Chapter 302 It's time for the puffer fish(1/2)

Xie Zhihua sneered repeatedly.

Today is his happy day, and even the imperial envoy could not do anything to him. After today, everyone realized who had the final say in Jinling City. Fan Xiaodao first caused him to be under house arrest and extorted 600,000 taels of silver from him. If you don’t deal with you well today, who will take him Xie Zhihua seriously in the future? Thinking of this, he secretly made up his mind that since you, Fan Xiaodao, want to die, you can just do it.

He slowly got up, took the wine glass, came to Fan Xiaodao, poured a glass of wine on Fan Xiaodao's head, but said, "It was windy at night, and I accidentally spilled the wine."

This action was beyond everyone's expectations. They did not dare to speak out and looked at Xie Zhihua in astonishment.

Xie Zhihua put down the wine glass and reached out to help Fan Xiaodao sort out his clothes. "It's better to let me compensate you if I dirty Captain Fan's clothes!"

Fan Xiaodao was not angry at all. He slowly said, "It's not a big deal to wet my clothes, but if I dirty the small gift I prepared for the adults, I'm afraid the sin will be a big deal!"

Xie Zhihua was stunned when she heard this. How could you give gifts? Could it be that this kid knew the situation and had a good idea? Could it be that the silver notes that Fan Xiaodao took from here not long ago? Now that I see that I am in power again, I feel remorseful and will I return the money I have taken back?

Thinking of this, his expression calmed down a little, "I want to see, what you have prepared for me is a priceless treasure?"

Fan Xiaodao took out a letter from his arms and said, "I dare not take it as a baby, but it is a priceless letter."

Xie Zhihua looked at the envelope and felt familiar. She took it and saw that the letter was exactly the same as the one in his house. He had an ominous premonition in his heart. He quickly opened the letter. As soon as he saw him looking up, the smile on his face immediately froze.

Everyone was confused, so they all looked at the Lord Transportation Commander. Seeing his expression, they didn't know what had happened.

Xie Zhihua felt like she fell into an ice cellar.

He knew every word on it, but now it seems like sharp arrows, hitting his face from the letter paper, and every word is like a bayonet, inserted into his heart.

His hands kept trembling, and just a few short pages of paper, like a mountain, making him breathless.

Xie Zhihua said tremblingly: "How could this letter be in your hands?"

Fan Xiaodao smiled and said, "The prince was deeply relieved when he heard that you were acquitted. So he asked someone to bring this letter and sent a few words, saying that he would do his best, be diligent, loyal and brave, and that he is a good material for being an official. The position of Jiangnan Transportation Commander is the only one!"

Some people who didn't understand the situation heard it, but did not see the situation clearly, flattered and said, "Of course, who in Jiangnan, except Lord Xie, can afford the position of Jiangnan Transportation Commander?"

Xie Zhihua heard it in his ears, but it was like a needle.

Sweat out in cold sweat.

This letter...how did this letter be in the hands of the prince?

Fan Xiaodao continued: "I have to say that the word "Xie" is quite popular. But the content in the letter is, cough cough..."

Xie Zhihua is as stupid as a wooden chicken.

The whole person's three souls and six spirits stood there as if they were lost.

Everyone didn't know what was going on, and some people couldn't help but be curious and came over, looking at the letter. Xie Zhihua no longer thought of this, and did not stop him. The man glanced at him, couldn't help but take a breath, took a few steps back, covered his stomach and said, "I've eaten my stomach tonight, I'll take it first!"

Someone said: "Mr. Liu, there are still a few main dishes that haven't been served, why are you anxious?"

The man said, "If you have three urgent needs, take a step back first."

Fan Xiaodao reached out and shook his hand in front of Xie Zhihua for a few times, "Sir Xie? Sir Xie?"

Xie Zhihua then reacted, her face full of depressed expression, and she staggered a few steps, and said, "Everyone has a meal first. I'm ill. Go to the study to take a break and go back!" Seeing this, the butler quickly helped Xie Zhihua, who had been walking, and left the lobby.

The rest of the people didn't understand why.

The lucky master, who was so energetic just now, became distraught. What was the content written in the letter? His confusing eyes were all staring at Fan Xiaodao, trying to find out some news from him. Fan Xiaodao smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a letter!" He waved his hand and said to the singers, "Switch on music, continue dancing!"

The string orchestra begins.

But everyone had no intention of drinking and having fun.

However, Zhao Xing poured a glass of wine himself and slowly poured it into his mouth, "It's great to have money, everyone knows how to enjoy it!"

The more this happens, the more curious everyone becomes.

"Mr. Xiao Fan, what exactly is written in that letter?"

Fan Xiaodao spread his hands together, "It's not written to me, how do I know?"

The rest of them didn't know whether to stay or continue.

Fan Xiaodao said: "You have spent a lot of money on such a sumptuous meal. If you don't eat it, wouldn't you lose to death?"

When everyone heard this, they were right, so they ate and ate again.

Some people thought the pufferfish tasted delicious and said, "Let me make some pufferfish in the kitchen!"

Soon, the manager came to the lobby with a heavy face. Seeing this, everyone stepped forward to care, "What's wrong with Lord Xie?"

The manager said: "Sir, I'm a little hungry and want to eat puffer fish!"

The chef said, "Master, we puffer fish have prepared a total of 100 servings and eaten them all."

At this time, a person said, "I have just come up and I haven't touched the chopsticks yet, so I'll give it to Lord Xie!"

The manager thanked him and ordered the chef to bring the pufferfish to Xie Zhihua's study. He did not follow him, but greeted everyone in the lobby. Someone cared about Xie Zhihua's body and went forward to inquire. The manager did not say much, but came to Fan Xiaodao and handed a letter to Fan Xiaodao.

"This is what Lord Xie has to give to him."

Fan Xiaodao took the letter, took a brief look, felt relieved, and put the letter in his arms and said to Zhao Xing: "It's not too early, it's time for us to go back."

Everyone also found it strange that the fortune commander was next door, so what could he not say in person and insisted on writing a letter?

At this moment, a woman's scream suddenly came from outside the door, "Help!"

When everyone heard this, they walked out of the Bishui Tower and saw a group of guards, looking hurriedly, surrounding Xie Zhihua's room. Soon, they heard someone shouting, "Mr. Xie is poisoned!" Everyone followed them one after another, and in the study, Xie Zhihua's face turned black, and she curled up on the ground, trembling constantly.

On the table is a broken bowl.

There are still half-eat puffer fish on the ground.

"Come to the doctor quickly!"

Xie Zhihua waved his hand and looked at Fan Xiaodao, his eyes full of compassion.

Fan Xiaodao turned his head.

Xie Zhihua's eyes gradually dissipated, and her curled body gradually opened.

After a moment, the doctor came and saw that Xie Zhihua's purple body had corpse spots. He sighed and shook his head, "Prepare for funeral!"

Someone asked, "How did Lord Xie die?"

The doctor said: "I was poisoned by puffer fish!"

The official who had made puffer fish was shocked when he heard this. Fortunately, he gave up the bowl of puffer fish, otherwise he would die.

"Someone poisoned!"

"It's the manager, arrest him first!"

There was a chaotic scene and Fan Xiaodao waved his hand: "No need. Lord Xie committed suicide by taking poison."

"How can I see it?"

Fan Xiaodao took out the letter written by Xie Zhihua before and said: "In the Mint case, Xie Zhihua has pleaded guilty. I will cancel the case to the imperial envoy tomorrow. Don't speculate. It's not too early, please come back!"

When everyone heard this, they didn't say much and dispersed.

After all, the Bishui Tower at this time is already a place of trouble.

Xie Zhihua was already acquitted, but why did he suddenly leave a last letter to confess? Everyone no longer thought about how far they could be. However, the officials and gentry who sent generous gifts were a little unwilling to give up, but they could do nothing.

It was originally an investment.

Now all have been wasted.

Not long after, the government officials rushed to Bishuilou. Xie Yu heard that the transshipment officer committed suicide, so he also came to the scene in person, "How could the transshipment officer die suddenly?"

Fan Xiaodao handed the letter to Xie Yu. After seeing it, Xie Yu looked solemn, and returned the letter to Fan Xiaodao, "It is more appropriate to hand it over to several imperial envoys in person."

Fan Xiaodao yawned, "Tomorrow will be another busy day. If nothing happens, we will go back first." After that, he took out a few taels of silver from his arms and handed it to the manager. "I have been very busy these days. Now the dead are the most important, so I'd better conceal it first. This silver is regarded as a gift."

Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing left Bishui Tower.

Zhao Xing took out a letter from his arms, which was the one that Fan Xiaodao handed to Xie Zhihua. Fan Xiaodao said, "No wonder he didn't find it just now. It turned out that you put it away."

Zhao Xingdao: "If this letter is spread, there will be more than one Xie Zhihua."

Fan Xiaodao nodded, his internal force was slightly vomited, and the letter paper turned into a piece of powder. "I didn't expect that the assassination against His Royal Highness outside the capital last year was actually the news provided by Xie Zhihua! I didn't expect that Princess Taiping would hand over Xie Zhihua's letter to the prince."

Zhao Xing also sighed: "There is no eternal enemy, only eternal interests."

Xie Zhihua is dead.

This transshipment man, known as the number one foodie in Jiangnan, eventually died under the puffer fish toxin.

What forced him to death was the letter in Fan Xiaodao's hand.

A letter from Xie Zhihua to Princess Taigong.

Last year, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince received an imperial edict and returned to the capital from Yingtian Prefecture to preside over the overall situation. Some people in the court were afraid that the prince would ruin their major events after he returned, so they carefully organized an assassination operation against His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The location of the operation was the inn outside the capital. The assassination was the Northern Zhou Arrow God.

If it weren't for Fan Xiaodao, I'm afraid Zhu Yan would have died outside the capital.

The person who leaked the whereabouts of the prince was Xie Zhihua.

This secret letter was sent to the capital through top-secret channels. However, after somehow, it fell into the hands of the prince. Therefore, when Xie Zhihua learned that the assassination was not successful, he was worried for a long time. Later, through layers of relationships, he established contact with the prince and even gave him 100,000 taels of silver.

I thought this was over.

Until Fan Xiaodao took out the letter, Fan Xiaodao had guessed the ending.
To be continued...
