Chapter 363: Silver Needle Tests Poison

At the same time, in the mansion of Li Huangguo in Chang'an City, an old man wearing a brocade robe was sitting in the middle of the flower hall, and the middle-aged man sitting on the side was smiling for the most noble man in the world in front of him...... The old man in brocade is Li Longji, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the middle-aged man who is carefully serving is Li Huang, who has just stepped down from the position of Hengzhou Thorn History, and the two women are Yang Yuhuan, the concubine Niangniang, and the county lord of Jinyuan.

A few days ago, Li Longji summoned Li Huang, and at the same time asked Li Huang's daughter Jinyuan County Lord to enter the palace to meet the concubine Niangniang, in the words, the two women talked about the customs and customs in Hengzhou, talked about what they saw along the way, and more about the makeup, clothes, and ...... they were interested in between women, and when talking about the condition of the Jinyuan County Lord, Zhen Qian was occasionally mentioned.

Yang Guifei naturally remembered Zhen Qian, and asked the county lord of Jinyuan, what kind of person Zhen Qian is, but unfortunately the county lord of Jinyuan only has a relationship with Zhen Qian, and he really doesn't know much, but the county lord of Jinyuan is not easy to praise the food in Zhen Qian's house, and compared it with the imperial chef in the palace, and finally said a few polite words, and invited the concubine to sit in the house when she was free, there are chefs from the Zhen family in the house, but I didn't expect Yang Yuhuan and Li Longji to say, Li Longji came to the house with Yang Yuhuan and quietly took Yang Yuhuan to Li Huang's mansion.

Today is a family banquet, so Li Longji didn't alarm anyone, only took Yang Yuhuan and Gao Lishi, and the white dragon fish suit suddenly appeared in Li Huang's mansion, which scared Li Huang so much that he almost went to see his father to make the emperor.

Li Longji saw that Li Huang had tasted a bite of each plate first, and seeing that Gao Lishi was still not at ease holding the silver needle and preparing to test the poison, he waved his hand generously and said, "Could it be that I am still worried about poisoning in my nephew's mansion!" ”

Li Huang carefully poured Li Longji a full glass of wine and said: "Your Majesty, when it comes to poisoning, when the minister was in the house of Director Zhen, he also encountered the same thing, Director Zhen laughed at the minister, there are more than 10 million poisons in the world, and the silver needle test is a big joke, and the minister is advised not to use the silver needle to test the poison ...... in the future."

The person who is most afraid of death in the world is the emperor himself, and when he heard Li Huang say that the silver needle test was a joke, he became interested and said: "The silver needle test has been passed down for thousands of years, is there anything wrong with this?" ”

Li Huang didn't explain much, and immediately ordered someone to take a hard-boiled egg and said: "This thing is the most ordinary, usually when Your Majesty eats it, I'm afraid it hasn't been tested, but I don't know if anyone has tried it with a silver needle", he peeled off the egg shell and inserted the silver needle into it, and when he took it out again, the silver needle had turned black, just when Li Longji's face was cloudy, Li Huang swallowed the egg into his mouth, smiled and took a raw egg, and inserted another silver needle into it, this time the silver needle did not turn black, Put down the silver needle in his hand and handed it to Gao Lishi on the side, let Gao Lishi also experiment, and then continued after seeing the same result: "The general doesn't believe that he can let people take a stove to verify in person, as long as it is an egg, after cooking, the silver needle test poison is black, listen to Zhen Principal said, this is a phenomenon called chemistry, and it has nothing to do with whether there is poison or not, these are just the predecessors to spread falsehoods, although the silver needle test poison can not be said to be completely wrong, but at least it cannot be concluded that the silver needle turns black to determine the poisonous ......."

Li Longji's face darkened, still a little unconvinced, Gao Lishi on the side understood, Gao Lishi immediately tested the raw eggs and cooked them on the stove, and then experimented with silver needles, and waved his hand irritably: "No need to try, don't I still believe my nephew's words?" Why, tell me what is the reason for this? What else did that Zhen Qian say? ”

At this time, Li Longji was very angry, feeling that he had been played as a monkey before, but there was no place to vent this fire, because this matter did not start with himself......

Li Huang wanted to laugh very much at this time, just like Zhen Qian laughed at himself at the beginning, he cleared his throat and said: "This is a misjudgment, fortunately, the shell of the egg is not in the recipe of His Majesty's usual drug test, otherwise, even if the imperial chef has eighty heads, he will be cut off, and the death will be too unjust."

"You continue to say that if the silver needle test is really useless, it should not be spread for thousands of years", Li Longji is not a fool, he knows very well in his heart, but he doesn't know what the problem is.

"Director Zhen told the minister, this is because the silver needle test is based on the principle of the five elements of mutual restraint, but this kind of thing can only be manifested in a small range, but these ministers do not understand very well, just heard Zhen said that there is sulfide in the egg, as long as the silver needle and sulfide together, the silver needle can be blackened to produce a kind of silver sulfide, because silver sulfide is black, so it is considered toxic, and there are many kinds of sulfide, some are indeed poisonous, but some are not poisonous, so the method of silver needle inspection is not a complete strategy, As a test for toxicity, it is barely ....... ”

Li Longji was confused when he heard this, looked at Gao Lishi on the side, and saw that he was also confused, knowing that it was meaningless to continue. I was just about to bring up the wine in front of me, but now I don't even have the heart to test the wine, but I saw Li Huang blocking and said: "Your Majesty drink it slowly, this wine is also made by Master Zhen, the entrance is extremely spicy, the first time you drink it will be a little unaccustomed, the minister has to remind Your Majesty?" ”

Li Longji came today to prepare to taste the Zhen family's food in the mouth of the county lord of Jinyuan, of course, including the legendary wine as spicy as coals, I really can't imagine that there is such a strong wine in the world as Sanle pulp, and when you drink it in your mouth, it is like a charcoal in your throat.

Li Longji, who was curious, put the wine glass under his nose and smelled it, a clear aroma of wine was in his nose, and the wine was extremely pure, so he tilted his neck and poured a small glass of wine into his mouth, his face immediately flushed, but his eyes were bright and scary, he opened his mouth and took a sip of wine, feeling hot from his mouth to his lower abdomen.

"What a strong wine! There is still such a wine in the world, another glass? ”

Gao Lishi wanted to say something to stop it, but seeing that Li Longji was full of interest, he poured himself a glass, although Gao Lishi had already prepared, a glass of wine still felt a little unbearable, and quickly stuffed a few mouthfuls of food into his mouth, which suppressed the wine.

"Your Majesty, this wine is called Drunken Immortal Brew, and it is not the strongest one, I heard that Director Zhen also has a kind of liquor called stuffy to the donkey, it is said that drinking a sip can get drunk for a day, so this wine must be cellared for a period of time to remove the hot and dry air, the longer the time, the more mellow the wine is ......."

Seeing Li Longji looking at him, Li Huang immediately asked the maid to bring a wooden box, which was neatly stacked with many ceramic bottles, opened one of the bottles and said: "These are drunken immortal brews that have been stored for a year, which are more soft than the drunken immortal brews that have just been brewed, and they can be called the best in the wine, please taste them!" ”
