Chapter 408 Do You Call Leaving the Xiao Family Escape?
Qingdong City.
Prefect's Mansion.
Xiao Ming, Xiao Luomu and Xiao Luoyan were kneeling obediently in front of the official case in the government office. Xiao Luofeng had the title of general and was designated by Huang Zhen to assist the investigation, so there was no need to kneel in the courtroom.
Huang Zhen sat behind the public case, listening to Xiao Ming and the other three describing the situation with serious expressions.
There were nine minor officials standing on each side of the court, holding their killing sticks vertically in both hands, adding to the majestic and solemn atmosphere.
Snapped!
Huang Zhen slapped the gavel hard. Xiao Luomu and Xiao Luoyan were okay, but Xiao Ming shook back in shock.
"According to your opinion, Xiao Tian's poisoning has nothing to do with you?"
Xiao Luomu said calmly: "I only regret that I was not the one who was poisoned. It was unfilial to fail to protect my father from the disaster."
Xiao Luoyan kowtowed to Huang Zhen, leaned over and said, "Uncle is the person I respect the most, and I will never harm him!"
Both juniors expressed their opinions. Xiao Ming sighed and said coyly: "I really don't understand. The eldest brother is so kind to his servants on weekdays, why would Xu Fu poison him?"
Huang Zhendao: "Xu Fu hasn't been brought to justice yet, so it's not certain whether he poisoned him or not."
Xiao Mingdao: "When Xu Fu was in a hurry to leave, none of us thought of this, but after being reminded by Huang Taishou, the more we thought about it, the more something was wrong. Xu Fu had served his eldest brother for more than ten years. Even if he was sad and wanted to leave, he should wait until the funeral was over.
Yes. The more anxious he is, the more it proves that he is guilty."
"In my opinion, it must be him without a doubt." Xiao Mingxu clenched his fist.
At this moment, Xiao Ming had no choice but to blame Xu Fu.
After all, in his heart, Xu Fu was already a dead man.
A dead person can't argue, and it can be said that he committed suicide out of fear of sin.
However, Xiao Ming was still a little uneasy. After all, when he was on the mountain, he saw Zhao Cheng ordering his subordinates to leave, presumably to find Xu Fu.
But, I shouldn’t be able to catch up, right?
Thinking of this, Xiao Ming glanced sideways at Xiao Luoyan, feeling extremely depressed.
When Xu Fu left, Xiao Luoyan insisted on sending someone to escort his family to Hainei City because Xu Fu was an old man of the Xiao family.
In fact, Xiao Ming knew very well that his son did not care about Xu Fu, he was clearly taking special care of his daughter.
Otherwise, can Xu Fu be allowed to return to Hainei City?
They should have been killed in the wilderness a long time ago!
Son, if Xu Fu had not died, you would have cheated your father!
Huang Zhendao: "Boss Xiao, there is no need to make a conclusion prematurely. We will wait until Xu Fu comes."
Xiao Ming asked: "What about us now?"
Huang Zhendao: "Go home and stay. I will arrange for people to temporarily seal off the Xiao family. Please don't go out. I will suffer for a few days."
"No grievance, no grievance!" Xiao Ming's attitude was extremely cooperative and said: "Prefect Huang is doing business, and we will fully cooperate with him."
Huang Zhen waved his hands and was about to stand up.
At this time, a voice came from outside the court: "No need to feel aggrieved, the person has already been brought!"
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Wu and Heng Wenhao walked in with a group of people, including Xu Fu's family, and several killers with dusty faces.
Zhao Cheng, Xu An, Yuan Fei and others followed and stopped at the end of the courtroom.
Huang Zhen stood up and said, "Give me a seat for the Prince Consort and the Young Marquis!"
Zhao Cheng waved his hand and said: "Master Huang, don't worry about us. Xu Fu is already here. Let's review the case quickly!"
Huang Zhen cupped his fists at Zhao Cheng, then sat down and slapped the gavel hard.
Snapped!
"Who is this person?!"
Xu Fu immediately knelt down and said loudly: "Little Xu Fu is the cook of the Xiao family!"
Xiao Ming's body could no longer hold his knees any longer. When he saw Xu Fu coming in, his body went limp. When he saw those killers again, it suddenly became difficult to breathe.
Huang Zhen took in Xiao Ming's changes completely, ignored him, and continued to examine the case: "Xu Fu, I heard that you are responsible for Xiao Tian's diet?"
Teacher Xu Fu nodded obsequiously and said: "Yes, I have been responsible for the master's diet for more than ten years."
"How good is Xiao Tian to you?"
"Very good! Not only is he good to me, but I also take good care of my wife and daughter!"
"Then after Xiao Tian died, why did you leave immediately without waiting until the funeral to see him off?"
"That's because... because..." Xu Fu's chest heaved violently, and he lowered his head and said, "I suspected that the master's death was strange, and he had no choice but to escape because he was afraid of setting himself on fire and harming his wife and daughter!"
Huang Zhen raised the corner of his mouth and said, "You call leaving the Xiao family an escape?"
"yes!"
"Why do you say that?"
"I have a small suspicion that the master's death is related to his diet!"
Huang Zhen leaned back. Xu Fu's attitude made it easy for him to interrogate him. He deliberately slowed down the pace, leaving Xu Fu breathing time to recall, and said: "Your suspicion is correct. We conducted an autopsy on Xiao Tian and the conclusion is that
Xiao Tian’s chronic poisoning caused a pancreatic fistula attack. The problem lies in the diet you arranged for Xiao Tian. Either the diet conflicts with Xiao Tian’s usual medications, or the food is poisonous!"
Xu Fu immediately kowtowed and said: "Even if you give me a hundred courages and ten thousand courages, I still won't dare to poison the master!"
Huang Zhen immediately picked up the pace again and asked quickly: "That means you deliberately chose ingredients that conflict with the medicine, causing toxins to accumulate in Xiao Tian's body over time!"
Xu Fu complained: "You are just a cook, how can you know this? I have been serving the master for more than ten years. As long as the master doesn't ask what he wants to eat, every day the dishes are arranged in a small way, and I have been eating for many years."
It’s okay. But…”
As he said that, Xu Fu glanced at Xiao Ming, and then said: "Three years ago, the second master gave me a menu and asked me to choose a few dishes on the menu to cook for him every other day. He said that these are the dishes that the master has made since he was a child.
My favorite dish since I was a kid. I thought the second master was taking care of me so that I could please him, so I didn’t think much about it.”
Snapped!
Huang Zhen patted the gavel again and asked, "Nonsense! Since you didn't think much about it, why did you suspect that Xiao Tian's death was related to his diet?"
"Yes...it was Mr. Luo Yan who reminded me."
Xiao Luoyan was a little confused, pointed at his nose and asked: "Me? Did I say that?"
Xu Fu nodded to Xiao Luoyan and said: "You didn't tell me personally, Mr. Luo Yan. It was once when you were eating, you were chatting with others about the conflict between food ingredients and medicines, and I happened to hear it. And Qia Qia
In the example you gave, there are ingredients from Mr. Er’s menu.”
Huang Zhen asked: "Xiao Luoyan, why do you know this?"
Xiao Luoyan said frankly: "My mother understands. She often tells me and my father not to eat randomly when taking medicine, and not to eat different foods randomly... Listen, I will understand..."
Huang Zhendao: "So, your father also knows about it, right?"
Xiao Luoyan was stunned and looked at Xiao Ming in shock.
"Dad, is it you?"
"What are you talking about? Are you going to kill your father?!" Xiao Ming suddenly became furious.
"Stop pretending, Boss Xiao." Zhao Cheng, who had been watching, said, "The killers you hired haven't spoken yet. Why are you so anxious?"
