Brother, stop!

Chapter 24 Arrest

Ever since Xu Wenying made the three-day appointment with everyone in the martial arts, the inn has been in a calm state before the storm.

But in the past two days, Li Ruier's mind has been restless. The day before yesterday, she wanted to leave the inn, but was stopped by Uncle Liu. The other party said that it was not safe for her to go on the road alone, and asked her to wait for Xu Wenying to finish the inn. Let's hit the road again.She couldn't evade it for a while, who made herself follow the team like this in the first place.

Thinking that today is the last day, and Li Rui'er found that her whip was missing and could not be found anywhere in the room, she panicked and decided to leave the inn secretly tonight.

"Young Master, today is the last day. Do you know who the murderer is?" Uncle Liu asked anxiously. He was so worried that he couldn't eat or sleep these two days. Apart from staring at Li Ruier, the Young Master I never asked him to do anything else.

"Uncle Liu, after tomorrow, you will be able to sleep peacefully." Xu Wenying said in a confident tone, waving the fan in her hand leisurely.

"That would be great." Uncle Liu saw that he was so sure, so he didn't ask any more questions. Their servants couldn't ask too many questions about the master's thoughts.

That night, when the lights were turned off in the entire inn, Li Rui'er quietly opened the door, slipped through the corridor, half-squatted and half-crawled down the stairs, she saw the waiter dozing in the lobby, and turned around After entering the backyard, she quietly came to the back door. She gently moved the latch, and the door slowly opened in her hands.

"Ah!" Suddenly she exclaimed and took a few steps back.Looking out the door tremblingly, there were a pair of unwavering black and white eyes staring at her.

But not long after the screams sounded, the backyard suddenly lit up. Li Rui'er turned her head and saw Xu Wenying taking the lead, followed by a group of servants carrying lanterns.He raised his hand, and everyone immediately surrounded Li Rui'er.

"Miss Li, where do you want to go so late?" Xu Wenying waved the fan in her hand, chatting leisurely with someone.

"Well...it's too hot, I can't sleep, I want to go out for a walk." Li Rui'er struggled to death, saying reasons that even she didn't believe.

"Oh? It's not safe for a girl to go out for a walk alone at night. If you are not careful, it will be bad if you bump into something unclear." Xu Wenying raised the corners of her mouth wickedly, and looked Said outside the door.

Hearing what he said, Li Rui'er's body jerked violently. Relying on the crowds, she turned her head to look outside the door, but there was nothing there.

"Hey, Miss Rui'er, why are you carrying your burden in the middle of the night? Where are you going?" Uncle Liu suddenly ran over and said to Li Rui'er in a hoarse voice. "Didn't I advise you to wait a few more days before you go on the road with us?"

"Uncle Liu, I, I'm in a hurry to go home." Li Rui'er was so nervous that she couldn't think anymore.

"Oh? Didn't Ms. Li say that she has no relatives and no reason, and is alone." Xu Wenying criticized.

"But I also had a home before, and I'm going back."

"It seems that Miss Li is really a filial daughter who never forgets the kindness of her parents. It has only been two months since Fourth Master Li left, and you have already successfully avenged your father, Miss. It's really a tiger father without a dog girl." Xu Wenying said The smile on her face remained unchanged, but what she said made Li Ruier feel chills in her heart.

"You, you know?" The usual ruddy and delicate face was now as pale as paper.

"I didn't expect that the girl has done so many things since she came to this town. To be honest, I was almost deceived by you. It's a pity that there is no flaw on the surface. It is a flaw." Xu Wenying While speaking, she showed the whip in her hand to Li Ruier.

"So you stole my whip." The other party recognized it immediately.

"Hey, girl, don't be bloody, I picked this up yesterday." Xu Wenying raised her eyebrows.

Upon hearing this, Li Rui'er had no choice but to adjust her tone and said: "I have always carried my whip with me, but it disappeared today for some reason. Since the young owner picked it up, please return it to me."

"Since this whip belongs to Ms. Li, I will naturally return it to the original owner. But before returning it, can I ask the girl to answer a question from Xu?"

"Young Master, please tell me." She looked at the other party's half-smile face, feeling very uneasy.

"Xu saw that the girl's soft leather whip is well-made, slender and flexible, which is really rare, but the mane stained on it reminds me of the pig badger who inexplicably appeared here a few days ago. What's the girl's explanation for this? "Xu Wenying took a long whip in her hand and looked at it carefully, picked up a few dark brown short hairs on the top of the whip, and showed it to Li Rui'er.

"This, that, didn't I lose my whip? I really know where it got this kind of thing." Li Ruier's heart tightened, her eyes rolled around.

"Well, it's already late at night, the girl should go back to her room to rest. Tomorrow, Xu Wenying will meet with everyone in the martial arts world." Seeing Li Ruier's denial, Xu Wenying knew that there was nothing she could ask, and it was in the middle of the night. Consuming it is also a waste of time, so I simply go back to my room to catch up on sleep.

"Hey, go away, let me go, Xu Wenying, Xu Wenying..." Li Rui'er was held up by someone with both hands, and when she saw Xu Wenying walking away without looking back, she simply called her name and shouted, but it was a pity that the figure in front of her It quickly disappeared into the yard.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone gathered in the lobby of the inn after breakfast. Xu Wenying was standing at the stairs, and on the stool beside him was Li Rui'er who was forced to sit down.She sat there with her head slightly lowered, feeling the probing eyes of the people around her, feeling like she was sitting on pins and needles.

"Everyone, three days ago, Xu promised to find out the poisoner and give everyone an explanation. Now that three days have passed, I have already investigated the matter and caught the murderer who killed Hero Wei." Xu Wenying said to everyone with a straight face.

"The murderer Master Xu mentioned is this girl, right?" A woman in Tsing Yi sitting in the front row pointed to Li Rui'er and asked suspiciously.

"Exactly." As soon as Xu Wenying finished speaking, the lobby immediately became noisy.

"He framed me." Li Rui'er raised her head and looked at the crowd with tears on her face: "How dare I, a helpless and helpless weak woman, openly oppose the martial arts and do such poisonous and murderous things? Hand over the murderer within three days, just count on me, unfortunately my parents died early, I have no one to rely on here, even if I suffer slander, no one will stand up for me, my life is really miserable." He said. Then wiped away the tears.

A group of people from all walks of life sitting in the hall, after hearing the girl's cry, couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Several big bearded men immediately opened their mouths to attack Xu Wenying, loudly accusing Taohua Villa of being immoral and bullying a helpless little girl .

Seeing this, Xu Wenying sneered in her heart, this Li Rui'er was really unusual, she messed up the situation with just a few words.He raised his right hand with a cold face, and waited until the din in the lobby gradually subsided, and then slowly said: "Although I, Xu, am a businessman, I also know that words must be believed and actions must be resolute. To embarrass a girl's family. At first, I didn't believe that Miss Li was the one who poisoned her heartlessly, but all the clues Xu found pointed to her. If you are not convinced, girl, how about confronting me in court? It’s better to let the martial arts factions judge the truth.” Xu Wenying turned to look at Li Rui’er as she spoke, and asked her to confront her.

"Since it's something Rui'er has never done, why would I be afraid to confront you?" She looked up at Xu Wenying with an open-minded look.

"Okay, then I would like to ask Ms. Li if the food that everyone was poisoned on the night was made by the girl. I have already asked Mama Wang. Because she ate too much badger meat at noon that day, she went out to see the doctor with food in her belly. She didn't eat it at night. Cook." Xu Wenying asked her.

"Yes, but besides me having the opportunity to poison the food, the waiter who delivered the food can also poison the food." Li Rui'er argued.

"That's right, but the two doctors found the leaves of the drunken flower in the vegetable soup thrown away in the kitchen, but the green vegetable served to the guests that night was cress. The flower leaves and vegetable leaves are very distinguishable. It's not easy to confuse." He continued to ask.

"I don't know how to cook at all. I just watched Wang Ma working hard and kindly helping in the kitchen. That day Wang Ma was not in the back kitchen, and the guests were in a hurry to ask for food, so I had to cook it myself, so as not to miss the job and cause everyone to be reprimanded. I didn't expect to be bitten by you crossing the river and demolishing the bridge now." This Li Rui'er is really sharp-tongued, Xu Wenying couldn't help frowning.

"As I said below, the fresh vegetable that the inn provided that day was water celery, but the poison in Wei Daxia's body that night was different from everyone else's. It was not the drunken flower poison, but the spot poisonous celery that was very similar to water celery. Uncle Qian gave us a gift from the inn. The ingredients for the past ten years have never been missed, and that morning, Mama Wang also confirmed that they were all non-toxic water celery. Poisonous celery, if the girl hadn't secretly changed the ingredients and put in poisonous leaves and poisonous vegetables, would anyone have seen other suspicious people? That afternoon, after Wang Ma left, she was the only one who went in and out of the back kitchen until the evening rest."

"Young owner said that I come in and out, so when I go out, there will be no one in the kitchen. I don't know if someone sneaks in and poisons me at this time." Seeing the tricks, she is very confident that the other party's these are speculations, and there is no real evidence to prove that she poisoned them.

Seeing Li Ruier looking at him provocatively, Xu Wenying felt his breath stuck in his chest and was very oppressed. He snorted secretly, took Li Ruier's long whip from Uncle Liu, and said: "That morning, for no reason, he ran into the house in the backyard. There was a badger, and no one knew when the beast ran in. But I found the mane of the beast on the girl's whip."

"My lady said that I lost my long whip at some point. If someone wants to frame me, they can make a fuss about it." Li Ruier satirized the other party unceremoniously.

"Framed?" Xu Wenying raised the corners of her mouth, looked at the woman in front of her and sneered, "How does the girl know that this pig badger is related to the poisoning incident?"
