Chapter 274 Du Kangquan Complains

Zhou Huaijin and others were afraid of Shen Hao's strength and never took the initiative to find trouble. Shen Hao and Zhou Sizheng also established a foothold in the Imperial College.

The days passed by inadvertently, and it was early February in a blink of an eye.

There was not much progress at Xiao Yichen's place, and there was no news from Liu Erhu. After Lin Xue gave the 80,000 taels of silver notes to Tianji Pavilion, he calmly waited at home for the good news from Tianji Pavilion.

Shen Jia and Bai Kou, who had a rare leisure time, were drinking tea in the pavilion.

The secret guard protecting Du Kangquan hurried back: "Princess, something happened."

Shen Jia poured him a cup of tea: "Drink some tea first, sit down and talk slowly."

It turned out that the secret guard picked up the teacup and drank the tea in one gulp: "The prince Pingguo is dead, and Pingguo wants to kill Du Kangquan. Du Kangquan just went to Dali Temple to report the crime."

Shen Jia sat up straight in an instant, "Tell me carefully what's going on."

After Du Kangquan returned from Zuixian Tower that day, he repeatedly threatened them with what they had done to anger them.

Duke Ping and others had murderous intentions towards him. Prince Ping and the Wei family put poison in the food, but Du Kangquan could easily avoid it every time.

After Du Kangquan returned to Pingguo Duke's Mansion, everyone had dinner together only on the day he returned. Later, I ate alone in my own yard.

Du Kangquan had secret guards to help him, so he naturally saw their plans clearly.

He wanted to find the most suitable opportunity to inherit Duke Ping's palace before he was willing to take the bait.

As expected, he was waiting for it.

Duke Ping and others couldn't bear it anymore and decided to kill him again.

This time, Duke Ping decided to hold a family dinner, and Du Kangquan was naturally there.

Du Kangquan knew that this was the Hongmen Banquet, so he took antidote pills beforehand. The food on the dinner table was all served by him and others.

When a maid came forward to pour them wine, Du Kangquan saw that the wine pot was the mandarin duck pot that Shen Jia had mentioned, so he had the savvy to exchange his wine with that of Prince Ping next to him.

Prince Ping said touchingly that he was sorry for letting him live outside, and then drank the wine in one gulp.

In an instant, Prince Ping died with black blood flowing from his seven orifices.

This scene frightened Duke Ping, his wife and Mengshi so much that they turned pale and screamed loudly.

Duke Ping Guo was indeed a man who was used to seeing trouble. He quickly reacted and asked his family's servants and guards to surround Du Kang and beat him to death.

Du Kangquan had been prepared a long time ago. With the help of the secret guards, he rode out of the Pingguo Duke's mansion as fast as possible.

Then he went straight to Dali Temple, wanting to accuse Meng of poisoning people.

After hearing this, Shen Jia asked, "What kind of poison is that? Have all the evidence for Du Kangquan been collected?"

The secret guard nodded: "It was Montessori's nanny who went to a small medical clinic to buy the arsenic, and it was all controlled. The mandarin duck pot was also bought by Montessori's maid."

"Let's go to Dali Temple and have a look." Shen Jia stood up and said.

When Shen Jia arrived at the Dali Temple Yamen Hall, it was already crowded with people. Looking at this group of dark people, Shen Jia's head was full of black lines. Sure enough, it is human nature to like gossip.

She took out a ten-tael silver note and said, "Whoever lets me in will get this banknote."

'Oh! 'You can still make money by watching the gossip! This money must be earned! If you don't make such easy money, you're a bastard.

Several people gave way instantly.

"You guys can share these ten taels of silver notes." Shen Jia gave the silver notes to one of the middle-aged women. When those people saw that Shen Jia really gave them the money, they didn't even read the gossip and left happily.

In the lobby, headed by the Minister of Dali Temple, Du Kangquan had already stood up, Meng was kneeling on the ground, and no Duke Ping and his wife were seen.

Obviously Du Kangquan has already explained the whole story clearly.

The minister of Dali Temple was shocked and said, "Meng, Du Kangquan accused you of poisoning for wealth and death, do you admit it or not?"

Meng's eyes were scarlet and he shook his head violently: "Sir, I deny it." Then he pointed at Du Kangquan and said: "He killed my husband."

"Master Du, you said that you have evidence that Mengshi wanted to poison you, and Prince Ping died because he drank the wrong poisonous wine that Mengshi prepared for you?"

"Yes, the witness has been controlled by the grassroots people."

"Call the witness."

Montessori's heart was pounding, and he was extremely nervous. He kept comforting himself, no, no, that beast wouldn't find out.

When she saw her nanny, personal maid, a doctor, and the maid pouring wine entering the court, her pupils shrank and she gestured to her nanny.

This beast had already prepared to return to Duke Ping's mansion. Perhaps he had been waiting for this day. They all underestimated him.

"Who is in the hall?"

"Doctor from Cao Min Huimin Medical Center."

“Tell me what you know.”

"A few days ago, this old woman came to my medical clinic and said that there were a lot of mice in her house and she wanted to buy arsenic to treat the mice..."

"This slave is the nanny of the prince's wife, Duke Pingguo. I couldn't stand the fact that Du Kangquan, an actor, humiliated my wife every day, so I bought arsenic to poison him because of a bad idea. Who knew that the prince drank that cup by mistake? The poisoned wine is my fault, and I plead guilty..."

"This slave is the eldest maid of the Duke of Pingguo. It was grandma who asked me to pour poisoned wine to the eldest son in a mandarin duck pot..."

The crowd of people watching suddenly started talking in low voices.

"How can a servant have the courage to murder his master? This matter was clearly ordered by the vicious woman Wei."

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the problem is that this old woman has taken everything on herself."

"Alas! This eldest son is also pitiful. Every stepmother has a stepfather. It can be seen that his father is not a good one, otherwise he would not have let this poisonous woman poison him several times. He deserves to be poisoned to death."

"Yes, any father who truly loves his son will care for his son even if his son finally returns home after wandering outside for so many years."

Shen Jia frowned slightly. Meng's nanny took the blame on her, but Meng's crime was much smaller.

If Meng could not be crucified, Du Kangquan might not be able to successfully obtain the Pingguo Palace. After all, Meng's son was also his legitimate son. Duke Ping could pass the title to Meng's son. Even if the emperor deliberately favored Du Kangquan, the effect might not be satisfactory.

Just as Shen Jia was thinking hard, a crisp voice sounded from outside: "This slave can prove that the poison was bought by Mengshi instructing the old woman."

Montessori looked at the visitor with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Who is in the hall?"

"This slave is another personal maid of the Meng clan."

"Tell me everything you know."

"Yes." The maid told them one by one how Mengshi ordered the nanny to buy poison and how to poison it.

"You are talking nonsense. I did not instruct my nanny to poison people. I suspect that you and Du Kangquan are colluding together to try to frame me. Please investigate clearly. This matter has nothing to do with me. It was all nanny who poisoned people on her own initiative." Meng's brain reacted very quickly and immediately tied the maid and Du Kang together.
