The strongest Marquis in history

Franco looked shocked, and said, "What does this mean, Your Majesty? Could it be that there is something wrong with the wine?"

Wang Qi said lightly: "Whether there is a problem or not, you will know it once you try it. Go, find a slave from your house, drink the glass of wine in front of me, and you will know the result naturally."

Franco ordered: "Rayleigh, you go and make arrangements."

"Yes!"

Riley walked straight out.

"Hold on."

Wang Qi gave an order.

Rayleigh's heart skipped a beat, but he still lowered his head slightly and did not take any action.For an old Jianghu like him, even if something happens, the mountain collapses before him and his color remains unchanged, without any change.

Wang Qi said: "Everyone in the hall is not allowed to leave for the time being. Maybe the person who intends to murder me is here. Of course, that may not be the case. In short, let's stay here for now."

Franco said: "Your Majesty is wise."

It's just that Franco still has doubts in his heart at this time. What is Wang Qi suspicious of?

Alcohol is poisonous.

However, this has not yet been proven.

Franco disagreed in his heart, especially since he had no intention of dealing with Wang Qi.What's more, after seeing Wang Qi's power on the shore of the ferry, Franco has no courage to deal with Wang Qi, and he has long been convinced.

What's more, Franco killed Zhan Pushi and others. Like Arthur, he had no way out and could only follow Wang Qi.So now Franco is absolutely loyal.

Wang Qi looked at Arthur, and ordered Arthur to bring someone to bring the slave, because Arthur must be loyal to Wang Qi.

Not long after, Arthur entered with a slave.

As soon as Wang Qi beckoned, Arthur poured the wine in front of Wang Qi directly into the slave's mouth.After drinking a glass of wine, the slave struggled a moment later, even screaming hysterically.

After a while, the slave lost his breath and fell to the ground with a plop.

Franco was completely stunned when he saw this scene.

How can it be?

It turned out to be really poisonous.

In Franco's heart, he was shocked by Wang Qi's power. He unexpectedly judged that the wine was poisonous.But more, it is frightening.Someone actually drank in Wang Qi's drink. If Wang Qi really pursued it, how would he explain it?

thump! !

Franco knelt directly on the ground, knocked his head on the ground, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, I never arranged for anyone to be poisoned. I swear to God about this matter. Even, Your Majesty, you directly control me, and I will tell you the truth. I Although we arranged for someone to prepare a banquet, we definitely did not do such a thing.”

As Franco knelt down, the rest of the Hercynian Empire officials also knelt down and begged for mercy.

They are all apprehensive.

Once Franco was killed, they could not escape the guilt, so when they all begged for mercy, they replaced Franco to defend.

Wang Qi looked at Franco, and he said in a deep voice: "Alcohol is poisonous. It's very simple. Anyone who has been in contact with alcohol is suspicious. First, it's your housekeeper. Second, it's the attendant who brought the wine. .Thirdly, the cook who is in charge of the food and drink in the back kitchen, and the person who guards the wine. These people are all suspects."

After Lei Li heard it, his heart sank, and he suddenly became worried.

How to do?

What if it is found out?

Originally, Raleigh thought that his plan should be foolproof, and it was impossible to find out the problem with such drinks.Especially with the premise of Franco's killing to prove his submission to Qi, Wang Qi should trust Franco very much.

It should be very easy to calculate Wang Qi.

But it failed.

Raleigh remained silent for the time being. After all, he was suspected at the moment, but no one could identify him.

Franco said: "Your Majesty, I will arrange immediately to bring all these suspects to the hall for interrogation."

"Go!"

Wang Qi nodded.

Franco turned around and went down to make arrangements. Not long after, all the attendants who participated in delivering the wine filed in, and all the cooks who participated in the back kitchen were brought along.

As for Rayleigh, he was also standing in the hall.But Franco didn't doubt Rayleigh, after all, Rayleigh was from his family.Even, Rayleigh watched him grow up, it is impossible to harm him.

Franco said: "Your Majesty, everyone has been brought here."

Wang Qi said: "Franco, you tell these people that my wine is poisonous, and someone put poison in it with the intention of harming me. Tell them that if they can't find out the suspects, they will all be dragged down and shot." , not one left."

brush!

Franco's complexion changed slightly.

He was worried because of Rayleigh, the only thing he cared about.

Because this is his relatives.

Franco sighed in his heart. He didn't dare to disobey Wang Qi's order, so he could only follow Wang Qi's arrangement and quickly explained what Wang Qi said just now that alcohol was poisonous.

Finally, Franco said: "Listen, all of you, now give me a careful memory, who may be involved in alcohol, who is the most suspected. As long as you tell the truth and check clearly, you can escape death. If you all The real culprit was not found, so they were all dragged down and shot, leaving no one behind."

Whoa! !

All the people were talking about it.

The expressions on the faces of each one were a little panicked and worried.

After all, at the moment, they are already on the verge of life and death, and if they are a little careless, they will be killed.

York was also in the crowd.

He is a chef, and he is thinking quickly in his heart.York was in the Hercynian Empire, had no family, and came from a humble background.But here in Baixiang Kingdom, relying on his status as a servant of the governor's mansion, he is quite popular outside, married a woman, had a child, and lived a very good life.

Now York didn't want to die, and he didn't want to die.

What if the child is dead?

York turned his mind quickly, and suddenly, York thought about the issue of Leili's inspection, and even Leili went to the wine cellar to inspect it himself, and he immediately said: "I know a piece of news."

Riley's heart skipped a beat.

The situation is not good.

Oh no.

However, the expression on Lei Li's face was still calm and composed.He just quickly thought about what to do next to avoid York's identification, otherwise it really happened, and he didn't know what to do.

Franco asked, "York, what do you want to say?"

Yorke said: "Before the banquet, Butler Lei Li personally visited the kitchen. Besides, Butler Lei Li specially checked the drinks and said to make sure there were no problems. I have no news about other matters."

Franco stared at Lei Li with wide eyes, and said, "Ray Li, what do you want to say?"

Raleigh said, "I didn't do it."

Franco said: "Rayleigh, if you did it, immediately admit your mistake and beg for mercy, and I will intercede for you. In addition, if you did this thing, it is impossible to deny it and escape. One thing, I can tell you very responsibly."

Lei Li shook his head and said, "My lord governor, I really didn't do it, how could I poison it?"

Franco turned to look at Wang Qi, and said, "Your Majesty, whether Lei Li did it or not, you can only verify the authenticity. After all, we have no actual evidence."

Chapter 1000 Kill Without Amnesty

As a housekeeper, Lei Li has always been an extremely cautious person, an old man with rich experience.So now, even if he is interrogated, Raleigh is fully confident that he can stabilize the situation.He is not a three-year-old child who will truthfully confess whenever he is interrogated.

Lei Li said again: "Qihuang, I can say with certainty that I have never done anything to offend the governor. I watched Governor Franco grow up since he was a child, and he is my family. How could it be possible to kill him? Even if the entire kitchen, and even the entire house, wanted to betray Governor Franco, I would not betray him, and I would die with him."

Franco was moved when he heard it.

To Franco, Raleigh is a family member, because they have lived together for decades.

Franco said: "Your Majesty, I am also very sure that Lei Li will not do anything to assassinate His Majesty. But no matter what, there must be an interrogation to contact Lei Li's suspicion."

Lei Li said, "Your Majesty, please bring him to interrogation."

The rest of the cooks all looked apprehensive, and everyone panicked.

Raleigh, alone, remained unflappable.

Wang Qi saw this scene in his eyes, he didn't take action immediately, but looked at Arthur and Robert, and said, "Arthur, Robert, who do you think will poison this time?"

Arthur said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, Lei Li is the most suspect. After all, he had been in contact with alcohol alone. Of course, he also has a motive for not taking action. So I request Lei Li to be interrogated. As for the rest, I can't see it for the time being."

Robert said: "Your Majesty, I think what happened this time is Raleigh."

"What's the reason?"

Wang Qi looked at Robert and asked.

He didn't expect that Robert's words were so firm, which surprised Wang Qi.Recalling the whole situation, Raleigh is indeed the most suspicious, but in the current situation, Robert is so sure that there is no interrogation. I am afraid that Robert has some evidence.

Or, some have a different point of view.

Robert said: "Your Majesty, there are three reasons for being humble."

Wang Qidao: "Everyone is here, in front of everyone, tell me carefully, what are your three reasons?"

Robert said: "First, all the people present and the officials involved, although they are working in Jieri City of Baixiang Kingdom, these people cannot interfere with the dining in the Governor's Mansion. They don't have this ability, enough to miss the Governor's Mansion. Under this premise, alcohol is poisonous, and I think the person who poisoned this time must be inside the Governor's Mansion."

"Secondly, among the people in the Governor's Mansion, those who have access to wine are mainly in the back kitchen. As York said just now, Rayleigh went to the wine cellar to check the conditions of the wine cellar and the wine. This point, He is a suspect that cannot be dismissed."

"Thirdly, the Haixi Empire has one of the most secretive things. That is, the emperor has a dark line. In the mansions of the various dignitaries and governors, there are eyeliners watching every move of the main officials."

"Under this premise, who is the most suitable to be the emperor's eyeliner? Only Raleigh is the most suitable."

Robert said: "If it's purely number one and number three, it's not too much to say that Rayleigh is actually suspicious. However, with the second point, Rayleigh went to the wine cellar specifically. Under this premise, Rayleigh can't Leaving aside my own problems, I conclude that it must be Lei Li, who is loyal to the Haixi Empire, so the poison must be dealt with against His Majesty."

Franco was a little surprised when he heard it, and asked, "Why didn't I know about this?"

Robert said: "Although you are the governor, in fact, you are not worth mentioning at all. Because my family was a general in the era, so I know the situation. Such a thing, if it is not a real big family, it is not worth mentioning. May know."

"You think Raleigh is the old man of your family, but how many feudal officials have come out of your Franco's family so far? It's only three generations old. Ask Arthur, he should know about this hidden rule."

Franco looked at Arthur with anticipation in his eyes, expecting Arthur to deny it.

Unfortunately, Arthur nodded.

What Robert said is an existential problem, not a falsehood. The successive emperors of the Hercynian Empire have special eyeliners to watch every move of the main courtiers.

brush!

Franco's complexion changed slightly.

He looked at Rayleigh, gritted his teeth, and asked, "Butler Rayleigh, is what Robert said true?"

Rayleigh's cheeks twitched, and he looked around. At this moment, everyone looked at him with a look of determination, and he could no longer justify it.

Robert's reasons are too good.

Even, this does not require another interrogation, it is enough to determine his identity.

If Rayleigh didn't do such a thing, so be it.In fact, he really did such a thing.Coupled with Robert's words, this is unavoidable.

"Hahaha……"

Raleigh suddenly laughed loudly.

Amidst the laughter, there was an expression of anger.

In the laughter, it was full of generosity.

After Lei Li laughed, he said in a deep voice: "Franco, His Majesty Augusta valued you so much, entrusted you with important tasks, and even promoted you to be the governor of a place, especially the governor of the White Elephant Kingdom. .But you, who are so soft-boned, surrendered to the Qi State. You have disgraced our Haixi Empire, which is too disappointing."

When Franco saw this scene, he felt helpless. He knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I didn't know people well enough to murder His Majesty. I am guilty, please forgive me."

Raleigh said: "Franco, you are so soft-boned, so disappointing."

Franco said nothing.

Raleigh said it easily, but Franco, doesn't he care about his family, his wife and children?

Wang Qi said: "Come here, drag Lei Li down and execute him."

"Yes!"

The soldiers at the door entered directly and went to where Rayleigh was.

At this moment, Lei Li jumped up and rushed towards Wang Qi's position.It's just that the moment Lei Li just made a move, Wang Qi's Ziji was running, and the purple light in his eyes disappeared in a flash.
