Farm Gate Business Tycoon

Chapter 420 The Grand Finale (13)
Gu Qingmei winked at Chun's mother, Chun's mother went out and brought a pot of tea back, Gu Qingmei personally poured a cup for the emperor and Chunfei each, poured another cup for herself, and drank it in front of the emperor to show the tea There is no poison in the middle, so he retreated again.

What followed was a long wait. About an hour later, the servants came back one after another, and found six places with arsenic in total, one was a large kitchen, one was a warehouse for storing rice, and the other was a warehouse for storing cloth. One is a warehouse for storing tea, dry goods and other items, and the other is Gu Qingmei's small kitchen.

The arsenic in these five places was mixed with snack scum and sprinkled in the corners to poison rats. In addition, a government servant held a paper bag the size of a thumb belly in his hand and said to the Governor of Kyoto: "My lord, this The package of arsenic was found in the princess's room, and it was hidden under the mattress of the Arhat's bed."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the room was stunned, and they all cast their eyes on the pure concubine.

"This... This is impossible!" Gu Qingmei realized that she had been planted, and immediately showed a surprised and aggrieved expression.

"No..." Aunt Tang shook her head emotionally. "Impossible. The princess's kindness to my slaves is as great as a mountain. It is absolutely impossible for the princess to harm me. Please also ask the emperor to investigate clearly."

If the concubine Chun hadn't said those words just now, convicting her in advance, she would definitely have questioned Gu Qingmei at this time, why did she want to harm her.

However, it was because Concubine Chun saw through her scheme at a glance that she had no choice but to speak up for Gu Qingmei.

She really miscalculated, how could things turn out like this?
She obviously calculated well, why is it so difficult to implement it?
If I had known... If I had known, she would not have carried out her plan today. If there was no Concubine Chun, she couldn't help thinking bitterly in her heart that if there was no Concubine Chun, she would definitely be able to plant Gu Qingmei.

But it was because she was worried about Murong Yu's doting on Gu Qingmei, and because she was worried that Murong Yu would protect Gu Qingmei desperately, that's why she didn't take any action. She wanted to find a day when outsiders came to the mansion before taking action. For the sake of face, Murong Yu couldn't suppress Aunt Luo's death.

She thought that the emperor's arrival was a good opportunity, so she made the move.

But she ignored that the concubine Chun had been immersed in the struggle in the palace for decades, how could such a trick escape the concubine Chun's eyes?
She was just worried for too long, two aunts died one after another in the mansion, which made her very scared.

She was afraid that one day, she would follow the old path of those two aunts, so she made such a bad move.

She wanted Gu Qingmei to die!
As long as Gu Qingmei can be successfully framed, Murong Yu will know what a vicious woman Gu Qingmei is, and let Gu Qingmei be punished by the law.

Only in this way will he have a chance to survive, and then move Murong Yu with his gentleness and virtuousness.

But... Her plan was shattered by Concubine Chun.

She panicked, she didn't know how she should end this matter.

She only knew that at this moment, she could not speak out against Gu Qingmei anyway, not only could she not speak out against her, but she even wanted to clear her suspicions.

This made her feel as bitter as if she had eaten a pound of Coptis chinensis, it was unspeakably miserable.

The emperor smiled, and there was a hint of ferocity in his clear eyes that no one could detect. He casually glanced at Aunt Tang who was kneeling on the ground, and his heart was full of disgust for this beautiful and weak woman.

Because the treasury is empty, he has a special affection for people who can make money and like to donate money to the treasury. There used to be Mrs. Jun from Jiajun Wangfu, but since Mrs. Jun passed away, no one has provided support to the treasury.

He managed to wait for a Gu Qingmei who would not only make money, but was willing to spend the money for him to help him spend it. He couldn't even protect her, so how could he tolerate others hurting her?
Don't say that she didn't kill people, even if she did, he wouldn't punish her. She's just a dispensable aunt who eats and waits to die. If she dies, she dies. What's the big deal?
Not only his concubine saw that this was a conspiracy, but he also saw it a long time ago. It was just a dead aunt. This woman didn't say that she asked someone in charge to deal with it, but she had the courage to run in front of her to make trouble. bad.

"It's really interesting..." The emperor said slowly. "I was actually hit by my concubine, Princess Zhenguo, now poison is found in your house, tell me, what should I do?"

Gu Qingmei hurriedly knelt down to the emperor, and said: "Please tell the emperor, this pack of poison is definitely not hidden by my wife, if the poison in the ginseng soup was really taken by my wife, I will definitely not keep such a bag The poison is used as evidence, not to mention the place where the poison can be easily found under the mattress. The court wife is not afraid to let the emperor know that in the court wife's room, there are actually a lot of money hidden in the house. Each of these hidden compartments for storing silver notes is more suitable for hiding poison than under the mat."

"Yes!" Concubine Chun said softly. "Your Majesty, do you believe that with the wisdom of Brother Yu's daughter-in-law, you can do such a careless thing?"

The emperor pondered for a while, and did not answer her question, but said: "Kyoto Prefecture, you continue to investigate, you must find out the source of this packet of poison."

"Yes!" Lord Fu Yin agreed, and looked up at Gu Qingmei, "Princess, please call all the people who have been exposed to arsenic, and let me check."

Gu Qingmei nodded, and told Chun's mother to call all the people from the kitchen and the warehouse. After a while, a large group of people knelt down in the room.

Lord Fu Yin said: "Let me ask you, where does the arsenic used to poison rats in the usual mansion come from?"

Gong Jinshu replied: "My lord, every month, someone from the mansion will go to the pharmacy to buy two taels of arsenic, then mix it in the snack residue, divide it into five parts, one for the big kitchen, one for the princess's small kitchen, There are also a few warehouses that are often plagued by rats, scattered in the corners, and the rodent control is very effective.”

"Then..." Mr. Fu Yin asked. "When was the last time you received arsenic?"

"This..." Gong Jinshu thought about it seriously and replied. "It was five days ago!"

"Since this is the case, think about it carefully. After receiving the arsenic, who have you been in contact with? Is there anyone who may have been exposed to arsenic?"

The maids and women kneeling on the ground looked at each other, no one could remember what happened five days ago so clearly.

The concubine Chun heard a sneer, and said: "You don't have to think so much, just think about whether Aunt Tang went to you when you were receiving the arsenic, and whether she ever asked you about the arsenic. The arsenic thing?"
