550: C550 Ding Country's Marquis Died La

C550 Ding Country's Marquis Died La

Loong Wangdian rolled up his tongue and his voice echoed in the hall.

Then he continued to play music and dance!

However, everyone stood rooted to the spot as if they had been possessed. They looked at him with an extremely terrified expression.

Wumei Marquis and Xiangjiang Marquis's beautiful faces lost all color as they looked as if their souls had returned to the heavens.

Loong Wangdian was stunned.

Although he was somewhat intoxicated, it was not to the extent that he was delirious.

The gazes of these beautiful girls in front of him made him feel afraid!

He asked in a daze.

"What's wrong?"

Just as his voice fell, Wumei Marquis and Xiangjiang Marquis's heart-wrenching screams rang out!

"Blood... Blood..."

Boom!

Loong Wangdian felt a buzzing sound in his head.

He subconsciously wiped his face.

His hand suddenly became shocking!

Blood!

His hand was filled with fresh blood!

"Ah..."

The dancers and maids all screamed in unison.

At this moment, Loong Wangdian's face was extremely terrifying, as if he was a devil.

Small potholes appeared on his face.

Blood kept flowing out from the potholes.

It caused his face to become hideous and terrifying!

Loong Wangdian was stunned.

He held onto the table a few times and suddenly stood up!

However, this action caused the blood in his skull to shoot out like an explosion along with the hole!

On the table, on the ground, and on his clothes, there was blood everywhere!

Loong Wangdian's body swayed, and everything before his eyes turned black.

His entire body was like a withered tree, collapsing with a loud bang!

"Dingguo Marquis!"

Wumei Marquis and Xiangjiang Marquis let out heart-wrenching screams.

The hall was in chaos!

Dingguo Marquis, who had just been conferred a new title by the Imperial Court and had performed a great service, had actually died!

He had even died in their residence!

Wumei Marquis and Xiangjiang Marquis were not stupid.

They naturally knew the seriousness of this matter!

"Kitchen!"

"Who's on duty in the kitchen today?"

Wumei Marquis shouted sternly.

The demons and devils of the Neichang asked them to host a banquet for Dingguo Marquis.

But now, Dingguo Marquis was dead!

How could they escape their relationship?

It was impossible just thinking about it!

"Yes, there's a problem with the kitchen. We can't possibly plot against Dingguo Marquis!"

When Xiangjiang Marquis heard this, she seemed to have grasped onto a life-saving straw as she echoed repeatedly!

It had to be said that there were a few talents among the maidservants and young ladies of Wumei Marquis Prefecture.

They quickly calmed down.

Then, they rushed out!

In a short while, these maids and young ladies had already dragged a fat woman in her forties or fifties back into the hall.

"Hou Niang, the one on duty in the kitchen today is the fat aunty!"

A maid said angrily.

This fat aunty was also an old man from Marquis's Mansion!

How could she do something that would betray her master?

The matter was already very obvious.

The dishes that Dingguo Marquis ate clearly contained a deadly poison that poisoned him to death!

Then, where did this deadly poison come from?

Other than the kitchen, could there be any other place?

"You slut, you actually dare to set me up!"

When Wumei Marquis saw the fat auntie, she immediately became furious!

She had an impression of this fat auntie.

Before she was imprisoned, she had even praised the other party for his superb culinary skills.

But who would have thought that this fat auntie would actually dare to harm her!

"Hou... Hou Niang!"

The fat aunty was clearly somewhat stupefied as she replied tremblingly.

Wumei Marquis's pretty face was filled with killing intent!

"Speak, who ordered you to poison the food?"

This matter was clearly instigated by someone.

Otherwise, how could a chef from Marquis's Mansion have a grudge with the dignified Dingguo Marquis?

"Quickly speak!"

"You lowly servant, if you dare to resist stubbornly, don't blame me for tearing you apart!"

Xiangjiang Marquis, who was standing by the side, also shouted with a stern voice.

The matter had occurred in Wumei Marquis Mansion.

However, Dingguo Marquis was invited by her and Wumei Marquis together.

If the Neichang were to pursue this matter, Xiangjiang Marquis would not be able to get away with it!

Therefore, in order to protect themselves, they had to find the culprit!

The kitchen maid in front of them was undoubtedly a breakthrough point!

"Inject... Inject poison?"

"I'm innocent, Hou Niang!"

"My whole family is working in Marquis's Mansion, how could I dare to do such a thing!"

The fat aunty was scared silly and screamed like a pig being slaughtered!

She felt wronged!

She was loyal to the Marquis's Mansion and her family had to rely on the Marquis's Mansion to eat.

How could she do such a thing?

She was not an idiot!

"Not you?"

Wumei Marquis was stunned when she heard that!

She also reacted at this time.

The fat auntie and her family of five were all in Marquis's Mansion.

Speaking of which, this family had also served Wumei Marquis Prefecture for several generations.

The fat auntie's mother had even served Wumei Marquis's grandmother and mother once.

How could this kind of innocent family child be so foolish!

"Stop quibbling!"

"Who knows, the thief might use the lives of your entire family to threaten you!"

Xiangjiang Marquis who was at the side sneered.

Wumei Marquis was shocked when she heard that.

In the next moment, her pretty face darkened as she shouted.

"Tell me, who was the one who ordered you!"

The fat aunty was scared silly.

She shook her head repeatedly.

"Hou Niang, this lowly one is really wronged."

"You also know that all the food cooked by the kitchen will be tried by people."

"Even if this lowly one really dares to poison, he wouldn't be foolish enough to directly play tricks on the kitchen!"

"Isn't he just cheating himself!"

The fat auntie was a bit logical. Although she was scared half to death, she could still calmly point to the core problem!

Wumei Marquis Prefecture's rules were still very strict.

Any food cooked by the kitchen would go through the test and poison testing stage to prevent anyone from harming Wumei Marquis's bloodline.

Hence, the fat auntie could not be so foolish as to directly poison the kitchen.

Unless she had already bribed the maidservants for the trial and poison testing procedures.

Or perhaps, she had long harbored the intention of burning both jade and stone.

But this was clearly impossible.

The fat aunty's desire to live was strong.

Moreover, the maids during the food testing and poison testing were Wumei Marquis's trusted aides.

A mere kitchen maid did not have the ability to bribe them.

Wumei Marquis and Xiangjiang Marquis were dumbfounded.

They originally thought that they could find a breakthrough point from the kitchen lady and find out who was the mastermind behind the poisoning of Dingguo Marquis.

But who would have thought that the clue would be cut off all of a sudden.

"Older sister, what my kitchen lady said makes sense!"

"If someone really did poison, it would be impossible to start from the kitchen!"

Wumei Marquis frowned and said to Xiangjiang Marquis by the side.

Xiangjiang Marquis heard this and nodded her head.

Now she also felt that the person who threw the poison had nothing to do with the fat auntie!2

"Two Hou Nians."

"There's also another evidence that can prove that this lowly person is innocent."

"If poison is thrown into the kitchen from the kitchen, then all the food will be poisoned!"

"But now, only one person has an accident. This doesn't make sense!"

As the fat auntie spoke, she glanced at Loong Wangdian, who was lying on the corpse, and said in a low voice.

When she said this, Wumei Marquis and Xiangjiang Marquis immediately slapped their heads.

That's right!

We ate the same thing as Dingguo Marquis.

Why is it that only Dingguo Marquis was poisoned to death, but we are completely fine!

This obviously has nothing to do with the kitchen!

"Hou Niang."

"You said that Dingguo Marquis's death due to poison might have nothing to do with food."

"It has something to do with... utensils or wine?"

A personal maid of Wumei Marquis reminded him in a low voice.

When these words came out, Wumei Marquis and Xiangjiang Marquis immediately seemed to have grabbed onto their life-saving straw again.

"Yes, yes, yes. It must be related to the utensils and wine!"

"Someone, bring the person in charge of the utensils and wine today over!"
