't worry about it, but I didn't really get involved! "
"So what exactly is sanlidang trying? Why try the medicine? "
"I don't know..."
It's time to tell the truth? As soon as Xue Ting wanted to cut it, the county magistrate was flustered. He actually recruited sanlidang to work for Kezhou.
"There is a big family in Kezhou and Kezhou, surnamed Liu, who has been doing some medicine all these years. But I dare not make trouble with what they want to do, so I have never really asked. Only a few days ago, I heard that fat man sanlidang once said that Liu's family is developing rapidly, and we can also raise chickens and dogs to heaven."
Pei Ming nodded after hearing the speech. A few months ago, Liu's family was really beautiful, but once it was renovated, he could no longer enter the court, and there was no future to speak of. Why are chickens and dogs willing to work for them.
But the answer of the county magistrate made her shudder.
"Liu is not afraid of this kind of attack at all. It's just a detour," he said
Make more detours Did you mean to bring her and Xue tingji to Kezhou? So she spent more than half a year thinking that she gave them a fatal blow, but in fact, it was just tickling?
Anger and frustration make Pei Ming breathe more and more heavily. For fear of her heart attack, Xue Ting signals her not to be excited, and then asks the county magistrate what plot Liu is planning.
Unfortunately, the county magistrate really didn't know. He cried for mercy on his face. "Even if you really killed me, I can't spit out any more. If you really want to find out something, you'd better go to Kezhou directly."
This does not need him to teach, Xue Ting by the last forced to ask: "do you have that medicine?"
The ghostly murmur made the county magistrate shiver. At last, he carefully swallowed his saliva for fear that his throat would be cut. "No, that kind of medicine won't be given to outsiders. I'll accept their benefits at most. After all The more you know, the faster you die. "
Ah, he also knows this truth. Xue tingji laughs so unkindly that he reaches out his hand to Pei Ming. Pei Ming tacitly takes out the thing in his sleeve and hands it to him.
I don't know how terrible Xue tingji's expression is in the eyes of Xian Cheng, but she has spare time to taste his evil smile. When she delivers something, her fingertips run through his palm.
This is overt seduction.
It's rare for her to be naughty at such a time. Xue tingji grabs her hand and slowly cleans her up when she goes back.
He patted Xian Cheng's face with the back of his knife and said, "open your mouth." Then he quickly threw the medicine into his mouth, raised his chin, rolled his throat, and waited for the drug to break out.
Unexpectedly, the county magistrate suddenly panicked and was about to scream when Xue tingji held him down. It seemed that he knew the horror of the medicine very well and didn't want to be as insane as those goods.
But those people are also people
After only three or four breaths, Xian Cheng dropped his head like he was out of breath. Xue Ting let go of his hand and explored his breath. "He's still alive."
Pei Ming nodded and said tentatively, "raise your head."
As expected, the county magistrate raised his head, and his eyes were dull, just like those who had been trafficked.
Oh, my God, such a small pill has such a great effect. Moreover, as far as the scale of sanlidang is concerned, the output of this medicine is absolutely not small.
And Liu's purpose is also ready to come out.
Just to control her and Xue tingji.
"Not necessarily. Maybe it was installed." Xue tingji was more alert and handed the dagger to Xian Cheng, "come on, blind yourself."
If he pretended, he would hesitate.
In fact, Xue tingji just wanted to test, and he didn't really intend to move. But to his surprise, the action of Xian Cheng didn't stop at all, even so fast that he almost had no time to stop.
Fortunately, at the last moment, the blade tip stopped less than a centimeter in front of his eyes. Xue tingji could feel that the strength of the county magistrate was really not in disguise.In the dark, Pei Ming's face turned pale. If such powerful medicine was used on the generals, wouldn't it be that two thousand troops were driven by Liu
Knowing her worry, Xue tingji held his hand in the dark. "Their purpose is to lead us to the past. There is no need to hurt them."
However, with this medicine, when the county magistrate is found tomorrow morning, I don't remember meeting them.
After leaving the government office, Pei Ming stood on the roof and took a few deep breaths. He looked up at the last quarter of the moon, but could not tell what it was like.
Liu is so crazy that he wants to control the empress and the emperor, and then control the whole Darong? It's just for this "grand plan" that so many innocent people have been killed. This is The family of the national protector.
It's ironic.
Tired and sad, she frowned deeply, sighed several times, and was gently pressed into her arms by Xue tingji.
"Don't worry, I'm here." His tone was gentle, which was quite different from the cruelty just now. "You said, what danger have we never experienced? Even the towering tower 16 feet high didn't let us fall to death, but God is willing to give us our lives for the second time, and no one can take them away, not to mention Liu. "
Pei Ming smiles in his arms. Yes, they have broken through so many hurdles and barriers. How can they be defeated by others when they are together.
They still need to know more in order to go deep into Qicheng tiger cave, so don't delay. Now let the city warden of sanlidang pay for the evil!
