Chapter 238: Oversized Black Cauldron

Li Hao's heart shook again when he heard this, the three princes supported him, what a big force, Li Hao was suddenly excited, very excited, this was really an unexpected joy, but he quickly calmed down, slowly frowned, and said: "Uncle Cheng, you trust me, I am very happy, but the emperor hates forming a party for personal gain, so we will still have normal contacts in the future, in terms of major affairs, you should not favor me, when I need help, I will ask the three uncles for help, otherwise the emperor will find out the clues, I am afraid that it will not be good." ”

Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised: "You kid, you are really thoughtful, and Mao Gong said the same." ”

"That's very good." Li Hao nodded and sat down.

Cheng Yanjin poured Li Hao half a bowl of wine, and said slowly: "Chu Liang and Chu Bi, these two ignorant guys, broke my heart, you kid is so good, I wonder if you can help me teach the two of them well?" ”

Li Hao smiled when he heard this: "What's so difficult about this, as long as Uncle Cheng hands over the two of them to me, a year later, I will return your two reborn sons." ”

"Really?" Cheng Yanjin's eyes lit up, obviously excited.

"It's more real than pearls." Li Hao nodded solemnly and said, "But my training method is very hard, so don't feel distressed when the time comes." ”

"What, feel sorry for these two melons?" Cheng Yanjin slapped the table, glared at him and said loudly, "You can practice how you want, if they are disobedient, you will pump them, pump hard, and smoke to death." ”

Li Hao sweated wildly when he heard this, and felt sorry for the Cheng brothers for three seconds, when he met such a father, he really didn't know what color their childhood was.

This wine was drunk for two hours, Li Hao was carried into the house by Lu Yun, accompanied by Cheng Chuliang and Cheng Chubi, for following Li Hao's side, these two people were very excited, from the bottom of their hearts, they admired Li Hao very much, they were the general manager of the march at a young age, controlled tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and destroyed a country, how majestic, how sassy, to be able to follow him, enough for them to blow in front of the fox friends and dog friends for several years, and their fox friends and dog friends will only do some things to tease the little widow and peek at the Qinglou woman bathing, can't get on the stage, in comparison, Li Hao is too tall.

Although Li Hao was drunk, he seemed to still have a little consciousness, and as soon as Lu Yun put him down, Li Hao straightened his tongue and said: "Jin Li, send these two rammed goods of the Cheng family to Xue Rengui, let him practice hard and practice to the death." ”

"Yes!" Jin Li took the order and said to the two sons of the Cheng family, "Two young masters, please." ”

Cheng Chuliang and Cheng Chubi were unhappy, they thought they were here to follow Li Hao, but they didn't expect Li Hao to hand them over to others, can they be happy, in fact, it doesn't matter if they are happy or not, because when they see Xue Rengui, they can no longer be described as unhappy, but collapse.

After Li Hao returned to the room, he slept like a dead pig, and Lu Yun, Feiying, and Jin Li took turns to be on duty outside the room in case the silver fox came to assassinate Li Hao again.

That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and a black shadow in Chang'an City quietly came out of Fengle Fang, constantly passing through the streets and alleys, and came to the outside of Li's chicken wishbone shop in the West Market, went around to a small alley, and turned into the courtyard wall.

The gambling house is open all night at night, the front hall is very lively, the gamblers are shouting here, and there is chaos, but the man in black entered the backyard of the gambling house from the back door of the gambling house, so no one found him, he closed the courtyard door after entering the hospital, and then breathed a long sigh of relief, took off the mask and hood, revealing a wrinkled face, it was the owner of the Santai gambling house, Yu Santai.

When Yu Santai walked into the backyard of the gambling house from the back door, a sneaky figure suddenly flashed out of the corner, tiptoed to the backyard door, and looked in through the crack in the door.

After the sneaky figure saw Yu Santai walk into the room, he frowned and muttered in a low voice: "What did Yu Santai secretly do in the middle of the night at Li's chicken wishbone shop, is there anything boring?" ”

It turned out that this person was a frequent visitor to the Santai gambling house, gambling all night here tonight, and when he was secretly peeing in the backyard in the middle of the night, he saw a black shadow sneaking out of the backyard door, and he followed all the way and saw what happened.

But it's none of his business, hanging high, this person didn't think much about it, climbed over the wall into the backyard of the gambling house, and then came to the gambling hall to continue gambling.

The next morning, everything was as usual, the early morning sun sprinkled on the streets of Chang'an, all the shops opened one after another, vendors and pedestrians gradually filled the streets, and it didn't take long for someone on the street to exclaim: "Someone fainted!" ”

As soon as these words came out, many people immediately gathered around, only to see a middle-aged man in his early thirties lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth, his face was red, and he was convulsing, and there was a cardboard bag next to him, on which were written the words "Li's chicken wishbone".

"Someone here fainted, too!" Not far away, someone shouted again, and everyone looked in the direction where the sound came from, and it was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man in brocade clothes who fell to the ground and convulsed, foaming at the mouth, and the symptoms were exactly the same as the middle-aged man just now.

For a while, people kept falling to the ground on the street, all foaming at the mouth, with similar symptoms, and the street was suddenly chaotic, and people were panicked, for fear that they would suddenly become like them.

The people who fell to the ground were sent to the nearby medical hall one after another, and some people went to report to the officials, and Tan Wen, the current assassin of Chang'an, was shocked when he heard the news, and hurriedly sent officials to handle the case to find the cause of the mysterious death of the people.

It didn't take long for the officials to come back and report that all the infirmaries were the same, that those people were poisoned by arsenic, that there were hundreds of poisoned people, and more than 20 people had died, and that these people had all eaten the same thing, that is, Li's chicken wishbone.

Tan Wen was shocked when he heard this, Li's chicken wishbone is famous in Chang'an, who doesn't know that it is Li Hao's industry, and he also got the emperor's golden signboard "the first chicken in the world", but now Li's chicken wishbone is suspected of being serious, and he has to investigate, Tan Wen hesitated for a moment, and quickly sent someone to report the matter to Dali Temple.

After receiving the report from the Chang'an Thorn Mansion, Sun Fujia, the secretary of Dali Temple, personally led people to surround the two Li chicken wishbone shops in Chang'an, and he personally brought people to the Xishi store.

Although Li's chicken wishbone shop has the emperor's imperial plaque, but at most it can prevent others from coming to make trouble, it does not mean that they can be above the national law, Sun Fujia enforced the law impartially, sent people to search, and soon a government sent out to report: "My lord, three cylinders of chicken wishbones were found inside, two of which were tested with silver needles, and they were found to be highly toxic!" ”

Sun Fujia said with a cold face: "Detain everyone in the store, move the evidence back to Dali Temple, and seal the store." ”

"Yes!" Everyone acted quickly, Hu Laohan and his wife and a few guys were locked up, and they shouted wronged, but it was useless, and they were directly escorted away.

After Sun Fujia sent someone to seal the chicken wishbone shop, he took everyone back to the yamen of Dali Temple, wrote a warrant and handed it to Fan Zheng, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and said: "With this official document, quickly take a hundred people to the Hou Mansion of Lantian County and arrest Hou Li Hao of Lantian County on suspicion of selling poisonous food." ”

Fan Zheng's face was embarrassed when he heard this, and asked: "My lord, if the Marquis of Lantian County resists, what should be done with it?" ”

Sun Fujia thought for a while and said, "If he resists, surround the Hou Mansion, and at the same time send someone back to inform the official, and the official will report to the emperor and ask for the holy judge." ”

"Yes!" As soon as Fan Zheng heard this, he suddenly felt the bottom of his heart, and left like a gust of wind.

Li Hao sent Jin Li to Chang'an early this morning to give Cheng Yanjin a gift of 10,000 guan, he was in a good mood, although the loss of 10,000 guan was a bit painful, but he could get the support of the three major princes, how could it be compared to 10,000 guan.

Just when he was fanning his feather fan at home and basking in the sun on the recliner, Jin Li suddenly broke into the courtyard out of breath and shouted urgently: "Master Hou, it's not good, the shop you opened in Chang'an!" Something happened! ”

"Something?" As soon as Li Hao heard the word "accident", he hurriedly got up from the recliner, and suddenly remembered that this picture was so familiar, it seemed that every time he had an accident before, he was basking in the sun on the recliner, but it was Wang San who yelled and rushed in before, and this time it was replaced by Jinli, well, this recliner feng shui is not quite right, it should be changed.

After all, Li Hao is a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, and he did not show a panicked look, pointed at Jinli with a feather fan, and asked, "Which store has an accident?" What happened? ”

"Nishishi's Chicken Wishbone Shop!" Jin Li said, "Your chicken wishbone eats the dead!" ”

"What?" Li Hao was stunned when he heard this, and frowned, "How can a chicken wishbone eat a dead person?" Choking on bones? ”

"No, no, no......" Jin Li shook his head again and again, smoothed out his anger, and said in one breath, "The chicken wishbone is poisonous, and many people have been killed, and the Assassin Mansion and Dali Temple are alarmed, and Sun Fujia, the secretary of Dali Temple, personally dispatched to seal all your chicken wishbone shop, and also arrested all the people in the chicken wishbone shop in Xishi back to prison." ”

"Is this the case?" Li Hao frowned when he heard this, and secretly groaned, "The chicken wishbone is poisonous? Could it be that someone poisoned me and wanted to frame me, so to speak, eighty percent of it was done by Li Chengqian, this matter is tricky, the chicken wishbone shop in Xishi is run by Hu Laohan and his wife, they were arrested, but how ......can it be good?"

Jin Li suddenly asked at this time: "Master Hou, aren't you going to take a look?" ”

"Of course I want to check it out." Li Hao raised his head and said, "Prepare the horse and go to Chang'an." ”

Jin Li hurriedly went to prepare the horse, and then escorted Li Hao to Chang'an with the Blade Special Combat Team.

As soon as he walked out of the blue field boundary, he saw a hundred-person cavalry rushing in front of him, looking at the clothes, it was actually the official of Dali Temple, Li Hao was shocked when he saw this, and secretly shouted badly, it seems that Dali Temple came to arrest him, after all, the chicken wishbone shop is his industry, and now that something has happened, he must be responsible, as for whether it is the main responsibility or the secondary responsibility, take it back for interrogation first.

The two sides met and stopped, and Fan Zheng, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, looked at Li Hao and arched his hand: "It turned out to be the Marquis of Lantian County, what a coincidence." ”

Li Hao pretended to be confused and asked, "Your Excellency?" ”

Fan Zheng said: "I am Fan Zheng, the young secretary of Dali Temple, and I am ordered by Lord Fujiasun, the secretary of Dali Temple, to arrest you, this is the arrest text." As he spoke, he also highlighted the arrest.

Li Hao remained silent and asked calmly: "What crime did I commit?" ”

Fan Zhengdao: "Your Li's chicken wishbone shop sells food mixed with arsenic and highly poisonous, resulting in the poisoning of hundreds of people in Chang'an City, thirty-four people have died, and now more than 200 people are being treated, you are seriously suspected, Lord Sun must arrest you and bring you back to Dali Temple for trial." ”

Li Haodao nodded when he heard this: "This matter is quite strange, I am willing to go back with you and assist Dali Temple in investigating this case." ”

Fan Zheng thought that Li Hao would resist arrest, but he didn't expect him to cooperate so much, secretly happy, and spread his hands and said: "Then please ask Master Hou to dismount, put on the torture instrument and go back with us." ”

Li Hao turned his head to Jin Li and said, "You take someone back first, protect the Hou Mansion well, be careful." ”

"Yes." The leader of Jin Lijaw commanded.

Li Hao turned over and dismounted, walked in front of Fan Zheng, took the initiative to offer his hands, and the officials of Dali Temple put handcuffs on him, because Li Hao is currently only a suspect, not a criminal, so he is not wearing shackles.

Fan Zhenggang took Li Hao to Dali Temple and replied to Sun Fujia, Sun Fujia looked at Li Hao who was in handcuffs, and said with tight eyebrows: "By Your Majesty's holy decree, Li Hao will be handed over to the Criminal Department, and the three divisions will be tried on a later date." ”

Fan Zheng was stunned, this is at most a poisoning case, how can it be transferred to the Criminal Department, and the three divisions will be interrogated, he feels that his brain is a little insufficient, Li Hao was also stunned, Sun Fujia saw their doubts from their eyes, and explained: "Several concubines in the palace ate Li Hao's chicken wishbone and were also poisoned, and now they are all unconscious, the emperor was furious, and I happened to meet me to report the matter, and the emperor decreed that Li Hao would be handed over to the Criminal Department, and the three divisions would be tried." ”

"The poisonous chicken wishbones have all entered the palace? And the concubines were poisoned? Li Hao's heart sank suddenly, this time the matter was a bit big.

This thing is not a little big, it is very big, the concubines are poisoned, and there are several poisoning, a super-large black pot is just buckled on his head, and he can't shake it, Li Hao said that he was very aggrieved.

In fact, this is not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is Li Shimin's thoughts, Li Shimin will cherish his concubines, but the degree of cherishing is limited, what he cherishes the most is his own life, this time it is those concubines who eat chicken wishbones, if he is hungry and comes to half a catty, then now he has to wait for the Tai Doctor to treat, and he may not be able to save life.

This is Li Shimin's thoughts, in his opinion, Li Hao's crime this time is similar to killing the king, if he is a faint king, he doesn't need to say anything directly, give Li Haoan a charge of rebellion, raid the family and punish the nine clans, and everything will be fine.

Fortunately, he is Li Shimin, and fortunately, he values Li Hao's talent, and is willing to give Li Hao a chance to transfer Li Hao to the Criminal Department, and conduct a trial by the three divisions, and he must investigate this matter to the bottom of the matter, of course, if he can't find out the truth, he can only wronged Li Hao.
