Chapter 724: Embarrassment is a traitorous and reckless shopkeeper
How could this happen? Why did Fu Xiaojiu still provoke King Huan? How good is that? ”
Cold sweat oozed from Lord Jiang's head, he didn't dare to offend anyone, but the lesser of two evils, he had already made a decision, he still had to stand on the side of King Huan, the prince of Dachen.
Fu Xiaojiu attracted everyone's attention along the way, and everyone looked at her fearless appearance, and they all thought that she should be wronged again this time.
King Huan is a prince who is not very favored, he has no talent, not to mention that he has no skills, he spends all day drinking, the emperor no longer has any high hopes for him, as long as he doesn't cause trouble, he can be an idle prince.
When King Huan went to Jingzhao Mansion, Xie Quan also saw it, he was very proud in his heart, and he also blended into the crowd.
As soon as Fu Xiaojiu arrived at Jingzhao Mansion, Master Jiang said first: "I said Fu Langzhong, why are you here again?" Let's not meet in Jingzhao Mansion in the future, right? ”
Fu Xiaojiu glanced at King Huan before he said to Master Jiang: "My lord, the concubine body is not willing to meet you here, there are really people who want the concubine body to come here." ”
Lord Jiang smiled awkwardly, then looked at King Huan and said, "Your Highness, what's going on?" Is there a misunderstanding here? ”
King Huan frowned coldly at him, and said with a calm face: "This king's concubines were all poisoned by her, where is there any misunderstanding?" ”
"What?"
Although Lord Jiang had already known what was going on, he was still shocked when he heard King Huan say this.
If someone really died, Fu Xiaojiu would have to suffer a lawsuit anyway.
"Then may I ask Your Highness do you have any evidence?" Master Jiang asked tentatively.
Without waiting for King Huan to answer, Fu Xiaojiu said first: "If the evidence is not evidence, let him examine the body of his concubine, and then check all the food eaten by the concubine?" My lord, let's just follow the process. ”
Lord Jiang glanced at King Huan again, and King Huan replied lightly: "Although my lord is impartial in handling the case, although this king is a prince, he doesn't want to have any special exceptions. After all, human life is at stake, and if this case is confirmed, the murderer will have to lose his head! ”
King Huan's last sentence accentuated his tone, and he glanced at Fu Xiaojiu with a cold look.
Fu Xiaojiu didn't let him down, and gave him a roll of his eyes.
Master Jiang had no choice but to say, "Okay, this official will send someone to investigate the case according to the process." Please wait a moment. ”
After Master Jiang finished speaking, he instructed the master to bring two chairs and let Fu Xiaojiu and King Huan sit down and wait.
Neither of them gave in and sat down together.
Xu Yuanwai stood beside Fu Xiaojiu and watched for a long time, and then hurriedly came to Fu Xiaojiu's side and asked carefully: "Xiao Jiu, do you have the bottom in your heart?" This time, it was His Royal Highness King Huan who stumbled us! Can we beat him? ”
Fu Xiaojiu endured his anger and said: "Since he framed us like this, he actually wanted to put me to death, if he didn't want to bring us down, he wanted to swallow our shop." I don't care what kind of prince he is, I will fight him to the end! ”
Fu Xiaojiu's pride and courage are admirable, but when he thinks that the other party is the prince, Xu Yuanwai's heart still feels apprehensive.
Fu Xiaojiu touched the token on his waist as he spoke, "Don't forget, I still have the token given by the queen." With this token amulet, no one dares to touch us! ”
Xu Yuanwai said with hope: "Before I came, I had already asked the guys to go to the Zhenting Marquis Mansion to deliver the letter, with the help of the Hou Ye and the prince, we will be fine." ”
Fu Xiaojiu smiled with relief, "Brother-in-law, you are really witty." In that case, what are you worried about? Look at it, King Huan's rogue wishful thinking will definitely fail! ”
King Huan is also confident here, and it is expected that her rich Xiaojiu has the ability to reach the sky with her hands and eyes, and she cannot wash away the suspicion of "murderer".
The poison in the hot pot was put in by him at his behest to put it in, and the concubine was also dead, how could Fu Xiaojiu deny it?
When Xie Quan came to him, he told him that as long as the charges of Fu Xiaojiu and others were confirmed, they would take over the hot pot shop and the skewer shop, and he would split the account with King Huan.
Xie Quan also calculated an account for King Huan, and roughly calculated how much money these two stores could make every day.
This account made King Huan very moved, and vowed to take the two stores as his own.
Xie Quan stood in the crowd at this time and watched everything, no matter how Jingzhao Mansion investigated, Fu Xiaojiu would not be able to escape this time.
As soon as he thought of this, Xie Quan's face showed an extremely proud look, and he sat back and waited to occupy the two restaurants that had a booming business.
Huo Aobang and Zhen Yingzi were all frightened when they heard that Fu Xiaojiu's store had such a problem, after all, it was not ordinary people who went to Fu Xiaojiu to make trouble this time, but the prince.
Huo Oubang twisted his eyebrows and discussed with Zhen Yingzi: "Madam, there must be something strange about this matter. Shall we go directly to Jingzhao Mansion, or will we go to the palace to see the saint? I heard that Wan Lin went to other places to handle cases, and it will only take a month or two to go, so we can't let Fu Langzhong have anything to do during Wan Lin's absence. ”
Zhen Yingzi thought for a while and said: "That King Huan doesn't learn and doesn't know how to sing, and he sings every day in the house, who doesn't know his reputation in the capital?" Xiao Jiu must have been framed for this matter. After all, King Huan is His Majesty's son, and His Majesty will inevitably not be partial. Let's go to Jingzhao Mansion first to see what is going on, and then it is not too late to enter the palace and report to Your Majesty. ”
Huo Aobang nodded and said, "What Madam said is that no matter what Jingzhao Mansion finds, as long as we are here, no one will dare to do this to Fu Langzhong." Let's go to Jingzhao Mansion and have a look! ”
Fortunately, Zhen Yingzi was reluctant to let go of her lovely grandson, so she postponed the schedule of traveling around the country again and again, otherwise now that Huo Jing went to other places to train and was not in the capital, no one would come to help Fu Xiaojiu in time like this.
Xu Yuanwai not only asked people to go to Zhentinghou Mansion to deliver a letter, but also asked people to report to Xu Jingshan, Feng Zhongjun and Bai Yusheng.
After everyone heard the news of the accident in the store, they all rushed to Jingzhao Mansion.
The officials brought the hot pot takeaway and the body of the concubine back to Jingzhao Mansion.
The servants immediately began to conduct a poison and autopsy, and after some testing, they all came to the conclusion that the concubine was indeed poisoned and died, and the poison was in the hot pot.
The evidence was verified, and Lord Jiang had a headache when he saw the evidence presented by him.
At this time, Huo Aobang and his wife, Feng Zhongjun, Xu Jingshan and Bai Yusheng and his wife all rushed to Jingzhao Mansion.
Huo Oubang has never taken advantage of his privileges, this time in order to save Fu Xiaojiu, he and Zhen Yingzi looked majestic and swaggered directly into the court.
"Master Hou, madam? How did you guys get here? ”
As soon as Lord Jiang saw the two of them, he immediately stood up with a sneer.
Huo Oubang said with a straight face: "We heard that someone falsely accused Fu Lang of poisoning people in the hot pot shop opened by Fu Lang. Fu Langzhong is the savior of the prince, that is, the benefactor of the whole family of the Hou Ye, how could the Hou Ye let his benefactor be falsely accused and sit idly by? ”
When Zhenting Hou said this, he glanced at King Huan with disdain.
When the husband and wife walked into Jingzhao Mansion, King Huan's heart was holding back a fire, and now seeing that Huo Aobang really didn't take him seriously, King Huan's anger was a little uncontrollable.
"Marquis Zhenting, as an official of the imperial court, you are deeply blessed by your father, shouldn't you follow Dachen's laws more? Have you seen which court official could trespass into Jingzhao Mansion during the court trial? You are knowing the law and breaking the law! ”
King Huan's "righteous words" were a joke in Huo Aobang's eyes.
"Hehe", Huo Aobang first sneered, and then said: "Your Highness, do you still know the word "knowing the law and breaking the law?" What about your behavior? ”
King Huan said angrily: "What's wrong with this king's behavior? The king's concubine ate the hot pot of her rich Xiaojiu hot pot shop and died of poisoning, is there anything wrong with this king coming to Jingzhao Mansion to sue her? Fortunately, she ate the warm pot, and this king hasn't eaten it yet, otherwise it would be this king who died! ”
After King Huan finished speaking, he threw down his sleeves in great annoyance, but seeing him so angry, Huo Aobang did not have any fearful look.
"Okay, since you said that your concubine was poisoned because she ate the hot pot of Fu Xiaojiu's hot pot shop, then let's wait for a report."
Master Jiang said at this time: "Master Hou, I said that the concubine was indeed poisoned, and the bottom of the warm pot was indeed poisonous!" ”
Although Bai Yusheng and the others were anxious, they all stood outside the door in obedience.
After hearing this, Bai Yusheng couldn't help but shout anxiously: "Lord Qiyu, some poisons were added to the hot pot, or they were in the warm pot before, and they can't be tested if they are not careful!" The grass people asked for a closer examination of the bottom of the pot! ”
If this was someone else, he would definitely be scolded by Master Jiang immediately.
But Bai Yusheng is not an ordinary person, all officials respect him when they see him, and Master Jiang is no exception.
"Bai Langzhong, you are a famous doctor in the capital, and you must have a unique opinion on poison, right?"
Master Jiang is testing Bai Yusheng to see if he really wants to help Fu Xiaojiu.
Bai Yusheng replied: "The third sister-in-law of the grass people is also a famous Langzhong in the capital, and she is more authoritative than the grass people in the matter of drug testing. It's a pity that she is a party to this case and it is inconvenient for her to participate in the drug test, so the grass people want to ask the adults to let the grass people and the adults test the drugs again. ”
Without waiting for Lord Jiang to speak, King Huan reprimanded him arrogantly: "No! You are not a puppet or a person from Jingzhao Mansion, how can you be involved in this case? ”
Huo Aobang replied in a loud voice: "There were also corpses in Jingzhao Mansion that could not be examined before, and I also asked Lang Zhong and some people from the rivers and lakes to help with the autopsy, this is a precedent, why can't Bai Langzhong participate in this case?" ”
Huo Aobang's words blocked King Huan's mouth, and he wanted to say something to talk back, but in the end he closed his mouth,
Lord Jiang was between Huo Aobang's majesty, so he could only follow Huo Aobang's words.
"Your Highness, there has indeed been such a precedent before. At this time, after all, human life is at stake, and for the sake of prudence, Xia Guan also suggested that Bai Langzhong should be tested for drugs again. ”
