The chef was horrified.
He just focused on crying and was choked with sobs: "I put the analgesic powder into the stir-fried cabbage dish, and also put it into the wine I drank."
Yan Qi asked loudly: "Why do you want to harm people?"
"Woooo..."
The chef cried bitterly: "I just listened to the boss. I put whatever the boss asked me to put. I didn't mean it. I was also afraid. In fact, I don't even know what an analgesic umbrella is."
"Although I didn't want to let go, my boss forced me to let go and threatened me that if I didn't let go, he would drive me away. So, I... wu wu... have mercy on me, please have mercy on me."
Yan Qi stared at the boss of Juyuan Pavilion again: "You should also explain it honestly. If you can explain it clearly, the sin will be smaller."
The boss of Juyuan Pavilion had a dark green face and kept kowtowing: "I was also forced by Cui Xi."
Yan Qi asked: "Tell me, why did Cui Xi force you?"
The boss trembled and said: "Cui Xi came to me with the accounting books of the Finance Department and said that I was guilty of tax evasion and was sentenced to three years in prison. I was so frightened that I quickly knelt down and begged for mercy. I was completely panicked."
"As a result, Cui Xi also said that as long as I cooperate with him and put the analgesic powder into the food and drinks of the four Mr. Guo, they will not care about my tax evasion, and even, in the next three years, I will not have to pay Tax. I had no choice but to be a little greedy for money, so I did what Cui Xi told me."
Yan Qi nodded: "One link after another, it's really tight."
He stared at Cui Xi again: "It's your turn, what do you say?"
Cui Xi opened his mouth.
Cui Helin glared at Cui Xi, his expression unspeakably ugly.
Cui Xi was about to speak but stopped.
Yan Qi chuckled: "Cui Xi, since you can be Cui Helin's master, you are naturally a person with seven orifices and know the rules and taboos in the officialdom."
"Do you know who you are harming? You are harming four gentlemen, Guoping Ren, Tang Bufan, Chen Qiao, and Zhao Hong! They are all Dahua Grandmasters, the leaders of the Royal Academy. Such Grandmasters, even the Emperor You attach great importance to them, but you want to harm them? Do you know what the crime is? This is a serious crime of beheading or even killing the nine tribes. Can you bear it? Haha, if you want to bear it yourself, then it depends on whether your neck is strong enough. Hard."
Cui Xi's face turned pale with fear, and his body was trembling.
His neck is obviously not strong enough.
"I said, I confess..."
Cui Helin was anxious: "Don't listen to Yan Qi, he is scaring you. Analgesic powder is not poison. How about beheading? That's impossible..."
How could Cui Xi listen to Cui Helin?
He was unable to take responsibility for the crime of framed Guoping people.
Cui Xi's voice trembled: "I confess, I confess completely, it was all... Cui Fuyin ordered me to do it. Cui Fuyin instructed me to manipulate the four elders of the country, and the Analgesic Powder was also made by Cui Fuyin himself. Leave it to me..."
Cui Helin was stunned and kicked Cui Xi hard: "How dare you talk nonsense! You fart, it's just a fart! You did all this yourself. You wanted to murder the elder, but you slandered me. ."
Yan Qi chuckled: "Cui Xi, did you hear that? When disaster strikes, we all fly away. Cui Helin puts the responsibility on you."
Cui Xi was furious: "Cui Helin, you are so ruthless. I have served you for most of my life, and you came back to bite me. Okay, since you are ruthless, don't blame me for being unrighteous. I have already inquired about Analgesic Powder You bought it with your own hands at Miaoshou Tang last night, do you still want to quibble?"
Cui Helin immediately lost his temper.
Ning Xin was already prepared and waved his hand: "Bring up the doctor from Miaoshou Hall."
A man is brought in.
Yan Qi asked the doctor with a pleasant look: "Look carefully, who bought the analgesic powder in your medicine hall last night? If you want to tell the truth, don't panic, the analgesic is not a poison, but a normal herbal medicine. It’s not illegal for you to sell this medicine, I’m just asking you to cooperate.”
The doctor first glanced at Cui Xi: "I have never seen this person before."
Yan Qi pointed at Cui Helin: "Where is he?"
The doctor glanced at Cui Helin and immediately said: "Hey, it's him. Last night, he came to my store to buy analgesic powder. Because there are very few people buying this medicine, and there may not be one person in a month. I was particularly impressed. I prepared medicine for him on the spot and chatted for a long time."
"Hey, I remember he was wearing a scholar's uniform. Why is he now wearing an official uniform? Is he an official? Strange."
After hearing what the doctor said, everyone felt like a mirror.
Cui Helin's face was pale, his appearance was haggard, his body was limp on the ground, and he could no longer cheer up.
Yan Qi looked at Cui Helin: "What else do you have to say? You personally bought the analgesic powder and put the responsibility on Cui Xi. This kind of logic is bizarre. Do you think anyone will believe it?"
At this moment, Cui Helin couldn't say anything to defend himself. With witnesses and physical evidence gathered together, it was no longer possible for him not to plead guilty.
Guopingren, Tang Bufan, Chen Qiao and Zhao Hong were furious.
"Cui Helin, why are you doing this? Why are you torturing us?"
"Tell me, who is instigating you behind the scenes?"
"You recruit from the truth."
…
Cui Helin was depressed and couldn't answer a word.
In fact, he didn't dare to answer.
Yi Guinong looked down at Cui Helin, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
He also broke into a cold sweat.
Because, although Guopingren, Tang Bufan, Chen Qiao, and Zhao Hong had no official positions or real power, they were just retiring to their old age in the Royal Academy.
However, their influence is nationwide.
If a small county magistrate, or even a state government official, could not take Tang Bufan and the four of them seriously, they would never have any irrelevant influence because of the Tang Bufan and the four of them.
However, Yi Guinong was the governor of a province.
Tang Bufan and the four others were tricked under his nose.
He actually went to the capital.
what is this?
To put it lightly, this is called laxity in imperial duties.
To put it more seriously, it is dereliction of duty.
The imperial court pays special attention to these matters. If someone is caught by someone's hair, the consequences will be disastrous.
If you don't want to be promoted and just stay in the governor's position for the rest of your life, that's not a big deal.
However, everyone has ambitions.
Yi Guinong also has ambitions.
If he wanted to climb up the ladder, the poisoning incident of Tang Bufan and four people would definitely be brought out and hyped up, and then he would be promoted to a ridiculous position.
Therefore, after Ning Xin sent people to catch up with him and explain the situation, he dropped everything and rushed back to Hangzhou, determined to find out this matter.
Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.
Now, Yi Guinong is extremely resentful towards Cui Helin.
This guy did such a thing, which almost caused him to suffer an unreasonable disaster.
How can I bear this tone?
Yi Guinong locked eyes on Cui Helin like a wolf: "Who ordered you to do this?"
