Chu Lixue's mind was spinning rapidly, what was the problem? Water is poisonous, and the antidote powder is also real, is it possible that this poison will grow on its own?

"Master, why don't you go back first, it's too dangerous here, someone can poison us right under our noses, which shows that the other party's methods are clever." Yi'an said in a deep voice.

"Yes, master, if the slave and maid send you back to the palace first, at least there is the emperor's protection, and the slave and maid stay here, the master can rest assured, the slave and the maid will do things well." Leng Yue said with a serious face.

"No, I'm in danger, isn't it dangerous for you to keep it? All human lives are equal, there is no distinction between high and low, but we play different roles. Chu Lixue said lightly.

Chu Lixue's grandmother in modern times is a very devout Buddhist, who will get up early every day, and then kneel in front of the Bodhisattva to chant incense and sutras, and will only eat breakfast after being busy and go out for a walk to buy vegetables. My grandmother often told herself that all beings are equal, regardless of whether they are high or low.

At that time, she was still young and did not understand what her grandmother meant, because she had grown up in a wealthy family since she was a child, and her friends were also some Kochi families or partners in her parents' business. When she was young, she always thought that everyone in the world was the same as herself.

When she gradually became sensible and grew up, she learned from books, TV and other media that there are still some people in this world who are not enough to eat and wear.

I remember that it was when Ling Qingya was three years old, and there were always all kinds of strange questions every day.

"Grandma, you always say that the Buddha said that all living beings are equal, and the Tao is divided into three, six, nine, and so on, since they are all equal, why do people have rich and poor, some people have no worries about food and clothing since childhood, but some people can't even eat?"

"Hehe, my Ya'er is a good child, the Buddha said, all beings are equal, and the Tao is divided into three, six, nine and so on. It is to tell us that the Buddha abandons this life and cultivates good fortune in the next life. And the Tao only cultivates this life, and abandons the next life. Therefore, as long as the nature is equal, everything is at peace with the heart. That is, to have equanimity. It's just that some people divide the Buddha into three, six, and nine in their minds, not that the Buddha has three or six or nine levels. Got it? Grandma touched Ling Qingya's head and said.

A few days before she came into this world, she pestered her grandmother and made her mille-feuille cakes to eat. didn't expect that she would come to this world, and it was precisely because of her grandmother's earnest teachings that she made so many good friends in this world.

"Master......" Yi'an looked at Chu Lixue with tears in her eyes, but Chu Lixue was shocked now, she didn't seem to say anything, why did Yi'an look like this?

"Yi'an, what's wrong with you?" Chu Lixue wondered.

"Master, you are really a good person, the slave has been drifting on the rivers and lakes for so long, and no one has ever cared about my thoughts. The master treats us very well on weekdays, and we are used to being neither big nor small, but now the master says that everyone is equal, which is really ......"

Hearing this, Chu Lixue realized that the girl Yi'an was emotional, "You girl, you have become sentimental, now is not the time for you to be sentimental, go to the well to fetch a bucket of water first, and if you don't drink some water, I will die of thirst." Chu Lixue said with a smile.

Since there is a problem with the water in the tank, it is necessary to check whether there is anything wrong with the tank. Yi'an carefully checked the water from the well and made sure that there was no problem, so he set up a small charcoal stove in the yard to boil water.

Chu Lixue was going to check it carefully in the kitchen, there must be something she didn't notice, just like someone who wanted to find her mobile phone, but the mobile phone was placed in front of her eyes, but she ignored it again and again, which is why the light was dark.

Chu Lixue checked everything else, including every spice jar, to make sure that there was really no problem, so she put her mind at ease. In the end, Chu Lixue still set her eyes on the water tank in the corner.

There is nothing special about the water tank, but the wooden lid covered on it is a little special, Chu Lixue stepped forward to pick up the wooden cover, the inside of the wooden cover has been soaked with water for many years, and there are several gaps of different widths on the wooden cover, and there is a layer of white substance in these gaps, Chu Lixue reached out and touched the white substance, which was a little sticky, put it under her nose and smelled it, there was a faint greasy smell.

It's butter, this is the lid of the water tank, how can there be butter coated on the inside of this lid, if you accidentally rub it on, it will naturally not be so even, if you want to use butter to plug the gap on the wooden lid, then it is better to change it to a new one, if you let the water stain the taste of butter. It can also affect the taste of other dishes.

Just as Chu Lixue was about to put the lid back in its place, some white powder flowed out from the gap in the lid. When the water is full, there is butter sealed, and the poison naturally does not flow out, and when the water is halfway used, the kitchen is hot, and the butter will naturally melt, and the poison will flow into the water tank unconsciously.

"Chef Wang, who is responsible for taking care of the water tank in the kitchen on weekdays?" Chu Lixue said softly.

Although this Chef Wang didn't know Chu Lixue's true identity, since his boss had already said that these three people were here to help, just answer him truthfully if he was told.

Originally, he looked at the three people who were soft and weak, and they didn't look like they were doing rough work, but he didn't expect that the two people in the yard were very neat in doing things, and even the heavy guy who fetched water was very skillful.

"Oh, this work of fetching water and chopping wood are all done by that cow." Chef Wang said loudly.

Maybe it's because the kitchen is busy, and you can only hear it clearly when you speak loudly, so this Chef Wang speaks so loudly.

"Ah Niu? So he can do things in the yard today? Chu Lixue said softly.

"Ah Niu, he hasn't come to do anything yet, he won't come until it's later." Chef Wang said with a smile.

Coming later? Could it be that this Ah Niu is still a temporary worker? Wait until no one in the kitchen is there? That's right, only this person will have the opportunity to do something on the lid of the water tank, it seems that he can only wait for that Ah Niu to appear, and then stare at him, it is best to come and get a stolen one.

Thinking of this, Chu Lixue said softly: "Chef Wang, when will Ah Niu come?" โ€

"I said, you're always asking what Ah Niu is doing? A Niu has a daughter-in-law, and his daughter-in-law is beautiful, so don't beat other people's ideas. Chef Wang said with a displeased face.

Hearing this, Yi An really stepped forward to teach this Chef Wang a good lesson, is his eyes blind? actually said that her master is not beautiful? Even if her master is a jingchai cloth skirt, she can hide her appearance, and she can't hide her temperament, "Chef Wang, what does my master ask you, you answer, what?" Have you forgotten what Boss Lin told you? Yi'an raised his voice.

Hearing Yi'an say this, Chef Wang lowered his head and muttered quietly, I don't know who these three are, there are two subordinates and a master, and they are all women, and they don't seem to be from the government, could it be that their boss invited them to investigate the poisoning?

Thinking of this, Chef Wang didn't think about it anymore, originally listening to Chu Lixue keep inquiring about Ah Niu, thinking that she had a crush on Ah Niu, and maybe she was looking for an excuse to come here to investigate the case, but when he thought about it, this Ah Niu is just an ordinary person, and he also relies on his strength to change his appetite for food, and it is not a fragrant dumpling, which provokes so many people to like it.

"Ah Niu is here to carry water and chop firewood, but he still has a paralyzed mother at home, his daughter-in-law still has a big belly, Ah Niu wants to go back to take care of his mother, so ah, during this time, the boss will let him go back to take care of his family, and when the guests are gone, he just needs to chop the firewood he needs every day and fill the water tank with water."

I see, it seems that this Ah Niu is still a filial son, and it is precisely because he is a filial son that he has the best chance of being used, thinking of this, Chu Lixue picked up the lids of several other water tanks and looked at them, the other lids were not seriously damaged, and there were no traces of butter being smeared on the lids, and the water in those water tanks was almost bottoming out.

In this way, it makes sense why some guests are poisoned, and some guests are not, because the dishes they eat are not from the same water tank, and today they found that there is also poison in the well, but the dose of poison is not much, even if it is used, it may not be killed on the spot, maybe it will not be poisoned until they return home, so it is even more unaware.

Sure enough, it's a good means, Chu Lixue really wants to applaud the person behind the scenes, how good it would be if such a person was his friend, but it backfired, the other party was not a friend or foe, they were the main generals of the two camps after all, so let's fight, whoever loses and who wins is superior.

"Leng Yue, you go clean up, let's go back." Chu Lixue said lightly.

After speaking, Chu Lixue got up and patted the soil on her clothes, and left the backyard with a step, Chef Wang watched the three of them leave, just shook his head, and went back to the kitchen to work.

After noon, the guests who should have eaten also went back, and today was very good, and there was no more poisoning, which also made Boss Lin feel relieved. As long as there are no more murders, his family will be safe.

Chu Lixue and his entourage did not really leave, but went to a place to play the piano and listen to music diagonally opposite Baiyun Tower, and this private room happened to have a full view of the backyard of Baiyun Tower.

Ah Niu walked into the backyard of Baiyunlou from the back door, took out some firewood from the corner of the wall, and began to split, during which he did not talk to anyone, and when he was busy with everything, and filled the water tank with all the water, he left through the back door in a hurry......
