Chapter 57: Rhetoric
Several maids entered with glass fish and placed the delicacies on each guest's table, a total of two dishes, West Lake vinegar fish and bear's paw tofu.
When the lid of the glass jar was lifted, many guests let out an exclamation.
The so-called fish and bear's paws can't have both, and only the Guogong Mansion can be so extravagant, and everyone has these two dishes on the table without exception.
When the maid serving the food passed in front of her, Wang Miaoyan raised her head and drank the wine in the cup, and glanced casually at the glass cup in her hand.
The two plates of glass cups were placed in front of the old lady, and the old lady was very satisfied with the surprised reaction of the people around her, raised her hand and smiled and said the scene, so that the guests did not have to be restrained.
Just when the atmosphere was happy, suddenly, someone in the middle seat of the birthday banquet was pale and vomited blood.
"Poofโ"
The frightened voice of the maid came: "Miss! โ
This movement attracted the attention of the guests, and the woman in the colorful skirt leaned weakly on the table, looking pained and vomiting blood, and her body convulsed.
Everyone was shocked when they saw it, and then someone reacted, "Oh no, the dish is poisonous!" โ
As soon as these words came out, the banquet became chaotic in an instant, and the guests were in a commotion, and they all ate these dishes, fearing that they would be the next to be poisoned.
No one expected that someone at the birthday banquet would dare to poison in public, many people were frightened, and some people even began to pick their throats and eyes, and there were few calm.
The middle-aged man was flustered, and it seemed that it was probably the woman's father, "Go and call the doctor!" โ
Grandpa Guo stood up, his face was not very good, "Don't worry, Yuan Lingshi, the next person has already gone to invite." โ
The accident happened to the young lady of the Yuan family, the daughter of the military department, and her official position is inconspicuous among many dignitaries and dignitaries today.
But if she dies in the Guogong Mansion, the Yuan family will definitely be able to participate in the Guogong Mansion in the court.
The woman's lips were blue, and soon she couldn't hold it anymore, and she fell to the ground softly, her pale face without a trace of blood, and there was no life.
"Qinan!!"
No one noticed that Liu Lu in the pile covered his mouth in astonishment, and retreated in panic.
Because she recognized a dish on the table of Miss Yuan, it was exactly the same as the one she had infiltrated the kitchen and poisoned last night.
Isn't that a meal for the old ladies of Baomotang, why is it here? And it poisoned people.
Suddenly, Jiang Yu rushed into the crowd quickly, walked up to the woman, took out something from her sleeve, pinched the woman's chin and stuffed it into her mouth, and at the same time took the wine next to her and poured it down to her.
Jiang Yan's movements were so fast that everyone didn't react, and they didn't see what Jiang Yan fed her.
As soon as she finished pouring wine to the young lady of the Yuan family, whose life and death were unknown, she was violently pushed away by the maid, "What are you doing!?" โ
The maid's strength was arrogant, Jiang Yan was pushed off guard, and she was about to fall, but a hand reached out behind her and stabilized her in time.
"Thank you." Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, subconsciously thanked politely, turned her head to see who helped her, and met Qin Zexu with smiling eyes.
Jiang Yan's face sank instantly, and she twisted her head back directly.
Qin Zexu chuckled playfully, "Do you want to change your face so quickly?" โ
The surroundings were messy and crowded, and no one noticed the interaction between the two, so Jiang Yu wouldn't pay attention to him.
It just so happened that the doctor came in a hurry at this time, and everyone was diverted from paying attention, so they didn't care what Jiang Yu fed Yuan Qinan.
The doctor finished checking Yuan Qinan's pulse, probed his snort and checked his pupils, and after a while, he shook his head heavily at Grandpa Guo.
"It's no longer possible, let's go back and prepare for the future."
Yuan's father was buzzing in his head, and his hand hanging on his side trembled, and he almost fainted on the spot.
A voice in the crowd anxiously asked, "Dare to ask the doctor, what kind of poison is this?" โ
The doctor exhaled turbid air and said firmly: "Poison." โ
"It's poison again!?" Aunt Xiao reacted violently, "How long has it been since the last poisonous bird's nest incident?" Eighty percent is the same murderer who poisoned the bird's nest last time! If the murderer is not arrested, who knows who the murderer will poison next! โ
For a while, people in the Guogong Mansion were panicked, and everyone was in danger, and this birthday banquet was completely messed up so far.
Grandpa Guo is anxious, many of the people who come today are high-ranking officials and magnates, if something happens here, the Guogong Mansion can't afford it.
This kind of ugly thing happened, and the face of the Guogong Mansion was lost, and the old lady's expression was gloomy and terrifying, "Give me a thorough investigation!" Even if you turn the entire Guogong Mansion over, you have to catch the murderer! โ
With the old lady's order, a large number of guards poured in, and several doctors who arrived later checked the dishes and drinks on everyone's table one by one.
The people of the Yuan family hugged Yuan Qinan, who was out of breath, and cried bitterly, and the doctor checked out the poison in a Taibai duck used by Yuan Qinan.
One after another, the dishes on the tables of other guests were also found to be poisonous, but without exception, the poison was placed in the bear's paw tofu or West Lake vinegar fish that was newly served with a glass jar, and the guests had no time to use it.
Only Yuan Qinan, who died of poisoning, was different, and the poison given to her was hidden in other dishes.
"Alas, Miss Yuanjia is also pitiful, she went like this at a young age, it's a pity."
"Who said no, I don't know who is so cruel and vicious, he dares to poison the banquet, it's just bold!"
"If you catch the murderer, you will have to cut it with a thousand knives!"
Liu Lu's heart was pounding, and her back was soaked with cold sweat.
She never expected that things would make such a big fuss, and she couldn't help but be afraid.
Although she thought that she was very careful when she was poisoned yesterday, she didn't dare to ensure that it would be strictly investigated, and she would not be able to find her head at all.
A large-scale search has been launched in the mansion, and Grandpa Guo and the Zhou family are busy appeasing the guests.
Jiang Yu stood in the crowd with her brows furrowed, her eyes swept over the dishes used by Yuan Qinan, is it really poisonous?
She stepped forward and stretched out her hand to pick up the plate of Taibai duck to take a closer look, but she was scolded by someone who split her head and covered her face, "Where did the cheap girl touch something?" Don't put it down yet! โ
Jiang Yan was so noisy that her ears hurt, she looked up coldly, and the doctor finally saw her face clearly, and sneered, "Yo, it's you again." โ
"It's been so long, have you found out that bowl of poisonous bird's nest isn't poison?"
Last time, he made a bet with Jiang Wei that if it was found that there was no poison in the bird's nest, he would never be treated again in this life.
It's a pity that after so much time, Jiang Yu didn't move at all.
Now that he saw Jiang Yan, Dr. Chi couldn't help but ridicule her a few words.
Jiang Yu also remembered, and glanced at him with the eyes of an idiot.
She really found out that it wasn't poison.
The maid rushed over angrily, "What the hell did you just give my young lady food!" โ
"It's just an emergency antidote pill, I thought that if it could be useful to Miss Yuan, I gave it to her." Jiang Yu casually made up a set of rhetoric.
