Chapter 052 Confiscation of Household
“There are problems with both.”
After a pause, the Minister of Justice continued, "To be precise, all the remaining mutton is problematic, and the leg of mutton... only the one that the queen used is problematic."
Zhao Chunming's thighs were shaking with shock.
Su Qingqing was furious, "Is it only the lamb leg I used that has a problem?"
The Minister of Justice bowed his head and said, "Yes, the lamb leg that the queen ate was given cartilage powder. The drug started to take effect one hour after it entered the stomach. The symptoms made the whole body weak, and disappeared on its own after about three hours.
The mutton contained another kind of poison, and the symptoms were that the soldiers became bloated, weak, and had blurred vision. "
Two different drugs were administered separately.
Su Qingqing narrowed her eyes slightly, with an angry gleam in her eyes. Behind her, Jixiang looked puzzled, "That's not right. How could there be mutton? We bought hundreds of lamb legs yesterday, not mutton."
Zhao Chunming wiped the cold sweat from his head in fear and knelt down, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Su Qingqing looked towards Zhao Chunming.
Zhao Chunming bowed his head to the ground and said, "I am a fool. The lamb legs that Your Majesty bought yesterday were exchanged for mutton by someone I sent.
I originally thought that five hundred lamb legs were not enough for the soldiers to share, and I was afraid that everyone would feel resentful if there was one more or one less, so I replaced them with cheaper mutton, so that almost everyone could eat it.
I never thought that there was something wrong with this mutton. "
Jixiang's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief: "You replaced our lamb legs?"
After that, Jixiang turned to the Minister of Justice and said, "That is to say, the lamb legs we bought are fine, but the lamb he exchanged for is all problematic?"
The Minister of Justice hummed, "You can say that, because only the lamb leg that the queen used was poisoned, and the rest was normal, which shows that it was poisoned alone, and the whole lamb was poisonous."
Su Qingqing sneered, "Zhao Chunming, you are so brave! I was almost killed by you!"
Zhao Chunming kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I really didn't know that this mutton was poisonous."
"You don't know? You asked someone to replace him, how could you not know?" Su Qingqing was furious and slammed the table and ordered, "Tie up Zhao Chunming for me!"
Minglu stood on one side and waved his hand when he heard the words. Immediately, people from the Prince's Mansion came forward.
Zhao Chunming was so frightened that his whole body was shaking. "I have given Liu Yisheng full authority to handle the exchange of mutton. I have no involvement in it at all. Your Majesty and the Lord can check it out."
Su Qingqing looked at the Minister of Justice.
The Minister of Justice said hurriedly, "I have checked and it is true. The people in the kitchen said that the lamb legs were taken away by Liu Yisheng yesterday, and the lamb was also brought back by Liu Yisheng."
"Where is Liu Yisheng?"
"Just outside the tent, if I find that the mutton is problematic, I will immediately take him under control." Then, the Minister of Justice turned around and ordered outside the tent, "Bring the person in."
Liu Yisheng was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground when he was dragged in. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I really didn't know there was something wrong with the mutton. I know nothing."
"auspicious!"
Su Qingqing screamed, and Jixiang swung the whip in his hand towards Liu Yisheng.
The whip hit Liu Yisheng's thigh so hard that blood gushed out. He screamed in pain.
Everyone in the tent was shocked.
Su Qingqing looked at Liu Yisheng coldly, "I am not in a good mood to listen to your nonsense, so just say it as soon as possible."
Jixiang snapped his whip, and it hit the ground beside Liu Yisheng, frightening him so much that his whole body trembled. "Yes, it was General Su who asked me to drug the queen's lamb leg."
Unable to withstand the threat of the whip, Liu Yisheng directly sold Su Xiang.
"General Su? Su Xiang?" Su Qingqing looked puzzled. "Su Xiang asked you to drug me?"
Liu Yisheng nodded tremblingly, "It was him. He gave me the medicine, and he also gave me 1,000 taels of silver. The silver is still in the cabinet in my room. I haven't touched it at all. Your Majesty, you can send someone to check."
The Minister of Justice immediately signaled to his subordinates , who went as ordered.
But in a short while, one thousand taels of silver and half a bag of medicine powder were found in Liu Yisheng's room.
The case was already half solved. Su Qingqing gritted her teeth and said, "What a Su Xiang! First his sister poisoned my tea, and now he wants to burn me to death!"
Su Qingqing stood up suddenly and walked out.
Jixiang hurriedly caught up, "Where are you going, Madam?"
Su Qingqing didn't even turn her head back, "Let's go settle the score with that bastard!"
The Minister of Justice ordered his men to tie up Zhao Chunming and Liu Yisheng, and then took them to the palace to report.
Ming Lu looked at Rong Que who was dressed as a soldier. Rong Que gave Ming Lu a wink, and Ming Lu understood. He left some men to guard the evidence in the army while he chased after Su Qingqing.
After leaving the Xishan camp, Su Qingqing rode her horse straight to the Su Mansion.
The results of the investigation had not yet been announced, and Su Xiang was lying on the bed, eating grapes while being served by a maid.
His mother, Zhou, was praying sincerely in the small Buddhist temple, praying that Su Yunyun would be safe and sound.
In the study, Su Yunhe was discussing things with his staff.
Suddenly, there were tragic and shrill screams coming from the mansion, followed by noises like a house raiding that alarmed all the masters in the mansion.
Su Qingqing brought Jixiang and rushed into the Su Mansion. They rushed in and whipped anyone who tried to stop them.
She was good at martial arts, and those who came to stop her did not dare to do anything because of her status as the Crown Princess. Su Qingqing ransacked the mansion as she entered, leaving chaos wherever she went.
Su Yunhe rushed out immediately after hearing the news, " What ?"
Seeing that the mansion had been smashed to pieces by Su Qingqing and her servant, Su Yunhe became furious and asked loudly.
Su Qingqing didn't even bother to pay attention to him and just whipped Su Yunhe.
Su Yunhe was protected by guards and barely avoided the whip. Su Qingqing did not bother with him and went straight to where Su Xiang was.
The Su family guards received Su Yunhe's order and blocked Su Qingqing.
Su Yunhe was furious. "How did our Su family offend the Crown Princess? First you framed my daughter and then beat my son, and now you are raiding our house. Our Great Yan Kingdom is not like your Kingdom of Zhao. How can we allow the Crown Princess to do this..."
Su Qingqing didn't wait for him to finish, she just tiptoed up and flew up, swinging her whip at the guards who were protecting Su Yunhe.
Before this, everyone thought that the princess was a fool.
But who could have imagined that Cao Bao's kung fu was so powerful that the guards in the mansion could not resist him.
More than a dozen guards were unable to stop a princess consort. Su Qingqing acted as if she was in an empty space. She knocked down the guards with a few whips and directly rolled Su Yunhe with the whip in her hand.
After wrapping the man up and throwing him up, Su Yunhe fell heavily to the ground.
"Tied up!"
Su Qingqing left a word to Jixiang and went to find Su Xiang.
But in the blink of an eye, the entire Su Mansion was plunged into the sound of wolves and ghosts howling.
Su Xiang didn't even react to what was happening before Su Qingqing whipped him so hard that he couldn't even breathe.
Zhou was crying so hard that she was out of breath. Her clothes were disheveled and her hair was messy. She fell to the ground and sobbed non-stop.
