Chapter 454: Pastry Poisoned
Princess Ruining was busy fighting with Ding Mi, and forgot about the fact that King Lu asked her to deal with Yan Huo, which made King Lu very angry. "Women are women, and they can't do big things, so they know that they are jealous."
The killers sent to Hunan have not been back yet, and I don’t know what the situation is. Now Princess Ruining can’t count on him. King Lu is really scratching his heart, "Has the palace been arranged?"
"I can do it tomorrow." The staff member replied.
"Okay." King Lu smiled. Tomorrow is Tang Luan's death. At that time, the prince lost his legitimate son, but he would not have time to bite him.
In the middle of that night, several masked men in black broke into Qiu's house. Mr. Qiu was slightly injured. The servants who were serving in the accounting office and five guards were seriously injured. One guard cut off one of the corners of the man's clothes while fighting with the man in black.
The piece of rag was nothing strange, it was just an ordinary piece of cloth, but there was half a logo on the rag, which was very similar to the logo on the clothes of the assassins who assassinated King Su.
Of course, Master Qiu Wu didn't know this, and there were actually very few people who knew about the logo and amulet. Princess Lu would know, but she tried her best to find someone to find out after spending thousands of taels of silver.
Although Mr. Qiu Wu didn't know that this sign was related to the assassination of King Su, a killer came to him, which was enough to make him frightened. "Report to the official and go to the government office to report to the official early tomorrow morning." Although he really wanted to report to the official now, he was just a businessman, without any official position, and he did not dare to disturb the official office easily in the middle of the night.
The next day, the gate of the government office had just opened and several yawning runners were still yawning, and Qiu's housekeeper reported the case. The prefect was shocked when he heard that a killer had taken advantage of the darkness to get into the wealthy businessman and almost killed the wealthy businessman. However, a wealthy businessman was not worth his personal visit.
At this time, Yan Tongming volunteered, "Sir, let Bei Zhi take someone to ask."
"Okay, then you go." The prefect thought Yan Tongming had a wink and said very well.
Yan Tongming took a few yamen runners to Qiu's house. When he arrived at Qiu's house, Yan Tongming asked Master Qiu Wu's case and got the rag with half a sign. Although he didn't know the prince and his team's plan, before sending someone to pretend to assassinate Master Qiu Wu last night, Yan Tongzhu showed him the sign and asked him to cooperate.
"Master Qiu Wu, don't worry, the government will do its best to arrest the murderer." Yan Tongming acted in an official manner.
"Thank you, Lord Yan." Master Qiu Wu said sincerely.
Yan Tongming returned to the yamen with rags, stepped back from his left and right, and whispered: "Sir, I'm afraid we can't manage this case."
"What's wrong?" The prefect was puzzled.
"Sir, look at the logo on this rag." Yan Tongming spread the rag, "Sir, I seem to have seen this logo on a case file in Dali Temple."
"When did you go to Dali Temple to review the case file?" The prefect's attention made Yan Tongming almost roll his eyes.
"Sir, it was the last time that there was a case to be handed over to Dali Temple. When I went to Dali Temple, they were sorting out the case files. I helped me and I accidentally saw it." Yan Tongming made up a lie.
The prefect believed it, "Then you should send this case and the evidence to Dali Temple to Lord Zhang."
Yan Tongming took his confession and evidence to Dali Temple.
Just as the prince and others were setting up a trap to kill King Lu, King Lu was waiting for Tang Luan to die.
In the imperial garden, several little girls were chasing Yaya and secretly brought the kitten into the palace. Princess Anle held her skirt and chased her, "Stop the kitten, stop, I'll give you the little fish to eat."
"Little cat, the dried fish is delicious." Yaya helped coax it.
Bao Mingzhu is relatively straightforward, "We don't have dried fish on our hands."
"The cat is cunning by nature. Without the dried fish, I guess it can't catch it." Liu Mingxi ran out of breath.
Princess Anle ordered the eunuch, "Go and find Xiaoyu Gan."
One of the eunuchs went to find the little fish to dry, the kitten jumped up and down, running fast, and the girls continued to chase, and then they chased into the side hall of Qinzheng Hall; the prince was not in the hall for something, and only Tang Luan was there to read the memorial.
"Meow Meow Meow" The kitten seemed to still remember the breath on Tang Luan, and ran to his feet and circled around him.
"Little cat, why did you come into the palace?" Tang Luan bent down and picked up the cat.
Princess Anle and others also followed in, and Yaya shouted sweetly: "Brother Luan."
Liu Mingxi said timidly: "Your Highness, have we disturbed you? Yaya, go and bring the cat over. What are you doing to bring the cat into the palace?"
Yaya looked at her for no reason. This person was so funny when he was teasing the cat just now. Why did he become disgusted again?
How old is Princess Anle? I could hear that Liu Mingxi was putting Yaya's eye drops in front of Tang Luan, and said lightly: "I asked Yaya to bring the cat in."
Liu Mingxi opened her mouth and took a step back.
Yaya walked over and said, "Brother Luan, give me the cat. It has disturbed you, don't be angry with it."
Tang Luan smiled and said, "It didn't bother me. I was just about to take a break after watching the memorial for so long."
"Brother Luan, the kitten is so smart." Yaya sat next to Tang Luan, chatting and telling him about the kitten's interesting stories.
At this time, a little eunuch brought in as usual. Tang Luan was teasing the cat, but he did not notice that the little eunuch who brought in was not the one who brought in every day. The little eunuch took out three dishes of pastries from the food box, and the closest to Tang Luan was a plate of green tea cake, which was the pastry that Tang Luan liked.
Tang Luan held the cat and was Yaya who brought the pastry. The little eunuch frowned, but he could not say anything and lowered his head and retreated. Yaya took the pastry and did not eat it, but fed it to the kitten, "I ran for so long and so far, I'm hungry, come and eat it."
The kitten loved to eat pastries because Yaya was raised. When Yaya fed it, it ate it. After a piece of pastry was taken, it suddenly made a shrill cry, which scared Tang Luan, "Little cat, little cat."
The kitten stretched straight and scratched his four claws hard, and immediately scratched Tang Luan's brocade robe. Tang Luan threw the kitten out in panic.
"Brother Luan, what's wrong with the kitten?" Yaya watched the cat twitch on the ground.
Princess Anle and others also surrounded her to see her. Not long after, the cat stopped moving. Yaya wanted to go over and hug her. Tang Luan pulled her, "Don't move around."
Bao Mingzhu picked up the paperweight and went to pull out the cat, but the cat still didn't move, "Yaya, the kitten seems to be dead."
"Who is dead?" The prince happened to come in.
"Father, Yaya's kitten suddenly died." Princess Anle replied.
"How could he die suddenly?" The prince knew that Tang Luan helped Yaya ask for two cats from the emperor.
"I just fed the kitten a piece of pastry, and it stopped moving, wow." Yaya cried.
