Chapter 176: Spring in front of the sick tree
But after only staying for a while, the shouting outside became quieter.
Jin Xiaotao was strange, and sent a guy to open a small crack on the edge of the window and look out secretly.
"The shopkeeper, it's strange, the boss of Liulifang is saving people outside!" The guy turned his head and shouted at Jin Xiaotao.
"What?!" Jin Xiaotao jumped up, hurriedly leaned over, and through the crack in the window, she saw that Jin Xiaolou led the girl in the workshop just now to carry a big wooden bucket, and the other person held a stack of bowls, and was scooping the black and slimy soup for those people one by one.
At first glance, you are prepared.
After another three or two hours, seeing that the people who were in pain had gotten better, they all knelt down at the feet of Jin Xiaolou and called her a living bodhisattva.
Jin Xiaotao was so angry that she grabbed the guy next to her: "Quick!" Go and invite the adults from the government's mansion! ”
"What a golden building, dare to play tricks in front of me!"
Jin Xiaotao immediately scolded, opened the door of the store, stood out, pointed at Jin Xiaolou and scolded: "In order to steal business, the golden shopkeeper of Liulifang actually resorted to such a trick and poisoned the jelly of my Deji!" It's really shameless! ”
After that, he swept around the people who worshiped Xie Jin Xiaolou, and then said: "She is the one who poisoned you, and you still thank her?" It's so stupid to get home! ”
"Think about it, if it wasn't for her poisoning, how could she have come to save you in such a timely manner with a decoction?"
These people didn't believe it, but when they heard Jin Xiaotao's words, they all had doubts.
Seeing that everyone looked up at Jin Xiaolou suspiciously, Chaoyi hurriedly whispered in Jin Xiaolou's ear: "Shopkeeper, do you want to find someone from the official mansion?" ”
Jin Xiaolou spoke: "No, she Jin Xiaotao will arrange people for us properly." ”
Sure enough, after a while, I saw Bai Ruyi, the young secretary of Dali Temple, walking towards Deji with a few people.
Jin Xiaotao's face was not good, and she scolded the guy: "Why are you from Dali Temple?" ”
The guy scratched his head: "This Lord Bai happened to be in the yamen, and when he heard that it was related to the golden shopkeeper of Liulifang, he immediately said that he would go in person." ”
Before Jin Xiaotao could speak, Bai Ruyi had already stepped forward, saluted Jin Xiaolou in the middle, and then asked Jin Xiaotao, "What's wrong?" ”
Jin Xiaotao slandered in her heart, a dignified Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and when she came to salute a woman who was nothing, she really caught up to shoot the sycophants of the Seventh Prince!
"Jin Xiaolou poisoned people, my lord, you have to enforce the law impartially in front of everyone's eyes, don't show favoritism!"
Jin Xiaotao raised her lips and smiled, she didn't believe that this Shaoqing of Dali Temple dared to shield the suspect in public.
But the two words of private affection turned the white face flushed, and there was no serious appearance in the past.
Bai Ruyi took a deep breath, pinched the tender flesh in the palm of his hand, forcibly suppressed the beating heart, and secretly told himself, don't think about it, don't increase delusions, and after a while, the mood slowly returned to normal.
When I looked up, I heard that Jin Xiaotao had already opened her mouth to accuse: "Boss Jin of Liulifang is only jealous that my family's Deji's jelly sells better than her, so he resorted to vicious means and secretly poisoned my family's jelly." My lord, look at these people, after eating this poisonous jelly, they are dizzy and painful, and they don't punish her for their crimes, but they are afraid that it will make people's hearts uneasy! ”
Bai Ruyi looked at the people around him, most of them had improved much after taking Jin Xiaolou's decoction, and there were a few who were already serious, and they could still see the redness and swelling in their throats at the moment.
"You said it was the poison under Jin Xiaolou, but is there any evidence?" Bai Ruyi asked Jin Xiaotao rhetorically.
"Of course, there is!" Jin Xiaotao pointed with his hand, "The decoction in Jin Xiaolou's hand is evidence!" If it wasn't for her poisoning, how would she know how to detoxify? It's coming so fast, at first glance, it's already prepared and waiting for the opportunity! ”
After speaking, Jin Xiaotao hurriedly said: "My lord, such a wicked woman, in order to make money, she does not hesitate to kill people, even if she is beaten to death with a stick!" ”
The last sentence was said extremely indifferently, and the hairs on Jin Xiaolou's arms stood up when he heard it, and he couldn't stop feeling cold.
The two of them were sisters, and they grew up together since childhood, so what can they hate?
Even if she was unhappy at home in the past, Jin Xiaotao and Jin Xiaolou were the two who were oppressed together, Jin Xiaolou asked herself, in her memory, it was always Jin Xiaotao who secretly bullied her, and she didn't do anything to hurt Jin Xiaotao.
What's more, because Jin Xiaolou was stupid in the past, she always thought that Jin Xiaotao was really good to her, and she was also devoted to Jin Xiaotao, what heavy work did she have, she didn't wait for Jin Xiaotao to speak, she had already rushed to do it first.
Jin Xiaolou sighed, originally thinking that Jin Xiaotao was just vain and selfish jealousy, and wanted to drive himself back to his hometown.
But he didn't want to, the other party hated him so much that he wanted his life.
"Little Lou girl, what do you want to say?" Bai Ruyi perked up and turned his head to Jin Xiaolou to ask.
Jin Xiaolou's expression was indifferent: "I did come prepared." ”
As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked, Bai Ruyi frowned instantly, and wanted to open her mouth to remind Jin Xiaolou and let her speak carefully.
Once some words are spoken, they can't be taken back, and even if they want to help her, they will inevitably be truthful.
Jin Xiaolou smiled lightly: "However, this poison was not given by me. ”
Bai Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief.
Jin Xiaotao's shout was already ringing in his ears: "Nonsense! If it weren't for your poisoning, how could you have prepared the antidote in advance, could it be that you have the ability to predict the future? ”
Bai Ruyi shook her head secretly, these two sisters, who grew up in the same family, how can they have such different behaviors in the sky and one in the ground......
"Just because of the ingredients used to make this jelly, the ghost head lotus rod is poisonous." Jin Xiaolou slowly arrived, "It's okay to eat the jelly in Liulifang, because I know the ghost head lotus rod well, and naturally know how to deal with detoxification, and you, you don't know anything about it, you only know how to copy my recipe for making jelly, and you can learn the same, but the poison in the lotus rod can't get rid of half a point." The jelly of De Kee is poisonous from the moment you make it. ”
"The whole plant of the Devil's Head Lotus Stem is poisonous." Jin Xiaolou continued, "Among them, the root is the most, the tongue and throat are swollen and painful after poisoning, the burning is unbearable, and in severe cases, it will even lead to unconscious, and it is necessary to take vinegar and a little ginger juice to detoxify." ”
Jin Xiaolou shrugged: "If you don't believe it, let Jin Xiaotao, the boss of Deji, make a jelly in front of everyone, anyway, I have the antidote here, you can eat it with confidence and try it." ”
Having said that, none of the people present dared to try.
Thinking about the pain that just now had a hot throat that I couldn't pick and scratch, no one wanted to do it again.
Bai Ruyi stared, beckoned, and a middle-aged man followed behind him walked up.
"Old ochre, go to the back kitchen of Deji and take a look at those ghost-headed lotus rods." Bai Ruyi commanded.
Before the words fell, He Guangkun had already walked out of Deji with a bundle of lotus rods: "My lord, it's all here." ”
The old ochre hurriedly stepped forward to check, and after half a cup of tea, he raised his head and nodded at Bai Ruyi.
"Come on, seal the Deji, Jin Xiaotao will take it back to the yamen, hit the twenty boards, and fine five hundred taels of silver." Bai Ruyi showed no mercy, and as soon as he confessed, the two attendants, one on the left and one on the right, had already taken Jin Xiaotao into custody.
Jin Xiaotao knew that he was defeated by Jin Xiaolou, and it was in vain to defend again.
At the moment, he just stared at Jin Xiaolou hatefully, and said, "Don't be too complacent!" There's still a long way to go, do you think you'll have the last laugh? ”
"Whether I can have the last laugh, I don't know." Jin Xiaolou smiled, "But right now, you can't laugh." ”
"You!" Jin Xiaotao was so hateful that her eyes were about to pop out, and she wanted to say more, but she was pushed forward by the people on both sides and pulled away.
Jin Xiaolou took the tide clothes and distributed the remaining decoction before getting up and leaving.
The people surrounding Jin Xiaolou thanked and thanked, and they all felt in their hearts that from now on, no matter which one made the same food as the two shops of Liuli Linlang, they would never be greedy to eat again.
These fresh sweet water snacks are only authentic if they are made by the gold shopkeeper, and there will be some mess in other homes according to the gold shopkeeper's copy.
Sure enough, you get what you pay for.
Jin Xiaolou once again played the signboards of the two shops of Liuli Linlang even louder.
This time, she also has to thank Jin Xiaotao, because there was a problem with Jin Xiaotao's imitation of plagiarized copycats, and her Jin Xiaolou brand became more valuable.
It wasn't until Jin Xiaolou left that the crowd dispersed, and the front of Deji was empty.
Bai Ruyi came back to his senses at this time, the person who was betting on Jin Xiaotao had already gone away, and he was followed by his own henchmen.
"Your Excellency." The little guy whispered.
"Let's go." Bai Ruyi shook his spirit, raised his feet and left.
……
In the emperor's bedroom, there were many people around the dragon couch.
The medicinal effect of a Wuli grass has almost passed, and the white-bearded and white-haired Miao doctor checked the emperor's pulse, shook his head, and said to the queen on the side: "Niangniang, the villain is really powerless." His Majesty's dragon body is seriously damaged, and he has to take three ginseng soups every day to boost his qi, but this is not a long-term solution, and if His Majesty wants to recover, he still needs Wuli grass. ”
Since the emperor was so angry that he fainted with a violent cough, he still hasn't woken up until now.
Younger people like Yang Guiren and others have long been hiding behind and secretly wiping away tears.
The queen thinks this is the best news, the Wuli grass is already out of season, and she can't find it now.
At that moment, he ordered the concubines to go back separately, and also sent Doctor Miao away, sat on the side, and held the emperor's hand.
As soon as his hand was covered, he saw the emperor's eyelids move.
The queen was startled, for fear of waking up the emperor, so she hurriedly let go, just leaned over, and whispered in the emperor's ear: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the concubine will definitely guard Yu'er and guard the Great Zhou Dynasty for you." ”
After that, the eyebrows and eyes are flying, and the posture is thousands. Facing the dying old Son of Heaven, the queen instantly had overflowing energy and anger, and she felt that her life seemed to have really begun now.
