Chapter 50 The truth comes to light
The woman was stunned, thought for a moment, and slowly spoke, "He went out around 3:45 pm. I was going to go with him, but I suddenly had something to do and didn't want to go. My husband asked me to wait at home, and then he went by himself! I saw him around 2:45 pm..."

As she spoke, the woman began to sob again.

"That's right! The deceased left home at 3:15 pm on the evening of the twentieth century and returned home at 2:15 pm on the evening of the twelfth century. Excluding the time spent on the journey, there is only about one hour left! And this time is only enough to prepare the medicinal food!" Bai Qianxi spoke word by word. Her words were calm, but they could calm people's hearts.

"This..." The troublemaker was speechless for a moment. Before he could open his mouth, Bai Qianxi glanced at him lightly and continued.

"You might say that he could have eaten something else while waiting!" Bai Qianxi smiled, which made people feel creepy. "Unfortunately, our herbal medicine shop records customers' orders in great detail in order to understand their preferences in more detail!
Xiao Qi, last night's order record book!"

Bai Wangqi quickly handed a notebook to Bai Qianxi.

"Here is the bill for everyone who ordered the Cordyceps and Golden Chicken dish last night. Apart from those who made a reservation in advance, only one person ordered this dish on the spot last night. So Xiao An, who is in charge of taking orders on the first floor, remembers it very clearly!" Bai Wangqi said, and then called Xiao An over.

Although Xiao An was afraid of this kind of occasion, those who could work in the herbal medicine shop had all been trained in advance by Bai Qianxi, so he was not timid. After greeting a few people, he spoke!
"Because this dish takes a long time to cook, I specifically asked if he wanted to wait, but he said he would, but he didn't order anything else, so I didn't ask any more. However, the dish comes with soup, so you have to bring your own lunch box. When packing, I remember clearly that he brought a bamboo lunch box with a big-headed doll carved on it. The workmanship was very unique!"

After Xiao An finished speaking, Bai Qianxi looked at the woman and asked softly, "Miss, do you know this food box?"

"It's mine...it's mine! He is good at carpentry and always likes to make things like this. The big-headed doll was carved by him to make me happy because we wanted to have a child! My husband..." The woman cried more sadly and knelt on him, which made people sigh.

Bai Qianxi's eyes were sharp and she had already made up her mind.

She naturally wouldn't investigate in advance what dishes the man ordered, but what she knew was the woman's first words.

'She and her husband have a very good relationship, and every time he goes out, he always brings back food!'

With such feelings, when a new type of food like medicinal food comes out, how can a man eat it alone and pack it up after eating! He must want to enjoy it with his lover!
She is not a god and cannot calculate every step, but she understands human nature and emotions better!

Sure enough, everything developed according to her guess and did not disappoint her!

Ye Beiyi looked at Bai Qianxi who was standing beside the corpse. The woman looked calm but seemed to be in control of everything. She was bright and confident, as if she was sparkling. His dark and deep eyes reflected her silhouette and he was deeply immersed in it.

"Does Lord Zheng have anything else to say now?" Bai Qianxi's cold voice interrupted Ye Beiyi's thoughts.

Zheng Zheng was flustered, but he still forced himself to stay alert and said with a smile, "It seems that this is all a misunderstanding. Maybe this person ate something else, but it has nothing to do with the herbal medicine shop. After returning, I will write a letter of clarification to clear Boss Bai's name!"

"It seems that Lord Zheng still believes that the deceased died of poisoning. Then there is only one last solution -

Please ask the Third Prince to summon a royal doctor to perform an autopsy on the deceased to see if he was poisoned! If that happens, this coroner will probably not just be imprisoned! "

"......" Upon hearing this, the coroner's eyes widened and he knelt on the ground with a thump. "No... it's none of my business, Lord Zheng... Lord Zheng, I did what you said. You must save me!"

"Asshole! What nonsense are you talking about!" Zheng Zheng kicked the coroner away, angry and panicked. He knelt in front of Ye Beiyi and explained in panic, "Your Highness, don't bother with my business. This coroner must be trying to get away with it, so he blames me! I was also deceived by this coroner!" Ye Beiyi's expression was cold, his eyes fixed on Zheng Zheng, and he suddenly said, "Sir Zheng, as a parent official, not only is he slow in action, he arrived an hour after the incident, and he still can't distinguish right from wrong. Then you should not be an official.

Come, take off Zheng Zheng's clothes and put him in jail to wait for his punishment! As for this coroner, he tried to lie to conceal the truth. He should be flogged fifty times at the city gate to serve as a warning to others!

Upon hearing this, the coroner was so frightened that he fainted and was taken away.

When Zheng Zheng saw this, he shouted in panic.

"No...what are you doing! You can't do this. After all, I am an official of the court. Even if you are a prince, you have no right to do this!"

Ye Beiyi raised the corners of his lips coldly and said, "As long as this is what I want to do, I can just kill you!!"

"You... aren't you afraid of the emperor's blame? You are just a prince without military power and out of favor! I want to see the prime minister!"

"Don't worry, you will see it!" Ye Beiyi said, waving his hand, and Zheng Zheng, who had been shouting, was taken away.

The air suddenly became quiet. Seeing this, the people who led the riot became like quails, shrinking their necks and trying to leave quietly. However, they were stopped by the servants from the herbal medicine shop led by Bai Wangqi.

Several people were so scared that they immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Please spare our lives, Your Highness. We just passed by and encountered the deceased yesterday and helped him. It really has nothing to do with us!"

"How do you want to deal with it!" Ye Beiyi looked at Bai Qianxi.

Bai Qianxi watched as they kept kowtowed and confessed their crimes, but she showed no sympathy at all. She said loudly, "All the losses of the herbal medicine shop today! Anyone who participated in the destruction must pay back or clean up the mess! If they cannot do so, please let Your Highness make the decision. I will sue them!"

"Compensate! I will definitely compensate!"

"Boss Bai, please don't sue me! I broke an egg and I will clean it up!"

"Yes, yes, yes. I will ask someone to make another plaque tomorrow and hang it up for Boss Bai. I hope you can show some mercy and not sue me. I don't want to go to jail!"

Naturally, no one wanted to get involved in a lawsuit, and they all spoke with sincere attitudes. The people kneeling on the ground also nodded one after another. Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, they heard Bai Qianxi speak again.

"As for you guys, you intentionally incited everyone, and your purpose is not pure. If you are willing to give out the person behind it and give corresponding compensation, I am willing to forgive you!"

"......" Everyone hesitated for a moment, but seeing Ye Beiyi's gloomy face, they were immediately frightened and quickly spoke, "We only know that it is a girl. She is wearing a bamboo hat and we can't see her face clearly. She gave us silver and asked us to incite everyone! Please forgive us, Boss Bai. We are just bewildered. We were found early in the morning and asked to say a few words. We didn't think much about it and agreed!"
