Rules for Raising Husbands of Crossing Koi

Chapter 300 Poisoning
"Stop talking nonsense, now you and your master can only live one and you choose."

The man didn't talk nonsense with him and directly asked him to choose.

How could the butler make a choice? You must know that Lianxu has been kind to him for regeneration. If he chooses to let his master die, wouldn't it be revenge for his kindness?

But—he didn't want to die either.

While the housekeeper was thinking, one of them came up to him, put a pill into his mouth without any explanation, and forced him to swallow it.

The housekeeper struggled to no avail, and swallowed the pill. Because he didn't have time to react, he coughed instinctively, "Ahem..."

After waiting for him to feel comfortable for a while, he covered his neck and looked at the two, "You guys, what are you giving me?"

"Soul-devouring pills, after three days, if you don't take the antidote, you will definitely be heartbroken."

"You, what are you doing? I have never offended you. Why are you killing them all?" The butler was anxious for a moment. Although he didn't know what this soul-eating pill was, he knew it was not a good thing just by the name.

Hearing what the housekeeper said, the man couldn't help laughing, "How else do you want to offend us? Your master has raised the price of salt so high. Now we have nowhere to go. Do you think we will still be afraid of death?"

"You, you are salt merchants?"

"Why, look down on us?" One of the men was instantly unhappy when he heard the butler's words, and stepped forward to give him a slap, "I can tell you, this Soul Eater Pill, you won't feel anything on the first day, and you won't feel anything on the second day. It starts to itch all over your body, and after noon on the third day, you are sure to die."

After finishing speaking, the man untied the housekeeper directly, "Go away."

Seeing that they didn't care about him, the steward became even more frightened, and didn't even intend to leave. He squatted on the ground and looked at the two pleadingly, "My lords, what do you want me to do?"

"You don't want to die?"

"Of course I don't want to die."

"Okay, very good, then I'll tell you, you either kill your master, or tell all your master's crimes, or you will die instead of your master."

The man looked at the butler with a half-smile.

At this moment, the housekeeper's life was hopeless, and he just looked at the man dullly.

After a while, the butler seemed to have made up his mind, "Okay, let me tell you, I have a book that records all the crimes of our master."

"Okay, where do you put it? I'll send someone to get it. As long as you prove that what's said above is not true, then you will definitely survive." The man promised the housekeeper.

The butler also understood that if he didn't want to die, he could only tell the truth.

After the housekeeper revealed the location where the ledger was hidden, one of the men went straight to Qu.

About an hour later, the man came back, nodded to another man, and then he looked at the butler, "Go back, get the antidote in three days, we will check in these three days, as long as what is said above is true Yes, then you can survive, and you can rest assured that even if we have to continue to seek settlements in the future, we will not betray you."

"Is what the two masters said true?"

"Of course, we only have enmity with Lianxu, why should we target you if we don't have any enmity with you?" The man asked back, but the butler was powerless to refute, and then he could only nod, "Yes, I understand, so I will leave first. "

Following the steward's departure, the man also left the ruined temple.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that the two men arrived at the inn without hesitation.

In the guest room, Qin Tieniu, Qin Lu, and Zhang Deshan were all waiting, and two men walked in, "My lord has it."

The man took out the ledger, and Qin Lu quickly looked through the ledger.

In fact, before they got the ledger, they had already mastered some of the successive crimes. They only needed to compare what they knew with what was on the ledger, and if they were sure they were correct, then they could prove that the ledger given by the butler was real.

"The butler doesn't suspect it?"

"Don't worry, Commander, the pill Miss Qin gave is very effective. We used this method to get a lot of information before, and the two of us have already inquired about it. This housekeeper is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death..."

"That's good."

Qin Lu had already finished reading the few people talking, she nodded to Qin Tieniu, "Yes, it should be true, as long as you follow the above, you will be able to find all the evidence of the crime and the evidence of his collusion with the government. There is an article about the crown prince!"

Qin Lu frowned, and handed the ledger to Qin Tieniu.

Qin Tieniu's face was not much better. After carefully reading the account book, he was very angry, "I never thought that he, as a prince, would be greedy for so much tax money."

Yes, the amount of some taxes recorded above does not match the taxes paid by the prince.

Before they came, they had already read the account books of the court, and they also memorized some figures, but they did not expect that the crown prince would not only collude with them, but also deceive the Holy Majesty.

"Tie Niu, don't be angry. This matter needs to be discussed in the long term. There are also movements from the prince's side now. We must act more cautiously in the future."

Qin Lu held Qin Tieniu's hand to comfort her for a while.

As Qin Tieniu's mood eased, Qin Lu spoke out the next move he was considering.

"You mean pretending to be hurt?"

"Yes, my people have found out that the prince has sent people to Yongcheng. If they approach Tieniu or me, they will surely know that we have arrived in Yongcheng, so we must have an accident before they arrive. By then Brother Zhang will spread it out..."

"This is a way. At that time, everyone will know that Xunyan Yushi is injured and cannot reach Yongcheng for the time being. Wouldn't it be even more crazy for Duanxu and others?"

Zhang Deshan was ready to move, and the idea of ​​fighting was almost overflowing.

Qin Tieniu shook his head helplessly, "If the other party doesn't do it this time, you absolutely can't do it first."

"Yes, my lord. Don't worry about this. They are all members of the court. This kind of rule is clear to the subordinates."

If it wasn't for knowing this, Zhang Deshan would have allowed this group of people who bullied his lord to live until now?
Obviously it is impossible.

"Okay, since everything is almost ready, let's split up."

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Zhang Deshan made arrangements. Originally, Qin Lu was going to follow, but was held down by Qin Tieniu, "Daughter-in-law, you haven't had a good rest since you arrived in Yongcheng. You don't have to do anything today. Just rest at the inn."

Qin Tieniu's eyes that didn't allow anyone to turn her back made Qin Lu lose her temper instantly. She smiled and nodded in agreement, "Then I'll wait for you guys to come back with Xiao Baozi at the inn."

Only when Qin Tieniu left on his front foot, Xiao Bao was poisoned on his back foot.

Qin Lu originally wanted to go to the front hall of the inn to find out some news from the diners downstairs, but she found nothing. As soon as she returned to the guest room, she saw Xiaobao lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth. "packet……"
