Chapter 348 Fishing in troubled waters
Chi Qiguang obviously thought the same way, sat next to her and surrounded her with his head resting on her shoulder, and said in a low voice, "I reminded them to check the bowls and chopsticks, the food boxes, the whole It’s best to go through all the cells.”

Ji Fushou leaned back and skillfully found a comfortable position in his arms, "But I guess we won't find any clues. Since Duke Lu has made a move, he won't let people have any traces unless he poisons him." people will admit it."

Chi Qiguang was not surprised, "Duke Lu probably never expected that the two people he wanted to kill did not die, but his own people died instead."

Ji Fushou smiled softly, "You're fishing in troubled waters, and you're doing it just right."

Chi Qiguang hooked his lips, "Thank you for your compliment, lady."

Yes, Chen Zhengxin and Li Shihong were under Lu Guogong's hands, and Liu Liangji was under his hands.

His people had been told by him a long time ago, and they had been observing in secret. When they came prepared, they found some clues. Following these clues, his people immediately decided to attack Liu Liangji as well.

Even Chi Qiguang has more evidence than Dali Siqing and the others. At least he knows that among the 36 jailers in the prison, four are from Lu Guogong, and the jailer who delivered food to Chen Zhengxin and Li Shihong is innocent. It's just that Duke Lu pretended to kill them, not only to kill Chen Zhengxin, but also to save his own people.

Chen Zhengxin and Chen Zhengxin had an accident at dinner. When the time comes to conduct a thorough investigation, the jailer who delivered the food will naturally be found first, but the food is non-toxic. Those two jailers are wronged, but they will be mistaken for them. The traces of the poison have been erased, and no matter how much they are tortured at that time, they will not be able to find out the truth.

If you can't ask the truth, it becomes a headless injustice.

On Liu Liangji's side, it was Lu Guogong's people who kept bringing him food, but it was his people who poisoned the food.

If Liu Liangji is dead, the jailer who delivered the food will definitely be traced to him. As long as the jailer can't insist on confessing to Duke Lu, Chen Zhengxin and Li Shihong's poisoning will most likely be caused by Duke Lu.

Because Duke Lu is the father-in-law of the eldest prince, it makes sense for him to help the eldest prince kill people and silence him.

Duke Lu certainly didn't expect that something went wrong. Chen Zhengxin and Li Shihong who were to be killed survived, and Liu Liangji who was to be protected died, and his people were exposed, which is more likely to involve the truth about his murder and silence.

When Chi Qiguang did this, he didn't hide it from Ji Fushou, and that's why Ji Fushou said that he fished just right.

"Do you think Chen Zhengxin and Li Shihong can survive?" Ji Fushou pondered.

Chi Qiguang casually said, "When I was helping the two of them with the medicine, I secretly gave them a detoxification pill, and they were able to hold their breath until the doctor came to treat them. If it wasn't for seeing if I could get a confession from them, I wouldn't bother to ask Doctor Si for detoxification pills."

The jailer who administered the medicine to Chen Zhengxin and Li Shihong happened to be one of his men. When he administered the medicine to them on the first day, he took advantage of their unpreparedness and secretly gave them a detoxification pill. They refused to believe it, and there was nothing he could do about it, but now it seemed that at least the two of them took the antidote pill in time.

Although Doctor Si said that the Jiedu Pill cannot cure all the poison, but after taking it, it can alleviate the toxicity, and it is still possible to wait for an hour or two until someone comes to treat him.

Chi Qiguang glanced at Kelou, and said softly, "It's getting late, let's settle it down. The prison is very lively tonight, and we should be able to get a lot of news when we get up tomorrow morning."

The Minister of Dali Temple went to see his confidant again, and when he returned to the prison, he went to the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and Doctor Yushi, and told his conjecture, "I see that the food is not poisonous, but it is impossible for them to miss it." Poisoned for no reason, I was thinking whether to move them out of their original cells and place them here, and let Lord Ling wait for them to wake up. As for their cells, let the Beiya Imperial Guards turn upside down and see what happens. Nothing will be found, Mr. Shen and I will watch by the side."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice nodded in agreement, "Then do as Master Fu said."

After working for a long time, nothing was found in Chen Zhengxin's cell, but a silver hairpin was found in Li Shihong's cell. Soak the silver hairpin in clear water, and you can see a little oily sheen floating out of the clear water.

Regarding this discovery, Dali Temple Minister pondered, "There are oil stains on the silver hairpin. Could it be that Li Shihong used the silver hairpin to test whether there is poison in the food?"

This guess was unanimously approved by the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and the doctor Yushi.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs was in trouble, "The doctor has already checked those bowls and chopsticks, but they didn't find anything. Nothing can be found."

Dali Temple Minister held the hairpin and looked intently, then looked down at the slightly oily water in the bowl, and said suddenly, "If it was you, you used up this silver hairpin to test the food, and you just put it in the water. Put away the silver hairpin, or will you wipe off the oil on the silver hairpin before putting it away?"

After all, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice has rich experience, and he had a flash of inspiration when he heard the words, "I know!"

He hastily ordered the Beiya imperial guards, "Go and search all the jailers to see if they have handkerchiefs or scarves on them. If there are any, bring them here and let the doctor have a look."

After a pause, he continued, "Check to see if they have poison on them during the body search."

But this is probably not the case. The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice believes that the person who poisoned him will not be so stupid as to keep the poison on himself.

Doctor Yushi slowed down his mind a bit, and he didn’t understand the charade between the two of them until the Beiya imperial guards left, “You think that someone put poison on the bowls and chopsticks, that’s why they got poisoned, and when they got poisoned, The person who poisoned wiped the dishes and chopsticks clean, erasing the traces of poisoning, so we have no clue?"

Minister of the Ministry of Justice nodded slightly, "The biggest possibility is this. Everything depends on whether the doctor can detect the poison from the handkerchief or towel."

They were gathered in Liu Liangji's cell at this time, Dali Siqing walked up to the imperial physician and Wu Zuo, and asked, "Emperor physician, can you know what kind of poison Master Liu has?"

The imperial doctor shook his head solemnly, "I can't tell, this is the first time I've seen such a weird poison. The whole person was poisoned without any abnormality, as if he was asleep, and his face was peaceful, but I guess, Mr. Liu's internal organs should be It has turned black. This kind of poison, I have to go back to the imperial hospital and discuss it with other imperial doctors to see if I can find out what kind of poison it is."

Wu Zuo also nodded, "To be specific, the lower officials have to disembowel and dissect the body to verify what the imperial physician said."
