Childe Qingqian and his entourage came to Linhai County. They stayed in the inn.

Gongzi Qingqian had already taken a rough look at the case of the salt transport envoy in the carriage.

It stands to reason that Zhang Chengcheng, the salt transport envoy of Linhai County, has been an official for many years and should be able to handle all aspects of the relationship. How could he be wiped out overnight, and none of his guards survived?

Within three days, Gongzi Qingqian did not leave the museum for a single step. He's looking at Zhang's journal.

Since Zhang Chengcheng served as a salt transportation envoy, the salt transportation industry here has been very prosperous. Childe Qingqian really couldn't find a reason for him to be destroyed.

Next, Gongzi Qingqian took everyone to the mansion of the salt transport envoy Zhang Chengcheng.

"This rich man is just different!" Xuanfei looked at the architectural pattern and luxury of Zhang Chengcheng's mansion and sighed.

"Although the salt transport envoy is not big, he is a fat poor!" Childe looked at the people going to the carved railing of the empty building and sighed.

Everything has been cleaned up here. No trace was left.

Childe Qingqian went to Zhang Chengcheng's study. It still retains the appearance of his life.

On several of Zhang's cases was an ordinary copy of the account book. The ink in the inkstone has dried. The brush he usually used was very clean. It's right on top of the Pen Mountain.

The county magistrate of Linhai County got the news and came to see Gongzi Qingqian. Childe Qingqian asked about Zhang Chengcheng's condition before his death. The county magistrate said that he sat with a pen in his hand. There was not a single scar on his body.

Rouxin listened and looked at the cases and took two steps back. Childe Qingqian picked up Zhang's brush, looked at it and asked, "Can the things here be moved?" ”

"No! It doesn't matter anything! The county magistrate watched Gongzi Qingqian put down the pen.

"Are you sure he's holding the pen?" Childe asked shallowly.

"Yes! That's what the officials say! ”

"You weren't there?" Childe Qingqian pursed his mouth and looked directly at the county master.

"I'll tell you the truth, I had a stomach problem for the past two days!" The county lord's face was as red as a persimmon.

"What about the other people's deaths?" When the prince saw the county master's face, he knew that he had not lied.

"They all go where they do their own things, as if they are dying at the same time without knowing it!" After the county magistrate finished speaking, he was smart.

A gentle hand grabbed Childe's shallow arm. Childe Qingqian could feel her hands very cold through the sleeves.

"Could it be poisoning at the same time?" Xuanfei said thoughtfully.

"It's not! It has been tested, and no one has been poisoned. They are standing or lying down...... The posture is extremely natural. Cold sweat appeared on the county master's forehead.

"Liu Tao! Fetch some well water and bring it back! Childe Qingqian commanded.

Liu Tao emptied his water bag, filled it with well water and hung it around his waist.

"Fly! Look at the flowers and plants in his yard, are they strange? Childe glanced at Xuanfei, who was leaning on the pillar and contemplative.

"Fly! Childe asked you to inspect the flowers and plants in the yard! Rouxin saw that Xuanfei didn't move, so she stepped forward and patted him.

"Good!" Xuanfei walked towards the flowers and plants in the yard that had withered due to lack of water as if he had suddenly come back to his senses.

"Let's go to the yamen to talk!" The county magistrate wiped his forehead with a silk handkerchief and said.

"Let's go to the kitchen!" The son is shallow and ignores the county master. He led the people to the stove.

The county magistrate and Xuanfei stayed in the front yard. He was filled with fear of the courtyard.

Everyone inspected the kitchen stove and found nothing unusual.

Just as everyone was leaving, Childe Qingqian noticed that there seemed to be silver water droplets on the side of a bowl. He squeezed it in his hand with his handkerchief.

"It looks like silver powder!" Liu Taodao, who was standing behind Gongzi Qingqian.

"Let's go!" Childe Qingqian folded the handkerchief and put it in his arms.

The county magistrate saw that Gongzi Qingqian and others were back. He blushed and said, "Please come to my house to eat!" ”

Childe saw that it was already noon, and then he came down. On the way, he asked the county magistrate: "Is the cook of this family also dead?" ”

"The cook doesn't seem to be dead! After he finished making lunch, he went out of the house to wait for his wife! But his cooking skills are really extraordinary. Zhixian recalled.

"Where is he now?" A glimmer of light crossed Childe's shallow eyes.

"Isn't it delicious for me! So what about him in my house? The county master's face turned red again.

"Oh! That's it! Childe thought about it all the way, and said nothing.

Although the county lord's mansion is not luxurious, it is also magnificent.

Everyone followed him to the pavilion in his back garden and sat down. The food and drinks in the pavilion are ready.

"The chef made this table?" Childe asked lightly.

"It's not! He usually cooks dinner. His wife has been sick in bed for many years, and she still needs him to wait! The county magistrate raised his glass.

Halfway through the meal, a fat white cook came

A dish of cold powder was put on.

"This is the chef Ah San!" The county magistrate smiled and picked up the spoon, scooped a mouthful of powder, and was about to put it in his mouth.

"Slow!" Gongzi Qingqian, who was sitting next to the county master, held his hand.

The county magistrate put down the spoon for some reason, and looked at Gongzi Qingqian.

"Could you please tell me how this powder is made?" Childe looked at Ah Sandao with a shallow smile.

"Back to Childe's words! This powder is ......," Ah San gushed about the production process. At the end, he said, "Please taste it, and you will know that my powder is really different!" ”

Xuanfei took the spoon and went to scoop it, but was knocked off by Gongzi Qingqian's hand.

"How about you take a few bites first?" Childe Qingqian put away his smile.

"How can I ...... this," the smile on Ah San's face became unnatural. He kept rubbing his hands together.

All the time the curly dog ran over. The county magistrate picked it up.

"Come on! You taste the powder! The county magistrate fed the powder in his spoon to his dog.

After the dog finished eating, he stuck out his little tongue and licked his mouth. Then he sat quietly on the lap of the county lord and stared at everyone.

"It's so cute!" Rouxin couldn't help but boast.

Childe looked at the cook Ah San. Ah San's forehead began to sweat.

The county magistrate suddenly shouted angrily: "It's not really coming!" ”

"Sir! I don't know what you say? Ah San knelt in front of everyone. His face had turned grayish-white.

"Here's the proof! How can you quibble! The county magistrate raised his dog and said sadly.

His dog's body was starting to stiffen. Its big eyes were still round, but they wouldn't turn again.

"What's in this powder?" Xuanfei scooped up a spoonful and sniffed it and asked.

"Say! Otherwise, your mother will end up with you! The county lord said with trembling lips.

"I say! Please raise your noble hand and let my mother go! Ah San burst into tears.

"There's a powder in it! When a person uses it, he dies like this dog. Ah San said in a trembling voice.

"Who instructed you?" Childe Qingqian suppressed his anger and asked.

"It's the Taoist priest Gao Bian in the Shangyun Temple. My wife and children are in his hands! Ah San touched his head to the ground and cried incessantly.

"Liu Tao! Walk! Childe got up and left. Everyone quickly followed.
