In the center of the Golden Palace, Lin Meng and others gathered together to discuss the case.

"The food, food, wine and tea of the palace banquet are all the same, we have not been poisoned, and only Dorje was poisoned by the Wuhu envoy, and the poison must be in Dorje's wine and food."

"Dorje's wine is his own, so it must be poisonous!"

The subordinate officials of the criminal Cao nodded frequently, and the straight way was reasonable.

"But the wine is poured into the wine cup and drunk, and the bowls, chopsticks and wine cups used in the palace banquet are all silverware, if the wine is poisonous, why is the wine cup not black?"

"This ......" everyone was silent, and they couldn't answer.

After a while, someone said: "Dorje was not poisoned after drinking, but about a moment after drinking, he ate the food on the table, maybe the wine is not poisonous, but the food is poisonous?" ”

"Then why aren't the silver chopsticks black?"

"This ......," the man couldn't answer.

In the middle of the night, someone pointed to a roast leg of lamb on the table, his eyes were shining, his tone was quite high, and he was very excited, "There must be something wrong with this dish!" ”

The roast leg of lamb has been eaten for most of it, and tooth marks can still be seen on the bones. This dish is prepared by the palace kitchen for the Wuhu messenger, the grassland ethnic people are fierce, eating the leg of mutton is grasped by hand, if any dish is poisonous, the most likely is this dish.

Lin Meng groaned and groaned, and also felt that it made sense, "Test! ”

As soon as he gave an order, the subordinate officials gathered around Dorje's table, afraid that the leg of mutton would be poisonous, everyone looked at the palace people, a eunuch came over tremblingly, picked up the silver chopsticks on the table, plunged into the mutton, and took it out after a while, the eyes of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty stared at the pair of silver chopsticks, Lin Meng and others were shocked - the silver chopsticks were bright and oily, and there was no trace of poisonous black!

"How so?" The subordinate officials of Xing Cao couldn't figure it out.

The court official who proposed that the leg of mutton was poisonous was a little embarrassed, and said to Lin Mengyu: "My lord, these chickens and ducks may have hidden poison, why don't they all be tested?" ”

The court official sent to say that the chickens and ducks were all whole when they were served, and Hu Man might have eaten them with his hands, and all those who caught them with his hands had to be tested for poison.

"Test!" Lin Mengdao.

It's embarrassing to be embarrassed when the palace investigates the case and doesn't do anything, so you have to get busy.

So the palace people began to work, a group of people still stood up to the palace people busy work, a moment later, the silver chopsticks were stained with chicken fat and duck fat, and even the fish belly was probed, and there was still no poisonous black.

Non-toxic in the dish?

Wine is not poisonous, and food is not poisonous, so how did that person get poisoned?

Everyone was puzzled and embarrassed, and was stared at by the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to investigate the case, and it was like a thorn in the back. Lin Meng couldn't help but glance at Du Qing, and couldn't understand why she, a pariah, was so daring to speak and act in front of hundreds of officials.

At this time, Wu Jin returned to the palace with the imperial doctor.

The imperial doctor was followed by the medical boy, who carried the medicine box on his back, and the imperial doctor personally held the medicine bowl in his hand.

"Enlighten the saint, the antidote has been decocted." Wu Jin entered the hall and said.

Bu Xihuan was too lazy to answer, and there were no extra words, Wu Jin led the imperial doctor to Dorje's side, Utu and Bu Darang did not trust the imperial doctor of Daxing, the imperial doctor drank the medicine in front of the two of them, and the two helped Dorje up, and the doctor boy slowly fed the antidote decoction into Dorje's mouth.

Dorje had taken Wu Jin's pill before, and was asleep, the medicine was not easy to feed, the medicine boy was feeding slowly, and the hundred officials watched, and the hall was quiet, and the needles could be heard.

Twilight continued to eat her food, not even asking what poison Dorje had in his body, leaving it to Lin Meng and the others to ask.

Lin Meng coughed and asked, "Xiaguan dares to ask the prince, what poison is in the body of the Ledan's envoy?" ”

"This poison is not a poisonous weed, one of which is Tripterygium wilfordii, which is born in the damp places of mountains and forests, and can be seen in the south and southwest of the Yangtze River." Wu Jin said, smiling lightly, and glanced at Twilight Qing from afar as he spoke.

Twilight's hand under the chopsticks paused slightly, and then continued to eat.

Wu Jin saw that there was a faint movement in his eyes, which added some meaning.

"Jiangnan and Southwest?" Lin Meng pondered for a while, and then asked Wu Jin, "Dare to ask the prince, is this poisonous weed easy to find?" ”

"Easy to find." Wu Jin's voice was gentle, but Lin Meng looked disillusioned when he heard it.

Since it is easy to find, it is difficult to find out the murderer through the source of this poisonous weed.

People were poisoned in the Golden Palace, and the Manchu Dynasty was suspicious of both civil and military affairs, and no matter how difficult the poison was to find, it should not be difficult to find for the hundreds of officials in the palace, but it was just a matter of money. Poisons are hard to find, it's already so hard to find, let alone poisons are easy to find?

"Your Excellency." At this time, the court official who guessed that the leg of mutton and the chicken and duck were poisonous said, "There is no poison in the wine and food, could it be that Hu Envoy is poisonous?" ”

Hearing this, Du Qing raised his eyes and saw that the court official was quite young, and he was not yet enough to stand up, and the white pheasant embroidered in front of the Songmo court uniform should be the criminal Cao member Wailang, from the five rank officials, from the five grades is the lowest grade of the palace banquet tonight, but this person is the most daring to speculate on the case among the criminal Cao officials who are investigating the case in the palace tonight.

Lin Meng didn't understand a little, and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

The man said: "The intention of the lower official is that all the silver utensils used in the palace banquet are also known to the murderer, so he may not dare to put the poison in the wine and food." So, will the murderer put the poison on Hu Envoy? For example, outside the clothes or wine bags, Hu Envoy inadvertently touched the clothes or got it on his hands when he took the wine bag, and ate it in his mouth when he grabbed the leg of mutton, which was poisoned. ”

The subordinate officials of Xing Cao hissed when they heard this, and after a little silence, they nodded in agreement.

"That's right! There is really no trace of poisoning in this way, and it makes sense that there is no poison found on the wine, food and silverware! ”

"In this way, the murderer should be someone who can get close to the envoy of Ledan, and the palace people who pass the food and cloth dishes are the most suspicious!"

If the leg of mutton, the chicken and duck are poisonous, the people in the imperial dining room can't get rid of the suspicion, but if the poison is on the clothes, then the people in the imperial dining room are not suspicious, and the most suspicious is the palace people who send the food cloth dishes in the palace.

The hall began to discuss, and the civil and military officials whispered, and many nodded.

The two palace people who brought food cloth dishes to Dorje were so shocked that their souls were gone, and they knelt down with a puff and said in a loud voice: "The minions are wronged, and the minions dare not poison the Letan envoys even if they have a hundred guts!" ”

"Shut up! Above the Golden Palace, in front of His Majesty, how can you wait and shout! Lin Meng raised his eyebrows.

The two palace people were busy silent, trembling and kneeling, the jade bricks were cold, but they were not cold.

If the real culprit can't be found tonight, the two of them will inevitably become the scapegoats.

Lin Meng's face was gloomy, he hoped that it was the palace people who poisoned him, so he didn't have to offend the powerful people in the court. However, if you want to convict these two palace people, you must first know whether there is poison on Dorje's clothes or wine bags, and when he saw that the medicine boy had just finished feeding the antidote, he said to Utu, the first king of Ledan: "This official suspects that Dorje's envoy's clothes and wine bags are poisonous, and he also asks the envoy to take off his robe and untie the wine bag, and this official will check it." ”

"Why do you have to take off your clothes if you want to do it?" Utu's face was also gloomy, "With your great courtesy, ask my clan's King Kong to be a wide coat in the palace, is it insulting?" ”

"Your clothes are poisonous or not, just soak them in water and use a silver needle to find out." Lin Meng had a smile on his face, but he sneered in his heart, a barbarian is a barbarian after all, and he doesn't understand such simple things.

"What if it's non-toxic? How can you make amends for insulting our King Kong? ”

"If so?" Lin Meng asked rhetorically, but he didn't dare to say too much, and said, "We don't mean to insult, just to test the poison, whether there is a test or not, we can't let go of a clue to investigate the murderer, and I hope Lord Utu knows." ”

After that, Lin Meng said to the palace people in the palace: "You wait to surround the human wall and block the Ledan envoys." ”

The palace people should be, Utu said angrily with a nonsense voice: "No need! Our prairie boys are frank and, not your Daxing! ”

Dorje took the antidote and was still asleep, when Uttu and Buda let them loosen their robes and untie the wine bag for him, and the palace man handed Dorje a large coat and put it on his body, and with trepidation, he presented the suspected poisonous robe and wine bag to the center of the main hall.

At this time, the basin was served, and the palace man put Dorje's robe and wine bag into the water, soaked it for a while, and then took silver chopsticks from the table and plunged into the water.

The hundred officials held their breath and stared at the pair of silver chopsticks, and the subordinate officials of the criminal Cao didn't dare to blink, but their eyes were sour, and the pair of silver chopsticks still didn't see the poisonous black!

"This ...... How so? The subordinate officials of the torture Cao were surprised.

Wine and food are non-toxic, clothes are non-toxic, so where does the poison come from?

"Lord Lin, how do you explain this!" Utu asked angrily.

Lin Meng's face was blue and red, glaring at the outsider who was speculating on the case, and said angrily: "You caused a good thing!" ”

That person was aggrieved, inferred, inferred, self-inferred, and slowly investigated. However, this law does not seem to work in this case, and after some investigation, the facts of the case are untraceable, and I don't know where to start.

"Our tribe's King Kong was poisoned at your Daxing Palace banquet and almost died, can you find out the real murderer of the poison?" Utu got up and looked at the throne, and asked Bu Xihuan, "Your Majesty Emperor Daxing, the murderer is in your palace, and we ask that the murderer be investigated tonight!" ”

Bu Xihuan glanced at Utu lightly, glanced at Lin Meng casually, and asked, "Lin Aiqing may find the murderer tonight?" ”

This question made Lin Meng and the others embarrassed, and they had to argue: "Your Majesty, it takes time to investigate the case, and it is not an overnight thing, and the Ledan's envoy asked to find out the murderer of poisoning tonight, which is really a bit unreasonable!" ”

"Then when will Aiqing find the murderer?"

"This ......" Lin Meng didn't dare to swear to solve the case, so he had to say, "Your Majesty, now that the minister has found out that the wine, food and clothes of the Dorje envoy are not poisonous, how the murderer poisoned the matter, this matter still needs to be investigated in detail." Tonight, except for the New Year, it is cold outside the palace, and Weichen does not dare to ask His Majesty and the princes and adults to wait for a long time in the palace, and the Dorje envoy has just taken the antidote and needs to rest. Therefore, Wei Chen asked His Majesty to go back to the dormitory to rest first, and the lords and Hu envoys could move to the side hall to rest for a while, and the ministers would stay in the palace and then check carefully. ”

So many people are staring, and the drug test is urging this and that, which is really annoying, so it is better to find an excuse to leave.

Utu disagreed, "The murderer is from your Daxing, out of this palace, who knows if he will secretly throw away the poison?" ”

Lin Meng was annoyed when he heard this, his smile was no longer smiling, and he asked in a cold voice: "Then according to Lord Utu's wishes, how should this case be investigated?" ”

"Investigating the case is your business, we don't care, as long as the murderer!" Utu glared at Lin Meng contemptuously, and said to Bu Xihuan, "Your Majesty Emperor Daxing, these courtiers of yours are straw bales, you better change to a smart person." ”

The subordinate officials of Xing Cao were all angry when they heard this, and their faces turned red with anger.

Bu Xihuan smiled and asked, "Then who do you think can investigate this case?" ”

"She!" Utu didn't hesitate to point his finger at Twilight, and with a loud voice, it shook the Golden Palace, "She is the Divine Envoy of Sangzhuo, King Kong's life was saved by her, and she will definitely be able to find out the murderer who poisoned King Kong!" ”

The hall was silent, and all the officials looked at the twilight.
