Chapter 567: Decoction
There are also clans that have not stated the rules, but the conventions are customary, and things such as birthday banquets in the clan are indeed generally presided over by the women of the back house who preside over the feed. So from this point of view, there is nothing wrong with the birthday banquet of the Huaiguo Mansion being presided over by Miss Xue. However, now it's not a matter of the Guangguang birthday banquet, right now it's almost a human life, such a big thing, the son of the world doesn't show up?
Because of family affairs, a few days ago, the prince of Huaiguo lost a big face, the impact of this incident is this birthday banquet, the invitation is sent out, there are a lot of invitations from the first-class family, but almost no one from the elder generation of the clan is present, and the ones who come are all juniors.
The style of the clan sometimes represents the thoughts of most of the powerful families in Chang'an City, so these days, the prince of Huaiguo is not living well. Someone saw that before the banquet, the prince of Huaiguo also scolded Miss Xue. The relationship between father and daughter is walking on thin ice, and now that such a thing is happening, the prince of Huaiguo does not even show his face.
At the moment, someone suddenly spoke up, mentioning the prince, many people thought of this stubble, and then looked at Miss Xue's slightly stiff figure, and couldn't help but feel a little pity, Miss Xue is also quite unlucky to have such a father.
And the person who mentioned the son of the world was obviously not very interested in the relationship between Miss Xue and the father and daughter of the son, and silently untied the waist card around him: "Whether you are looking for Dali Temple or Chang'an Mansion, you have to go back to Chang'an, so I am afraid that it will be delayed, then this matter will be taken over by my ministry!" ”
As soon as he said this, several officials from the Ministry who came to the banquet stood up, including Cui Jing, who was also thrown to the Ministry of Officials for training.
An official of the Ministry of Officials said with a smile: "In fact, this matter should indeed be taken over by our Ministry of Officials. "Most of the powerful people who come and go are in the court, and Miss Wei Er, who has fallen, is also a family member of the official eunuch, and if the officials take over, there is no mistake.
Miss Xue looked back at the officials who stood up, and her eyes paused on Wang Xu and Cui Jing, after belonging to the same clan, they were also the juniors who were entrusted with important tasks by the elders in the clan, and they were also thrown into the same department for training, and this time they took over this matter together. I'm afraid this matter can't be good, it's not that she hasn't heard of the rivalry between Wang Xu and Cui Jing, today this one has made a meritorious service, and tomorrow the one has set out a key testimony. It is not a good thing for a case to encounter two officials who are competing with each other, both of whom want to take the credit for the matter. Not to mention the family backgrounds behind these two officials, it is enough for them not to shrink back and have no fear when they investigate the case.
There are two tigers behind him, and there is a sister in front of him who is bent on seeking justice for her own sister. Miss Xue turned around, her eyes fell on the two grandmothers who had been ordered to stay here to take care of her, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.
Of course, this resentment is only a moment, she is still the dignified and generous, virtuous and good Miss Xue, a model of a noble girl in Beijing, and gave a salute to everyone, she said: "In this way, it is naturally better." ”
Walking up to the second floor, the girl who was one step ahead of everyone else was half-squatting, looking around a table, and at the end, she touched the white powder left on the table, sniffed it, stretched out her tongue and licked it, and then spit it out.
"Five stones."
Someone from the officials who followed him spoke: "The little marquis of the Hou family of Ankang took a few people to smoke Wushisan here before. ”
"An Kanghou!" The girl closed her eyes, as if she was thinking about it very seriously, and after a while, she shook her head, "There is such a big thing happening downstairs, it stands to reason that you should go out to take a look, but I didn't see the little marquis of the Ankang Hou family." ”
An official of the Ministry frowned when he heard this: "This ...... It doesn't seem to be enough to prove it. "She is in a different situation, if such a big thing happens, will there really be any such thing as the little marquis of the Ankang Hou family among the onlookers?
"The little marquis of the Ankang Hou family is indeed not here." Wang Xu, who was stained with the white powder on the table, stretched out the tip of his tongue and tried it, "These five stone powders are first-class or even the best, and it is impossible to be sober in an hour or two." ”
Everyone was silent, so is it true that the three clans of Cui Wang Xie know the most about Wushisan? After trying it like this, I didn't officially smoke it, so I knew what grade of Wushisan it belonged to.
"Just now, after Miss Wei Liu downstairs said that Miss Wei Er was pushed down, I paid attention to a few people who were here to smoke Wushi San, and they didn't appear."
"I've already sent someone to look for it elsewhere," Cui Jing said, "If there is no other place, then it means that those people were indeed in the attic when Wei Er had an accident." ”
Although it was a simple and businesslike statement, several officials had begun to look at each other. Wushisan has a hallucinogenic effect, and after sucking it, men and women can't tell the difference, and it is common to do something out of the ordinary. This matter is mostly related to those few who smoked Wushisan, and it may be their own hands.
But even if you do it yourself, there is something else behind this that needs to be investigated.
Wei Yaoqing didn't stay on the second floor for long, and continued to walk up, the third floor was where Li and others stayed, there were a lot of women sitting drinking tea and chatting, if someone broke in, it would inevitably cause a commotion, but I didn't hear any noise, and then on the fourth floor, there were fewer female dependents here, and the status was more noble, the dried fruit snacks on the table, and the scattered flower arrangement vases were also placed in a mess, and after walking around, the girl didn't speak, and went up to the fifth floor. The officials of the Ministry of Officials looked in much more detail than her, not only the things on the table were read, but even the corridors were carefully watched.
When I climbed up to the fifth floor, I saw that the middle of the fifth floor, which was originally separated by a screen for the guests to rest, was knocked out of a road crookedly, several screens fell to the ground, and at the end of the path was the five-story horizontal railing, and a gap was knocked out in the middle of the horizontal railing, and the debris of the wooden fence was scattered nearby, and the girl stood in front of the wooden fence and looked down, and then moved her footsteps and stepped away.
"Hey, what are you doing?" A group of officials climbed up and saw such a scene, and one of them was startled and immediately shouted out.
The girl just stretched out her legs and tried, although the action was dangerous, but there was nothing unsteady on her feet, and when she heard this, she withdrew her feet, took a few steps in, and looked at them.
Wang Xu saw that she was wearing a bloody dress, standing expressionlessly, for some reason, she had a few strange feelings, looked at Cui Jing beside her, and said: "Don't panic, Cui Jing and I will investigate this matter carefully, you just believe us." After all...... Maybe we're better at this kind of thing than you. "Of course, they can't compare to her when they catch ghosts or something, but the officials have done a lot of investigation and interrogation in the same places as Dali Temple and Chang'an Mansion, so they are naturally better at it.
And what he meant by this was that he and Cui Jing were going to compete for merit, so he would not slack off in this matter. Compared with those high-sounding reasons, Wang Xu knows that such reasons are the most believable.
The girl nodded expressionlessly when she heard this, and then suddenly spoke: "Taste." ”
"Taste?"
"The smell of medicine." She sniffed, "I've not been feeling well for the past two days, and the second sister is going to serve medicine for me." There was no decoction here, and there was no residue of the decoction around her, but there was the smell of medicine here, and there was also the fourth floor. ”
