In order to protect the official position and life, everyone did not bother anymore, and soon the entire Guanquan Mansion knew that the water could not be drunk and would be poisoned.

No one dares to drink water anymore, if you really want to drink water, you will catch a chicken or something, try it first, whether this bucket of water can be drunk. The livestock raised are fine, so they dare to use this bucket of water, and they still dare not drink the bucket of water at will.

Zhuang Rou had nothing to do in the state capital, everyone was sent out, and the number of poisoned people and the condition were controlled first, and the medicinal materials had to be prepared. If the poison is cured, then stop drinking too much medicine, and keep the medicine for others who have not taken it.

Now there are too many poisoned people, and the medicinal herbs can't resist letting you drink to your heart's content, as long as the poison has been cured and you won't die, you can go home and lie down.

For those whose families were poisoned and did not withstand it, all the bodies were concentrated in Yizhuang outside the city, and after the matter was over, they were buried by the government.

Zhuang Rou was not originally from the Guanquan Prefecture Prefecture, no one dared to arrange things for her to do, and she couldn't interfere in anything.

After thinking about it, she followed the spring where most of the people in the city drank, and slowly went upstream to check.

The spring flow, which is always crowded on weekdays, is now like a poisonous ditch, and no one dares to approach the spring anymore. They were forced to go to the small remote springs with water, and held chickens, cats, dogs and other domestic animals, lined up to fetch a bucket of water, and let them drink it before they dared to take it home to use.

No one is better, Zhuang Rou took Yinba up the spring, and she had to watch out for Yinba running to drink water, beckoning it all the way forward.

However, when I walked to the edge of the city, I didn't find anything unusual, and no one would do the stupid thing of pouring poison into it and throwing the bottle next to it.

But the people living on the edge of the city also have people who have been poisoned, but the spring water is flowing, although the flow rate is very slow, but it is still moving rather than static, and the poison cannot stay!

Zhuang Rou went out of the city, and the spring flowed down from the mountain next to it, and even if he brought a hundred barrels of venom and poured it into the spring, he could still flow through the city once.

Poisoning only happened at dawn, and there were not many people fetching water at that time, and if the poison was released at this time, it would not kill a few people at all, and it was impossible to poison so many people.

She stood by the stream, looking at the spring that was already in the valley of the mountain forest, and was a little puzzled.

Isn't it the spring water that poisons people?

Zhuang Jin said that he was poisoned after drinking water at night, and Zhao Zhifu was poisoned because he had to drink a bowl of bird's nest every morning.

It looks like it's all water, but is it really water?

After thinking about it, Zhuang Rou squatted by the spring and drank the water, the spring water was sweet and cool, which made people feel refreshed.

Yinba hadn't taken another sip of water since he woke up in the morning, and now seeing that Zhuang Rou could drink water, it snorted anxiously.

"Yinba, wait a minute, I haven't poisoned you and you can drink it again." Zhuang Rou comforted it, and after waiting for a while, she didn't feel poisoned, so she was sure that there was no poison in this spring.

She patted Yinba and said, "Drink it, there is no problem with this spring water." ”

Yinba got her words, and quickly lay down on the edge of the spring and drank it, and waited until he had drunk enough before getting up and patting his chest with satisfaction.

"Let's go, let's go back to the city, there is no poison in this spring." Zhuang Rou called it and went down the mountain to return to the city.

She picked up a small bamboo bucket at the spring at the entrance of the city, took a scoop of water at the water intake, drank it in front of the people pointing at the spring, and continued to walk without saying a word.

Every time she went to the water pool by a spring, Zhuang Rou had to stop and take a scoop of spring water to drink a few sips, all the way down, there was no poisonous spring pool.

From the end of the city to the head of the city, she drank all the water from the springs along the way, and there was nothing but cold water in her stomach.

Zhuang Roucai didn't believe that he could still be invulnerable, and there was definitely no problem with water.

She returned to the yamen and in front of all the officials, she brought spring water to drink, proving that the water was not poisonous.

The officials of Guanquan Mansion breathed a sigh of relief, if they really couldn't drink water, how much panic they would have. They quickly ordered the officials to take the gong and go out along the streets to inform the people that the water was drinkable.

However, before drinking, let the livestock taste it first.

Just now, the master of the horse who came from the capital has drunk all the water in all the spring pools in the spring source of the city, and now it is still good and not poisoned, so everyone can eat it with confidence.

Many people have just been poisoned and killed, and even if the people refuse to believe it, they will still drink water after a long time. When the time comes, if you have the courage to taste it, you will know that the government has not deceived people.

Although the water is okay and the medicinal soup is also being decocted, the poison has not yet been found out, so it still cannot be taken lightly.

An official asked: "Don Ma, since you said that this poison did not go into the water, how did it poison so many people?" There were also many people in the yamen who were poisoned, and even adults were also poisoned. ”

"The adults didn't go out of the mansion last night, and there are so many servants and guards in the back office, how can the poisoned person run in and find the kitchen, and no one has found it at all?"

Zhuang Rou let out a long breath and said: "Originally, I suspected that it was poisoned in rice noodles or salt, and it was bought home by many people, and it was poisoned after eating it. ”

"However, the prefect only ate bird's nest in the morning, and did not eat any salt or rice noodles. The poisoned people are not only not rich businessmen, but also ordinary people, it is not common to be able to eat a piece of sugar, who can get up early in the morning and gnaw on sugar, let alone so many poisoned people. ”

At this time, the general judgment of Guan Quanfu said: "My lords, this official has sent someone to check the contents of the kitchen of the poisoned people's homes, including the kitchen of the Yamen, among the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and rice noodles, and finally found that it was poisonous. ”

An official couldn't help but say, "Can this poison still fly?" ”

His concubine, his wife, and several subordinates were poisoned, although they had already drunk the decoction, but they hurt their concubine, and they were very angry, and they wished to find out the murderer of the poison as soon as possible.

At this time, when I saw the general sentence of the criminal case, I couldn't find out where the poison was, so I shouted out.

Tong Juan usually didn't deal with him much, and suddenly glared at him fiercely, "If Master Sun thinks that this official is incompetent, then go and check it yourself." ”

Flying?

Zhuang Rou suddenly said: "It's possible to fly!" ”

"What? How can the poison fly, now that it's cold and there are no mosquitoes, can there be poisonous mosquitoes? Everyone looked at Zhuang Rou, this saying that the poison was flying was just angry words, can she still take it seriously?

Zhuang Rou said to everyone: "Poison does not have to be put into eating, there are also cases of touching or smelling poisoning. It is also very likely that if the poison is turned into smoke, lit and thrown into the courtyard, and the person who opens the window to breathe in the air smells it and gets poisoned. ”

"Otherwise, how could so many people get together and be poisoned. People with thick tents were not poisoned if they didn't get up in the middle of the night and open the windows at night, so there were some people in the family who were poisoned, and some who were fine. ”
