Chapter 131 (2/2)

Ji Chongde is a conspirator. His favorite skill is poisoning. He planned and ordered no less than 20 officials to be poisoned.

He has a special group under his command, called snake group, which specializes in poisoning and killing officials. Therefore, Ji Chongde also made great efforts to prevent others from poisoning.

Among his entourage, there is Yu Zuo, a poison expert of snake group. What Ji Chongde eats and drinks must be tested by the poison expert. It's not easy to poison Ji Chongde.

Li Huaide carefully smoothed out the details of today's drinking three times.

Ji Chongde didn't drink alone today. He invited three old scholars famous for writing hermit poems. The four were fishing by the river and singing poems for fun.

In the past morning, I got several poems and caught a basket of fish.

Then he handed the fish to a restaurant by the river. The restaurant slaughtered and cooked the fish on the spot. Everyone ate the fish they caught and ordered a few dishes.

Ji Chongde called some famous prostitutes to accompany him. The beautiful girl sang the new poem written by everyone, and the banquet was very perfect. These poems can be sung quickly. Ji Chongde's reputation as a rich and idle king can also be further recited because of this good story.

The banquet was very successful. The three old hermits praised Ji Chongde for his style of being an expert hermit. But unexpectedly, Ji Chongde was poisoned.

Ji Chongde ordered him to go down to investigate and control to see if the three old hermits were dead.

After a while, I came down to report that all the three old guys were fine.

Li Huaide thought about it. He ate wine and vegetables together. Why was Ji Chongde poisoned?

Suddenly, he remembered one thing. During the dinner, everyone ate their own fish. To say that only he was poisoned while others were not, the biggest possibility was that the fish he ate was poisonous.

He called Yu Zuo and asked, ”have you tested the fish I ate?”

Yu Zuo was startled and said nervously, ”Your Highness, what you caught is a live mandarin fish. You are humble and watch people slaughter and cook with your own eyes. It is impossible for someone to poison halfway.”

Li Huaide asked lightly, ”what if the fish was poisoned in advance?”

As soon as I heard this, I sweated on my forehead and said, ”how is that possible? If I poisoned the fish in advance, how can the fish not die? I tried the fish soup with a silver needle. The soup is not poisonous.”

Li Huaide glanced at him coldly and said, ”go check. Who knows I'm going fishing today, and then check whether there have been strange people along the river.”

I nodded and went out.

He was a little puzzled. Was the fish really poisonous? But isn't it okay?

However, the Lord ordered to investigate, and he could only take people to investigate carefully.

Soon, Yu Zuo sent someone back a message. Aunt Liu, one of concubine Jiang's mothers, took poison and killed herself. She probably learned from concubine Jiang that the LORD would go fishing today. When she saw the Lord coming, she took poison and killed herself.

Li Huaide sneered and ordered someone to search the old woman's house. Find out who she's been seeing in private lately.

In the evening, another group of people came back and said that there were two strange people by the river where the LORD was fishing today. The two men went fishing with a bucket. When they were seen to go, the bucket was wet and covered with a lid. A child saw them pour fish into the river.

Li Huaide then ordered someone to check the whereabouts and details of the two people.

At this time, it was nearly dusk. Princess Jiang took her son to see the prince.

Concubine Jiang, who was dressed like an immortal concubine, came in smiling with her son like a powder carved jade.

Li Huaide Khan, he didn't know how to deal with Princess Jiang and his son.
