Chapter 331: Chapter 331: Poisoning

Wang Hu had been waiting for Yuan Feng's order in the backyard of the gambling house. When he saw the thick stack of bank notes, his eyes were staring straight.

Look, look!
Working for the Eighth Prince, the reward is so generous, how about the person who ordered him to do things?

Let him carry so many lives on his back, just give 5000 taels, and 3000 taels will be given after everything is done.

Alas, he can't compare like this, he is loyal to the Eighth Highness voluntarily, which cannot be measured by money.

But 1 taels, His Highness is really too arrogant.

"This... Your Highness is willing to use a villain. It is the villain's blessing, and the villain cannot accept it."

Wang Hu waved his hands.

"Are you sure you don't want to?" Yuan Feng asked.

Wang Hu was taken aback, didn't he answer like that?

Seeing Yuan Feng's intention to take it back if you really don't want me, Wang Hu quickly stuffed it into his arms, full of emotion and said to Feng Yuan: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness."

Yuanfeng: "..."

So what you just said is nonsense?
Yuan Feng told Wang Hu about the plan of the Chu Jin Banquet. Wang Hu listened carefully, and when Yuan Feng finished speaking, he replied seriously: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the villain will definitely handle this matter well."

The person who asked Wang Hu to do business before asked him to set the fire in the middle of the day, thinking that in the dead of night, everyone would sleep and relax their vigilance, and death in the fire would be the least suspicious.

However, since Chu Jinyan wanted to dismount Cui Ye, it was naturally impossible to keep quiet.

It was time for the prisoners to have dinner, and suddenly there were screams and screams in the innermost cell, and a jailer hurried over to look, and saw that in the cells where the people in Ningxianglou were imprisoned, more than half of them He fell to the ground and clutched his stomach, foaming at the mouth, rolling in pain.

The few remaining women who were holding their rice bowls and hadn't come to eat in a hurry turned pale with fright.

"Ahhh...the food is poisonous, help me..."

The ear-piercing scream sounded and spread directly to the outermost part of the cell.

The prisoners who were eating were frightened and threw away their rice bowls when they heard this.

"My lord, my lord, help me!"

The jailer was also shocked by the scene in front of him, and quickly called out to his companion, "Quick, call the doctor."

For a while, the prison became chaotic.

How elegant are the prisoners? When they heard that the food was poisonous, they almost scolded the eighteen generations of the jailors' ancestors. If the cell door hadn't been locked, that group of people would have rushed out to chop the jailers into pieces.

But even if they couldn't get out, pairs of bloody and hostile eyes fell on the jailers like sudden venom, making people's hearts shudder.

Some people rushed to ask for a doctor, and those who stayed behind scratched their throats for the poisoned people to induce vomiting. They couldn't just watch them wait to die.

There was a medical clinic within a few doors of the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment. The jailer gave a general description of the illness, and because of the large number of people, he called all three doctors in the medical clinic.

A few people hurried back to the cell, and there was a sour smell wafting from the inside.

By picking their throats, they made them vomit.

When the jailer saw the doctor, he quickly got up and made way for him.

The doctor took out a pack of medicinal powder, which is a medicine to induce vomiting, and asked someone to mix it with water and feed it to these people.

For a while, the sounds of vomiting kept coming and going, causing the people next to him to listen and vomit subconsciously.

After vomiting one by one, they all collapsed on the ground like dead fish, unable to raise their strength.

The three doctors were busy taking the pulse to determine the patient's condition.

"These three people are too poisoned to be saved." A doctor pointed to the old bustard and said to the two men.

They're all out of breath.

"What kind of poison?" asked the jailer.

"It's oleander. The dosage of these people's medicine is light, so they saved their lives. These three people took a little too much." The doctor said.

Hearing this, the jailers frowned tightly.

The three people who died of poisoning probably ate too much dinner.

However, if this is the case, the poisoning of all the people in Ningxiang Building is also a major case that cannot be ignored, let alone three of them were poisoned to death.

If it wasn't for these people eating less, I'm afraid dozens of lives would have to be confessed in this way tonight.

The poisoner is really vicious.

Competing against Ningxiang Tower like this, everyone invariably came up with a name in their minds.

After all, Ningxiang Building was imprisoned in the Ministry of Criminal Justice precisely because Zheng Wenwu died in their building.

Concubine Zheng blamed everyone because he couldn't find the murderer, but even if you want to kill him, can't you find a way to deal with it in an aboveboard manner?He went to the prison to secretly prod and prescribe medicine. He was relieved of his hatred when the person died, but they were in bad luck.

For a moment, everyone hated Zheng Kuan in their hearts.

"Quickly go and report to Master Cui." Someone said.

Seeing the opportunity, Wang Hu hurriedly said, "I'll go."

The other prisoners in the cell saw that they hadn't had any symptoms after so long, and they all realized that they were not the target of being poisoned, so they stopped making noise.

The prison suddenly became quiet, which seemed a little strange.

The smell of vomiting permeated the entire cell, making people sick to the stomach.

Before Cui Ye arrived, no one moved the poisoned person at will, which spoiled the scene, and it would be even more troublesome if they didn't explain clearly after questioning.

When Cui Ye received the news, he felt as if he was facing a big enemy. When he saw the situation in the prison, he almost couldn't get up.

God is going to kill him!
"It's hateful, it's hateful, it's too deceitful, and it's hard to ignore my Ministry of Criminal Justice." Cui Ye was so angry that he didn't need his subordinates to remind him, the first thing he thought of was Zheng Kuan.

"My lord, what shall we do?" asked the jailer.

People took advantage of the loopholes to poison people in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It was because they were negligent in guarding against it, not to mention whether they should lose their jobs, or they might lose their lives.

There was a bang in Cui Ye's mind.

How to do?
He also wants to know what to do?
The murderer confessed by the emperor was not caught, but died in the prison under his jurisdiction. Cui Ye wished to pull Zheng Kuan out and dismember him.

Regardless of your son-in-law or what.

Since you don't call me An Sheng, I will never make it easier for you.

"Clean up everything here, tell the doctor to save those who can be saved, and move those who can't be saved to other places first, and I will enter the palace right away."

"Yes." The jailer clapped his hands in reply.

After Cui Ye made a hasty confession, he entered the palace overnight.

It was already midnight when he arrived at the palace, he didn't dare to disturb the emperor's slumber, so he knelt dryly outside Chengqian Palace and fed the mosquitoes all night.

Those who died were all civilians, and they were insignificant to Cui Ye.

What he is afraid of is the effect this incident will have on him.

And it's not just one or two people who were poisoned, the doctor also checked the food of dozens of people in the entire Ningxiang Building, and in the entire cell, only the people in the Ningxiang Building got the food with oleander. The only few left were too slow to eat.

Cui Ye felt that the black hat on his head would be lost.

But at this moment, he can only push all this matter to Zheng Kuan, plus Liu Xiang and the second prince made a rescue, maybe the emperor can punish him with minor punishments, at least not to be dismissed from office.
