441 Secret compartment in the study
Facing a few pairs of inquiring eyes, Zhang Luan shook his head.
"I've asked carefully and checked everything, and there is nothing unusual in the kitchen. Perhaps, it's not a matter of diet. β
Zhang Meishou subconsciously shook his head in denial.
If she hadn't clearly known that there was a poison-repelling pearl, she might have thought like this and would have been misled.
Although my father was cautious and careful, he must have missed something this time......
Seeing that his father and Zhu Youzhu turned to discuss starting from elsewhere to investigate, Zhang Meishou looked at Zhang Qiuchi's little servant again, and said: "Ah Fu, what have you eaten for the second son in the past two days, tell me as carefully as possible one by one, think about it carefully, and don't miss anything."
My father must have asked and checked these questions a long time ago.
But there must be something that has been overlooked-
Ah Fu has a good memory, and because he just looked at the food records of Fuzhong in the past two days in the kitchen, he answered Zhang Qiuchi at this time for three meals a day in the past two days, and almost didn't even say the name of every dish.
Zhang Luan said on the side: "Regarding diet, everything that can be checked has been checked. It is which dishes are handled by which cook in each meal, and the ingredients, and utensils, and the people who pass the meal, all of which have been carefully inquired and ruled out - these have not been able to find out the slightest abnormality for the time being. β
In the years when he was a county magistrate in Huzhou, he accumulated a lot of experience in handling cases. When faced with such things, he set out to investigate, which was particularly thorough and efficient.
Of course, at the moment, time is pressing, and we are only doing a general elimination, and if nothing can be found out in the end, then we need to dig deeper and re-investigate.
No matter how clever the means are, there will be omissions, which is inevitable.
"What about other than three meals a day?" Zhang Meishou asked unrelentingly.
Ah Fu shook his head without thinking about it.
"The eldest prince has never liked sweets and snacks, except for three meals a day, he rarely eats anything else."
Of course, there are still some snacks in the kitchen that are routinely delivered.
But those dim sums, if they are fresh and delicious, the eldest prince will most likely send them to the courtyard of the third son and the fourth son, and if they are ordinary, they will simply give them a share of food.
Ah Fu also told Zhang Qiuchi's habits.
Zhang Meishou was about to ask about the tea, but when he saw that Ah Fu suddenly remembered something, his eyes flickered and said, "No...... Before going to the front hall today, the eldest prince may have eaten a few pieces of dim sum! β
"Perhaps?" Zhang Meishou frowned and asked.
Ah Fu nodded: "Because after the snack was delivered, the servant went to the study to sort out the pen and ink for the eldest prince, so I didn't see with my own eyes whether the eldest prince ate or notββ"
"Was there anyone else around the eldest prince at that time?" Zhu Youzhu asked.
Almost at the same moment, Zhang Meishou also hurriedly asked, "Where did you send the dim sew?" β
Most of the snacks in the kitchen are sent to the courtyards in the afternoon.
Because the two of them asked questions at the same time, they subconsciously glanced at each other after asking.
It was Zhang Luan and Song, who also glanced at the two.
There was a brief subtlety in the atmosphere.
Ah Fu was stunned for a moment, and then replied in turn: "At that time, there was no one around Gongzi to serve him, but he went back to the inner room alone-the snack was sent by the third girl." β
The third girl is notoriously fond of cooking, and it is not surprising that she makes some snacks and sends them to the eldest prince, and he did not pay too much attention to it at the time.
Zhang Meishou felt that it was wrong.
"Even if there is no one to serve you at the time, how long will it last to collect the pen and ink? Didn't you and the rest of the people clean up after that? Have you eaten dim sum, and if there is any leftover, how can you not know? The boy asked.
Although Brother Zhang is sympathetic to his subordinates, he can't do everything himself.
Zhang Meishou: "......"
This is exactly what she wants to ask, and it is too much of a coincidence.
At the mention of this, Ah Fu's expression suddenly became a little evasive and hesitant.
"Speak quickly!" Zhang Luan scolded in a low voice: "So far, what else is there to hide? Or are you related to the poisoning of the eldest prince? β
When Ah Fu heard the second half of the sentence, his face turned pale with fright, and he quickly shook his head and denied it: "The slave doesn't dare!" β
While speaking, he looked at Song on the side with a frightened and cowardly look.
Song looked terrified.
ββ¦β¦β
This feeling is all too familiar, right?
As if in the next sentence, this little guy is about to identify her!
But every time something happens to Chi'er, she has to be framed once, right?
And the people behind them are too stupid, their Zhang family is not what it used to be, and now it is as close as an iron bucket, from the big room to the second room to the Songhe Hall, which one would not believe her Song family?
Song was very confident in his character, just waiting for Ah Fu to speak.
Who knows, Ah Fu said cowardly: "...... After the slave left the study, the eldest prince took the snacks into the study again, and those snacks were all placed in the secret compartment of the study...... Yes, the slave doesn't know if the eldest prince has eaten it himself. β
"Dark? What dark grid? Zhang Luan asked with a frown.
Ah Fu's face became more and more embarrassed, and he didn't have the courage to speak directly.
Zhang Meishou's heart moved.
It doesn't matter what kind of secret compartment it is, since the dim sum was put in this morning, it should still be there now.
If there is a problem, you will know it at a check.
"Take us to see it." She gave Ah Fu a command, and then turned and walked ahead.
Ah Fu hurriedly followed.
Zhang Luan and Song also walked quickly.
Because of seeing Ah Fu's reaction in his eyes, Zhu Youzhu didn't go too far at this time, just waited quietly outside, and raised his hand to stop Dr. Fu, who wanted to show himself.
Dr. Fu stopped.
Ahem, I'm ashamed, I pushed too hard......
In the study, Ah Fu walked to the bookshelf and took down a landscape map hanging on the wall.
After the landscape drawing, most of the wall was hollowed out, and the dark grid was about half the size of a painting.
Seeing the things in the dark compartment clearly, the expressions of the Song family and Zhang Luan and the husband and wife all changed.
It's a tabletβ
The tablet is compiled on the seven gold lacquer characters of "Xiangxi Miao's spiritual position".
ββ¦β¦β
After Song Shi saw this line clearly, he couldn't help but feel the slightest anger in his heart, and even his eyes were suddenly a little sour, and his heart was even more crumbling, and he couldn't tell what it was like.
Chi'er secretly set up a tablet for the Miao family and worshiped in secret - he didn't complain that Ah Fu didn't dare to speak out, and he looked at her vigorously.
At this time, Ah Fu didn't forget to defend himself: "The slave was only discovered by accident recently, and I didn't know about it at first......"
No one would believe such nonsense, but no one paid attention to him at this time.
Zhang Meishou had already asked Ah Li to take out the two plates of dim sum in the dark grid.
"Will draw...... Let's hang it back first. β
Zhang Luan glanced at his wife's expression, and then ordered: "Quickly invite Dr. Fu to come in and have a look-"
