Chapter 115: Poisoned and Died
After looking around, Li Yu's eyes finally froze at a restaurant called 'Zuixianlou' not far away, and said, "This restaurant looks good, let's go there for lunch."
The other three naturally had no objection.
So the four of them stepped into the Zuixian Tower.
Instead of choosing a private room, I sat down in the front hall.
Li Yu knew the tastes of Li Changfeng and Li Hongxiu, but it is unknown what flavors Niu Da likes.
So Li Yu asked, "Niu Da, do you have any requirements for taste?"
Niu Da hurriedly said, "Sir, I have no requirements for taste."
I couldn't help but respect Li Yu, the magistrate, even when I had to ask him about his taste when I had eaten, it was enough to show that he was respectful to him. It was not just a subordinate who was driven by him at will, but many times better than the county magistrate Lu who was so tired.
I ordered five dishes and one soup, three meat dishes and two vegetarian dishes.
In a short while, all the dishes ordered were served.
With Li Yu's "start" sound, Li Hongxiu almost couldn't wait to pick up a piece of mutton and ate it happily.
"Two Censors, you are here."
At this moment, a word rang out in his ears. Li Yu's movement of picking up food was slightly paused, and he subconsciously looked at the sound.
However, the two young men stepped into the Zuixian Tower, and the waiter hurriedly met.
Obviously, these two young men are regular customers here, because looking at the waiter's expression, they obviously knew them.
And, after hearing the waiter's name for these two people, Lord Censor...
The censor is a relatively special official position, specializing in supervising court officials and has the power to impeach any official in the court. Even if it is just a ninth-rank censor, he can go to the morning court.
I saw the waiter said, "The two censors, the location is still empty now."
One of the young men lightly lit his head and then said to the waiter: "It's still the same dish."
The waiter said: "Okay!"
Without the waiter's guidance, the two of them came to the table near the window with great familiarity and sat down.
It is worth mentioning that this table is adjacent to Li Yu's table.
Li Yu picked up a piece of vegetable, put it in a bowl, and ate it with rice.
"It's been a long time since I've been going on for such a long morning, from morning to noon."
"Yes, Brother Zhang, I'm dissatisfied with you. When I was in the Golden Palace, I was already hungry. Fortunately, I was so proud that I didn't scream, otherwise..."
"Or Brother Qin, you will be miserable. You will be embarrassed, haha..."
“Haha…yeah.”
“…”
"What do you think about this matter, Brother Zhang?"
"Our opinion is not important, it mainly depends on His Majesty's thoughts."
"Yes, I just don't know what Your Majesty thinks. Today's morning court has never expressed his attitude towards this matter."
The two of them could speak very quietly, thinking that they would not reach other tables.
Of course, if the table next door was an ordinary person, he would not have heard clearly what the two were discussing, but now the table next door is not ordinary people except Niu Da.
Li Changfeng and Li Hongxiu are experts in internal strength. Since Li Yu cultivated his own qi, his vision and hearing have been significantly improved.
Therefore, the words of these two people fell into the ears of the three people without a word.
Li Changfeng and Li Hongxiu didn't care because they had nothing to do with them, but Li Yu was stunned when he heard this.
Judging from the words of the two, the current Zhou Emperor presided over the morning court in the Golden Palace this morning, and the morning court lasted until noon, but Zhou Ning'er appeared in Xiwang Lake at the end of Si...
Could his previous guess be wrong?
That Zhou Ning'er is not the current Zhou Emperor?
Then this week Ning'er is...
At this point, Li Yu's brows frowned slightly.
"Hey, do you eat this piece of mutton? If you don't eat it, give it to me."
At this time, Li Hongxiu's words interrupted Li Yu's thoughts.
However, Li Yu held the last piece of mutton on the plate and didn't hold it up for a long time.
After picking up this piece of mutton with all its colors, fragrance and flavor, Li Yu didn't hesitate and got up slightly and put the mutton in Li Hongxiu's bowl.
...
After returning to the county government office, Li Yu found Cheng Deng and asked him to take his people to investigate whether there was a carriage entering and leaving the road behind that alley yesterday.
The reason why Cheng Deng was asked to handle this is because Cheng Deng was obviously good at this kind of investigation.
This happened before the beginning of the next day.
Yesterday, a total of two carriages were entering and leaving that road.
The first one belongs to an official. The official lives near the alley and basically crosses that road at a fixed time every day. Suspicion can basically be removed.
The second one is a young man named Liu Huan. Liu Huan is a idle person who does not work for childbirth. His family is not wealthy and he cannot have a carriage. Therefore, it is very suspicious.
On that day, Li Yu took Cheng Deng and several others to Liu Huan's home.
only......
I knocked on the door a lot, but there was no reaction inside.
Li Yu's face changed slightly, and he realized something, and hurriedly said: "Cheng Deng!"
Knowing what his lord meant, Cheng Deng raised his right foot and kicked the door without saying a word. The not very solid door fell down.
Immediately afterwards, several people quickly stepped in.
......
Three people fell next to a dining table, one was Liu Huan, and the other two were obviously Liu Huan's parents.
There were leftovers of rice and dishes at the corners of the mouths of the three of them, and there were dishes that were knocked down next to them, and there were dishes that were only half eaten on the dining table.
It is obvious that someone poisoned these dishes without knowing it. After eating them, Liu Huan's family died.
When you get closer and smell it, you can smell the dishes on the table that are already smelling bad.
Combined with the current weather conditions and the dishes, it is not difficult to guess that this should have happened at the dinner the day before yesterday.
should......
This should have happened the day before yesterday.
Sun Li'er was knocked out and robbed in that alley. Then, the person who robbed Sun Li'er stuffed Sun Li'er into the carriage waiting on the road behind the alley, and then Liu Huan drove the carriage away from the alley.
After completing these, perhaps it was to keep it confidential so that others could not follow the clues and check their heads, or for some other reason, they wanted to kill Liu Huan.
So, that night, he poisoned the food quietly, and Liu Huan's parents were innocently implicated.
only......
If his guess is true, Liu Huan's door has been closed the night before yesterday, and no one has come in and out. Did the neighbors on both sides notice it? Do you have no doubts about it?
