Prosperous Concubine

Chapter 493: Poisoning Students (3)
Most of the students in the academy are the sons of nobles in the capital, and they have a huge family behind them. Being able to take them in for their own use is equivalent to getting their family to help them. The examiners are deep, and they are like this, which makes people worry.

A dark light flickered in Xiao Tianling's deep eyes: "The students in the capital city are powerful, so naturally they must be reused." When they are reused, set up several layers of vigilance against them, so as not to be afraid of their betrayal.

Xu Wenhao has seen Xiao Tianling's ability a long time ago. If he dares to reuse his students, he can control them. He doesn't have to worry at all: "How is the prince's condition?"

"I heard that I can get out of bed." Xiao Tianling has been busy with the test and has no time to pay attention to other things. The imperial doctor diagnosed Xiao Tianjun to recover in half a month. It has been ten days, and his condition should be almost recovered.

"The results of the general examination have been released, and the imperial examination will be held in three days. The crown prince's illness has recovered, and he can't do much with the imperial examination. His illness has made you a success." Xu Wenhao looked at Xiao Tianling and smiled meaningfully.

When Tianling was in charge of the examination, he was easy-going and fair. The students supported him very much. After entering the court, they would also respect Tianling very much. Tianling easily received talented people from all over the country...

"Maybe it's because his luck is relatively bad recently, and mine is better." Xiao Tianling said in a low voice, with a hint of inscrutability floating in his eyes.

"Come here, help, someone is dead at Yunlai Inn..." A shrill scream pierced through the clouds and resounded through the sky, shocking countless people.

Xiao Tianling's eyes were fixed: "Yunlai Inn is the inn with the most students, how could someone die suddenly?"

Xu Wenhao stared down from the wide open window. A pedestrian stood in front of the Yunlai Inn, blocking his view. He couldn't see the specific situation, so he said casually: "It may be that the students don't like each other, and they fight Someone is dead."

"They're all dead, they're all dead... help..." A man fell out of the Yunlai Inn with a face full of horror.

Xiao Tianling put down his wine glass, his eyes were covered with seriousness: "It's not that simple, I'll go down and take a look." With a light tap on his toes, his slender figure jumped down from the window and landed lightly in front of Yunlai Inn, leaving everyone behind , strode in.

The hall was in a mess, all the diners at the top ten tables fell to the ground, their faces were blue and purple, bleeding from seven holes, and their faces were grim because of the pain. Some of them were dressed in luxurious clothes, and some of them were plainly dressed, but they all had one thing in common, that is, Candidates who take the imperial examination.

"What's going on here?" Xu Wenhao followed into the inn, looked at the students who were bleeding from seven holes, and was stunned. Familiar faces were reflected in his pupils, and he shouted in surprise: "That one is for the exam No. 9... and No. 7, No. 6... No. 3 Tanhua is also here... No. 1 champion is also poisoned..."

'Wow! Xu Wenhao's words were interrupted by a clear voice. He looked around and saw a student lying on the ground, huddled in pain, with black blood continuously gushing from his nose and mouth.

"You are... Lin Mo!" Xiao Tianling looked at his tough eyes, recognized his identity, and was about to order someone to take him to the medical clinic, when more than ten officials came in with four or five doctors.

Seeing Xiao Tianling, officials and doctors were about to salute, Xiao Tianling waved his hand to stop them: "Hurry up and save the poisoned student."

"Yes!" The doctors quickly checked the poison status of the students.

The officials are in charge of questioning: "The shopkeeper, you are a good student, why are you all poisoned?"

The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man in his 40s, with two beards on his lips, and his not very upright body is almost shaking into chaff: "Grass... Caomin don't know what's going on, the food is freshly made, eat it in the morning It’s fine, why are you poisoned after eating it now…”

"You really don't know?" The officer squinted at him, not quite believing his words.

"Returning to the official, Caomin just prepared meals for the students according to their requirements. I really don't know why they got poisoned!" It's safe and sound, why did such a big thing suddenly happen...

Xiao Tianling's sharp eyes swept over the students, and then fell on the busy doctor, and said in a low voice, "Doctor, what kind of poison is in them?"

"Back to the third prince, it's three steps!" An old doctor stood up and replied respectfully.

"Three steps down?" Xiao Tianling raised his eyebrows: "What kind of poison is that?"

"It's rat poison." The old doctor patiently explained: "It's a very powerful poison. If a rat eats it, it will die within three steps!"

Xiao Tianling's eyes froze: "The students..."

The doctor pointed to four or five people including Lin Mo: "Except for them, they are all dead!"

A sharp and cold light flashed in Xiao Tianling's eyes. No. 1, No. 3, No. 4... are all the pillars of the country, and they are also talents he wants to recruit. The list of candidates has just come out. Was he poisoned to death in the inn without passing the palace test, was it accidental, or was someone against him on purpose?
Poisoning a well-known student on the list, but it was a shocking case, the person who did it was really daring: "Where is the poison?"

"Back to the third prince, there is poison in the food and soup, but not in the wine!" The doctor carefully checked the food on the table, and clearly reported the result.

Xiao Tianling looked at the shopkeeper: "How dare you say that the poisoning of the students has nothing to do with you?" The calm voice was without any emotion, but Xu Wenhao knew that this was a precursor to his anger.

The shopkeeper's face was pale and bloodless, and he stammered: "This... the dishes and soup are all made by the cook, Cao Min is the shopkeeper, and he is only responsible for keeping accounts and settling accounts. There is nothing to do in the kitchen... "

As soon as the words were finished, two officials came out of the back hall carrying a dead body: "Third Prince, I found a dead body in the kitchen."

The shopkeeper looked at the fat man with a dark face, and shouted in surprise: "He is the cook of Caomin."

The cook was bleeding from seven holes and his face was grim, exactly the same as the death of the students.

Xiao Tianling raised his eyebrows slightly: Was he accidentally poisoned, or was he silenced?

"Shizi Xiao, Princess Yutang." After the polite address was heard, the guards at the door automatically moved to the two sides, and Xiao Qingyu and Mu Yutang walked in side by side.

Looking at the dead bodies with ferocious faces, Mu Yutang's cold eyes flickered darkly, unexpectedly poisoning so many people to death, the real culprit was really ruthless.

Xiao Tianling looked at Xiao Qingyu, and said coldly: "Why did Shizi Xiao come here?"

"The students of the academy died for no reason. As the person in charge of Mengyao Academy, I naturally have to come and see what happened." Xiao Qingyu said indifferently, his deep eyes swept over the dead students, and looked at the doctors who saved them: "How did they How is it?"
