"Damn it!"
Shu Xiuhe slapped the table angrily, three days had passed since the Shu family banquet, but Shu Xiuhe became more and more irritable!
At the banquet that day, the father-in-law was already preparing to introduce him to the supporters of the second prince in the afternoon, and he would take him to meet the second prince in a few days, but now because of the death, not only did he not have time to introduce him, but he also made the Shu family make a joke!
That banquet was carefully prepared by him, in order to become a subordinate of the second prince, with Shu Hongxuan's three yuan and first, he believed that as Shu Hongxuan's father, and with the marquis by his side, the second highness would definitely value him.
I don't know that the plan can't keep up with the changes!
Now that I think about it, I am really angry, where can I die, I want to die in the Shu family!
Mei stroked Shu Xiuhe's chest, gave him a smooth breath, and comforted him softly: "Master Hou, after a while, let my father take you to see His Royal Highness directly." ”
Shu Xiuhe was really relieved when he heard Mei say this, he would be angry today, in fact, he also wanted to test Mei's attitude, after all, three days had passed, but his father-in-law seemed to have forgotten about the introduction.
Because Shu Hongxuan became the third yuan and the first, and was also awarded the title of Zhongshu by the saint, he has always been worried that the Mei family will be separated from him because of this matter, and if there is a pimple in his heart, his father-in-law may not be able to take him as before.
Today, after getting Mei's promise, my heart relaxed, and I went to the clean room to wash up comfortably.
Mei sat quietly on the circle chair, looking at the candlelight jumping on the table, the dim light reflected on her face, and her expression was obscure.
......
There was a suffocating smell in the imperial study.
Emperor Chengde looked at Zhong Muchun, the secretary of the criminal department who was standing in front of him, and smiled lightly, "It turns out that this is how my criminal department secretary works for me." ”
Zhong Muchun's back was already wet, and a drop of sweat the size of a bean began to ooze out of his forehead, hearing Emperor Chengde's chuckle, Zhong Muchun could no longer stand, and as soon as his legs bent, his forehead touched the ground and he knelt on the ground.
"The minister is terrified."
"As one of the six departments in charge of the Criminal Department, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, leading my Yulu, in a high position and enjoying the flattery of others, he can't even find out a single case, what do I want you to do?" Emperor Chengde turned his face faster than turning a book, he was chuckling just now, and now his face is expressionless.
Zhong Muchun bowed again, "The minister is guilty." ”
"Give you three more days, you can't find out how the poison is, what kind of poison it is, who is the murderer, you don't have to see me, take off the official hat on your head."
Emperor Chengde said in a calm voice, without the slightest pressure to change books because of such a child's play.
Zhong Muchun bowed again, "The minister's decree." ”
Then he slowly stood up, took a few steps backwards, and then exited the imperial study.
Emperor Chengde didn't speak again, Cai Sande lowered his head even more, since the mysterious death of An Le Houzi, the imperial dining room and the people who served beside Emperor Chengde have been investigated again for the eighteenth generation of ancestors, but if there is a trace of suspicion, he will not see this person again in the next moment, Emperor Chengde will not eat there when he goes to the harem during this time, there is no sign in the harem, and there are already nerves around Emperor Chengde in the previous dynasty.
One day, I can't find out what poison is in An Le Houzi, how is it poisoned, and the people around Emperor Chengde can only be people with their tails between their legs.
At this time, Cai Sande hoped that the Shangshu of the Criminal Department could keep the official hat on his head, which meant that the people around Emperor Chengde could relax their nerves.
......
"Second Highness, what should the old minister do now?"
Zhong Muchun, the secretary of the criminal department who was still training in the imperial study in the morning, quietly came to a mansion in the afternoon and asked the second prince for help.
The second prince's face was gloomy, and a sentence popped out of his silver teeth, "You can't find out?" ”
Zhong Muchun's face is not good, this is the most difficult investigation he has had over the years, if he can't find out, he will lose his official hat, isn't it difficult?
"The poison used by the murderer is very strange, the old minister asked the servant to dissect Chen Mingxin's body, and found that the internal organs had been poisoned and withered, as for what kind of poison was it...... The Imperial Physician didn't have much of a clue either. ”
The second prince was silent for a moment, and then scolded angrily: "The rice buckets in the Tai Hospital can't even find out a single poison!" ”
The second prince turned around a few times irritably and asked, "The people in the Tai Hospital can't find out what kind of poison it is, so what about the antidote?" Can it be developed? ”
Zhong Muchun reminded: "Only the Holy One knows about this matter. ”
The group of people in the Tai Hospital, without the permission of Emperor Chengde, would never reveal half a word.
The second prince slapped his forehead, this matter was too irritable, he forgot the rules of the hospital.
Zhong Muchun looked at the second prince pleadingly, "Second Highness, now...... How do I close my case? ”
"Can't you find out where the money came from?"
Zhong Muchun shook his head, "The silver tickets are all silver tickets with ticket numbers, there is really no clue, Chen Mingxin suddenly began to treat guests to flowers and wine two or three months ago, as for how those silver coins came from, even his little servant doesn't know." ”
Chen Mingxin is so unpopular, in Shangjing, for the powerful, he is not even qualified to remember his name, so that now that he is dead, he can't find the slightest useful clue.
"My father is angry this time, and if I find a lamb to blame, I'm afraid my father will be even more angry. Hello do it yourself, there are still three days left, how much can be found out. ”
After being silent for a while, the second prince said again: "If it really doesn't work, I will arrange a good position for your juniors." ”
The second prince closed his eyes angrily, and the loss of a Shangshu for no reason was too big a blow to his department.
......
"What kind of poison did you kill Chen Mingxin in the first place?"
In a dark inner room, the man who was hidden in the darkness asked the young man sitting across from him.
The young man poured himself a cup of tea slowly, "Didn't you say it, it's a newly made thing, because it is colorless and tasteless, and the materials are precious, so I only got a little, and half of it was used for Chen Mingxin last time." ”
"How long will it take to make this poison in large quantities?"
The young man chuckled: "The medicinal materials needed for this poison are half of the rare medicinal materials that came from the Western Regions and Tianzhu, including blood lotus, snow Xunhua, jade sheng smoke, etc., in addition to more than 20 kinds of poisons such as Ma Zuimu, Thunder Fordii, and Shang Lu, which add up to one or two poisons. ”
The person in the dark sneered: "The precious medicinal materials needed for this poison can probably save many people." ”
The young man said lightly: "The colorless and tasteless strange poison is certainly worth such a price." ”
"Since it can't be manufactured in large quantities, it can only be used as a killer feature. The antidote, did you make it? ”
He is very familiar with the temperament of young people, and every time he develops a new poison, he must develop an antidote before he will carry the poison with him.
"Write out the prescription of the antidote to me, if the criminal department is abolished, at least let the people I have placed in the Tai Hospital have something to gain."
He won't give out the method of making drugs, who knows if there are people who are good at this and get inspired by it, but make more powerful drugs?
Isn't that the person sitting next to him like that?
"In addition, I will prepare a medicinal herb for you and give me the poison."
"Yes, as told." (To be continued.) )
