Chapter 392: Countermeasures

Wu Jing asked these subordinates to search their bodies, and soon the subordinates who searched the kitchen also came back: "My lord, the kitchen has not been found!" ”

Wu Jing nodded, and he asked, "Who is in charge of the kitchen?" ”

Aunt Li bowed her head and stood up: "Lord Hui, it is the slave maid." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Wu Jing asked her, "Who has handled this chicken soup?" ”

Aunt Li picked out nine people from the crowd, "Lord Hui, these four mothers-in-law are responsible for killing chickens, two girls are responsible for distributing soup and medicinal materials, and three people are responsible for putting the soup cup to stew, as for the dishes, the five girls are responsible for Mrs. and the three tables next to Mrs., that's it." ”

The other subordinates breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, the target was narrowed, and they were safe for the time being!

Wu Jing took a look, and some soldiers came up to take these nine people down and interrogate them separately, and took advantage of this gap Wu Jing asked the ladies present: "Do you think there is anything special during the banquet, ladies and gentlemen?" ”

Mrs. Shangshu thought for a while: "The second young master and Xiao Shizi are not very easy to talk to, and there have been quarrels during the banquet. ”

Princess Jian also said: "There is also Miss Six who said that there is hair in the soup...... But Deng's mother said that it was a cabbage, so everyone didn't take it seriously. ”

Everyone's eyes were on Miss Six.

Su Yingtong's heart moved, it seems that Miss Six is also trying to stop it in every possible way! Could it be that she already knew that there was something wrong with this soup? Thinking back carefully about Miss Six's actions, Su Yingtong became more and more sure of his guess, and when he looked at Miss Six again, his eyes were a little more probing.

It was the first time for Miss Six to attract attention like this, her ears were red, and she said intermittently under everyone's sight: "...... Yes, it was Liuniang who read it wrongly and scared everyone. His voice trembled.

He's looking at himself, too!

Wu Jing withdrew his gaze, this is not suspicious.

Zhao Yu couldn't help but look at it twice, the sixth lady of the Guogong Mansion looked quite polite.

Su Yingtong paid attention, and saw that Miss Six quickly raised her head and glanced at this side, but she was not looking at her, and her eyes were still a little shy and timid...... She followed her gaze, only to see a man taller than the crowd.

It seems to be Zhao Yu, the official of the push?

Su Yingtong was unsure, and heard Zhao Yu say to Wu Jing: "Xiaguan go and see the confession." ”

"Go ahead."

Su Yingtong looked at Miss Six tightly, and when she saw Miss Six's gaze chasing Zhao Yu, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but bring a smile.

Miss Six finally found that Su Yingtong was looking at her, and turned her head as if she had done something wrong, this action seemed a little abrupt in the quiet courtyard, but she didn't care about it, so she asked Xiao Su to find a stool to sit down: "It seems to be a little dizzy." ”

People didn't pay much attention to it.

Su Yingtong had an answer in his heart.

Zhao Yu soon came back, and he attached himself to Wu Jing's ear and said: "My lord, look at their confessions, from a quarter of noon, they were all discharged from the kitchen by Aunt Li for various reasons, and it was not until the beginning of the third quarter that there were no more people in the kitchen, and this period of time was ......."

Wu Jing asked Aunt Li: "Where are you during this time, and can there be witnesses around you?" ”

Aunt Li shouted a few times before she said: "The slave maid remembered that the lady might want to drink some other types of soup, so she went out to ask Jixiang to take a look...... Auspiciousness is the most aware of the taste of the lady. ”

"Who is auspicious?"

Zhao Yudao: "It is one of the nine people who were interrogated. ”

"Bring her up."

Jixiang was soon brought up, although she looked a little flustered, but she was still calm, and she didn't look like she was weak-hearted, and when she saw Lord Wu, she knelt down and kowtowed, as if she was frightened.

It's no different from the performance of ordinary servants.

Wu Jing asked her: "From one quarter to three o'clock in the afternoon, has Aunt Li looked for you?" ”

"Yes, sir."

"What did you ask?"

"Ask the slave maid to stew more different types of soup, the weather is dry during this time, and the lady likes to drink soup the most."

It also looks like there are no loopholes.

Zhao Yu reminded beside him: "My lord, if you want to put some arsenic, it is a convenient thing." ”

Wu Jing's mind was clear: "That's right," turned to Aunt Li and said: "If the murderer is a person in the kitchen and is so familiar with the environment of the kitchen, then poisoning is not just a matter of raising your hand......" The soup cup with arsenic has long been broken and mixed with others, and it is difficult to find any clues.

When Aunt Li heard this, she cried bitterly: "Wronged, my lord! The slave and maid are in charge of such a large kitchen alone, and it is not easy to arrange a feast, and some careless places are inevitable, but if there is no one in the kitchen at that time, it must be counted on the slave and maid, and the slave and maid are absolutely unconvinced! The soup cup is poisonous, how can it be a problem in the kitchen...... The soup is temporarily pointed to the corresponding table number to serve the soup, how can it just be that Xiao Shizi's soup is poisonous...... If you really want to do such a thing, there are a lot of opportunities to serve it, and the adults will be sure that it is our kitchen crime in one bite, and we can't afford it! The cry was so loud that the whole yard could hear it.

The people around couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard this, and there was some truth in it.

Wu Jing was upset by her noise, and he was shocked when he just wanted to interrupt, and he was right!

So he asked, "Who served the prince's soup?" ”

Jixiang stood up tremblingly: "It's a slave." ”

Wu Jing suddenly pointed at her: "You ......"

Jixiang was so frightened that he knelt on the ground: "Not only the slave maid, but also others have touched the soup cup!" ”

Su Yingtong's heart was cold, and she glanced at Qingmei.

Qingmei also heard what Jixiang was referring to, her face was sluggish for a moment, and she quickly came back to her senses, she shook her head at Su Yingtong, but in a blink of an eye, she saw the maid look at her a few times, Qingmei remembered that she was bumped into in the corridor, and a bad premonition suddenly surged in her heart, and her hand subconsciously stretched out to her waist, and her face instantly turned pale!

Su Yingtong shouted in his heart, and he had already heard Wu Jing ask, "Who else has touched the soup cup?" ”

Ji Xiang pointed to Qingmei: "Qingmei next to the princess, she originally took the soup from the slave maid and gave it to the prince, but she almost broke the lid, so Madame asked the slave maid to come...... The slave also took the lid and retreated, there was no superfluous action, everyone could see it! ”

Wu Jing looked at the person Jixiang pointed at: "You are Qingmei?" ”

Qingmei tried to be calm: "Yes, my lord. ”

"You, go up and search your body." Wu Jing didn't say anything, and pointed to Jixiang and stepped forward.

Qingmei had a cold sweat on her forehead, and her eyes were full of defeat, she was really careless today!

It doesn't matter if something happens to you, the most afraid is that you will affect the princess!

Qingmei glanced at the princess, the despair at this glance was indescribable, but Su Yingtong understood!

Her face is still calm, but her heart is already turbulent, and she can't imagine that they have taken advantage of Qingmei!

His hands were clenched into fists in his sleeves, and his mind was already rapidly calculating this countermeasure.
