Chapter 246 Ghost
The guards who followed the prince had nothing to ask. Since entering Wuweizhai, they have been guarding outside the door of the elegant room to ensure that no strangers, including the restaurant staff, were allowed to get close to the prince. The servants also tried the wine and food they brought, and they did not respond before they were brought in for the prince and others to enjoy.
Things seemed to be very obvious. Those who had the chance to poison the prince were among the people who had a drink with the prince.
"Comrade Yang Xiu, Han Jinshi, Zhang Jinshi--"
The most famous of the few people is undoubtedly Yang Zhe, the top scholar who has been the princess but not the success, so Shangshu Chen saw him at first sight, and then there are the grandson of the Minister of War, Han Baocheng, and Zhang Liangyu, the son of Shaoqing of Taipu Temple, who has some impression.
When Shangshu Chen's eyes fell on Wen Feng and Li Lan, they were stuck.
A group of Jinshi who produced a group of people in three years can certainly be called the pride of heaven, but once they integrate into the court, they are inconspicuous members. For example, Yang Zhe, the top scholar, is currently only from the sixth rank. As for Han Baocheng and his men, they have not even been awarded official positions, but are just in the various departments to observe politics.
For Shangshu Chen, who was appointed as the Minister of Justice, it would be normal to look at Wen Feng and Li Lan.
"Student Wen Feng is currently in Dali Temple." Wen Feng bowed.
"Student Li Lan is currently studying in Hanlin Academy." Compared to Wen Feng's calmness, Li Lan's voice was a little tense.
Shangshu Chen nodded: "Wen Jinshi, Li Shuchang. Now please tell me about the situation today, and start with you coming to Wuweizhai."
The five of them looked at each other, and Zhang Liangyu spoke first: "I was the first to arrive. At that time, Your Highness was already waiting in the elegant room. Then I and Your Highness and I waited for others while drinking tea..."
"I am……"
Han Baocheng said with red eyes: "I am the last one. Your Highness joked a few times, and then he started drinking..."
"When a few people were drinking, was there anything unusual?" asked Shangshu Chen.
abnormal?
Several people looked at each other.
After a suffocating moment of silence, Yang Zhe suddenly spoke: "There is something abnormal."
This immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"What do you say about Yang Xiu?" Shangshu Chen looked serious without realizing it.
Yang Zhe was silent for a moment and reached out his hand: "I was attacked when I went to the clean room."
His hands were slender and fair, so the dark brown color on his fingertips was particularly conspicuous.
The people present immediately guessed what it was.
"Brother Yang is injured? Then why didn't you say anything when you came back?" Han Baocheng asked in surprise.
Yang Zhe frowned slightly: "Your Highness was in a critical situation at that time, so how could he care about this?"
"No, Brother Yang, Your Highness was fine when you came back, and you were punished to drink." Zhang Liangyu looked at Yang Zhe with a strange expression.
Yang Zhe was stunned: "Punishment for wine?"
Several people nodded one after another.
Yang Zhe frowned, and his clear eyes became confused: "But when I came back from attack, I saw something happen to Your Highness."
As soon as these words came out, several people changed their faces.
"Brother Yang, aren't you sobering up yet? You were fined for being late for coming back, and then went to the clean room. Your Highness had an accident when you went to the clean room." Han Baocheng wondered.
Yang Zhe's confused eyes returned to clear, and his tone was firm: "I entered the clean room after Brother Han. After I woke up, I found that I was attacked, so I went back to find you immediately. As a result, I heard the shouts when I went up the stairs and saw something happening to Your Highness."
"This is impossible!" Han Baocheng subconsciously looked at the others.
The other people looked at Yang Zhe with strange looks: "Brother Yang, Brother Han is right. Your Highness did something happened after you went to the clean room for the second time. Are you really drunk too much?"
Yang Zhe shook his head: "I'm very sure there is no such thing."
"Wait a minute." Cheng Maoming, who had been listening silently, spoke, "Since Yang Xiu doesn't match the words of a few, then you can tell me separately, see where the difference is coming from."
Several people looked at each other, and Han Baocheng spoke: "Then let me say it. After a few rounds of drinking, Brother Yang said he wanted to clean his hands. I just happened to want to go, so we went together."
Everyone else, including Yang Zhe, nodded.
"When I arrived at the clean room, I found that there was only one empty room. I went in first. After I came out, Brother Yang told me not to wait. Then I went back to the Yashi room to continue drinking. After drinking a few drinks, Brother Yang came back-"
Cheng Maoming interrupted him: "How long will it take?"
"About a quarter of an hour." Han Baocheng estimated and looked at the others.
The others nodded: "Absolutely."
"Then what?"
"After Brother Yang came back, we were trying to punish him for wine. He toasted us one by one. After a while-" Speaking of this, Han Baocheng paused for a moment and couldn't help looking at Yang Zhe, "Then Brother Yang went to the clean room again, and we punched each other, and suddenly something happened to your highness."
"Your Highness has also made a fist?" Cheng Maoming asked.
"Your Highness didn't beat the punches, just looked at us."
"How long is this time?"
Han Baocheng frowned: "It doesn't feel like it's been a long time, maybe less than a quarter of an hour."
Cheng Maoming looked at the others.
Zhang Liangyu and others nodded and agreed with what Han Baocheng said.
"That is to say, Your Highness did not drink alcohol while you were playing boxing?"
"At that time, I was only concerned about punching and didn't pay attention..." This was the answer between Han Baocheng and Zhang Liangyu.
Wen Feng did not speak, and Li Lan affirmed after a moment of silence: "Your Highness is just playing with the wine glass and not eating or drinking."
At this time, two people came in, one was an imperial physician and one was a coroner.
When he saw the two, Shangshu Shen knew that there was a conclusion and couldn't wait to ask: "How?"
The coroner bowed his head and said, "After checking, your highness meets the symptoms of poisoning..."
In fact, those who met the prince knew this answer.
Shangshu Shen looked at the imperial physician.
The imperial physician was shaking all over, and his voice was even more trembling: "The lower official tested the poison in His Highness's wine glass, and there was no other person's wine glass or food..."
No matter how much trouble the wine table is, everyone's wine glasses, bowls and chopsticks will not be mixed. There is no doubt that this is a poisonous killing against the prince.
"Let me tell me." Cheng Maoming looked at Yang Zhe with his eyes as sharp as a knife.
Yang Zhe looked calm: "I feel a little uncomfortable with my stomach today..."
At first, what he said was similar to Han Baocheng, but it soon became different: "I went into the clean room and was about to change my clothes. Suddenly, I felt someone approaching me. Before I could react, I didn't know anything. When I woke up and returned to the second floor, I saw everyone in panic and His Highness who had already had an accident."
"Brother Yang, that's the second time I've come back from the clean room." Han Baocheng didn't want to doubt his friends, but Yang Zhe's statement was too different from the facts they saw.
Zhang Liangyu also said: "Yes, Brother Yang, you were punished for drinking after you came back for the first time and had a drink with us."
Yang Zhe looked confused but firm: "It's really not."
"Then are we going to see a ghost?" Zhang Liangyu blurted out.
