Farm Gate Business Tycoon

Chapter 418 The Grand Finale (11)
The yamen servants he brought were ordered to disperse in a well-trained manner and searched around.

Taking advantage of the search by the yamen servants, the governor of Jingdu looked at Aunt Tang and said with a smile, "This is the aunt who escaped the catastrophe, right?"

Aunt Tang slightly bent her knees, "Your Excellency, it's your servant!"

"I want to ask you a few questions, and please answer them truthfully!"

"Excuse me, my lord!"

Mr. Fu Yin's sharp eyes scanned the corpse on the ground, "Do you have a good relationship with the deceased?"

Aunt Tang timidly raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Qingmei, and then said in a low voice: "My lord's question made this servant not know how to answer. Aunt Luo and this servant followed my master one after another, and they were all serving him. On weekdays, all of them don’t go out of the gate, and there is no one else to communicate with, and they are fairly familiar with each other.”

Lord Fu Yin walked around the flower hall a few times with his hands behind his back, and suddenly asked: "Then who made the bowl of ginseng soup that the deceased took?"

A little servant girl fell to her knees with a thud: "It's a servant girl, but I dare to swear that I never poisoned you! The servant girl cooks ginseng soup in the big kitchen, where people come and go, there is no chance of poisoning at all! "

Mr. Fu Yin thought for a while, and said to Wu: "Go to the kitchen and find the tools for making ginseng soup, and check whether there is poison in it."

Wu Zuo agreed, and called the little maid to go to the big kitchen together. After checking it, she came back and reported that there was still some ginseng soup in the soup pot used to make ginseng soup, and there was no arsenic in it.

Lord Fu Yin looked at the little maid, and asked again: "Then when you boiled the ginseng soup and brought it into this room, did you ever leave the stove? Or did anyone else touch this bowl of ginseng soup?"

The little servant girl thought about it carefully, "No...no... Aunt Tang was afraid that others would harm her, so she specially told her servants to be absolutely careful when eating."

"Be absolutely careful when eating?" Mr. Fu Yin cast his sharp gaze on Aunt Tang, seemingly carelessly sweeping over her stomach. "Aunt Tang, since you are so careful about what you eat, why didn't you test it with a silver needle when drinking the ginseng soup?"

"I..." Aunt Tang raised her head hesitantly, quickly cast a glance at Mr. Fu Yin, but immediately lowered her head again, and said pitifully. "Because there has never been a mistake in the food and drink in the mansion, the servants can take it lightly."

"Because the food in the mansion has never been wrong, so you take it lightly. Then I have another question. I would like to ask this aunt, your maid said that you are afraid that others will harm you, so you told her to eat. You must be absolutely careful. Then in your opinion, who will harm you in this house?" Mr. Fu Yin pointed out this question sharply, which made Aunt Tang gasp.

Aunt Tang knelt down on the ground in panic, her eyes staring all over the place in fear, "This... this... I don't have anyone to suspect, I just feel that it takes a lot of time to be careful, that's why I said this. I heard that the same is true for the princess, and someone will check her diet every day."

Looking at her panicked face, Gu Qingmei couldn't help but narrow her almond eyes. She had an instinctive intuition that today's incident had absolutely nothing to do with Aunt Tang.

However, just when she was about to speak, Murong Yu secretly pulled her sleeve. She turned her face to look at Murong Yu in puzzlement, and saw Murong Yu gently shook her head at her, signaling her not to speak.

Before, the old prince had warned Murong Yu not to let Gu Qingmei show her sharpness too much, but to hide her clumsiness as much as possible. This warning was firmly in his mind, so he didn't want her to show off too much in front of the emperor.

Now, they have invited the governor of Kyoto to handle the case, so the case should be handed over to the governor of Kyoto. The governor of Kyoto is quite capable, as long as he is willing to investigate, he can still find out the clues.

If the governor of Kyoto can't find out, he can still come forward, but no matter what, he can't let Gu Qingmei reveal her intelligence.

The emperor's mind is elusive.

Then I heard the governor of Kyoto asking Aunt Tang, "So, do you have any enemies in this mansion?"

Aunt Tang glanced at Gu Qingmei with a flustered expression, then shook her head hastily, "No...no, slaves have no enemies in the house, princess... princess treats slaves very well..."

The Governor of Kyoto's expression changed, and he raised his eyes to look at Gu Qingmei, but saw that Gu Qingmei was standing there quietly without even raising his eyelids.

Mr. Fu Yin stroked the few black beards under his jaw with his hands, and said loudly: "The ginseng soup in the crock is not poisonous, so it can be seen that the poison was not put in when the ginseng soup was boiled! Just now this girl said that the ginseng soup is boiled Well, when Duan came into the house, no one else has touched it, that is to say, apart from the deceased, only this Aunt Tang has touched the ginseng soup, right?"

"My lord, although I have touched the ginseng soup, I just served it to Aunt Tang, and it was not poisoned. I swear, there is absolutely no poison in the room of the servant..."

Lord Fu Yin said expressionlessly: "Then let's wait and see if poison can be found in whose house."

The room suddenly fell into an eerie silence, no one spoke anymore, they were all quietly waiting for a result.

But the concubine Chun couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, this murder case seems complicated, but in fact, it's just a woman in the inner house doing trouble. Please allow my concubine to intervene a few words."

"Okay!" The emperor looked dotingly at Concubine Chun. "Concubine Chun has always managed the harem and has a lot of experience. You come to the trial. If you can solve the case, I will reward you."

"Yes!" Concubine Chun answered delicately, but turned to look at Aunt Tang with a gloomy look. "This is really funny. You have no enemies in the mansion, but you tell the servant girl to eat carefully, so who will harm you?"

Aunt Tang hurriedly knelt down and said: "Back to your mother's words, as the saying goes, you must not have the intention of harming others, but you must have the intention of guarding against others. The slaves think that they have their own duties in this mansion, and have never had any grudges with others. The servant does not know who is going to kill the servant. It's just that I feel sorry for Aunt Luo's death on behalf of the servant, and the servant is really disturbed."

Concubine Chun glared at her with bright eyes, without hiding the sneer on her lips, "Everyone has a reason to harm others, some for fame, some for profit, absolutely no one will do it for no reason. To harm others. You keep saying that Aunt Luo died on your behalf, that is to say, the person who drugged you came for you. But you are just a little aunt, with no money or power, and you have no conflicts with others. There's no reason to want to hurt you, is there?"

"Yes..." Aunt Tang lowered her head anxiously, and suddenly felt a little cold all over her body.

"Since your concubine can tolerate you, you still order someone to make ginseng soup for you every day, which proves that she has no reason to attack you. Do you admit this?"
