Chapter 497: Suspicion
"Wipe the table with a drugged rag, wipe the door, touch it with the person at the table, touch it with clothes, books, and eat cups......
The water used to water the flowers is sprayed on the leaves, and when they are dry, they are blown by the wind, or the people who enjoy the flowers come over to smell them......
Sprinkled in the dust, swept the floor while the man came, accidentally kicked up a cloud of dust, and was sucked in......"
These are all methods of poisoning, concealed and careful, making people unable to prevent it, just like when they were poisoned in the first place......
Zhong Weiwei looked at Zhao Hongtu's mouth and felt that he had grasped a line.
This line connects many things that were previously unthinkable, and there is a faint outline.
She was suspicious, why is there no one in the world who can solve the poison, Pharmacist Li will know how to solve it, why is Pharmacist Li's method of poisoning so similar to the situation when she was poisoned?
Zhao Hongtu saw that she was distracted, stopped talking and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong? ”
Zhong Weiwei shook his head: "It's nothing, I just think Pharmacist Li is really capable." ”
Zhao Hongtu reminded her very seriously: "It's capable, but you have to be careful." It's never our own people, and the poisoning methods are so clever that people can't guard against it, you have to stay away from him, and it won't hurt to be cautious. ”
Zhong Weiwei nodded in response, got up to change clothes and freshen up.
Zhao Hongtu saw the robe she took off, smiled slightly, took it and folded it carefully, and carefully received it in the cabinet for treasure.
I have to tell Your Majesty about this, Your Majesty will be very happy to know that Zhong Weiwei misses him so much.
The weather is perfect, the sky is blue like glass, there is no wind, and the sun is shining.
The tea table in the Fang Tea House was full of people, even the sick Chen Junqing came, and everyone surrounded the tea table, but it was quiet.
Zhong Weiwei and Mei Xun sat quietly guessing tea, twenty different tea leaves were sealed in a cup with gauze, and the person who guessed the tea could only smell the taste through the gauze, but could not look at the color and shape of the tea leaves.
The test is the sensitivity of the sense of smell and the familiarity with the type of tea, which requires complete identification within a stick of incense.
At this moment, more than half of the incense has been burned, and there are still ten kinds of tea leaves left in front of Zhong Weiwei, and at the same time, her speed is gradually slowing down.
There were only eight left in front of Mei Xun, and his speed did not slow down at all, and he always maintained the same rhythm.
If it goes on like this, Zhong Weiwei will definitely lose.
Chen Shaoming, Nan Xiaoqiao and the others were full of urgency, eager to step forward to help Zhong Weiwei, while the tea master in Dongling had a look on his face, smiling and passing glances to each other.
One child couldn't hold his breath and whispered, "There are only three." ”
There were only three kinds of tea leaves left in front of Mei Xun that had not been distinguished, and it was only something that could be completed in a moment.
And Zhong Weiwei still had ten kinds in front of her, she still held a tea leaf and sniffed it repeatedly, her brows were slightly furrowed, and she looked very hesitant.
Chen Junqing was anxious and angry, and said coldly: "Looking at her, she is negligent in practicing, as a tea master, she doesn't specialize in tea ceremony, what kind of house to build!" ”
Chen Shaoming was irritable, glared at his father for the first time, and said in a low voice: "There are many words!" ”
Chen Junqing was furious, and just wanted to teach this unfilial son a lesson, but he heard Xu Han on the side say calmly: "Who dares to lose Liguo's face, the old man cut his head with a knife." ”
Chen Junqing always felt a cold neck, and said indignantly: "The bandit family." ”
Xu Han glanced at him with a smile: "I'm a bandit, what do you want?" ”
Shaoqing of Honglu Temple secretly felt relieved, but he inevitably had to solve the siege: "Don't talk!" The May inquiry is coming to an end soon! ”
Everyone held their breath and looked over to the tea table.
I saw Mei Xun take the last tea away and said loudly: "I'm fine, Zhong Pavilion Master, what about you?" ”
Zhong Weiwei still had the eight kinds of tea in front of her, she raised her head and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry......"
Before the sentence was finished, the audience burst into boos.
The tea masters in Dongling patted the table, stomped their feet, and booed: "I thought it was so great, the owner of the Fang Tea Restaurant personally appointed by the emperor must be a person of the same status to fight tea with her, it turns out that this virtue is ......"
The tea master who had been humiliated by Zhong Weiwei said loudly: "That's right, if you fight with someone with the same status, the owner of the Zhong Pavilion will definitely win!" After all, among the concubines of the two countries, there must be no one who can defeat the Zhong Pavilion Master! ”
Because Dongling does not have institutions similar to Fang Ming Pavilion and Fang Tu Pavilion, Zhong Weiwei wants to find someone with similar status to fight tea, which means that no one can fight with her at all, so she can only compare the identity of the concubine.
This is definitely humiliating for Zhong Weiwei.
The tea masters of Liguo were angry and disappointed, the young Qing of Honglu Temple was so angry that he pouted his beard, and Chen Junqing just sneered.
Xu Han silently took off the long knife on his waist, pulled out the scabbard with a "choking" sound, pulled out a piece of brocade, and wiped the knife very seriously.
The sword is bright, and General Xu has a murderous aura.
Dongling's tea master dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and muttered in a low voice: "My skills are not as good as others, and you still want to threaten people?" ”
But no one dared to insult Zhong Weiwei openly and loudly anymore.
Mei Xun said regretfully: "Pavilion Master Zhong, before I came, His Majesty of my family instructed me to remember the friendship between the two countries and leave a little affection in everything...... I really want to make everyone happy, but this ......"
Mei Xun really didn't expect Zhong Weiwei to be so weak, even if she wanted to deliberately let Zhong Weiwei win according to Li Shang's arrangement, then she had to give him a chance to release water.
Like this, it's really, ridiculous and very contemptible.
Zhong Weiwei sighed and said: "Mei Dasicha is really a considerate and good person!" I have received your wishes, and I also want to make friendship between the two countries, and I also want to show a little more affection in everything. ”
She pretended to wipe away her non-existent tears and showed a playful smile: "But wait until I finish what I just said, and then let's talk about the friendship between our two countries in detail." Where did I just go? ”
"You're sorry."
Chen Shaoming and Jian Wu opened their mouths at the same time, and at the same time looked at each other with disgust, saying, "I want you to learn from me to speak!" They looked away from each other in disgust.
Zhong Weiwei smiled and continued: "Yes, I'm really sorry, out of the twenty kinds of tea, I can only identify nineteen, this one ......"
She showed everyone the cup she had been holding in her hand: "I'm not sure if this is a golden piece or Lanxi Maofeng." ”
Dongling refused to believe Zhong Weiwei's words, she stopped after smelling this kind of tea just now, and did not take the remaining nine kinds of tea to the pile of tea leaves that had been identified.
So, she is making a quibble to save face!
Dongling Tea Master was even more disdainful, and someone said coldly: "Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, it's not a shameful thing, I don't know how to pretend to understand, and I want to deceive everyone, then it's too much to look down on!" ”
"Who do you say doesn't know how to pretend to understand?" Nan Xiaoqiao took the case. (To be continued.) )
