Chapter 120: Cannibalism
Hearing Wei Lingjue mention the word "mother", Li Xiao finally grasped the idea of talent in her mind.
"It's just speculation, but it's impossible!" Li Xiao said in a low voice, and when he wanted to continue, he saw Wei Lingjun's figure striding over from not far away.
Behind him, followed by several sturdy attendants, a middle-aged woman and a maid, followed closely.
When he walked in front of Li Xiao and Wei Lingjue, he unconsciously paused, glanced at them meaningfully, and went inside.
Li Xiao also raised her heels, she wanted to see if this result was the same as she expected.
"Father, this is the cook in charge of tonight's feast!" Wei Lingjun pointed to the middle-aged woman who was so frightened that she had lost her three souls and said.
"Grandpa Guo, wronged, I didn't poison you..."The woman knelt on the ground and cried.
"Liu Niang, let me ask you." Hearing her cry out for injustice, Wei Lingjun turned around: "You made that soup with your own hands?" ”
"Yes!"
"Can someone else handle it in between?"
"Nope!" Liu Niang shook her head.
"And what else do you have to say?" Wei Lingjue asked again, his cold face looked a little crazy.
Li Xiao looked at them and sat leisurely on the chair next to him. She had roughly drawn an outline in her mind.
"If you didn't give the poison, that means it was given by someone when you were passing the meal?" Wei Lingjun said, his eyes fell on the maid on the side, "That's you!" ”
"It's not me, it's really not me..., Grandpa Guo, it's really not me!" Xu was frightened, and the maid's words were a little incoherent, but they still did not prevent her from denying the crime.
Two people were arrested, but there was still no result. One by one, he cried and vetoed, and the anger in Wei Zhun's heart suddenly rose. grabbed the teacup in his hand and threw it towards Wei Lingjun.
After the sound of "bang", it was followed by Wei Zhun's angry rebuke.
"That's the result of your interrogation?"
"Father, people who have been in contact with soup soup can be ruled out, only the two of them, there is no way to prove their innocence. I think one of the two of them must have been poisoned. Wei Lingjue said, unconsciously stopped, and the appearance of wanting to speak and stopping seemed to be saying that there was something else unspeakable in this.
Wei Zhunyou also saw his hesitation, so he ordered: "If you have something to say, say it directly!" ”
"Yes!" He leaned down, turned around, and looked at the cook. "Liu Niang, let me ask you. What is the difference between tonight's soup and the banquet at another time? ”
"Tonight..., the cook raised her head, glanced at Wei Lingjun, and said: "Tonight's soup is different, and I specially made it according to everyone's different tastes!" ”
"Oh? So how did you know the taste of everyone? Wei Lingjun asked again.
"I know the tastes of the people in our house, only the county lord..."
"How's the county lord?"
"After passing the meal, I quietly went to the hall and secretly observed the county lord, which dish to thank you, so as to infer the county lord's preferences."
In ordinary people's homes, it is not impossible to use some mind, ponder what the owner likes, and make himself more pleasing in this way. But in the royal family, this is a big taboo.
When the words were asked, Li Xiao already understood. But she remained silent, watching what Wei Lingjun would do next.
"Before you did this, your master didn't tell you, is it taboo to speculate on the mind of the county lord?"
The cook lady was not surprised, and suddenly raised her head and looked at Wei Lingjue.
