There was an accident in the teahouse, and the teahouse where the accident happened was not next to it, it was the Xiao family's new preserved fruit that everyone wanted to taste recently. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info When he heard that someone was tasting it at Xiao's house, he was poisoned and died because of the preserved fruit, Xiao Chu's heart suddenly pressed to the bottom of his heart. I didn't care about it at the moment, but hurriedly got up and walked towards the first floor.

The first floor had already exploded, and the crowd gathered at the bottom to say this thing, and I don't know who shouted "Miss Xiao" is coming, and the frightened guests who were drinking tea in the teahouse immediately surrounded and began to question what was going on.

Preserved fruit eats dead people, this is not a thing that can be laughed at, these guests who have eaten preserved fruit naturally ask the Xiao family to give an explanation. Human life is at stake, the mood of the guests is naturally unstable, afraid that these questioners will hurt the eldest lady, the guys in the teahouse and the three shopkeepers hurriedly protected the eldest lady on the one hand, and comforted the guests who questioned on the other, and the three shopkeepers kept shouting at the top of their throats.

"Everyone, please stop being angry, please stop being angry, we will definitely give everyone an explanation for this matter, and we will definitely find out."

"What to check, this matter is clearly placed here, what else needs to be checked. This is clearly your Xiao family wanting to make black money, and you want to harm us with that poisonous fruit. “

Some people coaxed, others were naturally driven, and the noise was even worse at the moment, and the anger that intensified so that the three shopkeepers couldn't suppress it, so they could only keep shouting: "Don't get excited, don't be angry, what kind of family my Xiao family is, all the neighbors know it in their hearts." The Xiao family has been in Kyoto for so many years, when has this kind of thing happened, there must be something implicit in this matter, and there must be some misunderstanding. Neighbors, please put down the fire and calm the anger first, we will report this matter to the official to find out, and will definitely give you an explanation, please don't worry, don't hurt my eldest lady. ”

Xu is three shopkeeper's words worked, thinking carefully about the Xiao family for so many years, there has indeed been such a conscience thing, so some people can't help but whisper in private. Although he was a little relieved in his heart, after all, human life was there, and if they wanted to rest assured, this person couldn't settle down in his heart, so he could only talk in private.

People are no longer noisy, but this kind of thing is also very important, after calming the noisy people, the three shopkeepers hurriedly looked towards Xiao Chusu. As early as hearing that something had happened in the teahouse, Xiao Chuxuan's heart sank all the way, and a few thoughts suddenly flashed in his heart. Especially when she went downstairs and saw the person lying on the first floor who had died, her heart was even more depressed.

The noise and questioning around her were all deaf to her, and after squinting at the guest who was lying on the ground and had returned to the West Heaven, Xiao Chusu was silent for a long time, and directly pushed aside the crowd and stepped forward. Ignoring the people around him, he squatted down directly next to the person.

Juan Pa wrapped her hands and carefully examined it, the dead man is indeed taboo, but fortunately, this person's death is not terrible, so Xiao Chusu is also calm. Looking directly at the deceased in front of everyone, Xiao Chu's eyebrows tightened unprecedentedly.

At this time, the corners of the lips were oozing blood, and the face was blue and black, and at a glance, it was clear that it was not a sudden death, but must be related to drug poison. After interrogating the guest who died in the teahouse, Xiao Chusu raised his head and looked at Xiang Zhu, whose face had long been white, and said, "Xiang Zhu, report to the official immediately, and by the way, let someone go to invite the doctor of the Rejuvenation Hall." ”

As soon as the command fell, Xiang Zhu immediately left the office, and when Xiang Zhu left, Xiao Chu got up and looked at the guy and asked.

"Where was this guest sitting just now? What did you drink and what did you eat? ”

"Back to the eldest lady, this guest was sitting here just now, and this table was ordered by him after he came in."

"These?" Looking at the tea bowls and preserved fruit desserts on the table, Xiao Chuxuan said: "These things are all wrapped for me, and the official messenger will come and hand them over to them in person. Remember, be sure to testify with your associates. ”

The eldest lady's order, the man should have remembered it, and hurriedly nodded to note it. After seeing the guy nodding his head in a row, Xiao Chuxuan looked at the whispering guest and said.

"Today's incident is extremely strange, and my Xiao family will definitely give you a satisfactory answer to this matter. However, here, I, Xiao Chusu, can clearly tell everyone that the Xiao family acts above board, is worthy of the world, and the land is right, and my Xiao family will not earn any money without conscience. Although I don't know what happened today, I can clearly tell you that I have personally tasted everything before the Xiao family's preserved fruits were sold, and I will definitely not use poisonous fruits to harm you. So please give me a little time for the Xiao family for this matter, and I swear by the reputation of the Xiao family for decades. This will inevitably be clarified. ”

The words were loud, Rao was very angry in his heart, and after listening to Xiao Chusu's words, the voices of those whispers were obviously smaller.

After looking at everyone and looking at them who were silent, Xiao Chusu turned his head to look at the shopkeeper of the teahouse behind him, and said: "The guests of today's teahouse, all those who have been to our teahouse, are not allowed to accept anyone. The Xiao family teahouse will be closed from today, give me a quick investigation of this matter, as for the preserved fruits sold from the tea house, I will recover all the fruits from the tea house, and I will investigate it vigorously. ”

"Recover them all, Miss, this ......"

"What? Can't do it? With a sharp sweep, the shopkeeper who made the sound trembled, although he was shocked by Xiao Chushu, but the shopkeeper of the teahouse still said: "Chase them all back, isn't our Xiao family a huge loss, this ......"

"Even if it is a loss, all the preserved fruits sold will have to be recovered, I just said that the Xiao family will not earn any money that violates their conscience. Even if you know that something will never happen to our preserved fruit, you have to settle this heart for everyone. ”

"Yes, the little one knows."

The eldest lady has already said this, what else can the shopkeeper of the teahouse say, even if it is the third shopkeeper, he can only keep his mouth shut now. Although Xiao Chu's thunder order lost the Xiao family, it also gave everyone a sense of relief. Because of Xiao Chu's words, although the people who went to the teahouse today were still apprehensive, they didn't say anything or continue to make trouble, but they had a long time, and finally asked Xiao Chusu to give them a satisfactory answer, so they left the Xiao family teahouse.

After waiting for the people in the teahouse to leave, the people from the government also arrived, and Xiang Zhu also happened to bring the doctor from the Huichun Hall. After giving some silver taels and inviting the doctor of the Rejuvenation Hall to go back to the official mansion with the official office to inspect the corpse and those preserved fruit teas, Xiao Chuxuan sat down nearby and clenched his hands and fists.

The fists were clenched tightly, but there was not much look on his face, just looking at such a young lady, Xiang Zhu couldn't help but ask.

"Miss, how is this matter good?"

Because the doctor of the Huichun Hall returned to the yamen with the official office, and inspected the corpse and the preserved fruit tea together, the Xiao family quickly found out what happened to the deceased. After getting the result from the doctor and stuffing some silver to thank the other party for helping, Xiang Zhu frowned and said anxiously.

"Miss, Dr. Peng just said that the person did die of poison, and poison was also found on the preserved fruit of our Xiao family. Things are clear, miss, what do you say you can do now? ”

Worried that he would ask someone to buy it in advance and make an inspection that was unfavorable to him, so Xiao Chuxuan ordered Xiang Zhu to go to the Huichun Hall to invite someone first, and checked the real situation together, so she had the bottom in her heart. I thought someone would buy it privately, but now it seems that the person who acted was far more dangerous than she thought. Poisoning the preserved fruit directly, no matter who comes to test it, the Xiao family will inevitably have nothing to do with it.

Sitting on the chair and holding his hands tightly, Xiao Chu was silent and others did not dare to say much. After being silent for a long time, Xiao Chu was stunned before asking, "What kind of poison does Doctor Peng of the Rejuvenation Hall say that that person died of?" ”

"Paraquat."

"Paraquat, what's that?"

"Answer Miss, it is a poison commonly used in agricultural plants, and it is generally used for insect pests. Although it is usually only used for insect pests, if people eat it by mistake, they will die. ”

Xiao Chushu's inquiry was answered by Uncle Lian, and looking at Uncle Lian's frowning brows, Xiao Chuxuan also knew what he was worried about.

If it is a poison, there may be room for it, but this paraquat is a deadly poison. If someone is caught in this matter, it can be said that the Xiao family is trying to save costs, and they collect poisonous works and kill them for money.

A large amount of paraquat was found on the preserved fruit, which was indeed unfavorable for the Xiao family, and immediately looked at the branch manager sent by the Tang family, Xiao Chuxuan said: "The selection of this preserved fruit is personally selected by your Tang family, and even the production of preserved fruit is pickled by the Tang family themselves." I have repeatedly stated that you must be very careful when eating, but you are loose in the choice of ingredients? ”

"Miss Xiao, we don't dare to let go of this selection of materials." Xiao Chu's words really frightened the head of the Tang family, and he immediately waved his hand and said: "When we came, the master gave me a thousand instructions, and I definitely didn't dare to do these unconscionable things. Besides, our Tang family's preserved fruits are also famous there, whether it is in the selection of ingredients or pickles, all the thought is used in each place, and it is absolutely impossible to destroy their own signboard and do such a thing that harms people's lives for the sake of that little money. ”

This matter really has nothing to do with them, so when he replied, the head of the Tang family was also anxious.

Just came here, no matter how dark Rao's heart was, it was impossible to do this kind of mess in the first place. At that moment, Xiao Chu nodded and said, "I just asked in passing, don't worry about the Tang family's affairs, besides, this paraquat is not a rare thing, as long as you put your mind to it, it is really not impossible to think about it." ”

"Miss, what do you mean?"

Keenly aware of Xiao Chusu's words, Xiang Zhu and Uncle Lian inquired in unison, but this inquiry did not get Xiao Chusu's answer, but paused for a moment, Xiao Chusu turned his head to look at the Tang family director and asked: "The Tang family's director, this preserved fruit is made from the beginning of the selection of ingredients and pickles, but you keep an eye on it." ”

"Exactly, after all, this is the craft of our Tang family, so everything is our own experience, and all the guys are also brought from the Tang family."

"So, from the time the preserved fruit is made to the time it is sent to the tea house and the tea house, no one has touched it?"

"The eldest lady has orders, this food must be careful at all times, so we are also very vigilant. No one has ever entered the preserved fruit branch, and even the preserved fruit in this branch is sure that it was the Xiao family's guys who let us send it away. ”

"That's right." After a little understanding, he looked at the shopkeeper of the teahouse, and Xiao Chuxuan asked, "What about the teahouse?" Who has touched the preserved fruit at will, or passed through the hands of those who don't know the roots? ”

"Back to the eldest lady, our teahouse has always been careful, the guys are all diligent, and they are all old guys who have been working for many years. These preserved fruits were transported from the branch and then to the teahouse, except for our own guys, they were not touched by outsiders. ”

"So you can rest assured from making to selling."

Xiao Chuxuan didn't fall behind in every link, because she had to clearly figure out every link in order to find suspicious mistakes and omissions from this matter. Xiao Chu frowned and pondered, and the others didn't dare to ask more questions, for fear of messing up the eldest lady's deliberations.

It was the pestle there, holding his breath, and just when the room was so quiet that even the sound of wheezing was about to dissipate, Xiao Chuxuan suddenly raised his head and said, "Xiangzhu, the identity of the deceased can be found out by the official office." ”

"The man?" After a pause, Xiang Zhu replied: "I remembered it at the time, so I listened attentively, and listened to the words of the poor master, it seems to be from the west of the city." ”

"Where is the west side of the city?"

Although Kyoto is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is also a gap between the rich and the poor. And Kyoto, where such officials and businessmen gather, is the place where the gap between the rich and the poor is the largest if Xiao Chushu is concerned.

The whole Kyoto is divided into the east of the city, the west of the city, the south of the city and the north of the city, the east of the city is the place where the rich people live, and the west of the city can be said to be the poorest place in Kyoto, Xiao Churui often wanders around the blind kidnapping alley, which is located in the west of the city.

When he heard that this person lived in the west of the city, Xiao Chuxuan immediately had a little meaning, nodded his head, knocked on the table with his fingertips one after another, Xiao Chuxuan said: "It seems that this deceased, we have to investigate carefully." ”

"Miss, you mean, this person's death may not be simple." Uncle Lian answered, and Xiao Chu replied.

"That's what I think, Uncle Lian, think about it for yourself, since this preserved fruit is on the market, how hot the business of our Xiao family teahouse is. The guests who come and go every day, even if there are not thousands, there are hundreds, and there are so many guests coming in and out, which one of them does not come to the teahouse to try it. Everyone ordered the preserved fruit, and also tasted our family's preserved fruit, and no one had an accident to give birth to this person's bad luck, so he died after eating one or two grains. ordered to make a mistake, so such an unlucky thing, heh, I don't believe that there is such a coincidental bad luck, which fell on his head and on the head of our Xiao family. ”

"So what the eldest lady means is that someone wants to use this person's business to ruin our Xiao family's business." Xiang Zhu said.

"It's more convincing than bad luck, and besides, it's not only convincing, but it also happens to find suspicious people."

"Suspicious, the eldest lady is suspicious...... "There is a spectrum in my heart, but no one dared to say this guess before Xiao Chuxuan. They were taboo in their hearts, but Xiao Chusu didn't want to be taboo, his lips and eyes flashed, and Xiao Chushu said with a smile.

"Jiang family, it seems that this old man of the Jiang family is even more stingy than I thought." At this point, the tapping on his hand also stopped, Xiao Chu pursed his lips and smiled, and said with a sigh and a smile.

"It seems that we are staring at the piece of meat in people's mouths, and people are unhappy in their hearts, and they want to play some unsightly methods. Since people want to play with their minds, our Xiao family can't stand here stupidly and let people play. It was he who was unkind first, so don't blame our Xiao family for being unrighteous. Xiang Zhu, go to the fourth young master's house for a while, let him go to the kidnapping alley for me if he is fine, I want to know what kind of person the person who died today is. ”

"Xiang Zhu understands." (To be continued.) )
