Some people would become the focus of the entire venue as long as they spoke.
Zheng Jingguang was such a person.
As soon as he spoke, everyone looked at him.
Even Li Er had to face the other party's intentions.
"Could it be wrong?"
Li Ke laughed and asked.
Facing Zheng Jingguang's oppressive gaze, he was equally fearless.
The Zheng family of Xingyang was very powerful. Even Li Er, as the emperor, did not dare to fight them head-on because he was worried that the country would be unstable.
However, Li Ke did not need to think so much. He did not need to worry about any messy consequences.
Since you don't want me to have an easy time, I'll let you know the consequences of offending me.
"The ignorant are fearless."
"You're still young and don't understand too many things. Even the Emperor didn't say anything, so you're the one who's talkative.”
Zheng Jingguang shook his head and sighed.
He didn't take Li Ke seriously, showing his disregard.
Perhaps he felt that Li Ke's identity was not worth him putting down his identity to preach.
"Li Ke, don't change the topic. Quickly tell me about how your fine salt poisoned Zhang Zuo and his family.”
Zheng Wenshan quickly replied, pointing at Li Ke and shouting.
However, he found it strange in his heart. This vice clan leader of his was known as a smiling tiger. When did he become so easy to talk to?
However, he still followed Zheng Jingguang's wishes and seized Li Ke's salt master.
"Are all the people of the Zheng family in Xingyang a pile of shit?”
"There's no evidence of how Big Brother Zhang Zuo's family died and you're saying that I poisoned them to death with poisonous salt.”
"I seriously suspect that the death of Brother Zhang Zuo's family was caused by the Zheng family of Xingyang, who poisoned Master Salt and framed him. Their purpose was to be jealous that Master Salt sold more salt than the Zheng family.”
Li Ke sneered.
He shouted loudly.
The Zheng family of Xingyang had the highest share of salt trading in Chang 'an City among the five surnames, seven Wangs and seven families.
When Li Ke said this, many people agreed, but not a single one dared to agree.
The Zheng family of Xingyang had a deep influence in Chang 'an. They were already there before Li Tang's family moved into Chang' an.
He knew this from the fact that Li Er and the deputy chief of the Zheng family of Xingyang were on equal footing.
"Impudent!"
"Brother Zhang Zuo's family was clearly poisoned to death by your fine salt.”
"You can't prove anything now, right? Just follow me back and investigate.”
Zheng Wenshan shouted.
Before he came, he didn't expect Li Ke to be so difficult to deal with.
He didn't expect the Emperor to be here personally.
He originally wanted to forcefully take Li Ke away, but he did not expect that Li Ke had an expert by his side and even provoked the Emperor.
"You don't have any evidence to prove that the salt master's salt is poisonous. Why should you take me away?”
"Even though you are the governor of the capital, you are still not enough here. Show me the evidence.”
Li Ke said coldly.
"Hmph, you have a glib tongue. What proof do you have that your fine salt didn't poison Zhang Zuo's family to death?”
Zheng Wenshan said in a deep voice.
Facing Li Ke's insult, he couldn't find a reason to refute.
Because Li Ke was right, he really wasn't good enough.
Deputy Patriarch Zheng Jingguang, Emperor Li Er, Secretary of State Fang Xuanling, and Minister of Personnel Zhangsun Wuji were all here.
Even though he was the governor of the capital and held a very high position, it was still not enough.
"Come, come, come. Invite all the doctors in Chang 'an.”
"To test the poison on Zhang Zuo's brother, and at the same time, to test the poison on my salt master's salt.”
"Let all the commoners present see if my salt master's fine salt is poisonous, and if it's the culprit that poisoned Brother Zhang Zuo's family.”
Li Ke laughed.
These people didn't dare to check Zhang Zuo's family at first, probably because they were afraid of being checked.
If that was the case, he would check them on the spot and see if these Zheng's of Xingyang dared to check them in person.
Li Er, who was sitting on the stool, nodded without leaving a trace.
The best way to investigate evidence was to start from the root.
He didn't need to remind Li Ke to check the bodies of fine salt, Zhang Zuo's brother, and his family.
Even if it didn't make sense that Brother Zhang Zuo's family was poisoned, the fact that the fine salt wasn't poisonous could explain many things.
"This…"
"Examining the specific poison is a very complicated matter. It may involve autopsy, and it may take a few days to determine what poison caused it.”
"Patriarch, Your Majesty, what do you think?”
Zheng Wenshan said with a troubled expression.
He was asking Zheng Jingguang and Li Er.
But in reality, he was asking Zheng Jingguang what he should do.
"The governor's considerations are reasonable.”
"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion to discuss with you.”
Zheng Jingguang immediately replied before Li Er could speak.
"Patriarch Zheng, please speak."
Li Er frowned, but he still let Zheng Jingguang speak.
In his mind, a salt master was not worth a formal war with the Zheng family of Xingyang.
If there was a reasonable explanation, Li Er was still willing to listen.
"Poison tests are very troublesome. It is indeed not appropriate to check on the spot. Moreover, the two of us don't have that much time to wait here for the results of the test.”
Zheng Jingguang said in a deep voice, and a faint smile appeared on his face again.
Every time this phenomenon appeared, it meant that the person was full of confidence and everything was under control.
"Not bad."
Li Er said in a deep voice.
"The governor has no evidence to prove that the salt master's salt is poisonous. It is indeed wrong to capture Boss Li. What does Your Majesty think?”
Zheng Jingguang said again.
"Not bad."
Li Er frowned slightly and raised his guard.
With his understanding of Zheng Jingguang, this person would not admit defeat so easily.
Not only him, but even Fang Xuanling and Zhangsun Wuji felt that it was strange. Even Li Ke felt that it was strange.
"However, this commoner feels that Boss Li's Salt Master is also unable to prove that it was the culprit who poisoned Zhang Zuo's family.”
"After all, Your Majesty, you also know that if one kind of food is used together with another kind of food, it may also cause toxicity. We can't rule out the possibility that the salt master doesn't have poison.”
" For the sake of the common people, I suggest that we close the salt master's shop first and open it after we find out the truth. This is good for both Boss Li and the representative of Chang 'an City. What do you think, Your Majesty?”
Zheng Jingguang narrowed his eyes and smiled brightly.
He made a suggestion based on the safety of the people in Chang 'an.
Suspecting that the salt master was poisonous, it was hard to guard against the suspension of its business.
No one could say that the Zheng family of Xingyang deliberately bullied Li Ke's salt master.
Moreover, some people even felt that Zheng Jingguang's actions were for the sake of the people.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Li Er fell silent.
Fang Xuanling and Zhangsun Wuji immediately looked troubled.
This plan was really vicious!
It seemed like a suggestion, but it achieved their goal.
If the salt master closed today, it would be difficult to open tomorrow.
Both of them knew this, but they could not think of a good countermeasure to deal with it.
Li Ke narrowed his eyes and did not say anything, but his gaze was on Li Er.
More than 500 people, including more than 100 people from the capital government, also looked at Li Er.
Li Er was silent, thinking of a countermeasure.
Suddenly, he stood up and walked towards the salt master.
Under everyone's gaze, Li Er took a little salt from each of the slots of the fine salt and appeared in front of everyone again.
"I can't prove it, but I think I can guarantee that Master Salt's salt is not poisonous.”
"As the Son of Heaven, I tested the poison myself. If it was poisoned and I died, would the people of Chang 'an not believe me?”
Li Er smiled confidently.
He put the salt in his hand into his mouth.
He took a water bottle from Li Junxian's waist and drank it before anyone could react.
After a wave of operations, he confidently swept his gaze over the dumbfounded commoners present.
With the Emperor's prestige, who wouldn't believe that he had personally eaten salt to test the poison?
There was no way the Salt Master was poisonous!
Zheng Jingguang's expression darkened.
