Chapter 37: Bloody Gossip Ten Years Ago

"Auntie, but you remembered something sad?"

"Have you ever seen a big oven in the kitchen compound?"

"I've seen it, I cleaned it today, and I saw it, it's a mess, it's full of cobwebs."

"Before Wen Gushan, he was a general manager Mao, and he was the best at using this oven to bake a variety of dim sum dishes, especially small dim sum, which children did not like. At that time, my children were small, and the family encountered things that were difficult to eat for a while, and the children were often hungry and cried. ”

"The old man is a kind and good man."

"A kind and good person can't stand an ambitious subordinate stabbing him in secret."

"How did Mr. Wen get people away?"

"Some of the accessories used by Mr. Mao to make snacks are to be bought in Yirenfang, and they are purchased in the warehouse, and some are put in the kitchen in quantities, and then given when they are used up."

"And then?" Bai Ko had a bad premonition.

Then one day, Mr. Mao roasted the third young master's favorite dessert, and it didn't take long for the third young master to vomit blood and fall to the ground. Ouch, it's a mess in the house, and I invited a few imperial doctors one after another, saving the small ones over there, and the big ones here, which alarmed the saints in the palace, and the queen mother, the emperor, and the queen all sent their attendants to ask. ”

Bai Ko was completely able to imagine the scene of the mess up and down into a pot of porridge, and couldn't help but cramp his facial muscles, "Who is that who does not hesitate to use his grandson as a stepping stone in order to get to the top?" ”

"At that time, the third young master was only a four or five-year-old child, not yet the age of the grandson, but the eldest master was the son, and the eldest son of the prince was a golden body, and the palace attendants brought a lot of good things, but the big ones and the small ones couldn't get into anything, and they almost held two funerals in the house."

"Mr. Mao poured blood mold for this, right?"

"Anyway, I haven't seen him since that day, and I don't know if he's dead or alive. Moreover, it was not only Mr. Mao who was implicated, because this was not just poisoning, but the whole bag of dried fruits was mixed with dried fruits concocted by poison, so the warehouse was the second to suffer, and then there was the shop that sold this ingredient in Yirenfang, the merchant went bankrupt and closed down, and the family did not know where to go. ”

"Even the businessmen have been implicated?"

"Because there is a bag of poison in the storehouse in addition to the leftovers in the kitchen, don't you find the merchant?"

"How could my aunt know that this had something to do with that person?"

"I didn't know at first, but when the guards inspected the kitchen, I once saw it, and I felt that there was a bag of dried fruits with a strange aroma and an indescribable sweet and greasy taste, and it didn't take long to hear that it was the poison detected in the bag of dried fruits, and the sweet and greasy taste was the poison instead of ****."

"Well, it was a normal process to use **** to concoct dried fruits, who would have thought that **** was poison. The use is generally wrapped in a snack and baked in the oven to stimulate a pleasant sweet aroma. Hey, the third young master used to eat sweets? ”

"He hasn't eaten since then, and no one uses the oven."

"Uh, auntie, we digressed, let's not talk about the third young master, how did you find out later that you had something to do with that person?"

"It's the aroma of dried fruits. A few months after the poisoning had passed, someone found traces of rats in the kitchen, so naturally they hurriedly ordered rat medicine everywhere. Then I smelled it again and saw the man pouring dried fruit in front of the rat trap. I also went up to him and asked him why he used such a good dried fruit, and he said that rats are picky eaters, so they don't need to order good things to be fooled at all, and the dried fruits are mixed before and not used up, so they are wasted. ”

"Same scent, same dried fruit?"

Aunt Nie nodded and drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp, "It's exactly the same." ”

Bai Ko took the cup and refilled the cup and put it in Aunt Nie's hand, "Auntie has never mentioned this to anyone?" ”

"How can you mention it? How dare you mention it? Things have passed, the lady and the young master are safe and sound, and the sixth young master was also born healthy and healthy, what else to mention about this unfortunate thing? ”

"That's right. And there is no evidence to prove that the dried fruits that the aunt saw twice before and after were mixed with the same batch of potion. ”

"That's right, I regret it when I think about it, why didn't I get a few of those poisonous dried fruits in my hands when they searched the kitchen, so it's a good comparison."

"Auntie, don't think about this stubble, it has nothing to do with you, and you can't think of it on anyone. Looking back now, the smell of dried fruits is particularly suspicious, but there are more tasteless and colorless poisons in this world, and who can still deal with things calmly in that chaotic scene at that time, just thinking that if something happens to the masters, they will have to be buried with a few people. ”

"yes." Aunt Nie sighed again and again, but after being relieved by Bai Ko, her heart finally let go a little.

"Thank you aunt for reminding me of this, I'll be careful."

"Since that guy sat in the position of the chief manager, he took away all the things that were at odds with him, and now his subordinates have more or less a few legs to do with him, you newcomers have long been eyeing him, and he looks at those good looks every day, and after this competition, he sent away a few of his fancies, and I also heard him sigh while smoking. Listen to the advice of your aunt, seize this opportunity, don't come back, the personnel in this kitchen have long been rotten, maybe one day the master will start to clean up, why do you want to damage your reputation by mixing in it. ”

Bai Ko didn't say anything, just nodded silently, and didn't tell Aunt Nie, the third young master knew a thing or two about this bad thing in the kitchen, and if the third young master knew it, the eldest lady must have known it, just waiting for an opportunity to clean up.

Unexpectedly, Wen Gushan was connected to the third master, and now he has regarded the kitchen as a harem, this reputation is not good after all, and it will damage the face of the Guogong Mansion, especially the face of Yunying's unmarried ladies in the mansion, that is a big deal!

It's just that now the third old man Ding is worried at home, and in front of him, the eldest lady is not good to take the initiative to find trouble in the kitchen, not to mention that he doesn't look at his face, but also gives the eldest lord face, and wants to wash the filth of the kitchen well, and needs another more upright reason.

And it has to be justified.

Lu Doudou is still in the East Kitchen, the eldest lady has to take care of the face of the house, she has to at least take care of Doudou's face, but she can't let her reputation as an innocent little girl be derogated here in vain.

Bai Ko thanked Aunt Nie again, said good night to each other, and went back to the courtyard along the road to rest.
