Chapter 138: The Poisonous Wine Turmoil
Tianxing seemed to casually glance at the Haichen who handed over the pot, and his expression returned to normal.
"This cup, I salute the catfish. Tianxing smiled at the catfish through Blue Scale's translation. And the other party also poured a full cup, drank his own wine, and raised his hand slightly to express his gratitude. Xiao Yue and Tianxing finished saluting and were about to leave, but they found that someone had stopped them.
"Wait a minute. An indifferent voice sounded, Tianxing turned his head to look, and found that it was the person who had just handed them the wine jug, and at this moment, his face was extremely gloomy, the volume of this voice was very high, and the noise in the entire hall also stopped, and the eyes of all the sea ministers turned to the person before, not knowing what he was going to do.
Three seconds passed, and it was as if it had stood still. Tianxing and Xiao Yue also held their wine glasses, motionless. Suddenly, the catfish's standing body fell backwards and slammed into the seat, his eyes widened, as if he was unwilling.
Tianxing was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward, and the person who delivered the pot turned sideways and blocked Tianxing: "What, you can't destroy the corpse?"
The sealords in the main hall all stood up and gathered in this area, the catfish was bleeding, their bodies were blue, and their eyes were full of horror. The glass fell to the ground, still shaking. This scene was very scary, except for Tianxing, Xiao Yue, and the Haichen, everyone involuntarily took a few steps back.
A servant who was good at healing stepped forward, and after a careful observation, he raised his head and looked like dirt: "Catfish discussion...... Lord Catfish is dead. The cause is poisoning. ”
The Haichen who handed the pot shouted angrily: "Come on, tie up these two murderers for me." ”
Outside the main hall, the guards standing all rushed inside, they looked at each other, staring at Tianxing and Xiao Yue as if they were about to breathe fire. For a moment, the atmosphere became extremely eerie. Only the Haichen who had stopped the two of them earlier was confident and calm. The Sea Dragon King and the Turtle Prime Minister also stood up, and they glanced at each other and watched the changes.
"Wait, why are you tying us up?" Tianxing raised his hand as he looked at the guards who wanted to rush up.
"Why?" the Haichen laughed twice, "In this case, it is obvious that you deliberately poisoned and murdered the catfish, do you need to say more?"
In the crowd, someone whispered: "Staff officer carp, this is a bit too arbitrary, maybe there is an inside story in this matter." Besides, there is also the Sea Dragon King here, where is your share. ”
The carp staff officer snorted coldly: "The matter has come to this point, what can be the inside story? As for Lord Sea Dragon, I think he will have a judgment in his heart, and you don't need to say more, just take the two of them down and put them to death immediately. The other party is obviously a cronie of the catfish, and he is very unhappy to exclude himself like this.
"Wait a minute. Xiao Yue suddenly asked, "Why don't the two of us have anything to do with you in the same pot of wine?"
Carp staff officer sneered a few times: "As we all know, catfish have an extremely strong allergic reaction to mercury. And you obviously secretly spilled powder in the wine, so naturally there is no danger. This is clearly a deliberate murder, and the physical evidence is there. If you don't believe it, you can find someone to identify it. ”
Two fish servants who are good at medicine came, and after collecting samples from wine glasses, the results showed that they did contain honeysuckle powder. At this moment, almost no one believed in Tianxing and Xiao Yue anymore, and for a while, dozens of sea ministers condemned the two one after another, and many of them asked the Sea Dragon King and the Turtle Prime Minister to be executed immediately. The scene was extremely chaotic, and even Tianxing and Xiao Yue frowned.
Obviously, this is a conspiracy, Tianxing and Xiao Yue naturally won't sprinkle powder in the wine, they don't even know about the catfish's allergies, and the carp staff is definitely taking the opportunity to frame them, but the current situation is completely controlled by the other party, and even they don't know how to turn the tables.
"Staff Carp, you just said that we sprinkled the honeysuckle powder, so we can take the powder from it to identify, I believe that there is a clear difference between the powder that has been sprinkled not long ago and the powder that has existed before. Won't it be clear at a glance then?" Tianxing's tone was flat, without a trace of emotion.
However, hearing this, one of the guards standing next to him seemed to suddenly stumble and fall on top of the wine glass, causing a mess of the whole scene for a while, and it would not be so easy to investigate. Tianxing secretly sneered, this is obviously the carp staff officer, who came to deliberately destroy the evidence at the scene, so that the two of them will never have the possibility of turning the tables.
"This guard should be from your carp staff's mansion, on the flat ground of the palace, how could he be planted forward for no reason? Xiao Yue's voice was like a sharp knife, and her emotions were naturally overflowing, and everyone knew it. Also, the guard jumped out, definitely not unintentionally. In this way, this carp staff officer ......
Staff Officer Li's face turned red: "What do you mean by this? At the banquet held by Lord Sea Dragon King, he dared to murder the catfish, and planted it for no reason, did he become my guard? I suggest that this kind of villain should be directly beheaded and executed on the spot, and everyone has seen the scene just now." ”
Since everyone saw it just now, and Tianxing and Xiao Yue were foreigners, these Haichen themselves were all wary of them, and in their subconscious judgment, it was Tianxing and Xiao Yue's fault.
"Okay, Staff Officer Carp said that we are murderers, but you have also touched this pot, there is no other physical evidence, and you should not react to the mercury, so you are also suspicious?" Xiao Yue thought for a moment, sharpened her teeth, and fought back.
Staff Officer Carp had obviously estimated everything before, and when he heard Xiao Yue's words, he hurriedly said: "I don't have any motive to kill, what good is it for me to kill the catfish? ”
Xiao Yue looked at the panicked eyes of the carp staff officer, knowing that the other party was definitely pretending, and he did not have an advantage in the judgment of others, and the more innocent the carp staff officer looked, the more suspicious they were. Okay, okay, I didn't expect a lot of back-ups.
Tianxing smiled faintly: "Staff Officer Carp said that we are extremely suspected of being murderers, but we don't mention it to other people who have come into contact with this pot, which is a bit too far-fetched." If you really suspect us, search our entire body. Of course, if we are searched, your staff officer and his subordinates should not run away, right?"
"You...... Do you think I'm afraid of you? Staff Officer Li didn't seem to be too worried, he knew that he had ordered his subordinates to put some mercury powder on Tianxing and Xiao Yue in advance, and now the other party was speechless, and when the time came, he should be sitting in this high-level position.
Xiao Yue glared at Tianxing, lowered her voice and said, "Tianxing, what are you doing?" Don't you know that since the other party is so sure to identify the two of us, he will definitely be ready for everything, maybe we have already passed our hands. If this is a mistake, it will be really troublesome. ”
"Don't worry, I've got it. Skystar patted his chest. Xiao Yue was confused.
Staff Officer Li's eyes swept over the sea ministers who were still talking in a low voice, and then glanced past them at the Sea Dragon King, who didn't seem to have any concern about this matter, and then dared to say loudly: "You can be a witness, if everyone gets all the stolen goods, they should be directly executed." Please don't worry, you two have sent a female servant to check on this young lady. ”
Everyone set up screens, Tianxing and Xiao Yue turned into it, and the Sea Dragon King and Prime Minister Gui Cheng were still indifferent to this matter as they did just now, drinking and chatting by themselves, and when the carp staff saw this, he was naturally bolder, and the sea clan officials of all sizes behind him were all talking, of course he didn't have the leisure to estimate them.
Soon, a maid came out and said, "This young lady doesn't have any honeysuckle powder on her. ”
Another ordinary fish attendant reported: "There is no mercury powder on this son's body. ”
At this moment, the Haichen who were watching the show around them all began to blow up, Tianxing and Xiao Yue's charges should be conclusive, especially the carp staff officer, all his names have been arranged, even if Tianxing went in and was searched on the spot, the attendants who had arranged themselves inside should also be smeared with powder on him, but ......
Tianxing and Xiao Yue walked out of the two small partitions, both smiling and looking at the carp staff officer defiantly.
"What does this mean? Does the absence of mercury powder on your body mean that it is impossible to murder the catfish? It's not that simple, you two must have hidden the physical evidence and concealed your sight. Staff Officer Carp knew that his trick had failed, but he still spoke in a tough tone and did not fall behind.
Xiao Yue didn't seem to hear his roar at all, patted his hand lightly, and asked unhurriedly: "Staff Officer Carp should also be like what he said in advance, you and your guards should also go for an inspection." ”
Staff Officer Carp snorted angrily and replied, "I am naturally not afraid of shadows, so I will go." As he spoke, he and two of his guards entered the room for inspection.
Tianxing looked at the figures of several people and sighed, this will definitely not have any results, because the inspection personnel arranged inside are under the carp staff officers, and their bodies were inexplicably coated with mercury powder just now, thanks to the blue scales, this little guy's natural strong sense of smell quickly identified the mercury powder, and sucked them away at the first time.
Blue Scale's unexpected surprise was something that even Tianxing hadn't expected.
After only a moment, there was a loud shout inside: "None of the carp staff and the two guards have any mercury powder hidden on them. ”
