In the evening, in a guest room on the southeast side of Gongsun Mansion, two people were whispering. One of them has a "righteous" national character face, and this person is Cai Ye.

Cai Ye said cautiously: "Tonight is a good opportunity to start, are you ready?" ”

"Hmm!" Han Zhang's face was confident, "No matter how smart Gongsun Li is now, he will never be able to find the reason!" Let him taste what it means to be indisputable! ”

"You can't underestimate the enemy, especially Gongsun Li Zai! It's not like we haven't suffered from him! And the most important thing is not to implicate yourself. Cai Ye did not change his style of dripping.

"Yes, if there is no accident this time, it should be possible!" Han Chang is still full of confidence.

"That's good, it's almost time, let's all get ready!" After saying that, the two went their separate ways.

After a while, in another room, two people, one fat and one thin, were chatting happily.

"Master Ling, you are one of the chefs at today's dinner, you have worked hard!" Han Chang sat on the chair and said respectfully.

In front of Han Zhang, there was an obese middle-aged man, a little pot-bellied, probably because he was full all year round and didn't exercise. This person is Master Ling in Han Zhang's mouth.

"Don't dare, it's my duty to cook food for all the adults!" Master Ling is also modest.

"You have worked tirelessly to prepare all kinds of delicious dishes for us, I am really grateful, yesterday's basket of oranges is our little care, I heard that Master Ling thinks the oranges are good, and this Shizi specially sent someone to send a basket over, and asked Master Ling to smile!" After speaking, he took a large basket of oranges prepared in advance from the table next to him and handed it to Master Ling.

"I can't help it, Shizi, you are too polite, you have already sent a basket yesterday, and today you sent it again, how can the villain be embarrassed to accept it?" Master Ling refused with his mouth, but his eyes never left those big, round oranges for a moment. But it's no wonder that he, these oranges are called 'Sunkist oranges', and they were transported from Yufei on the other side of the sea, and I heard Han Chang say that the people of the dynasty sometimes took a boat to that place, and the local people sent them some. He'd already tasted it yesterday, and it couldn't have tasted better.

"Master Ling, you just accept it, be careful, not respectful. It's just that I heard that the more you eat this thing, the more effective it is to lose weight, and it can also be beautiful, it's really a rare baby! ”

"Then I'll thank the son!" Master Ling no longer shirked, thinking that he could lose weight without exercising and continue to eat delicious food, his heart blossomed.

"You deserve it, go ahead and go about your business!"

"Okay!" After saying that, he happily walked out of the guest room with the basket of oranges.

It was getting closer and closer to the official start of the dinner, and people from various schools and families began to enter the guest hall one after another.

This guest hall is really big enough, enough to accommodate hundreds of people, the floor is inlaid with gold silk red carpet, and the beams are hung with wood carved glass colorful lanterns, star-studded. It's really good to say that the Gongsun family has a big business! In the hall are the eight immortal tables, and the tables and chopsticks have been set on the table, and the dishes are almost served.

The sheng drum sounds, and the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra is in the ears, so intoxicating! In a few moments, the guests were almost there.

As the protagonists, Gongsun Li Zai and Gongsun Qi are at the door and are happy to welcome the guests who come into the hall. At this time, a young man with a Ding appearance came over and whispered a few words in Gongsun Lizai's ear, Gongsun Lizai's face changed slightly, and asked, "How can this be?" Take me to see it! After speaking, he hurriedly left the guest hall with the young man.

Cai Ye and Han Zhang, who were in the seats, had been secretly observing Gongsun Li Zai at the door, and they had also seen the scene just now. I saw Han Zhang smirk, and the smile quickly disappeared. As soon as Gongsun Li followed the young man, he asked one of his men to follow him and tell him to follow him to see what was going on.

After a while, Han Zhang's hand stumbled back to the guest hall, his face was frightened, and he shouted loudly: "It's not good, it's not good, it's dead, someone has been poisoned to death!" ”

As soon as these words came out, they were smiling just now, full of spring breeze, and the people who were waiting to enjoy the joy of the feast began to make noise, and the people in the hall were panicked.

"What's going on, you explain it to everyone!" Han Chang said sharply to his men.

"I saw a cook die in the kitchen, bleeding from seven holes, and his death was horrific, and Gongsun Gongzi was there to do an autopsy!" The subordinate replied tremblingly, his body still trembling a little.

"Since he was poisoned, then it may be related to everyone's safety, we can't just let Gongsun Li do an autopsy there alone, in case it is poisoned by him, what if he wants to destroy the corpse and destroy the traces, let him bring the dead body to the guest hall, we have to look at it clearly!" Han Zhang took the lead in taking advantage of the chaos to make a fuss, and even called Gongsun Li Zai's name, trying his best to make things bigger.

"Yes, we need to know the situation, we can't be unclear!" Someone began to chim.

"Yes, let him come to the main hall!" The crowd shouted.

Gongsun Li, who was watching the corpse examination in the kitchen, heard the noise from the guest hall again, because the kitchen was relatively close to the guest hall. Unexpectedly, such a thing happened when the dinner party was about to start, and he wanted to keep quiet and wait for the truth to be found out before explaining it to everyone, so as not to panic. I can't keep quiet now.

"Has it been tested and what is the cause of death?" Gongsun Li asked again.

"Look at his symptoms should be arsenic poisoning, but the specific cause will not be known until the autopsy is carried out, I don't know if it is necessary to dissect the corpse now or what, give an order!" He asked Gongsun Li if he would continue.

"Wait a minute!" Gongsun Li is also a little puzzled now, how could this cook be poisoned for no reason? He was sure that it wasn't because he had eaten the dishes that were about to be served at the dinner party, for he had them all checked with silver needles, and the silver needles didn't change color. So what is the reason that there are other people who want to poison this Master Ling alone?

The noise in the guest hall is getting louder and louder, and it seems that we can only go to the guest hall for an autopsy at everyone's request. Gongsun Li asked people to tidy up again, and asked someone to carry the body to the guest hall as it was, and the servant also followed.

When everyone saw the corpse in the temple, the expressions on their faces became even more frightened, and some even looked disgusted.

"This is arsenic poisoning, arsenic poisoning is like this, foaming at the mouth, black nails, bleeding from seven holes, and must have had convulsions before dying!" Someone shouted, lest the world be in chaos.

"Lu Qi, don't make a noise, you will know after the autopsy!" Han Chang shouted at his men and pretended to teach him a lesson.

But the effect has been achieved, and everyone has begun to talk about it, and everyone has begun to wonder if someone has deliberately poisoned it, and even began to wonder if the dishes that are about to come up have also been poisoned.

Gongsun Li frowned again, and said calmly: "Don't worry, the dishes at the dinner are fine, I have already checked them one by one with a silver needle, as for the death of Master Ling, there may be another reason!" ”

After speaking, he asked Master Ling's junior apprentice, who had been following him, "Did your master eat anything special today?" "Maybe someone poisoned it.

The apprentice had obviously not recovered from his fright, and said tremblingly: "I have been with the master almost all of them today, and the master has only eaten the dish he is responsible for, which is the 'lemon shrimp'. That lemon juice poured shrimp is the master's best and favorite food, and he eats more of that! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to remember something again: "By the way, before going in to cook vegetables, the master also ate a lot of big and round oranges that I don't know where they came from, and he said that he could lose weight, so he ate a lot." But I also ate one of the oranges! The schoolboy scratched his head in bewilderment.

There is no problem with pouring the shrimp with lemon juice, because he has tested the poison with a silver needle, and the orange can be eliminated, because the junior apprentice is fine. So where exactly did the poison come from? Gongsun Li was also a little confused at this time.

However, the top priority at the moment is to determine the cause of death first, and Yiqiē can only wait for the autopsy to be made before making a decision. But Master Ling's family has not been contacted yet, so he can't dissect the body without his family's consent.

Suddenly, there was a brief silence in the hall.

"Don't wait for the autopsy, the symptoms of this poisoning are obviously arsenic poisoning, and the orange can prove that it is not poisonous, only this lemon shrimp is the most suspicious, Gongsun Gongzi, how do you explain it?" It's Naru Seven again.

"It's okay if the food has been experienced, and besides, you can't make a premature conclusion if you haven't examined the body!" On the surface, he was very sure, but in his heart, Gongsun Li couldn't help but be a little suspicious of the poured shrimp.

"Maybe you have done something on the silver needle or arsenic so that people can't detect it, Gongsun Gongzi, you are not a stupid person!"

"You think too highly of me!" Gongsun Li snorted disdainfully.

"Then do you dare to let people try that shrimp to prove that it is not poisonous?"

Now he really asked Gongsun Li again, the shrimp has only been eaten by Master Ling since Master Ling made it, and something happened after eating, and he is not 100% sure that the shrimp is not poisonous now, maybe as Lu Qi said, there is a problem with the drug test. No matter how calm he usually is, he is beginning to doubt himself now.

Gongsun Li didn't speak again, and Lu Qi and Han Zhang, who was hidden on the side, laughed proudly when everyone didn't pay attention.

Several times of stalemate, but still no result has been achieved. Everyone had no choice but to silently continue to wait for Gongsun Li Zai's people to contact Master Ling's family and see if the body would be dissected.

At this time, a person slipped out of the guest hall while everyone was immersed in this bizarre poisoning incident, and this person was Lu Han.
