Everyone walked around the house and soon came to a dilapidated small hut.
This place is the pigsty of the inn, and there are two pigs, one big and one small.
Before they even got close, everyone smelled the stench emanating from the pigsty. Deputy Ambassador Lu Bol immediately covered his mouth and nose with his hands and frowned slightly.
Although Ahhudala did not cover his nose, he secretly held his breath, unwilling to inhale the polluted air too much.
Chai Yan looked normal, turned around, took a torch from the person accompanying him, and then walked towards the pig pen.
Xing Weiming followed Chai Yan closely. He wanted to know what was happening to the two pigs now, because there was no sound in the pig pen, which made him a little uneasy.
Ahudala said to his entourage: "You also go over and have a look..."
The follower nodded immediately and quickly chased after him.
As for Ahudala and Lubol, they were just waiting in the distance.
After the three of them came to the fence of the pig pen, Chai Yan stretched out his torch and looked inside, and found that both pigs were lying on their sides on the ground, motionless.
"The pig is dead!" The attendant was shocked and blurted out.
Lu Bol, who was behind, was also shocked: "Dead?"
Ahudala hurriedly asked: "Look carefully, are you really dead?"
Xing Weiming disagreed with his entourage, and immediately shook his head and shouted: "Not dead, not dead, don't listen to his nonsense! The pigs fell asleep when they were full. Look, their bellies are still moving!"
The attendant took a closer look by the light of the torch, and sure enough, the bellies of the two pigs were rising and falling.
"Second Prince, Deputy Ambassador, you are not dead. The pig is still alive. He must have fallen asleep. I was mistaken." The attendant quickly reported back.
Lu Bol was worried and said: "Master Chai, I think we should wake up the pigs and let them run around. Otherwise, how can we tell whether they have been stunned by poison or whether they are really asleep?"
Chai Yan was checking the pig's trough. Hearing Lu Bol's words, he felt it was necessary, so he said to Xing Weiming: "Xing Yichen, go wake up the pigs and let them run around. Everyone must see clearly.
Already."
"Okay!" Xing Weiming agreed readily.
Then, Xing Weiming entered the pig pen and woke up the sleeping pigs in a few moments.
Next, the two pigs were driven out of the pigsty by Xing Weiming, and they started running in the open space in front of the pigsty in the middle of the night.
When Xing Weiming saw the two pigs running happily, he immediately shouted: "Master Chai, look at how energetic they are. They are not poisoned at all!"
Chai Yan observed carefully for a while and saw that the mental state of the two pigs was indeed very normal, so he said: "Second Prince, Deputy Envoy, you have all seen that the pigs are in very good condition and there are no signs of poisoning!"
Lu Bol questioned: "Master Chai, how are you sure that these two pigs ate our leftovers?"
Chai Yan said: "I checked just now and almost all the leftovers in the pig pen trough have been eaten. In other words, there should be no poison in the food!"
"Here, take a look, take a good look, you've finished eating everything, only a little bit of dregs is left..."
Xing Weiming on the side was afraid that the people in Muyue Kingdom would not believe it, so he deliberately dragged the trough out of the pig pen and placed it in front of Ahudala and Lubol.
Lu Bol couldn't stand the sour smell emanating from the food trough, so he immediately frowned and waved his hands: "Take it away, put it away, it smells so bad..."
Ahudala held his breath and looked at the food trough, then nodded.
After Chai Yan asked Xing Weiming to move the food trough, he asked: "Second Prince, Deputy Envoy, since there is no poison in the food, we have to find the cause from other things!"
Lu Bol immediately raised his hand and said: "Wait a minute, Mr. Chai..."
"What's wrong, Deputy Ambassador?" Chai Yan asked.
Lu Bol pointed at the pig pen and said: "Master Chai, how do you know that all the leftover food we ate was poured into this pig pen? Isn't it possible that there is a situation where those poisonous meals are given to others?
After it was taken away, it was secretly dumped somewhere else, and no one knew about it..."
Over there, Xing Weiming dragged the food trough and hadn't put it back to its original position. When he heard what Lu Bol said, he immediately dropped the food trough and turned back angrily and shouted: "Are you done with this? I have to ask you about this.
Are you your own people? Who doesn’t know that from cooking to clearing the table, which step of your process was not done by your own people? You actually have the nerve to falsely accuse us!"
When Chai Yan heard this, he immediately looked at Ahudala: "Your Highness, the Second Prince, is this true?"
Ahhudala didn’t know much about the situation, so he asked the attendants around him: “Is this true?”
The attendant nodded helplessly and replied: "Uh... yes, the second prince..."
Ahudala suddenly felt embarrassed, and then quickly ordered: "Go, call the people who are preparing the food, and ask them what is going on...cough cough cough...
.”
Ahudala started coughing again in a hurry.
"Yes!" The attendant took the order and ran away in a hurry.
Not long after, two servants from Muyue Kingdom were brought over.
Chai Yan inquired carefully and learned that after the two men had packed away the leftovers, they poured all the leftovers into the trough of the pig pen under the guidance of a postman. As soon as they poured it in, two pigs
He ran over to grab the food, and the three of them could see it clearly.
In order to confirm the two men's statements, Chai Yan called for the postman who led the way and asked him.
In front of everyone, the postman immediately recounted the previous experience exactly as it was, and the content was indeed consistent with what the two servants of Muyue Kingdom said.
After understanding everything, Chai Yan walked up to Lu Boer and asked: "Sir, Deputy Ambassador, do you still have any questions about the non-toxicity of the food?"
Lu Bol's face was as dark as water. Now that the facts were in front of him, he had to admit that there was no problem with the food for a table of people.
"Not yet." Lu Bol said reluctantly.
After hearing this, Chai Yan looked at Ahudala, who immediately shook his head and said: "No more..."
Chai Yan then nodded and said: "Well, since it's not the food, let's find the reason elsewhere!"
"Elsewhere? Where?" Lu Bol asked in confusion.
Chai Yan said: "Alcohol, tea, pastries, fruits, etc. eaten between dinner and before going to bed, these things may be poisoned!"
Ahudala nodded immediately: "Yes, Master Chai is right, these things must be checked!"
Xing Weiming quickly answered: "Master Chai, these things you mentioned are all brought by them themselves. The only thing we use is the well water in the courtyard. But if there is a problem with the well water, then don't we all
Are you poisoned? How can you still stand here so well..."
Chai Yan nodded and asked, "Which well did they get the water from?"
"The front is the entrance in front of their house!" Xing Weiming replied immediately.
Chai Yan turned around and said, "Your Highness, Second Prince, Deputy Envoy, let's go take a look at the well water."
After that, Chai Yan took the lead and walked towards the well, followed closely by Ahhudala and Lubol, who were also carried by their guards.
Soon, everyone returned to the house and surrounded an ordinary well.
Chai Yan didn't waste any time. He walked to the well and picked up a bucket of water. He picked it up and drank a few sips.
Ahudala was very surprised and shouted worriedly: "Master Chai, aren't you afraid that the well water is really poisonous?"
Lu Bol was also very surprised when he saw this, but he didn't say anything.
Chai Yan smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, this water is not poisonous. I will know it as soon as I drink it."
Before drinking the water, Chai Yan discussed it with Guan Peining and asked her to check it. If the water was poisonous, Chai Yan would know immediately.
In order to show his honesty, Xing Weiming also picked up the bucket and drank heavily, then said: "If it's poisonous, just poison me first!"
