Cheng Qi murmured an "oh", scratched her head, and seriously repeated what she had just said to Fang Zhi.

  Just as Chu Ci was about to speak, a stern rebuke came from behind him, "What's all the commotion? There are still many things to be done in the Ming government office, do you have the mood to make trouble here?"

  Cheng Qi had no choice but to shut her mouth awkwardly and didn't dare say anything more.

  "It was I who called Rong Lang back. Something has happened on the west side of the city, and I plan to have you all go over there together tomorrow to investigate."

  Chu Ci originally wanted to tell Ming Tai Shi directly that she would accompany the Crown Prince to the palace tomorrow, but as soon as she heard Ming Tai Shi say that something had happened on the west side of the city, she quickly remembered that Emperor Chi seemed to have told her that he went out for a whole day yesterday and also went to the west side of the city. Did something serious happen in the west?

  "So what's going on?" Chu Ci couldn't help but ask.

  Cheng Qi was holding several volumes of books in his hands, he flipped through them for a while, and handed one of the books to her, saying: "Someone colluded with court officials to sell Qin Zhao's banned poisonous white mustard."

  Upon hearing this, Chu Ci raised her eyes and looked at Cheng Qi with a hint of surprise, then turned back to the book in her hand and continued reading.

  She naturally knew what was Baijin poison, and it was said that as early as a hundred years ago, Qin Zhao had exploded a white scallion disaster. People who drank this poisonous water would not die immediately, but would gradually deepen their addiction, and eventually their bodies would rot to death in gradual thinning.

  The most important thing is that people who have contracted this poison can infect others through blood contact.

  It is recorded in the historical records that a hundred years ago, the disaster of the white flood almost caused Qin Zhao to fall into trouble. Later, it was unknown which anonymous predecessor found the divine water from somewhere and helped Qin Zhao get through the difficulties...

  But Qin Zhao also suffered heavy losses, and from then on, our ancestors made a rule that anyone who dared to read Bai Cui in Qin Zhao would be executed along with their entire clan.

  I've only heard about the horrors of Bai Jing's poison since I was young, but never thought that one day I would hear about such a thing happening right under Kyoto's nose...

  She immediately sensed that this matter was not simple, and...

  Chu Ci suddenly remembered that when the Crown Prince mentioned it to her, he seemed to have said that the official who had an accident in the west of the city was his subordinate...

  Thinking of this, Chu Ci was slightly startled in her heart. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Ming Taishi continue to look at her and say: "This matter is somewhat related to the Crown Prince..."

  Chu Ci glared over somewhat irrationally: "Taishi, where's the evidence?"

  "I just said it's a bit complicated, after all, the official who got into trouble is from the Crown Prince's side, what are you getting worked up about?"

  "No, anyone can talk nonsense, but isn't the first rule of handling a case in the Ministry of Justice to rely on evidence? It's not that I'm excited or not, it's just that the official has committed an offense, and before there is evidence to prove that the Crown Prince is also involved, you cannot say that the Crown Prince is also implicated." Chu Ci countered very calmly.

  Cheng Qi obviously sensed the gunpowder smell in Chu Ci's words and coughed slightly to ease the atmosphere: "That, Chu Ci, don't be so anxious, Master Taishang just said it casually." Turning his head to Master Taishang again, "Master... you'd better not mention the Crown Prince, Chu Ci is now so petty that he doesn't allow anyone to say a bad word about the Crown Prince..."

  "......" Chu Ci: "In the distant sky, the sun and moon shine bright; In the vast wilderness, the wind whispers through the night."
