Chapter 57
Several maids came in one file at a time with glazed cups, and placed delicacies in front of each guest's table. There were two dishes in total, West Lake Vinegar Fish and Bear's Paw Tofu.

When the lid of the glazed cup was lifted, many guests at the banquet let out exclamations of admiration.

The so-called fish and bear's paw can't have both, and only the Duke's Mansion can be so extravagant. Everyone's table, without exception, has these two dishes.

When the maid serving the dishes passed by, Wang Miaoyan drank the wine in her glass with her head up, and casually glanced at the glazed cup in her hand.

The two plates of glazed cups were placed in front of the old lady. The old lady was very satisfied with the surprised reactions of the people around her. She raised her hand and smiled and talked about the scene, so that the guests don't have to restrain themselves.

Just when the atmosphere was joyful, suddenly, someone in the middle seat of the birthday banquet was pale and vomited blood.

"puff--"

A terrified voice came from the servant girl: "Miss!"

This movement attracted the attention of the guests. The woman in the red pleated skirt was weakly holding on to the table, her face was painful and she vomited blood, her body was twitching.

Everyone turned pale with shock when they saw it, and then someone reacted, "Oops, the food is poisonous!"

As soon as these words came out, the banquet became chaotic in an instant, and the guests were in a commotion. They all ate these dishes, lest they would be the next one to be poisoned to death.

No one expected that someone would dare to poison in public at the birthday banquet. Many people were frightened, and some even started to pick their own throats. Few remained calm.

The middle-aged man was in a panic, he looked like the woman's father, "Go and call the doctor!"

Grandpa Guo stood up, his expression was not very good, "Yuan Ling Shi, don't worry, the servant has already gone to invite him."

The person who had the accident was the young lady of the Yuan family, the daughter of the commander of the Ministry of War, whose official position is inconspicuous among the many dignitaries today.

But if she dies in the Duke's Mansion, the Yuan family will definitely be able to take part in the Duke's Mansion in court.

The woman's lips turned blue, and soon she couldn't hold on anymore, and fell limply on the ground, her pale face was bloodless and lifeless.

"Qinan!!"

No one noticed that Liu Lu in the crowd covered her mouth in astonishment, and retreated in panic and panic.

Because she recognized a dish on Miss Yuan's table, which was exactly the same as the dish she sneaked into the back kitchen and poisoned last night.

Isn't that the meal for the old mothers of Baomotang? Why did it appear here?And it poisoned people.

Suddenly Jiang Wu quickly rushed into the crowd, walked up to the woman, took out something from her sleeve, pinched the woman's chin and stuffed it into her mouth, at the same time, she took the drink next to her and poured it for her violently. go down.

Jiang Wu's movements were too fast, so fast that everyone didn't react, and they didn't see what Jiang Wu was feeding her.

She had just finished filling the drink for Miss Yuan Family, whose life and death were unknown, when she was pushed away fiercely by the maid, "What are you doing!?"

The servant girl's strength was overbearing, and Jiang Wu was caught off guard by the push. She was about to fall, and a hand stretched out from behind, helping her in time.

"Thank you." Jiang Wu breathed a sigh of relief, subconsciously thanked him politely, turned his head to see who helped him, and met Qin Zexu's eyes with a smile.

Jiang Wu's face sank in an instant, and she turned her head back.

Qin Zexu chuckled playfully, "Do you want to change your face so quickly?"

The surroundings were messy and crowded, and no one noticed the interaction between the two, so Jiang Wu would not talk to him.

It just so happened that the doctor rushed over at this time, and everyone was diverted to pay attention, so they didn't care what Jiang Wu fed Yuan Qinan.

The doctor took Yuan Qinan's pulse, breathed his breath and checked his pupils, and after a long while, he shook his head heavily at the Duke.

"It's over, let's go back and prepare for the funeral."

Yuan's father was buzzing in his head, his hand hanging by his side trembled, and he almost passed out on the spot.

A voice in the crowd asked anxiously: "Dare to ask the doctor, what kind of poison is in this?"

The doctor exhaled turbid air, and said firmly: "Poison poison."

"It's poison again!?" Aunt Xiao reacted fiercely, "How long has it been since the poisoning of the bird's nest last time? It's probably the same murderer who poisoned the bird's nest last time! If the murderer is not caught, who knows what the next murderer will be?" Who will be poisoned!"

For a moment, people in the Duke's Mansion were panicked and everyone was in danger. So far, the birthday banquet has been completely messed up.

The Duke of the State is in a state of desperation, and many of the people who came today are high-ranking officials and dignitaries. If something happens here, the Duke's Mansion cannot afford it.

When such a scandal happened, the face of the Duke's Mansion was completely lost. The old lady's expression was terribly gloomy, "Give me a thorough investigation! Even if the whole Duke's Mansion is turned over, the murderer must be caught!"

Following the old lady's order, a large number of guards rushed in, and there were several doctors who came behind to check the dishes and drinks on everyone's table one by one.

The members of the Yuan family hugged the lifeless Yuan Qinan and wept bitterly. The doctor found poison in a dish of Taibai duck that Yuan Qinan had used.

And one after another, the dishes on other guests' tables were also found to be poisonous, but without exception, the poison was put in the bear's paw tofu or West Lake vinegar fish that were newly served in glass cups before, and the guests had no time to use them.

Only Yuan Qinan who died of poisoning was different, the poison given to her was hidden in other dishes.

"Oh, Miss Yuan's family is also pitiful. It's a pity that she passed away like this at a young age."

"Who says no, I don't know who is so vicious and vicious, who dares to poison at the banquet, it's just outrageous!"

"If the murderer is caught, he will be cut to death!"

Liu Lu was terrified, her back was drenched in cold sweat.

She never expected that things would turn out to be such a big mess, and she couldn't help but start to feel scared.

Although she thought she was very careful when she poisoned yesterday, she didn't dare to make sure that she would not be able to find her at all.

A large-scale search has been launched in the house, and the Duke and Zhou are busy appeasing the guests.

Standing in the crowd, Jiang Wu frowned, and glanced at the dishes that Yuan Qinan used, are they really poisonous?

She stepped forward and reached out to pick up the plate of Taibai duck for a closer look, but she was scolded, "Where is that bitch touching something? Put it down!"

Jiang Wu's ears hurt from the noise, she raised her head coldly, the doctor finally saw her face clearly, and sneered, "Yo, it's you again."

"It's been so long, have you found out that the bowl of poisonous bird's nest is not poisonous?"

The last time he made a bet with Jiang Wu, if it was found that the bird's nest was not poisonous, he would never practice medicine again in this life.

It's a pity that after so long, Jiang Wu didn't move at all.

Seeing Jiang Wu now, Doctor Chi couldn't help but mock her a few words.

Jiang Wu also remembered, and gave him an idiotic look.

She really found out that it was not poisonous.

The servant girl rushed over angrily, "What the hell did you feed my lady just now!"

"It's just an emergency detoxification pill. I thought if it would be useful to Ms. Yuan, I would give it to her." Jiang Wu made up an excuse.
