At first, everyone was still puzzled. They didn't understand why Li Gui suddenly insisted that he was the one who did it, and his wife didn't seem to believe him.

Until this moment, some people thought they understood.

He Lianzhen looked at Xiao Yuan and said calmly: "Do you think you are the only smart person in this world and others can be deceived by you?"

A line of clear tears flowed down. Xiao Yuan bit his lip, his eyes filled with tears, "Madam, this is not what I do."

Nanny Li raised her right hand slightly and said with a chilly tone, "Come here, take action."

After finishing his words, he took a step back and naturally gave his position to the two people in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them were pulled tightly by their arms.

Xiao Yuan pursed her lips tightly and her mind was spinning rapidly, but in reality, she didn't have that much time to think.

For some reason, she just felt upset at the moment, and there seemed to be an inexplicable emotion affecting her.

Xiao Yuan couldn't see the whip behind her. She could only hear the sound of the whip breaking through the air. The next moment, her whole body leaned forward involuntarily.

After a numbness passed, she felt a sharp pain in her back, and then waves of burning pain spread through her brain.

The area where she was hit felt as if it was about to explode. She twisted uneasily, only to be greeted by the second whip.

She bit her lip tightly, her face instantly turned pale, sweat dropped from her forehead in large drops, and she looked unbearable.

These two blows were like hitting himself. Li Gui couldn't restrain himself at all. He roared softly and struggled to break free from the restraints of his arms.

This time, he suddenly pushed the two people around him away. Taking advantage of their daze, Li Gui instantly pushed the two people away, and then quickly rushed to Xiao Yuan.

His hands were trembling, unwilling to face the facts before him, and he kept muttering something in a low voice.

At this moment, Xiao Yuan was like a deflated rubber ball, falling to the side limply.

He Lianzhen looked at this scene with an expressionless face. She picked up the tea cup on the side and felt a little hot when she entered it, so she put it down gently.

"Is there anything you want to say now?"

Grandma Li on the side also looked very understanding.

The psychological endurance of these two people was too weak. She only used a few tricks, but the man couldn't bear it at all.

Li Gui wiped his face. He raised his head and looked at He Lianzhen intently. He took a deep breath and said, "Madam, all the mistakes were made by the slave and have nothing to do with her. You can't wrongly accuse good people! One person is responsible for everything!" His tone was decisive, leaving no room for doubt.

Aunt Li looked at him coldly and said calmly: "Didn't you say you don't know me? Why are you acting like this now?"

"Since you don't know her, what does it have to do with you whether she is dead or alive?"

Li Guixian was completely confused. He looked at Nanny Li who was speaking, and then turned to look at Xiao Yuan who was already weak. The distress on his face was undisguised.

His face was very painful and he kept shaking his head.

"Since you said you did it alone, then I will give you a chance. As long as you can answer all the questions about the whole matter, I will let her go."

He Lianzhen spoke slowly.

She paused and then added, "There can be no hesitation. Do you dare?"

Li Gui nodded subconsciously, he knew it anyway. "When did you first start taking action?" Helianzhen looked at him silently.

"A month ago." Li Gui blurted out directly.

He Lianzhen: "How did you spread the charcoal?"

Li Gui continued to reply without thinking: "There is a lot of space in the porter's barrel, enough for us to store it, and we transported it all out again and again."

"How did you get in touch with the outside world?" Nanny Li walked slowly to him.

There are clear regulations in the mansion. As long as the slaves are born in the Taiwei mansion, there will be someone to guard them when they come in and out of the mansion ten days a month.

Including those who work, it is not a casual thing to go out during work.

Coincidentally, these two people were both domestic slaves.

Li Gui frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "Since you have already had such thoughts, you naturally left the house secretly." His eyes were a little dodgy, and his head slowly lowered. .

He Lianzhen was silent for a moment, then looked at Li Gui intently, "You hesitated."

Li Gui kept shaking his head and opened his mouth, wanting to explain something. However, at this moment, Xiao Yuan, who was a little weak at the side, forced himself to kneel up straight.

She moved forward until she reached He Lianzhen's feet and then said, "Madam, everything is done by slaves. He doesn't know what he has agreed with others." She endured the pain coming from her back and just said this Both words felt like the wound was about to tear open.

She had only been whipped twice so far. If these thirty lashes had hit her, she would have died on the spot.

She glanced sideways slightly at Li Gui, who was still a little out of sorts, and quickly looked away.

He Lianzhen raised his eyebrows and motioned for her to continue.

Xiao Yuan closed his eyes, took another sharp breath, and showed a sad smile, "It's Nu Qian who shouldn't have had thoughts that he shouldn't have. Nu has been deceiving him from the beginning to the end." Pointing at Li Gui.

"If it's like this, why suffer the pain of flesh and blood." Nanny Li said slowly.

He Lianzhen stood up and fiddled with her clothes, then raised her head and looked at Nanny Li, and said calmly: "You are responsible for finding out the truth as soon as possible, take these two people down, and ask them carefully, tomorrow's Shichen will bring all the lost charcoal and silver charcoal home. I will go to Qingfeng Garden to take a look at Manman and my mother. You go there as soon as possible and take care of her." After saying that, he turned around and left here directly.

Leave full responsibility for the charcoal matter to Grandma Li.

Most of the whole matter was already clear, and she believed that Grandma Li would be able to handle it.

Nanny Li only nodded slightly, "Yes, madam."

Li Gui's eyes widened and he looked at Xiao Yuan in confusion. He wanted to ask, why was it different from what he said before?

Obviously he can take on everything.

Xiao Yuan turned around and smiled at him, "It's useless, we have already exposed our flaws, we can't deceive them like this." He shook his head gently.

For some reason, at this moment, she felt much more peaceful than before.

Nanny Li waved her hand and said, "Come here, take these two people away for me."

The people kneeling below did not dare to make a sound at all, and everyone lowered their heads.

At this time, some people quietly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that it was finally over.
