There are many people in the kitchen, especially the food is the most likely to be poisoned, so after Wen Yiheng moved to the Wen house, he also arranged manpower in the kitchen, and arranged for the guards to keep an eye on the cooks who prepare to eat every day, in order to prevent someone from poisoning the food.

Pei Kai added: "Childe, I have asked the guards on duty in the kitchen just now, and they can prove that the cook did not behave suspiciously when cooking the sugar water. ”

The chef ruled out suspicion for the time being, and then asked the maid: "Let me ask you, when you brought sugar water to your son-in-law today, did you encounter any suspicious people or things on the way?" ”

"Nope." The maid immediately shook her head, then suddenly nodded and replied anxiously: "Ah, there is! Along the way, I met the Menghan girl and Pei Kai's guards. ”

Wen Yiheng looked at Pei Kai and said coldly, "What do you say?" ”

Pei Kai's face suddenly turned slightly red, and he replied: "At that time, the humble position and Meng Han were just ordinary chats, and Meng Han saw the maid holding the sugar water, so he casually asked if it was the sugar water prepared for the son according to her proposal, and the maid showed us the sugar water. ”

Lan Menghan was assigned by Wen Yiheng to guard Su Jiudong in Qishan County, and it was rare for Peikai to meet Lan Menghan on weekdays.

Su Jiudong came to Wen Mansion every five days to diagnose Wen Yiheng's pulse, and Lan Menghan also came to Wen Mansion with Su Jiudong, and every time he took the initiative to chat with Pei Kai, he also brought different food to Pei Kai, and his eyes were very different when he looked at Pei Kai.

Pei Kai doubted more than once whether Lan Menghan's actions meant something, but Lan Menghan denied it.

"At that time, Menghan and I only looked at each other, and we didn't touch the sugar water, so under the nose of the maid, of course there was no way to poison it." Pei Kai's attitude is very frank and generous, and it doesn't seem like he is lying.

Wen Yiheng raised his eyelids and glanced at Pei Kai, and his tone was inexplicable: "Ordinary chat... How often does she come to you? ”

Pei Kai heard that Wen Yiheng's tone didn't seem to be very good, and was worried that Wen Yiheng would mistakenly think that Lan Menghan was not on duty in Qishan County and ran to Lin'an Mansion for a long time, so he hurriedly explained:

"Not often, that is, every time Miss Su comes to check your pulse, she will come to talk to me."

Pei Kai complained again: "Miss Su sometimes diagnoses the pulse of her son for a long time, maybe Menghan is bored waiting outside, so she comes to me." ”

"I see. It seems that you also told her the news that your son-in-law couldn't sleep well at night...... "Su Jiudong was able to confirm at this time that Lan Menghan should have learned from Pei Kai about Wen Yiheng's coughing up phlegm and blood at night.

Pei Kai frowned slightly, and wondered: "Miss Su is not mistaken, the humble position has never mentioned to Mengji that Gongzi can't sleep well at night. ”

"Call her."

Wen Yiheng's tone was even more unkind: "Even if the pulse is diagnosed for a long time, she should wait." The task I gave her was to guard Jiudong, and she couldn't leave her post to neglect her duties just because Miss Su came into the house to check my pulse. That's how I taught you before? ”

Pei Kai realized that Wen Yiheng was not an ordinary joke, but really serious, and immediately put away the courage to dare to gag with Wen Yiheng, and held his hands and clenched his fists and bowed three times: "What Childe said is that it is the negligence of the lowly rank." ”

Lan Menghan was quickly called by the other guards, and when he entered the door, he saw that all the people in the house had serious expressions, and he still saluted Wen Yiheng unhurriedly: "I don't know why Gongzi called the lowly office?" ”

"Where did you go just now?" Wen Yiheng asked in a cold voice: "Miss Su is in the study, you shouldn't run around." ”

Lan Menghan looked normal and said: "Hui Gongzi, I was guarding Miss Su in the courtyard and outside the study just now, and I have never been anywhere. ”

Wen Yiheng began to ask repeatedly: "Pei Kai said, when you talked to him today, you asked to see the sugar water you sent me, is it true?" ”

Lan Menghan glanced at Pei Kai and replied, "Hui Gongzi, what Pei Kai said is indeed true. He and I saw the maid passing by with sugar water in the courtyard of the East Wing, so I wanted to ask if I had made lotus seed lily white fungus soup for you to take according to my suggestion. ”

Wen Yiheng shook his hands into fists, and knocked lightly on the square table with a slow rhythm, his tone was no longer serious just now, but a little more relaxed: "Have you been to any other place except for the East Wing Courtyard and the study today?" Have you ever left the house? ”

"I have been guarding Miss Su in the house, and I have never left to go elsewhere." After being asked so many questions by Wen Yiheng in a row, Lan Menghan still stood up straight, with a respectful attitude, and did not show the slightest impatience.

Wen Yiheng stopped knocking on the table, and the corners of his mouth provoked a chuckle: "Really?" Do you receive an order to stay outside the study today, and when I am poisoned, cut off my head and bring it back, or do you bring back my whole corpse? ”

"Hui Gongzi, is the head ......" Lan Menghan replied subconsciously, and suddenly found that he was lured by Wen Yiheng to leak his mouth and say the plan, and immediately shut up and was stunned on the spot.

"Menghan, what are you talking about?" Su Jiudong and Pei Kai realized that Lan Menghan had said something terrible, and they were also stunned. Good Chinese

Only Wen Yiheng stood up calmly, picked up the shorter sheep's hair brush and walked in front of Lan Menghan, and sighed: "It's really you..."

"Just bring back the head?" Wen Yiheng raised the brush in front of Lan Menghan's eyes and pointed to the melted sheep's hair. chuckled: "It seems that the poison can really dissolve my body...... It's as easy as melting these sheep's hair. ”

Lan Menghan knelt on his knees with a "bang", and stretched out his hand as if he wanted to hug Wen Yiheng's thigh, but he immediately withdrew his hand, lowered his head, and said in a hoarse voice: "Childe! The lowly duty betrayed you, and the lowly duty was wrong! ”

"Menghan, what's going on?" Pei Kai pulled Lan Menghan's arm and wanted to pull her up, and asked in disbelief, "How could you betray Childe?" ”

Su Jiudong, who retracted his mind, didn't react too much to Lan Menghan's betrayal, and only let out a faint "oh" in his heart.

"I always thought your attitude was weird, but now I'm sure that there is no unwarranted suspicion, and you are really a traitor." Su Jiudong sat back on the couch, supporting his body with his hands back, his voice was lazy but cold.

"You are sure you did the poisoning today. Earlier, your son-in-law went to pick up An'er from school, and the poisonous silver needle was also shot by you. Su Jiudong connected the small accidents such as Wen Yiheng's frequent poisoning during this period of time, and brought it to Lan Menghan.

"At that time, all the secret guards around your son-in-law were assigned to go out on a mission, and you were the only one who stayed in Qishan County. He said that he was in the shadows as he was told, but instead provided you with the opportunity to assassinate your son-in-law, after all, we don't know where you are hiding in the shadows. ”

Lan Menghan raised her head and stared at Su Jiudong with red eyes, and before she could answer Su Jiudong's question, she was preemptively replied by Pei Kai:

"Miss Su, do you know that the killer who shot the poison needle at Gongzi that day has been caught and interrogated by us, and it was not Menghan's doing. Miss Su can't suspect Meng Han just because only Meng Han is left. ”

Su Jiudong was not annoyed that Pei Kai spoke for Lan Menghan, after all, the friendship that had been together for several years was there, and she couldn't force Pei Kai to see Lan Menghan's true face immediately.

"Caught?" Su Jiudong's inquiring gaze fell on Wen Yiheng, and he coughed lightly: "Was that killer captured by you together, or was he caught by Lan Menghan alone?" ”

Pei Kai was stunned for a moment, and secretly thought for a while before he replied in a deep voice: "...... It was Menghan who caught it himself. ”

Su Jiudong confirmed his conjecture, straightened up, and said, "The killer was caught by Lan Menghan alone. Either she's super skilled and fast, and can quickly lock on a suspect in a short period of time. Either the killer is just a lamb who takes the blame for others. ”

Su Jiudong walked up to Lan Menghan, gently touched Lan Menghan's knee with the tip of his shoe, and asked condescendingly, "What do you say?" Is it a frank confession or a continuation of the quibble? ”

“…… I did it. In order that you may not be suspicious, the man came to take my place. Lan Menghan lowered his head in mourning, and he didn't mean to struggle or quibble at all.

Wen Yiheng forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked quietly: "Poisoned me twice before and after, your new master must be very anxious to kill me." ”

"Twice? More than twice? Su Jiudong stretched out five fingers with his right hand and stretched out in front of Wen Yiheng's eyes, correcting: "Counting the number of times you have been attacked in your room in my house, there are more than five times in total." ”

Wen Yiheng told the truth: "The previous attacks in my room were done by someone I sent. ”

"You sent someone to assassinate yourself? Why...... Are you fishing for law enforcement? Su Jiudong reacted instantly.

"Childe?" Lan Menghan raised his head in surprise, looked at Wen Yiheng with round eyes, and said in a dumb voice: "It turns out that you have long suspected me......"

Wen Yiheng stared at Lan Menghan, pain and regret flashed in his eyes: "Not bad." Suspicion requires verification, and I did this in order to catch you, the traitor. ”

"At first, I was hesitant to do it, because I didn't want to lose your right-hand man."

Lan Menghan is agile, especially good at light skills, and he can easily walk the eaves and walls. is also a rare female secret guard, Wen Yiheng once wanted Lan Menghan to follow Su Jiudong to guard in secret, and entrust Su Jiudong's safety and life to Lan Menghan.

Wen Yiheng was very sorry for Lan Menghan's betrayal, but the facts were in front of him, so he had to break his wrist and give up Lan Menghan, a carefully cultivated secret guard.

"There were those sneak attacks, and you were able to hold your breath and not expose yourself. It wasn't until we talked in my room that night that you were so sure that the same killers didn't do the same thing, that I was able to prove that you were the traitor. ”

Su Jiudong didn't know about the situation that Wen Yiheng was discussing in the house that night, so Wen Yiheng deliberately made it clearer: "You were very sure that night that those small attacks that happened in my room were not done by the dead soldiers sent by the prince. ”

Why are you so sure? Because the person who shot the poison needle that time was you, and you are now working for the crown prince. That's why you can be sure that those small attacks have nothing to do with the dead soldiers sent by the prince, and assert that they were not sent by the prince. ”

"Dream Cold! Did you really do it? Pei Kai didn't know about Wen Yiheng's plan, and he had always thought that the many attacks were done by dead soldiers sent by the prince.
