21. [021] The prince was beaten to death and did not drink
Drink? Don't do it.
Although she hadn't drunk anything since she came to the world, from Xiaoyu's mouth, she knew that the physique of this body must be more than capable of drinking.
Xiaoyu said that the prince would talk nonsense every time he drank, and he would be crazy for a while, and then the palace maids or guards around him would die mysteriously, and then the prince gradually quit drinking, and fewer and fewer people appeared in the East Palace, and the number of murders was reduced.
Mu Chen felt that although the soul had changed, the functions of the body would not change, although she also wanted to know what those bizarre murders were about, but after all, human life was at stake, so it was better not to try it lightly.
Her mind kept spinning, how could she refuse?
"No, as soon as I drink alcohol, my body will have red rashes, blisters, or something, and my face will grow, it's too ugly, and it will be contagious, even if I'm ugly, if I accidentally infect you and affect your flower and moon appearance, then I'm not a great sin." Mu Chen picked up the teacup and looked at Ren Shaotian with bright eyes, "I'll replace wine with tea, okay?" ”
Although her acting talent is not comparable to Ren Shaotian's, she still has a little talent as a woman who pretends to be innocent and pitiful.
In terms of beauty, among the men in the capital, if Ren Shaotian admits that he is second, no one should dare to admit the first, Mu Chen has said that he is disfigured, he is not afraid of 10,000, but he is afraid of what happens, and he can still avoid it.
But Ren Shaotian's mood was still a little cold: "Okay, forget it, for Lao Su's sake, tea will be tea." ”
"It's a pleasure to work with." The three of them spoke in unison and clinked glasses.
Ren Shaotian reported that after fighting with Prince Chen that night, he returned to the Drug Control Bureau, but fortunately their fight did not alarm the officers and soldiers guarding him, and he was able to continue to enter the tent.
He looked very carefully, this year's supply details did not record the shipment from Xilang to Buli, and the sales details did not have any record of Buli at all, and more importantly, the inventory of Buli in the previous year had been sold out.
But Mu Chen was sure that the pharmacy bought it from the Drug Administration, because he saw that the owner of the pharmacy was scared that day, and he didn't dare to lie, and there was no need to lie.
With such a contradiction, it can almost be concluded that Mu Chen and Su Wuxie's previous inference was correct, someone sold cloth privately through the Drug Control Bureau, and the most suspicious person was Hua Qianchuan, the general of the country.
In order to determine whether this person is Hua Qianchuan, you must first find a way to test him.
In the General's Mansion, Hua Qianchuan was dealing with things in the study.
Coldly, a dart swept past his face and plunged straight into the plank behind him, fortunately, General Hua was not an idle person, and he dodged quickly, otherwise one eye would have been scrapped.
The dart was obviously not meant to hurt people, but to bring a note, Hua Qianchuan took off the dart and opened the poked note, which had seven characters on it.
Tomorrow I'll pick it up.
General Hua has a transcendent status in the imperial court, the general's palace is like the second palace, and those who dare to provoke must have eaten the gall of the leopard, and deliberately told him in advance, obviously not taking him into account as a general.
Hua Qianchuan solemnly ordered the guards to strengthen their vigilance and send more people to guard the warehouses.
After thinking about it, I couldn't rest assured, so I decided to go and check for myself whether Buli was still there. There were many warehouses in the mountains behind the General's Mansion, but he actually didn't go to one of them, but bypassed these warehouses and walked into a cellar. There weren't many guards here, a few of them, much fewer than any of the guards in any of the warehouses in front of them.
