The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2248 Exceptions
He got up and walked to the door of the cell, looked at the food on the ground, frowned, then bent down, picked up the food, and when he walked back, his footsteps paused, and then he sat down at the low table with the food , picked up the chopsticks, and pulled the food a few times.

With a sigh, he put down the bowl and chopsticks again.

The guard who came in to deliver the food just now walked around the cell, then came back here, and looked towards Di Renjie.

"My lord, why don't you eat good food?" the guard asked.

Di Renjie smiled wryly.

"I can't eat it."

"But what's not to your liking? I'll change the little one for you," said the guard.

Di Renjie shook his head: "It's nothing, it's nothing, I will eat it in a while."

The guard nodded: "Oh, good, I thought the meals prepared for the adults were not to the adults' liking."

After finishing speaking, the guard smiled embarrassingly.

"It's getting late, I remember, should you tell me to go home for dinner?" Di Renjie asked.

"Yeah, it's getting dark outside. It was supposed to be handed over a quarter of an hour ago. It's just that Zhang Er, who was drinking at home, was delayed, so he hasn't come here yet. When he comes in a while, the younger one should come back." Home." The guard smiled.

"Well, although there's nothing serious here, you can't relax during ordinary times. When Zhang Er comes, talk to him carefully, and you can't do this next time." Di Renjie said.

"Yes, the younger one must warn him." The guard smiled.

Di Renjie has been living in the cell for the past few days, and has become acquainted with the guards in the cell.

After a while, Zhang Er's voice came from outside. The guard smiled at Di Renjie, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Zhang Er has come, and it's time for the younger one to talk to him."

"Well, let's go." Di Renjie said.

About half an hour later, Di Renjie called Zhang Er in.

"Zhang Er!"

Zhang Eryi outside heard Di Renjie's voice, and hurried all the way to the door of Di Renjie's cell.

"My lord, what are your orders?" Zhang Er asked with his hands clasped.

"Let's take out the food and bring me a pot of wine." Di Renjie said.

Zhang Er looked at the food on the ground. Although the rice bowl was messed up, there was no sign of being eaten at all.

"My lord, if you don't eat tonight, the rest of the night will be difficult." Zhang Er said with concern.

"It's okay, don't you have wine? Let's do it." Di Renjie said.

"Yes." Zhang Er saw that he couldn't hold back Di Renjie, so he could only do what Di Renjie said, pulled down the food, and planned to buy a jar of good wine for Di Renjie.

"Wait a minute." Di Renjie stopped Zhang Er.

"My lord?" Zhang Er turned around and looked at Di Renjie suspiciously.

"When serving these meals, find a hidden place and throw them all out so that no one will find out," Di Renjie said.

"Why?" Zhang Er said: "My lord, it's such a pity that all the food was poured out."

Zhang Er felt that if Mr. Di was not late for these meals, it would be good for the brothers to have supper.

"If you're not afraid of dying, just take it and eat it." Di Renjie laughed.

"My lord is saying that the food is poisonous?" Zhang Er asked in surprise.

"Not sure." Di Renjie said, "You can find a way to verify one or two things."

Cold sweat broke out on Zhang Er's back. In the prison cell of Dali Temple, someone actually wanted to murder the minister of Dali Temple by poisoning. If the food was really poisonous, Master Di ate it, and it was a problem Well, that Zhang Erke can hardly be blamed, after all, at this moment, in the cell, there are a few of their brothers guarding it, so they can tell.

Seeing Zhang Er's face in front of him, Di Renjie's face also became serious.

This situation seems to be a little bit wrong, a bit familiar, where is it?

"My lord, please wait a moment." Zhang Er said.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Er took the food and left. Di Renjie knew that Zhang Er was going to verify what he said. If there is really a problem with the food, you can show that Di Renjie's observation is not wrong.

Although the guard was also in the cell of Dali Temple before, there was indeed something wrong with that person.

The difference is that no matter who came to deliver the food before, they all opened the door of the cell and brought the food in respectfully. Although Di Renjie was in prison, his official position was not revoked. He was still the Minister of Dali Temple. It's still the chief of Dali Temple, who here dares to treat Di Renjie badly?Who dares to disrespect Di Renjie?

But today, the food was stuffed in through the gap in the railing of the cell, and after the food was delivered in this way, the guards urged him to eat, and even patrolled in the cell, and then he probably walked back, apparently patrolling The prison cell, in fact, just wanted to see if he had moved his chopsticks. Di Renjie felt something was wrong when he found the food stuffed in, so he paid great attention to the guard's expression and movements.

The officer said that it was time to hand over to Zhang Er in a quarter of an hour. Zhang Er was delayed at home, but after Zhang Er came, he didn't see anything wrong at all, and there was nothing wrong with Zhang Er. He smelt of alcohol, if he hadn't been delayed by drinking, there would be an explanation for Zhang Er being late for a quarter of an hour, which meant that the guard was lying.

Why is Zhang Er late for a quarter of an hour for no reason?Unless someone said something to Zhang Er.

However, all of these speculations are based on the fact that the food that Zhang Erduan went out was poisonous.

After about two quarters of an hour, Zhang Er came back with a solemn expression.

"My lord, there is really something wrong with the food. The little one had someone catch a mouse, and the mouse died shortly after eating, foaming at the mouth, convulsing all over the body," Zhang Er said.

Sure enough.

"Zhang Er, let me ask you, why were you a quarter of an hour late for the shift change in the cell today? What are you doing during this quarter of an hour?" Di Renjie asked.

As soon as Di Renjie said this, Zhang Er was at a loss.

"My lord, the little one is not late? No, my lord, you don't suspect that the food problem is caused by the little one, right? The little one is wronged. The little one has the guts to dare to do anything to the adults." .” Zhang Er was so frightened that he almost knelt on the ground.

"Don't panic, I didn't say you were poisoned, but I just wanted to ask you." Di Renjie said, "You said, you were not late at all when the handover in the cell was held today?"

"Yes." Zhang Er nodded.

"Then why did Wang Zhu say that you were a quarter of an hour late? And he didn't leave the cell until a quarter of an hour after you were supposed to hand over.
