332 I Know What You've Lived (3) The Most Beautiful Is Poison
Before getting off work in the evening, he informed Liansheng that the red bean dim sum was really poisonous, and he tested the red bean paste and dim sum skin separately, and the dim sum skin was fine, and the poison was in the filling.
"A problem with red bean paste?"
In fact, Liansheng had already thought of it in the morning, the red beans were knocked over by the cat for no reason, and a lot of them were sprinkled, and in the end there was only a little left, and it was too late to soak again, so the kitchen used this red beans to make a dim sum filling.
"What kind of poison can you see?"
The man shook his head and said, "It's not a common poison, it's been tested, it's not arsenic." ”
The poison of this year, that is, arsenic poisoning, is easier to detect, arsenic is now called arsenic trioxide, is a white powder, ancient technology is limited to purification, not pure enough arsenic is red, also called alum, highly toxic, novels and TV series always say what crane top red, in fact, this is the thing, not the red substance of the head of the red-crowned crane. In ancient times, the purification technology was not in place, and the arsenic contained a lot of sulfur, so it would make the silver needle turn black and red, and if it was replaced with other poisons, the silver needle would not change color.
Why is it that the filling is poisonous, but the skin is not? After all, general poisoning can't be so accurate, and you always have to bring a little bit of dim sum on the skin.
"It's strange that the skin isn't poisonous at all."
Liansheng thought about the poison of the dim sum, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Do you know the poison of red beans?" ”
"Red beans, this red bean is still poisonous?" He is an authentic person from the capital, and he is a bit confused by the second monk.
"I'm referring to the southern red bean, the kind of red bean also known as Acacia."
"Acacia! I've heard in the past that this thing is highly poisonous. ”
"Not bad. Acacia beans, leaves, roots, and seeds are poisonous, with seeds being the most poisonous. If you mix acacia seeds in red beans and soak them together to make red bean paste, wouldn't it be harmful? ”
The reason why Liansheng remembers these is because before the previous life, there was a girl from Yunnan in her house who liked the jewelry of Acacia seeds, which were bright red in color, like a heart-shaped, and particularly bright, and she was very curious at that time. I also took one and crushed it, and found that it was really a bean.
The Yunnan classmate reminded at the time: "You must be careful. This thing is highly poisonous. ”
"Ah, it's poisonous, it's poisonous, you dare to play this?" Liansheng was taken aback at the time, looking at such a beautiful heart-shaped red bean. How is it poisonous?
"Because it's only poisonous if you crush it and eat it. As long as it doesn't break. It's no problem to swallow it whole. ”
The classmate showed off the red bean jewelry he was wearing, a small new type of bean, red in the sun. It's very beautiful.
"The most fragrant, the most beautiful, and the most dazzling in the world are all poisonous ......"
Thinking of these past events, the words of Ya Seng Yuanzhi suddenly came to mind, and these words were really right.
"It's just my lord, I've heard that this poisonous acacia grows up in the south. Li Shizhen once wrote that Acacia Zisheng Lingnan. The tree is tall and white. Its leaves resemble locust trees, its flowers resemble honey locusts, and its pods resemble lentils. His son was as big as a bean, half red, half black, and he was inlaid with jewelry. How can we have this thing in the capital? ”
"I remember that this thing is widely distributed in Taiwan, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan, and I think people from this place should be very familiar with the toxicity of acacia seeds."
"Yes, your Excellency is right, this is where you should start. The small ones went to find the Chinese medicine shop in the city to see if they could buy acacia seeds and make them into bean paste for comparison. ”
This guy is a doer.
"It's good that you can think like this, I'll leave the toxin extraction to you."
He was also extremely happy to get the trust of the sentence, and went out to find Acacia happily.
After a while, when it was time to get off work in Dali Temple, Liansheng packed up the file on the desk, put the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in place, and then walked out of the gate, turned into an alley, and walked slowly along the fence to his home.
It was getting late, and there were already few people in this alley, and at this moment, Lian Sheng looked at the lack of an entourage in front of him and behind him, and felt a little apprehensive, regretting that he should not have sent back all the brocade guards that Yu Shizhao gave him in the afternoon.
At this moment, there was the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and Liansheng leaned sideways, almost like a gecko, and stuck to the wall of the alley, which was so narrow that a horse had to avoid it if he wanted to pass it.
The sound of horses' hooves stopped beside him, Lian Sheng only felt that the hairs on his body exploded, he held his breath, and clenched his fists, but if he was really going to be attacked, how could he resist?
A cold thing pressed against her neck, Liansheng closed her eyes, is this life going to end like this again? I just hope that the death will not be too disgraceful, and when he thought that he might be sent to Dali Temple tomorrow, and be checked by today's man, Liansheng only felt a sore feeling in his chest, and retched.
"Ahaha, what's going on? It scares you. "The man on the horse has jumped down,
Lian Sheng snatched the thing in his hand and threw it to the ground: "Villain, you actually scared me with this thing!" ”
It turned out that what was pressed against her neck was a crystal clear fan made of jade pieces, no wonder it was cold.
"It's a pity, I only got it yesterday, and I'm about to show you off. Do you know how difficult it is to split jade into thin slices, and the warp and weft are generally woven into it. ”
"I hated it, I really thought it was a knife, it scared me to death." When Liansheng heard that the fan was very precious, he squatted down and picked it up again, and found that it was not broken, so he shook it and said, "Fortunately, it was not broken, I confiscated it." ”
"It's Baba's for you."
Yu Shizhao saw that she couldn't put it down with a fan, and for the time being, he didn't pursue the matter of scaring her, so he hurriedly said: "Quickly follow me into the palace, something happened in the palace." ”
"Oh my God, why do you have so many things every day, what's going on in the palace?"
"A small Hanlin in the Hanlin Academy, who was originally called to the military plane to transcribe the excerpts, suddenly somehow climbed upstairs, jumped down and fell to his death."
"That's suicide, what else do you want me to do?"
"This person is not very old, and being able to enter the Hanlin Academy shows that he has excellent knowledge and an innocent family background, so how could he suddenly run upstairs and commit suicide, it is really too strange. Although I have blocked the news, it is estimated that tomorrow the gossip will be flying all over the sky, and it will definitely be said that it is evil, so I can only find you to enter the palace and investigate it carefully. ”
Liansheng knew that the news of the emperor's poisoning had been tightly sealed, and since Yu Shizhao could replace the medicine of Rou Concubine with other poisons, he also had a way to consume the emperor but could not make his body completely healed, so the emperor can still cheer up and go to court every day. But there is no impermeable wall in this world, and there is always some wind and grass to spread outside after a long time, especially recently, the Empress Dowager Xu died of inexplicable illness in the cemetery, and the concubine was beaten into the cold palace again, and the crime of the father of the concubine was also announced.
Liansheng sighed: "You, you, always make trouble for me." ”
"Don't forget that you and I will always be allies. All in one. ”
Yu Shizhao smiled, and suddenly hugged Liansheng's slender waist with both hands, Liansheng screamed and was about to struggle, but he had been firmly placed on the horse, it turned out that he wanted to left, Liansheng lowered his head, and looked at the horse's hooves and his swaying legs embarrassedly.
Yu Shizhao was still surprised, this was another scare to her, why didn't she trouble herself. He also turned over and got on the horse, shouting to drive, the horse turned his head and walked back.
The beauty is in her arms, the moonlight is like water, and the horse's hooves gently knock on the bluestone slab, Yu Shizhao enjoys this comfortable feeling very much.
Suddenly, a coo, discordant sound sounded.
"What sound?" Yu Shizhao looked around in disbelief.
"Uh...... It's my stomach that screams again! Liansheng was shy at the beginning of his life, and suddenly raised his tone, showing a sense of righteousness: "Yu Shizhao, I'm hungry!" Only when you are full can I help you investigate the case! (To be continued......)
PS: Silver is very accurate in measuring sulfur. I have a pair of silver bracelets, or my grandmother's old things, my grandmother was born in the first year of Xuantong, is she has been wearing since she was a child for more than 100 years is also considered an old object, extremely pure snowflake silver, which is marked with the silver building. Later, when I returned to my ancestral hometown, I went to the silver building to see it, and remembered that my grandmother's family made jewelry for her here more than 100 years ago, and felt the passage of time. The silver is pure, and every time you go home from the hot springs, it is black and red. Later, I didn't know what substance reacted in the Chinese medicine I ate, and I woke up sweating profusely to find that the bracelet was completely black, which was very scary. My TCM buddy said that it was a process of detoxification in the body, and I don't know if it's true or not, so let's listen to it.
