For a winery, nothing is more important than quality and reputation. Jiang Xiaobai knew that this incident may be the biggest challenge faced by Jiang's Distillery since its opening, and there could be no carelessness in dealing with it, looking at the shopkeepers and the crowd of onlookers, he took a deep breath and said: "Everyone, Jiang's Distillery has been doing business with a conscience since its opening, and my father Jiang Xun has also been making wine with heart for ten years, so that Jiang's is what it is today." Over the years, Jiang's Distillery has operated in good faith, never deceived customers, and never fooled everyone with some inferior wine and fake wine! There is a problem with the new wine Wanli Xiang in this wine shop, we are also shocked, I have also tasted this wine, and there is nothing wrong with the body, I think that this time there is a problem with our wine, someone is doing something behind the back, wanting to harm our Jiang family! Merely... The incident happened suddenly, and we haven't investigated yet, so Jiang Xiaobai is here to implore everyone to believe in Jiang's Distillery once, and also give us some time to investigate the truth of this matter, in addition..."

Before Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, several restaurant shopkeepers quit and shouted: "Hey! Give you the Jiang family time, then what should we do! ”

"That's right! What about those of us who do restaurants, no one dares to come to drink now! ”

The originally quiet crowd suddenly quarreled again, each stating their own opinions and opinions.

Among them, there are also calm, the man waved his hand to stop the shopkeepers, and said: "All calm and calm, the Jiang family wine shop has opened, the reputation and quality are obvious to everyone, and the price is also very fair, never deceived us anything, you might as well listen to what Jiang Gongzi said first, I believe that the Jiang family will definitely give us an explanation." "It was the shopkeeper of the Yunxiang Inn who spoke.

Jiang Xiaobai glanced at the shopkeeper gratefully, and continued: "Don't worry, shopkeepers, the Jiang family said that they will give you an explanation, and they will definitely give it." He glanced at the seven or eight wagons placed on the side, and then said, "All these wines will be returned to the Jiang family, and the Jiang family will also compensate for the losses of your restaurant." Jiang Xiaobai said to the subordinates behind him: "Find Uncle Jiang to go to the treasury to compensate everyone" and then continued to everyone, "In addition, those who drank Wanli incense in your restaurant and are now lying in the hospital are also responsible for the Jiang family, and I will send someone to inform their families that this matter has nothing to do with your restaurant." ”

"I don't know if Xiaobai is still satisfied with this treatment?" Jiang Xiaobai smiled.

After saying this, the anger in the hearts of several shopkeepers has subsided, and they all nodded with satisfaction, Jiang Xiaobai's approach not only compensated for everyone's losses, but also took the responsibility on their bodies.

Seeing that all the shopkeepers were satisfied, Jiang Xiaobai said again: "Since they all agree with Xiaobai's approach, then please go back first, and I will let someone send the silver to you later." ”

The shopkeepers got the desired result, and naturally dispersed satisfied, and those onlookers saw that the parties were gone, of course, they would not stay here boringly, and the crowd gathered at the gate of Jiangfu quickly evacuated, after all, they were not idlers, and they had work to do.

"Alas, alas, why are you gone..."Qingximen couldn't believe it, Jiang Xiaobai sent away the shopkeeper who made trouble after a few words, but seeing that everyone was scattered, he didn't dare to stay longer, and hurriedly left with his family, although he didn't admit it, but after a encounter in Woyunlou, he was already a little afraid of Jiang Xiaobai in his heart.

Everyone dispersed, Jiang Xiaobai knew that this was only the first step, he called Ah Qi and said, "Xiao Qi, tell a few brothers to bring Wanli Xiang to the medical hall, first, to ask about the physical condition of those who fainted, whether they have been poisoned; The second is to ask the pharmacist to examine the condition in this wine. ”

"Okay!" Ah Qi was also a little panicked in his heart, but seeing Jiang Xiaobai's resolute and resolute handling methods, he also calmed down a lot in his heart, and asked, "Young master, what about me, what should I do?" ”

"You go get some silver needles and look for me in the workshop," Jiang Xiaobai said.

...

In the Jiang family's brewing workshop outside the city, Jiang Zheng paced back and forth to release the anxiety in his heart, and looked out of the door from time to time, waiting for Jiang Xiaobai's return. Although the guys did not pace back and forth like Jiang Zheng, their faces were also full of anxious words.

"Stepping and stepping" sounded with the sound of horses' hooves, and everyone ran out of the door together, and Jiang Xiaobai had already surrounded him before he got off the horse.

Jiang Zheng asked anxiously: "Young master, what is the situation in the city, is there really something wrong with Wanlixiang?" ”

"Hmm..."Jiang Xiaobai got off his horse and nodded.

At this point, the anxiety on everyone's face turned into frustration, and Jiang Zheng said to himself in disbelief: "This... This... We have all tasted the sample wine of Wanlixiang, and we didn't find any problems, how could it be... Could it be that someone secretly drugged the wine... That shouldn't be, after the wine enters the cellar, everyone guards it day and night, and there is no chance at all. ”

Jiang Zheng said this, Jiang Xiaobai also thought about it in his heart, he groaned slightly, and asked everyone: "Old brothers, did you encounter anything strange on the way to deliver the goods?" "There's no chance in the cellar, so you're on the way to make deliveries.

The delivery guys thought about it, and they all shook their heads, saying that they didn't encounter anything strange, and it went smoothly.

"Hey! This is strange, there are people guarding the cellar, and the delivery goes smoothly, so it is not a ghost who drugged the wine! "Jiang Zheng is incredibly authentic.

At this time, I heard the sound of a horse's hooves, and it was Ah Qi, and everyone saw that Ah Qi was holding a pinch of silver needles in his hand, and there were seventeen or eighteen of them, and they were very confused.

Ah Qi stopped his horse and said, "Young Master, I found the silver needle you wanted."

Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said to Jiang Zheng: "Uncle Zheng, I want to test the Wanli incense in the cellar room."

One sentence shocked everyone present, and Jiang Zheng asked in disbelief: "Now the Wanli incense in the cellar room has not yet come out of the cellar!" If you are less in charge, do you really want to test? ”

One of the processes involved in making sake is the cellaring time, and if the wine is unsealed before the cellaring time, the quality of the wine will be greatly compromised, or even lost. Jiang Xiaobai also knew that this batch of Wanli incense had cost the Jiang family a lot of material and financial resources, and if the previous efforts were wasted, they would suffer heavy losses. But if the rest of the wine is poisonous wine, then what is the use of it when it comes out of the cellar, he gritted his teeth and said resolutely: "Test! ”

Jiang Zheng saw that Jiang Xiaobai insisted on testing, so he no longer interfered. Ah Qi distributed the silver needle to everyone, and Jiang Xiaobai also took one. Everyone divided labor, and as the incense of a jar was opened, the small forest was filled with bursts of wine in the air.

After a while, some guys have already tested the results.

"Less in charge, I have no problem with these ten buckets" The guy was very happy.

"Don't be in charge, I don't have a problem with these ten buckets" The second guy's voice was also filled with joy.

"I don't have any ten buckets..."From the third guy, there was some confusion in everyone's voices.

...

...

Until the last guy reported, he was already crying: "Don't be in charge, I have no problem with this ten buckets!" ”

Wanli Xiang has been brewed for a long time, everyone is busy day and night, and they have invested a lot of feelings, just like a carver carving a work, and now he has opened the sealing mud early, and it is inevitable that he will die too young, Jiang Xiaobai can understand the mood of the guys at the moment. He also finished inspecting ten buckets of incense, and the silver needle on his hand did not show black, which made him feel very puzzled.

This is strange, there is no problem with Wanli Xiang who has not yet reached the cellar time, but it is the fifty buckets that were sold first out of the cellar that have an accident. Could it be that the person who poisoned the wine knew that the batch of wine that came out of the cellar was to be sold to the Zhang family, and his purpose was only to damage the Jiang family's wine shop, and he did not dare to offend the Zhang family? But if you think about it carefully, it's unlikely, reaching an agreement with Mu Xiaoshuang is a matter of the last few days, and almost no one knows about it except for a few people. Could it be!! Jiang Xiaobai was shocked in his heart, the person who did the tricks and feet in the wine knew very well the time when Wanli Xiang was out of the cellar, there was no chance when someone guarded the cellar, and there was no strange thing when the delivery was made, so there was only one possibility, this person had already put the poison into the wine when he was making wine! This is the only way to hide it from everyone's eyes. And there is only one kind of person who can do the above two things... At this moment, an unbelievable but very reasonable thought appeared in Jiang Xiaobai's mind - the Jiang family has an internal ghost!!

Jiang Xiaobai swept the people in the room, and suddenly remembered something, he hurriedly asked Jiang Zheng, "Uncle Zheng, what about the two brewing masters?!" ”

The guys in the brewing workshop are only responsible for koji-making, distillation and guarding, and the actual cooking of the liquor is done by the brewing master. There are two winemakers in Jiang's Distillery, both of whom are Jiang Xun's henchmen, and it is precisely the confidants that Jiang Xun dares to rest assured that he will hand over the secret recipe of Wanli Xiang brewing to them.

Jiang Zheng put down the silver needle in his hand and replied, "After He Feng and Da Xiang finished brewing Wanli Xiang, the master gave them a vacation and went home. Less in charge, looking for them? ”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded, and asked again, "Uncle Zheng, do you know where their family lives?"

"One is outside the west of the city, and the other is in the south of the city, not far away" Jiang Zhengdao.

After Jiang Xiaobai heard this, he immediately instructed Ah Qi: "Go and find them and bring them to Jiang Mansion to see me."

"Yes! Young Master: "Ah Qi left in response.

Jiang Zheng saw that Jiang Xiaobai's face was solemn, and he probably guessed a few points in his heart, he pulled Jiang Xiaobai aside, and whispered: "Young master, you suspect that it is the two of them..."

Jiang Xiaobai didn't hide what he was thinking, and nodded heavily.

There is another shift in the evening, around 22:00
