In the backyard of Qi Mansion, Mr. Qi had just rushed home and before his buttocks got hot, Zhao Teng led someone in.
Seeing Zhao Teng coming so quickly, Mr. Qi seemed to be giving him no face at all. He said with a cold face: "Mr. Zhao, you came here so quickly, didn't you even have breakfast?"
Zhao Teng smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Compared with solving your Majesty's problems, skipping a meal is not a big deal."
"If Mr. Qi can understand me, you might as well buy a pair of bowls and chopsticks and make a living here."
Mr. Qi frowned, "Zhao Teng, if you check me and sue me, you still want to eat me and drink me. Humph, I have learned bad things from following Huai Guzi."
If I refuse, it will appear that I am too stingy. Dr. Qin, a great scholar of the generation, can still afford to treat me to breakfast.
Master Qi ordered him to go down. After a while, the servant brought out two bowls of corn porridge and two small plates of pickles.
Master Qi nodded and started drinking. After a while, I looked up and saw Zhao Teng looking left and right but not moving his chopsticks.
Lord Qi asked: "Why don't Lord Zhao eat?"
Zhao Teng asked doubtfully: "Is the food ready?"
Master Qi nodded.
Zhao Teng was shocked. This was too shabby. In such a big Qi Mansion, breakfast only had rice porridge and pickles, not even steamed buns?
I thought that even if the breakfast in Qi Mansion was not sumptuous, at least it would not be so pitiful.
Zhao Teng looked at Mr. Qi and saw that his drink was sweet, and he even suspected that he was pretending to himself, deliberately eating light food to appear aloof.
Mr. Qi is so thoughtful. No wonder his housekeeper is so exhausted. He is so stressed out trying to figure out what Mr. Qi means every day.
Zhao Teng looked at the food in front of him. He had to eat it if he didn't want to, so as not to be caught by Mr. Qi.
Zhao Teng took a sip and almost spit it out, shouting: "Why is this porridge so bitter?"
Mr. Qi suppressed his laughter because he made you have to have breakfast at my house, which made me have to eat pickles and porridge. It is right for you to suffer a little bit.
Mr. Qi glanced at Zhao Teng, who had a painful look on his face, and said, "Mr. Zhao, you don't know something. The seasons have changed recently and the climate has been dry, so I recently asked my family to put some gall in the food."
"The first time is to go away the anger, and the second time is to recall the bitterness and remember the sweetness. Today's life is hard-earned, so we must be grateful."
Zhao Teng drank so much that he felt like vomiting, but he couldn't vomit, so he swallowed it with force.
Sir Qi smiled at Zhao Teng's uncomfortable look: "Master Zhao is indeed a soldier. When I first drank this porridge, I could only take a small sip, but it was miserable. Sir, you are indeed several times stronger than me."
"In that case, come and serve the remaining millet porridge to Mr. Zhao."
Zhao Teng quickly waved his hand, indicating that it was no longer needed.
Mr. Qi finished it quickly. In fact, his porridge did not add gall, but added some sucrose. The taste was sweet and very delicious.
Zhao Teng looked at Master Qi looking at him happily. Zhao Teng was very sure that this bitter porridge was aimed at him.
If he doesn't drink the remaining half of the bowl, Master Qi will probably go to His Majesty to accuse himself of being greedy for extravagance and not being thrifty. He has no choice but to drink it.
Long-term suffering is worse than short-term suffering. Zhao Teng drank the remaining half of the bowl of porridge in one breath and covered his mouth to prevent himself from spitting out.
After he had swallowed it all, Zhao Teng quickly drank water to smooth it down, but his mouth was still filled with unpleasant bitter water.
After Zhao Teng finished eating, he said: "Master Qi, Your Majesty is still waiting for the results. Let's start as soon as possible."
Mr. Qi has actually looked away. After all, this time is different from the time when he pretended to be a ghost. That time was a helpless move to protect his child.
But this time, Butler Wang's death had nothing to do with him. He even wanted to know what happened to Butler Wang.
Master Qi did not stop him and let Zhao Teng do what he wanted.
When Zhao Teng was interrogating Xiao Lezi, the trusted butler, Li Shui and others walked in.
Li Shui saw Zhao Teng asking questions while holding a water bottle and taking a sip from time to time. It was very interesting.
Li Shui walked up and asked, "Brother Zhao, are you thirsty? Or does the water in Qi Mansion taste good? Why are you still holding a kettle?"
Zhao Teng curled his lips and said, "Without him, I was so excited about breakfast that I caught myself."
Li Shui said: "Brother Zhao, did you eat at Qi's house?"
Zhao Teng nodded reluctantly.
Li Shui and Li Xin looked at each other and smiled. Li Shui stepped forward, patted Zhao Teng on the shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "Brother Zhao, I'm sorry for you."
Zhao Teng's eyes widened. This Huaiguzi actually knew that he was suffering too much. Feeling Li Shui's concern, tears welled up in his eyes.
Li Shui said: "Brother Zhao will interrogate it first, and we will go see Butler Wang's body."
Zhao Teng nodded.
The servants of the Qi Mansion took Li Shui and others into Butler Wang's room, and a strange smell came from the door.
It's been a few days and the smell is getting worse.
Li Shui and others covered their mouths and noses with cloth strips and walked forward to check on Butler Wang's body.
Indeed, as Zhao Teng said in the political hall, the corners of Butler Wang's mouth were raised, as if he was very happy, but why on earth was he so happy?
Xianglizhu unbuttoned Butler Wang's shirt and found obvious veins bulging on the backs of his hands and arms.
Li Shui said: "It seems that Butler Wang was greatly stimulated before his death."
Xianglizhu said: "Maybe it was caused by drinking something?"
Li Shui said: "I heard that Butler Wang likes to drink tea, especially aphrodisiac tea. Looking at the furnishings in his room, I don't see any teacups."
At this time, the servant at the door said: "To tell you what my lord, when I found Butler Wang, the tea set was broken on the floor. It must have been broken by Butler Wang, and they have been cleaned up afterwards."
Li Shui nodded, so that's it.
Li Xin said: "This aphrodisiac tea costs 50,000 yuan a cup now. Can the housekeeper of Qi Mansion afford it?"
Li Shui said: "I have checked this. Butler Wang has been in Qi Mansion for many years and has saved a sum of money. He has a share in a wine shop in the north of West City."
Li Xin said: "No wonder, this kid is quite smart." Chinese website
After Zhao Tengshen heard about Xiao Lezi, he just walked to the door of Butler Wang's room. He heard Li Shui and others talking about aphrodisiac tea, and Xiao Lezi just said that Butler Wang often drinks tea on weekdays, and he suddenly had an idea.
Zhao Teng walked in with a smile and asked, "Guys, did you find anything?"
Xiangli Zhu was outspoken and said subconsciously: "It's probably poisoning."
Zhao Teng was very surprised. When he took the medical officer to check it out in the morning, he didn't think it was poisoning. Hey, these quack doctors have misled me quite a lot.
Zhao Teng said: "Poisoned? What kind of poison?"
Li Shui said: "I'm not sure. I still need to remove a piece of human tissue and go back to study it."
Zhao Teng widened his eyes and said, "You don't want to dissect the body, do you?"
Li Shui smiled: "It's not that exaggerated, just a small piece."
Li Shui said to Xiang Lizhu: "You still need to work hard. Just take off a piece of flesh from your heart. Afterwards, you can dress Butler Wang without being discovered."
Xiangli Zhu rolled his eyes and said, "Master Qi is the most pedantic. Why don't you do this bad thing?"
Li Shui said: "How can this be a bad thing? Butler Wang is dying with his eyes open now. He is just borrowing a piece of flesh and blood. To restore Butler Wang's innocence and restore peace to the Qi family, how many people have to be grateful to you before it's too late."
