Chapter 18 She was poisoned.

 The moment she saw him, Ye Qingran breathed a sigh of relief, which at least meant that she was not really at a dead end now.

  In order not to expose his identity, she followed his words and said, "It's my second aunt. She was poisoned. Thank you to the jailer for the medicine!"

  She spoke loudly so that others could hear her.

  Then she approached Chu Qingyun and lowered her voice: "I need your help with something. Can you help me meet with the county magistrate? There are some things I need to confirm."

  Chu Qingyun didn't ask any more questions, still maintaining the tone of a jailer. Image, he shouted impatiently: "Take some medicine and calm down quickly, don't make any noise if nothing happens!"

  When he turned to leave, he nodded towards Ye Qingran, with teasing and confidence in his eyes.

  Ye Qingran was a little curious about how he managed to come and go freely without disturbing anyone, and even seemed to really allow her to see the county magistrate.

  From this point of view, this man's methods are immeasurable.

  She opened the medicine given by Chu Qingyun and smelled it. There was a faint fragrance and a slight acidity. Not surprisingly, it was indeed the antidote to the poisoning of her second aunt.

  But now that the poison has been eliminated, this medicine is of no use.

  She put the medicine away, and her second aunt and her family didn't dare to ask any more questions. After all, she had just saved someone, and now she had long since lost the confidence to complain.

  Not long after Ye Qingran returned to his seat and sat down, a jailer came and banged on the cell door. He frowned and asked, "Who is Ye Qingran? The county magistrate is looking for you. Come out with me."

  "It's me."

  Unexpectedly Chu Qingyun worked so efficiently that Ye Qingran secretly distributed some food to his family, gave Ye Qinglian's share to Ye Zhuoyu, and told them, "You don't have much food to eat. When you are hungry, just fill your stomach and don't eat from anyone else." I'll be back soon."

  "Be careful," Ye Zhuoyu said in a low voice.

  "It's okay."

  She simply said a few words, then got up and followed the jailer out of the cell door. As soon as she walked out, her hands were chained. Although it was not particularly tight, the metal material would inevitably hurt her hands.

  After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, the jailer brought her to the door of the study.

  "Sir, we're here."

  "Come in."

  The door was opened, and the jailer roughly pushed Ye Qingran in, and then closed the door.

  Fortunately, she reacted quickly and quickly adjusted her center of gravity, otherwise she would have fallen down and fallen into an awkward position.

  "I heard that you have something important to tell me. Tell me quickly. I'm busy."

  The county magistrate looked at the document in his hand without raising his head, and didn't pay attention to her at all.

  Ye Qingran thought about it and guessed how Chu Qingyun got the county magistrate to agree to see her, so he answered accordingly: "Someone poisoned the rotten food sent to the prison. I don't know if this is important." ?" "   Hey

  , it's important? Who knows if you guys are trying to escape from prison? In other words, you are exiled prisoners. Isn't it normal to die on the road to exile?

Qingran's eyes darkened. Although she didn't expect this county magistrate to really solve any problems, his attitude was really annoying.

  "It's okay for exiled prisoners to die on the road, but it's not so common to die in the county government office, right?"

  The county magistrate seemed to have heard a big joke, and burst out laughing: "You are so naive, you are going to die Who can know in prison? Well, if you just want to say this, just go back to the cell and wait for death."

  As he said this, he was about to call someone to take her away.

  At this time, there was a knock on the door, and it was a little maid: "Sir, the tea is ready."     "Come in."

  This maid was pretty and spoke in a coquettish voice, which made the magistrate feel much better for a while.

  When she passed Ye Qingran with tea, she didn't notice Ye Qingran's stretched out arm.

  "Oops!"

  The maid almost spilled the tea on the ground because of her trip. She looked at Ye Qingran angrily. After seeing the shackles on her hands, she said angrily: "This distinguished guest, please be careful. This is a healthy tea for adults."

  "Humph, who is she? Come here, take this prisoner back to the prison and give him a good treat."

  After that, he took a sip of tea.

  Ye Qingran changed his angry look and smiled: "Sir, do you really think poisoning is not an important matter?"

  The county magistrate didn't understand why she suddenly changed her attitude, but he didn't want to hear more from her and was a little impatient: "Where are you, take her away quickly, I'm getting upset just looking at her."

  The jailer waiting outside walked in, grabbed Ye Qingran's arm and was about to take her away, but she suddenly twisted around and broke free.

  "If I step out of this door right now, your lives will be in danger."

  She stood there, still smiling, staring at the tea in the magistrate's hand.

  "Presumptuous! You, what are you talking about? I think you are really impatient!"

  Although the county magistrate did not believe her words, her eyes were terrifyingly calm, and there was no hint of lies.

  Ye Qingran raised his eyebrows and asked him, "Does this tea taste good?"

  "What do you mean..."

  Before he could finish his words, his hand suddenly shook and the teacup fell to the ground, spilling the tea all over the floor. When

  the maid saw this, she exclaimed: "Ah, sir, what's wrong with you?"

  The county magistrate was shaking all over and couldn't speak. Within a moment, he started foaming at the mouth, and his lips turned gray-purple. It was obvious that he was poisoned. , and it's almost the same as the poison in the rotten rice.

  At this time, his expression immediately became painful, and his eyes were horrified: "Poison...poison..."

  Upon hearing this, the maid was frightened and knelt down in tears: "Sir, it wasn't me who did it. You know what's going on..."

  The jailer was also startled and quickly wanted to go out and call the doctor, but was stopped by Ye Qingran.

  "There's no need to go. I was the one who administered the poison, and only I can untie it. If you want to save your lives, untie it for me as soon as possible. If it's too late, you won't be able to save me."

  The jailer hesitated again and again, looking at the county magistrate who was about to suffocate. With a look on his face, he gritted his teeth and unlocked her shackles.

  Ye Qingran rubbed his wrist and walked to the county magistrate unhurriedly: "Let me tell you first, I can temporarily seal the poison, but you must also promise me to thoroughly investigate the poisoning, otherwise I would rather go with You're going to die on the road to exile anyway, so it's not a loss if I trade it with you."

  After saying that, she took out the needle and sealed his acupuncture point. After a while, the county magistrate finally regained his breath. He replied with a pale face: "Okay... I promise you..."

  "You can take care of the rest. I will only give you one day. If you don't get the results I want, prepare to see the coffin."

  Ye Qingran said She put the needle away and strode out. The jailer didn't dare to stop her when he saw this. He could only follow her and make sure she returned to the cell before closing the cell door and leaving.
