Chapter 1740 I am a sharp knife 2
"You also find it hard to believe, don't you?" Xu Yu felt a little better after being affirmed. She reached out and wiped the tears from her face and said, "They said that as long as I gritted my teeth and didn't say anything, they would rescue me. They also said that as long as I didn't expose myself, they could send my sister and me away afterwards."
A fierce light flashed in her eyes, and she said word by word: "They are lying, everything is fake."
She had just been sent out from the Ministry of Punishment and treated by Zhou Man, but they couldn't wait to send her brother to threaten her.
She knew what they meant and she would satisfy them, but she would no longer believe them.
Lord Tang, who was thinking in the yard, suddenly thought of something. His eyes lit up slightly, and he turned around and walked into the house.
Manbao was still immersed in Xu Yu's life story, but Xu Yu had already heard the urgent footsteps. She looked up at Zhou Man, her hand resting on the chopsticks in the food box beside her. She said quickly, "Master Zhou, there are five plum trees behind your room. There is a jar under the second tree on the left facing the wall. There is something you want in the jar, and there is medicinal residue buried under the second tree on the right."
Just as she finished speaking, Lord Tang had already pushed open the door and rushed in. He said, "Xu Yu, you are not the Xu family member in Xuzhou... What happened to you?"
He saw tears on both of their faces.
Xu Yu had already put away her expression. She glanced at Master Tang and continued expressionlessly, "Master, I am innocent."
Lord Tang: ...
She looked at Manbao with hope in her eyes. Manbao had also wiped away his tears. Hearing her words, he couldn't help but look up and said, "Xu Yu, Brother Tang can be trusted."
Xu Yu smiled at Zhou Man and said, "Master Zhou, you promised me, right?"
Just as Manbao was about to speak, Xu Yu grabbed the chopsticks on the lunch box and thrust them hard into his neck...
Manbao widened her eyes and subconsciously rushed forward to cover her neck, but Lord Tang was even faster than her. He felt something was wrong when Xu Yu picked up the chopsticks, and he stepped forward to stop her almost in sync with her movements, but he was still a step too late.
He covered her neck, but blood gushed out from his palm in a moment, "You, you——"
Lord Tang watched the witness commit suicide in front of him and was so angry that he couldn't say a word.
Manbao rushed over trembling, and pressed the acupoints on her neck with shaking hands. The blood that gushed out was much less, but it was still flowing out.
Xu Yu couldn't say a word. She stretched out a hand and grabbed Manbao's hand tightly, staring at her.
Manbao nodded in panic, and after nodding several times, he said, "I promise you, I promise you."
Xu Yu moved his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
Manbao couldn't make out what she was trying to say. Keke was also shocked by this scene. After a moment of silence, he secretly connected their brain waves. Manbao seemed to hear Xu Yu saying in her mind: "Don't tell him, don't tell him..."
Manbao's tears fell and he nodded, "I won't tell him, I won't tell him."
Xu Yu loosened his grip on her hand, the light in her eyes slowly dimmed, and her eyes gradually closed. She leaned on Lord Tang behind her like a boneless person. Because of the sudden loss of strength, she slid down a bit.
Lord Tang felt that her neck was no longer beating, and he couldn't help but look at Manbao.
Manbao continued to press her acupuncture points, his face covered with tears and he could not see clearly.
Lord Tang looked at Xu Yu, then at Manbao, and finally sighed and put him on the bed. Then he pulled Manbao up and said, "Go out. I'll have someone come and clean up."
Manbao's hands and feet felt weak. She had seen all kinds of patients and had even performed a dissection on a human stomach. It was clearly just a chopstick stuck in the neck, not much bloodier than the cases she had seen before, but she just couldn't calm down.
Lord Tang also knew that she was still young and was probably frightened, so he simply half-carried her out.
When Eunuch Wu heard the news and came with his men, Xu Yu felt a little cold.
He glanced at the chopsticks on her neck and asked with an unpleasant expression, "Why did she suddenly commit suicide?"
Manbao sat on the railing without saying a word, his face a little dull.
Eunuch Wu turned his head and looked at Lord Tang.
Lord Tang had already guessed something, but he didn't say anything at this time. He just shook his head slightly at Eunuch Wu and said, "Let's restrain the people first."
Eunuch Wu narrowed his eyes and asked, "She confessed?"
Lord Tang glanced at Manbao and said, "No, she said she was wronged."
Eunuch Wu's expression became increasingly ugly, and he was obviously very angry.
At this point, everyone who might have come into contact with Zhou Man's medicine box on the day the Crown Princess gave birth died.
Eunuch Wu tried his best to suppress his dissatisfaction and waved his hand to have Xu Yu restrained. Turning around and seeing Zhou Man in a daze, he sighed and went forward to comfort her, saying, "Little Master Zhou, this matter has nothing to do with you. You are only a doctor. You can cure illnesses, but can you cure someone who wants to die?"
However, Eunuch Wu was still a little confused as to why Xu Yu suddenly committed suicide.
She was very tough before, and he thought she would just be beaten to death or beheaded.
Lord Tang was a little worried when he saw that Manbao ignored him, so he asked someone to call Bai Shan and Bai Erlang.
Bai Shan and the others didn't attend classes after hearing the news and hurried over.
When Manbao saw Bai Shan and Bai Er, he burst into tears.
Not to mention Lord Tang, even Eunuch Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai Shan glanced at Xu Yu who was being carried out, picked up Man Bao and left, "Let's go."
Take Manbao away.
Manbao cried so hard that she even had convulsions. She had seen people get injured, become sick, or even die for various reasons since she was a child, but this was the first time she had seen someone kill themselves.
Facing it so directly, Manbao felt all kinds of emotions, but at this moment he felt more sad and powerless.
Bai Shan took her back to the room, wiped the tears from her face, and let her cry without trying to persuade her.
Bai Erlang was also a little panicked at first, but he didn't even see Xu Yu's face. He only saw a bloody quilt being carried out, so he didn't feel much.
Seeing Manbao still crying, he looked at Baishan with a bitter face, "Aren't you going to try to persuade her?"
Bai Shan: "You persuade?"
Bai Erlang: "I've even encountered assassins and seen many dead people before, so why are you crying so hard this time?"
Manbao looked at the two of them with red and swollen eyes and accused them, "Can't you comfort me and sympathize with her?"
Bai Jilang asked in surprise: "She is not innocent, is she?"
Manbao muttered, "No," she calmed down a little and thought more, "She is a bad person!"
"Then why are you crying?"
Manbao paused and said, "But she could have been a better person. She is only three or four years older than me."
See you at 4 p.m.
