After marrying sick Yangzi, I made my whole family rich

Chapter 324 The Power of the Left Prime Minister
"The evidence in Taoyuan Township is also one-sided, and Yipinju's reasonable doubt is not too much. To be honest, as a bystander, have you already determined that Yipinju was the one who poisoned you? Have you lost track of what you said at the moment?" Biased?"

What a bystander!
Dongfeng, Lin Gui and others were caught off guard by this sentence.

It is true that these officials really wanted to give His Majesty an explanation as quickly as possible and get rid of the responsibility. Therefore, as soon as they heard about Yipinju, they immediately subconsciously and instinctively hoped that it was them.

It is business to find someone as soon as possible to bear His Majesty's anger which has nowhere to vent.

But it is impossible for them to actually wrong others.

"Currently, it seems that Yipinju is the most suspect. I especially remember that in the first batch of competitions, they delayed other people's time because of their own selfishness. In the end, only one of them advanced. From this, it seems that they did achieve their goals. ,play hard!"

"No, no! Your Highness, sir, listen to the explanation from the grassroots. During the competition, we did not understand the rules, but we did not use any means. After all, this is a competition, and the purpose of the competition is to win. We just want to do better and win. Serve the best dishes to your most respected Majesty!"

"And His Majesty's reaction was indeed very satisfactory. He called us Yipinju over and asked carefully..." This incident has also become a protective shield for Gong Yue.

Some people think of His Majesty's shocked and satisfied expression when he saw the ten "golden elixirs".

If they destroy Yipinju, His Majesty will think of this again. How many cooks can make such a "golden elixir" that suits His Majesty's taste?
His Majesty ate ten of them in one go and praised them profusely and never forget them!
Gong Yue carefully observed everyone's reactions and gradually gained confidence, "What's more, there are no explicit regulations on how to do it. Everyone just depends on their ability. Some people may not be as skilled as others, and out of jealousy..."

Prime Minister Zuo raised his eyebrows, "What he said is quite reasonable."

The old man, whose hair is mostly gray, has a fair attitude.

But with a few words, the situation was brought back to a point where it seemed fair, but in fact it was already favoring Yipinju.

Realizing this, some officials became silent and did not dare to speak out again.

The second prince also said at this time: "Yipinju, as a restaurant founded in the capital, is now spread all over Daxing and has a great reputation. I think they will not be so petty and do such a shameful thing..."

This statement actually made some people agree.

"I think that since I was a rank one, I have performed well since I first came up and won His Majesty's favor. There is no need to do anything extra. Besides, the people who got poisoned and got into trouble were all personal cooks."

"If they want to deal with their competitors, they should attack Zuixiao Pavilion and Xianliuguan, but they didn't...are these restaurants not strong enough and don't deserve to be taken seriously?"

The more people talked, the more it made sense.

"Maybe it's because I can't afford to offend him and I don't dare to take action."

Suddenly, among a group of high-sounding voices, a clear female voice sounded.

There was a moment of silence on the field.

Everyone looked at the few women in the hall——

"It can't be poisoned by ghosts, right?" She said seriously, showing no sign of disobedience.

The eyes of the Prime Minister Zuo and the Second Prince suddenly became sharp!

Xu Mengxiao didn't seem to notice at all. He asked her to kneel here. She was very unhappy, okay? She had to listen to their nonsense!
For a moment, she even had a crazy idea. It would be great if she was strong enough to not need to kneel down to anyone.

What a beautiful and ambitious vision this is!

"According to your analysis, I can also analyze one or two, why do you behave so well and still poison..."

"That's because they weren't sure when they were poisoning. Some people may just lack confidence and want to take some crooked ways to feel more confident."

"Who knows what the outcome of the competition will be. Just eliminate as many strong competitors as you can. Am I right, big boss?" "Nonsense!" Gong Yue was furious, "You women, how dare you interfere in the crowd?" As an adult and a noble person, do you still have the concept of dignity and inferiority in your eyes?"

As soon as the second prince woke up, he realized that there was no sense of dignity or inferiority in this woman. The most important thing was that this Taoyuan Township...

If he saw it correctly, the figure that looked so much like that person yesterday must be from their Taoyuan Township!
Thinking of this, the second prince immediately looked around and didn't see that person. He didn't know whether he was relieved or more wary.

Xu Mengxiao was also a little angry, otherwise she wouldn't be so impulsive, and the more impulsive she was, the calmer she appeared.

It was also such a calmness that everyone in the hall felt that she was not respectful enough if she was not frightened.

But I have to say that her aura is really amazing.

Therefore, no one scolded her for such a trivial matter. Unknowingly, they had been influenced to regard her in a rather high position.

"Are you changing the subject? You can't explain the reason, so you start criticizing me? Isn't the key point now to investigate the case as soon as possible and give His Majesty an explanation? If you are unjustly accused, you should find out who is wrong as soon as possible. The real murderer, rather than blurring the point!”

Xu Mengxiao was very articulate and could tell the whole story. I'm afraid the defense officer and the foreign envoy were no match for her.

Prime Minister Zuo stared at her, and Xu Mengxiao immediately felt his pressure falling on her. If it had been before, she would have immediately become intimidated and just wanted to hide away and keep a low profile.

I'm too lazy to be timid now.

"My lords, please continue with the case and don't waste time on other matters."

Everyone came back to their senses and then realized, why did they do what she said?A woman...

But he is also incredibly courageous, even more so than many men!
"Everyone in Yipinju, if you are innocent, how can you explain these poisons found on your territory, and why your people admit that they did do it."

"It's unjust, sir! The common people didn't know anything about it, and now there's no way to tell them that they are innocent. But who they have interacted with, and whether they framed us, Yipinju, it's hard to tell!"

Because the left prime minister was in charge, Gong Yue became more courageous and his mind became clearer.

There is indeed direct evidence pointing to their Yipinju people, but are these people really poisoned by them?
"The common people have an idea..." Seeing that the poison that was supposed to appear in Taoyuan Township did not appear, and I don't know what went wrong. Although I was regretful, it was important to get rid of the suspicion as soon as possible.

"Not long ago, Chunfeng Gambling House secretly set up a gambling game, involving a sum of up to 10,000+ taels..."

Xu Mengxiao wanted to laugh even more when she saw that he really brought up the Chunfeng Gambling House. This Gong Yue harmed people but also did not forget to take revenge. He did have some tricks.

And what Yao Yuan said at the time was that his plan was divided into many steps. He was ready quickly in a short period of time and responded quickly.

But did he really not realize that every step of his plan was failing, failing, failing?

This matter is no exception, Xu Mengxiao smiled secretly.

After listening to Gong Yue's words, everyone thought for a moment and felt a bit suspicious.

But before the government could send people to the Chunfeng Gambling House in Huizhou to search and arrest him, the director of the Chunfeng Gambling House came to report the case with the banker who held the gambling game that day.

The person who was reported was the one who colluded with Yipinju's boss to bribe their Chunfeng Gambling House. He was involved in illegal gambling, operated in secret, and even placed a maximum bet of 1000 taels!

If they didn't know anything, would they dare to invest so much money?

If they hadn't cleared the obstacles and gained confidence, would they have participated in gambling? !
