Chapter 78: Poisonous in the Dish?
He didn't mean much else by saying this, at most, he just wanted to show his concern for Little Lady Ye. But it was different in Ye Yuxian's ears, so she smiled, pointed to the fish in front of her, and said: "Childe, don't worry, even if something goes wrong in the back kitchen of this teahouse, the fish in front of me must not be poisonous." Because, this is what I ordered someone to bring from home, and it is also Lishui white perch, but because it has been fed with fresh lotus seeds and lotus flowers for half a month, it tastes fragrant, but it is very different from other Lishui white perch. ”
When Lu Xiuyun heard her say this, he could only nod and smile perfunctorily: "It's also an elegant person like Ye Niangzi who can think of such an elegant way to eat, but it's ......"
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard another commotion outside. Then I saw the shopkeeper move over, because the door of the private room was not closed, so I could see him with a bitter face, and said to everyone in the house: "I'm really sorry, I know that the two are the distinguished guests of our host, but just now the miscellaneous servant who killed the fish in the back kitchen came to reply, saying that he was careless and mistakenly killed the perch brought by this little lady first, so this poisonous fish should be the ...... brought by this little lady from home."
"What? You-don't spew blood! How could we bring a poisonous fish to the banquet? This, this is simply unreasonable! ”
Ye Yuxian was also shocked when she heard this, and the maid beside her reacted quickly and immediately refuted it.
"Yes, shopkeeper, are you sure you're not mistaken? You know, it's a matter of human life! As soon as he heard that the case might also involve Ye Yuxian, Lu Xiuyun was a little uneasy at this time. He was keenly aware that this was not a simple blackmail case, but it was aimed at Ye Niangzi, or even himself!
The poor fat shopkeeper was already sweating like rain at this time, and after confirming Ye Yuxian's identity, he just wanted to fall to the ground and faint. But he didn't expect that he felt weak and short of breath all the time, but he was forced to a desperate situation at this time and could barely breathe and speak, so he forced himself to breathe and said: "It is precisely because human life is at stake that we dare not be careless." The name of this fish-killing handyman was Luo Er, and the fish was killed by his hands. According to him, when the people of Ye Fu sent the fish down from the carriage, in order to prevent confusion, they also specially pierced three holes in the tail of the fish with silver hairpins in front of him to mark it. ”
Ye Yuxian looked at the maid beside her, the maid's face turned pale, she didn't speak and only looked at the fish on the table, and then nodded heavily, pulled off a silver hairpin on her head and said, "Yes, I did use this hairpin to pierce three holes in the tail of the fish." ”
"That's right, Ye Niangzi, please see-"
Ye Yuxian slowly stood up and looked at the plate of fish and meat brought from the table outside with everyone. When she saw that there were indeed three clearly visible marks on the fish's tail, she showed a little frightened, and kept shaking her head and saying, "No! How can it be? How did the fish that we had kept in our house for half a month become poisonous? What the hell is going on? ”
Not long after, the officials who received the report also went upstairs together. After listening to the testimony of the shopkeeper and the victim's family, the head catcher at the head of the group looked like he had seen a ghost, and he only hated why he took this errand?
After grinding for a long time, I finally had to make a bitter face, came into the private room and bowed to Ye Yuxian, so I knelt down and kowtowed: "The little lady will forgive her subordinates for their offenses, it is really a matter of human life, please go back to the yamen with this Lu Gongzi and the rest of the people to record a confession......"
Although Ye Yuxian was born in a big official family, but the daughter of the boudoir had never experienced such a thing, seeing that her face was very bad, Lu Xiuyun hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Ye Niangzi, don't worry, there is a way that is clear to heaven, don't do bad things and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." I believe that this matter has nothing to do with you, and someone must be trying to frame you. In this way, I will accompany you to the yamen, anyway, I am also a witness, do you think this is good? ”
His tone of voice at this time was sincere and gentle, and there was a sense of comfort and comfort between his words, so he finally made Ye Yuxian nod, so the group was escorted to the state capital yamen along with the two plates of steamed fish and the deceased.
It's just such a fuss, the door of Luoshenju is full of people inside and out, and many people who don't know the truth begin to discuss: "Oh, the dishes of Luoshenju are poisonous, and they poisoned people today!" ”
"Oh my God! It looks like the owner is going to be out of luck! I don't know how the deceased will be compensated. ”
Su Linglong sat in the carriage not far away, and was very happy at first when she heard these discussions. It's just that when she saw Lu Xiuyun holding Ye Yuxian's hand and walking out of it, and the two of them both got into Ye Yuxian's carriage and went straight to the yamen of the state capital, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, and her face was incredible: "How could Brother Xiuyun accompany her to the yamen?" He is a close minister of His Royal Highness King Qin, isn't he afraid that it will be difficult to get out of a lawsuit when the time comes? ”
As soon as Shen'er saw that she was in a hurry, she comforted: "Don't worry, lady, Xu is the son of Lu is righteous, and he didn't think of the consequences for a while." It's better for the slave and maid to find an opportunity to remind Li Yu that if he moves out of the Bodhisattva of His Royal Highness King Qin, I think Lu Gongzi will definitely leave it alone. ”
Su Linglong nodded, and recognized her suggestion: "Yes, yes, yes!" He has always trusted Li Yu very much, as long as you remind Li Yu, I don't think he will be willing to risk his future for the sake of Ye Yuxian. ”
Shen'er got out of the carriage and quickly disappeared into the bustling crowd. In fact, she did go to Li Yu, and she did remind Li Yu to dissuade Lu Xiuyun from interfering in Ye Yuxian's murder case.
However, Li Yu couldn't listen to these words at all, because he knew his master's temperament better than anyone else, and if he wanted to throw away his hands and withdraw from the matter at this time, it would be impossible for Lu Xiuyun to ignore righteousness and have no discipline!
However, because the girl Shen'er has always been very well-behaved and sensible in his opinion, he had to say a few perfunctory words, so he was upset and let her go back.
Seeing that he didn't listen to his own dissuasion, Shen'er nodded a little disappointed, and sighed as if unintentionally when he turned around: "Actually, my lady does so many things, all for the sake of Lu Gongzi!" Why is this happening? That Mrs. Xiang is also a liar......"
