Chapter 45: The Truth Comes Out
"Tell me, what's going on. Wu Mao asked the people below seriously.
The proprietress told the story from beginning to end, and the chef just lowered his head and shook his head vigorously.
"I really just took laxatives, and it really didn't hurt anyone."
The proprietress just waited resentfully for the beard, her eyes full of disappointment.
"Your Majesty, look at this-since this beard has admitted that he has taken the medicine, then, this crime is condemned, right?" Wu Mao turned his head and looked at Baili Canglian as if flattering.
Qin Susu frowned.
"Didn't Lord Wu hear clearly? He said that he was given laxatives, and laxatives were just laxatives, so how could he kill people? ”
This beard looks like an honest man, and there's no reason to do that!
Qin Susu raised his head, but he could see that Wu Mao's eyes couldn't stop flickering, and in an instant, he seemed to understand something.
"So be it. Lord Wu, today, we are also tired, after this series of turmoil, the emperor and the prince are not small frightened, otherwise, we will continue to interrogate tomorrow, right? ”
When Wu Mao heard this, he immediately nodded in agreement.
He was worried about what would go wrong with the interrogation!
Baili Canglian and Baili Cangming are noncommittal. Since she let go and handed it over to Qin Susu, then she will handle all this!
Late at night, silent.
In the cell inside the yamen of Qinghe Town, there was a bit of turmoil.
"Eat." The yacha brought the food to the beard.
At this moment, his beard has become a little haggard, and he has not eaten for a whole day, so he wants to move his chopsticks as soon as he receives the meal.
But at this time, the guards guarding the door suddenly fell to the ground, and the chopsticks in the beard's hand were also knocked to the ground.
"You're not afraid of being poisonous?"
The beard raised his head, but he saw that there was another person standing in front of him who was following the emperor and the prince today.
Beard sighed, "Even if it's dead, I don't care." Although I don't really want to hurt people, but all this is really because of me, I'm sorry for the proprietress of the house, I'm sorry for the family, I'm sorry for Yuelai Restaurant-"
"Really? You don't care, but what about your boss? Do you really want her to carry the black pot for you? Qin Susu sneered. I can see that your boss lady is very good to you, but why are you doing this? ”
When Hu Zi heard this, he raised his head, and there was a little anxiety in his eyes.
"Really, I didn't really know it was poison, I just thought it was a laxative."
"You are the chef of Yuelai Restaurant, why do you take laxatives in your own restaurant?"
The beard laughed dryly, as if he had some kind of trouble.
"If you have anything to say, just say it, don't think about anything."
"Okay, I said." Hu Zi sighed and said, "Do you know the Fu Ji Restaurant opposite Yuelai Restaurant?" ”
Qin Susu nodded, had she seen it before, but at that time she was still wondering, these two restaurants are set up opposite the door, isn't this an obvious robbery of business?
Qin Susu suddenly understood something, raised his head suddenly, and asked, "You mean, this is the order of Fu Ji Restaurant?" ”
"Yes." The beard hung his head, and there was a look of remorse in his eyes. "My eighty-year-old mother was seriously ill and in dire need of money, and the owner of Fu Ji Restaurant came to me and said that if I put laxatives in my meals and ruin the reputation of Yue Lai Restaurant, then he would give me a lot of silver——"
The corners of Qin Susu's mouth lightly pulled out a mocking arc.
At this time, she knew that it was because of business competition!
Indeed, shopping malls are like battlefields, not only in previous lives, but also in this life.
"So, you really did something like that?"
The beard squatted down, holding his head tightly with his hands, his face full of remorse, "I'm confused, I didn't expect that such a big thing would happen to Yuelai Restaurant." ”
"It can be seen that you don't know either, in this way, you cooperate with me, if I am satisfied, when the time comes, I will have a way to exempt you from the most."
"Really?" Beard looked up in surprise, but for a moment, the light on his face dimmed, and he muttered softly, "It's impossible—I've killed someone—I've killed someone—"
Qin Susu smiled lightly.
"I know you didn't mean it, don't worry, when the time comes, at least your crime will be mitigated, as long as you can provide us with strong evidence."
"Okay, I have." Hu Zi thought for a moment, then took out a piece of paper that had been crumpled from his arms and handed it to Qin Susu.
Qin Susu took the paper, just glanced at it, and then narrowed his eyes slightly.
"You'll help me, won't you?" Beard asked uneasily.
Qin Susu nodded and said with a smile, "It's okay, tomorrow, all this will come to light." ”
The next day, the trial was conducted as usual.
When Wu Mao saw the person kneeling under the lobby, a trace of astonishment flashed on his face.
Didn't he give the order for someone to secretly go out of him? Why is he still standing here so well?
"Lord Wu, it's time to start!" Qin Susu asked with a smile, an unknown meaning flashing in his eyes.
Even if he is unwilling, at this moment, Lord Wu has to try this case. After all, now that the emperor is still here, if something really accidentally goes wrong, it will be a matter of one life.
Obviously, Wu Mao still grabbed the chef's beard all the time. Qin Susu smiled lightly, and then handed the piece of paper that Hu Zizi gave him yesterday directly in front of him.
"Lord Wu, what do you see here?"
Wu Mao saw it, and then collapsed in place.
What is written on it is Fu Ji's coercion of the beard, and this coercion is just that, but he is on the side as a vouch and stamps his own seal.
"Lord Wu, let's continue to review." Qin Susu smiled and sat back in place, and at the same time, took back the piece of paper.
How will this case be reviewed now?
Wu Mao's face was already covered with beads of sweat.
And with such a result, the case quickly came to light.
Sure enough, as Qin Susu expected, it was really the boss of Fu Ji who was jealous of the business of Yuelai Restaurant and forced Hu Zi to take "laxatives". In fact, where is a laxative, it is clearly poison!
With that letter, soon, the boss of Fu Ji has also been caught.
Lord Wu sent someone to Fu Ji to arrest people, and at this moment, Lin Xiao, the owner of Fu Ji, was teasing his five or six-month-old child with his wife.
At this moment, the officers and soldiers pushed the door in, and the two of them looked grim.
"Come with us, two." Yacha said expressionlessly.
Lin Xiao looked helpless, he only thought that the silver he gave to Wu Mao was too little.
sighed, that's it, it's a big deal to stuff more silver.
When they arrived at the mansion, Lin Xiao knew that he was wrong.
"Get on your knees!" After Wu Mao saw Lin Xiao, he was a little panicked at first, and then he shouted violently.
"Lord Wu, what do you mean by this?" Lin Xiao stood in the middle and asked. "Why do you take me, you prisoners?"
Yuelai's proprietress raised her head at this time and stared at Lin Xiao resentfully.
"Lin Xiao, why do you have to kill me completely?! At the beginning, you were the one who opened a restaurant opposite me to steal business, and now it's you who blame me? What else do you want? ”
Lin Xiao frowned slightly, "I don't know what you're talking about." ”
Turning his head, he continued, "Lord Wu, this case should be closed, right?" ”
Only then did Qin Susu realize that it seemed that he was thinking too simply. Perhaps, this is really not just a normal business battle.
"That's right, it's over." Qin Susu stood up and said with a smile.
Lin Xiao glanced at the inconspicuous Qin Susu lightly, and then continued to say to Wu Mao, "Since the case has been closed, the grass people, retire first." ”
"Wait." Qin Susu drank cold. "Who let you go?"
Then, he glanced at the yacha around him.
The yacha will realize that at this time, the biggest one here is the emperor and them. stepped forward one after another to arrest Lin Xiao.
"Lord Wu is here, what does this mean?" Lin Xiao shouted unwillingly.
Wu Mao didn't know what to say at this time, and now, he only prayed that this matter would not involve him too much.
"Lin Xiao, do you still want to deny it?" The proprietress looked a little weak. "I really didn't expect that you are such a person, since you want to kill me completely, didn't I reconcile with you at the beginning? Why is this still the case? ”
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Xiao glared at him. Then he continued to say something, but was stopped by a messenger on the side.
"I'll tell you the truth, even Lord Wu can't do anything this time, because the people sitting in the hall are the current emperor and King Ming."
"What...... What the? Lin Xiao took two steps back in shock.
"Hehe, Boss Lin Xiaolin, this handwriting is yours, right?" Qin Susu walked straight down and said to him.
When he saw the piece of paper, Lin Xiao's face turned white.
But in the blink of an eye, his face slowly recovered. "I'm afraid you're mistaken, I didn't write this letter. Lord Wu, you are upright, please be aware of it! She stared straight at Lord Liu like this, and the warning in her eyes was very obvious.
Wu Mao is trying to push the boat down the river and give the charges to others, because as long as Lin Xiao is fine, his charge of accepting bribes can be cleared.
But Qin Susu had already gained insight into what he was thinking, and he sneered in his heart, but his face remained silent, and he said lightly: "Lord Wu is naturally righteous and upright, so he took the initiative to hand over the 30 million taels that you bribed him as mentioned in the letter. After speaking, he looked at Wu Mao deeply, "My lord, you said, right?" ”
Hearing this, Wu Mao slapped the shocked wood: "Bold Lin Xiao, you are doing evil, poisoning and murder, you have letters as proof, why don't you recruit quickly?" ”
Lin Xiao's eyes shot directly at Qin Susu, and the hatred in his eyes was undisguised, so cold and shining, cold and gloomy.
Even if he doesn't admit his guilt to death, he still can't stand the criminal law in the end, "What if I find someone to poison me?" That's what they deserve from Yue Lai Restaurant, if there is no Yue Lai Restaurant, how can our business be like this? ”
The proprietress raised her head suddenly, her eyes were cold, and she said hatefully: "Lin Xiao, even if there is a grudge between us, you can just rush me alone, why do you want to implicate the entire Yuelai Restaurant?" ”
