The concubine Jiaojiao has high means, but the sick prince does not flirt

Chapter 190 Hiding honeysuckle privately

Of course, he couldn't afford to offend the Crown Prince and the Lord of Xianghe County in front of him, but he made up his mind not to speak, and if he didn't know anything about it, who could do anything to him?
Having made up his mind, Wang Shangshu just shook his head and smiled, but did not say a word.

Bai Zhi understood and stopped embarrassing him, and looked at Jing Zhaoyi again: "My lord, who do you think is behind this teahouse?"

When Jing Zhaoyi heard this, he waved his hands in horror and replied: "I don't know, anyway, I am not the backer of this teahouse. As a parent official in the capital, although I can't be praised by everyone, I will never take money Unlawful..."

But he said the last four words without confidence.

Bai Zhi nodded, gave him a thumbs up and said, "I hope so."

She knew in her heart that Jing Zhaoyi should not have participated in it, he was just afraid of certain forces.

"Report, there is a man on fire on Qian Street. We were going to help, but he disappeared. Besides, no other arsonists were found." The people who went to Qian Street to find the arsonist came back.

Bai Zhi was not surprised, she said as expected: "The person with the fire on his body is the arsonist. It's okay. If you run away from the monk, you can't escape the temple. There are other cases on this person, and they will always come out."

Hearing this, Wang Shangshu asked in surprise: "The county leader knows this person? What other crimes has he committed?"

Bai Zhi glanced at him mysteriously and said, "I don't know. Let's wait and see what the case is after it happens. Since we can set fires, can we stop it? We will definitely come out to commit crimes."

Although this answer did not match what she said, it was still reasonable.

Wang Shangshu hummed with obvious dissatisfaction: "So that's it. I thought he had a criminal record in other cases, so it would be easy to find."

Bai Zhi was too lazy to pay attention to him, she was just a puppet on the strings of that force.

She walked towards the back door of Yuelai Tea House and looked into the hall.

It happened that Yingyi also came out. He took a few steps forward and excitedly stepped forward and said: "Young madam, I have found honeysuckle flowers, there are so many."

Bai Zhi gave him an appreciative look, turned around and said to everyone: "Honeysuckle was found in the teahouse. There are no honeysuckles in the whole capital or even in the royal honeysuckle area. How come there are so many hidden in this teahouse?"

When the question was raised, there was an uproar.

Wang Shangshu and Jing Zhaoyi had different expressions on their faces.

Bai Zhi waved at Yingyi, who nodded and ordered his men to show the honeysuckle flowers they found to everyone.

"Lord Jing Zhaoyi, what should we do now?"

Bai Zhi crossed her arms and looked at Jing Zhaoyi, seemingly asking for his opinion, but actually forcing him to give a result.

Jing Zhaoyi was suddenly called upon, and was unprepared. He couldn't help but tremble, and then subconsciously looked at Wang Shangshu.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi snorted and joked, "Master Jing Zhaoyi, you can discuss it with Wang Shangshu. After all, Lord Shangshu is in charge of this case."

When she said this, Wang Shangshu couldn't wink at Jing Zhaoyi.

He dismissed the suspicion of hooking up without squinting, and said seriously: "Jing Zhaoyi is the guardian of the capital. I am only in charge of the poisoning case. I can't discuss it with me. I ask Jing Zhaoyi to decide what to do."

Seeing that he no longer gave her instructions, Jing Zhaoyi simply gritted her teeth and ordered: "Bring the proprietress here and interrogate her on the spot."

The boss's wife was escorted aside by Shen Changyan's order.

Hearing Jing Zhaoyi's words, Shen Changyan ordered someone to bring the proprietress over.

Jing Zhaoyi interrogates the proprietress why there are honeysuckle flowers in the house.

The landlady kept silent, like a mute, and refused to ask any questions.

Bai Zhi saw this and said, "Master Jing Zhaoyi, please go to the warehouse to see if those bats are still there."

Jing Zhaoyi immediately sent someone to the warehouse to check on the bats.

Soon the people sent out came back and said that the bats were all dead.

Bai Zhi shook her head and said, "I'm not dead, I was just cursed."

"Why did you say that?" Wang Shangshu asked in surprise.

Bai Zhi asked amusedly: "The bats that have been domesticated with great difficulty, how could they be willing to kill them? The people who domesticated these bats, as long as the first drop of blood, the bats can be brought back to life."

"So magical?" Wang Shangshu had an expression of disbelief.

Bai Zhi smiled coldly: "There are other amazing things. Not only are the bats here suspended from death, but also the bats at Yiming Teahouse and Jingzhaoyi Mansion. Because they were all domesticated by the same person, one The spell can control all bats. This is why I warned you not to touch the bats. Those bats still have residual poison, and this poison is also controlled by the tamer. In short, it is the tamer who controls the breath of those bats to poison, so, the teahouse Only those talented people will fall down handsomely."

Hearing this, the proprietress finally spoke. She smiled coldly: "Doesn't this prove that I am innocent? If I am a domesticator, how could I poison the tea customers in my shop and get into such trouble?"

"You are indeed innocent in the case of the poisoning of tea customers in your teahouse, but what about Yiming Teahouse? After all, these bats are kept in the warehouse in the backyard of your shop. Of course, if you want to prove your innocence, it is very easy, that is the first drop of blood , to see if we can bring these bats back to life."

Bai Zhi listened to the words of the landlady, and a smile appeared on her lips, hoping that she would fall into the trap herself.

But the proprietress seemed to realize that she was on the right track, so she shut up again and stopped talking.

Yingyi couldn't stand watching anymore and asked aloud: "County Lord, do you want to force the verification?"

Bai Zhi nodded, and replied: "Sure, since the proprietress claims that she is innocent, we must respect her opinion and verify her innocence. Yingyi, you have to be gentle, the proprietress is a charming young lady."

She meant this last sentence.

Deliberately let the proprietress recognize the eldest lady she named.

Sure enough, there was a flash of fear in the landlady's eyes, but then she closed her eyes.

She was now being controlled by the police, unable to move and could only let them move.

Yingyi took out a dagger from his waist, lightly scratched the boss's wife's wrist, and held the wound for a moment, so that the blade was covered with blood.

The proprietress clenched her teeth tightly, not letting herself cry out in pain.

Ying Yi turned to look at Bai Zhi, who took out a small porcelain bottle from her pocket, handed it to Ying Yi and said: "Put the blood into the small porcelain bottle, shake it to shake the powder inside, and then sprinkle it on the largest Bat King. .”

Yingyi agreed and did so.

Everyone is staring at the Bat King.

The people who went to Jingzhaoyi Mansion and Yiming Teahouse respectively came back and confirmed that the bats in both places were in a state of suspended animation.

After about a cup of tea, Bat King's wings moved, and slowly he woke up, flapping his wings and getting up.

When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but burst into an uproar, admiring Bai Zhi's ability.
