At this moment, when he came to the General's Mansion to announce Cheng Ziyu's entry into the palace, the chamberlain was Gonggong Feng.

He is the same as Father-in-law Yu, one of the few people in the emperor who can still be trusted.

He came in person, and it was solemn.

It's not good!

"Quick, find someone to go to the workshop, the news must be hidden, and the old man can't know. To the outside world, it is said that the old man is in retreat. Let me come to me for anything. This was Cheng Ziyu's first reaction.

At this moment, several conjectures popped up in her mind. I am afraid that someone will not be able to take advantage of Jingxi and transfer the target to the Beijing workshop, which is the beginning of the workshop, and I am afraid that someone will target He Sijing again, and I am afraid that someone will hit the old man with their ideas......

"If there is a problem with the goods, it should be passed on to me first, or to my grandfather, why did he Sijing pass it on first?"

Uncanny.

Cheng Ziyu muttered and changed her clothes as quickly as she could.

"Find someone to tell my sister, I will definitely ensure that He Sijing is okay. Tell her that Cheng Mansion and He Mansion will not stay for the time being, and let her either go to the workshop or come to the General's Mansion. Cheng Ziyu ordered before walking out of the inner room.

Gonggong Feng waited outside.

Respectfully, as always.

Cheng Ziyu gave a reward, but Gonggong Feng refused.

Some words never need to be spoken, and everyone can know it with a single action.

didn't even accept a reward, which means that he has scruples, and Cheng Ziyu is even worse.

But she still insisted on stuffing a bulging purse to Grandpa Feng's with her own hands.

"Father-in-law doesn't have to be difficult. It's just that when I saw my father-in-law coming in a hurry, I didn't even have time to drink tea, so I didn't want to go, so I invited you to drink and eat. ”

Gonggong Feng accepted the purse, and the smile on his face was even more relaxed: "The county lord is polite." Let's hurry up, the emperor has been busy with official business for two hours now, and he is a little tired at this time, so we can't ask the emperor to wait. ”

This Father-in-law Feng is already very face-saving, and there is already a lot of information leaked in this statement.

Tiredness means a bad mood.

Two hours? Isn't that all the way from the bottom to the back? Gonggong Feng missed such a word, does it mean that the emperor has been worried about Cheng's family affairs for the past two hours?

In particular, the word "urgent" is a big hint. Is the stakes high?

There is also the word "official business", is it reminding her that this is not an ordinary trivial and private matter, and it has risen to the point that the emperor must take care of it.

Cheng Ziyu hurriedly followed Gonggong Feng, and asked a few more questions in a low voice.

"I heard that my cousin has entered the palace, is the emperor talking to him?"

"In addition to Second Master He, there are many people in the emperor's place. The county lord will know when he goes. ”

"Is it because of Cheng Jiatao?"

"It's not that the old slave doesn't answer you, but the imperial study, and the idle people can't wait to enter. The slave really doesn't know. ”

Cheng Ziyu's heart sank again.

The Imperial Study?

All in the Imperial Study?

Not to mention the idle people, how many courtiers can enter and exit the imperial study? Either a high-ranking position or a matter of great importance will be allowed to enter.

Not a lot of people? And what does that mean?

In other words, at this moment, there are many people gathered in the imperial study, interrogating He Sijing, and still waiting for him to go?

He Sijing doesn't know how to poke any big basket, he can make such a big fuss, I'm afraid that someone will really do it.

According to what Xia Wei inquired, it was the Cheng family's goods that were involved in major events. But what could cause such an uproar?

You know, no matter how she is, she is also a woman.

is the princess and concubine, without the permission of the emperor, and they are not allowed to enter the imperial study.

Following Gonggong Feng out of the General's Mansion, she saw that there were more than 20 people in the palace.

It's like coming to invite her into the palace, and it's clear that "must" come to take her.

Before getting into the car, Cheng Ziyu grabbed Gonggong Feng.

"Father-in-law, I've not been feeling well lately, can I bring a few more people into the palace?" She had to test it.

"Inferior...... Just bring one. ”

Cheng Ziyu's heart was even cooler when she heard this.

In the past, she entered the palace, but no one cared about this. At most, she brought six people into the palace and no one stopped her. But at this moment, Gonggong Feng's meaning is clearly reluctant to bring one.

"So, do you need anything for me to bring?"

The county lord laughed, there was nothing in the palace. It would be nice for the county master to go. After Gonggong Feng spit out the last word, his drooping eyes were raised, and he swept them left and right with his eyeballs.

"Thank you, father-in-law." Cheng Ziyu's heart was cold.

What does Gonggong Feng mean, does it mean that someone nearby is staring? Is it in this group of palace people, or in the shadows? No wonder Xia Wei and they have always felt that today is wrong.

Before Cheng Ziyu got into the car, Xia Wei whispered in a low voice.

"Xia Wei, you can help me go to the workshop! There's no one in charge of the big picture in the workshop. This is what Cheng Ziyu is most worried about at the moment. In the painting, He Sijing and himself are not in the workshop, it is too easy to be taken advantage of.

"Yes, don't worry, master."

"Transfer some of the people from the General's Mansion to the workshop and take good care of them. Also, let my sister stop coming to the General's Mansion and go directly to the workshop to wait for news and others. A must go. Just say it's my order! Xia Wei, the workshop will be handed over to you. When I am not there, you help me to take full control, what's the problem, do you remember what I told you a few days ago? Be sure to help me keep what I need. ”

Xia Wei patted her chest and promised not to be dishonored, and after some instructions, she turned over and left quickly through the back door......

Cheng Ziyu guessed correctly.

The Emperor did see her in the Imperial Study.

She had been here twice in her previous life.

The first time, when the Queen Mother brought her to see the emperor and insisted on promoting her to Princess An, the emperor interrogated her sharply here, and she dealt with it carefully for nearly an hour, and the emperor was still full of disgust for her.

The second time, when she knew that something had happened to Jingxi, she came to defend herself for the Cheng family, and knelt outside the imperial study for a few hours, before finally getting a lot of charges thrown out by the emperor who couldn't even defend herself......

This time, the place still made her panic.

Still, nothing good.

What Grandpa Feng said is true.

In the imperial study, there were more than a dozen adults standing, sitting and kneeling. Although the movements are different, the expressions are surprisingly consistent: dignified.

He Sijing was kneeling on the ground.

Kneeling beside him was a man who looked slightly older than him. Cheng Ziyu only felt familiar, but couldn't remember who it was. In addition, there are two middle-aged men who look similar to the young man who are also kneeling, and these three people are supposed to be a family.

And these three people are staring at He Sijing.

Hearing that she had asked the emperor for peace, the three of them turned their heads to look behind them.

Cheng Ziyu didn't need to look up, he could feel the undisguised unkind eyes of the three of them.

She quickly figured out what was going on.

It turned out that the three people around He Sijing were all surnamed Bao.

That young man was the young man Bao Gongzi who had glanced at Cheng Ziyu when he followed He Sijing for entertainment. This person, like Zhao San, is often talked about by He Sijing.

If Cheng Ziyu is not mistaken, the fact that He Sijing was able to enter that circle that day was introduced by this Bao Gongzi. And He Sijing won the first few orders, and this Bao Gongzi also contributed a lot.

At the moment, it is said that there is a problem with the batch of goods made by the Cheng family for the Bao family.

That shipment was not small, 5,000 bottles.

At that time, He Sijing was very happy to win this order, and he deliberately showed off in front of Cheng Ziyu. This batch of goods is also the first batch of wine bottles from the Cheng family workshop in the capital. Cheng Ziyu and He Sijing attach great importance to this, and they have stared at it several times.

Cheng Ziyu remembers it very clearly.

This was ordered in March and delivered in mid-April. It's been half a year, but I didn't expect something to happen.

It turned out that the main focus of the Bao family's industry was the sale of wine, and they used this batch of bottles to fill the wine as soon as they got the goods. A good bottle with a good wine, the Bao family values this batch of wine very much.

And before they started selling, the old man of the Cheng family developed a royal drunk and became an instant hit. Subsequently, Cheng's goods doubled and became popular.

In this situation, the Bao family did not rush to sell this batch of wine, but chose to sell it at a price.

Especially in the situation that it is difficult to find a piece or two of the drunken mud, the formula is not solved, and how many people can't ask for it, their batch of wine bottles are also stained with the light of the drunkenness, and the value has turned over.

The batch of liquor that was suppressed was not sold to the Jin merchant Changjia until August.

The other party is used to set up the wedding wine, and the amount required is large and the money is not bad, so this batch of 5,000 bottles was taken down by the Chang family in one go.

The day before yesterday, Chang's family and grandson used this wine for their wedding banquet, and the pomp of the wine bottle alone received unanimous praise.

But before the banquet was over, something happened.

For a time, there was a lot of wailing.

Seventy percent of the guests hugged their bellies.

Especially in the men's seats, many people rolled in pain, and some people foamed at the mouth on the spot, rolled their eyelids and fainted.

The doctor immediately suspected that someone had poisoned.

Although there are doctors to help, there are too many guests who have no choice but to fall ill suddenly.

After a period of scramble for treatment, it still failed to save more than a dozen lives.

They died under the table.

And the reason why the rest of the guests escaped seems to be not because they were treated in time, but because they were not deeply poisoned. After a large amount of watering, the toxicity was diluted and preserved.

The government arrived at the scene and cordoned off the scene as soon as possible.

It was confirmed that it was poisoning.

Tea, water, food, and wine were inspected, kitchens were sealed, and wells were checked.

In order to prevent the gangsters from poisoning, everyone was detained in Chang's house.

And the Chang family not only turned into a happy event, but also lost face and became a big joke, and it was even suspected of poisoning.

How can they be willing to give up, and the demand is to dig three feet into the ground, and they will definitely find out.

It was found that the kitchen, well water, and dishes were all fine, and the guests were not suspicious.

The government focused on the drinks.

It was soon confirmed that there was a problem with the wine.

It's worth it!

Is the wine that comes at a great price poisonous?

The Chang family is a powerful branch of the Jin merchants, and even if they contacted many well-known big people in Beijing, they united the two government offices and caught the Bao family off guard.

The Bao family has been turned over from several large warehouses to wine cellars, and no problems have been found. And after the inspection from the imperial doctor to the local government, they unanimously determined that the poison was in this batch of wine.

Of the 5,000 bottles, more than 3,000 remain unopened.

The mouth of the Baojia wine bottle has a one-time seal, so it is impossible for outsiders to succeed in poisoning. As a result, both the Chang family and the government set their sights on the Bao family.

The Bao family didn't admit it and asked, why couldn't the poison be in the bottle?

And after the bottle is broken, there is indeed a residue of toxins in the inner layer.

So there is some truth to this question.

The wine was sealed for several months before it was sold, so was the poison released into the bottle, or was the bottle soaked for many days permeated with poison?

So no matter what, the problem is either the Bao family, who is in charge of the wine, or the Cheng family, who supplies the bottles.

As a merchant of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Chang family has to solve great military "difficulties" for the imperial court every year, so these dozen lives, huge losses, and the grievances of the emperor cannot be ignored. They almost easily got to the emperor.

The Bao family felt wronged, and Bao Gongzi was so angry that he found out He Sijing, who sold himself and boasted that day and placed an order.

Because of this, as soon as this matter was discovered, He Sijing was called in for questioning first.

The emperor didn't want to involve Cheng Ziyu, but he had no choice but to ...... His imperial study had already fallen to his knees, and even he had been put on the shelf......

Cheng Ziyu also frowned from the emperor's frowning, and always felt that something was strange.

It's not because of this inexplicable lawsuit, it seems that there are others?

She took a deep breath and fought the battle in front of her first!

More than a dozen lives, nine times out of ten, still coming at her! The other party's method is really unscrupulous.

Cheng Ziyu couldn't help but look at the Bao family a few more times.

The group of sons who are good friends with He Sijing, including Bao Gongzi, she has checked before, and in terms of position, they do not have any obvious position, and she has not found anything wrong. Even Li Chun let her just relax.

So now that this is making trouble, is it because they covered up and performed well before, deceiving their own people's sight? Or are they also being exploited? Is this Bao family deliberate or innocent?

However, the people behind the scenes can quietly arrange chess pieces like Spring Calyx, and it is naturally not difficult to make a move in the wine bottle.

"The Cheng family doesn't need to be checked, there must be no suspicion."

Cheng Ziyu naturally wants to argue. "We're just shipping, and we don't know who you're going to sell it to. How could we deliberately poison a bottle? We have no motive! ”

"What do you mean by this? Would we be so stupid as to poison our own drinks? Are we stupid enough to cheat our own financiers? What other motives, does the county lord want to splash dirty water and insist that our Bao family has enmity with the Chang family?

Tell you, there's no such thing! Although the Chang family and my family do not have much friendship, they have also had several contacts, and they cooperate happily with each other, and they don't even say a word. Since our Bao family is doing business, how can we cocoon ourselves and smash our own signboard? ”

The head of the Bao family was not happy and spat at Cheng Ziyu.

"I didn't mean that, but is it possible that someone deliberately took advantage of the Bao family's unpreparedness to start filling the wine or transporting the sub-packaged wine?"

This is the greatest possibility that Cheng Ziyu thought of.

The family is big and the business is big, who doesn't have an enemy, this matter can not be ruled out that someone is going to the Bao family, and it may be that there are people in the Bao family who are making trouble.

But her questioning sounded like a shirk to the Bao family. Whether it is or not, if it is according to this statement, isn't it still their Bao family's pot?

"No way! Baojia Liquor has been doing it for 300 years, and every process is controlled layer by layer and repeatedly inspected. You can't go wrong! So the problem must not be with my Bao family! Before the county lord questioned the Bao family, you might as well think about your Cheng family, is there a problem in any link? ”
