Chapter 577
Yi Chuan quietly followed behind Xin Yi, not far or near her alone.

Xin Yi asked: "The king of the county is not here these days, but is it still calm?"

Yi Chuan frowned inadvertently, "Ge Yong came here to interrogate a chicken thief."

Xin Yi snorted: "... Sima Zhao's heart."

Yi Chuan: "I didn't let him see Yu's mother and son."

This is a gloomy young man, speaking concisely and unsmiling, but different from Cheng Cang's calm and restrained, he obviously has a pair of gentle eyes, but they are dimmed by that melancholy face.

His sense of presence is extremely low.

Thinking back carefully, Xin Yi has seen him countless times, but he just can't tell who he is.

She said, "It seems that Mr. Ge has been an official for many years, and his hands and feet are not very clean, so he is so nervous. Fortunately, you are here, otherwise, I don't know what kind of trouble this old fox will cause."

Luan Chuan looked over expressionlessly, "Why did the king of the county disappear?"

The guard cupped his fists, "Yes..."

"What I know and think, I told the county king that day, I don't know what else to say..."

"So what about the smell? How could a son doubt his mother?"

She sneered, "Young Master Qingyu is very good at disguising. I underestimated you earlier."

Listening to his soft and slow words, the smile on the corner of Xin Yi's mouth became colder and colder.

"What's wrong?" There seemed to be a smile in Yu Du's voice, "The old man came to see me just to see me?"

"Let me ask you one last time, do you really know the inside story of Tuofeng Ridge?"

The key inserted into the keyhole made a cold sound, bringing a bone-chilling chill in the silence.

"At that time, I met a distinguished guest on the twelfth floor, who said that he wanted to build a Taoist temple in Tuofengling Mountain. He also said that Tuofengling has a fairy fate, and he will live a long life. He gave me a silver. Please write an inscription for him. , chiseled on the fairy wall. Naturally, I will follow. What I thought of at that time was the "Song of the Cave Immortal" given by my mother. I wrote it for the distinguished guest. He liked it very much, and then gave it to the next party. The inkstone is now on display. On the desk in the inner room at home, if the adults don't believe it, they can take it as proof."

"Master Qingyu, have you ever been to Tuofeng Ridge?"

Opposite her, in the same simple dungeon, sat her son who was in stark contrast to her.He was dressed in clean and tidy prison clothes, his hair was tied neatly, his hands were spread out on his knees sitting cross-legged, and his back was leaning straight against the wall.If he hadn't raised his head suddenly, the unmanageable beard under his chin and the inconceivable astonishment would reveal the embarrassment of being imprisoned at the moment. At first glance, he might think he was the noble son of some rich family.

Compared with Yu's "no explanation", Yu Du did have questions and answers, but none of them hit the point.

He seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, then sat cross-legged in front of Xin Yi, and smiled warmly at her through the cell door:

"Yeah." Yu Du smiled again, "My family is poor and can't afford the medicine, so the herbal medicine I grow myself, my mother eats it, and I eat it too."

"Aristolochia tastes very bad, isn't it uncomfortable to eat?"

Yu Du raised his hands and bowed deeply to Xin Yi and Luan Chuan.

"Even if I could deceive everyone, I would definitely not deceive you. You are my savior. If it weren't for you, I would have died in Bianjing."

Xin Yi looked at his still calm face, and the facial features that were slightly similar to Fu Jiuqu under the dim night light, and pondered for a moment.

Xin Yi said calmly: "The giant Aristolochia flower in your yard is the culprit. Could it be that your mother planted such a strange flower at home, and you have no doubts?"

"I didn't know about my mother's affairs. I was surprised to hear that there were mummies and secret passages hidden in the house. The house in Shuimo Lane was originally rented. Later, the owner moved his family to Bianjing and transferred it to my family at a cheap price. That's all I know."

Is this guy a blank slate, or is he hiding too deep?

The lights in the dungeon were dim, and only a square inch could be seen.

With a bang, the iron door opened, and the flame of the oil lamp reflected the figures in the prison.

Yu Du lowered his head in shame, and said: "I just thought it was a herbal medicine for relieving asthma and coughing blindly. Although it smells uncomfortable, it often has miraculous effects..."

Xin Yi looked at him quietly, through the fence made of iron and wood, as if looking at a stranger.

"When I was young, my family was poor, and I had no money to see a doctor. If I had a cold, my mother would prepare some herbal medicine for me."

"Doctor Xin still doubts me..."

"Doctor Xin is here?"

"Really?" Yu Du suddenly said: "That honored guest, could it be that he lied to me?"

Xin Yi's eyes didn't move, and he looked at him with a half-smile.

Xin Yi hesitated, looked at Xing Yuan beside him, and briefly told him the news Duan Sui brought back.

"My mother made it with sugar and boiling water and fed it to me. It was bitter. But..."

In front of the night duty room outside the iron gate, there were two guards in soft armor sitting. Seeing Luan Chuan and Xin Yi, they quickly got up and saluted.

"Will your mother take it for you when you cough?"

Yu Du shook his head, "No."

Xin Yi was slightly surprised.

Xin Yi said: "There is no Taoist temple in Tuofeng Ridge."

His throat choked, and his voice became much lower.

"Who is the distinguished guest?"

"The king of the county said first that he knew me."

His voice was slightly weaker, as if recalling.

Yu Du shook his head in confusion, frowning slightly.

He paused for a moment, looking at Yu Shi who was motionless in the opposite cell.

"arrive."

Xin Yi stopped talking and looked up.

"What's wrong with the fairy song on the cliff of Tuofengling? I hope you will tell the truth."

Xin Yi sat down slowly, and said calmly:

Xin Yi looked at him silently.

There was a slight smile in Yu Du's eyes, and his expression was softer than before.

"Do you know how you got that disease?"

"Don't you feel sick when you smell that stench?"

Yu's mother and son were guarded separately, one on the left and one on the right were lined up on both sides, and they had to enter through the same iron gate.A few guards in official uniforms were standing outside the iron gate with knives on their shoulders.

She turned her head to signal, Xingyuan brought a stool from the night duty room and put it outside the cell door.

Luan Chuan raised his chin, "Open the door!"

"It turned out to be for this."

Yi Chuan said coldly: "Talk to the princess of the county properly!"

After walking for a while, Luan Chuan suddenly stopped.

"I'm ashamed to say that I drank a lot that day. I remember that he mentioned the name and residence, but when I woke up, I completely forgot about it. What, is there something wrong with the Taoist temple in Tuofengling? Is it related to this case?"

The corners of Yu Du's lips lifted, and he sighed faintly.

Thinking of this, Xin Yi raised his eyebrows slightly.

Xin Yi squinted at his expression, calm and calm, without any fear.

Yu Du hesitated for a moment, with an obscure smile in his black eyes.

As soon as he opened his mouth, his expression was full of tenderness.

Yushi had already fallen asleep, prostrate on the dry straw, crouched and curled up like a corpse.

He looked up at Xin Yi and smiled calmly, "How can there be medicine that is not bitter?"

Xin Yi pursed his lips slightly, "So, the poison of aristolochia in your body is not because your mother sincerely harmed you, but at most it was an unintentional mistake?"

"Heh..." Yu Du laughed.

"In the world there are only fathers who abandon their wives and sons. How can there be a mother who kills her children?"
