Chapter 308: Poison in Food
Wang Bei's decision was just a subconscious reflex, at the beginning when Su Xiaomei's face turned pale and she covered her stomach with her hands, Wang Bei also joked about whether she was too strong in the afternoon, but seeing that Su Xiaomei's face was getting more and more solemn, and more than a dozen people fell down in Huiying's upstairs for a while, he realized that things were not so simple. The pen "Fun" Ge www.biquge.info first instinct told Wang that it was food poisoning.
Those with abdominal pain were helped aside, and those who had no symptoms looked at the food on the table, and they didn't dare to move their chopsticks anymore.
Seeing that the king was back, everyone hugged them together, and the prefect Feng Shen and Tong Judge Tao Ren at the front of the crowd were also like poisoned, except for not shouting abdominal pain, their faces were pale with fright, and beads of sweat remained. They are too nervous, the prince has just come to Yongzhou on the first day, and such a big incident happened, if this is really a human life, then he will not be able to escape the involvement no matter what.
Feng Shen shuddered and asked, "Lord Wang, how is the princess?"
The king pointed to the poisoned people who were gathered: "Like these people, you will first see who has milder symptoms, and ask them what they have eaten?"
Everyone couldn't help but wonder how there was a difference in poisoning when everyone sat together to drink and feast, and the food was almost the same.
"Lord Wang, I think someone has done something wrong, why don't you gather everyone now, investigate closely, and send someone to search the palace if there are any suspicious people?" Nan Jifeng stepped forward and said.
The king sat beside him, looking at the commotion in the banquet hall, and shook his head. This palace is not small, and it was regarded as a palace that called Wang Nong Zhigao on its own, and it was very easy to hide himself.
Dozens of people in the banquet hall looked at the king, waiting for him to speak. The sound of poisoning people on the side reached the ears of the king, and he was also thinking for a long time: If it is food poisoning, then why is he okay? He looked at the crowd that made the sound, how many women and children were there.
After a short effort, the doctor in the house ran in in a panic, and he diagnosed that these people were not seriously poisoned, so he prescribed some decoctions one by one, and ordered people to go to torment immediately. The king ordered people to arrange a place for these people to rest, so that everyone could rest for a while, and reassured everyone that the truth would soon be found out.
The people in the hall gradually dispersed, and the Huiying Building, which was still very noisy just now, was now quiet, and the king ordered someone to send Su Xiaomei back to the inner mansion, and let Hou Shuxian and He Xingyuan, who were slightly symptomatic, also go back to rest. The banquet hall of Huiying Building was brightly lit, and only Zhi Kejun, Zhang Ping, Cai Jing, Li Jie, and the attention-grabbing foreigner Tulle were left in the entire banquet hall.
Speaking of Thule, it is interesting to say that although the king said that he was his slave, he usually treated Thule with courtesy. Along the way, there was no obstacle to communication between Tulle and the king, and naturally there was more to say. Slowly, the king found that this Thule was like a wild man who had never been domesticated. He is not unaware of the etiquette and culture of the Han people, but he is unwilling to abide by it. Sometimes the king did not force him, so that he obeyed the king's words. Now even if he lets Tulle go back, he may not be willing to go.
The banquet of Huiying Building, the banquet of the local officials and rich gentry in Yongzhou, the people sitting in the center of the lobby are these people, and in the side halls on the east and west sides, they are all cronies of the king's mansion. Now that Tulle is also familiar with everyone, he naturally participates in the banquet.
At this moment Tulle was sitting at a table, as if he had so quickly forgotten that someone had just eaten something and had an upset stomach, and was holding up a chicken leg and munching on it.
Li Jie walked in front of him, and the two people followed the king south at the same time, and Thule glanced at the king: "This is delicious!" ”
"Someone just ate a bad stomach, I suspect there is something wrong with this food, don't eat it yet." Li Jie said.
Thule didn't pay attention: "I just ate this, it's okay, belly!" He patted himself on the stomach and replied in stiff Chinese.
Their conversation interrupted the king's contemplation, and he pointed to Tulle and said, "Most of the banquets in this mansion are prepared by Mr. He according to our habits in the capital. You see, in addition to these dishes, there are also some fresh fruits and vegetables on this table, and I suspect that there is a problem in these fruits and vegetables. I just thought about it, and it seemed like I hadn't eaten much of it. ”
Cai Jing was still counting just now, and when he heard Wang say this, he put down the pen and paper in his hand and said: "Lord Wang, what you said is right, I just roughly summarized that anyone with abdominal pain is a person who drinks less and eats more fruits and vegetables." It's strange, it's easy to poison wine or water, but how to poison fruit? ”
As he was talking, Zhang Ping walked in from outside: "Lord Wang, the people who came to the banquet have already arranged their accommodations. ”
Wang Bei nodded: "Let the people in the kitchen be careful, and check it with a silver needle before sending food and drink." ”
"It's already commanded!" Zhang Ping replied.
"Lord Wang, all parts of the house have been searched, and there is no suspicious person." Wu Ling also walked in from outside at this time and reported.
Those who arranged to do things from all over the place came back one after another, and Han Derong also came back to report: "Lord Wang, the people in the kitchen have also been counted, and now they are all waiting in the courtyard for your interrogation." ”
"Hmm" The king snorted, and Zhi Kejun walked in, followed by a guard guarding the door: "Lord Wang, I have asked, there was really a suspicious person in the house today." I didn't attend the banquet, but I did leave before the banquet. You said! He glanced at the guard guarding the door.
The guard hurriedly bowed his head and said: "There is indeed such a person, today you arranged for the minister of Dali to stay in the palace, and a person came in the afternoon, saying that he saw that the minister of Dali did not return to the post, so he came to inquire when he would go back, and it happened that the maid next to the minister of the country went to the post to get something and happened to meet." Seeing that they had come to look for the Minister of State, he let them in and speak. This man had left after the banquet had begun, and I had just remembered this when General Zhi asked us. ”
Zhi Kejun glared at him angrily: "Just let people into the palace, don't you want to keep this meat ball on your shoulder if something happens?" ”
The guards lowered their heads and didn't dare to squeak, this guard was also on the original capital mansion, when he was in the capital, the palace next to the king was usually full of people, and sometimes the guards who came in and out did not block it, and even the king himself said that the people who came from the low threshold of our house were guests, and there was no need to interrogate them. Unexpectedly, there was an accident on the first day he came to Yongzhou, and he secretly scolded the minister of Dali in his heart, but he blamed himself a little.
"Forget it, I can't blame him, I will be careful in the future! You go down first. Wang said lightly.
Zhi Kejun patted the guard: "Thank you for it!" ”
The guard hurriedly thanked Wang Bian and turned to retreat, Wang Bian thought about what the guard said, the intention of the Dali Prime Minister to come this time, Wang Bian has not yet figured it out. Whether the poisoning of the Venerable Master has anything to do with him, Wang is not sure.
Cai Jing snorted: "Lord Wang, I just think there is something wrong with this Dali Prime Minister, you see that he sent you a congratulatory gift today, which is obviously to provoke the relationship between you and the saint." Even I can see this trick, not to mention that the prefect of Yongzhou notified them. He didn't come to the dinner either, presumably because he already knew there was something wrong with the meal. Just let General Zhe arrest him, beat him dozens of boards, and see if he tells the truth. ”
"That's right! Right! Cai Jingyi said, and Zhang Ping also agreed.
Wang Bian ignored them, and he saw two people walking into the hall, walking in front of him was Nan Jifeng, followed by a man in his forties, this man was wearing a turban on his head, wearing a linen shirt, a brown luan belt around his waist, silk shoes and socks underneath, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he was carrying a medicine box on his back. Wang stood up and greeted him: "Brother Nan, you're back!" Who is this? ”
Nan Jifeng looked Wang up and down, "Well, it's okay, it's okay, brother, you're fine." I was just afraid that there would be more poisoning people, and that one of the people in your house would be too busy, so I sent someone to pick up Mr. Qian, who is the number one doctor here. ”
Just when the banquet hall was in chaos, Nan Jifeng sent someone to invite this Mr. Qian, which would prevent people from entering and leaving the palace at will, and Nan Jifeng personally went to the door of the mansion to pick Mr. Qian in. Seeing that Nan Jifeng was so respectful to this person, the king also bowed his hand. "There is Mr. Lao Qian, I didn't expect this to happen on the first day I came to Yongzhou. Haven't asked Mr. Gao's name yet? ”
This Mr. Qian hurriedly returned the gift: "In the next money word Zhongyang." Where are the patients? He looked around as he spoke.
"Oh! Fortunately, it was detected in time, and there were not many patients; Cai Jing, you take Mr. Qian to take a look again. Listening to the king's orders, Cai Jing was ordered to take Qian Yi away.
Wang turned to Han Derong: "You lead the way, let's go to the kitchen courtyard and have a look!" As he spoke, he walked out.
Compared with the quietness of the palace at the moment, the palace kitchen is in a courtyard to the east of the palace, but now it is the noisiest place in the palace. The kitchen workers in the palace kitchen, some squatting, some sitting on stone benches, some looking at the closed courtyard door in a daze, and some whispering: "Why did this happen, do you say that this prince has enemies?" ”
An older cook said: "You should be quiet, it is estimated that the prince does not know who to find to get angry at this time, so be careful to cut you to be angry." ”
There are also sighs and complaints here: "Alas, you said that this matter is troublesome, who do you say we are provoking to provoke?!" ”
He was even more unconvinced: "What are you afraid of, and we didn't do it, could it be that he is a prince who has just come to Yongzhou, and he can't start killing after a day?" ”
The door creaked open, and the king stood in the courtyard of the kitchen, and the people in the courtyard immediately quieted down, and the king stood in white under the moonlight, his face sank like water, and the guards behind him all looked at the people in the courtyard with black faces like iron kings. Even if these people didn't do anything bad, they felt a little shiver in their hearts when they saw this scene.
Suddenly, a cook knelt down, just now I was afraid that I had heard people talk about it, he kowtowed like pounding garlic and said: "The prince spares his life, there is nothing for me here, I have the old and ......the young" He didn't finish speaking, just now the unconvinced also knelt down, and then the courtyard begged for mercy.
