Chapter 65 Hand over the antidote quickly

The prefect's people quickly brought One Eye who was on duty at the city gate. She thought she had done something good by sending the scarf, so she happily followed the guards of the prefect's mansion.

As soon as she entered the banquet hall, she felt a sense of oppression, as if she was in an ice cellar. One Eye knelt in front of the prefect, "I have seen the prefect in my humble position,"

Looking at this unfamiliar one-eyed man, the prefect said with a gloomy face, "Are you the chief guard of the city gate? Did you give the scarf to Shi Chengzheng? Where is the antidote?"

"Antidote?" One Eye looked up at the prefect, then quickly lowered his head, "I don't know what you mean by the antidote. The scarf was indeed given to Mr. Shi by a lowly official."

Shi Chengzheng saw that she refused to reveal the antidote and cursed loudly, "One-eye, please take out the antidote quickly, you have tricked me."

One Eye looked at the prefect and then at Shi Chengzheng, wondering if someone had poisoned the scarf. Was the prefect's father poisoned? Otherwise, why would you use yourself?

The atmosphere around her was so depressing, so she hurriedly said, "Prefect, Shi Chengzheng, you two adults understand clearly, I really don't know what you mean by the antidote? I don't have any antidote on me."

"If you don't put it on your body, then where can you put it?" The eunuch glared at One Eye, "You are a very cool person. When did you join the job?"

She often visited various places and had never seen any one-eyed official in office. Why did a one-eyed guard chief suddenly appear?

One-eye was shocked. Could it be that he had been involved in a conspiracy? "Master Taishou, I have been here for some time. I have been on duty at the city gate before. Maybe you have never seen me." One-eye answered cautiously. .

"Shi Chengzheng, is that so?" The prefect ignored One Eye, but stared at Shi Chengzheng with cold eyes, who was directly under the leadership of the guard chief.

There were small beads of sweat on Shi Chengzheng's forehead. This one-eyed man had only been employed for a few days. She was a bandit and she even created a false identity for her.

Who would have thought that he had been tricked, and the scarf she gave him was actually poisonous. If it was found out, One Eye was a bandit, and his dismissal would be a trivial matter, and his life might not be saved.

She wiped her forehead and said, "Yes, Guard Chief Zhang has been in the job for more than a few months. He was promoted to Guard Chief a few days ago. Maybe you didn't notice her as a small guard before."

The prefect squinted his eyes and looked at the two people kneeling in front of him. He couldn't tell the truth from the false for a while. However, this was not the most important thing now. "Then, why did you give Shi Chengzheng a scarf?" the prefect continued. asked.

"Shi Chengzheng said that your father was celebrating his 50th birthday and wanted to give you a good gift. It happened that a distant relative of my family hunted a white fox in the mountains, so she made this scarf. I was thinking about such a treasure, It was very suitable for the governor's father, so he gave it to Shi Chengzheng." Duyan replied seriously, "I didn't expect such a thing to happen."

"Hmph! You gave a scarf to Shi Chengzheng, and Shi Chengzheng gave it to my father. As a result, my father was poisoned." The prefect said coldly, "Do you think I will believe you? Give me the antidote quickly. come out."

Duyan's heart tightened, "Master Taishou, I really didn't poison you." Duyan said loudly, "If I had poisoned him, and there were posts on the gifts, wouldn't they have been found out at once? How could I be so stupid? And I have no grievances with you, so why do you want to harm your father? The gift has been through so many hands, who knows what went wrong?"

"You said it wasn't poisoned, so it wasn't poisoned? No matter what you say, the scarf passed through your hands, you can't get rid of it!" The prefect said coldly. Before verification, no one could believe it. "Someone! Get the seal!" Take Pishit down and keep him under strict supervision! No one is allowed to approach!"

"Shi Chengzheng, please say something for your humble position. We understand each other as human beings." When One Eye was dragged away by the guards, he did not forget to shout to Shi Chengzheng to say a good word for her.

Shi Chengzheng was scolding her father in her heart. She had been dealing with One-Eye for several years. If her colleagues knew that she had been dealing with bandits, she would be dead.

The beads of sweat on her forehead were even greater at this moment, and she said boldly, "Your Excellency, Captain Zhang is right. The gift has gone through several hands. I won't be able to tell for a while what went wrong here. "

The prefect nodded with a smile on his face, "Shi Chengzheng is right, everyone who handles the matter is suspect, and everyone present is also suspect. Dear guests, I'm sorry, please cooperate with me. Check the gifts. Come, take out all the gifts. Li Wuzuo, check them one by one to see if there is anything unclean in these gifts."

As soon as she said these words, Jiang Qingchen became nervous. If gifts are handed out one by one and there are no more when it is her turn, what will she do?

She came empty-handed and had no invitation, so how could she get through it then?

Jiang Qingchen was sitting here eating and drinking in a grand manner just now. If she suddenly left the table, people at the same table would definitely recognize her.

I thought too simply. In the past, I could get rid of One-Eye by poisoning and framing him like this.

"Li Wuzuo, have you found anything?" The eunuch's questioning voice rang in Jiang Qingchen's ears.

Jiang Qingchen came back to her senses and found that the eunuch was staring at her, and the other guests were also paying attention to her reaction. Her heart tightened and she knew she had to come up with a way to deal with this situation as soon as possible.

"My lord, we have inspected all the gifts and there is nothing wrong with them." Li Wuzuo replied.

The prefect's eyes became even sharper, "Very good, now everyone at each table will prove that no one has left any table during the meal."

As soon as he said these words, Jiang Qingchen suddenly stood up and knelt down to the prefect, "Your Excellency, I have something to say."

The prefect looked at her without saying a word and thought to himself, is this person also an invited distinguished guest? Why have I never seen him before? She looked at Jiang Qingchen. The atmosphere around her became more tense. Everyone was looking at Jiang Qingchen.

They looked at each other. This person looked very familiar, but they had never seen her before. Could it be that she was a distant relative of the prefect's family? It shouldn't be. If that was the case, then she would definitely sit with the ordinary guests.

One of the people at the same table stood up and said, "Master Prefect, this woman has been away for a while."

The servant who pointed out Jiang Qingchen's seeds also pointed at Jiang Qingchen and said, "Your Excellency, yes, this guest has been to the toilet."

"Really?" Two cold words floated out of the prefect's mouth, and he said that the warehouse was opposite. In this way, this unfamiliar woman was really suspicious. She looked at Jiang Qingchen calmly, "What do you want to say? ,tell me the story."
