I want to be a good minister

Chapter 7
On the second day, the sea was calm and the sea was endless. The sea water that was muddy by a violent storm predicted by Cen Xi two days ago was completely clear.

The sound of "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo up".

Cen Xi took back the temperature data of the first day, put down the second measurement, and passed by the kitchen cabin. Although the food supplies on the main ship were all people who showed their faces, there were quite a few people who showed their faces, so the kitchen cabin The place is in full swing, with staggered figures, busy and orderly.

"I'm here to help—" There are some poor people in this kitchen cabin, because of the smooth flow, Cen Xi's three or two sentences have become heated, and Cen Xi's hospitality at this time is naturally to inquire about news.

The destination of this voyage is Dajing, and it is not difficult to find out that the three-yearly pilgrimage to Dajing will be in March.But Cen Xi's knowledge about their dignified and elegant Crown Prince is extremely lacking.

"Thank you, Mrs. Cen's family—" Who would be unhappy if someone helps, and there is an extra woman in the kitchen full of men, not to mention helping, even standing still is very welcome.

Shun Shui immediately blocked all eyes looking at Cen Xi, threw a fish on the chopping board, and signaled Cen Xi to chop the fish.Why Cen Xi got on the boat, he didn't know, but he agreed to build a good relationship with this group of people.

With a sound of "snap!", Cen Xi rolled up his sleeves high, looked at the fish on the chopping board, cut the fish in front of him with a knife and cut it into two halves, his face twitched. Can't pull it out from the board.Immediately, Cen Xi moved the chopping board to the ground, stepped on the chopping board and began to draw his knife.

"Crash!" Another basket of fish was dumped on the ground, Cen Xi turned around, and the young man who was carrying the basket shouted excitedly.

"Don't wash it, don't wash it, help us carry the fish first, it's really strange, it's the first time I saw so many lively fish floating on the surface of the water, I thought yesterday was lucky, I picked up the fish for nothing, Today, even more suddenly floated—" Seeing the fish being washed like this for the first time, the corner of the young man's mouth twitched, but his pure nature didn't make him make more comments, and he shouted at Cen Xi.

I saw that many people had already surrounded the side of the boat, and the kitchen workers were even more diligently fishing for the net, and there were constant discussions.

On the surface of the sea, the sea surface of [-] meters in front was covered with white flowers, and the fish in the water were constantly tumbling. Cen Xi approached the side of the boat and took a closer look. Could it be that these fish are lack of oxygen, but the weather is good, and the nutrients in the water ...

Before he had time to think deeply, his arm was already pulled by someone.

The control on this ship is too strict, Cen Xi can't just stand around and do nothing.

Cen Xi squatted down and began to pick up fish, thinking about the temperature data in his hand, but the temperature was actually not that high, he frowned slightly.

"Let me do it." Shun Shui hugged the frame and helped Cen Xi start loading the fish, "Did you hear that? This ship is going to Dajing to worship the saint, but in my opinion, you Better than that saint." Mother said, don't be too stupid, didn't Uncle Qi say that women like to hear these words.

"Saint? Which saint?" Cen Xi was taken aback. She was only thinking about the data. There was no problem with the latitude, longitude and temperature. Seeing Shun Shui staring at her, Cen Xi asked, vaguely remembering the Mazu worshiped in the South China Sea.

"It's the saint of the Great Jing Kingdom, omnipotent, the daughter of heaven." But this is not the point.

"Oh." Cen Xi nodded. It was another version of Mazu. She had the impression that the pilgrimage to the Dajing Kingdom also began with the birth of a saint.

Cen Xi spends a lot of time in the kitchen, but found very little. He only knows that His Royal Highness is very good-natured, but not a troublemaker. He is unknown, and his achievements are very pitiful. The third prince's political achievements were obvious, and he could only sigh silently.

"Wow--" Cen Xi was about to leave the kitchen when he heard the footsteps of officers and soldiers rushing in. Dozens of people stepped in, enclosing the entire kitchen so tight that not even a fly could fly out.

"Take down all the people in the kitchen cabin—" With a stern voice, the crowd immediately exploded. These servants have never seen such a formation before, half of them were frightened, and many people wanted to ask, But he was blocked back by the officers and soldiers with ferocious expressions.

Shun Shui managed to get to Cen Xi's side, and protected Cen Xi behind his back, only hearing the low voices of anxiety and panic around him.

"What happened? What the hell happened here?"

"Yicheng, come with me—" Hearing the elder Ge's voice, Master Shu immediately turned around, and following the figures of several people, it was His Royal Highness's bedroom.

"The imperial doctor said it was poisoning, but what kind of poison has not been found out. All the idlers in the kitchen have been locked up and checked one by one." In the first sleeping hall on the cabin, a group of guards have been surrounded layer by layer. His Highness's entourage, Su Chi, picked away some suspicious items from the kitchen in front of him, trying to find some clues.

"I heard that it was poisoned. His Royal Highness, as well as several soldiers on board, were poisoned." Waiting outside the sleeping hall, they were all close friends who followed His Royal Highness. Hearing the two personal guards say so, they all died. He was shocked, he had only been out to sea for two days, and the people of the second and third princes came so quickly?
The personal guard Su Chi flipped through yesterday's food box, trying to find clues.

Another personal guard, Yuan Xu, looked slightly cold. He was already very cautious this time. Could it be that these people were still allowed to sneak into the boat?

Su Chi and Yuan Xu are the personal guards of His Highness the Crown Prince, their expressions are serious now, and everyone's heart sank, it seems that the situation is very bad.

Now I don't know what kind of poison it is, and because His Royal Highness is in a coma at this time, the imperial doctor dare not act rashly.

Ge Lao and the others were at a loss, but heard the sound of quick steps from outside the cabin. The Ge Lao and the others who were waiting outside the sleeping hall immediately turned their heads. The person who came was probably similar to Yuan Xu in appearance, and it was the leader of the imperial guard in iron armor— — Yuan Zhen.

"Bring people up—" Before everyone could speak, Yuan Zhen turned around, and then several guards escorted several people into the room, including Cen Xi.

"My lords, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ill now. Those who can make decisions are present. These people are the most suspicious people today." Everyone's eyes had already focused on the five people who were tied up and brought here in the house.

Cen Xi is not from the kitchen cabin, because he is in the kitchen cabin, so he is suspicious, and the other four people are not very innocent because of their identities.

"Brave man, don't kneel down yet—" the guard sneered coldly.

Cen Xi's mind was spinning rapidly, the current situation seems to be very serious, otherwise so many high officials would not have gathered here.

"Elder Ge, Lord Cheng, Lord Gu, Lord Shu, now only by torture one by one can we find clues—" Yuan Zhen looked at the crowd, and Lord Shu glanced at a familiar figure among the kidnapped people, But it's about His Royal Highness, so I can't speak.

Cen Xi's heart froze, if he can't find out, he will be tortured?The situation was more serious than she had imagined. These people seemed anxious to find out what?
Cen Xi's gaze was in vain fixed on the opened food on the side table, and a flash of light flashed across his mind.

"Come here—" Yuan Zhen's voice was as cold as ice, and several guards had already stepped forward. Seeing that the long sword in their hands was about to fall, Cen Xi could only bite the bullet and roar.

"Wait a minute, my lords, but someone has been poisoned?" Cen Xi's voice was like a bomb falling in the cabin, the news of the poisoning was kept secret, how did this woman know?
Everyone's eyes deepened, and they looked at the woman in green on the ground.
