Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 151

Su Chen asked Cook Zhao, Chunxiang and others to be called out first, and asked about it, and went through the process, speculating on Cook Zi Liao's usual preferences, personality, strengths and weaknesses, so as to learn more about this person.

Then, let Coach Li lead someone to call out Cook Liao alone, and put him in a small dark room without windows.

Su Chen and Peng Qingqing sat on the chairs, and there were two oil lamps in front of the desk, which had the atmosphere of an interrogation room, and they interrogated him alone here.

Chef Liao looked at the two of them nervously, and said doubtfully, "I really didn't do it, why don't you believe it?"

Su Chen had no expression on his face, and said coldly: "You didn't do it? But out of seven people, five of them wrote that you did it!"

Liao Chef's face changed greatly when he heard the words, he shook his head violently, and argued: "Impossible, they are spitting blood and framing me."

"Fire it on you? Maybe not?" Su Chen smiled slightly, seeming to have a plan in mind.

Chef Liao rolled his eyes, looked at Su Chen and said, "Isn't this blame-setting? Xiaodi was working in the Bai family as his duty. Now that something happened to the head of the family, they colluded and set the blame on me for not taking responsibility for themselves." , It's not fair, I'm not a poisoner, Miss Zhifu, you have to decide for Xiaodi!"

Hearing this, Peng Qingqing didn't have any idea. It's okay to let her use force, but if she used her brain, she would be a mess.

"Just tell me the truth." Before entering the room, Peng Qingqing listened to Su Chen's analysis and guessed that this person was the poisoner. Although she had various small opinions on Su Chen, in many matters, she had a different position. Still consistent!

"Xiaodi really can't explain it, I didn't do it!" Chef Liao was still pretending to be innocent.

Su Chen stared at Chef Liao, and said solemnly: "We have already sent someone to search out the poison bottle from your room, and there is Crane Crown Red in it. You used Crane Crown Red to poison Patriarch Bai, He is seriously poisoned now, he is no longer a stroke symptom, he will die at any time, you are the murderer!"

Chef Liao shook his head and said, "The crane is red? It's not me, it's definitely not mine!"

Su Chen insisted: "The poison of Crane Dinghong was found in your room, Patriarch Bai happened to be poisoned, so it must be the poison of Crane Dinghong, Liao Guan, you are so cruel, you are using it to poison Patriarch to death ! If he dies, you will pay with your life!"

Chef Liao denied it categorically: "It's not a red crane, it's definitely not my poison!"

Su Chen shouted angrily: "Then what kind of poison did you cast?"

"It's aconitine..." Cook Liao stopped in the middle of his sentence, covered his mouth, and turned pale.

A smile overflowed from the corner of Su Chen's mouth and said: "Yes, it's aconitine, mixed with a little oleander, right? Although the powder is not fatal, it can poison Patriarch Bai and induce stroke symptoms. Crooked eyes, unable to speak, half body paralyzed, this is what you did!"

Cook Liao still wanted to deny it, but Peng Qingqing slapped the table and scolded angrily: "Liao Guan, you are so courageous. You murdered the head of the Bai family. You committed the crime of murder!"

Liao Guan's face was as white as paper, and he shook his head in fear, "That's not the case..."

At this moment, the door of the room was opened, and Bai Susu, Zheng Guanshi, and Coach Li all came in.

Bai Susu stared at Liao Guan with cold eyes, and said: "Did the Ding family give you the poison? You colluded with the Ding family? Murder the master, the Bai family has the right to deal with it according to the family law, and the remaining half of life will be sent to the magistrate to report to the officials!" "

Liao Guan immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Miss, I did not cheat on the Ding family, yes, yes..."

Halfway through the speech, Liao Chef hesitated to speak.

Bai Susu asked in a cold voice: "Who gave you the medicine? Tell the truth, maybe you can avoid your family's punishment, otherwise, the end will be unpredictable!"

Liao Guan was overwhelmed by Miss Bai's momentum, trembling slightly, gritted his teeth and said, "It's Second Master Bai!"

"My second uncle?" Bai Susu's expression was dignified, with a bit of coldness, as expected, it was similar to Su Chen's speculation.

"It was Bai Erye who asked me to do this. He threatened and lured me. Xiao Di dare not refuse to do so? He said that the medicine does not hurt people's lives, but it is only temporarily making the head of the family speechless and bedridden. In this way, Bai Erye You will be able to seize the position of Patriarch, and after the matter is completed, promise me 1000 taels of silver, and I will be promoted to steward of the outer court."

After Bai Susu listened, she was able to figure out the cause and effect. After pondering for a moment, she said, "Where are you hiding the rest of the poison?"

Cook Liao said in panic, "I hid it in a crevice of rocks behind the rockery."

Bai Susu immediately ordered: "Coach Li, take him down, find the poison and bring him back, then put him in a woodshed and keep him under strict supervision!"

"Yes, Miss!" Coach Li cupped his hands and led the servants forward, taking Cook Liao to find the remaining poison hidden away.

Peng Qingqing patted Su Chen's shoulder, and said pleasantly: "Okay, Su Chen, I didn't expect you to really know how to judge a case, and bring him to justice."

Su Chen felt that Qingqing didn't pat hard this time, and said modestly: "It's just luck!!"

Peng Qingqing smiled and said, "There's no need to be modest, it seems to be better than those in the magistrate's yamen in judging cases, and the method is also unique."

"Su Chen, thank you." Bai Susu said softly to Su Chen.

Su Chen looked at Bai Susu, and asked with concern: "Susu, what do you plan to do with him, do you want to have a showdown with your second uncle?"

Bai Susu hesitated for a moment, then said: "Second Uncle has great ambitions and lack of talent, a showdown or not, will not pose a big threat to my control of the White House. If there is a stalemate, it will make the White House restless, panic people, and make people outside more laughable. Anyway, the second uncle is under guard now, and there is no big wave. On the contrary, the Ding family is suspicious. They must have colluded with the second uncle, advised him, and provided him with poison. This kind of aconitine is strictly controlled in the military. The local regiment training army outside Runzhou city and the Jiangyin army are all under the jurisdiction of the governor of Yin, so it couldn't be easier for someone to take out a little aconitine poison."

Su Chen sighed softly: "That's true. The Ding family is not terrible. Behind the Ding family is the Yin governor. It will be difficult for the Bai family to completely bring down the Ding family."

Bai Susu shook his head and said: "If you don't want to be overthrown, you can protect yourself. Since the Huangchao Uprising at the end of Tang Dynasty, five generations have changed. There are only a century-old family, but no century-old dynasty. Many small courts only survive for 30 to [-] years. As long as the Bai family does not It's completely down, and it's easy to get rid of a governor."

After Su Chen heard the words, he took a look at Bai Susu and felt that what she said was quite reasonable.

In the chaotic situation of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, too many countries perished within 30 to [-] years after the founding of the country, and there were even small courts that only survived within ten years.As long as the local gentry protect themselves and not be ransacked and exterminated in the troubled times, they can continue and pass on for a hundred years, just like those powerful families in the Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang dynasties.

It's just that these merchant families have limited influence in the government and are not respected by scholars. Their status is not comparable to the noble and prominent powers in the past.

"Let's go, the spies have found out, let's go see how Junior Brother Liu is doing the detoxification of Patriarch Bai?" Su Chen suggested.

Bai Susu nodded, and when she turned around and walked out, she suddenly said something inexplicable: "You always call Patriarch, you're a bit heretical."

"..." Su Chen was stunned, thinking that if I don't call Patriarch, why should I still call you Grandpa?It's not relative, so I won't let that stingy old man take advantage of it.
