"I'm telling you, your lord, these pig trotters were made by the three of us at the same time. During the entire cooking process, the three of us supervised each other, and no one had the chance to poison them!"
The three of them nodded at the same time.
One of them said again.
"Your Majesty, we have been cooking for you for more than ten years. We have been cooking for you since you were young. If you don't believe us, you can behead the three of us immediately!"
Chu Mobai said lightly: "Well, I believe you three, please retreat first."
The three chefs immediately stepped aside.
Then an aunt came forward and said.
"Your Majesty, I am Aunt Wang. The pig's trotters I cleaned for you, how could the old woman poison them? I cleaned each pig's trotters thoroughly, roasted them with a fire to remove the hair, and used a big iron brush to Rub the pigskin clean!"
"Old lady, I have cleaned tens of thousands of pig's trotters for you. Why do I need to poison your pig's trotters?"
Chu Mobai nodded again.
"Well, you should also step back first."
The remaining few people also talked about it and told Chu Mobai their reasons. Almost no one was hesitant.
In the end, there was only one person left in the whole scene, and that was Uncle Liu who went to buy pig trotters every day.
Uncle Liu spread his hands, "Well... Your Majesty, I went to the market to buy pig's trotters as usual. There is no change... If there is any change, the pig's trotters I bought today are a bit cheaper... It only cost Less than two taels of silver...this"
Just after he finished speaking, Uncle Liu immediately knelt down and said in fear.
"My lord, please have mercy on me, my lord, please have mercy on me!"
"The villain has only been greedy for one tael of silver... From a few years ago to now, the villain has only been greedy for one tael of silver today. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Uncle Liu was frightened.
He was afraid that Chu Mobai would kill the nine tribes because of this incident, so he quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
After Chu Mobai heard this, he only noticed the cheap pig's trotters.
It's obviously very possible that the problem lies in this.
he asked.
"First of all, why is it one tael cheaper? Who did you buy it from today? Didn't you buy it from the same company?"
Uncle Liu said quickly.
"This... we used to buy pig's trotters from a butcher's shop. If the prince wanted to eat them, we would go to the market to buy them early in the morning. We usually bought them from Butcher Zhang, but last time he spit on the stars. He spit it on my face...I was so angry that I refused to buy it from him."
"When I went shopping this morning, I passed by Butcher Zhang's butcher shop and spat at his butcher shop..."
Chu Mobai helplessly touched his forehead with his palm.
"Okay, okay, let's get to the point!"
Second Uncle Liu said: "Yes, yes, yes... I will go on and on..."
"After passing by Butcher Zhang's butcher shop, I wandered around several butcher shops. Later, a farmer in coarse linen told me that he had pig trotters at home and asked me to go to his house to get them."
"And he also said that his pig's trotters were one tael cheaper than mine, as if he really knew that I would come to buy pig's trotters every day, and then I went to his house."
Si Yin asked anxiously: "Tell me quickly, where is that farmer's house?"
Uncle Liu scratched his head.
"Well...if I remember correctly, I followed him out of the city. After leaving the south of the city, we walked two miles and arrived at a wooden house."
"The wooden house looks like it was newly renovated. His pig's trotters were hanging on the door. He gave them to me as soon as I arrived. It's just the amount that the prince usually needs."
"The villain was still wondering at the time, but in the end he just urged me to hurry up, so he bought it directly. Now he has caused a big disaster. I hope that the prince will not blame him. If the prince wants to kill, just kill me...
"
After finishing speaking, Uncle Liu started to cry directly, "Wow wow... If the prince wants to kill me, just kill me. Maybe I have an old man, a young child, and two babies waiting to be fed... Wow, woo...
…”
After seeing him crying like this, Qian Ruoyu looked helpless.
Si Yin on the side nodded towards Qian Ruoyu, Qian Ruoyu also nodded slightly, and then Si Yin immediately rushed out of the prince's mansion with several people.
"If you cry even a little bit more, the nine tribes will be killed."
When Uncle Liu heard these words, he quickly stopped sobbing and stood there, looking completely at a loss.
Chu Mobai glanced at Uncle Liu in front of him and knew that Uncle Liu might not have made any mistake intentionally, but the outcome of everything would have to be found out from Uncle Liu.
If this matter really has nothing to do with Second Uncle Liu, perhaps Second Uncle Liu can be released, but the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be escaped.
Everything will be known until Si Yin comes back with his people.
Less than half an hour later, Si Yin came back with his men, looking out of breath.
He came to Qian Ruoyu immediately.
"I'm telling you, Your Majesty, when I arrived at that place, I saw that only a wooden frame was left on the spot, and the rest of the place had been burned to the ground!"
"The wooden house was just burned an hour ago, and the ashes are still hot in some places. My subordinates searched for it for two miles nearby, but they couldn't find it!"
Si Yin looked very anxious, with a bit of disappointment on his face.
Apparently the poisoner was not found, which made Si Yin himself very unhappy.
Chu Mobai was the savior of the two brothers, and also promoted the two brothers step by step. Therefore, the two of them had nothing but deep gratitude towards Chu Mobai.
I wish I could repay Chu Mobai with all my heart!
After Chu Mobai heard these words, he frowned slightly.
This means that the clues have been cut off as far as the wooden house, and we have no idea who poisoned him!
But this incident also illustrates a problem, that is, Qian Ruoyu is innocent!
Thinking of this made Chu Mobai feel extremely heartbroken, because Chu Mobai had wronged her immediately and grounded her.
At this time, Butler Wang happened to enter the attic.
"I'm reporting to the prince that the princess has been grounded. I even sent some food to the princess..."
He originally thought he would be scolded by Chu Mobai, but he didn't expect Chu Mobai to say.
"Well, you did a good job, evacuate the people, and the princess's grounding will be lifted."
Butler Wang was stunned.
He had just arrived here, so the misunderstanding was resolved?
Seeing the large row of kneeling people in the hall, Butler Wang was also surprised, but he immediately nodded and ran back!
