All the Jingwu Sect disciples present could not sit still.
"How can it be?"
"Is the food Master eats poisonous?"
"Who dares to poison Master?"
shouted one by one.
Huo Yuanjia put down his chopsticks, pressed his hands down, and signaled everyone present to stop making noise. After it quieted down, he looked at Bai Gui and said, "Meihe, are you sure someone poisoned me? No joking is allowed in this matter."
The person who can poison him must be someone close to him.
In other words, each of the direct disciples of Jingwu Sect present may be poisoned.
If it is not resolved, this is a crisis of trust! It will immediately put everyone in Jingwu Sect in danger, and Jingwu Sect will also decline because of this.
"Yes, Brother Bai, I personally went to the market to select and buy this crocodile meat. There is absolutely no problem."
Huo Tingen said.
Everyone nodded, they would not doubt Huo Yuanjia's biological son.
"Xiaohui, you are responsible for the food and daily life of the restaurant owner. Have you found any suspicious people recently?"
Nong Jinsun asked.
Xiaohui is a female disciple of Jingwu Sect.
"No."
Xiaohui shook her head.
"Other than Xiaohui, who else would accept the restaurant owner's food?"
Nong Jinsun asked again.
As the owner of the hall, it was difficult for Huo Yuanjia to come forward in this matter. If he asked, it would hurt his feelings. However, he had no teacher-student relationship with the Jingwu Sect. With Huo Yuanjia here, even if it hurt his feelings, he would still have room for mediation afterwards.
"it is me!"
"All the food and drinks in Jingwu Sect have to go through me. I have served Master Huo for so long. Nong Jinsun, it's not me you are talking about openly and secretly..."
Uncle Gen walked out of the kitchen, tossed the towel hanging on his shoulder, slapped it on the table, and asked.
He is a veteran of the Jingwu Sect. Although he is said to be a servant who serves others, Huo Yuanjia is very kind, so Uncle Gen's status in the Jingwu Sect is not low, and he can tolerate some outrageous things.
"Uncle Gen, this matter is definitely not..."
Huo Ting'en was about to persuade him. Uncle Gen had almost watched him grow up.
But before he could finish speaking.
Bai Gui on the side said, "That's right! Uncle Gen, you are the one who poisoned me!"
"What? Uncle Gen? Impossible!"
"He has served Master for so many years, how could it be him..."
"Mr. Bai said this. Can what Mr. Bai say be false? Who knows whether a loyal servant will change his mind? The most unpredictable thing is the human heart..."
Some Jingwu Sect disciples questioned, but some Jingwu Sect disciples directly supported Bai Gui.
The identity is here.
Bai Gui had no reason to wrongly accuse a servant.
For people like Uncle Gen, even if Bai Gui beat him to death, Bai Gui would not be able to go to jail, and he would not even be interrogated in the patrol room...
This...is power!
Although it is said in "Laws and Orders of the Qing Dynasty·Criminal Code·Human Life": "Everyone who kills (called murder, killing for reason, arson, stealing and killing) a family (that is, living together, even if they are slaves and hired workers...)...(
The leader) shall be put to death in a hurry... and his property shall be forfeited to the deceased's family."
But in its criminal law, there is another article about manslaughter, "If someone kills or injures someone negligently... he will be redeemed according to the law..."
Therefore, even if the master accidentally kills a slave or servant, and directly informs the government of the manslaughter, he only needs to pay a certain amount of money to the family of the person who was killed.
The government will not sit idle and make decisions for its slaves.
In addition, Jingwu Sect is located in the British Concession. As long as someone has power and kills a person, the patrol office has no right to interfere.
"It's not me...it's not me..."
Uncle Gen shook his head repeatedly and explained while retreating.
He dared to be presumptuous in front of Nong Jinsun because Nong Jinsun wanted to take care of his old feelings and be pampered, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Bai Gui because he was just a servant.
But before he could retreat far, his retreat was blocked by Jingwu Sect disciples.
"Ting En, search his room and see what you can find."
Bai Gui glanced at Uncle Gen disdainfully.
He would never wrongly accuse any good person. Uncle Gen poisoned people in movies and TV shows, and he was not sure in reality. But he knew how to fish, and found an excuse to bribe Uncle Gen with a lot of money to poison him...
If you can endure temptation, don't be bribed, don't be poisoned.
This matter has passed.
But Uncle Gen was bribed by him...
After all, the allure of five hundred silver dollars is really not worth Uncle Gen's service to the Huo family.
With these five hundred silver dollars, if you go to the countryside, buy dozens of acres of land, and buy a few maids, it will be more than enough for the local owner.
What did the Huo family give Uncle Gen, just some "respect"?
only these?
Why should Uncle Gen not be tempted?
Even if this Uncle Gen is not tempted in the play, there will be another Uncle Gen who is tempted and rebels!
Blame, no blame at all!
Bai Gui put himself in his shoes. If he were Uncle Gen, he would be able to earn money that he would never be able to earn in several lifetimes with just a little inner moral condemnation. Not only would he be able to enjoy wealth and wealth for the rest of his life, but his descendants would also be able to change their lives...
A good deal!
What a great deal!
It's a pity that he is not Uncle Gen, he is Huo Yuanjia's disciple.
If you are disloyal at all, you should be killed!
Compared to Huo Yuanjia, Uncle Gen is nothing, he deserves to be killed!
"I didn't poison, I just didn't poison..."
Uncle Gen said confidently.
Although he had agreed to poison, it was not yet time to poison, and the poison was not ready yet.
"There's a bag of rat poison!"
Huo Ting'en quickly found a bag of rat poison from Uncle Gen's room.
"What?"
"There's no rat poison in my room!"
Uncle Gen was surprised.
"This is the evidence that you poisoned Master Huo's crocodile meat!"
Bai Gui said coldly.
"I was wronged, obviously I didn't poison..."
Uncle Gen was locked up by several Jingwu Sect disciples and shouted quickly.
"The evidence is conclusive. I saw you sneaking around in the kitchen and spreading this bag of rat poison into Master Huo's crocodile meat. I didn't expect that after such a test, you really wanted to poison Master Huo..."
Bai Gui explained the reason.
Many Jingwu Sect disciples present suddenly understood.
No wonder Mr. Bai knew early on that Uncle Gen had poisoned Master’s crocodile meat...
It turned out that I had seen it a long time ago.
"You wronged me!"
"Bai Meihe..., I am a lot older, what is there for you to worry about? You wronged me..."
After hearing Bai Gui's explanation, Uncle Gen, no matter how stupid he was, knew that Bai Gui was deliberately trying to frame him.
But he really couldn't think of why Bai Gui framed him. Could it be that Bai Gui was the one who agreed to poison him? But it's impossible. Huo Yuanjia's death would do no good to Bai Gui at all...
However, he did not dare to reveal the truth. He burst into tears and said to the Jingwu Sect disciple who was pulling and locking him: "He slandered me... Mr. Bai, you are wrong, you must be wrong..."
"Uncle Gen, everyone knows my reputation, Bai Meihe, and everyone sees it..."
"I spit and nail!"
Bai Gui smiled softly, "How could I frame you so lightly?"
What does power mean? Pressure from public opinion!
That’s it!
It is terrible to inflict violence on others, but if he is the one doing the violence, oh, then it will be okay!
