The Inner Guard Mansion, in Xu Zun's office.

Xu Zun spread out those materials on the table again, and he didn't know how many times he carefully checked them.

Before this, these materials were almost destroyed by Xu Zun, and Huo Anu didn't understand what Xu Zun wanted to find from it?

"My lord," at this time, Li Xing brought in a person from outside and reported to Xu Zunyu, "Brought!" This guy is the head chef of Beiya, he has already recruited, and it was Yan Hai, the servant of the ministry, who arranged him to join the Zuoya Forbidden Army. ”

As he spoke, the internal guard behind pushed a fat man who was beaten to the point that his skin was open and he almost didn't look like a human in front of Xu Zun.

"Your Excellency...... Spare your life! The fat man hurriedly knelt down and buckled his head for Xu Zun, "I'...... We didn't know it was going to happen, we just did as he told us and added a little condiment to today's meal......"

"Isn't this talking nonsense with your eyes open!" Xu Zun frowned, "Whose order?" Wasn't Yan Hai, the servant of the ministry, already killed by assassination? ”

"Yes...... It's Yan Hai's butler," the fat man hurriedly said, "Yan Shilang died in assassination, but his butler still has some power, saying that as long as we do what he tells us, we can still be promoted!" ”

It's a steward again......

Unexpectedly, the people from Xuanmen also arranged eyeliner beside Yan Hai.

"You just said you, how many of you are there?" Xu Zun asked.

"Yes...... There are about a dozen people! The fat man replied, "They are also arranged by the housekeeper to let them obey my command." ”

"My lord......" Li Xing whispered in Xu Zun's ear, "These are only the big camp in the North Ya, and then counting the partial camp, and the South Ya, there are forty or fifty people."

"We've caught two dozen of them, and the rest are still wanted."

"Well," Xu Zun nodded, and asked the head chef again, "Tell me what you know, tell me the truth, if you want to live, you must explain it honestly, otherwise you will ......"

"Confess, I'll confess!" The fat man kowtowed like pounding garlic, and quickly confessed, "The little one was originally a cook who opened a small restaurant in Chongning, Qian'an, Songzhou.

"Later, as if I had won the luck, the housekeeper of Yan Hai, the servant of the ministry, found me and pointed me out a way to make money.

"I never dreamed that I would be able to get into a relationship with the officials of the ministry, so I invested a sum of money and bought a small official in the holy capital to do it.

"Later, under the operation of the housekeeper, I was arranged to be in the Beiya Forbidden Army, and I worked for a year......

"During this period," said the fat man, "the housekeeper often came to see me in the back kitchen of the Beiya, and sometimes brought General Chai from Yulinwei, and his face was very ......."

This General Yulin Weichai is the general manager of the transportation of materials in the camp of the forbidden army, and the oil, salt, rice and vegetables in the back kitchen are also included.

"Sometimes, General Chai and the housekeeper will bring me some condiments and let me add them to the meals in the barracks, saying that it is a prescription prescribed by the Tai Hospital himself, which can strengthen the body and solid ......" The fat man said, "I naturally didn't dare to disobey the order, so I did it all, but there was never an accident!" ”

Condiments......

Xu Zun hurriedly asked, "What kind of condiment?" ”

"It's a pill like an elixir," replied the fat man, "and it is first boiled in warm water, and then added to the vegetable soup."

"The general speaks, how dare I disobey? In fact, I did have suspicions in my heart, but I didn't dare to be suspicious, after all, my future was in the hands of others! ”

"And then?" Xu Zun asked.

"And then, so far this day," said the fat man, "must have come when the hour was near, and the butler had suddenly come!"

"Out of nowhere, I pulled a few large boxes, and the boxes were full of those white pills.

"He told me that there has been chaos in the Holy Capital in recent days, and the forbidden army has to step up patrols and have a heavy task, so these condiments should be added so that they can always keep their spirits and protect ......the Holy Capital."

Gee......

The more Xu Zun listened, the tighter his brows furrowed.

"Although Yan Shilang and General Chai are gone, I don't dare to disobey the housekeeper's words," the fat man said, "so when it's time to open the fire and cook, I will distribute the pills and let those kitchen assistants mix them into the various pots in the back kitchen......

"To be honest, I saw the sudden increase in the dose, and I muttered to myself, but ...... The butler has been monitoring everything we do, and I don't dare to ask......

"Then the meal began," said the fat man, "and then the guards came and arrested a few of us!"

"My lord, the little ones are really wronged, I feel ......" The fat man knelt down and begged for mercy, "You should interrogate those little officials, as soon as they saw the internal guards roll call, they ran away, I feel that they should know more than me!" ”

"You said they brought a big box," Xu Zun asked, "who else is there besides Yan Hai's housekeeper?" ”

"Yes, yes!" The fat man hurriedly said, "It's those little officials, they were brought over with the housekeeper." ”

Bringing it over, Xu Zun pondered, it seems that those pills should have been transported to the barracks a long time ago, but when the time comes, they will be used directly on the spot.

"The pill...... Is there anything left? Xu Zun asked.

"Yes," Li Xing hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his arms, and when he opened it, a white pill appeared, "I found a few in the box, most of them have been broken." ”

Xu Zun took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, judging from the appearance, the pill was almost no different from the pill they had given Li Jinlou the medicine at the beginning.

The pill is covered with a layer of wax, which is probably because it is afraid that the ingredients of the pill will volatilize and affect the efficacy of the medicine.

Ani also came to identify it, and just sniffed it lightly, and it was determined that it was produced by Xuanmen.

"My lord," Li Xing reported when the fat man was taken away, "The fat man is right, except for Yan Hai's housekeeper, there is indeed a problem with those little officials.

"It's a pity that the little officials in question either didn't catch them, or they committed suicide by taking poison, and the rest were all deceived, just like the head chef."

Xu Zun took the pill to his nose and sniffed it, just about to assign some task, but his eyes froze!

"My lord," Li Xing guessed what Xu Zun meant, and asked, "Isn't it, should we find the place where the poison was hidden first?" Should...... It should be in a room in the back kitchen of the North Ya, right? Adult ......"

When Li Xing called softly, Hou Zhen and Zhao Yu suddenly entered the house dejectedly.

"Lord Xu, are you back so soon?" Zhao Yu's first sentence when he met was the same as Huo Anu and Ani, "Did the Queen Mother let you investigate this case thoroughly?" ”

"Old Zhao," Xu Zun saw that Zhao Yu was still wearing that bloody clothes, and hurriedly asked, "Are your injuries okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just ...... Alas......" he said angrily, "that Luo Jia's mouth is so hard, he won't say anything."

"His arm fell off, his eye was blind, but he simply broke the jar and broke it!"

"Yes, my lord," Hou Zhen echoed, "We don't dare to torture him too much, I'm afraid that he won't be able to stand it, so we can only heal him first, so ......"

"Hou Zhen," Xu Zun said, "You hurry up and make arrangements, I'm going to go to Bi Sheng, the leader of the Left Pavilion!" ”

"Oh?" Hou Zhen wondered, "Are you going to Zuofu?" Okay, I'll go and report ......."

"My lord," Zhao Yu hurriedly asked when he saw Xu Zun holding the pill, "Do you have any new clues?" ”

"That's right," Xu Zun nodded, lifted the pill and said, "I seem to have smelled this smell somewhere before......"
