King Xian's edict was transmitted to the county guard mansion late at night, and Wei Xu, Gao Chong'an, Luan Chong, and Bailiyan were ordered to enter the palace to face the king, and the Marquis of Xuan Ting was released to go home, but he was not allowed to go out of the city without the county guard's pardon, so as not to abscond from the crime.

Wei Xu, Gao Chong'an, and Luan Chong were waiting outside the verandah of the Wenxue Pavilion, and King Xian only summoned Bai Liyan (Wei Xian) alone, and his face was quite ugly:

"General Wei, what's going on in this matter, you explain it clearly to the widow."

"King, I won't go into detail about Lord Jiang's poisoning, just talk about the consequences."

"The widow knows that the poisonous suckling pig was bought from the Xuanting Pavilion, doesn't this imply that the widow instructed the Xuanting Marquis to poison Da Sima."

"Yes, but that's only one thing, and the other is the worst thing. The king has not yet completed the aftermath of the great Sima and others, the great Sima was poisoned at this time, and the direct consequence is to intensify the contradictions between the internal and external dynasties, and then lead the fire to the middle and high-level generals, this Luan Chong still has 20,000 county soldiers in his hands, if Jiang Yan's children want to do anything, the black turban army sneaks into the tomb in advance, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"Shhh...... General Wei is saying that this is a trap set by the Black Turban rebels, intended to force the rebels to rebel! ”

"I'm afraid that's exactly what happened. The top priority at the moment is to find out the real culprit, stabilize the hearts of Jiang Yan's henchmen, and let the truth be revealed to the world, otherwise the longer it drags on, there may be people who die in various accidental accidents. Great King, before the last general entered the city, who else died suddenly recently? ”

"As soon as General Wei said this, the widow remembered that Shi Qin, the treasurer, died of fever four days ago, but he was Jiang Yan's person."

The treasurer is the chief of the military budget allocation and material co-ordination, which is equivalent to the number one in charge of the audit and military budget in the army, and the boss is the big Sima, and at the same time is controlled by the prime minister. Correspondingly, the chief farmer is responsible for the budget and tax jurisdiction, and the chief farmer and the prime minister are jointly controlled.

The treasurer Shao Cheng Shi Qin is one of the main handlers of military supplies, and as soon as he dies, all the black accounts will be eliminated, but the problem is that the big Sima Jiang Yan died of poisoning, and even if Shi Qin died of fever, some people will immediately think of whether there is another article.

If the queen mother dies again, their henchmen will be leaderless, and the only leader is only Gongsun Yue, and King Xian does not know at this moment that Gongsun Yue changed the law in order to drag down the Xianguo and make profits for the unknown forces of the third party, so Gongsun Yue will not jump over the wall in a hurry.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and chill down my spine, there was going to be a mutiny overnight, if I couldn't crack the Jiang Yan poisoning case as soon as possible, in the current situation, if another heavyweight died, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"My lord, how is the Queen Mother's condition?" Baili Yan asked anxiously.

"General Wei is worried that the Queen Mother will die of anger?"

"Exactly, if the Queen Mother dies, the Queen Mother's henchmen will be leaderless, what if there is a good one."

"Isn't there still Xiangguo Gongsun Yue!"

Bai Liyan smiled bitterly:

"The last general suggested that the king go to see the old gentleman immediately and know the reason in detail, and the king may not think so."

"What, isn't Xiangguo more than power?"

"This matter is a long story, the king should meet with the old gentleman as soon as possible, and at the same time secretly send foreign soldiers into the city to escort him, just in case."

"Is it that serious?" King Xian will be skeptical.

"The king, the means of the supernatural king are by no means ordinary, the poison of this plan is poisonous, and we are not allowed to exert force, once we act, it is bound to intensify the contradictions, leading to large-scale turmoil, the consequences will be unimaginable, please also ask the king to learn."

It's only been two days later, and the three-plate axe of the Divine Power Heavenly King slashed towards the Lingling, and the speed was so fast that it didn't give time to react at all.

"Your Majesty, General Mo suggested that General Mo personally interrogate this case so that the case can be handled quickly."

"At this moment, who else can the widow trust, General Wei is the widow's nephew and son-in-law, Princess Lanyuan blames you a lot, but the widow says that General Wei is a person who knows how to repay his kindness. The widow has received a secret report about Liu Chensi, the envoy of the disagreed country, and General Wei is well aware of the righteousness, how can the widow not know.

This matter will be handed over to General Wei himself, even if you can't catch the mastermind behind the scenes, the widow won't blame you. The widow immediately summoned Wei Xu and Gao Chong'an, and asked them to assist you in solving this poison case as soon as possible. ”

"King Xie trusts!"

Baili Yan gave a deep salute, and King Xian summoned Wei Xu, Gao Chongan, and Luan Chong to handle the case of Jiang Yan's poisoning, and the military, government, justice, and city defense quadrangle tried and handled the case at the same time.

However, in the second half of the night, the first thing Bai Liyan did was to feel sorry for his future father-in-law, he sealed the Xuanting Pavilion, seized all the utensils in the stove room, seized all the personnel of the Xuanting Pavilion, and closed for business from tomorrow.

When Xuan Tinghou heard the news, he immediately felt heartache, it turned out that this was his good son-in-law, how much money would he lose every day in this letter......

Actually, Bai Liyan didn't detain the Xuantinghou family, which can be regarded as extraordinarily generous. If it's other rich people, don't you give it to someone first.

The interrogation of the personnel of the Xuanting Pavilion lasted from the second half of the night to noon the next day, and in the end, it was found that the kitchen leftovers who were in charge of preparing and barbecing the suckling pig yesterday were not present.

Xuanting Pavilion Miscellaneous Servants, Kitchen Eighty Cheng lives in Xuanting Pavilion Miscellaneous Courtyard, Yu Fu is no exception, after closing last night, Yu Fu never appeared again, no one paid attention to Yu Fu's whereabouts, until the East Window incident was gone.

So far, the suspicion of Yu Fu's poisoning is undoubtedly the greatest, but Bai Liyan can faintly feel that this person is afraid that he has already been killed.

According to Ma Qing, the chief housekeeper sent by the Xuanting Hou Mansion to assist in the investigation, Yu Fu is still the most proud cook of the Xuanting Hou, if this logic continues, the poisoning of the Xuanting Hou is a certainty, and getting this news only fuels Luan Chong's arrogance.

Yu Fu disappeared, the whole city searched for a whole afternoon, no one was seen alive or dead, and if it was destroyed, eighty percent of the corpse had already been disposed of.

In the afternoon, Bailiyan personally went to Yu Fu's residence in the Xuanting Pavilion to investigate the scene, and found nothing in the house except for rare spices.

Through the inspection of all the seasonings in the back kitchen of Xuanting Pavilion, the sucrose, honey, salt, alkaline noodles and other seasonings were screened, and no trace of sodium nitrite was found.

Nowadays, the quality of salt is divided into many kinds, the lowest coarse salt, boiled in seawater, contains magnesium and other compounds, bitter and heavy, mixed with a small amount of impurities such as sand, these kinds of salt are the edible salt commonly sold to the people by the salt and iron division.

The slightly better white salt is based on the principle that the density of magnesium compounds is lower than that of salt, and after boiling and concentrating in seawater, it is precipitated, so as to obtain the upper brine and boil it again, which is the salt purchased by the middle and upper class people who have plenty of money.

In addition, there are the royal snowflake salt and fine white fine salt, the white salt that is refined after purification, the price is several times that of coarse salt, most of them are eaten by dignitaries, and the Xuan Pavilion Hall uses fine white fine salt, the color is white and delicate.

The color of sodium nitrite is light yellow, even if it is mixed with white salt, the mixed toxic salt is carefully distinguished under strong light, there is still a certain color difference.

Bai Liyan carefully searched the entire Xuanting Pavilion, and there was no trace of sodium nitrite from beginning to end, which couldn't help but make people helpless.

After dark, a heavily guarded mansion in the south of the city was brightly lit, King Xian was slightly subdued here, was thundering and angry, and learned the true face of Gongsun Yue, King Xian could not hide his anger in his heart, and cursed hysterically:

"Gongsun Yue, the widow trusts him so much, he dares to betray the widow so unkindly, betray the Xianguo! It's a dog, and you should repay it! ”

"King, those who seek the country have no kindness and benevolence at all, and Gongsun Yue makes profits for other countries, how can he feel the grace of the king."

Uncle Guang and Pan explained the detailed experience, and King Xian was puzzled:.

"His grandson Yue is also a native of Xianguo, Wei Xian still knows how to repay his kindness, and he feels the kindness of the widow, why did he want to be so disobedient to the widow and harm the Xianguo, is it the widow who destroyed his nine clans, or my Xianguo treated him badly."

"Those who achieve great things will do whatever it takes, this is the fundamental means of eloquently arguing about the Tao, how can they care about the safety of the country."

"Who is the conspirator of Gongsun Yue, is it the Jin State or the Zhi Kingdom." King Xian asked.

"I can't see through, I can't see through it......"

"Then what benefit can he get from the death of Da Sima, just to put my Xianguo in a place of no return?"

"It's really weird. The most beneficiary of Jiang Yan's death should be the rebels at the moment. If the Xianguo country dies, the situation in the Central Plains will inevitably deteriorate, but the old man can't see that it will be of the slightest benefit to Gongsun Yue, at least not for the princes of the Central Plains. ”

"So, this matter has nothing to do with Gongsun Yue?"

"Maybe nothing, but what Wei Xian is worried about must be guarded against, Gongsun Yue is still Xiangguo after all, Jiang Yan has just died, if the queen mother swallows her breath, the king cuts power too quickly, it will inevitably lead to a situation where the rabbit dies and the dog cooks, so that everyone in the queen mother and her party are in danger. If Gongsun Yue has the opportunity, it is difficult to say that he will not make any moves.

Don't forget, the king is facing Zhiguo directly, it doesn't matter at this moment, if Gongsun Yue colludes with Zhiguo, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"But the army of the Gongliang clan is stationed in the northwest of Zhiguo, south of Chunan County, Suidang County and Dujun are in the southeast, is it difficult for Zhiguo to dare to risk the disapproval of the world, regardless of the pressure of the Jin Army's Zhenxi Army, and transfer the Zhendong Army from the eastern front to the north, and it is impossible to attack the widows at this time?"

The main force of the Xian army confronted the Yongxing River in the capital county, Suidang, Dongyuan, Jiangdong three counties are located in the rear, within the deterrence range of the Jin army, almost all the troops of the Xian army were transferred to the western front, the rear was extremely empty, if the Lingling was broken by the rebels, the Xian country would be nominally destroyed.

The fall of the national capital is equivalent to the death of the country, the Xian country is now in addition to Guangxin, Dingyang, Chenling is the only giant city in the hands of the Xian king, the national capital of the city of Lingling fell, and the death of the country is obviously no different, to the east can only be closer to the Jin State, and there is no suitable city to act as a companion capital. fled to Beihai County, which is still the front line, and it is Jiang Min's territory.

Once the news of the loss of the Lingling spread, Zhiguo would have no worries about attacking Xianguo, and at that time, the Jin State would also prepare to annex Xianguo with his backhand, and Zhiguo would definitely not sit idly by and watch Xianguo be completely divided by Jin.

Why is Jin allowed to eat meat, and Zhiguo is not allowed to drink soup. At that time, the rebels, the Jin army, and the Zhi army will be divided, and the king of Xian will only have a dead end.

At present, the situation of Chenling is delicate, like a calculated prey, Jiang Yan's death is the beginning of all conspiracies.
