Rebirth of the poisonous concubine

Chapter 375 If there is a next time, kill him directly

Chapter 375 If there is a next time, kill him directly

"Whether you drugged or not, you are responsible for the kitchen, and something happened in the kitchen." Wan Qiu Leng Bangbang said, "You can't absolve yourself of the blame!"

Hu Dawei's face turned ashen, and he kowtowed to beg for mercy, "Miss, the villain confessed to the crime of negligence. It's all the villain's fault, but the villain really didn't prescribe the medicine..."

"No one knows whether you drugged me, but the key is in your hands, you are indeed the most suspicious candidate. I will give you a chance, and you will recall carefully now. You were in the back kitchen last night. Is there anyone watching over you?" Second, after the kitchen is locked, who will have the chance to get the key to unlock it..." Ye Muxi paused, her tone was cold, "If you can't think of anything, then I can only tell you about the laxative. , count it on your head."

As he said that, his eyes fell on those cooks again, "You all may be able to drug. If you can't think of anything useful, then sit down, everyone, everyone will be guilty."

"Miss, it's not fair... only one person took the medicine, and the others are innocent..." a cook cried out.

Ye Muxi pursed her lips slightly, "When did this lady say that I was a fair person? An accident in the kitchen almost ruined the affairs of the Hou Mansion. I didn't beat you all to death to vent my anger. It was already kind. Ling Wuhou Mansion Just kill a few innocent cooks, so what?"

As soon as these words came out, the cooks below were silent, trembling with fright, and never dared to say no in front of Ye Muxi again.

Everyone racked their brains to think who might prescribe the medicine.

"There were so many eyes in the kitchen last night, it's not that easy to pour medicine into the water tank..."

"Yes, everyone is here, and they are not blind..."

"Boss Hu, did you secretly go to the kitchen to prescribe medicine after the lock was locked..."

"Don't talk nonsense. Old Zhao and I drank a little wine and went straight back to sleep..."

At this moment, a cook raised his hand and said, "Miss, I woke up in the middle of the night to take a urinate last night, and saw Lao Zhao sneaking towards the kitchen... I didn't think much about it at the time, thinking that he was just going to steal something..."

The kitchen buys a lot of delicacies from mountains and seas, which can't be used up for the banquet, so steal some and sell them, which is what some cooks with dirty hands and feet often do.

"Don't talk nonsense! I got lost and went in the wrong direction when I came out for Xiaojie..." The cook named Lao Zhao hurriedly said angrily, "What's more, I don't have a kitchen key. Boss Hu, did you do it? You should be honest. Admit it, so as not to trouble everyone..."

Hu Dawei wanted to cry, "I fell asleep after drinking with you last night. It was you who carried me back. How can you say such a thing, old Zhao?"

"Who knows if you're pretending to be drunk! After I'm gone, you'll go to the kitchen to prescribe medicine...I said you're taking advantage of others, right?" Old Zhao said with a stiff neck.

"That's right, Boss Hu is the only one who has the key... what does it have to do with us, we are innocent..."

Ye Muxi looked at this scene, her lips were slightly raised. The cooks were worried that they would implicate themselves, so they really said everything.

"Take him down." Ye Muxi pointed to the cook named Lao Zhao.

Old Zhao quickly said, "Miss, I'm innocent! It's not me who gave the medicine!"

"Drag it on, and reward him with twenty boards." Ye Muxi said lightly.

The two soldiers took Lao Zhao out easily like catching a chicken. After a while, there were ghosts crying and howling begging for mercy.

"Miss, that coward has just hit the three boards!" Ye Da said contemptuously.

Ye Muxi couldn't help laughing, with the strength of you two southern barbarians, one board is worth five boards, who can hold it.

"Bring it up..."

As soon as he came up, Old Zhao burst into tears and said, "Miss, please forgive me, I'll do it! I did it! I got Hu Dawei drunk, touched his pocket, got the key, and secretly prescribed medicine..."

"Who bought you?"

Old Zhao spoke intermittently in pain, but he still didn't dare to neglect, and said hastily, "No... I don't know... The villain is deceived by money, miss, please forgive me!"

"Where's the money?" Ye Muxi asked.

Trembling, Old Zhao took out a purse from his pocket, "It's all here...Miss, please spare me..."

Wan Qiu picked up the money bag and handed it to Ye Muxi.

Ye Muxi opened it and saw that there were a total of 1000 taels of silver.There is nothing special about the bank notes, just the bank notes from ordinary banks.

Picking up the bank note and sniffing it lightly, there was a faint smell of spices, the precious spice that the daughter of Jingzhong Xungui often used - Ningzhixiang.

Liu Zisang.

Ye Muxi waved lightly, "Send him to the yamen and punish him for murdering the master's family."

"Yes." Wan Qiu blessed himself.

Old Zhao hurriedly cried, "Miss, please forgive me...Miss, please forgive me..."

Murdering the master's family is a capital offense.

Ye Muxi's treatment of Lao Zhao scared Hu Dawei and the others to pale and kept silent.Oh my god, the eldest lady acted so cruelly, Lao Zhao was killed, will they also be imprisoned...

"Hu Dawei, something happened in the kitchen. You are guilty of negligence. You will be dismissed from the post of steward from now on. In view of your loyalty to the Hou Mansion, you will only be fined half a year's wages. People reward 20 taels of silver." Ye Muxi said.

"Thank you, miss!" All the cooks were about to cry in fright, when they heard Youshang kowtow excitedly.

Hu Dawei almost thought he was doomed, his back was covered in cold sweat, "The villain, Miss Xie, forgive me."

Ye Muxi has appointed Ming Hua's mother as the kitchen steward. In the future, she will report to Lin Mingyu on all matters in the kitchen to strengthen management.

And with Ye Muxi's swift and resolute actions today, the servants of Lingwuhou's mansion will touch the head on their necks if they want to be bribed again.

"My sister, the firecrackers have been investigated." Ye Qingyao came in and reported, "After investigation, it was Wu's firecracker shop in the capital that sold us the firecrackers, and the Wu family members had already run away overnight...in the Hou's mansion The steward in charge of the firecracker inspection has also been taken down, and he admitted after a few boards. This is the steward Zheng Wang..."

When Zheng Wang was brought in, when he saw Ye Muxi, he knelt down, "Miss, please forgive me! I really don't know that the surname Wu is going to murder you adults. He just said that the craftsmanship of these firecrackers is a bit poor. Let me open my eyes." Turning a blind eye, the villain didn't check it...I really didn't expect...Miss, please spare me!"

Ye Muxi glanced at him indifferently, and filled her own pockets with impunity, which almost made Ling Wuhou's mansion offend the honorable officials.

Ye Muxi's wages for the stewards are not low, but this kind of people are open to money and will not be tolerated.

"Remove Zheng Wang from the position of steward, procrastinate, chop off his hands. Sell Zheng Wang's family to the dentist." Ye Muxi said lightly.

Zheng Wang's face turned pale, "Miss, the villain is just confused for a moment, please let me go... let the villain's family..."

Zheng Wang's family is all dead.Not to mention that Ye Muxi sold them, even if they were beaten to death, the government would not care.

"The Hou Mansion bought you back and gave you a place to live and live. The wages given are placed in the noble family, which is also very good. But some people betrayed the master's house for a little money. Lingwuhou Mansion will never forgive you lightly. In the future, if someone is like Zheng Wang, I won't be so open-minded and beat him to death directly." Ye Muxi said lightly.

Zheng Wang was so frightened by these words that he didn't dare to say the words of begging for mercy, and kowtowed, "Thank you, Miss, for saving the villain's life! Thank you, Miss!"
