Unfortunately, this person was much more cautious than Wei Jinbao and did not speak again.
Is he afraid that he will involuntarily tell the truth like Wei Jinbao?
This further proves that he has something to hide.
Therefore, this matter is not just as simple as Wei Jinbao slandering A Yao, this man named Zhang also has a hand in it.
"Wei Jinbao, you deliberately slandered your classmates. Do you know that you are wrong?" Supervisor Zhang stared at Wei Jinbao with a serious look.
This Wei Jinbao is more of a hindrance than a help, and he actually took the initiative to tell the truth. In this case, it is no wonder that he was dumped.
Wei Jinbao: "I'm not wrong!"
The effect of the truth talisman had not yet worn off, so he thought so in his heart and said it out loud.
Zhang Jianyuan's face darkened. "You refuse to repent! Come with me!"
He took Wei Jinbao away.
It seemed as if he wanted to scold him alone.
The crowd that had been watching the excitement gradually dispersed. Xue Huan said to Ye Mao, "Thanks to classmate Ye for sending someone to notify me in time today, I made some spicy pork ribs. I wonder if classmate Ye would be interested in coming to my house to try them?"
Ye Mao agreed immediately: "Of course! Sister Xue, I have been coveting your cooking skills for a long time."
Xue Huan was amused and felt that this boy was much more lively in front of her than in front of "Zhao Xiaoxian".
Maybe in his eyes, "Zhao Xiaoxian" is of the same generation as his parents, while Xue Huan, Xue Yao's sister, is only a few years older than him and is of the same age.
The braised pork ribs are spicy but not dry, and the meat is tasty. Take it in your hand and take a big bite, your mouth is full of meat, it’s so delicious.
Ye Mao was extremely satisfied with the meal at Xue's house. After the meal, Xue Huan packed some braised pork ribs for him to take back.
Chili peppers have become popular since the last auction, so it is not surprising that the Xue family uses chili peppers to braise food.
That night.
Xue Huan came to the governor's mansion, Zhang Ying's courtyard.
Coming to the bedside, she set up a soundproofing array to ensure that any movement inside could not be heard outside.
Zhang Ying felt someone slap her face. She woke up dazed and saw someone sitting next to the bed. She was startled and screamed, "Who are you? Someone come here!"
Xue Huan took out a green and lustrous bead, which emitted a bright light in the dark night. It was a luminous bead.
Zhang Ying also saw her face clearly and was shocked: "Why is it you!"
Xue Huan slapped a truth talisman over and asked, "Did you have someone do the injustice done to my brother Xue Yao at the academy?"
When she was interrogating Wei Hongguang earlier, Wei Hongguang said that his backer was the Zhang family. Later, she went to the Tianxia Pawnshop to buy a piece of intelligence on the Wei and Zhang families.
Wei Hongguang's wife was the fifth concubine's daughter of the Zhang family.
The Zhang family was originally just a family of minor officials, but because of the success of Concubine Zhang, all the family members were promoted to high positions and titles, and rose step by step. However, because their background was too shallow and they did not have much money, but they wanted to show off, so the Zhang family came up with a trick to seize a large amount of wealth through marriage so that they could support their own wealthy life.
The partners of marriage are mostly wealthy businessmen.
The Zhang family has power and the wealthy businessman has money, so the two sides hit it off immediately.
This is how the Wei family got in touch with the Zhang family. Over the years, they have often given money to the Zhang family in the name of relatives.
The Welfare Bureau run by the Wei family hadn't been shut down for so many years. Was it true that no one noticed the dirty deeds Wei Hongguang had done? Not necessarily. They were just concerned about the Zhang family behind the Wei family.
In addition, Fengchi County had been controlled by Cai Kuo, and the chief of the entire state was Zhang Shun, who was also from the Zhang family. Even if the people wanted to seek justice, they had nowhere to turn.
Now that the magistrate of Fengchi County has been replaced by the stubborn Zhu Hongda, the atmosphere has suddenly become much clearer.
Wei Jinbao is from the Wei family, and the abbot Zhang also has the surname Zhang. Combined with the truth told by Wei Jinbao, it is easy to guess that A Yao’s wrongful accusation is related to the Zhang family.
Besides Zhang Ying, who else in the Zhang family has a grudge against her?
The previous meeting with Zhang Ying ended in a bad mood, and Xue Huan was wary that Zhang Ying would attack her family. After returning home, she drew defensive talismans for everyone in the family, put them in small cloth bags, and asked them to wear them close to their bodies.
He also secretly arranged for people to guard the embroidery workshop at all times.
But she didn't expect that the first thing to happen was A Yao's side.
Faced with Xue Huan's questioning, Zhang Ying naturally wouldn't tell the truth, but under the power of the truth talisman, she couldn't hide it at all: "That's right."
Zhang Ying:!!!
There was a hint of fear in her eyes as she looked at Xue Huan. Thinking about how loudly she had shouted before, but no one showed up, she finally realized that this Xue Huan seemed to be more than just a peasant girl as she had thought.
She shrank back into the bed in fear, but was pulled over by Xue Huan.
"What are you going to do!" Zhang Ying shouted in a stern but cowardly manner.
Normally, she had guards and servants surrounding her, and even if she encountered any danger, others would step forward to protect her. But this time, there was no one in front of her to protect her.
How could Zhang Ying not panic?
Xue Huan gave her a fake smile, pinched her chin, threw a pill into her mouth, and quickly tapped her throat, forcing her to swallow the pill.
Her series of movements were so fast, and Zhang Ying had never expected her to be so blatant. She was completely caught off guard and when she finally reacted, she was horrified: "What did you give me to eat?!"
She opened her mouth and tried to vomit out what she had just eaten, but it was no use.
Zhang Ying looked at Xue Huan with resentment.
Xue Huan kindly explained, "What I fed you was a heartbreaking poison, and I'm the only one who has the antidote. You have to take it every month, or else your heart will shatter into pieces, and you'll live a life worse than death."
Zhang Ying's heart suddenly tightened, and she stared at Xue Huan's face, trying to figure out whether what she said was true or false.
Unfortunately, the more I looked at her, the heavier my heart felt.
Xue Huan looked so calm that it didn't seem like she was joking.
"Xue Huan, you are so brave! How dare you poison me! Believe it or not—"
Halfway through her words, Zhang Ying had to swallow the second half of her threatening words when she realized that she could die at Xue Huan's hands at any moment.
"Believe it or not? Let your father, the governor, arrest me? Threaten me with my family? Believe me, before that, I only need to make a slight move to make you die on the spot."
A short flute appeared at Xue Huan's fingertips. It was made of white jade, but was actually made of bones.
She blew the flute casually, and Zhang Ying screamed in pain and rolled around on the bed.
"Ah! Don't—"
Xue Huan slowly stopped.
Zhang Ying glared at her with hatred and fear, and the lingering pain made her speechless.
"Now, do you believe what I say?"
How could Zhang Ying dare not to believe it!
I don’t know what this bitch did, but when she blew the flute just now, she felt so much pain!
"As long as you behave yourself and stop causing trouble for me, I will give you the antidote on time. Otherwise—"
Xue Huan curled her lips and smiled like a villainous witch, "Death is a luxury for you."
