"Search A'da's house with all your strength. Don't miss any corner, especially those corners under the table or bed. Search the carriage as well. Search any place where he stays for a long time." Jiang Youzhen suddenly ordered.
"Zhongxue, pass the order down and make sure to search thoroughly."
"Bring the people who usually interact with Ah Da here. I want to question them."
Elder Feng on the side did not avoid danger, but watched with interest.
After everyone had done their job, even Zhou Hai had gone out to do his work, he walked over to Jiang Youzhen, stroked his beard and said, "You are quite smart, kid! But why did you decide that this Ah Da was suspicious? Maybe someone else sneaked up to the water bag."
Jiang Youzhen smiled and said, "The Second Prince is suspicious and cautious by nature, and the people he trusts the most are just a few.
Lord Zhou is his confidant who he always keeps by his side. Besides himself and Lord Zhou, the only person who touches the water bag is Ah Da when he is not feeling well. "
As she spoke, she squatted down and looked at Ah Da who was tied up tightly. "Your Highness still has some trust in you, otherwise she wouldn't have kept you by her side for seven or eight years. You have let her down."
Ah Da was stunned when he heard this, and then an unknown emotion flashed in his eyes.
"Your Highness has been kind to me..."
As Ada was speaking, Zhou Hai came in with two servants, and Ada immediately stopped talking.
"These are the cook and the maid who have taken care of us these days. They were originally the elders in the mansion and are very familiar with Ah Da."
Jiang Youzhen immediately began to question, "Has Ah Da behaved abnormally in the past two days? Think about it and tell me. If he is covering up for someone, you will be punished with the same crime."
The two were startled, and the old woman spoke first.
"Yes, yes, yes!" the old woman said hurriedly.
"Ada is usually very frugal, but recently he seems to have made a fortune. He not only buys roast chicken, but also fine wine. He eats and drinks every day. Once, I saw him with a table full of fine wine and food, so I asked him about it, and he just said it was a reward from His Highness."
"Yes, yes, yes! If you put it that way, I also find it strange. Last time, Ah Da told me that he went to the largest brothel in the capital and slept with Cong Lan there for a night, but I just thought he was bragging.
Cong Lan would charge 10 taels of silver a night, how could he afford it? But he immediately took out a scented handkerchief and said it was Cong Lan's. I thought he got the handkerchief from nowhere, so I just laughed at him.
Jiang Youzhen: ...How do you know Cong Lan made ten taels of silver in one night?
But this is what it means to be poor suddenly rich, right? Maybe he had lived a hard life before, and now he has money, so he can't help but squander it.
Zhou Hai's face turned pale. At this time, another guard brought A Da's things over.
"Sir, I found two silver notes from the gap in the shaft of the carriage, one for one hundred taels."
"Sir, search his room and find these things."
Jiang Youzhen turned around and saw that there were only a few things on the ground, a worn purse and a few sets of clothes, but a pink handkerchief was particularly eye-catching.
Jiang Youzhen stepped forward and asked the cook, "Is this the handkerchief he showed you?"
The cook nodded. "Yes! This is the one. I remember there are mandarin ducks embroidered on it."
Zhou Hai stepped forward, took the handkerchief in his hand and examined it, and found words on it, "It is indeed Cong Lan's, and there are words embroidered on it."
"Ah Da, what else do you have to quibble about? With your monthly salary of one tael of silver, how could you have two hundred taels of silver notes? And you're squandering it like this.
His Highness said before that you were a miserable person. Your mother entrusted your son to him before she died, and he never forgot his promise. He planned to release you and let you take a sum of money and leave the capital to live a peaceful life, but you turned a blind eye to his kindness. "
It turns out there is such a story behind this. It seems that the second prince has a past relationship with A-da's mother. No wonder he has always stayed with A-da as a coachman.
Ah Da burst into tears and recalled his mother's last will and testament, which said that his father was saved by His Highness' biological mother and asked him to stay by His Highness' side and do good things to repay him.
But he did such a thing. If his mother knew about it, she would definitely not forgive him.
"I was blinded by money at the time. A masked man tempted me with silver. I was a wine lover and I also liked Cong Lan. I had no appetite, so I couldn't resist the temptation and agreed.
He said that as long as he could find a way to put the drug into the water bag of the prince, the drug was a chronic poison, colorless and tasteless, and long-term use would cause chronic poisoning. As long as I didn't say anything, no one would suspect me. He also said that after the matter was accomplished, he would give me another 300 taels, and then I would take the silver and fly away, living a free and unrestrained life. "
Zhou Hai was so angry that his chest rose and fell violently when he heard this. "You stupid thing, do you think they will let you go after you poisoned His Highness? They will only kill to silence you.
You are not dead yet because they are still waiting for His Highness to die! Once His Highness dies, you will die."
Ah Da suddenly collapsed to the ground. He was now feeling scared.
"When and where was the poison given to you? How was it possible to contact you afterwards?"
"It was half a month ago, in Jin Province. After that, we returned to the capital, and that man came to our door again. The day before yesterday, I went to see Cong Lan, and while we were talking, he suddenly appeared and asked me why Your Highness hadn't died yet. I said that Your Highness had hired a miracle doctor to suppress the poison.
He was very anxious and asked me to take action again. But now His Highness is heavily guarded and I can't get close to him. I have been looking for an opportunity these two days. "
"Are you going to look for another opportunity to harm His Highness? You are truly a ruthless person."
Zhou Hai was so angry that he wanted to cut this man into pieces. His Highness was too soft-hearted. This Ah Da looked like a sneaky and cunning person, but he didn't expect that he could be so cruel.
"How do you contact each other?" Jiang Youzhen was very calm.
"We agreed before that no matter if it succeeds or not, we will meet at the back mountain at 5 p.m. in three days. Because I will be releasing the horses at 5 p.m., he feels it will be safer there."
"Take everyone away! Keep them under strict surveillance first." Jiang Youzhen waved his hand.
After Zhou Hai sent everyone away, he looked at Jiang Youzhen who was in deep thought, and did not dare to disturb him.
"Since this person wants to meet outside, it means that there should be no other accomplices inside except Ah Da."
Zhou Hai nodded, "The people on duty here these days are all trusted ones."
Jiang Youzhen glanced at him, and he immediately said, "Except Ah Da."
"But do you think what Ah Da said is true or false?" Zhou Hai didn't dare to believe it easily at this moment.
"He can't be the mastermind. He can only be bribed. It should be true. Why don't you send someone to ask Cong Lan and you will know? Since he is a masked man, Cong Lan should have an impression of him."
Zhou Hai nodded, immediately walked out to give an order, but quickly walked back in.
"What are your plans?"
"Luring into a trap! This is the only quick trick. But if he had sent someone to keep an eye on this place, he wouldn't have been fooled. But I'm more inclined to believe that he didn't know what was going on here, because he didn't even know that Your Highness had invited people from the Divine Doctor Valley to come."
