Chapter 63: Follow-up Operations

Xiang asked directly who was the murderer, due to the urgency, after thinking about it, these interrogations seemed inappropriate, in case it was the hand of this Cui Gonggong, wouldn't he have taken precautions, he should have knocked on the side, peeled off the cocoon, asked the suspicious places little by little, and gathered the suspicious places, then an ironclad evidence would be formed.

"Quick, did the sweet potato make you do this? You have to come out and spare your dog's life!"

Since they all came out, Xiang had to ask as she could, and the fat Ma Wenbing and Liu Ling'er deliberately made a fierce strangulation sound, urging Cui Gonggong to urge the ghost wind one left and one right.

"Ouch, aunts and grandparents, I don't know about this? I just grabbed the medicine according to the pharmacy given by Xiang Niangniang, and although I sent the medicine after the medicine was boiled, I really don't know who gave the medicine in this process." ”

Cui Gonggong said bitterly, the voice is neither male nor female, this is a strange sound that can only be produced by the eunuch's unique vocal cords, it is nothing to listen to Jiuliang, and when I first hear it, I will be covered in pimples, especially Ma Wenbing and Liu Ling'er will be covered in pimples.

"Isn't it true? Do you still want to taste the taste of socks!" Xiang said angrily, the socks shook in front of Grandpa Cui's nose, and the stench wafted into his nose.

"Oh, what's the matter? Mine is true, if there's a lie, then ...... Then let me be a eunuch for the rest of my life!"

In order to prove his innocence, Grandpa Cui had to swear the most poisonous oath, in his eyes, the eunuch is like a maggot living on the, and he is tired and tired and is still coldly scolded, what is Rao's dignity?

"Xiang, ask him what happened to him, how this medicine got to him, maybe he really doesn't know who poisoned it. Ma Wenbing said in Xiang's ear.

So Xiang then asked: "Okay, you are 1510, what have you done since you got the prescription? What have you seen? What have you heard? Especially what did that sweet potato make you do, think carefully, slowly, don't miss any details suspicious." ”

Hearing Xiang's question, Father-in-law Cui had to reminisce and say: "That place Xiang Niangniang asked me to ......."

"What kind of sweet girl?!You also call me sweet potato, a sinister and cunning person, and she also deserves a nice name. Xiang immediately interrupted Cui's father-in-law's words and forbade him to say "Di Xiang Niangniang".

"Yes, yes, it's sweet potatoes that let Xiang Niangniang get the prescription, it's a pharmacy to protect the fetus and calm the nerves, it's very needed, it's Chunzi handed it to me, I don't dare to be careless, so I went to the imperial doctor's hall to grab the medicine, and then sent it to the imperial dining room to decoct the medicine, the whole process I was just an errand runner, and I never participated in the internal doing of the medicine. Cui Gonggong's tone was infarcted.

Ma Wenbing thought for a moment and asked, "Which imperial doctor gave you the medicine? Which imperial chef gave you the medicine? ”

"It's the medicine that Huang Tieya Huang Imperial Doctor gave me, and it's the medicine that Lord Xianyi Imperial Chef personally grabbed for me. Cui Gonggong returned without hesitation, he would not be mistaken about these two people.

After Grandpa Cui finished, everyone was determined, thinking about suspicious people.

"Okay, a few people who have access to medicine know, do you think it would be possible to listen to sweet potatoes under medicine?" Ma Wenbing asked Xiang softly.

So Xiang walked back and forth a few steps, and said while thinking: "This prescription is a sweet potato and begged my mother to get it from the medical fairy Huatuo, because my mother has some friendship with that Huatuo, and Dr. Huatuo is a famous doctor, and there is no motive for poisoning, so there should be no problem with this prescription." ”

"What about Haruko, will he change the prescription?" Liu Ling'er asked.

Xiang shook her head and said: "It's not very likely, Haruko plays with me, watch me grow up, my mother is very good to him, and she won't hurt my mother." ”

"That can only be one of the Imperial Doctor Huang Tieya and the Imperial Chef, Xiang, do you know anything about them?" Ma Wenbing asked, and now only these two people are suspicious.

Xiang shook his head, and then thought: "It stands to reason that these two people have no reason to poison my mother, they have been working in the palace for more than ten years, how can people who are highly respected and whose reputation is more important than their lives be poisoned by the orders of sweet potatoes?"

"That's not necessarily, anyone can fall in front of interests, not to mention that sweet potato is a mother, some power, who dares to offend her? Liu Linger said.

"Do you want to start with Hua Tuo?" Xiang asked in shock, "He is a famous doctor, how can we investigate him?"

"Of course, anyone can be bought, a person with a reputation like this has done something wrong, he must be weak-hearted, we just knock on the side, play the emotional card, and observe the changes in his expression. Liu Linger replied.

Liu Ling'er's wave of analysis is very reasonable, people with weak hearts have no confidence, no matter how disguised they are, there are subtle changes, as long as they observe carefully, they can be found, Xiang and Ma Wenbing thought so.

"Then what about this person?" Ma Wenbing pointed to Gonggong Cui and asked, it was not safe to let it go, and it didn't seem good to continue to lock it up.

Xiang pondered for a moment, shouted at the lame man outside the door, and said, "This person is still locked up here, grandpa and mother-in-law look at him and don't let him run away, by the way, where is the mother-in-law? Why didn't you see her?"

She went to investigate the three wicked men and see what they were doing. You can rest assured that this person will not run out of this house until the truth comes out. ”

The lame man sang a song, but the poor one is Grandpa Cui, and he is still locked up for the truth, but it's okay, this is a big case, since he wants to investigate and hide here, at least it's safe, I just hope that the people who interrogated him are good people and won't kill innocents indiscriminately.

"Okay then, but you also have some heart to investigate that wicked person, they are all very skilled, in case something happens to come to the inn to find us. Xiang agreed, investigate the monk, Taoist priest and nun, there must be a conspiracy to track the capital.

"Xiang'er, don't worry, I've already instructed my mother-in-law to keep her a hundred meters away at all times, and she also deliberately put on makeup, if you see it, Xiang'er probably won't know it." ”

The lame man smiled, the mother-in-law's makeup was like a goblin, and it must be unrecognizable.

So Xiang, Ma Wenbing and Liu Ling'er left the house and returned to the original road, and after discussion, they first answered the inn to reassure Liu Yikou, and then inquired about the residence of Dr. Huatuo, who was a famous doctor, and presumably anyone on the road knew where he lived.

And when the three of them returned to the inn, the time was just right, and Liu didn't have anything, but he was a little unhappy, since he went out to play, why didn't he bring something to eat?

"Why did you leave after you left, and those two people from the Western Regions also left, and there is no competition today, I don't know where they went? ”

Liu said with a big mouth, everyone lives here, and Liu Ling'er has gone out, so the inn can't be empty.

"Daddy, can't we keep an eye on people like this, they don't know what they're doing when they're out? Liu Ling'er immediately responded, what results can be obtained by staring at the inn? Could it be that the two of them were conducting a mysterious experiment in the house and then exploding to produce a poisonous gas to destroy the capital? It is unrealistic to think about it.

"Send someone to follow?" Lin asked with a wink, never thinking of the word "tracking", these two people generally describe perverts who drool when they see nothing.

"Yes, tracking, only tracking can tell what they went out for. ”

Liu Ling'er replied, the idea of tracking was thought of by the three of them on the way back, from the blind man following the monk Taoist and the lame man, the three of them were a little suspicious of the two Western Regions people in the inn and the monk Taoist and the nun What collusion did they have?

"Who do you send?" asked Liu with wide eyes, at this time, he was focused on the competition, and he finally made it to the finals, so he should work hard with all his heart.

"I, I'll follow you, and you're preparing for the game. ”

Xiang stood up and said, tilting his head, tilting his head to kill, very cute, but it has no effect on Liu, maybe it has an effect on Ma Wenbing.

Hearing Xiang's words, Liu thought for a moment, feeling that all this was discussed by the three of them.

"You, aren't you afraid of danger? Can your mother-in-law and grandfather agree?"

Xiang smiled: "Please rest assured Uncle Liu, I will naturally go to my mother-in-law and grandfather, I put on makeup, I am sure they won't recognize it, you see, I have bought a lot of cosmetics, just to track the makeup." ”

Xiang wanted to follow the two people in the Western Regions, but it was also an excuse for himself to go out, otherwise how could he investigate Dr. Hua Tuo without an excuse? As for the two people from the Western Regions, it didn't matter, at most they were two thieves who stole chickens and dogs, how bad could they be?

"Okay, if you want to follow you, just follow it, just pay attention to safety and don't get discovered, Wenbing, Ling'er, let's discuss the finals from tonight, there are still three finals, and there is still plenty of time." ”

Liu Yikou finally said, this incense was originally a companion on the same road, because the relationship with Ling'er is similar to that of sisters, and he also likes it, so he walked all the way to the capital.

The secret on Xiang's body is hidden very deeply, Liu Yikou can't guess it, let alone guess the identity of Xiang is a princess, in order not to cause Liu Yikou's overreaction, Xiang didn't dare to tell him the secret.

At this time, the door opened, and at noon, the second shop delivered the noon meal, not to mention.

......

In the evening, everyone had a full dinner, had a full burp, and began to gather around to discuss the finals.

"Master, how did you compare the previous finals? You go with us first, and we know how to prepare. Ma Wenbing first asked, how is the master often in the palace? I know a lot about everything in the palace, although I am not in the palace now, but I am very concerned about the finals of the food competition.

Liu stroked his long beard, his face was solemn and majestic, and he began to talk eloquently.

"Every year's finals are different, and even the number of people who enter the finals is different, for example, there were only eight people who entered the finals last time, and there are ten people who entered the finals this time, which completely depends on the whimsical ideas. ”

"Then master the finals you left first, right?" Ma Wenbing then asked, for him who had just entered the capital, he was completely a new existence, and he didn't know anything.

"The theme of that year's finals was fish and bear's paws, and I chose one of them to make a dish. Liu Yikou replied that he was also responsible for the ingredient delivery work in that final, so he was very clear about the matter.

Ma Wenbing sank, nothing, remembered the ancient text over there.

"And then, who won the championship?" asked Liu Ling'er curiously.

"Later...... Later, he met a thief, stole all the delicious dishes, and made a mess in the imperial dining room, so he was furious, so there was no champion in that final. ”

"Thieves, how could there be thieves in the palace? Isn't it heavily guarded? Did you catch the thief later?" asked Liu Ling'er in surprise.

"I didn't catch it, that person has a high skill, he came and went without a trace, like a loach slippery, but later someone recognized him, that is, the people in the rivers and lakes called Mr. Bai Eat. Liu replied.

Isn't Mr. Bai Eat the same person he met in the back mountain? They also worshiped each other's good brothers, it turned out that he was the one who made a big fuss about the food competition, Ma Wenbing thought in his heart, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

"Mr. Bai Eat, why does he have such a strange name, what kind of person is he?" Liu Ling'er asked curiously, and he was also curious, only Ma Wenbing had seen Mr. Bai Shi with his own eyes.

Liu sighed: "This person is a very special person, his whereabouts can be heard almost everywhere in Dahua Shenzhou, but few people have seen him, this person has a special good, that is, extremely delicious, as long as there are delicious things there have his existence, so he often steals things to eat, and over time he has the title of Mr. Bai Eat, but the real name is not known." ”

"So that's the case, then Daddy, will he be in the capital this time in the food competition? Liu Ling'er then asked.

Liu Yikou heard Liu Ling'er's question, and said with a smile: "This won't be no, since that time, the vigilance of the palace has been upgraded, and such an important matter as the food competition will definitely strengthen the defense, and even loaches can't sneak in." ”

"Okay, according to Daddy, the topic of this competition is also likely to choose one of two topics, and the topic should not be very strange, but a very precious ingredient. Liu Linger said.
