Chapter 263: The General's Wine

Duhe paused, and then said: "Calculate the time, back then, Master Zhang Sichun was the envoy of the Tai Hospital after Li Weizhong's death. And when His Royal Highness was in Yunjiang a while ago, he heard the news from his father-in-law that the master went to lock the forest in Yunjiang in order to find the recipe for the Nine Turns Soul Rejuvenation Soup......"

Chu Yijian's eyebrows frowned slightly: "After Zhang Sichun took over the Tai Hospital, my father got two medical books from the imperial grandmother. Zhang Sichun must be able to distinguish the authenticity of the medical book...... In other words, when the father got two medical books from the imperial grandmother, it was already fake? Otherwise, Zhang Sichun would not have left Beijing to go to Yunjiang to find the Nine Turns Soul Restoration Soup. ”

"Exactly."

Duhe said: "How did Li Weizhong, who treated the emperor, die, why are these two medical books in the hands of the Queen Mother, the master went to Yunjiang to find the recipe for the Nine Turns Soul Rejuvenation Soup, and the emperor must have known about it, but it is unknown whether the master told the emperor the authenticity of this medical book......

Speaking of this, he thought of something again, and hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness sent the shadow guard to investigate before, and the whereabouts of the general's wine in the past fifteen years in Yunjiang Wan'an Fang, the shadow guard has already found out. Most of the wine was sent to the palace through the hands of the chess father...... Those wines were all placed by Zhou Jinxi and did not go through the Inner Servant Province. ”

These words made Chu Yi's eyes darken slightly.

When he was in Yunjiang, his father-in-law had intervened in Xiao Yuanliang and Zhao Baoquan's poisoning of the Shen brothers and sisters without authorization.

Then, after his father and he were assassinated, the father-in-law suddenly died in Yunjiang.

The father-in-law of chess was originally the secret stake set up by his father in Yunjiang, and it is said that he collected the general's wine in Yunjiang and sent it to the palace, which is really ordinary.

It's just that that night Chu Yi found in the Chengen Mansion that the prince was very familiar with the general's wine in Yunjiang, and he was suspicious, so he sent someone to investigate.

Now, the clues of the wine have been found on the heads of Father-in-law Qi and Zhou Jinxi, and it is really difficult for Chu Yi not to think about it.

After all, in Chu Yi's opinion, if his father gave the general wine, it would never be possible to give it only to the emperor's brother, but not to the Yi Palace.

Thinking of this, Chu Yi's eyes became darker, and there was a faint dark tide surging.

"You've been busy all night, and go back and rest, I'll meet him." He said in a calm voice.

Twilight shook his head: "I've dealt with him all night, and I know him very well, so I'll take His Highness over." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and led the way, leading Chu Yi towards the depths of the North Prison.

The two walked for about half a cup of tea before arriving at the cell where Zhou Jinxi was held.

There was a "squeak" and the cell door opened.

Twilight He was guarding outside the door, and Chu Yi walked into the cell where Zhou Jinxi was being held alone, with a solemn face.

Under the bright candlelight, Zhou Jinxi was tied to the torture rack.

He was still wearing the robes of the great eunuch.

Although the robe looked dirty, there were no obvious scars on the body.

If it weren't for Zhou Jinxi's pale face and cold sweat that had wet all his hair, he wouldn't have seen that he had been tortured all night.

"Put him down." Chu Yi said lightly.

The shadow guard came in from outside, stepped forward to untie the rope that bound Zhou Jinxi, and let Zhou Jinxi fall to the ground with his strength.

Zhou Jinxi struggled to give Chu Yi a salute, but he was so painful that he couldn't move, so he had to tremble and confess: "Xie, Your Highness Xie......"

Chu Yi sat on the chair brought by the shadow guard, and Gu Jingwubo's phoenix eyes stared at Zhou Jinxi coldly.

"Grandpa Zhou is tired." He said lightly: "This king came here specially, there is one more thing to ask my father-in-law, if it is true, this king will let my father-in-law go out immediately." If you don't say it...... The father-in-law stayed in Beiya until the day his father woke up. ”

Zhou Jinxi's body trembled slightly: "Your Highness, please ask." ”

If it is really a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, when he hears Chu Yi ask, he will probably say: "The slave must know everything and say everything." ”

But Zhou Jinxi didn't.

It seemed that he had been tortured by prison, and he didn't even have the strength to look up.

Actually......

Chu Yi looked at him, his fingers clenching the hem of his clothes, and a trace of darkness crossed his phoenix eyes.

He asked in a flat voice: "There is a kind of wine in Yunjiang, called General Wine, and the output is very small, which is very rare. This king went to Yunjiang this time, and was fortunate to get two altars, and he missed it very much after eating...... I heard that Father-in-law Qi has to send a few altars back to the palace from Yunjiang every year, does Father-in-law Zhou know where all those wines are now? ”

Zhou Jinxi heard Chu Yi's question, and his hand tightly picked at his clothes, and suddenly relaxed.

But then, as if he thought of something, his fingers tightened again.

He was silent for a long time before he pondered: "The slave maid just listened to the emperor's orders, and the general was drunk...... The slave maid heard that it was the emperor's favorite drink during his lifetime, and the emperor asked Qitian to pay tribute, all of which were stored in the wine cellar of the private library, and the emperor rarely touched those wines on weekdays, only, only when he missed the first emperor, he would bring one or two altars, and go out of the palace to worship the emperor's mausoleum. ”

Chu Yifeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and his cold and majestic gaze fell on Zhou Jinxi's hand, and he asked casually: "Besides, is there no other place to go?" ”

Zhou Jinxi's fingers trembled invisibly.

"Nope." He replied, "Except for those brought by the emperor to the imperial tomb, the rest are all in the private cellar. ”

Chu Yi was silent for a long time, and asked lightly, "What are you talking about...... But is it all true? ”

"It's the truth." Zhou Jinxi raised his head reluctantly and said weakly: "The slave and maid dare not lie to His Highness." ”

These words made Chu Yi's eyes darken.

He stood up with a blank face, and without a moment's pause, walked straight out of the cell.

When his figure disappeared at the doorβ€”

Zhou Jinxi's hand that was tightly picking at his clothes finally let go, and the whole person collapsed on the ground......

Chu Yi walked out of the cell, his face was cold, and he walked out of the North Prison without saying a word.

When he walked to the ground and closed the secret door, Twilight, who followed behind him, opened his mouth thoughtfully: "When His Royal Highness Fang Cai gave Zhou Jinxi a chance to leave the North Prison, he behaved very calmly. In the end, when His Highness asked him what he was telling the truth, he emphasized that he 'dare not lie to His Highness', which sounded ...... As if he was afraid that His Highness would not believe his words, the attitude before and after this is really intriguing. ”

These words made Chu Yi, who had a cold expression after coming out of the cell, his face even more cold.

"A person who is not even afraid of death will only try to make people believe his lies when he meets someone he wants to protect." Chu Yi said in a deep voice.

Twilight and his eyebrows moved slightly.

He originally wanted to ask Zhou Jinxi who the person he wanted to "protect" was.

But when he raised his eyes, he saw Chu Yi's face sinking to the extreme, and he could swallow the question that came to his mouth.

"Then what is Zhou Jinxi going to do now?" Twilight asked.

"Send it back to the palace, this king wants to see what the person he wants to protect will do to him if he knows that he has leaked secrets." Chu Yi ordered in a cold voice.
