Chapter 43: Poisoning

The heart is heartbeat, and when Gao Cheng returns to his house with half of the added ginseng, he is scared again.

He is the only person waiting around the eldest lord Zhao Jiong, no matter food, clothing, housing and transportation, it must pass through his hands, if something happens to the eldest lord, he is the first to be suspected. Although the eldest grandmother Jiang said that it can be inferred that this ginseng was given by Wang Siping, but Wang Siping is now an old lady's person, how could he give ginseng for no reason? If he said that he got it by stuffing money, and he had no money on him, someone asked him afterwards, Wang Siping said that he didn't know, and his suspicion still couldn't be removed.

Gao Cheng didn't dare to take that risk.

But the temptation given by the eldest grandmother Jiang is too great, and she will be promoted to the second manager when she returns to Beijing, and now the hostess of the Marquis Mansion in the capital is still the eldest wife, but the eldest lord has been dismissed, and the eldest grandfather will soon become the new master, and the eldest grandmother is naturally the main mother, and the eldest lady can only retire to support the elderly, and the chief manager she uses can still work in the seat for a few years? Sooner or later, the eldest grandmother Jiang will promote her cronies. As the chief manager of the Hou Mansion, he is more majestic than the ordinary local officials, and he has enough oil and water. Don't think he doesn't know, Wang Siping's old man has already saved a lot of private money in private, and after leaving the Hou Mansion, he can also be a rich man in peace, otherwise he can give up the position of chief manager so neatly?

and his son, who is eighteen years old, is also smart and clever, and knows a few words, and counts, but he can only follow the six-year-old Ze Ge'er out to be a follower, if he can have an errand on the purchase, decency is still second, and after two years of experience, it is easiest to be promoted to management. What's more, the eldest grandmother also promised him the red silk girl! Who is the Red Aya Girl? The No. 1 henchman next to the eldest grandmother is good-looking and decent, with such a daughter-in-law, are you afraid that he will not be productive in the future? Gao Cheng himself is not afraid that the hostess will cross the river and tear down the bridge, so he will rush to the love between Miss Hongya and the eldest grandmother for many years, and the eldest grandmother will not harm her mother-in-law's family!

Gao Cheng touched the freshly baked marriage book and engagement token in his arms, and felt that the Jiang family would still protect him, but in order to be sure, he still had to be cautious.

He began to worry about how to explain the origin of the half-cut ginseng to Zhao Jiong, and then persuaded Zhao Jiong to drink the ginseng soup, until he returned to the small courtyard where Zhao Jiong was imprisoned and replaced his doglegs, he was still troubled.

Zhao Jiong was very dissatisfied with the dog leg he found: "Where did you find the person?" It looks clever, how can you be so clumsy when you wait for people?! Forget if the food can't be cooked, even making tea can be so unpalatable, hurry up and get people out of me, Hugh wants me to see it again! ”

Gao Cheng hurriedly responded, exited the room, saw his dog legs, and before he could say anything, the other party preemptively said: "Senior management, this mission is really not done by people, although the old man can't move, but his mouth is really powerful, and the words he scolds - the little ones are embarrassed to say it." The little one should stay outside and listen to the orders, the messenger in front of the big man still has to be the executive. After saying that, he hurried away.

Gao Cheng was stunned for a moment, sighed, and had to go back to the house, touched the half of the ginseng in his sleeve pocket, gritted his teeth, and took it out: "Master, the little one tried his best to get this little ginseng back, although it is not as precious as a century-old ginseng, but it can also make up for your body." ”

Zhao Jiong glanced over with slanted eyes: "Where did you come from?" Although the thing is average, it is not easy to get it by looking at this color, but is it given by Jue's daughter-in-law? ”

"It's not from the grandmother, it's something from the old house." Gao Cheng chose the most credible answer he thought of, "It turned out that the people below heard that the old man and the old lady were going to help the spirit to return to their hometown for burial, for fear that the masters would be sad and unwell, so they prepared some warm and tonic medicinal materials, but they didn't expect it to be used, and when the old lady came back, they took it out and prepared it, but the old lady didn't use it." The little one cost a little money and got it. ”

Zhao Jiong was angry at his daughter-in-law's neglect, and when he heard that it was something prepared for the Zhang family, he was even more disgusted, but after thinking about it, he left it again: "Hmph, since it's hers, if you got it, don't return it." Where does she deserve to eat such good ginseng?! ”

Gao Cheng's heart fell, and he smiled and said, "Then the little one is going to fry a bowl of soup?" ”

"What's the hurry? She got her stuff, but I was impatient to eat it. Zhao Jiong said, "The person you found can't cook at all, I haven't eaten all day, I'm so hungry, you hurry up and make me some porridge." ”

Gao Cheng had to put the ginseng back in his sleeve pocket and boil the porridge.

Zhao Jiong's opinion on that half of the staff is purely that he doesn't want to cheapen his stepmother Zhang, and he doesn't think he needs it. Although Gao Cheng repeatedly said that his body was weak and needed to be replenished, he felt that his body was very good, except that he couldn't move, he was not empty at all. Gao Cheng couldn't coax him to drink ginseng soup, and he was afraid that if he talked too much, it would arouse suspicion, so he could only be anxious every day.

The Jiang family didn't see any movement from him for a long time, and had already sent someone to urge him privately. But this kind of thing is not just rushed!

Gao Cheng never found a chance, and he was so anxious that he couldn't sleep at night, and he only felt a burning pain in his stomach. He thought it was a mood guide, and he didn't think much about it, so he lost weight rapidly day by day, and the pain in his abdomen gradually worsened.

He started to panic, what was going on? It was not caused by his upset and anxiousness! When the eldest man Zhao Jiong fell off his horse, he was also so impatient and worried that he couldn't sleep at night, and his stomach had never hurt so much! Did he eat something bad? Or is there something seriously ill?

Jiang's side seemed to be unable to wait, and when Gao Cheng endured abdominal pain and went outside the courtyard to get today's ingredients and medicine, Hong Aya appeared there dressed as a rough little girl and called him in a low voice: "Dad." ”

Gao Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then showed joy: "Hey." "When I heard my future daughter-in-law call him Dad, it seemed that my stomach didn't hurt so much.

Hong Aya smiled shyly, but the words in her mouth were very direct: "Grandma asked, when are you going to do it?" Tonight, you must let the eldest master drink the ginseng soup, the medicine has a time limit, and it will be useless after tonight. Grandma has already arranged for someone to arrange all the evidence, as long as you do it here, grandma will immediately answer outside. Dad, you have to remember! ”

Gao Cheng was stunned again, and then turned his heart sideways: "I know, I'll make soup for the eldest master tonight!" ”

Satisfied, Red Aya handed him what she was holding and left with a shy smile. Gao Cheng returned to the courtyard, gritted his teeth, cut off a few slices of ginseng, mixed with minced meat to make porridge, and when he straightened up, he felt that the pain in his abdomen had reached an unbearable level.

What was wrong with him?

He reluctantly sent the porridge to Zhao Jiong: "Master, the little one made some porridge for you, can you taste it?" Then feed Zhao Jiong a spoonful. Before he could eat it, Zhao Jiong spit out the porridge: "What does this taste like?" Didn't I say I wouldn't eat that ginseng? Why did you put it in again?! ”

Gao Cheng defended with a white face: "The little one is really worried about your body's ......"

"I'm fine!" Zhao Jiong stubbornly refused to accept the reality, "I don't need this, you boiled it for me and sent it fresh, you can eat it yourself!" ”

Gao Cheng was taken aback: "No, no, no, this can't be ......"

"Why not? Hurry up and give it to me! Zhao Jiong glared, "My words don't work now, do they?" I'm a wretched person who can't move, and I can't summon you as a minion, can I?! ”

Gao Cheng was helpless, gritted his teeth, and took a bite of porridge. He thought, his aunt and grandmother said that this thing can't eat dead people, and it will take three or five times to really hurt his body, so he just used it to pretend to be, so he must not be hindered if he eats it, right?

This porridge actually tastes good, although it has the taste of ginseng, but it is still very delicious. But while eating, Gao Cheng began to feel that something was wrong, why did the porridge smell of rust?

He looked down and was stunned - how could there be so much blood in the bowl?!

Zhao Jiong's eyes were as big as bull's eyes: "What's going on?" Are you vomiting blood? Are you poisoned? What's in the porridge?! ”

The contents of the porridge may be poisonous, but it is not fatal, Gao Cheng recalled the severe pain in his abdomen in the past few days, as if he suddenly understood something.

On that day, my aunt and grandmother asked Hongya to serve her daughter-in-law's tea......

How could he be so stupid? How could he be so stupid?!

Gao Cheng's body was crumbling, but his mind was clearer than ever.

He was ordered by his aunt and grandmother Jiang to stay by the side of the eldest master Zhao Jiong, and after the people sent by his aunt and grandmother sank the boat that the old lady Zhang and the second master Zhao Zhuo's family were on, he tried to persuade Zhao Jiong to kill people and kill people. Now that one of the people my aunt wants to kill has survived, but the most important person certificate has long been dead, there are not many people who can prove my aunt's crime, but he, an insider, is the most important one, if he doesn't die, how can my aunt and grandmother feel at ease? !

As for marrying Hongya to his son, it's just to appease him, what marriage certificate, what token, isn't it my aunt and grandmother who have the final say? When he died, the things were taken back by her, and they were burned, where in this world did anyone know that there was such a marriage contract? My aunt and grandmother obviously wanted to use his only half life to poison the eldest master, no wonder they would send Hong Aya to urge him, he must do it before tonight, not because the medicinal effect of the half of the ginseng will pass, but because tonight is the death date of his high age, and if he doesn't start, he won't have a chance!

If he dies, what will happen to his family? Will my aunt not even let go of his wife and children?!

At the moment when death was imminent, the panic in Gao Cheng's heart overshadowed him, and when he heard Zhao Jiong calling loudly, he grabbed the latter's arm and tried his best to squeeze out a sentence: "It's grandma...... Poisoned porridge was delivered...... Blame the ...... Old lady ...... Extinguish...... Small...... ......As soon as the words fell, his stomach was twisted, he suddenly rolled his eyes, and the seven thieves bled crookedly to the side, and when the guards outside the door rushed in to check, he had already lost his breath.

Zhao Jiong was frightened into a cold sweat, Gao Cheng's words before he died surprised him extremely much, why did his daughter-in-law kill him?!

He didn't suspect Gao Cheng, if Gao Cheng knew that the porridge was poisonous, he wouldn't eat it obediently.

Qin Cha quickly arrived at the scene, and his face was gloomy and uncertain when he saw this. The deceased's death was obviously poisoned, but why was he poisoned? He's just a subordinate, could it be that the person who poisoned him was targeting Zhao Jiong, and this person just hit the deputy car by mistake?

Jiang Shi didn't know where to get the news, and soon arrived, she entered the door and saw this situation, and panicked in her heart, this is obviously different from her plan, Zhao Jiong is fine, but Gao Cheng was poisoned to death in advance, what happened to the accident?

However, she quickly stabilized her mind, although it did not match the plan, it was not impossible to use, and it was more convincing that someone died. She began to cry: "Father-in-law, are you okay?" Thank goodness you weren't killed, it's just a shame for the executives – but why would anyone kill him? There's no reason for that! ”

There really is no reason. Qin Cha looked at the porridge bowl and asked Zhao Jiong, "This porridge was originally for you to eat?" Why did the servants eat it? ”

Zhao Jiong looked at him silently and did not speak. The scene was a little stiff.

Jiang couldn't wait for him to answer, so he had to go on his own: "My father-in-law should eat and drink, and Gao Cheng handled it, and maybe Gao Cheng just wanted to try the taste for his father-in-law." ”

Qin Cha glanced at her gloomily, turned his head and instructed his subordinates: "Check it out for me!" I found out where this porridge was cooked, by whom, where the ingredients came in, and who bought and delivered it! ”

The subordinates left in response, and a hint of triumphant joy flashed in Jiang's eyes, she didn't notice that Zhao Jiong on the bed was looking at her with squinting eyes, drenched in cold sweat, feeling that she had never seen this daughter-in-law clearly.
