Are you Tongyan Wuji?
Li Er looked at Li Xiao, feeling extremely speechless.
The officials present were also embarrassed.
"What Mr. Xiao said is true."
"Yeah, I didn't expect Mr. Xiao to have such a cute side."
"Master Xiao, you are welcome, sit down and enjoy the food!"
The officials below all clasped their fists in return, with smiles on their faces.
Hearing the word "food", Li Xiao's eyes gradually turned cold.
He thought for a while and said, "Seniors, do the dishes in the mansion suit your taste?"
"Not only does it suit the taste, it's simply a fairy product in the world. I have never tasted such delicious food!"
"That's right, only Prince Qin's Mansion has such delicacies."
The people below were full of praise and blew rainbow farts.
"Really?" The corners of Li Xiao's mouth curled up slightly, and then he looked at Li Er, "Father, my son is very curious, who is the cook who can cook such delicious food? Why don't you call him over and let the elders take a good look at it?" Look."
Hearing this, Li Er looked at Li Xiao with doubts in his eyes.
Why did you call the cook over for such a good celebration banquet?
But he wanted to see what kind of tricks Li Xiao was up to.
Immediately, Li Er gave the order.
Not long after, a fat man with a big belly was brought over.
This made Li Xiao couldn't help but want to complain, why are all the chefs fat?
When the cook came, he was flattered and flustered when he saw so many people in official uniforms.
"People are also called, so hurry up and say what you want to say!" Li Er said to Li Xiao angrily.
"Thank you, father, for fulfilling the task!"
Li Xiao nodded, then looked at the cook below and asked, "This...what's his name?"
"My lord, the villain's name is Pao Fei." The cook said hastily.
Li Xiao was expressionless: "Pao Fei, let me ask you, are you responsible for all the meals in this mansion?"
"Returning to Young Master, it's all handled by the villain." Pao Fei replied honestly.
"Oh?" Li Xiao's eyes gradually became sharper.
For the past two years, someone had poisoned his meals. If anyone was the most likely, it would be the cook.
Only this cook can complete the poisoning without anyone noticing.
"Where do you live?" Li Xiao continued to ask.
"The villain's whole family lives in Prince Qin's Mansion."
"Home."
"The Paojia Village in northern Shaanxi."
"How did you get into Prince Qin's Mansion? Or was it recommended by someone?"
"what?"
The cook, Pao Fei, was a little panicked at the moment.
These questions sounded like they were interrogating prisoners.
He quickly knelt down and said in a panic: "My lord, calm down. I don't know what the villain did wrong. I hope you will tell me."
"Okay!" Li Er said suddenly, "Xiao'er, what do you want to say?"
"It's okay, just ask casually."
After Li Xiao finished speaking, he looked at the cook again: "You haven't answered my question yet."
"Young master, the Turks invaded a few years ago, and the whole village of my Pojia village was captured and was about to be reduced to rations. It was His Royal Highness King Qin who led the army to rescue the villain's family."
"Afterwards, the villain served as a cook in the army in order to repay his kindness, and was then transferred to the Qin Palace."
Pao Fei told the story in detail.
Hearing that Li Er brought this person, Li Xiao frowned slightly.
Something is not right.
Li Er has no reason to kill him.
Even if Li Er wanted to harm him, he wouldn't use this kind of slow poison method.
But if it wasn't for Li Er, then what happened to this cook?
Is there someone else behind this?
After thinking for a while, Li Xiao still had no idea.
He suddenly looked at Li Junxian and said, "Catch it!"
Li Junxian was obviously stunned for a moment, a little at a loss.
But when he thought of what Li Er said to him before, he immediately put the sword on the neck of the cook Pao Fei.
"what?!"
Pao Fei was frightened half to death by this scene, trembling all over, yelling frantically for mercy.
All the people present were puzzled.
Li Er was even more furious.
What does this kid mean?
Just now he said that the cook was brought by him, but he immediately ordered to arrest him.
This was clearly slapping him in the face!
"Xiao'er, if you don't give Weifu an explanation today, you will be punished severely!" Li Er said with a cold face.
"Father..." Li Chengqian stood up suddenly at this time, with a smile on his face, "Brother Xiao is extremely witty, he naturally has his reasons for doing this, perhaps, the cook accidentally offended Brother Xiao with something. "
Hearing this, Li Xiao instantly looked at Li Chengqian, and sneered in his heart.
Can't stand it?
Li Chengqian's words seemed to be pleading for him.
But in fact, it harbors evil intentions.
At this time, some officials present also began to whisper.
"What's the situation? Why did you suddenly order someone to be arrested?"
"I don't know, this Xiaogongzi seems to be moody. I don't know if there is a real reason, or if he is making trouble for no reason."
"It seems that the rumors are not credible!"
"Yeah, if you behave like this without giving a reason, wouldn't it be chilling for others?"
"In order to repay his kindness, this cook has been working as a cow and a horse in the Qin Palace for many years. It's hard enough. I didn't expect to be punished by Mr. Xiao. It's really pitiful."
"It's still the eldest son who knows how to be a man. The first time he didn't ask the reason, but to help the young master speak."
Although they were far away, some of these people's whispers still reached Li Xiao's ears.
In this regard, he is dismissive.
Why should he look at other people's faces when he does things?
"Father, don't worry, the child arrests someone because of his guilt." Li Xiao looked at Li Er and said slowly.
"I'm wronged! The villain didn't make a mistake!"
Due to excessive fright, Pao Fei's face turned pale.
"Hehe, are you still being wronged?" Li Xiao sneered, "I ask you, who poisoned my food?"
Poisoned?
Hearing these two words, Li Er frowned instantly.
The eyes of all the people present were also wide-eyed, a little unbelievable.
Hearing this, Pao Fei broke out in cold sweat and kept kowtowing for mercy: "Your Highness, the villain has never poisoned you! Mr. Xiao clearly wronged the villain, so please Your Highness be the master!"
"Xiao'er, are you poisoned?!" Li Er hurriedly asked nervously.
"That's not true. Fortunately, the child found out in time."
Li Xiao shook his head, and then continued: "Father, the reason why my son is so angry is because my son has been taking this chronic poison for a long time without knowing it."
"what?!"
As soon as Li Xiao said this, Li Er was furious instantly.
Chapter 11: Shocking the old doctor!
Immediately, Li Er stared at Pao Fei and asked, "Is there such a thing?!"
"Your Highness, the villain was wronged!"
Pao Fei was already trembling all over at this moment, and he couldn't even speak properly.
"Come here, tell the imperial doctor!" Li Er suddenly thought of something, and immediately shouted.
"Father, don't worry, this poison is not fatal, otherwise the child would have died long ago." Li Xiao smiled.
Hearing this, Li Er breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyes were very puzzled, and he asked, "How did you find out?"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian also asked in confusion: "Brother Xiao, you said you have taken poison for a long time, since you found it, why do you still take it?"
Li Xiao looked at Li Er and said, "This is a long story. Anyway, my son has read some medical scriptures recently and learned something. Only then did he recognize the poisoning in the food."
Read the medical scriptures?
Li Er was stunned for a moment, and his face was a little ugly.
Isn't this bullshit?
He thought that Li Xiao had some conclusive evidence.
It turned out that it was just speculation and suspicion. After reading medical books for a few days, what can I learn?
The knowledge of medicine is broad and profound, and it cannot be learned in a short time.
Therefore, he has decided that Li Xiao is wrong.
No poison at all.
It's not just Li Er who thinks so.
The people present knew what was going on when they heard that Li Xiao had only made a judgment based on reading medical books for a few days.
"Xiao'er, stop messing around!" Li Er said with a cold face.
"Father, I'm serious, I didn't mess around with you!"
Li Xiao frowned slightly, he was worried that this would happen, Li Er didn't believe him.
Seeing Li Xiao's attitude made Li Er hesitate again.
"Xiao'er, father knows that you are not a messy person."
Li Er spoke earnestly, and said slowly: "But you are too young, and the way of medicine is not as simple as you think. Even a doctor with excellent medical skills will sometimes take the wrong medicine. You have only read medical books for a few days, and it is normal to admit your mistake. "
"Ugh……"
Seeing this, Li Xiao could only sigh.
After a pause, Li Xiao continued: "Father, why don't you believe in the child? Forgot the East Palace? Forgot what happened last night?"
"It's not that I don't believe it..."
