The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

"Yu Hua and his friends didn't believe that the red muntjac was really poisonous, and they thought the wine would be a good base, so they ate the muntjac without worry."

Lin Rong continued.

"As for why they ignored the dissuasion of Young Marquis Zhou and Guan Chang and insisted on eating the red muntjac, it was because they wanted to provoke a conflict between Young Marquis Zhou and the King of Jin."

"what?"

The emperor frowned when he heard this.

"Just for this?"

"Yes, they said that the King of Jin did not allow Young Marquis Zhou to eat the red deer, nor did he allow him to send the red muntjac into the palace. He just didn't want Young Marquis Zhou to be in the spotlight again because of hunting the red muntjac."

After Lin Rongshen understood the situation clearly, he also felt that he could not understand the thoughts of those young masters.

"As long as they can prove that the red muntjac was fine after eating the meat, then it means that the King of Jin lied to Young Marquis Zhou, and Young Marquis Zhou vomited and had diarrhea after eating a piece of meat in Weiming Mountain, which means that the King of Jin poisoned him."

"By then, Young Marquis Zhou will definitely bear a grudge against Prince Jin and may even quarrel with him."

"They think that no matter who gets the upper hand in the quarrel between Prince Jin and Young Marquis Zhou, this incident will make Young Marquis Zhou depressed and angry for a long time, and he will not be happy in the capital."

"Yu Hua felt that this would be a way to avenge what happened that day."

"But who could have known that the bottle of wine would not only fail to help them detoxify, but would also make the poison worse faster and more severe."

Lin Rong said, "After I found the servant, he confessed under my interrogation that after the young masters died, he cleaned up all the wine glasses to prevent people from knowing that he had warmed their wine."

"But they had a little wine left, just the bottom of a pot, and he hid that, too."

Someone asked, "If he was afraid of being implicated, why didn't he pour out the wine and smash the jug?"

"Because, he didn't have time at the time, and he poured the wine on the scene, leaving wine stains, and smashed the pot, leaving fragments. If he took it out, it would be conspicuous and someone would see it."

"They also have a taste for drinking there."

"But we don't know if there was any special alcohol. We just guessed that they drank alcohol."

After Lin Rong investigated this case, he verified it several times bit by bit before sending the results up.

"That servant is the son of Young Marquis Zhou, and his identity can be verified. The wine jug he hid has also been found."

"Where?" asked the emperor.

Lin Rong said, "I dare not bring it into the palace, so I put it outside the palace. Your Majesty can also ask the imperial physician to test the wine."

"Call Tan Liang." said the emperor.

Soon, the wine jug was brought up and Doctor Tan was called in to test the wine.

There was indeed only a little wine left, less than half a cup.

Tan Liang carefully tested the wine in front of the emperor and all the officials, and finally came to a conclusion.

"Your Majesty, this wine contains cinnabar, and a large amount of it has sunk to the bottom. Several strong medicinal herbs have also been added to the wine. These herbs have the effect of strengthening yang and replenishing kidney qi. If they are used to soak in wine, it will make the wine stronger."

Tan Liang also found it incredible.

Originally, this should be an aphrodisiac wine, because it uses a lot of medicinal herbs. Drinking too much of it can even have an aphrodisiac effect, and the body will be energized, the heartbeat will speed up, and the blood will burn.

"If you drink this wine and then eat the poisoned meat, the poison will take effect faster. Cinnabar is also poisonous and bad for your health, so if you are poisoned and then drink this wine, you are really seeking death."

The ministers all started talking about it.

"So they think they're not dying fast enough."

"We have never heard of this wine in the capital. It has talisman ash added to it? Can we drink it?"

"Doesn't that prove that the wine was brought from Jiangnan?"

Lin Rong then said, "Your Majesty, when the relatives of the deceased didn't know they drank this kind of wine, I asked those families separately, and they also admitted that this kind of wine suddenly became popular in Jiangnan a while ago, and a pot of it was sold at a very high price."

The emperor's brows jumped.

"So, this proves that they brought this wine from Jiangnan themselves?"

Lin Rong nodded, "That's right. I also asked people to inquire in various taverns in the capital, and this kind of wine has never been seen in the capital, so this point can be proved."

"Although the cook felt that the meat sent to the kitchen was a little strange, he did not ask about it carefully. In addition, Yu Hua personally went to the kitchen to urge him to cook it quickly, so he was anxious and did not think much about it."

The cook is innocent.

"At that time, Young Marquis Zhou entered the palace, so we were unable to consult him on these matters in time."

When the emperor heard this, he felt somewhat dissatisfied with Zhou Muchiao.

Zhou Muchiao was not feeling well at the time, but he had to rush to the palace. Such a big thing happened in the mansion, which was more or less related to his failure to make proper arrangements.

With so many people serving him, why would Zhou Muchiao need to drag his sick body to perform?

The emperor couldn't help but think of what Zhou Shiyue had said before, that Zhou Muchiao was too eager to show off.

"Is Zhou Muchiao guilty?"

this......

Lin Rong said, "Your Majesty, Young Marquis Zhou really didn't know about this, but he didn't make proper arrangements after he brought Yu Hua and the others back to the palace. He knew that the red muntjac was taken back by them, but he didn't instruct his servants to deal with it. He is somewhat responsible."

As for whether he is guilty or not, it can only be decided by the emperor.

"So, the deaths of those people in Jiangnan were entirely their own fault?" asked the emperor.

Lin Rongzheng had already figured out the case, he just bowed and said nothing.

The emperor has a headache.

"Then let's put this result out there. Will those people in Jiangnan listen?" He looked at the prince. "Prince, are those people making a fuss?"

The prince took a step forward.

"Father, these people in Jiangnan are really making a big fuss. They are all clamoring to cut the murderer into pieces."

"The facts are now clear before our eyes. It was their son who sought his own death. Where did the murderer come from?" The emperor was angry.

The prince said, "They feel that this matter was caused by Zhou Muchiao and that Zhou Muchiao must be held responsible. Among them, the Yu family caused the most trouble."

"Where's Zhou Muchiao?"

Only then did the emperor realize that Zhou Muchiao was not there.

"Young Marquis Zhou went to meet those people today. He wanted to appease them in his own way."

"Then let him handle it first. However, the truth of the case still needs to be posted so that the people can make their own judgment."

While the emperor was busy with this matter, he thought about the Lu family's affairs again.

"Let Lu Ming come into the palace."

The capital city has been really busy these past two days.

There was a huge quarrel in Young Marquis Zhou's house.

These people from Jiangnan all stayed in the guest house of the marquis' mansion, but they would block outside the Dali Temple during the day. When the result of the case was announced today, these people were furious and could not accept it at all.

"You actually said that my son was seeking death!" Yu's father was furious.

They rushed back to the Marquis' Mansion.

Zhou Muchiao was waiting for them in the front hall.

In the middle of the hall, there were two boxes.
