Chapter 211 Guilty or Not, Alerting the Snake
"Although he is guilty, does that mean you are innocent?"
Fu Cha Zhixi stared straight at Master Li and spoke in a cold tone.
In order to prevent this Master Zhang from being a maze set by them, she had to trick Master Li.
"Yuhu, call Eunuch Chai over and ask him to take these two people away and interrogate them thoroughly."
Fucha Zhixi spoke and gave instructions to Yuhu.
"Yes, my dear, I will do it now."
Yuhu glared at Master Zhang fiercely and ran out in a hurry.
Soon, Eunuch Chai brought the young eunuch and dragged the two masters away.
"My lady, aren't we alerting the enemy too much?"
Aunt Fangqiu asked cautiously.
Such a big move would hardly fail to attract the attention of the spies around.
"What I want is to alert the enemy. If you dare to attack us, be prepared for me to overturn the table."
"Moreover, things are different now. I have Xiao Fuzhen and have been appointed as a concubine. Naturally, I don't have to be as cautious as before. Sometimes showing your attitude can actually make the little mouse hiding behind you feel a little scared."
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at little Fu Zhen sleeping sweetly on the wooden bed, and she couldn't help but speak in a softer tone.
"But Madam, if we expose this matter directly, won't they use more covert methods to attack us?"
Although Aunt Fangqiu agreed with what Fucha Zhixi said, she still couldn't understand it.
"Aunt, do you think that even if we don't make a big deal out of this, these people won't find other ways to attack us in the future?"
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at Aunt Fang Qiu and spoke.
"Your Majesty is right. I am too shallow-minded."
Aunt Fangqiu suddenly woke up as if from a dream. She had indeed thought things were too simple.
"So there is no need to go through so much trouble in many cases. I think Auntie should understand the principle that strength can defeat skill. Moreover, we don't know what the other party's purpose is yet."
Fucha Zhixi said with a smile.
"Yes, I actually forgot this most important point."
"Although this tapioca flour is a bit harmful to the spleen and stomach, adding just a little bit will not harm the body. Why did they go to so much trouble to add this to your dessert?"
Aunt Fangqiu really couldn't understand what the person behind this was trying to do with all this effort.
"It's no big deal if they can't see it. Anyway, I naturally have ways to make them not dare to provoke me."
Fucha Zhixi spoke in a cold tone.
"It's so noisy, but the little guy wasn't even woken up."
Fu Cha Zhixi looked down at the blushing little Fu Zhen and smiled helplessly. This little guy is really carefree.
This was indeed a helpless thing for Fu Zhen himself. Although he wanted to learn more, the child had limited physical strength. In addition, he now had full confidence in Fu Cha Zhixi's abilities, so he was naturally willing to fall asleep peacefully in front of her.
Soon, Eunuch Chai walked into the hall respectfully and bowed to Fu Cha Zhixi.
"My lady, I just sent someone to check the residences of these two people. A silver note of 100 taels was found in Master Z's room, but nothing unusual was found in Master Li's room."
As he said this, Eunuch Chai handed the silver note in his hand to Aunt Fangqiu.
Aunt Fangqiu took the banknote and looked at it carefully before presenting it to Fucha Zhixi.
Fu Cha Zhixi glanced at the banknote and had no intention of taking it and taking a closer look. After all, there could be no mark representing one's identity on such a thing.
"There is indeed something fishy about it."
Fucha Zhixi snorted coldly and spoke.
"After careful interrogation, I found that Master Li is indeed an innocent man."
"As for this Master Zhang, he did tell us everything, but he only said who he contacted. As for who was behind this and what was the purpose of him doing this, he knew nothing at all."
"I am incompetent, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Having said that, Eunuch Chai knelt down in front of Fu Cha Zhixi.
"It's nothing. Since you found out that Master Li is innocent, I will trust your judgment."
"As for Master Zhang, if you really can't get anything out of him, forget it. Find a suitable excuse to send him back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This palace cannot tolerate a servant who betrays his master."
Fu Cha Zhixi was not very surprised by this result. After all, if she hadn't known about this plot in advance, she probably wouldn't have discovered the problem.
After all, cassava flour is not poison, and such things are difficult to detect in advance.
It can be seen that Cao Qinmo is really a meticulous woman, and she can even come up with such a method.
"Come on, I'll go right away."
Eunuch Chai nodded and walked out.
"Yuhu, go get ten taels of silver and give it to Master Li to calm him down."
Fu Cha Zhixi then gave instructions to Yu Hu.
"Yes, I will do it right away."
Yuhu spoke up.
"By the way, why didn't I see Suqin today? Where did this girl go?"
Fu Cha Zhixi asked with some confusion.
"Reporting to Her Majesty, Miss Suqin went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to collect this month's allowance. She should be back by now. Is there anything Your Majesty wants to talk to Miss Suqin about?"
Aunt Fangqiu began to explain.
"Yes, it's time to collect the monthly allowance these two days, but I forgot about it."
"Ask Suqin to come over. I have something to ask her."
Fucha Zhixi spoke.
"Yes, I will call Miss Suqin over right away."
Aunt Fangqiu nodded in agreement.
Soon he came in with Suqin.
"My lady, is there anything you want me to do?"
After Suqin bowed to Fucha Zhixi, she took the initiative to ask.
"I remember you can make snacks too?"
Fu Cha Zhixi thought for a moment and then asked.
"Reporting to the queen, my servant's skill in making snacks is really not up to par with the taste of the masters. I can't be considered an expert."
Suqin said somewhat embarrassedly.
"That's not important. I want to ask, what snacks require tapioca flour?"
Fu Cha Zhixi smiled and asked.
"Your Highness, I don't know much, but if I remember correctly, a little tapioca flour needs to be added to the pea yellow."
After Suqin thought about it carefully, she spoke.
"In that case, you can ask the kitchen to make a few more pea yellows and send some to each palace."
Fu Cha Zhixi raised an ambiguous smile at the corner of his mouth, looked at Su Qin and gave instructions.
"Yes, slave, go right away."
Although Suqin was a little confused, she still bowed obediently and went to the small kitchen.
"My lady, are you trying to 'alert the enemy'?"
