After returning from the Yan Kingdom, Hei Fu truthfully told his Bai Di wife what Jiang Ming had said...
His wife said, "Since the Prime Minister has already given the order for you to poison Zhao Yong, just do as he says. Didn't he say it's a slow-acting poison? After you've administered the poison... find an excuse to leave the palace, and then we'll escape immediately!"
"But wife..."
Hei Fu said with difficulty, "It's not that easy! Once Zhao Yong is poisoned, he'll immediately send troops to hunt me down. Even if we escape a hundred miles, we won't be able to escape his cavalry, and we'll still die in the end!"
Hei Fu paused and continued, "We promised the Xiongnu that we would just spread the rumors, not that we would poison Zhao Yong. Spreading the rumors would cost 1,000 taels of silver, but poisoning Zhao Yong would cost much more. Wife, we've completed our mission. If you ask me, let's not meddle in other people's business!"
"snort!"
Hei Fu's wife, a Bai Di, sneered, "Do you think things are that simple? You did tell Jiang Ming that Zhao Yong was going to rebel, but the problem is... what about the effect? The Xiongnu people spend money to see results. If there are no results, do you think they will give up so easily?"
His wife paused and continued, "What if the Xiongnu turn around and accuse you of spreading rumors, saying that Zhao Yong never intended to rebel? Wouldn't that be like shooting yourself in the foot?"
His wife's reminder brought Hei Fu to his senses!
Yes! Once you've seen the arrow, there's no going back...
The rumors have already been told to Jiang Ming. There's no reason to turn back now; the Huns could easily retaliate!
"Then... what should I do?" Hei Fu asked worriedly.
His wife said, "Here's what you'll do. Just do as Prime Minister Jiang said and poison Zhao Yong's food. Then I'll take the children and go talk to the Xiongnu about the price. After all, the Xiongnu's ultimate goal is for Zhao Yong to suffer. If you poison him, it's like you've done another good deed. I'll negotiate with the Xiongnu and raise the commission!"
She paused and continued, "Let's go first. After you've poisoned the food and see Zhao Yong eat it, then hurry up and leave! Outside the city gate, I'll arrange for the county soldiers to leave you a fast horse. Then you ride it and escape to the Xiongnu's encampment to meet up with me and the child!"
"This...will this work?" Hei Fu was still a little uneasy.
"snort!"
His wife sneered, "You've been entrusted with a task, so you should be loyal to it. You're supposed to be a man, so don't make me look down on you!"
What wife in this world doesn't love her husband and care about his life or death?
But this was Hei Fu's wife, a Bai Di woman, who kept urging Hei Fu to go and die!
Unfortunately, the dark-skinned man was too foolish to see the 'secret' behind it all, and thought that his wife was encouraging him to be a brave warrior who dared to assassinate the king!
Under his wife's persistent persuasion, the black man finally made up his mind to poison the food!
The next day, he went to Zhao Yong's kitchen and, while cooking for Zhao Yong, put the so-called 'poison' given to him by Jiang Ming into the chicken soup he was making for Zhao Yong.
Because he was so focused on 'spreading the poison' himself, he didn't notice that a pair of eyes were secretly watching him!
Meanwhile, his Bai Di wife, who had already fled with their child, was also being secretly followed by a pair of eyes...
The couple's conversation last night had already been overheard by the people on the roof.
At this point, Jiang Ming's intelligence team had confirmed that Zhao Yong was innocent!
It was all orchestrated by the Xiongnu who bribed the Bai Di people to sabotage things behind the scenes...
Besides reporting the news to Jiang Ming as soon as possible.
The intelligence team also decided to turn the tables and uncover all the "mole" behind this!
......
Fresh chicken soup was served on Zhao Yong's dining table.
After taking a sip, Zhao Yong found the taste to be extremely delicious, completely different from the chicken soup he had made before!
Hei Fu even called me over to ask why the taste was different from usual today, and why it felt much more flavorful!
At this moment, Hei Fu was so frightened that his bones and joints were trembling.
But he suppressed his fear and said that he had learned new culinary skills at a restaurant in Yan and wanted the king to try them.
However, in reality...
The so-called poison he gave Zhao Yong was not poison at all.
Jiang Ming used his own traditional methods to make MSG!
In this ancient world, it was difficult to create more wealth by relying solely on resource-based or specialty-based approaches!
Jiang Ming then brought over some modern "technological marvels": namely, using wheat hydrolysis to refine monosodium glutamate!
The main component of monosodium glutamate (MSG) is monosodium glutamate, which is specifically used to enhance flavor.
Hei Fu put MSG into the chicken soup, and naturally, the chicken soup tasted delicious...
Seeing that Zhao Yong had finished all the chicken soup, Hei Fu finally felt relieved.
All that was left was to run away.
Zhao Yong didn't make things difficult for him and granted him leave directly.
After escaping the palace, the black man traveled all the way to the north of the city and rode the fast horse that his wife, a Bai Di woman, had prepared for him!
......
About three hours later, news came from the palace that King Zhao had died from food poisoning, and the entire kingdom of Zhao began a nationwide search for the palace cook, Hei Fu.
However, by this time, Hei Fu had already fled...
Logically, if King Zhao died without any descendants, the matter should have been reported to the emperor in a timely manner.
