Consort of a Thousand Faces - Chapter 115

Chapter 115
Su Xi-er raised both of her hands up and pushed on his chest heavily . "This servant broke the rules and sneaked out of the posthouse . I am ready to accept any punishment, Prince Hao . "





Pei Qianhao stepped away from her . "This prince has heard this sentence many times . If I really wanted to punish you ruthlessly, you would have long lost your life . "

"So that means that you are a warm person underneath your cold expression, and have a kind heart, Prince Hao . "

Before Prince Hao could respond the capital's County Magistrate, Lord Zhang, arrived at the front door of the teahouse with the bailiff runners . He didn't look inside, but bowed . "The County Magistrate of the capital pays respects to Prince Hao . "

Pei Qianhao sat down again . His face was calm, as if he had known that the County Magistrate would come . "Come in . "

Lord Zhang entered the teahouse with a few bailiff runners . "Prince Hao, the coroner has found the cause of death; the two Miss' from the Wei family were forced to inhale a type of medicinal powder which stops people from breathing, and they ultimately died from suffocation . After interrogating a few waiters, we found that the only person who entered their room was the waiter that Prince Hao has kept behind in the teahouse . "





Pei Qianhao shook his hand . "Just go and find him . There's no need to ask this prince about this matter . "

"Prince Hao is wise . " Lord Zhang bowed to pay respects again, then instructed his subordinates to go to the rear kitchen of the teahouse to look for the manager and the waiter .

Pei Qianhao remained unruffled, and lightly knocked the table with his fingers[1] . "Pour the wine . "

Su Xi-er walked forward, picked up the pot and poured a cup of wine . "Prince Hao, you already have a lot of wine from the palace . You can't drink anymore . " She then put the pot of wine onto another table on the side .

I'm not worried about him, but afraid that he will get drunk . I won't forget what happened in the woods beside the Palace Side Quarters . It was that night that he stepped into the Palace Side Quarters after drinking too much and b . u . mped into me .

"The wine from Nanzhao is very different from Beimin's; it's like nectar dew, with a trace of floral scent . The wine from this teahouse is strong, but the taste has a trace of osmanthus flower . " Pei Qianhao didn't say whether he would continue to drink or not, but instead began recounting the taste of each wine .

Lord Zhang thought Pei Qianhao was talking to him, and replied respectfully . "There is a county in Nanzhao called Flower County . When brewing wine, nectar from Flower County is always added . Not to mention other things, Nanzhao's wine is definitely the best in the world . "

Pei Qianhao looked at Lord Zhang . "This wine is indeed the best in the world . "

At this moment, the bailiff runner who went to the rear kitchen returned with an anxious look . "Your Excellency, this subordinate has checked the whole place once, but couldn't find anyone . "


Lord Zhang's eyes widened before he personally went to the rear kitchen . After he was done with the rear kitchen, he went to the backyard to look through each and every room, but he was still unable to find anyone .

"It looks like the manager and waiter murdered the Miss' from the Wei Family, now having escaped in fear of punishment . All bailiff runners, chase after them immediately . "





After Lord Zhang gave his instructions, he turned to bow to Pei Qianhao . "Prince Hao, please take your time to enjoy . This humble official will be leaving to catch the criminals . "

Pei Qianhao waved his hand . "Handling the case is important . You should hurry . "

Lord Zhang nodded and walked out of the teahouse, all the bailiff runners quickly following suit .

Su Xi-er knew that it wasn't the manager and waiter who murdered the Wei Miss' . But why did they decide to escape?

"Drink with this prince . " Pei Qianhao pointed to the pot of wine on the other table . "Bring it over . "

Su Xi-er shook her head . "Prince Hao, you shouldn't have any more drinks tonight . "

"Bring it over . " Pei Qianhao's voice was cold, but Su Xi-er didn't respond .

At last, Pei Qianhao glanced at her before standing up to get the pot of wine himself . He didn't expect to be blocked by Su Xi-er when he was halfway there .

Su Xi-er held the pot of wine in her hand tightly . "Prince Hao, you are not allowed to drink more wine tonight . "

How do I know if he will get drunk or not? If he does anything unexpected, I will be the 'unlucky' one .

"I'm not allowed to just because you say so?" Pei Qianhao looked at her with narrowed eyes, raising his right hand to grip the hand that she held the wine with .

1 . Apparently it's some etiquette to express one's grat . i . tude for the person pouring tea or wine .
