The History of the Empress of the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 179 Questioned
This woman is a smart one, after some explanations are reasonable, even the people outside nodded in agreement, thinking that this woman would not do such a stupid thing.

"Then what suspicious things did you find before dinner?"

Apparently, Li Shikui also felt that such an old servant would not make a note to seek glory, not to mention the attitude of Master Su, it is obvious that he already has a suspect in his heart, but he has not been found yet. .

Li Shikui is the best at observing words and expressions. He believes that if he continues to investigate according to his own thinking, he will always be able to find the person that Lord Hou suspects.

The woman thought for a while, looked around, and suddenly looked at Su Nuo.

Su Nuo's heart skipped a beat, his throat was very dry yesterday evening, so he went to the back kitchen to make a bowl of candied pear water, and happened to meet the cook who was distributing the meals.

Seeing Su Nuo's panic for a moment, and the cook's gaze, Wei Feng, who had been silent all this time, also frowned, as if he had a premonition of danger, and hurriedly stood a little closer to Su Nuo, his eyes full of worry.

Sensing his worry, Su Nuo breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and smiled at him, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Don't worry, but you may have to ask the little general for help later."

Wei Feng nodded slightly, Su Nuo's eyes really looked like sister Jin'er, he couldn't help wanting to protect, no matter what, today, he would never allow anything that would be unfavorable to Su Nuo to happen.

"My lord, this old slave remembered. When the meal was just ready, Mr. Nuo brought a pear to the back kitchen and said that he wanted to boil water to drink. The old slave didn't care, so he let out the stove."

As soon as the words fell, Wei Feng here was not calm, and almost blurted out.

"There are so many people coming and going during the meal, why do you only remember Mr. Nuo, what's so suspicious about her going to the back kitchen to boil a bowl of water!"

When the cook heard this, she immediately kowtowed and cried at Li Shikui.

"My lord, Mr. Nuo never eats in the back kitchen. I haven't been to the back kitchen for so many days, but I came here once last night, so the old servant remembers it clearly."

After the cook finished speaking, Su Ruoxiu snorted coldly, adding insult to injury.

"It's really suspicious. Mr. Nuo never enters the back kitchen. Why did he only go to the back kitchen last night? Could it be that he has ulterior motives?"

"Su Nuo, this Marquis treats you well, how dare you do such a thing!"

Su Wanwan also immediately concluded that Su Nuo must have gone to the back kitchen to prescribe medicine, and when he roared angrily, he almost couldn't sit still.

Only then did Li Shikui find out that the young man who stood out in the accountant competition, Su Nuo, was the target of Lord Hou's attack. He was overjoyed, and immediately put on a pretense to judge the case.

"Su Nuo, what else do you have to say! First you poisoned the secret guards of Jinxiu Manor with poison, and then used your privilege to steal the property of Jinxiu Manor. The arrangement is really perfect! Tell me! Did you participate in the accountant contest just for the sake of it?" Go into Jinxiu Manor and steal!"

What he said was very sharp, and the speculation was reasonable. He even said that Su Nuo's theft was premeditated, and even brought out the accountant contest.

Hearing these words, Su Wanwan's heart trembled even more, and he became more and more sure that Su Nuo's participation in the cashier contest had ulterior motives, and he must be a spy sent by the second prince.

"Oh, Master Li, you think too highly of Su Nuo. Last night, Su Nuo just boiled a bowl of candied pear water because of his throat discomfort, and he was able to make the adults deduce so many twists and turns. I really admire the judge who judged the case!"
