Chapter 217 Reversal of the Case (Part 2)

There is a question about the authenticity of the princess in front of it, and there is a case of the bird's nest being wronged and poisoning the imperial kitchen.

Mo Xingle realized that these two matters were closely related. After reporting to the upper hand, the old case that had been finalized for more than ten years was restarted.

"Is there anything I can help?" A Yao asked.

That day, she rushed to the founding marquis' mansion, and the streets were separated by each other. There were endless pedestrians and cart vendors on the road. Just as she was about to cross the street and reach the opposite side, she was caught off guard and before she fell into the darkness, she vaguely heard someone yelling in anger.

When she woke up, the back of her head was aching. Mo Xingle smiled guiltily and apologized to her and said that she was anxious to come over. Her subordinates did not listen to the instructions, which led to accidental injury.

A Yao curled her lips, and saw that he sincerely apologized and asked her to invite her to the best restaurant for dinner, so she forgives Mo Xingle. When he heard that he asked her to tell her about the case of bird's nest, he quickly asked someone to send a message to Pei Shuo, and then followed Mo Xingle to investigate the case.

"You are a relevant person in the case, and you cannot be involved in it in general. But firstly, you are young, both parents died, you have a greedy uncle and aunt, and your ancestors lived in Jiangcun for three generations, all of them were white. Later, through the introduction of the eldest son of the founding father, he was able to become a disciple and learn skills. It can be said that it has no direct relationship with important people in this case. Secondly, you are familiar with cooking techniques and can be of great help to the current re-investigation of this case. Do you understand what I say?"

Mo Xingle explained to A Yao before handling the case.

How could A Yao not understand Mo Xingle's painstaking efforts? The chicken nodded like a pecking rice and smiled: "I understand, I understand, thank you Lord Mo."

Mo Xingle saw A Yao's gratitude and energetic smile. He could tell that she listened to her words, so he spread the file to A Yao to tell him about this old case...

Master Wangyue was the daughter of the poisoned imperial chef back then, and bird's nest was the daughter of Shang Chen who was implicated. In other words, Qu Yunhe's father, who was far away in Fuhai, should also be one of the people involved at that time.

A Yao listened carefully to Mo Xingle's words and thought to herself.

When a man was exiled and his female family was demoted to a lowly family, there might be someone in the middle who secretly or directly helped Master Wangyue, so she did not stay in Fuhai like Qu Yunhe.

"... On that day, Wu Yuchu made a hot pot of pheasant, chicken soup tofu, shrimp stir-fried spinach, green wine stewed duck, silver sunflower box side dishes, Su Yuchu was responsible for the sauce of eight immortal dishes, braised shrimps and celery, sauce of almonds, crab noodles, vegetarian roasted double winters, squirrel mandarin fish, bird's nest ham and duck shredded, Feng Yuchu was responsible for the pastry, including sticky rice cakes, small buns, dried rice meals, etc. "Mo Xingle read the bottom sheet of the meal, and was a little greedy, and after reading it, he changed the case and said: "Then, Concubine Xue said she had abdominal pain and died suddenly that night. Afterwards, she was tested by the imperial physician and was poisoned... Is there any problem with this menu?"

A Yao shook her head, "The menu sounds fine, and why are you so sure it's food poisoning? Didn't you try the poison with silver chopsticks and silver bowls or other ways, or let the serving meals try it? Didn't you notice that there was a problem at that time? You can use the portion to kill poison, so the person who tried it before should have problems first, right?"

She thought poisoning in the imperial meal was the most unreliable. Can the food the emperor ate compare with the folk? There are two people calling four or five dishes in the folk, so the emperor and the concubines can choose more. If there are more than a dozen dishes per person, you can't be sure that the target person will definitely eat your dish. What if you are lucky and become the unlucky person?

If you have to poison every dish, you will have to bribe many people. You have to test the poison of the utensils and the test of the serving meals. It is so troublesome, so hard, so much money, and bribes may not be successful in the end. Why don’t you just spend a lot of money to find a master to visit the palace at night and pry open their mouths and poison them?

"Silver chopsticks and silver bowls, you understand the rules quite well." Mo Xingle laughed, hooked his hand and asked A Yao to put it together, and took out one of the volumes from the stacked files on the table and spread it to a certain page. He swept his fingertips across a certain line and said in a low voice that only two people could hear: "It is true that after that retreat, the emperor placed them in the Dongshan Palace for offering food and clothing. According to the prince, he transferred the imperial kitchen, imperial physician, and several eunuchs who tried the poison, for fear that he would accidentally..."

He spoke quickly and his voice was low. Several times, A Yao almost didn't hear him clearly. He had to concentrate and prick up his ears. He broke his words and understood them in his heart. He had no chance to see Mo Xingle's movement of tilting his head and rolling his eyes.

"If the Dharma is not passed on to Liuer, you will forget it when you leave this door. This document is the daily notes of those people, which are recorded on it..."

"Stop, stop, stop, just say the content, I don't want to know its origin."

A Yao's legs were a little weak, and Yu Guang didn't dare to look at the file even more, but at the same time she was a little excited. This was the first-hand information from the previous dynasty, and she could actually get in close contact, so that under such a tangled mentality, she trembled slightly excitedly.

"Don't be nervous, it's up to you." Mo Xingle sneered, "The routine is that after the Sishen tests the poison, the imperial concubine will eat again. There was no abnormality at that time, and the fruit was cherry. After dinner, Concubine Xue said abdominal pain. After the imperial physician arrived, the imperial concubine died."

"…Wait? After dinner? Did you just read lunch?" A Yaozhi extinguished.

"Yes, there is no record above." Mo Xingle spread his hands.

"So when convicting, is it convicted based on the lunchtime meal?" A Yao was incredible.

Mo Xingle frowned: "I flipped through the files, and the daily notes and meal base sheets did not mention the content about dinner."

A Yao helped to move the pen, ink, paper and inkstone so that Mo Xingle could spread the files and books to prevent his ink from getting busy and letting the ink get important information.

For a moment, there was only the rustling sound of paper turning pages in the room.

"Strange, there is really not..." After a while, Mo Xingle frowned and scratched his head in trouble, speeding up the speed of flipping the book.

A Yao stood aside, not daring to breathe, and not causing trouble, just to give Mo Xingle the best help.

"Well, the conviction is this - 'testing of toxins in the shad'. This is the verdict at that time. There is a record that says, 'In the small banquet of Mingyue Pine Forest Pavilion, drink rose dew, taste shad, Luohanzhai, tuberose jade soup, fried jade spring sticks, and several kinds of fruit and pastries. Xue Fei prefers peach soup, saying that the fairy peach soup tastes delicious, the peach mud juice is thick, and it is even more amazing to pour on rose braised rice. However, I think the peach soup has less sugar and is more sour, which is a pity...' According to the conviction and this record, Xue Fei and Xue Guifei in the record should be the same person."

A Yao nodded.

She still finds something strange.
