Simply and neatly killed, in order to facilitate interrogation, the female soldier led by him also deliberately left a living mouth, but this kind of dead soldier generally carried his own poison, and he had already died of poison before Zhao Kuangyan walked to him.

"Mother!" Li Xiao, who was still sitting on the horse and had never come down, was not well.

Seven women actually killed dozens of men, and looking at the wound in the neck, they killed them with one blow, and the method was a little sharper than him.

After killing the man in black who was present at the scene, they spontaneously divided into three teams and searched in the nearby woods, leaving only one woman who seemed to be the leader of the team.

"Your Highness, have you provoked some organization?" The woman's name is Wang Jiahui, and she is the captain of a small team, and she was selected because she had previous experience as a maid.

Zhao Kuangyan was stunned: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"When I killed the enemy, my subordinates saw the dark lines on the back of this person's neck, it seems that some organization team living in the shadows specializes in this kind of murderous business."

With that, she kicked over a corpse, cut his shirt with the tip of her knife, and tattooed a purple-blue pattern on the back of the creature's neck, as she said.

This pattern ...... Zhao Kuangyan suddenly remembered something in his mind, and always felt that he had seen it somewhere?

I thought about it carefully but didn't have a clue, so I could only put it aside.

After a while, the group of female soldiers who had gone out to search returned, and said that they had only seen bows and arrows that had been thrown aside, but that they had long since left.

Wang Jiahui sighed, "This guy is also a chicken thief, but this kind of organization is generally well-behaved, and if he goes back without completing the task, I'm afraid he won't be able to escape death." ”

"His Royal Highness will find out about this matter, so let's go back to the house first."

"Yes!"

It was almost evening when Zhao Kuangyan returned to the palace and asked Steward Qian to arrange accommodation for these female soldiers, as far as possible near Lin Qingqing's room.

Steward Qian knew that this was the female escort that His Royal Highness found for the imperial concubine, and nodded solemnly, now that the imperial concubine has the blood of His Royal Highness, this can no longer be sloppy, plus the previous poisoning time made people panic, so it is better to pay attention!

Chef Li has been in the palace for more than three months, and I have to say that the treatment of this palace is much better than that of ordinary businessmen, not only the daily rest shift arrangement is proper, but there are also four days of rest every month!

And the salary of the long time has also risen a lot, and Chef Liu, who has been here for almost a year, can get five taels of monthly silver every month, not to mention that Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine has other rewards.

But a few days ago, the poisoning of the imperial concubine almost involved the entire kitchen, so everyone was very angry these days, who dared to do such a bold thing!

"How do I know, you ask me? Anyway, this kind of stupid thing will not be done by the little old man. There was nothing to do at this time, so Chef Liu sat at the door of the lounge and basked in the sun.

This lounge is next door to the kitchen, and it was specially arranged by the imperial concubine for the money housekeeper.

There is an hour's rest after lunch at noon, and in order to prevent emergencies, one person will be left on duty inside, and it is fair for each person to take a turn for one day.

Chef Li is also resting today, she is sitting in the room embroidering, the lounge room is quite large, and there are a few beds in it, if you are really tired, you can go and take a nap.

At this moment, when she heard Chef Li talking about this, she also took a bench and sat over, she was really scared enough that day, if she caught the poisoner, she would have to go up and smack her twice to relieve her anger.

"Hey, Chef Li, why don't you go back today?" Talking to Chef Li is another cook, everyone calls him Lao Sun, who is good at making some pastries, and Chef Li is good at making soup and knows a little about pharmacology.

"My mother-in-law is here today, and I have a few more days to spare, you just talked about this poisoner, I heard that the maids in the front yard seem to have broken the clues."

Lao Sun leaned lazily against the wall, "That's right, poisoning the imperial concubine is such a big thing, and the imperial concubine still has the eldest grandson in her belly, this is to be found out, but she has to be killed!" The person who poisoned me must have been plotting for a long time to seize this opportunity. ”

Chef Li sighed, "If I want to catch this murderer quickly, otherwise we will not be at peace in the kitchen every day, for fear that something will happen again." ”

Chef Liu on the side nodded and agreed, "This is true, I see that there are a lot of dishes left in the daily withdrawal, why did this happen!" ”

If in the past, the imperial concubine often came back to the kitchen to give some guidance, and the meals delivered every day were basically exhausted, wouldn't the happiest thing about being a cook be to see that the dishes she made were eaten at all?

But now that such a thing has happened, not only the imperial concubine will suffer, but even the people in the entire imperial palace are in danger.

While the three of them were chatting, Chef Tu, who was on duty in the kitchen, poked his head out and shouted, "Hey, Chef Li, are you free?" Miss Ah Chun said that the princess wants to eat the red bean soup you made, and she is waiting. ”

When Chef Li heard this, she hurriedly put down the work in her hand and responded, "It's coming, it's here, I'm here today." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly went to the kitchen to wash his hands and make soup, this red bean soup has always been very popular with Lin Qingqing, the red beans that melt in the mouth are cooked and the slight sweetness of rock sugar, she can drink two bowls at a time.

Now that she is pregnant, she is thinking about the rustling taste in her mouth, and Ah Chun asked Dr. Wen if this red bean soup can be drunk, but as long as it is not too much.

Chef Li can be a cook in the palace must have her advantages, usually it takes at least one or two hours for people to stew red beans into taste, but in her hands it is very fast, and it only takes ten minutes to stew a bowl of steaming soft and rotten red bean soup.

After Ah Chun left with the soup cup, Chef Li saw that there was no firewood in the stove, so she was about to go to the backyard to get some, but when she saw it, she found that there was not much left, and she called the little servant in charge of firewood to ask and learned that the temporary firewood delivery person had not come for several days.

Chef Li frowned, "I saw him hanging around in the palace a few days ago, why didn't he come suddenly?" ”

Xiaowu also said that he didn't know very well, and Chef Li didn't ask much, but she had some questions in her heart.

There was nothing tonight, and the imperial concubine and His Royal Highness rarely had the habit of eating supper, so when the time came, everyone packed up and prepared to go back.

Walking on the way home, Chef Li saw a familiar figure, wasn't this person the firewood delivery man mentioned at noon before?

The man didn't seem to see her, and grinned and hooked up with a few people around him and went straight to the gambling house.

The more Chef Li thought about it, the more wrong it became, didn't this kid say that his family was very poor before, how could he suddenly have money to come to the gambling house?

Besides, the firewood money given by the palace is much higher than that of ordinary people, so this guy just said that he wouldn't do it?

No way! There's definitely something wrong with this!

The more Chef Li thought about it, the more wrong it became, so she hurriedly turned around and went back to the palace, found Steward Qian and said that she wanted to see His Royal Highness.

Steward Qian looked embarrassed, "Your Highness may have rested so late, is there anything important?" ”

"Here's the thing......" Chef Li immediately told the cause and process of the incident carefully, Steward Qian listened carefully, and then nodded, "I know, I will tell His Highness about this matter, and the hour is early, so you can go back and rest early." ”

Chef Li retreated in response.

Steward Qian thought about it in the house and quietly called Bai Shuang, and asked her to go to the gambling hall to arrest someone to ask about the situation.

When he arrived at the gambling house, Wang Er was on the rise, this gambling house is a place that is easy to get excited, since he took the money, he no longer does the thing of sending firewood, I have to say that this Xianghua is really generous, and he actually gave him a full twenty taels of silver!
