Chapter 417: Firecrackers Fight Back
Fortunately, when cooking for the second time, Jiang Wanxiu was useless because she wasn't sure what was wrong with the kitchen, everything was new, otherwise if she used water, she would be unlucky.
Zhang Dashan hurriedly kowtowed, and the horizontal flesh on his face trembled with fright, "The princess Mingjian!" The villain really didn't get drugged! The villain is loyal, how dare he be drugged, the princess is clear, it's not the villain who drugged! The villain is wronged! ”
"Whether you drugged or not, you are in charge of the kitchen, and something happened in the kitchen." Xi Ling Leng Bangbang said: "You can't escape the blame! ”
Zhang Dashan's face was pale, and he couldn't stop kowtowing and begging for mercy, "The princess, the villain confessed to the crime of negligence, it was all the villain's fault, but the villain really didn't ...... drug."
"No one knows if you are drugged, but the key is in your hands, you are indeed the most suspicious person, I will give you a chance, you will recall carefully now, last night you were in the back kitchen, did anyone drug under your nose, second, after the kitchen is locked, who has the opportunity to get the key to unlock the lock......"
Jiang Wanxiu paused, and her tone was cold, "If you can't think of anything, then I can only count the matter of laxatives on your head." ”
As he spoke, his eyes fell on the cooks again, "You can all be drugged, and if you can't think of something useful, then everyone will be guilty." ”
"Princess, this is not fair...... Only one person was drugged, and everyone else was innocent...... "There was a cook who called Qu."
Jiang Wanxiu's lips pursed slightly, "When did I say that I was a fair person?" There was an accident in the kitchen, and it almost ruined the big things in the house, I didn't beat you all to death to vent my anger, it was already merciful, even if I killed a few innocent cooks, so what? ”
As soon as these words came out, the cooks below were silent, trembling with fright, and they no longer dared to say a word in front of Jiang Wanxiu.
All racking their brains to think about who might be drugged.
"There were so many pairs of eyes in the kitchen last night, and it was not so easy to ...... if I wanted to put laxatives in the water tank"
"Yes, everyone is here, and they are not blind......"
"Boss Hu, did you secretly go to the kitchen to drug after the lock......
"Don't talk nonsense, Lao Zhao and I drank a little wine and went back to sleep directly......"
At this moment, a cook raised his hand and said, "Princess, I got up in the middle of the night last night to relieve myself and saw Lao Zhao sneaking in the direction of the kitchen...... I didn't think much of it at the time, thinking that the most he was doing was to steal something......"
There are a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas purchased in the kitchen, and the banquet is not used up, so stealing some and selling them is a common thing for some cooks with unclean hands and feet.
"Don't talk nonsense! I came out to get lost and went in the wrong direction......" The cook named Lao Zhao hurriedly said angrily: "What's more, I don't have a kitchen key, Boss Hu, did you do it, you still honestly admit it, so as not to affect everyone's ......"
Hu Dawei wanted to cry without tears, "I slept after drinking with you last night, or did you put me back, Lao Zhao, how can you say such a thing?" ”
"Who knows if you're pretending to be drunk! When I'm gone, you'll go to the kitchen to get your drugged...... I said you took advantage of someone else, right? Lao Zhao said with a stiff neck.
"That's right, the only one who had the key was Boss Hu...... What does it have to do with us, we are innocent......"
Jiang Wanxiu looked at this scene, her lips were slightly raised, and the cooks were worried about implicating themselves, so they said everything.
"Take him." Jiang Wanxiu pointed to the cook named Lao Zhao.
Lao Zhao hurriedly said: "Princess, I am innocent!" It's not me who drugged me! ”
"Drag it down and beat him twenty boards." Jiang Wanxiu said lightly.
The two pro-soldiers were like catching chickens, and easily lifted Lao Zhao out, and after a while, there was a ghost crying wolf crying and begging for mercy outside.
"Miss, just hit the three boards, and the cowardice will be recruited!" Gu Haomo said disdainfully.
Jiang Wanxiu couldn't help but laugh, with the strength you played, one board is worth five boards, who can bear it.
"Bring it ......"
As soon as he came up, Lao Zhao cried bitterly and said: "The princess spares her life, I recruited it!" I did it! I drunk Hu Dawei, touched his pocket, got the key, and secretly went to drug......"
"Who bought you?"
Lao Zhao spoke intermittently, but he still didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said, "No...... I don't know...... The villain is blinded by silver, the princess, you open the net! ”
"Where's the silver?" Jiang Wanxiu asked.
Lao Zhao shuddered and took out a money bag from his arms, "It's all here...... The princess spares her life......"
Xi Ling picked up the money bag and handed it to Jiang Wanxiu.
Jiang Wanxiu opened it and saw that there were 1,000 taels of silver tickets.
There is nothing special about the silver ticket, it is the kind of silver ticket of an ordinary bank.
Picked up the silver ticket and sniffed it lightly, there was a faint smell of spices, the precious spice that the daughters of the nobles in Beijing often loved - Ning Zhixiang.
Cui Yiya.
Jiang Wanxiu waved her hand lightly, "Send him to the yamen and punish him for murdering the master's family." ”
"Yes." Cherish the soul and bless the body.
Lao Zhao hurriedly cried, "The princess spares her life...... The princess spared her life......"
Murder of the Lord's house is a capital offense.
Jiang Wanxiu's treatment of Lao Zhao, frightened Hu Dawei and the others turned pale and silent.
God, the princess acted so ruthlessly, and Lao Zhao was killed, should they also be sat down......
"Hu Dawei, there is an accident in the kitchen, you are guilty of negligence, and you will be removed from your steward from now on, for the sake of your loyalty to the Hou Mansion, you will only be fined half a year's salary, and the other cooks will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver for making up the banquet." Jiang Wanxiu said.
"Thank you, Princess!" All the cooks were about to cry in fright, and suddenly they heard the kowtows of excitement one by one.
Hu Dawei almost thought that he was finished, and his back was covered in cold sweat, "The villain Xie Shizi opened the net." ”
Jiang Wanxiu has newly appointed a woman as a kitchen manager, and in the future, she will report to Zhang Xiyue on matters of size in the kitchen to strengthen management.
And with Jiang Wanxiu's resolute behavior today, the subordinates of the General's Mansion to protect the country, even if they encounter a bribe, they must first touch the head on their necks and don't want it.
"Cousin, the investigation of the firecrackers has come out."
Jiang Muyun walked in and reported: "After verification, it was Zhang's firecracker shop in the capital that sold firecrackers to us, and the people of the Zhang family had run away overnight...... The steward in charge of the firecracker inspection in the house has also been taken down, and he also admitted that it was the steward Song Qian......"
That Song Qian was brought, and as soon as he saw Jiang Wanxiu, he knelt down, "The princess spares her life!" The villain really didn't know that the surnamed Zhang was going to murder the adults, he just said that the craftsmanship of these firecrackers was a bit poor, so I turned a blind eye, and the villain didn't check it...... I really didn't expect it...... The princess spares her life! ”
Jiang Wanxiu glanced at him coldly, filled his personal pockets indiscriminately, and almost offended the noble ministers of the Protector General's Mansion.
Jiang Wanxiu's wages for the stewards are not low, but this kind of person is open-minded when he sees money, and he cannot be tolerated.
"Remove Song Qian from his position as a steward, drag it down, and sell Song Qian's family to Yaxing." Jiang Wanxiu said lightly.
Song Qian's face turned pale, "Princess, the villain is just confused for a while, please let me go...... The family who spared the villain......"
Song Qian's family is a death contract, not to mention that Jiang Wanxiu sold them, even if they were killed, the government couldn't control it.
"We bought you back, gave you a place to live and live, and the wages we gave were put in the family of the noble family, which is also good, but someone betrayed the lord's family for a little silver, and the general's mansion will not be spared, and if there is someone like Song Qian in the future, I will not be so open and kill directly." Jiang Wanxiu said lightly.
Song Qian, who was frightened by this, didn't dare to say anything about begging for mercy, kowtowed, "Thank you for sparing the villain's life!" Thank you, Princess! ”
When the Protector General's Mansion was first built, one after another people were bribed or neglected the Lord for personal gain.
If they were on an errand in the mansion of those century-old families, they definitely didn't have the courage to do so.
So Jiang Wanxiu killed chickens and set an example for monkeys.
Jiang Wanxiu is not a person who loves to kill, she even does what she does just to scare, look at everyone's reactions, and judge the spies by observing words and colors.
Innocent people, she will not be implicated, as long as she helps, she will be rewarded.
"Continue to send people to find the people who escaped from the Zhang family, the checkpoints are tight, presumably they can't run far." Jiang Wanxiu said.
Cherish the soul and receive the command.
The kitchen and firecrackers were solved one by one, and in the end, the assassins who appeared in the pear orchard were left.
Compared to the small fights in front of him, this assassin is extraordinary.
……
Cui Yiya sat in the carriage, thinking about today's twists and turns, quite angry.
"It's really hateful, I wasted a thousand taels of silver in vain, the laxative didn't go down at all, and the bastard who sold firecrackers, ran away after receiving Miss Ben's silver, and the firecrackers didn't explode, it's really annoying to me."
Cui Yiya gritted her teeth and was indignant.
The maidservant Xiao Xi hurriedly said: "Miss, don't be angry, with Miss's power, isn't it easy to clean them up?" ”
"I can't deal with them with great fanfare, otherwise what should I do if Jiang Wanxiu sees the flaws, it's a pity that such a good serial plan."
Cui Yiya sighed and shook her head, "And the last assassin who carried out the assassination, I don't know who sent it, I didn't ask for Jiang Wanxiu's life for such a good opportunity, what kind of assassin is it when the martial arts are so low, it's a joke." ”
Xiao Xi didn't dare to refute, in fact, the assassin's martial arts were already top-notch, a first-class killer.
At that time, there were so many people who knew martial arts at the scene, but except for Song Yuanxi, no one had time to rescue......
Even Song Yuanxi didn't have time to rush over, but just missed the steel gun a little bit with the golden knife, which showed that it was thrilling.
If Song Yuanxi reacted slowly, Jiang Wanxiu would have died.
If the dead killer heard Cui Yiya's judgment, he would crawl out of the grave angrily.
"Hey, after today, I don't know how many nobles will be friends with the Protector General's Mansion, it's a pity......"
Cui Yiya said hatefully: "A traitor, how can he be a general and save the emperor so great?" ”
"Crackling!"
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of firecrackers exploding, and a string of firecrackers was thrown into the carriage.
"Wow!" The horses were frightened and pulled the wagon on a rampage.
"Ah!!h Cui Yiya in the carriage was overly frightened, screamed silently, and hid behind the maid with her head in her arms, while the firecrackers were still crackling and exploding.
"The horse is gone, chase the carriage!"
"Miss is still up there, chase after it!"
The guards of the Cui Mansion were in a hurry and chased the carriage one after another.
And Cui Yiya was injured in the arm by a firecracker in the carriage, and was trying to escape, when the wheel of the carriage hit the stone pier, the carriage overturned, and Cui Yiya fell down with the carriage.
"Ouch my legs!" Cui Yiya screamed.
Xia Zhu, who was hiding in the shadows, saw this scene and almost clapped his hands with joy.
"Gu Gongzi, you threw your head really well, blow up Cui Yiya, a bad guy!"
"Miss Xia Zhu has won the prize." Gu Haomo, who was wearing a blue short shirt beside Xia Zhu, smiled with a green face.
