Lay to win!Cannon fodder, he has become the chief assistant

Chapter 228 Poisoning
Xie Chunhua didn't want to care about it at first, but the problem is that her marriage is still in the hands of his wife. Even if she doesn't enter the palace, if the aunt is unhappy and marry her to a widower, then it will be acceptable.

But Xie Chunhua can think about these words, but he must never say them to outsiders.

Xie Rongzhao couldn't help with the Zui Xian Brewing matter, and Xie Chunhua had no choice. Anyway, she did as her aunt said, and left the rest to fate.

Mrs. Xie asked her to invite Xie Rongzhao over. Of course, she was not just thinking about Zuixian Brewing. She had already made plans.

From the beginning to the end, Mrs. Xie never showed her face, but she has already learned a general preference of Xie Rongzhao through the eyes and ears of the servants.

Two days later, Xie Rongzhao was doing embroidery work with his mother, when he looked up, he suddenly noticed that his mother's lips were turning purple, and felt a sense of panic for a moment.

"Auntie, don't move!"

Liu Ruolan didn't know what it meant, she looked at her and smiled, "What's wrong?"

Xie Rongzhao's expression was very surprised, "Come here, go and invite the doctor, hurry up!"

Xie Rongzhao called Grandma Gu in again, and they worked together to help Liu Ruolan lie down on the couch.

Liu Ruolan was startled by her actions: "What's wrong? Baby, I'm not feeling well, why do I need a doctor?"

"Aniang, don't talk yet." Xie Rongzhao turned his head and asked Gu Shi again: "Is my aunt's lip color wrong?"

Gu Shi observed carefully for a moment: "It seems to be a little purple, not as rosy as before."

Because Xie Xiuwen is not at home, and Liu Ruolan doesn't even go out, she doesn't put on makeup at home. She just applies some cream to nourish her skin after washing her face.

There is no lip balm on the lips, the color is obviously purple, and anyone who looks at it will realize that it is wrong.

Soon, the doctor was invited to check the pulse and prick his fingertips for blood. It was finally determined that the lady had been poisoned.

Xie Rongzhao was so shocked that his face turned pale: "Are you right? Is it really poisoning?"

"Exactly. It's just that the toxicity is still shallow, so it's easy to cure, but we have to find out what kind of poison it is."

After Xie Rongzhao gave orders, Gu Shi and Wang Zizhen acted very quickly. Those who worked in the kitchen, even a fire-burning girl, were called over for questioning.

The doctor inspected the snacks and tea in Liu Ruolan's room one by one, and finally confirmed that there was something wrong with a plate of snacks.

"This snack has added honey, and it should have added the stamen of the Dujuan flower. This thing is poisonous. Even ordinary bees will avoid the Dujuan flower when they collect honey. I can't imagine that someone is so scheming, and the Dujuan flower The stamens are mixed in this pastry, and the dosage is very small, if you use this pastry continuously, it will take about ten days for the poison to break out."

Xie Rongzhao was terrified, he never expected that someone had already reached into the inner courtyard of their house.

"Doctor, what about my mother now?"

"No problem. From my observation of the symptoms, I have probably eaten snacks for about two or three days. The poisoning is not deep."

Liu Ruolan was awake at this moment, and naturally heard all these words clearly.

She was extremely fortunate to have a good daughter, if it hadn't been for Guaibao who noticed that her lip color was different, she probably wouldn't have been able to detoxify so early.

A group of people were kneeling outside, Xie Rongzhao made sure that Liu Ruolan was fine, so he went outside for interrogation.

Although she is young, she has been following Xie Xiuwen and imitated the majesty of a sub-official in him.

"You guys are so tough-talking, I'm not in a hurry to punish you. This way, I'll give you a chance to make atonement. Whoever can expose someone, if verified by me, will not only not be punished, but will also be rewarded with another two taels of silver. If the merit is great enough, I can even return the deed of betrayal to you. How about that?"

Before Xie Xiuwen left Beijing, he had just obtained the official position of the fourth rank.

According to the rules of the Dazhi Dynasty, Xie Xiuwen now has 4000 shi of Lumi, 24 acres of land, and 32 and [-] guan of monthly miscellaneous, and the number of Li Ke has increased from the original [-] to the current [-] people.

Xie Rongzhao's first suspicion was naturally the eight people who entered the mansion later.

Among the eight people who entered the house later, six were guards and two servants.

In fact, generally speaking, the strength courses assigned by the imperial court are mainly young and middle-aged men, and some mansions will also give some benefits to the subordinate staff there and make some personal requests according to their actual situation.

Xie Rongzhao knew that his father would not make such an additional request, and his mother always felt that there were not many masters in the house, so there was no need to send more people, so the arrival of these two servants was already problematic.

Xie Rongzhao originally thought that the problem was with these two servants, but after careful interrogation, she realized that the reason why these two were assigned to Xie's house was Zhao Yue's tricks.

"Miss Rong, the slaves and maids were originally the family members of the criminal ministers. They were exiled in the frontier for several years. They didn't get the chance to return to their hometown until last year. It's just that the relatives of the slaves are unwilling to recognize us anymore, and even the children despise us. Old and weak, the two slaves were thinking of throwing themselves into the river, but at any rate, they came back and saw their relatives, and they were safe from death. They happened to be rescued by Shi Ziye's subordinates, so they were temporarily placed outside the city.

Half a month ago, the son of the world sent someone to look for the two slaves, saying that the life experience of the two slaves had been found out, and he pitied us for being old, and only said that he had prepared a way for us to support the elderly, so that the two slaves Entered the Xie mansion. "

Fang Hu submitted the relevant household registration certificates of the two in a timely manner.

These two are indeed slaves.

However, before they were convicted, both of them were prominent figures, and one of them even came out of the palace. If it weren't for the trouble caused by the betrothed husband's family, he wouldn't be living here.

Xie Rongzhao only felt that the matter seemed to be more difficult.

If it wasn't for them, he would be an old man who had worked in the mansion for several years.

It was hard for Xie Rongzhao to imagine that a person who had worked in the mansion for several years would actually do something against the master.

Fortunately, Xie Rongzhao had a very clever idea earlier, after some chatter, he really caught the person who poisoned him.

Fang Hu was also unambiguous, and went directly to check on her husband and son to see if there was a breakthrough.

But the woman didn't know anything, and repeatedly denied that she used Du Juanhua, and said that she was a servant, how could she have the opportunity to get in touch with such good things?
Xie Rongzhao's eyebrows twitched, if it wasn't for the inappropriate time, she really wanted to drag him into the yamen directly.

The man's residence has been searched, and a package of things was quickly found. After being confirmed by the doctor, it was indeed Du Juan medicinal powder. People are framed.

"Tie him up first, gag him, throw him in the firewood shed and lock him up, and wait until his mother is better."
