Chapter 227: Inquiry
"Tang Chu, I still want to know, what do you want this pastry to do, is there anything wrong with it?" Zhao Zhenzhu stared at the other party's eyes and asked.
Tang Chu smiled and poured another cup of tea for her.
"Miss Zhao asked me yesterday if the early departure of the county lord of Huayang from the banquet had anything to do with me, and I can answer you for sure today." Tang Chu said slowly.
Zhao Zhenzhu looked at her, there were only three of them in the room, so speaking as he wanted was also secretive.
"Yes, I did it!" Tang Chu still had that smiling face, but the words he said were shocking.
"Unexpectedly...... It's really you! Zhao Zhenzhu suddenly stood up from the chair, pointed at her with one hand, and couldn't speak for a long time.
In the end, she put down her arm weakly, looked at Tang Chu and smiled miserably, "Actually, I also vaguely guessed, but I still can't conclude that you are so bold!" ”
"Do you know what the crime of murdering a royal child is?" Zhao Zhenzhu's tone was suddenly serious.
"Xia He, help your young lady sit down!" Tang Chu said calmly, and didn't seem to take Zhao Jizhu's words to heart.
Zhao Zhenzhu is still a little scared now, the county lord of Huayang did not bring many henchmen out, and the guards were also guarding outside, so when she was sleepy and wanted to go back to the house yesterday, few people questioned it, but if this was elsewhere, someone would have used this matter as a pawn, no matter whether the county lord of Huayang was manipulated or was really tired and sleepy from the journey.
didn't use Xia He's support, Zhao Zhenzhu sat down by himself, but his eyes still didn't leave Tang Chu, and the meaning of that expression was clearly that the other party had to give a reasonable explanation today.
Tang Chu shrugged her shoulders, she also knew that she had to explain this matter today, Xie Yaoyao was very arrogant and confused all day. But Zhao Zhenzhu is not an ordinary person, and some words can't be fooled in front of her at all, so it's better to tell her the truth, but whether she can accept it in the end depends on Zhao Zhenzhu himself.
"Jizhu, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that this matter is very important, if you can't bear it, I don't need to say it." Tang Chu suddenly became serious.
Zhao Zhenzhu raised his eyebrows, the meaning of this sentence is clearly that there are too many things involved, so if he insists on knowing the truth, he must bear the price of knowing it.
This made Zhao Zhenzhu even more curious, what is going on? It's so serious!
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhenzhu still looked at Tang Chu firmly, "You say, I'm ready, if I can't afford any secrets, then I'm not even as good as you." ”
This sentence was not polite, but Tang Chu was not angry, she knew that Zhao Zhenzhu looked down on herself in the past, but now she faintly regarded herself as both a partner and a qualified opponent.
Tang Chu was not complacent because of this, she knew that Zhao Jizhu's change was not a change in the situation, but her own strong change gave her a sense of crisis.
Hearing Zhao Zhenzhu's answer, Tang Chu exhaled lightly and said slowly, "Only you and I know about the next matter, and one more person will be more dangerous." ”
Zhao Zhenzhu understood it, and immediately sent Xia He out, and the door was locked.
"Okay, you can tell the truth with confidence!" Zhao Zhenzhu looked at Tang Chu and said.
"The truth is that Miaoyin Niangzi is not an ordinary person, she is a spy in Nanchang Kingdom!" Tang Chu said this earth-shattering sentence in Zhao Jizhu's eyes plainly.
"What?" Zhao Zhenzhu didn't stand up this time, but her legs seemed to be a little weak, and she leaned back on the chair, leaning on it with all her body weight.
"Do you know what you mean by that?" Zhao Zhenzhu felt that he had never been so panicked in his heart.
"Of course I do! Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you get the evidence from her. Tang Chu said.
"You're talking about the hibiscus cake?" Zhao Jizhu quickly thought of the key thing, that is, the hibiscus cake made by Miaoyin Niangzi.
She looked at the pastries on the table, there was no color and fragrance, but she seduced the county lord of Huayang to eat it, what kind of magic is it, it makes people so addicted?
Wait a minute? Addicted!
Zhao Zhenzhu seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Tang Chu in disbelief.
And Tang Chu's words also followed.
"This hibiscus cake is mixed with an addictive and unstoppable drug, and the name is wishing grass."
"Wish-wasting?" Zhao has never heard of this name.
Tang Chu continued, "The wishing grass grows in a certain abyss in Nanchang Kingdom, and the locals call it the wishing grass, because this kind of herbivory will make people hallucinate and fulfill their wishes in dreams. A small amount of wish-wishing grass will not have this effect, but long-term use will make people addicted and slowly lose themselves, and a few nobles in Nanchang use this medicine to control others. ”
"In other words, the effect of this wish-granting grass is almost the same as that of Wushisan?" Zhao Zhenzhu is not the woman who is raised in the deep boudoir, and she also knows some things, but she didn't expect that the Apocalypse Country has banned drugs for many years, and there are still people who dare to make trouble.
"Yes, it's just that this medicine is more terrifying than Wushisan, it will slowly divert people's minds, and make people be controlled by the medicine and obey the orders of those who have the wishing grass in their hands." Tang Chu said leisurely.
"That Miaoyin lady's hibiscus cake has this kind of grass, and she gave it to the county lord of Huayang three times and twice, just to control her, so as to get the intelligence of our country?" Zhao Zhenzhu's heart was pounding, and the more she said it, the more she felt that the truth of this matter was getting higher and higher.
"Yes, although Miaoyin Lady is my apocalyptic person, she betrayed the imperial court, obeyed the arrangement of the Nanchang nobles, and put the wish-wishing grass into this hibiscus cake, otherwise why did the county lord of Huayang give up our Tang Chun's exquisite dim sum and not eat it, but instead wanted to eat this ordinary hibiscus cake?" Tang Chu said bitterly.
This matter was a big case in her previous life, and as for why she knew so much about it, it was because of Zou Shiyan.
At that time, Zou Shiyan would win every battle on the front line, and was known as a victorious general, but sometimes he always suffered defeat against the army of Shangchang.
At first, people thought that Zou Shiyan was just lucky before, and he couldn't beat the really powerful army of Nanchang State, but there is one thing that is very strange, the army of Nanchang State is not strong among the nations, Zou Shiyan's other armies can win, why can't he get here in Nanchang State?
Later, Zou Shiyan found a spy in the army, that person didn't want to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, but their family, young and old, relied on the wishing grass to survive, once this grass stopped taking it, it would make people grow old quickly, and the body would become fragile, and it would not be able to pass for a few months.
And the source of their family's addiction is that his wife befriended Miaoyin Niangzi at a party, and Miaoyin Niang controlled his wife with hibiscus cake with wishing grass, which then made the young general also addicted, and finally collaborated with the enemy to commit treason and leak military information.
