Chapter 417 The whole truth 5 years ago?
Xizhu stayed in the Precious Medicine Pavilion to receive Li Ziru, Fei Qi and others who came from afar.
After all, such a big thing happened in Zhenyaoge. If there was no important person to take charge, I am afraid that Zhenyaoge would be thrown into chaos.
The third floor of Junlai Restaurant.
Inside the Suzaku Pavilion, Xia Longze, who was in a cold state, and Xia Wenzhe, who was shivering all over, knelt on the ground and apologized to Baili Moqing.
"Prince Li, I failed to discipline my younger brother, causing him to commit such a grave mistake. I beg Your Highness to forgive me!"
Baili Moqing sat in the main seat, with a table full of delicious dishes ordered by Xia Longze in front of him.
There were not only delicious dishes but also good wine. Next to it was a mahogany unicorn box filled with silver bills and precious gems, gold and jade.
He looked at those things, his lips curled slightly, "They smashed the precious medicine pavilion and killed people. Do you think you can solve this matter with some money?"
Xia Longze raised his head, his eyes flickering, a shrewd look visible between his slender eyebrows. "Your Highness, if you have any requests, please feel free to tell me directly. As long as I can do it, I will definitely satisfy you! I will definitely give the Precious Medicine Pavilion and Your Highness a satisfactory explanation!"
Baili Moqing curled his lips slightly, "The loss of Zhenyao Pavilion is just a matter of money. If it can be solved with money, it is not a difficult problem."
"However, Xia Longze, you have been working in Kyoto for so many years, you should know what the Zheng family does, right?"
"This time, it's no longer just a matter of the smashing of the precious medicine pavilion and the death of a little medicine boy. Now, the one who's dead is the third son of the Duke's family, and the Duke's wife's most beloved youngest son!"
"Because of your brother's instigation, Zheng Ziying lost his life. Tell me, how will the Zheng family deal with you?"
Xia Longze's face turned pale, and he had already thought of his near future fate.
However, when his panicked eyes met that man who exuded nobility and confidence, his heart gradually calmed down.
"Since the prince has taken the initiative to invite me today, he must have some plans, right? I wonder if the prince has any suggestions for my situation?"
Baili Moqing raised his eyes, his gaze revealing a hint of admiration. "You are very smart. The Xia Pharmacy has such a status in Kyoto. In addition to the Zheng family's backing, half of the credit is due to your management and strength."
"It's a pity that there's an idiot by your side, which is why Xia's Pharmacy has gradually reached its current situation."
Upon hearing this, Xia Wenzhe next to him was already sweating profusely.
He knew that the "idiot" Baili Moqing was talking about was him. However, he hadn't expected things to change so quickly and be so difficult to control...
He just wanted to smash up a store!
Xia Longze glanced at his younger brother, and the anger and impatience between his brows were forced to be suppressed. He bowed deeply to Baili Moqing again.
"Please speak clearly, Your Majesty!"
Baili Moqing poured a glass of wine, walked up to Xia Longze with the glass and handed it to him.
Xia Longze took the wine glass in half shock and half doubt, with a few drops of sweat already sliding down his temples.
"What the king wants is very simple."
"Regarding the incident five years ago, what role did your Xia's Pharmacy play in it? What details do you know?"
These words caused the wine glass in Xia Longze's hand to fall to the ground. The mellow wine spilled on the ground. Although the aroma was everywhere, Xia Longze could sense a deadly breath.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I lost my composure!"
He quickly picked up the wine glass on the ground and held it carefully in his hand, his lowered eyes full of panic.
Baili Moqing looked at him with an ambiguous expression, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "It doesn't matter if you lose your composure, just don't say anything inappropriate to me!"
Xia Longze raised his head suddenly. The powerful aura almost made him breathless. "Villain, I don't understand what you mean."
Baili Moqing took the empty wine glass from his hand, returned to the table, and poured him another glass.
"Xia Longze, I will give you one last chance. Think carefully before you answer!" After saying that, he put the wine glass in his hand back into Xia Longze's stiff hand.
Seeing him hesitate, Baili Moqing glanced at Xia Wenzhe beside him and said, "I have said before that there is an idiot beside you..."
Upon hearing this, Xia Wen Ze suddenly realized something, the color drained from his face, and he subconsciously glanced at his elder brother Xia Long Ze.
Xia Longze's expression changed when he heard that. He suddenly looked at Xia Wenzhe next to him, and his guilty gaze met his.
He understood at a glance!
He was filled with shock and anger, staring at Xia Wenzhe's eyes, wishing he could release a deadly toxin to poison him to death!
This idiot who harms others and himself!!
Half a minute later, Xia Wen Ze was taken to another room by Baili Moqing's men for guarding, while Xia Longze drank the wine in his hand.
"Five years ago, Zheng Zihe, the eldest son of the Zheng family, came to me and asked for two packets of medicine. One packet was a soft fragrant powder with aphrodisiac properties, and the other was a Jiugu poison that would cause the poison to develop after three hours."
"At first, I had no idea what these two medicines were used for. It wasn't until the incident at the Xiangfu Flower Banquet came out that I began to have a vague guess."
Baili Moqing said calmly, "So, the medicine I took was actually the Soft Fragrance Powder you prepared?"
"At first, I only had some guesses and wasn't sure. But later, I heard that you were imprisoned in the Dali Temple. So, I asked someone to find a connection and secretly entered the Dali Temple prison to check on your physical condition to verify it."
"That day, I happened to meet Prince Nanyu talking to you in prison."
Baili Moqing has a very clear memory of that day. After all, he was framed by his own brother. No matter how much he wants to forget, he can't, right?
It was also on that day that he personally fed him the Wu Ji Han Poison.
"After you were fed the Wuji Cold Poison, you were unconscious for a while. I took advantage of that time to feel your pulse. The complexity of your pulse shocked me!"
Baili Moqing frowned, sensing something unusual. "Besides the Wuji Cold Poison and Soft Fragrance Powder, what else is there?"
That Jiugu poison should not have been given to him, otherwise he would not be alive until now, and he would not have been injected with the Wujihan poison.
"There was also another type of cartilage powder and aphrodisiac powder. You had at least five types of toxins in your body at that time!"
Baili Moqing's eyes paused for a moment, "Five!"
There are actually five kinds!
This means that in addition to the poison Xiaojiu gave him, he had already been poisoned elsewhere.
No wonder his impression of what Shu Yue said was a bit vague. It turned out that he had already started to lose consciousness at that time.
The poison I was poisoned with the first time was not enough to completely knock me down, so I was poisoned the second time?
This person is really meticulous in his work!
But, does Xiaojiu know that he was already poisoned when he went to the Prime Minister’s Mansion?
If you don’t know, it means someone is using Xiaojiu as a gun!
"There aren't many people in Kyoto who can make cartilage powder."
"Two years ago, I visited Mr. Zuo at Wandu Manor and hinted at the matter of the Cartilage Powder."
"Zuo Zhi veiled to me that five years ago, Mr. Rong, one of the Ninth Prince's men, had come to him and asked for a packet of cartilage powder."
"Mr. Rong, Rong Xia?"
Xia Longze nodded, "Rong Xia was once the Fourth Prince's man. He joined the Ninth Prince's army five years ago, exactly one month before the prince's accident."
Baili Moqing sneered, "Haha, so that's how it is!"
So, is this the whole truth from five years ago?
