Chapter 30: Poisoning
"By the way, where are you going next?" At this time, Young Master Brad seemed to think of something, and couldn't help asking.
'Port Villars, let's go there and meet a friend.' The princess replied.
"yes, I heard that it's the largest port on the entire West Coast, so it's going to be very lively, right?" Brad's eyes lit up when he heard this.
'It's all right, it's just that there are too many people, and the road is often clogged...,' replied the princess with a sip of juice.
"Yes, I really want to go and see it...," the eldest young master said with a wistful face.
"Then let's go, anyway, it shouldn't be a problem for the government to travel expenses?"
'You're kidding, money isn't an issue, it's just...' Brad couldn't help but look up at the stairs.
'I can't leave this house yet...,' Brad's tone was a little heavy as he said this, and the people at the table suddenly stopped talking, and everyone understood what he meant behind his words.
'Woo.' Suddenly, Larry at the table erupted into a wail, and then his whole body began to twitch, and everyone was shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly gathered around to see what was going on.
'Larry, Larry.' Brad hugged Larry and called, but at this time, Larry's eyes were closed and his mouth was foaming, and Ah Zi on the side stepped forward to check it and shook his head at everyone.
'There's no help...'
'How so?' Brad asked.
Ah Zi didn't answer immediately, but picked up the ham on the table and smelled it, and then pulled off a little bit and put it in her mouth to taste, and then saw her frown, and hurriedly spit out the minced meat in her mouth, and at the same time said a terrifying result: 'The dish has been poisoned.'
'How is that possible....' Brad looked a little incredulous.
'If you don't believe me, you can find a few more animals to test on.' Ah Zi said confidently, don't look at her usual quiet and introverted, but as soon as she encounters something related to medical Taoism, the whole person's temperament becomes completely different.
Brad hesitated for a moment, then grabbed the servant who was serving the food next to him and yelled, 'What the hell is going on?'
'This.... The servant was visibly frightened, and his whole body was shaking.
Brad looked at him for a moment, and felt that the other man did not seem to be lying, and immediately commanded, 'Quick, call me all the people who have been in and out of the kitchen today, men, women, and children!'
When everyone heard this, they didn't dare to slack off, and it didn't take long for all the people who had been in and out of the kitchen in the morning to arrive, and the cook and maid stood in a whole row, and Brad immediately told him about what had happened, and finally pointed to Larry on the ground and shouted, "Say, which of you did this!?" If I take the initiative to stand up now, I can still count him as turning himself in, and give him a chance to get a light shot, otherwise if I find out... You should understand what it is to poison your master..."
As soon as Brad's words came out, all the servants were frightened, you must know that in most countries in the Eastern Continent, the concept of hierarchy is very profound, and it is simply heinous to kill the master with servants, and once it is discovered, it is often punished by death, who can not be afraid? But after a long time, no one admitted it. Seeing this, Brad became even more angry, and said, "Why, you still refuse to admit it, do you?" Do you really think that Young Master Ben can't do anything about you!?"
When the servants saw that Brad's voice was violent, they immediately retreated in fright, and the last middle-aged man who looked like a cook stepped forward boldly and said, "Young master, we have all served in the palace for many years, and we are deeply favored by Lord Earl and you, let alone do such a rebellious thing as poisoning the food, we don't even dare to think about it."
'Yes, we don't dare to do this kind of thing, even if we dare to do it.' When the servants heard this, they hurriedly echoed it.
'What is the explanation for Larry's death?' Brad asked.
'This... Maybe it's an outsider...' The man who looked like a cook glanced at us as he spoke, and the meaning was self-evident.
'You can just say that a few of us did it.' To say that Ellie's girl really doesn't have sand in her eyes, she immediately sneered when she heard this.
'That's not what the little man meant, that's not what he meant...' the cook hurriedly waved his hand and laughed, but it was evident from the eyes of the servants that many of them were still suspicious of us, but it was no wonder that who made us unknown? In order to clear my suspicion, I immediately stepped forward to defend myself.
"Young master, we were all called by the maid directly from the room for breakfast just now, and we have never been close to the kitchen from beginning to end, let alone touch the dishes, and we have no chance to poison at all, not to mention that we meet you in Pingshui, there is no injustice or hatred, there is no reason to do so, and I hope you will be aware of it."
Brad nodded when he heard this, and said, "Don't worry, I know you didn't do it...", and after saying this, he couldn't help but bow his head and ponder for a while, and then turned to ask the servants.
'Has anyone been in or out of the kitchen today?'
The middle-aged cook replied, "No, since the last incident, Supervisor Grayson has taken care of everyone and has to be more careful in everything recently, especially the diet of several masters, we strictly inspect every dish, and even the materials are carefully selected, if you don't believe it, you can ask Madame's personal maid Nina, she also came to the kitchen to inspect this morning.'
'Wait, you said Nina was in the kitchen this morning?'
'Yes, she said that she had been ordered by her wife to check whether the food was safe, and she walked around the kitchen several times before leaving.'
When Brad heard this, he turned to the butler Grayson and yelled, "Didn't I say that all the men and women who have been in and out of the kitchen this morning will be brought in?" What the hell are you doing here?'
Grayson's face was full of grievances when he heard this: "The young master is angry, it's not that the old slave is not doing his job well, but the lady refuses to let go, and we can't do anything about it."
'Wait, you mean Madame already knows about it?'
'Yes, the old slave reported this to Madame in detail when she went to the earl's chamber to look for Nina, but she said that she would not let us go, and she would not even allow us to enter the house.... Those of us who are in the present don't dare to make mistakes, so we have to ....'
After hearing these words, Brad's face suddenly turned to ashes, and he took a few steps back and slumped in his chair, his lips trembling, as if he had just seen something extremely terrible... Seeing this, the princess and I subconsciously glanced at each other, and immediately understood the whole thing, no need to ask, all the evidence at the moment pointed the finger of the real murderer at one person-Lady Julia, otherwise how could Nina, a little maid, have so much courage? And Mrs. Julia actually chose to protect Nina after learning about the whole thing, which made the whole thing obvious, but I didn't expect that she would really be so ruthless, and she actually had to kill Brad, if it wasn't for the yin and yang, then it was not Larry who fell to the ground now, but Brad himself, you can imagine how this incident will impact the young nobleman's heart.
