But...... Du Xiaotian quickly shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to be nervous, there is indeed a problem with this bun, but it has nothing to do with you." And...... If my guess is correct, except for me and Xiaojie, the buns in other people's bowls are fine. ”

When the kitchen sister-in-law heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest with palpitations.

When the others heard this, although they were very puzzled, they were also slightly relieved.

As for Liang Lao, he frowned, looked at Du Xiaotian, and said, "What do you mean...... Someone poisoned? ”

Du Xiaotian shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not poison." It should be said...... It's a laxative! ”

As soon as these words came out...... Everyone was a little surprised.

Someone put laxatives in buns?

This...... What is the purpose?

Practical joke?

At this time......

Everyone didn't notice that Zhao Xu, who had been keeping his head down, was already full of panic and incomprehension in his eyes.

He couldn't understand at all, how did Du Xiaotian know that Xiaojie was not sick, but was given laxatives?

Why! How did he guess?

Even if Xiaojie's previous performance was exaggerated, it was impossible for Du Xiaotian to analyze so many things, right? That's too fake, right?

"Laxatives? Who did this to you? A trace of anger appeared on Liang Lao's face, and he said.

If it's something else, maybe it's a coincidence.

But laxatives don't come out of nowhere, do they?

Since it has appeared, it means that someone must have done it deliberately. And...... Only the people in the elixir shop can do it!

Liang Lao glanced at everyone present and said, "Who did it, stand up!" ”

Everyone looked confused and shook their heads, indicating that they didn't do it themselves.

Zhao Xu panicked to the extreme, but of course he wouldn't admit it stupidly. He shook his head and pretended to be innocent.

Liang Lao suddenly became even more angry, and said, "No one admits it? Can this laxative grow on its own? ”

The atmosphere in the entire dining hall suddenly became a little tense and heavy.

Everyone was a little silent.

"Elder Liang is angry, don't worry, it's very simple to find this person," Du Xiaotian smiled slightly playfully, and said, "I just tasted the buns in my bowl, and I can roughly taste the taste of medicinal juice." Ingredients...... Presumably...... Rhubarb, croton, aloe vera, trade road, gansui, plus a little senna, hemp seeds...... That's probably it. ”

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned and their eyes widened.

As for Zhao Xu, his face changed even more, and his eyes seemed to be about to pop out of his sockets.

"You...... You mean, you just rely on the taste...... Can you tell the ingredients of the Chinese herbs hidden in the buns? An apprentice couldn't help but ask.

Du Xiaotian nodded calmly and said, "Yes." But...... This medicinal juice should have only been boiled for a long time, and the medicinal taste is relatively pure, so it is easier to distinguish. Otherwise, it's not so easy to tell. ”

When they heard this, they were speechless.

What Du Xiaotian said seemed to be very simple.

But most of you here are people who know Chinese medicine, and they know very well how difficult it really is.

Identifying the types of medicinal materials in the decoction is a practical course in Chinese medicine. These Liang Lao's apprentices have also tried it, and they can also distinguish some of them.

But...... Don't forget, this medicinal soup is mixed in the bun right now! It is mixed with the rich flavor of the bun filling and fat inside!

It's like a red drop of water dripping into a bottle of black ink. After dripping, who can tell the red color from it?

Under such circumstances, Du Xiaotian still distinguishes the medicinal materials so clearly, which is very terrifying!

This requires not only an intimidatingly accurate sense of taste, but also an extremely in-depth understanding of the taste of the herb itself. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to do it!

Liang Lao has been immersed in medicine all his life, especially the latest medicine. The understanding of Chinese herbal medicines is naturally extremely profound.

However...... Even if it was him, he would never be able to do Du Xiaotian like this.

First, he is already old, and although the decline in taste is not too serious, it is not as good as that of a young man.

Second...... Even if he had the same taste sensitivity as Du Xiaotian, he didn't think he could do it like Du Xiaotian...... At least I can't distinguish so many herbs.

So he couldn't help but sigh a little, Du Xiaotian, a young man's understanding of Chinese medicine, can only be described as breathtaking.

But...... After sighing, he quickly understood something.

Since Du Xiaotian said the names of these medicinal materials, it was naturally not just to let everyone know how powerful he was.

And what he wanted to express, Liang Lao quickly realized.

He turned his head and said to the apprentice who had been in charge of the medicine cabinet for the past few days, "In recent days, who has opened these medicinal materials?" ”

Rhubarb, croton, aloe vera, shanglu, gansui, senna, hemp seeds...... These herbs are all very powerful laxatives, and most of them have more obvious side effects.

Even if someone has gastrointestinal congestion and poor excretion, and wants to prescribe some laxatives, they will definitely not use so many similar medicinal materials at the same time.

And...... In this Liu County, there are not many Chinese medicine shops. Therefore, most of the people who drugged it were medicinal herbs in the elixir workshop!

In this way, it is natural to find the mastermind behind it.

When the disciple heard this, he was slightly stunned, thought about it for a while, but shook his head and said, "The person who prescribes these medicinal herbs ...... No, I don't. In the past few days that I've been in charge of the medicine cabinet, no one has prescribed laxatives, let alone so many at the same time. ”

Liang Lao was slightly stunned and said, "How could it be...... Don't...... Not opened with us? ”

The apprentice scratched his head and thought about it carefully......

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and said, "By the way, before I came over for dinner, when I checked the medicine cabinet, I happened to check the smell of senna in these medicinal herbs just now." It turned out that there were obviously fewer medicinal herbs than when I last checked, but I checked the records of prescribing medicines, and no one prescribed this medicine during this time......

Everyone was immediately refreshed.

Liang Lao hurriedly said: "Then think about it carefully, in recent days, especially today, who has touched the medicine cabinet when you are not paying attention?" ”

The apprentice scratched his head again, thought for a while, and said, "Move when you don't pay attention...... Hiss...... No, I lock the door to the counter every time I go to the bathroom. It's unlikely that a patient will be able to flip into it in public......"

At this time, Du Xiaotian spoke: "If it is impossible for the patient...... Then you might as well think about it, are there any people in the elixir shop who have similar behaviors? ”

Things have developed to this point, and Zhao Xu, who has his head down, is already in a cold sweat.

He couldn't do it in the first place.

Now watching everyone get closer to the truth step by step under Du Xiaotian's guidance, I am naturally panicked to the extreme!

So...... Hearing that Du Xiaotian once again pointed in the right direction of the investigation, his heart tightened, and he couldn't help but speak, and retorted: "Are you suspicious of our senior brothers in the Elixir Workshop?" How could we possibly do such a thing? Besides, Senior Brother Xiaojie is our brother and brother, how could we hurt him so much? You're completely sowing discord! ”

When everyone heard this, they thought it made sense.

"That's right...... How could we, the brothers and sisters, do such a thing? ”

"That's right, and how can we harm our junior brother. We usually love him so much. ”

"Senior brother has always been very good to us senior brothers, and we have no contradiction with him, how can we poison him so much?"

"It doesn't make sense. I will never hurt Xiaojie anyway. ”

…… Everyone agreed with Zhao Xu's point of view.

However, Du Xiaotian just smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "It is indeed unlikely that you will drug Xiaojie. But...... One thing I would like to note for you. Xiaojie didn't get poisoned by eating the buns in his bowl. He ate the buns that had been removed from my bowl before he was poisoned. ”

When everyone heard this, they were slightly stunned, and they all suddenly realized.

"You mean ......," Liang said with wide eyes.

"That's right, this laxative itself is aimed at me alone," Du Xiaotian said with a little jokingness.

The brothers and sisters have nothing to say now.

After all, if the target of the drug was Du Xiaotian, then the previous rebuttal rooted in brotherhood would not be tenable.

Zhao Xu was also speechless for a moment, and he didn't know how to refute it at all.

The worst thing is ......

At this time, the apprentice suddenly remembered something and said, "That's right! Today, Senior Brother ...... It seems to have taken over from me for a while. When you come back...... It seems that the medicine cabinet has been passed. I was still a little strange at the time, thinking that my brother had a cold and took some medicinal herbs to chew? But I didn't pay attention to what herbs he was holding. ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

Liang Lao's face changed slightly, looked at his apprentice, and said, "Which senior brother is yours?" ”

The apprentice turned his head and glanced at Zhao Xu not far away.

Zhao Xu was already sweating profusely, covered with cold sweat. He hurriedly gave the apprentice a fierce look.

But the apprentice hesitated in the face of the master's questioning, but still spoke, "Yes...... It's Senior Brother Zhao......"
