Chapter 168: The Calm Before the Storm
Feixue Yue Lange suddenly had a murder case, which caught everyone by surprise.
But fortunately, everyone in the room has seen the world, and there are no chickens and dogs jumping for a while. However, the nearest person immediately flashed away, and immediately emptied the dead man's table. There were still most delicacies on the table, but no one dared to eat them anymore.
Look at the man's tragic death, apparently he died of poisoning. The hearts of the people were beating drums, not knowing if their food would also be poisoned.
"Flying Snow Yue Lan Pavilion, what a Flying Snow Yue Lan Pavilion!"
"Humph! No one even knows that there is poison in the thing, so I don't think there is any need to open this free field! ”
"Yes, who knows if they voted for the poison!"
"Hey, I pity Brother Wang. I don't know how sad Lord Wang would be when he knew that Gongzi died tragically here. ”
Everyone was silent for a while, and suddenly felt a monstrous anger. For nothing else, everyone was kind enough to come to sing the willows, but no one knew that someone had poisoned the meal. Fortunately, I was not poisoned, but who can say for sure such a thing? This time I escaped and ascended to heaven, but what about next time?
As a result, everyone poured out their anger on Feixue Yue Lan Pavilion.
"Everyone, be silent!" A white figure lined up and said, "In Xia Xue Changxiao, please make it convenient for everyone, don't act rashly for the time being!" ”
Tang An stood aside, his mind full of question marks.
First of all, how did this person suddenly die? If the food is poisonous, why is everyone else fine, but he was poisoned?
Secondly, there has never been a food poisoning case in Feixue Yue Lanqu, so why did the accident happen today? With so many nobles here today, could it be that someone wants to take the opportunity to kill them?
Third, if it was a vendetta, why did you choose the Feixue Yue Orchid Pavilion that was so inconvenient to start? Is it killing two birds with one stone, taking the opportunity to take revenge and splashing dirty water on Feixue Yuelan Pavilion by the way? Who has Feng Zhilan offended?
Fourth, what kind of character is this Xue Changxiao?
is a simple murder case, but what is hidden behind it is confusing. Tang An had a hunch that it seemed to be the calm before the storm.
Feng Zhilan's face beside her was extremely ugly, and it was a murder case in her place, which was definitely not a good thing for Feixue Yue Lan Pavilion. Fortunately, she is a character who has seen strong winds and waves, the more important the event, the more calm she is, she barely restrained her fear at the moment, and said generously: "I Feixue Yue Lange opened the door to do business, and I was talking about a letter." Poisoning customers is undoubtedly a dead end. Although I, Feng Zhilan, am not smart, I would never do such a stupid thing! ”
Seeing Feng Zhilan come forward to speak, everyone's criticism was a little quieter. Indeed, when such a thing happens, she is the most passive.
Feng Zhilan turned the situation slightly and looked at the white-clothed man: "It's such a coincidence tonight, it just so happens that Xue Daxia is also there." 'Flying Eagle God Hunting Xue Changxiao' is famous all over the world, and he will definitely give justice to the slave family. ”
"Do your best!" Xue Changxiao nodded, "Until the truth is found out, please don't leave this place!" ”
"Who are you? Why do you say you can't leave if you don't let you leave? ”
Xue Changxiao looked to be in his thirties, his eyes were full of essence, and his two mustaches added a bit of charm to him. He looked at the man and said, "Xue Changxiao, the first head catcher in Xia Bianjing Mansion, the emperor gave the word 'flying eagle'. ”
As soon as he heard that the "emperor" knew him, the man immediately didn't dare to say more.
Xue Changxiao was very satisfied with this person's performance, and said loudly: "Everyone, now that the truth is unknown, maybe the murderer is still hiding in a corner here. So to be on the safe side, please stay for a while and don't touch anything on the table. ”
God is here, and everyone is at ease. But it was a nervous mood that gradually began to spread among the crowd.
The lovely people in the private room on the second floor couldn't sit still, and Dongfang Xuanyun and Qin Chuang both walked out of the room and came to the railing.
Qin Chuang shouted: "All of you here are not allowed to leave, everything is subject to Xue Shenzhuo's arrangement!" ”
Qin Chuang is the only son of the current Sixth Prince, and everyone knows his identity. Seeing him speak, no one dared to talk anymore, and they all quieted down.
Dongfang Xuanyun glanced at Qin Chuang and said, "Yes, this fashion is strange, before we figure out the truth, let's be a little restless." Xue Shenzhuo, there are a few subordinates below, if there is a send, just command. ”
Although Dongfang Xuanyi has no fame, everyone knows that he is the son of Xiangguo. Lord Xiangguo is the first person in the court today, who dares to offend with such an identity?
Xue Changxiao naturally knew the weight of the two young sons in front of him, and politely arched his hand and said, "Thank you Dongfang Gongzi." But this matter is inconclusive for the time being, and the murderer doesn't know if he is still in this house, so Dongfang Gongzi still takes it first to ensure his own safety. ”
He looked around, pointed at Tang An and said, "This brother, I don't know if I can help in the next favor?" ”
Hey, why is it Lao Tzu again! Sure enough, gold shines everywhere it goes. Tang An shook his head, and secretly said that he was already so low-key, and he couldn't hide his domineering aura - he accidentally leaked on the side.
Tang An said: "Xue Shen catches it, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”
Xue Changxiao said: "Since you are familiar with the Feng family and the Liu family, you will call everyone in the Feixue Yue Lan Pavilion to the lobby. ”
Tang An secretly praised in his heart. If you want to poison the wine and food, the most suspicious person is the people of Feixue Yue Lan Pavilion. In this matter, Xue Changxiao did not look for Feng Zhilan but for himself, because Feng Zhilan could not clear his suspicion at this time, and this practice would undoubtedly make people feel fair.
There was no need for Tang An to say anything, Feng Zhilan had already arranged it. In a short time, a total of forty-two people, from the spoon to the running hall, from the dancing girl to the maid, stood in the hall together, everyone with a look of trepidation, for fear of being questioned for this matter.
Xue Changxiao took out a silver needle and probed it into every piece of food. The dishes on the table did not change the color of the silver needles, except when the "clear water and clear stream" served in a white porcelain bottle was inserted, the color of the silver needles changed to a faint light gray.
Xue Changxiao's brows furrowed, and he said, "There is poison in the wine!" ”
When everyone heard this, their faces immediately became colorless. If "clear water and clear streams" are poisonous wine, then isn't everyone poisoned?
Xue Changxiao saw everyone's concerns, came to the next few tables, and probed with a silver needle, but found that there was no poison in the wine of others.
The wine on other people's tables is not poisonous, but only this person's wine is poisonous, what does it mean?
Xue Changxiao picked up the poisonous wine and sniffed it gently, and said, "This poison is called 'Killing Immortal San', it seems that the amount of poison released by the person is not large, so the silver needle has not completely turned black." Because of this, the poison in wine is less likely to be detected. But this poison is fierce, even if it is not put in much, but three cups of stomach will definitely die. ”
So powerful? Everyone was secretly speechless, glad that it was not themselves who were poisoned, otherwise they would have finished the game long ago.
Tang An frowned secretly when he heard this, and then said: "The wine that these people here drink should all be from the same wine vat. There was no poison in other people's wine, but this person was poisoned and died, indicating that the poisoner was poisoned after the wine cup was filled with the wine jug. ”
Xue Changxiao nodded and said, "Yes, so our scope can also be greatly reduced." Who first discovered this man's violent death? ”
