Chapter 40 Poisoning
When Lu Chengting saw Xiao Jinyue giving treatment to the maid, he couldn't help watching. After thinking about it, he raised his feet and walked towards the horse whose neck was wiped.

Seeing this, the commander Zheng Chengye raised his eyebrows in surprise, and followed the prince of Zhen Guogong.

But he couldn't help muttering in his heart, and he didn't know what the relationship between the prince of Zhen Guogong and that girl was. Not only did he send his own guards to help her deal with the aftermath, but now he personally inspected the horse that had the accident.

But he knew it was out of his hands.

Zheng Chengye saw that the prince of Zhen Guo ignored the dirt on the horse and inspected it bit by bit by himself, so he had no choice but to squat beside him to check.

Seeing that Fennel's problem was not serious, Xiao Jinyue breathed a sigh of relief. After she settled down, she raised her feet and walked towards the two who were checking the horses.

She would like to see what caused the startled horse.

Xiao Jinyue walked up to the two of them, endured the pain all over her body and squatted down, "How about it, Prince Zhen Guo can find out anything unusual?"

Lu Chengting turned his head and glanced at her, his eyes touched the redness on her forehead, he just felt that it was an eyesore, he pursed his thin lips and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this horse should be poisoned."

Zheng Chengye has been the commander of the Army and Horse Division for many years. He has been patrolling the streets all year round. He has seen a lot of shocking incidents, but he has accumulated some experience. .”

In fact, Xiao Jinyue had already expected that this incident was man-made. Almost all the horses in the house followed their father and retreated from the battlefield. If they were not poisoned by man, it is absolutely impossible for these well-trained horses to go crazy without a reason .

She checked it with the silver needle she carried with her, and judging from the symptoms on the horse, it was indeed like what Prince Zhen Guogong and Commander Zheng said, "Judging from the things left in the horse's mouth, this horse should have been killed by the horse." People mixed two other kinds of poison with frightening horse grass and poured it into the sesame seed cakes to induce it to eat it. The time of poisoning was indeed as the commander said, about two quarters of an hour ago."

The commander made Zheng Chengye curious, "Where did the girl go two quarters of an hour ago? But did she have a grudge with someone else?"

Xiao Jinyue lowered her eyes to hide the coldness in her eyes, "Two quarters of an hour ago, I took someone to the Jinyuanzheng Company to discuss some business with the manager of the company. Although the business was not negotiated, there was no enmity. See The other party refused to supply me with goods, and I didn't pester him, so I left with my maid in charge, and there was a shock on the way back."

As for the fact that she was almost bumped by a little maid in Jin Yuanzheng, it wasn't that she deliberately concealed it, but she just felt that the other party didn't bump into her, and she didn't beat or scold that maid.It was just a small episode that couldn't be smaller, and the other party should not have poisoned her horse for such a small accident.

The commander didn't suspect that Xiao Jinyue was lying. He could find out the truth by simply checking these things, and the other party didn't need to lie at all.

Zheng Chengye rubbed his chin, frowned and thought, "So, since there is no conflict in Jinyuanzheng, why would someone do this to you for no reason?"

Xiao Jinyue sneered, "I also want to know who actually attacked me."

The son of Lord Zhen Guo who had been silent all this time suddenly said, "As far as I know, the master behind Jin Yuanzheng is Zou Ping, the second master of the household department's Zuo Shilang's residence."

"Does Miss Xiao know him?" It's not that Zheng Chengye insisted on asking to the end because of his curiosity, it's just that the incident happened in Dongcheng under his jurisdiction, so he had to know as much as possible.

Otherwise, when asked by the superiors, if he didn't know everything, the superiors might think that he didn't care about being on duty.

Xiao Jinyue shook her head, "I don't know any of the people in Zuo Shilang's House of Hubu, and it's the first time I've even met the chief manager of Jinyuanzheng Company today. Moreover, as far as I know, the family and Zuo Shilang of Hubu There is no contact with the Minister's Mansion either."

Although she still doesn't know who is responsible for the murder, Xiao Jinyue believes that there is no gratuitous hatred in the world.

Xiao Jinyue stretched out his hand to wipe the eyes of the dead horse, "You can go at ease, I will definitely find the perpetrator and avenge you."

Lu Chengting glanced at her unexpectedly. Although the horse was poisoned by someone, it also caused her to collide with the servant girl, and she had to pay a large amount of compensation. Unexpectedly, she didn't resent the horse at all. Horses are rare.

Xiao Jinyue naturally didn't know what he was thinking. Of course, she would not have any resentment towards a horse. In the final analysis, there is a wrong and a debtor. In the final analysis, this horse, like her, is just an innocent victim.

"Young Master Zhen Guo, I wonder if you can send a guard to help me send the maid back to the mansion? I have to go and see how the second steward handles the matter." Don't worry about debts, since I was rescued by the Duke of Zhen Guo today. , Xiao Jinyue decided to ask for help again brazenly, anyway, her parents must come to thank each other, at worst, let her parents prepare a generous thank you gift.

Lu Chengting was a little surprised when he heard her words, this person wanted to avoid him like a beast just now, why would he ask him to borrow someone so rudely.

Seeing her injuries all over her body, it's hard to hate her, "I'll ask the guards to send you and the maid back to the mansion, and deal with the injuries on your body."

"No, just send my maid back."

Xiao Jinyue was worried about the situation on the other side of the street. She was worried that many people would be injured. If the second steward could not deal with it in time, and let the people behind the scenes stir up public grievances, her father might be impeached by Yushi.

Seeing that she insisted not to go back, Lu Chengting couldn't say anything more, he beckoned for a guard and asked him to find a carriage to take Miss Xiao's maid back.

Anise heard that the girl was going to send her back home, but she wanted to stay to deal with the aftermath. In a hurry, despite her dizziness, she struggled to get up to help the girl.

Xiao Jinyue stretched out her hand to stop her, "Don't follow, you are covered in injuries, and you can't help me if you go, I have to distract myself from taking care of you."

"Besides, the injury on your head can't stand the toss. If you don't take good care of it, it will leave sequelae. If you are worried, tell my mother about the matter after you return to the house. If the young master is at the house, let him take it with you. It’s enough for someone to come and help me.”

Xiao Jinyue didn't want to hide such a big thing from his family, and he couldn't hide it either.It's just that at this time, her father is probably still on duty in the palace, so she can only ask her elder brother to help.

Hearing what she said, Anise didn't insist on following, and reluctantly followed the guard back.But in her heart, she was crazily stabbing the poisoner, and she kept muttering and cursing.

The guard who escorted her looked at her one after another, hearing her scolding more and more fiercely, his whole body was furious, and he silently moved away from her.

She had heard that the horse driving the carriage had been poisoned at the Jinyuanzheng firm.

It's just that she didn't understand, although the business was not negotiated, but there was no conflict with the people in the company, how could it be poisoned for no reason?

Wait...she remembered.
