Chapter 157: How Pigs Were Poisoned
The two of them asked from the top of the city to the end of the city, and all the fat was bought, and there was not a pound left! Li Xiao and Liu Ji wondered, who has a red and white affair, what do they want so much fat to do? When asked, those vendor owners all said that they were bought by the same person, which made Li Xiao and Liu Ji even more confused.
The fat in the entire market, to say the least, is two or three thousand catties, how can anyone digest it? Could it be that it is the people of the government who come to buy fatty meat, and the government wants to hold a meeting to respect the elderly, and the elderly over 90 years old will give 100 catties of fatty meat? However, as far as Liu Ji knows, the Respect for the Elderly Conference is generally held at the end of the year or Chongyang, and it has never been held at this time.
The two of them ran for nothing, and they didn't buy one or two fat meats, how can they brew jade ice roast without fat meat? Without the jade ice burning, those two eunuchs will come over tomorrow, aren't they like rats that can't step on death, squeaking and squeaking? The two of them had sad faces, and sat in the wine shop waiting for Lu Xiyi and Zhong Yihan to see what they could do.
Lu Xiyi and the others found Zhang San and still asked him to take it to the pigsty to check. Lu Xiyi took Zhong Yihan to see the footprints on the mud wall, and Zhong Yihan also thought that the footprints were caused by people outside climbing over the wall into the pigsty and then poisoning them. But Lu Xiyi and Zhong Yihan both have a question, that is, how the other party poisoned the entire pigsty, so that all the pigs in the entire pigsty died, and none of them were spared.
"If you put poison in pig food, it is impossible for all pigs to eat it," Zhong Yihan pinched his chin and stared at him.
This is also something that Lu Xiyi can't figure out, how to do it to make all the pigs die? Even if it is a pig-by-pig feeding, it is impossible to feed all the pigs in one night.
At this moment, out of nowhere, black smoke drifted out, and the smoke and ashes fell on their heads and clothes.
Zhong Yihan patted his clothes: "Where is the fire?" ”
"Childe thinks too much, it's not that it's on fire." Zhang San said with a smile, "It's the farmers who are burning spring." ”
Lu Xiyi heard this word for the first time, and was very curious: "What is burning spring?" ”
"Burning spring is the time of spring, burning last year's straw and weeds, and covering them in the field to make fertilizer." Zhang San explained.
Lu Xiyi raised his eyes and looked, sure enough, there was not just a fire burning on a field, almost every piece of it, and he felt that the whole earth was burning, and green smoke filled the air and drifted into the distance. Lu Xiyi couldn't help but shrug her nose and sniff, she liked the smell of fire with the scent of earth and grass.
Zhong Yihan looked at Lu Xiyi's intoxicated appearance and shook his head: "What are you doing here?" Like a floral scent in the air? ”
"It's not the smell of flowers, it's the smell of fire." Lu Xiyi chuckled, innocent and innocent.
Zhong Yihan seemed to have been hit by Lu Xiyi's words, and with a bang, his eyes suddenly brightened. Lu Xiyi saw Zhong Yihan's strange appearance, and hurriedly asked, "Eldest son, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Come with me to the pigsty!" Zhong Yihan strode into the pigsty.
The pigsty stinks, there is either or urine on the ground, Lu Xiyi covers his mouth and nose, and one hand is busy fanning in front of his nose. Zhang San deals with pigs every day, and he is used to smelling these smells, and he doesn't feel that they stink.
Zhong Yihan also covered his mouth and nose, but his eyes were like two torches, looking for something on the ground. Suddenly, he was attracted to something. Lu Xiyi saw him squatting down, wiped his two fingers on the ground, and then put his fingers to his nose to smell, and suddenly his face wrinkled, as if he had eaten something bitter.
"Eldest Prince, what did you find?" Lu Xiyi approached Zhong Yihan and asked.
Zhong Yihan stood up, his expression was relieved, he looked at Lu Xiyi, and looked at Zhang San: "I know what method the other party used to poison all the pigs!" ”
"What's the solution?" Lu Xiyi and Zhang San asked in unison.
Zhong Yihan looked at the ground again, following his gaze, Lu Xiyi saw a pile of ashes on the ground, the ashes were yellow, but the ordinary ashes were black, Lu Xiyi suddenly understood, and scolded the bastard with hatred in his heart!
Zhong Yihan pinched his chin: "On that stormy night, the other party climbed in from the mud wall and burned a fire in the pigsty, this fire is not an ordinary fire, but a fire with poison." The poison volatilized and filled the air, and the pig was poisoned to death when he inhaled the poisonous gas. Not to mention hundreds of pigs, even tens of thousands of pigs have to be poisoned. ”
Zhang San was stunned in place, who had such a great hatred that he cruelly poisoned hundreds of pigs to death? Now the solution to poison the pig has been found, but the person who poisoned the pig has not been found.
Suddenly, there was a crisp finger sound in the air, Zhong Yihan looked at it, but it was Lu Xiyi who twisted his fingers, but whenever Lu Xiyi made this move, it meant that she had a way in her heart. So, Zhong Yihan cast a curious look at her.
"Zhang San, as far as you know, where else can you sell pigs?" Lu Xiyi asked Zhang San.
Zhang San thought for a while: "Go here for ten miles, there is a pig farmer, although he does not raise as many pigs as me, but he is also a big pig farmer. ”
Lu Xiyi and Zhong Yihan immediately went to that place with Zhang San, bought all the pigs, about a hundred heads, and rushed them to Zhang San's pigsty.
Lu Xiyi found that Zhang San had a depressed face, and knew what he was thinking: "Zhang San, don't worry, if these pigs are still poisoned, they will all be counted on us!" ”
With Lu Xiyi's words, Zhang San felt much more at ease.
That night, Lu Xiyi and Zhong Yihan did not go back to the winery, but had dinner at Zhang San's house. After eating, Lu Xiyi asked Zhang San to drive five pigs into Beijing first, let Xue'er kill the pigs, and send all the fat to Xiaoyao Wine Workshop.
Li Xiao and Liu Ji looked at the sunset, but they didn't see Lu Xiyi and Zhong Yihan coming back, and there was no way in their hearts, the two of them scratched their ears and cheeks, and walked in groups. Just when she was helpless, Xue'er suddenly took two helpers, carrying a basket covered with green lotus leaves.
"Two big brothers, hurry up and take these fat meat into it to brew jade ice roast!" Cher uncovered the lotus leaves, and they were filled with fresh fat.
Liu Ji and Li Xiao only showed happy expressions at this time, and after asking, they knew that it was Lu Xiyi who went to other places to drive pigs, so they had these fresh fat meats. I also learned that Lu Xiyi and Zhong Yihan would not come back tonight, and they were very worried about the two of them, and they didn't know what would happen to them tonight.
It was getting dark, and Zhang San went to the pigsty again and came back, telling Lu Xiyi and Zhong Yihan that there was nothing unusual about the pigsty. So, Lu Xiyi let Zhang San sleep.
The night was silent, and the night in the suburbs was much quieter than in the capital, so quiet that Lu Xiyi was a little uneasy. Seeing that it was almost time, Zhong Yihan said to Lu Xiyi, who was leaning against the door frame, "It's time for us to go!" ”
Zhong Yihan knew Lu Xiyi's plans, and the people who could be able to communicate with her were Ah Leng, except for Zhong Yihan. But Ah Leng is now the prince of Yongguo, and he ignores her, and his temperament is even completely different, which makes Lu Xiyi neither understand nor very sad.
It was just a flash of light, and Zhong Yihan also caught it: "Shopkeeper Lu, why are you suddenly sad?" ”
"Me? Have it? Lu Xiyi walked outside, she thought to herself, this Zhong Yihan was really thoughtful, and even the slightest change in feelings was seen by him.
Zhong Yihan followed her, and the faster she walked, the more it showed that he guessed correctly: "Sadness can be smelled." ”
Lu Xiyi tugged at the corners of his mouth: The nose is so smart, only a dog can do it!
