Chapter 146 Someone's Dead
When the old woman heard this, she cried even more heartbrokenly.
"Look, it's poisonous indeed! You, Yunkedu, killed someone, you must give us an explanation!"
The people around also began to get emotional and blame Yun Ke Du.
"How dare this black-hearted restaurant use poisonous hemlock to harm people? They're truly devoid of conscience."
"In order to make money, they use all kinds of low-quality ingredients."
Two men, wearing ordinary clothes but with sharp eyes, looked at each other and raised their hands and shouted.
"Kill for your life, kill for your life, kill for your life."
Soon, waves of loud shouts rang out in the restaurant.
"Kill for life, kill for life, Yunkedu kills for life."
The situation was out of control for a while. Manager Tao was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, but he was helpless.
Liu Yue immediately stood up.
"Shut up, everyone. This is clearly a frame-up, but if someone gets into trouble at Yunke Ferry, Yunke Ferry will take responsibility for it."
"Yun Ke Du has reported the matter to the authorities, and they will investigate."
Then he spoke to the doctor.
"Doctor, how can I detoxify this poisonous hemlock? Please give me a prescription."
The doctor spoke upon hearing this.
"It's not difficult. Just induce vomiting first, then drink two bowls of mung bean porridge."
Liu Yue gave the order calmly after hearing this.
"Doctor, please make a pot of emetic medicine. Boss, go make some mung bean soup right away."
Suddenly, soldiers rushed in, led by Su Yan.
"The Dali Temple is handling the case."
"Today, someone reported that Yunke Ferry poisoned a passenger, resulting in death. Yunke Ferry is the property of the Regent Princess. This officer is arresting the relevant personnel according to the law."
Xiao Fuguang looked at Su Yan who rushed in and shouted through the veil, and immediately realized that this was a conspiracy against him.
Sure enough, Su Yan continued to speak.
"After receiving the report, I quickly investigated the owner of Yunke Ferry. Yunke Ferry was opened by the Regent Princess a year ago for her own profit."
Someone in the crowd immediately shouted.
"If the emperor breaks the law, he is subject to the same punishment as the common people. Even if it is the regent princess, human life cannot be taken lightly. Killing must be punished with life."
"Yes, life for life."
The old woman who was originally hugging the old man and crying turned around and knelt at Su Yan's feet.
"Sir, sir, you have to stand up for us ordinary people. This is a black-hearted restaurant. They actually use poison hemlock. They want to kill everyone!"
"Now that I'm dead, there are still so many people poisoned over there. I'm afraid..."
Su Yan spoke with a serious expression.
"What the knight just said is true. If the emperor breaks the law, he will be punished justly, just like any commoner. Even if it's the regent princess, if she kills someone, I will deal with her impartially."
"Come here, bring all the people related to this restaurant to the Dali Temple."
Xiao Fuguang narrowed his eyes and was about to speak.
Liu Yue suddenly grabbed her hand and shook his head.
Su Yan suddenly swung a sword at Xiao Fuguang, who bent back to avoid it.
The vertebral cap was picked open.
"Princess Regent, what's wrong? Are you too scared to face everyone with your true face after killing someone?"
He was actually recognized. It seems that Su Yan's hatred for him has made him have sharp eyes.
Xiao Fuguang spoke calmly.
"Sir Su, you arrived just in time when the Yunke Ferry incident happened, and you immediately pinned the murder accusation on me. As the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, do you think you can make judgments based on your words?"
Facing Su Yan's accusation, Xiao Fuguang looked around calmly.
"You claim that this princess has disregarded human life. Where is your evidence? You attempt to convict me based solely on one-sided testimony and the actions of a few unidentified troublemakers. Where is the justice of the Dali Temple? Where is the rigor of the law?"
Su Yan's face turned stern. He obviously didn't expect Xiao Fuguang to be so calm and composed, and his rebuttal was well-reasoned.
He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his eyes flickering, but soon returned to his cold and hard expression.
“So many people were poisoned and some died, and Princess, you say this is a disturbance?
You are indeed worthy of being the noble Princess Regent. In your eyes, human life is truly worthless."
"Although my influence is low, as the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, I naturally have to give the people justice. Therefore, all those involved in the case must follow me back to the Dali Temple for questioning, including you, Princess Regent."
He looked at Xiao Fuguang with a determined look.
"Come here, take the Princess Regent to the Dali Temple."
Xiao Fuguang looked at the approaching official with a sharp gaze.
"Who dares to do this, my princess?"
Then he looked at Su Yan.
"Sir Su, as an official of the Dali Temple, shouldn't you consider the lives of the people first when encountering a murder case?"
"Even if we want to arrest people, we should wait until these poisoned people are detoxified."
At this time, the doctor came over with some medicine.
Liu Yue spoke hurriedly.
"Quick, give all the guests who accidentally ate emetics, and then feed them the mung bean soup."
Shopkeeper Tao came to his senses in horror and immediately took the waiters and servants in the restaurant to feed emetics to the poisoned people.
With the timely administration of emetics and mung bean soup, the poisoned guests gradually regained consciousness. After vomiting, although their faces were pale, they were obviously no longer in danger.
He reacted so quickly. Su Yan looked at the dead old man.
"But this old man has already died of poisoning. Princess Regent, even if those who were less seriously poisoned have been cured, they still lost their lives. You must go to the Dali Temple. Killing someone means paying with your life, and you, Princess Regent, are no exception."
Then he pointed the sword at Xiao Fuguang.
"Princess, will you go to the Dali Temple with me, or will I escort you there?"
Su Yan was going to ruin the princess's reputation. At this time, Liu Yue saw Xingyue squeezing in from outside the door and nodded at him.
He spoke hurriedly.
"Master Su is right. The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. But the princess is not the owner of Yunke Ferry. She just likes to eat here. Master Su, slandering the princess of the current dynasty is a serious crime."
Looking at Liu Yue's calm appearance, the hatred in Su Yan's eyes grew stronger. This girl had helped Xiao Fuguang a lot.
"I've checked and found that Yunke Ferry is the property of the Princess Regent."
Xingyue squeezed over at this time and stuffed a list into Liuyue's hand.
Liu Yue glanced at Su Yan provocatively.
"It seems that Lord Su's information is wrong. This restaurant is not the Regent Princess's property, but mine."
Su Yan looked at Liu Yue with cold eyes.
"Such a loyal girl, you actually want to take the blame for your master. What a pity, you are just a servant, it is impossible for you to have any property under your name."
Liu Yue opened the contract in his hand and showed it to everyone.
"Everyone, please take a good look. I am not a servant. I am a good citizen."
Then he took the other contract from Xingyue's hand.
"This is Yunke Ferry, which is under my name."
Then they were handed to Su Yan.
"Master Su, do you see clearly? This restaurant has nothing to do with the princess."
