Two days later, at noon, it was time to sit down and the kitchen was in full swing. Those who cook, those who cook, those who carry water, those who serve dishes... six waiters, eight helpers, and three chefs are busy.
The kitchen was filled with fireworks and people coming and going, so lively.
At this moment, a man carrying a bucket carrying water walked into the kitchen.
His clothes and behavior were the same as Liba's, and he was unremarkable, except for the fact that he had a pigtail-like braid on the back of his head.
After entering the kitchen, he took out a packet of powder from his waist while no one was paying attention. After opening it, he was about to sprinkle it into the Shandong cuisine broth.
The reason why Shandong cuisine ranks first in the capital is due to its extremely delicious soup stock. Before monosodium glutamate was invented, dishes relied entirely on broth to make them fresh and flavorful. Therefore, there is also a saying in Shandong cuisine that "without soup, there is no dish".
If this pot of broth is poisoned, none of the guests who come to dine will be able to escape.
Just as the powder was about to be poured into the pot, at this moment, the helpers in the kitchen who were lighting the fire, washing vegetables, and chopping vegetables all rushed over and threw the man to the ground.
"Good boy, how dare you make trouble here? Do you know where this place is?" a servant scolded. In fact, these people were disguised as palace guards.
"Let me go, let me go, I'm here to deliver water from the water store next to you." The man shouted with luck.
"We'll find out if he's the one delivering water." The guard scolded, and then dragged the man out of the back door, wrapping up the bag of powder and taking him away.
That is criminal evidence and cannot be lost.
…
"Your Majesty, the young men were ordered to disguise themselves and ambush the chef of the Queen of Heaven. Sure enough, they found that this man was acting suspiciously. He dressed up as a waterman and secretly drugged the soup." The guard reported back to the prince, "This is the drug he wanted to drug."
"What kind of medicine is this?" Upon hearing this, Prince Jing immediately asked curiously.
Xiang Nan stepped forward to take a look, smelled the smell, and tried the feel. Then his expression changed, "Your Majesty, if I'm not mistaken, this should be arsenic."
"Arsenic?!" Prince Jing was also surprised when he heard this, "Find a dog immediately and try it."
The guard nodded, and after a moment, a yellow dog was brought. Then dipped the chicken legs in white powder and fed it to it.
In less than a minute, the puppy fell to the ground, whining and rolling around. After a while, he bled to death from his seven orifices. It takes less than two minutes before and after, so it can be said to be fast and effective.
"It's really poisonous." Prince Jing's expression changed. "Where is the person who poisoned me? Bring him here!"
The guards immediately dragged the man up.
The man was originally a scoundrel. After being brought to the palace, he was frightened out of his mind. When he saw the prince, he shouted for mercy, "Spare my life, please forgive me. You are a fool. You deserve to die. You shouldn't be greedy for other people's money. Please spare your life, Your Majesty." , Your Majesty, please spare my life."
"Spare you?!" Prince Jing sneered, "Mr. Xi is a distinguished guest invited by this king. You dare to mess with his business. You are really reckless! First, pull him down and give him forty lashes. Then you will slowly care about his business. crime."
Xiang Nan was the miracle doctor he invited, and he was the one who insisted on staying in the capital. He even funded the establishment of Yixiao Tang, Food is the Heaven. It can be said that everyone in the city knows that Xiang Nan is his honored guest.
However, there were some people who didn't give him face. When he made it clear that Xiang Nan was his, they dared to make trouble again and again, treating his prince as nothing.
If he doesn't pursue the matter to the end, it will make him look like a bloodless prince.
…
"Your Majesty, I hope you can uphold justice. Otherwise, I won't dare to stay in this capital any longer." Xiang Nan bowed and said, "As the saying goes, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days.
No matter how prepared I am, it's easy to dodge an open shot but hard to defend against a hidden one. I escaped a disaster this time. If I don't escape next time, my reputation and my life may be ruined here.
I, Xilaile, am just a commoner, but I cannot bear such a fright. "
"Mr. Xi, don't worry, I'll call Doctor Wang here right away." Upon hearing this, Prince Jing quickly comforted him.
He can still use Xiang Nan. Xiang Nan's medical skills are superb. Keeping him by your side is like saving another life. There is no one in the world who is not afraid of death. With such a miracle doctor around, the Lord of Hell has to step aside.
Moreover, Xiang Nan could also teach and educate people, training batches of famous doctors to serve the imperial court. So no matter what, he would not let Xiang Nan go.
…
After Wang Tianhe received the summons from the prince, he came to Prince Jing's Mansion.
As soon as he came in, he saw the rogue who was beaten into a human shape at the foot of the steps, which shocked him.
"I'm down to you, Wang Tianhe, to see Prince Jing." Wang Tianhe said politely first.
"Mr. Wang, do you know the people below?" Prince Jing asked directly without letting him get up.
Wang Tianhe was stunned for a moment and took a closer look. He saw that although the man was covered in bruises and blood, his general appearance could still be recognized.
However, in my impression, I had never seen this person before, so I shook my head and said, "Reporting to the prince, I don't know him."
"Don't know?! You've got it right." Prince Jing sneered, "Didn't you ask him to go to the restaurant to prepare the medicine for the Queen of Heaven's kitchen? It was still arsenic.
I said to Wang Tianhe, you are also a doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded, but how come you have a darker heart than a villain? Do you know how many people will be killed if this poison is removed? "
When Wang Tianhe heard this, he was startled and broke into cold sweat.
He didn't expect that things would be revealed so quickly. Prince Jing has obviously found out his details, making him almost indistinguishable.
Just when he was about to admit it, he suddenly rolled his eyes and had an idea, "Wait a minute. I have never met him, and I didn't give him the poison. He wants to bite me, but it's just a one-sided statement~"
Thinking of this, Wang Tianhe immediately said, "Your Majesty, where did you start with these words? I don't even know this man, so how can I send him to poison the world? Besides, I, the third generation of royal doctors in the Wang family, have bathed in the emperor's grace. Loyalty, filial piety and benevolence come first, how could you do such evil deeds?"
"Then you are saying that I have wronged you?" Prince Jing said angrily.
"My lord, catch the traitor and the couple, and take the thief and the stolen goods. If you have evidence, I will be willing to plead guilty. If you listen to the slander and wish to be lowered, I will not be convinced even if you go to the underworld." Wang Tianhe He said with a stick in his neck.
He was sure that the prince would not have any evidence to crucify him. Because from beginning to end, he only contacted Tian Kui. Even if Tian Kui rebels, it will be difficult to crucify him based on his own confession.
Seeing that he refused to admit his guilt, the prince couldn't help but get angrier, "Okay, since you won't shed tears without seeing the coffin, then I'll make it clear to you. Tian Kui, come out."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone walked out of the flower hall next to him, and it was Tian Kui.
When Wang Tianhe saw it, his eyes suddenly widened.
