Chapter 213 Mr. Bai is Dead
After returning to the restaurant, Chen Xiao rested for a night and then went to Sifang Hall the next day.
Bai Qingqing was waiting here early in the morning, and when she saw Chen Xiaohou, she immediately came to meet him.
Chen Xiao said: "Let's go, let's go to the Ministry of Justice?"
Bai Qingqing nodded with gratitude!
The two of them went to the outside of the Ministry of Justice together and asked the minor officials to report.
When the Minister of Justice heard that it was Chen Xiao who came, he quickly took someone to the hall of the Ministry of Justice.
In the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, many officials were discussing the matter here. After Chen Xiao and Bai Qingqing came in, everyone came over.
Then the Minister of Justice stood up and said, "Mr. Chen, I don't know what's wrong with you coming to the Ministry of Justice?"
"I heard that your Ministry of Justice arrested the prefecture professor of the Imperial Capital?" Chen Xiao spoke directly.
The Minister of Justice looked at the left and right ministers, and the left and right ministers looked at the doctor of the Qing official department of the Ministry of Justice!
The doctor of the Qing official department of Zhili hurriedly said: "Mr. Chen, this is the case. The Imperial College Priest wrote a document to the Ministry of Justice and asked us to arrest him."
"Reason?" Chen Xiao asked.
"Which professor of Bai Ruxue did not do his job in his position, neglected his responsibilities, and did not teach his children..." said the doctor of the Qing Lishu Department of Zhili.
Bai Qingqing hurriedly said, "It's not like this. My grandfather has already asked the Imperial College to retire and return home, but the Imperial College is not allowed. My grandfather is in a bad health and cannot be competent for Confucianism. The Imperial College priest is not considerate at all, but instead he accused my grandfather of the crime!"
Chen Xiao frowned and looked at the doctor of the Qing official department of Zhili and said, "Did you hear it?"
The doctor of the Qing Lisi Department of Zhili said: "Then we have no choice. The Confucian professor is under the supervision of the Imperial College. He is in poor health or old, so he can resign normally. However, the Imperial College insists that he does not teach his children and neglects his duties, and there is no way!"
"Release!" Chen Xiao said!
"This..." The doctor of the Qing Lisi Department of Zhili was embarrassed:
"Issues of the Imperial College Priest said he didn't have those charges. After all, they are teaching, so our Ministry of Justice is not easy to interfere..."
Chen Xiao took a deep breath and said, "I said, let me go!"
The Minister of Justice hurriedly said, "Release the person!"
He didn't want to offend Chen Xiao because he was just a priest from the Imperial College for priests.
Although one is the director of education and the other is the minister of foreign affairs, neither of them has much real power, Chen Xiao is obviously more difficult to provoke than the Imperial College for sacrificing wine.
Therefore, the Minister of Justice decided to release the person!
The doctor of the Qing official department of Zhili did not say much, and immediately let someone release Bai Lao.
At the entrance of the Ministry of Justice Prison, Bai Qingqing and Chen Xiao met with Old Bai. Old Bai looked at Chen Xiao and sighed in a complicated way and said:
"Chen Xiao, you have to be careful!"
Chen Xiao was confused: "Old Bai, what does it mean?"
He thought to himself, it’s not that he was embarrassed by the Imperial College, why should he be careful?
Old Bai sighed and said, "It's nothing, go to my house, I'll have a drink with you!"
Chen Xiao nodded and went to Bai Mansion with Lao Bai and sat at the table. Lao Bai and Chen Xiao took a sip of wine.
Then Old Bai said, "I've seen it, old man, but I can't worry about Qingqing!"
Chen Xiao said: "Old Bai, why do you do this? You are a hundred years old!"
Old Bai smiled and said, "Oh, if I leave in the future, can you ask my friend to help take care of Qingqing?"
The more Chen Xiao heard, the more he became, the more he was wrong: "What's wrong? Mr. Bai, why are you doing this? Didn't I rescue you from the Ministry of Justice?"
Old Bai smiled and said, "Tell me, when a person is old, he will die, but I don't worry about this girl!"
Chen Xiao looked at Bai Qingqing who was serving the food in. Bai Qingqing glanced at the two of them, and Old Bai didn't say anything more.
When Bai Qingqing left, Chen Xiao said, "Old Bai, don't think too much. Your granddaughter is kind to me. When you return to the world for a hundred years, I will take care of her!"
Old Bai nodded: "I'll feel relieved!"
After both of them were drunk and eating, Mr. Bai said, "I like your words: It's like morning dew, and the days are full of suffering..."
Chen Xiao smiled: "I don't think this sentence is good!"
"Maybe you are not at this age and have not experienced it..." Old Bai said, taking a deep breath...
After drinking and eating, Chen Xiao said goodbye and returned to Sifang Pavilion!
The prince of the Eagle Kingdom was bored. When he saw Chen Xiaohou, he said, "Brother Chen, do you think, Your Majesty Long Kingdom, are you reluctant to let the Ninth Princess marry me?"
Chen Xiao thought to himself, the emperor is willing, but I don’t want it either!
He said, "It's possible, after all, Princess Ninth is his favorite daughter!"
The prince of the Eagle Kingdom sighed: "In this way, he should marry her so that he can get the attention of the Dragon Kingdom!"
Chen Xiao said: "Don't be anxious, you will go to His Majesty to talk about this from time to time!"
The Prince of the Eagle Kingdom nodded: "It's right!"
Chen Xiao looked at the prince of the Eagle Kingdom pitifully, thinking that this guy is not easy. He really thought Chen Xiao was helping him, but he didn't know that everyone regarded him as a fool.
Time flies very quickly and it's dark.
Chen Xiao was taken off the job and left Sifang Hall and prepared to return to the restaurant.
But as soon as I left the Sifang Pavilion, I saw Bai Qingqing running over while crying.
Chen Xiao was confused, what the hell? Why are you crying?
After Bai Qingqing ran over crying, she immediately cried even harder when she saw Chen Xiao.
He rushed towards Chen Xiao and said, "Chen Xiao...wuwu...my grandfather...is dead..."
Chen Xiao felt a thud and said hurriedly: "How is it possible? Isn't the morning still fine..."
"Just half an hour ago... woo woo..." Bai Qingqing cried very sadly!
Chen Xiao said: "Let's go..."
He is sure now that something is wrong.
Why is the Imperial College priest targeting Mr. Bai?
Mr. Bai came out, why did he say those strange things? He also asked Chen Xiao to take care of his granddaughter?
Also, he left the Ministry of Justice and told Chen Xiao to be careful?
Chen Xiao originally thought these words were strange. Now, it is no longer as simple as strange!
When they arrived at Bai Mansion, the servants were already setting up a mourning hall.
In the middle of the mourning hall, the corpse was parked!
At the scene, there was a coroner from the government office.
The coroner met Chen Xiao and immediately bowed down when he saw him.
Chen Xiao stepped forward and looked at the corpse. He saw that there was no problem with it after a rough look!
"Is there any problem with the body?" Chen Xiao asked.
The coroner shook his head: "Sir, there are no signs of him killing, nor are there any signs of poisoning!"
Chen Xiao frowned and looked at the body carefully.
Then he saw that the coroner had a silver needle on his hand.
So he took the silver needle over, found the location of the stomach of the corpse, and then inserted it into it.
After a while, I slowly pulled it out and saw that the silver needle was black!
"What?"
The coroner's face said: "Impossible. If he took something poisonous, it would be impossible that he would not have found it out of his mouth!"
Chen Xiao took a deep breath and said, "He took the poison at the beginning, but did not have an immediate attack. Later, he drank a lot of alcohol, and it worked and died!"
"But, what poison?" the coroner asked.
"Arsenic, silver needles usually only encounter arsenic and will only become black. It should be because I took a small amount of arsenic and combined with alcohol, and the poison was killed..."
After Chen Xiao finished speaking, he thought about it carefully.
Mr. Bai came out of the Ministry of Justice and was with him all the time, so he had no chance to eat arsenic.
Moreover, after coming out of the Ministry of Justice, I seemed to know that I would die!
Then... it must be the arsenic eaten in the Ministry of Justice!
He looked gloomy and said to the coroner: "I'm not an ordinary neck when someone takes the body back to the government office!"
The coroner did not dare to neglect, so he nodded immediately.
Chen Xiao said to Bai Qingqing again: "This matter is so strange. I even think it has something to do with me, so I have to investigate it."
Bai Qingqing wiped her tears and said, "What should we do now?"
Chen Xiao snorted: "Go to the Ministry of Justice. If you don't understand the matter clearly today, I will turn the Ministry of Justice upset! "
