However, even though Mrs. Du's expression was extremely fierce, she couldn't wait to drink Zhao Qinghua's blood and eat his flesh, but her physical state was there after all, she was an old and frail woman, and she was easily blocked by Gu Tianzhen.

"Get out of here, General Gu, are you going against the old woman?"

Mrs. Du's voice was extremely hoarse, as if her throat had been injured by crying for too long, which was very unpleasant.

Gu Tianzhen frowned, it was reasonable, he shouldn't stop Mrs. Du from taking revenge with her own hands and venting her personal anger, but now that the matter of whether the spicy strip was poison had not yet been clarified, he had to stop her.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Du! General Ben brought this bastard here, because he still wants to find out something! When the matter is clear, this bastard thing is left to Mrs. Du. ”

Gu Tianzhen explained, if he wanted to save what little sanity Mrs. Du had left, if she had been so crazy, things might not be easy.

Hearing this, Mrs. Du also seemed to know Gu Tianzhen's intentions, she straightened her scattered hair, straightened her clothes, and said in a low voice: "Then take care of what the general said, and hope you can keep your promise." ”

"Naturally. Gu Tianzhen nodded.

Zhao Qinghua was trembling with fright on the side, he saw Mrs. Du's hideous and vicious appearance rushing over, and thought that he would be bitten to death by her.

Although Zhao Qinghua is a noble second generation and does not learn and has no skills, he is not really stupid.

At the beginning, he made a calculation that he had strengthened the herb shop, if General Gu didn't take it seriously, then everyone would naturally be happy; But if General Gu valued love and righteousness and wanted to come out, he had already climbed into the relationship of the servant of the ministry at that time and became a four-grade official.

However, he never expected that the spicy strips he ate at the beginning would poison the servants overnight?

This is the only way out for me......

Zhao Qinghua was disheartened, he thought that he was like this, he would just die, and he would be a good man again eighteen years later!

But when he saw Mrs. Du's hateful gesture of wanting to pull out his tendons and pull out his bones, he realized: he ...... Maybe it's not a pleasure to die!

"What does General Gu want to ask?"

Mrs. Du asked coldly, her gaze stayed on Zhao Qinghua's body, as if she was thinking about where to start.

"General Ben wants to know if Master Du was really poisoned by the spicy strips. ”

Gu Tianzhen replied, and when he said this, he couldn't help but show a trace of inexplicable expression on his face.

After all, I use spicy noodles as rice...... No, it's the one who eats it as a dish!

If it's really poisonous, the first person to die should be himself......

"I still need to ask? Since my lord woke up, he hasn't stood up with a drop of water, he just ate spicy noodles! What do you think would be if it wasn't for the spicy noodles?"

When Mrs. Du talked about this, sorrow came from it.

I'm still too stupid, I'm sick and rushed to the doctor!

I don't think about it anymore: how dare you eat something sent by this notoriously idle bully in Shengchen City?

blamed himself for being too gullible to others, which hurt the old man......

Mrs. Du carried the sin behind her, she had already seen it, and after avenging the lord with her own hands, she would go back to her parents' house, do a good deed every day, and accumulate good for the lord!

Therefore, her attitude towards Gu Tianzhen is no longer so respectful.

Just as Gu Tianzhen was about to use himself as an example to explain one or two, a maid outside the door ran in in horror and knelt on the ground: "Madam...... His Majesty...... Your Majesty is here!"

All eat it

was taken aback, and hurriedly went outside to greet him, no one expected that the death of the servant of the ministry would be able to alarm His Majesty!

It stands to reason that Xia Xinghai only needs to send someone to investigate one or two, and then sign the fold, and there is no need to come in person.

However, he was very interested in the cause of Du Yun's death, and it happened that there was nothing to do today, so he pulled Prime Minister Zuo over to take a look.

Except for Xu Lao and Li Wancai, everyone vaguely guessed the reason why Xia Xinghai came here, but they were not sure in their hearts.

When they arrived outside the mansion, everyone lined up and saluted respectfully: "We welcome Your Majesty!"

Xia Xinghai nodded, caught a glimpse of Xu Lao and Gu Tianzhen out of the corner of his eye, his eyes flashed with a trace of puzzlement, and asked, "Why are Xu Lao and General Gu also here?"

Gu Tianzhen hurriedly got up and concisely explained the intention of himself and the others.

When he heard the word 'Wu Fan', Xia Xinghai's expression was a little strange: "So, this spicy strip was made by Wu Fan's alchemist himself?"

Although Xia Ziyan mentioned many novel and delicious snacks to him, he subconsciously ignored them at the time, and only thought that it was just something that Wu Fan coaxed the students, and did not take it to heart.

But after tasting the unique taste of spicy strips, although Xia Xinghai didn't say it, he was deeply impressed by it in his heart.

After giving Zuo Prime Minister twenty packs last time, he took care of the rest of the spicy strips and only ate five packs a day!

I was afraid that after eating, I would be embarrassed to ask Gu Tianzhen for it!

Unexpectedly, this spicy strip turned out to be made by Wu Fan, who 'abducted' and sold his baby daughter!

For a while, Xia Xinghai had mixed feelings and almost spat out fragrant fragrance.

The matter of spicy strips alarmed countless nobles in Shengchen City, and even they came to check on one or two, not to mention Gu Tianzhen, Xu Lao and others, but Wu Fan, who was the most critical person in the matter, was not present at all!

It's probably not even known that you're happily teaching students in the academy......

Xia Xinghai couldn't cry or laugh, he always felt as if he was silently wiping his ass for him, and he had to wipe it!

"This king came here today, also for the cause of death of the servant of the ministry, and specially brought the royal doctor! He has followed this king for many years, has rich experience, and is the best doctor in the city!"

Then, a gray-haired old doctor with a medical kit on his back came into everyone's eyes.

Mrs. Du was a little confused, why did even Her Majesty doubt the cause of her master's death?

Could it be that I was mistaken?

But it's clear ......

She didn't dare to say anything, she could still play a scoundrel with the pain of losing her husband in front of Gu Tianzhen, but after Xia Xinghai came, she just shrank her head in fear, for fear that she had done something wrong.

After all, Xia Xinghai was a generous benevolent monarch, he did not directly order the doctor to come forward to check Du Yun's body, but turned his head to ask Mrs. Du's opinion: "Mrs. Du, can I let this king check Lord Du's body?"

Mrs. Du dared to have any opinions, and nodded again and again: "Your Majesty, please!"

Xia Xinghai gestured to Mrs. Du with satisfaction, and then everyone followed Mrs. Du to the mourning hall where Du Yun's body was placed.

It was covered with white gauze, accompanied by a black solemn square cloth, and a pitch-black coffin was placed in the middle, with no cap on it, and a corner was opened, and Du Yun's body was placed inside.

His expression was very painful and hideous, as if he was suffering from this great torture in front of him, his face was a little thinner, it looked a little asymmetrical, his bones were prominent, and his whole face was not bloody, and it was blue.

Zhao Qinghua was so frightened that he retreated again and again when he saw Du Yun's remains, but he was grabbed by Gu Tianzhen in his hands, and after taking a few steps back, he had no way to retreat, so he had to close his eyes and dare not look again.

Du Yun's miserable and ugly face seemed to be crying that he was right

His poisonous hand, in Zhao Qinghua's eyes: he is like he will jump up at any time and ask for his life!

The other people's faces were very normal, and they even nodded slightly, as if they had discovered something.

"He's ......"

Xia Xinghai pointed at Zhao Qinghua and asked, he didn't care about this small role in front of him, but he was the only one on the field who reacted so much, so he naturally couldn't help but ask more.

Gu Tianzhen replied: "This person is Zhao Qinghua, the son of Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, who robbed Wu Fandanshi's herb shop, and is also the one who sent spicy noodles to Master Du. ”

Xia Xinghai nodded, looked at Zhao Qinghua and narrowed his eyes, thoughtful.

And Zhao Qinghua was stared at by Xia Xinghai like this, and he didn't dare to take a breath, for fear of causing other troubles for himself.

For example, when the most powerful people in the Chen Kingdom gathered around today, he was already thinking of death, and he was waiting for how he would be disposed of.

Xia Xinghai nodded at the old doctor, and the old doctor stepped forward to check the condition of Du Yun's body.

He first opened Du Yun's mouth, carefully examined the situation in his throat, and then checked Du Yun's eyes, stomach, neck, etc. one by one, very focused, so that everyone couldn't help but lift their hearts.

Half an hour later.

The old physician saluted Xia Xinghai and said, "Your Majesty! Lord Du's body is full of distended abdomen, which contains many undigested things, and his eyes are blood-red and bulging outward, indicating that he encountered great pain before his death, but this pain was short-lived, and soon his consciousness dissipated, and his pupils dilated; at the same time, there was a foreign body deep in his throat, his whole body was swollen and strong, and even his mouth contained food residues!"

Therefore, the minister dared to judge: Lord Du is...... Strung to death!"

As soon as these words came out, all four were shocked.

"What?!"

"Wouldn't it? My master turned out to be ......."

"It's too ......"

“......”

Everyone couldn't help but exclaim, and even Xia Xinghai was really taken aback.

He asked, "Are you sure?"

The old doctor stroked his white beard and nodded very affirmatively: "The minister has been practicing medicine for many years, and he has not seen any illness? Master Du couldn't sleep before, he couldn't eat for a long time, and his body was already hungry; after he was stimulated by the spicy noodles and woke up, he began to act according to his body's instinct and ate a large amount of spicy noodles. However, after the food enters the stomach, it takes a certain amount of time to digest, and the spontaneous feeling of fullness from the body will be delayed!"

"Master Du has eaten enough, but he is not aware of it, and he still eats quickly and in large quantities. As a result, the speed of digestion cannot keep up with the speed of eating, and when you just wake up, the body's various functions are not as good as before, and the stomach and intestines are overwhelmed..... In the end, he was strangled to death!"

The old doctor said that some of them were justified and swearing, so that everyone could not find the slightest fault.

If Wu Fan was here, he would definitely applaud and cheer for him in surprise!

This rhetoric is almost on a par with modern medicine on the Blue Star!

Mrs. Du was still a little incredulous, she looked at Du Yun's body lying in the coffin in a daze, and couldn't believe what had happened: "Master...... You died a terrible death...... Woowoo...... It's all to blame on the concubine!"

The maid had reminded her before: The master has eaten too much!

But she didn't care, but thought that the more the master ate, the better!

This shows that the body is recovering quickly!

However, it is this self-righteousness...... Kill the master!

All of a sudden, Mrs. Du was filled with grief and fainted crying.

Seeing this, the maid next to her immediately supported Mrs. Du, and after getting Xia Xinghai's consent, she took her to the room to rest.
