Lu Xiyi stared at Zhang San, and until now, Lu Xiyi couldn't fully believe that everything Zhang San said was true: "What did you feed that night?" ”

"I didn't feed anything!" Zhang San spread his hands, "The weather changed quickly that day, and after I drove all the pigs to the pigsty, the rain fell, and I quickly locked the door and ran home." ”

Lu Xiyi frowned, went to the pig trough to check, and found that as Zhang San said, there was no food residue in the pig trough. Just when Lu Xiyi and Xue'er were puzzled, Liu Ji's cry came from outside the pigsty. They hurried out.

Lu Xiyi saw Liu Ji staring at the ground, his eyes shining: "Brother Liu, what's wrong?" ”

"There are footprints on the ground, and there are footprints on the mud wall of the pigsty!" Liu Ji pointed it out to Lu Xiyi and others. The footprints were small, like a woman's feet.

Lu Xiyi looked at Zhang San: "You step on the wall and take a look." ”

Zhang San didn't know what Lu Xiyi wanted to do, so according to her instructions, he stepped on a footprint on the wall, and the two footprints were different! When he first entered this place, Lu Xiyi saw Zhang San's two guys, they were both taller than Zhang Sansan, and it was impossible for the footprints to be smaller than Zhang San's, so it could be concluded that this small footprint belonged to someone outside.

Perhaps it was this "outsider" who climbed over the fence on the night of the rain, jumped into the pigsty, and poisoned all the pigs. But how did he poison the pig? And the most important question, why did the other party poison Zhang San's pigs?

Lu Xiyi asked Zhang San, and Zhang San said that he had no enemies and no grudges, so he could not use the reason for revenge to explain that all the pigs were poisoned.

Lu Xiyi returned to the winery unhappy, and she faintly felt that this time the incident had something to do with the Xiaoyao winery. Fortunately, the drugs used by the other party to poison the pigs are not enough to poison people.

Zhong Yihan was already sitting in a secluded seat in the winery, and when he saw Lu Xiyi's brows, her face gloomy, and her cherry mouth pursed, he knew that something bad had happened to her.

Liu Ji hadn't eaten since the morning, and as soon as he came in, he picked up a bun and ate it with tea, tearing it and eating it, almost choking himself.

"Slow down, like a starving ghost!" Li Xiao looked at Liu Ji dissatisfied, thinking that it was so indecent for a boy to eat like a brother.

Liu Ji patronized eating, so he didn't bother to talk to Li Xiao, who liked to raise the bar.

Lu Xiyi sat next to Zhong Yihan, and Zhong Yihan poured her a cup of tea: "Shopkeeper Lu, where have you been?" Seems upset? ”

Lu Xiyi suddenly looked at Zhong Yihan, he was cool-headed, quick to react, and thorough in analysis, maybe he could help her solve this problem, so he told Zhang San about it.

"I think I'd better go to the place where Zhang San raised pigs to have a look, so that I can give you an answer to why hundreds of pigs died overnight." Zhong Yihan pinched his chin and thought for a long time.

Lu Xiyi's temperament was more anxious than Zhong Yihan, so he jumped up from the chair: "Without further ado, I'll go over with you right away!" ”

Burst! Liu Ji squirted out the buns and tea that he ate in his mouth, and his eyes widened: I was in a hurry to check the matter, and I had to eat before I went, right?

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of horses' hooves on the street, and two fast horses came, and after a small horse's roar, two eunuchs of the Internal Affairs Office dressed in splendid clothes stood at the door of the Xiaoyao Wine Workshop, and they all had smiles on their faces.

"Is Lu Xiyi here?" One of the eunuchs had a shrill voice, as if it were a woman.

Lu Xiyi hurriedly came over to greet him: "Two fathers-in-law, what are you doing?" ”

"Hmph, why else did I come to you?" The eunuch didn't smile, and squinted at Lu Xiyi, "Are you ready for today's tribute?" We're going to take a few cylinders back! ”

It's miserable, there is a problem with the fat sent by Xue'er in the past few days, Lu Xiyi has not brewed jade ice roast, and there is no leftover in the wine shop. Lu Xiyi smiled with a smile: "Is this wine the emperor wants to taste?" "If the emperor wants it, it will be even more amazing, Lu Xiyi was uneasy in his heart.

"It's not the emperor, it's our chief and the people in the inner government who want to taste it. Why, Shopkeeper Lu refused to give it to us? The eunuch's eyes blinked, he was quite kind just now, but now he has a pair of white eyes.

Lu Xiyi was embarrassed: "There is no jade ice burning today, it is better to ...... another day"

"Another day?" The eunuch's face suddenly gloomy, "Aren't you in the brewing business?" How could there be no wine to sell? I'm afraid, you look down on our chief steward, right? ”

These eunuchs, how dare Lu Xiyi offend, there is really no jade ice to burn! Suddenly, Lu Xiyi's heart lit up: Could it be that the person who poisoned Zhang San's pig came at her? Do you want her to brew jade ice and offend the emperor and the powerful? If that's the case, the person who came up with this solution is too vicious!

The eunuch coughed twice: "What's the matter, Shopkeeper Lu doesn't speak?" ”

"Father-in-law, there is really no jade ice burning today! Tomorrow, tomorrow I will definitely send it to the palace myself! Lu Xiyi said, giving Li Xiao a look, Li Xiao understood, took out two bags of silver, and each eunuch gave one bag.

The eunuch weighed the bag, and there were as many as ten taels. Although there were less, they didn't want to embarrass Lu Xiyi too much, after all, Lu Xiyi was the emperor's imperial businessman: "Okay then!" Let's go buy other wine and go back and talk to the steward. We'll come out again tomorrow, and there will be no jade ice burning at that time, so don't blame us for not being emotional. ”

Lu Xiyi laughed a few more times, and the two eunuchs turned around proudly, got on their horses, and left with a puff of smoke and dust on the street.

"Something!" Li Xiao slammed, slammed his fist on the table, and spilled Liu Ji's tea.

Liu Ji picked his teeth and said with a smile: "They are naturally things, things that are not yin or yang!" ”

"Alright, no kidding. Li Xiao and Brother Liu went to buy fatty meat from other vendors, and when they bought it, they immediately brewed jade ice roast, and these eunuchs couldn't afford to offend. Lu Xiyi felt uncomfortable when he thought that someone was secretly staring at him and putting cold arrows on her, and his face was very solemn, "Eldest prince, if it is convenient for you, we will go to the place where Zhang San raises pigs now." ”

Zhong Yihan saw that Lu Xiyi's face was a little pale, and he knew that he hadn't eaten: "I'm not in a hurry!" It's noon too, so let's eat and fill our stomachs before we go! ”

After lunch, Lu Xiyi and Zhong Yihan rode horses to find Zhang San, and Li Xiao and Liu Ji also went to buy fatty meat to make jade ice roast. The two of them came to the market, and it was the time of activity.

"Boss, do you have any fat to sell?" Li Xiao asked as she stood in front of a vendor.

The boss held a boning knife in one hand and shook it with the other: "No, the fat has already been bought by others." ”

Li Xiao and Liu Ji had to go to another stall.

"Boss, do you still have fat?" Liu Ji took a look at the stall, it was clean, where was the fat? Even the lean meat is not sold.

The boss lay on the hammock under the willow tree and slept with a fan: "No, it was bought out early in the morning!" ”
