Chapter 460: Poisoning
And me! Xiao Qi came out of the main courtyard, and the python whip in her hand was thrown to the ground, stirring up dust all over the ground and flying around.
"Ahem, are you trying to rebel?" Yuan Hong was choked and coughed violently.
"You forced the rebellion too!" When Xiao Qiyi heard this, she was really angry, and her whip was raised again, heading straight for Yuan Hong's front door.
"Ahh Yuan Hong didn't expect Xiao Qi to really dare to make a move, he was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and closed his eyes in fear.
"Xiao Qi, don't mess around!" Just when the tip of the snake-like whip was whistling and was about to bite Yuan Hong's face, Zhao Ji'an, who rushed back, jumped from the red-maned horse, took two steps in the void, and grabbed the whip in an instant.
"Lord Yuan is frightened, the apprentice is stubborn, I will definitely punish him well!" Zhao Ji'an protected Ruyi and Xiao Qi behind him, and saluted with his fists.
"Hmph, it's good to know, I don't care about her, you just hand over the prisoner!" Yuan Hong bluffed his waist, swept away the embarrassment just now, and said arrogantly.
"Shicai, King Yan has already entered the palace and returned to the emperor, if I hand over the person to you at this time, I will have to bother you to send it back, how troublesome it is, it is better to ...... Wait another day. Zhao Ji'an said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"I'm not afraid of trouble, you quickly bring people out!" Yuan Hong waved his hand impatiently.
"Lord Yuan, Sister Du Mei is the granddaughter of Marquis Xu, you won't know this, besides, Du Mei is very happy with the Queen Mother, and she is the lord of Qinghe County, the so-called please God is easy to send God, you will not be able to arrest her sister as a prisoner at this time, I'm afraid, you will not be so easy to send her back."
If you insist on coming strongly, don't say it slowly, you will lose the face of our Yanwang Mansion, if the Queen Mother is investigated in the future, can you still sit comfortably in the position of the servant of the Criminal Department? Zhao Ji'an was kind of persuasion on the surface, but his words were full of warnings, although the harem did not interfere in politics, but there were many people in the court who coveted this position, and those people naturally knew how to please the superiors, and by the way, they fulfilled themselves.
"You ......" Yuan Hong was so angry that his eyebrows trembled, and he pointed at Zhao Ji'an and said, "Okay, you wait, I'll go and ask for the holy decree, and then I'll see if you have anything else to say!" ”
After speaking, the angry Yuan Hong flicked the sleeves of his robe, turned around and left, and the soldiers put away their swords and left.
"Ji'an, why are you back, Lord Wang?" Ruyi grabbed Zhao Ji'an's sleeve and looked up at him nervously.
"Let's go back." Zhao Ji'an watched Yuan Hong take people away and said in a low voice.
In front of the Yanwang Mansion, the craftsmen who sold sugar gourds and sharpened scissors shouted again, and three or five beggars sat back in the corner of the nest wind to bask in the sun.
Xiao Qi went to the main courtyard to accompany Du Ying, and the Ruyi sisters and brothers sat in the side hall and talked.
"Why did you come back in a hurry?" Ruyi brewed a cup of bird's tongue and handed it to Zhao Ji'an.
"Yuan Hong and his people went out of the Criminal Department, and the secret guards in our house sent me a letter, at this time the prince is in the palace, it will probably be delayed for a while, and I will have to rush back." Zhao Ji'an took the teacup and took a sip.
"I see that little girl is really pitiful, how old she is, how can she poison people." Ruyi said sympathetically.
"Sister, you and I are both the prince's servants, she is the descendant of Xu Houye, and she is Du Mei's sister, the prince loves the house and Wu, and he will definitely protect her." Zhao Ji'an thought about it and couldn't help but remind.
"Don't worry, your sister has gone through so many things, can't she see it, can't you understand, when she was still a country girl, I couldn't compare, not to mention that she has such a prominent background now, it is a matter of time before she becomes Princess Yan, I hope she will not embarrass me in the future." Ruyi smiled self-deprecatingly.
There's nothing wrong with liking someone, it's just that the person doesn't like you at the same time, but likes someone else.
"It's best if you think like this, Dad is relieved in Yandi." Zhao Ji'an drank all the tea in the cup, and then said, "You are good to take care of the mansion, and I will wait for the prince outside the palace gate." ”
Ruyi nodded solemnly, Zhao Ji'an hurriedly went out of the door, walked halfway down, and met Chu Lin, who was returning with a frosty face.
"How's it going?" Chu Lin didn't see Zhao Ji'an, who was usually waiting, when he left the palace, he knew that something was wrong.
"Yuan Hong is here, I sent him away." Zhao Ji'an turned his horse's head and followed behind Chu Lin.
"Yuan Hong won't give up, it's not a matter of dragging on every day, you quietly send Du Ying to Murong Xi's humble garden at night." Chu Lin heard Zhao Ji'an tell the ins and outs of the matter, and twisted his eyebrows.
"Does the emperor still refuse to believe you?" Zhao Ji'an asked in a low voice.
"The king of Shu deliberately defeated Mei Ji, it can be said that he did everything, this time there were so many lives, the people did not know the reason, they all blamed Mei Ji, the people in the market were indignant, and some people in the court took the opportunity to fan the flames, and the emperor ...... He was embarrassed by it. Chu Lin shook his head and said.
"Do you want to ask the Queen Mother to come forward......" Zhao Ji'an glanced at Chu Lin, and stopped talking.
"The Queen Mother's head wind, good and bad, has been delayed for a long time, I can't be filial piety in front of the bed, how dare I disturb it, now I can only save Du Ying first, and then slowly visit Ma Rong, there is always a chance to clarify the truth." Chu Lin shook the reins and drove the horse galloping.
"Sakura, you and Xiao Qi will stay in Murong Xi's Mansion for a few days, and after a while, I will pick you up." Chu Lin handed a swallow-blue rabbit fur cloak to Du Ying and said gently.
"Okay." Du Ying nodded obediently.
After the morning's incident, she didn't say it, but she knew in her heart that although Chu Lin was a prince, there were times when he was helpless, and only by hiding elsewhere could he start investigating the case and help her clear up her grievances.
"Since Sakurako is leaving, let's go with us." Miao hugged Du Zao and said.
"It's okay, you have a good place to take care of." Chu Lin nodded.
"Lord Wang, the carriage of the West Corner Gate is ready." Zhao Ji'an came in and returned.
"Then let's go, have you arranged for someone to follow you on the way?" Chu Lin asked uneasily.
"It's all right, I've agreed with Sect Master Murong Shao, and he will send someone to answer it." Zhao Ji'an nodded.
Xiao Qi bowed, Du Ying and Miao bent down to bless, and as soon as a few people walked out of the main courtyard, they saw Yuan Hong breaking in with the holy decree in his hand.
"Choking", Zhao Ji'an couldn't help but say, the sword has been unsheathed, protecting them in front of them, Xiao Qi's whip is also clenched in his hand, as long as he doesn't agree with a word, he will start fighting immediately!
"The Holy Purpose is this, who dares to make a time!" Yuan Hong triumphantly held up the holy decree, as if it were his talisman.
"This king has just returned from the palace, how can he not know that there is such a holy decree? Besides, what about the chamberlain who proclaimed the decree? Chu Lin stepped forward majestically.
"The Yan Wangfu has repeatedly disobeyed the holy will, and the emperor was furious and ordered me to take people with the decree immediately, fortunately I came in time, otherwise the offender would have run away!" Yuan Hong pointed to Du Ying, who was wearing a rabbit fur cloak, and waved to the soldiers who came with him.
"I'm going to see who dares to catch someone in my house!" Chu Lin shouted loudly.
Hearing this, the soldiers shrank their necks in fright one by one and stopped moving.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, the duck lo-mei in the Meiji deli caused many deaths, and the criminal department is now ordered to arrest the real culprit, find out the facts of the case, and return justice to the people. Seeing this, Yuan Hong unfolded the holy decree and read the sermon hurriedly.
"Please don't embarrass King Yan!" Yuan Hong closed the holy decree and pulled the corners of his mouth and said.
"The holy decree says that the real murderer, who is the real murderer, do you know!" Chu Lin looked at him disdainfully.
"The duck lo-mei in Meiji Deli is made by Du Ying, according to the family of the victim, the deceased have eaten this dish, as long as she is arrested and the kitchen of the deli is inspected, the source of the poison will definitely be found, and then it will naturally come out!" Yuan Hong said conclusively.
"It's a shame that you're still a servant of the Criminal Department, it's extremely stupid! Mei Ji is in the food business, just imagine, Du Ying poisoned his duck lo-mei, which is good for Mei Ji in addition to self-deprivation? Besides, if she really hurts someone, why don't she run away and wait for you to come to the door to arrest her? Chu Lin coldly reprimanded.
"A small amount of smoke can add flavor and flavor, and it can also make people addictive, Du Ying mixed more tobacco into her own duck lo-mei, perhaps the original intention was not to harm people's lives, but to make diners addicted and firmly grasp the source of money, who knows, she couldn't grasp the amount, and added more at once, poisoning many people." Yuan Hong self-righteously analyzed.
"You talk nonsense, I didn't!" Hearing his slander out of nothing, Du Ying was so anxious that she jumped to her feet and yelled.
"Even if as you said, where did Du Ying get the big smoke, you know, it is a felony for the people to hide the big smoke!" Chu Lin's sword eyebrows tightened, and his face was cold.
"Big smoke is indeed banned by the imperial court, I am afraid that it is not easy for others to obtain, and they are afraid that it will be easy, her uncle Zhong Yu is the holy hand of the injury department, how can his Yu Jitang not have tobacco ointment?
As far as I know, the old man of the Du family has tuberculosis, and a few months before his death, he relied on the mysterious potion of Du Mei to continue his life, her grandmother said, the potion has a strange fragrance and miraculous effect, I dare to conclude that this mysterious potion is made of smoke ointment, how can ordinary drugs make him endure the pain of piercing his heart and bones!
Besides, when Baiyun Villa was under the name of the Marquis of Zhongyi, it was the place where Mrs. Bai planted warbler millet and refined medicine, it was located in the deep mountains, but it was not far from Jiangling City, which was both convenient and unknown, and no one knew how much smoke was hidden there.
Just like the above two convenient ways, the big smoke is not at your fingertips for Du Ying! Yuan Hong is obviously fully prepared for this moment.
"You're talking nonsense! Tobacco paste has always been controlled by the imperial court, it is all registered, signed and painted before it can be purchased, and each medical hall has more or less some inventory, which is used to relieve the pain of those terminally ill patients. ”
"And you say that Baiyun Villa has big smoke is nonsense, when the civil strife was in the year, the villa was suddenly thundered, and the wildfire burned half of the mountain, except for the houses on the hillside, the fields were all burned down, if not, how could Jiang Yi change its name and surname for so many years and take it for himself!" Chu Lin refuted his words one by one.
"It's useless to talk more, King Yan has offended, come and bring people to commit crimes!" Yuan Hong had already lost his patience and didn't want to debate with Chu Lin, so he waved his hand to arrest people.
The soldiers rushed up, Zhao Ji'an and the guards in the house stood in a row of human walls, each holding a sword, for a while, two groups of people fought in one place, the swords intersected, there was a sonorous sound, blood splattered, and screamed again and again!
"Stop! Stop it! A young man held the Ming Huang Holy Decree in his hand and ran in quickly.
