Chapter 455: Justification
The two of them took the guy and immediately went downstairs to room No. 3.
"Bang"
The door was kicked open by Ying Jianxian, and Nangong Banmeng broke in with his waiter.
What greeted them was the smell of alcohol filling the room, the wine bottles poured on the table, and Jia Ping, who was sleeping soundly.
Seeing this situation, Nangong Banmeng frowned slightly.
Most of her doubts were gone first.
If it was really this person who poisoned me and found out that his whereabouts were compromised, he should have fled long ago. Why do you dare to sleep here?
When he walked to the bed, Ying Jianxian pushed Jia Ping hard.
"stand up."
Jia Ping still closed his eyes, waved his right hand subconsciously, then turned around, turned his back to them, and continued to sleep soundly.
"Get up." Ying Jianxian pushed Jia Ping's head this time.
Seeing that there was still no response, he looked around the room and his eyes fell on the wine bottle poured on the table.
In three steps, Ying Jianxian took the wine bottle, returned to the bed, and poured the remaining wine in the bottle onto Jia Ping's face.
He tried to wake up Jia Ping with wine.
Unexpectedly, he stretched out his hand to wipe his face and murmured: "Good wine, good wine."
Eyes still closed.
"Get out of the way."
Nangong Banmeng suspected that he did it on purpose, so he walked quickly to the bed, picked up the dagger in his hand, and stabbed Jia Ping on the head hard.
If Jia Ping was a cultivator, he would definitely dodge subconsciously.
Unexpectedly, he didn't move at all and was still asleep.
When the dagger was less than half an inch away from Jia Ping's neck, Nangong Banmeng stopped his force and the dagger stopped in mid-air.
As for Jia Ping, who was pretending to sleep, although his eyes were always closed, he could even feel the coldness of the dagger on the skin of his neck.
He took the risk and did not hide.
He also concluded that as the princess of Yiyang, he would never kill indiscriminately before the truth was found out.
Jia Ping made the right bet!
Once he subconsciously dodges, everything will be exposed.
Putting away the dagger, Nangong Banmeng grabbed Jia Ping's collar with his backhand and threw him to the ground.
"Ouch!"
With a cry of pain, Jia Ping was thrown to pieces, and the pain finally made him "wake up".
"The earth is moving, the earth is moving, come quickly, people are moving, the earth is moving."
Opening his confused eyes, Jia Ping shouted immediately.
Then, he noticed that there seemed to be someone behind him and turned around.
After wiping his eyes, Jia Pingping realized what he was doing.
"You...who are you?"
As he spoke, he also burped.
Nangong Banmeng and Ying Jianxian both looked at him coldly and said nothing.
The waiter on the side was trembling with fear and didn't even dare to express his anger.
With the bright dagger dangling in his hand, Nangong Banmeng showed a sinister smile and squatted down.
"Tell me, why did you poison me?"
"Poison?" Jia Ping pretended not to know what was happening.
"What poison?"
At this point, the waiter finally understood why the two people in front of him were so angry. It turned out that there was something wrong with the food and wine.
He couldn't help but feel chilled in his heart.
If the truth is not found out, wouldn’t he have to take the blame?
At the moment, I also hope that Nangong Banmeng and the others can find the real culprit.
"Stop pretending." Nangong Banmeng's voice was harsh and he put the dagger against Jia Ping's chest.
The latter can clearly feel the sting.
"Tell me, who ordered you?"
"What...what instructions? I don't understand what you said at all." Jia Ping almost cried.
Seeing this, Nangong Banmeng sneered, and with a slight force on his hand, the dagger pierced Jia Ping's skin.
"Oh, don't, be gentle, be gentle." Jia Ping tried his best to move his body back, trying to avoid the dagger.
"Half an hour ago, you pretended to be drunk and walked to the wrong floor. When you got to the door, you deliberately knocked down the waiter and took the opportunity to poison the food and wine. You still want to hide this despicable trick from me?" Nangong Banmeng said coldly.
Jia Ping shook his head and found himself "confused."
"I...I just went to the wrong floor?"
"Bang"
Ying Jianxian stepped forward and kicked him hard in the chest.
"You're pretty good at pretending."
"Masters, no, no, I was really drunk and didn't think about it for a moment."
Jia Ping slapped his head hard, as if trying to stay awake.
After a while, he replied with a bitter look on his face: "You two gentlemen, I...I really don't remember what happened just now."
"Sir, please don't hide it, okay? After you knocked me down, in order to compensate these two for their food, you specially rewarded me with a piece of silver. Here, look."
The waiter took out the ingot of silver that Jia Ping had just given him.
"Silver? Did I give it to you?"
"That's not true!"
Jia Ping glanced at the food soup still remaining on his body and blinked "innocently".
"It seems that I really knocked you down." Jia Ping sighed with a wry smile, then changed the topic and continued: "But I really don't remember what happened."
"You..." Ying Jianxian was about to take action, but Nangong Banmeng stopped him.
"What's your name and what do you do?"
"My name is Zhou Ping, and I am a traveling merchant from Yiyang." Jia Ping answered quickly.
After hearing his answer, Nangong Banmeng put away the dagger and said calmly: "Let's go, it's not him."
"Huh?" The guy was stunned.
This sudden reversal caught the three people present by surprise.
"County..." Ying saw Xian Gang was about to ask a question.
"Let's talk about it when we go back to the room."
As a result, Nangong Banmeng came and left in a hurry with Ying Jianxian and his assistant.
In the room, Jia Ping didn't expect the other party to leave like this.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a deep breath.
I finally got through this.
Returning to Tianzi Room No. 3, Ying Jianxian couldn't wait to ask questions, but was stopped by Nangong Banmeng.
She turned to look at the waiter and spoke first: "Let me ask you, after that person spilled the food and wine, did the chef cook all the food again?"
The waiter nodded vigorously: "Of course, the food has been knocked to the ground and cannot be eaten anymore. Even the wine has been drained. I have to eat it again."
"Okay, you can go down." Nangong Banmeng waved his hand and asked the waiter to leave.
As if he was being pardoned, the clerk thanked him profusely and slipped out of the room.
"Princess, why do you say it's not that Zhou Ping? He is the only one who has had contact with food and wine." Ying Jianxian finally asked after holding back for a long time.
Nangong Banmeng replied expressionlessly: "First of all, what he came into contact with was the wine and dishes that the waiter served for the first time, and all of them had been knocked over. The poisonous ones were the remade wine and dishes, and Zhou Ping never touched them again.
Pass."
After listening to her explanation, Ying Jianxian suddenly realized that it made sense.
"I was too impatient to notice this." He secretly hated himself for being reckless.
"Of course, it's also possible that both drinks and dishes were poisonous, and that Zhou Ping deliberately knocked over the first drink and dish just to prevent us from eating it. Later, Zhou Ping saw that the second drink and dish couldn't be touched, so he could only throw it away.
Chapter completed!
