Empress, run away, your drowsy prince is also reborn

Chapter 88 He knows the real poisoner (6)

After finishing speaking, he rubbed his fingertips on the edge, and unexpectedly rolled out some white powder from the edge:
"You see, it must have been put in, not when cooking, but on the dining table in a hurry."

Chang Sheng's eyes lit up, looking at those people lying on the ground.

The guard understood, clapped twice, and someone entered in response.

It was a gray-faced middle-aged man, dressed simply, who was pushed in by two guards, his face was blue, and he seemed to have been frightened a lot. As soon as he entered the door, he was kicked in the hollow of his knee and knelt on the ground.

The guard pointed to the sick family members at the table and the boy who just testified against Chang Sheng with righteous indignation and asked:
"Do you know who they are?"

The visitor nodded tremblingly: "Yes, they are from our alley."

"Then do you know what the normal relationship between the father and son is like?"

The man shook his head honestly and said: "No, not at all. Liu Si beat and scolded his father frequently, and the three of them abused this old man. Today, I heard that he was going to take his father to a banquet. I was very happy and went with him."

Everyone was silent, and the guests who had sympathized with the poor family felt like they had eaten fly droppings.

—— "It turns out that the filial piety just now is just pretending! Could it be that they deliberately poisoned the food, not to mention slandering the chef, just to kill their old man and mix up some compensation money?"

When Liu Si heard this, his eyes rolled wildly, and he reacted quickly, pointing at the man kneeling on the ground and cursing: "Stop spitting blood here, when did I abuse my father, I have a good relationship with my father!!"

The man kneeling on the ground seemed to have heard some big joke:

"Stop pretending to be mean here, sir, if you don't believe me, roll off his father's sleeves, it's covered in bruises, all of which were pinched and beaten by his family!! Their family has always been mean to this old man, and today they come here to poison the old man, I'm afraid it has a purpose!"

The guard stepped forward and rolled up the old man's sleeves, and it turned out to be mottled with bruises.

Seeing this, Qu Changsheng raised his eyebrows in surprise: "I thought I was a filial son, but it turned out to be a prisoner wearing a filial son's clothes."

The guard said from the side: "Bold and unruly, he dared to slander Aunt Changsheng, and even gathered people to make trouble and sow dissension. The emperor ordered to find the criminal and kill him without mercy!"

Kill without mercy? !
Liu Siyi panicked when he heard this, he rushed forward, regardless of Sanqi 21, and said in a panic:
"Officer, official, listen to my explanation!!"

"Hmph!" The guard tossed off his robe, not letting him pull it.

Liu Si came to beg Qu Changsheng when he saw that the official could not do it, and kowtowed to her three times.

"I have offended my aunt, I have offended my aunt! It is the grass-roots people who have no eyesight and believe in other people's slander! They also embarrassed my aunt, but there is a reason for the incident, please listen to me, aunt!"

Xuan Yue's pupils shrank suddenly, and her murderous eyes immediately cast their gazes at the defector on the ground.

Chang Sheng twitched the corner of his mouth imperceptibly, looked sideways, and Xuan Yue, who was next to General Li, had an extremely ugly expression.

She gritted her teeth tightly and clenched her fists tightly, for fear that Liu Si would say anything unfavorable to her.

Chang Sheng nodded to him reassuringly, and encouraged him:
"Say out loud what you know, verbatim in every detail, and I can deal with it lightly."

Li Si won the backbone and nodded again and again:

"It was that day that an adult came and said to let the servant do something, let the servant deliberately poison the food, let his father eat it, don't eat it, blame the chef after the poisoning, and reward Grasslanders pay a hundred taels of silver."

"A hundred taels of silver!" Chang Sheng covered his lower lip pretending to be amazed:

"Who is that person, what does he look like, do you remember?"

"I..." Liu Si paused this time, turned his head slowly, and looked at Xuan Yue.

"I remember."
