I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times

Chapter 279 Suicide out of fear of crime

Although Chef Xu gritted his teeth, he insisted that Ling Chu bribed him.

 But everyone present could tell that there were lots of loopholes in his words.

The emperor said solemnly, "Ning Aiqing, drag him down and interrogate the person behind this."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chef Xu collapsed to the ground.

He is just an ordinary person and cannot bear the punishment of Jin Yiwei at all.

But even if he could bear it, he couldn't.

 In fact, the moment he took action, he knew that he had only a dead end.

Xu Kitchen Server lowered his head in despair, feeling angry and helpless in his heart. He didn't want to poison anyone, but it was a pity that he couldn't help himself.

Ning Chuyi was just about to wave his hand to Wei Feng to drag him down again, but suddenly he saw a trace of black blood spilling from Chef Xu's lips.

 The secret passage is not good.

His body flashed and he reached Chef Xu's side. He stretched out his hand and pinched his chin.

It’s a pity that it was a step too slow after all.

Ning Chuyi had a stern look on his face, it was because he was careless.

I didn’t expect that this cook, just an ordinary person, had poison hidden in his teeth.

 Seeing the cook bite the poison and kill himself, some timid ladies screamed in fright.

 When he saw the emperor and queen sitting at the head, he was so frightened that he covered his mouth.

Ling Chu watched the ghost of Chef Xu stand up from the ground, then faced his body lying on the ground, wiping tears from his red eyes.

Then he raised his head and glanced into the distance, choking and saying, "Sister, my eldest brother is gone, and I can no longer help you. I hope you can give the second prince a boy and a half girl, and you will have someone to rely on in the future, not counting eldest brother." Death in vain.

 You don’t have to be sad if your eldest brother is gone. Being able to escape from this prison is not a bad thing. In the next life, the eldest brother must be reincarnated into a wealthy family, so that he no longer has to worry about serving noble people all day long. "

Ling Chu followed Chef Xu's line of sight, but there was no one where he looked.

 That direction is probably the palace where the second prince lives.

　　 Xu the cook thought he was dead and no one heard him.

 After talking to himself, he turned around and left without any regrets.

Lingchu almost rolled his eyes, put the **** basin on her head, and wanted to be reincarnated into a wealthy family.

It’s really daring to think about it.

With a flick of the hand, a talisman light fell on Chef Xu, immobilizing him.

Xu Chef could not move, staring at Ling Chu with fear in his eyes.

 Princess Guangping saw that Chef Xu had committed suicide. She was not afraid, but was moved in her heart.

Xu Kitchen Server insisted to her death that it was the little **** who ordered her to do this, and she had to wear this **** basin even if she didn't.

 After being convicted, even if she refuses to give the fifty thousand taels, others will not accuse her.

Princess Guangping was worried about Ning Chuyi. When she saw the Minister of Punishment on the side, she immediately said, "Master Di, Chef Xu's death certificate proves his innocence, which shows that he did not lie.

Miss Ling first bribed the kitchen servant and ordered him to poison, and then took the opportunity to threaten the antidote. The lion extorted 150,000 taels and was punished for several crimes. What crime should he be punished for? "

The Minister of Punishment has never seen anyone before, so he guessed her thoughts in a flash of his mind.

“What Chef Xu said is just his own words, and there is no way to prove that it was Miss Ling who instigated him.

As for blackmail, I have never seen Miss Ling receive a penny. "

Princess Dingyuan has always been gentle and rarely gets angry, but this time she couldn't help but glare at Princess Guangping.

“Miss Ling saved me and Princess Jing with her own life-saving medicine and didn’t charge a penny.

  But Princess Jing and I are not that kind of ungrateful people.

To thank Miss Ling for saving her life, we took the initiative to give her a thank you gift.

　　How did it come to your mouth that this became blackmail? "

Princess Jing sneered at Princess Guangping, "The death of Chef Xu, is it called a death certificate to prove innocence? It was clearly a suicide out of fear of crime! Miss Ling didn't force you to buy the antidote, it was you who didn't want to die, so you cried and begged her for it. Sell ​​you the medicine.

If someone saves you, you don't say thank you, but instead burn the bridge across the river, and you are not afraid of others poking your back.

Or are you saying that your Guangping Palace is now an empty shell and can’t even afford 50,000 taels of medicine? "

Princess Guangping’s face turned black and her fingernails were almost cut off.

 The Queen Mother has always been fond of her youngest son, Prince Jing, and she has always been kind to her daughter-in-law, Princess Jing.

Princess Guangping knew that Princess Jing never had to look at anyone's face among the noble ladies in Kyoto, but she didn't expect that she would make it difficult for her to get off the stage in front of so many people.

Concubine An's niece was killed by Ping Yang, and she was happy to see Princess Guangping embarrassed.

 It’s just that she doesn’t like Princess Jing either.

“Princess, as the old saying goes, when a person is about to die, his words are also good.

As the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs, so why did Chef Xu insist that it was Miss Ling who instigated it until his death, instead of saying it was someone else? "

Ning Chuyi looked at Ling Chu and saw that she had a pale face and lowered her head in silence, feeling guilty in her heart.

If he hadn't been careless and let Chef Xu bite himself with poison, she wouldn't have been put in a excrement basin.

“Your Majesty, I will take people to search the imperial kitchen to see if there is anything missing.”

The emperor was already impatient when he heard those people arguing. Naturally, he didn't believe that it was Ling Chu who ordered Chef Xu to tamper with the fish soup.

 If the person behind him is not found out, it is like a sword hanging over his head.

These people had treacherous intentions and instigated people to poison his royal meal, with disastrous consequences.

Ning Chuyi was about to take people to the imperial kitchen to search for puffer fish, but Ling Chu quickly took out the copper coins and turtle shells and made a prediction.

 “Lord Ning, there is no puffer fish in the imperial dining room.”

The reason why Lingchu didn't speak just now was because she was busy using the system to search for the puffer fish used by Xu Xu.

 The imperial dining rooms in the palace are divided into inner and outer imperial dining rooms. The inner imperial dining rooms are generally used to prepare meals for the concubines and other people in each palace.

The outer imperial dining room is responsible for the meals of the ministers, imperial doctors, guards, and eunuchs and maids in the palace.

In addition, when banquets are held in the palace, the outer imperial kitchen is also responsible.

 As for the emperor, the queen mother and the empress, they all have their own dining rooms.

Today the Queen is hosting a banquet, and all the meals are prepared by the imperial kitchen.

But the puffer fish was not in the imperial kitchen at all. Even if Ning Chuyi led people to search the place, he would not find it.

 Pufferfish is too dangerous and the palace has never allowed eating it.

Not only did the outer imperial dining room not have one, but the imperial chef in the inner imperial dining room did not dare to do it knowingly.

Ning Chuyi took a look at the hexagram and didn’t understand it. He simply didn't embarrass himself and asked Ling Chu directly.

“Miss Ling, have you discovered anything?”

Lingchu nodded and pointed, "According to the hexagram, it's in that direction."

Ning Chuyi looked in the direction of her finger.

He frowned slightly, that was the direction of Jinghua Palace.

Concubine An's expression changed for a moment, and she quickly returned to her calm demeanor.

As the lord of the palace, the emperor is very familiar with the entire palace.

His face suddenly darkened.

Lingchu ignored everyone's thoughts, put away the copper coin turtle shell, and made a secret to put away the ghost of Chef Xu.

Pick up your feet and follow the system’s guidance and walk forward.
