Chapter 233: Poisoning

Qian Jun is a dignitary of the imperial court, and few people dared to provoke him before, so he never thought that if he couldn't be imposing, as a small person, how to use other factors to win, Wen Jin's performance today made him suddenly wake up to the fact that the power of the masses is so huge, and if it is used properly, it is also a sharp weapon. Next, he fanned the flames in the crowd, and the magistrate of Dongcheng County, Nangang City, had no way to shield it, surrounded by nearly 10,000 people, waiting to hear the news, he had to interrogate in court, and sentenced Fu Biao's brothers to return Fu Chengwa's hotel and house, and distribute it to the army, and the Yao family and a group of thugs each had 20 sticks, detained for ten days, and paraded through the streets.

In order to make this case an iron case, Qian Jun instigated the people to shout "Qingtian!" on the spot. He also invited an old Xiucai who wrote letters on his behalf, wrote a letter to the people, and sent it to the prefect's yamen, asking him to tell Shangfeng and commend the magistrate of Dongcheng.

Liang Bangwen, the magistrate of the county, couldn't pour out the bitter water in his stomach, if this article of the people was sent to the capital and let Yao Guangyuan see it, his official would not want to be an official, but it was difficult for him to ride a tiger, what could he do? Since he came to Nangang City, he has been a little struck up with the Yao family, from repairing bridges to paving roads, hating to squeeze out the people, winning Yao Guangyuan's trust, all his efforts have been burned, and seeing that he is still going to make enemies with the Yao family, he is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, turning around, or the master's words to make him feel at ease: "The prefect is also a successful person, how can he deliver such a thing to Shangtang?" ”

The magistrate thought about it, isn't that the case, who in Nangang City dares to say the Yao family a "no"? When this matter comes out, the prefect is afraid that he will try to hide it as much as possible, and will never poke it out easily, so he can barely feel at ease.

The prefect of Nangang City really thought of going together with Liang Bangwen's master, he patted his chest and assured the people who sent Wanmin that he would definitely bring their hearts to heaven, and when he turned around, he quietly suppressed the case, and informed the Yao family that after this limelight, the Fu brothers would be released, but asked these two people not to appear in Nangang City for three or two years, to avoid the limelight for the time being, the Yao family was just fighting for a breath, so they would not care about the Fu Biao brothers, so they naturally agreed.

The matter passed like this, Fu Chengwa's family returned to their home, cleaned and painted the small restaurant well, cleaned it up, and reopened it with the help of neighbors.

Qian Jun and Wen Jin's family also continued to live a carefree life.

But the Yao family is restless, the so-called one mountain does not allow two tigers, and how can others be allowed to snore next to the couch? The second master of the Yao family, Yao Guangyuan's second brother Yao Zhiyuan, felt that Qian Jun would never be an ordinary businessman, lest he was sent by the opponent of the big brother in the capital to find trouble, so he wrote the matter into the letter in detail, and even did not let go of Qian Jun's appearance, bearing, means, and deeds, and asked the staff of the family to draw a small portrait and send someone to send it to the capital by boat.

As soon as Yao Guangyuan heard the surname Qian, his heart was furious, holding the portrait, the more he looked at it, the more he looked like Qian Jun, his first thought, thought that Qian Jun pretended to be missing, and it was sent by Emperor Yongchang to investigate the officials and people in various places, and he was scared in a cold sweat at that time, and he trembled when he saw the emperor the next day, but Emperor Yongchang did not have any abnormalities, Yao Guangyuan returned home from the court, and suddenly woke up to Qian Jun's exile among the people, not the emperor's arrangement, but his own intention.

Yao Guangyuan still remembered that Qian Jun disappeared for the eldest lady of the Xiao family, Prince Ren resolutely opposed this family business, and he was not married, and the father and son were in dispute, and everyone in the capital knew about it at that time. He disappeared suddenly, not only Prince Ren, who was a father, has been in a slump since then, but even Shen Mingxi, who was an uncle, had gray hair, but Shen Mingzhao, as an uncle, didn't seem to have changed much, and still stood firmly in the first position in the court, calm and persevering, why is the same uncle, the difference is so big? Now, Qian Jun is not dead, and the answer is clear at once,β€”β€” Qian Jun is fake missing and pretending to be dead.

As soon as this thought came to Yao Guangyuan's mind, all the doubts in his heart were solved, Shen Mingxi was a man of temperament, and he definitely didn't know it in advance, but Shen Mingzhao was manipulating all this, Qian Jun took retreat as advance, successfully married the eldest lady of the Xiao family, and quietly sneaked to Nangang City, he was almost put down, this means, this strategy, Yao Guangyuan thought that he was really clever, too clever, he broke his head, and he couldn't think of it.

In order to be safe, Yao Guangyuan tried in front of the emperor a few more times, and made sure that Qian Jun was not sent by Emperor Yongchang, who liked intrigue and trickery the most, and he thought about it in his heart - Shen Mingzhao, Shen Mingzhao, I didn't expect that you always pretend to be sanctimonious on weekdays, and you always act as if you were above board, comparing me to always look dirty and despicable, and I can't get on the stage, even the emperor said several times in front of me, "When did you have the bearing and mind of a scholar Shen!" ”

- It turns out that you are a thousand times more despicable and filthy than me, and you have come up with such a despicable method, although you helped your nephew marry the woman of your heart, and now you almost brought me down, but how many people have you harmed with this scheme? Not to mention Prince Ren, he was more than ten years old all of a sudden, and he didn't even care about the affairs of the court, not to mention Shen Mingxi, a person in his early thirties, his hair was all white all of a sudden, and even the Queen Mother and the emperor were sad and blamed themselves for Qian Jun's disappearance.

- Hmph, Shen Mingzhao, Shen Mingzhao, your trick is too damaging, just to satisfy your own selfish desires, you put so many people in pain, no matter how stingy I, Yao Guangyuan, have never done such a damaging thing.

Yao Guangyuan thought of this, and began to think in his heart about how to uncover this matter, so that Shen Mingzhao's "ugly face" would be exposed to the public and in front of the emperor.

"Hahaha, from now on, I want to see what kind of face you Shen Mingzhao still have to stand on top of the court and pose as a leader of Wenchen!"

Yao Guangyuan seemed to see his bright future in the future, and couldn't help laughing, and the entourage who was serving him was so frightened that he rashly pushed open the door, and looked at him scrutinically, to make sure that his master was crazy because he had lost his mind.

"Look at what, get out!" Yao Guangyuan is a villain, and he naturally has a clear insight into this kind of villain's thinking, he waved his hand unhappily and drove the servant out, only then did he think about what kind of means should be used, not only not to hurt himself, but also to uncover the "double reed" show staged by Shen Mingzhao and Qian Jun.

For the sake of his position as a powerful minister above 10,000 people under this person, he has been treating Shen Mingzhao as a fierce opponent for the past few years, and now, he feels that the final decisive battle with Shen Mingzhao has come, either to overwhelm Shen Mingzhao, or to withdraw from the court forever.

The so-called belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, Shen Mingzhao didn't look down on Yao Guangyuan's tricks at all, but Yao Guangyuan was his enemy everywhere, for example, in the treatment of northern Xinjiang affairs, last year, Shen Mingzhao was uncompromising, and was the most resolute main battle faction, Yao Guangyuan believed that it was Shen Mingzhao's people who were both the military department and the household department, and he did so, naturally to expand his power, and now, within the northern Tartars, there was a split, and the cousins fought to the death, Shen Mingzhao changed his mind again, advocating support for the weaker one, Strike another and try to solve the problem peacefully, Yao Guangyuan also changed his mind, he thought that he should take the opportunity to fight, like the Western Xinjiang, to beat the Tartar and lay down, and solve the problem once and for all.

He didn't mean to go against Shen Mingzhao, but because the youngest daughter of the military department Shangshu married his hardcore supporter, the second son of Dali Siqing, and became a person in his camp, if he wants to fight, the power of the military department will be greatly increased, and his power will also increase, he thinks that Shen Mingzhao changed his mind because of this, seeing him put on a posture of putting state affairs first, he often despises him very much in his heart, and feels that Shen Mingzhao is a big liar.

To deal with Shen Mingzhao, Qian Jun of Nangang City can't let it go, this person's ability, he is clear, maybe he just started to act in the capital, Qian Jun will make trouble in Nangang City, and he Yao Guangyuan will be finished. His two younger brothers are in Nangang City, it is absolutely impossible to be so innocent, if they want to find faults, there are pigtails everywhere to catch, he doesn't know where Qian Jun's pace is, but as long as he goes to Nangang City, as long as he tries to inquire about his Yao family, it is impossible not to gain anything.

Yao Guangyuan really didn't trust the two younger brothers, their abilities were too different from Qian Jun, so he sent his master Zhang Mao, who was useful by his side, over.

- It is the ripening season of lychees, Wen Jin and the children are very fond of fruits, as if they know that their family likes this mouthful, there are hawkers at the door every day to sell, this era is still honest people, when the servants of the Qian family come out to buy, do not make a price, give money and happy, the hawker in order to let people look at their goods, as much as possible to pick up the good lychee to bring over, there is a seller of lychees, take the variety of cinnamon, delicious, but not big, one day no one happened to sell lychees, just him, so that the cook Sister-in-law is very embarrassed, She is a local, of course she knows that this is delicious, but she is afraid that the owner will not even taste it, so he reprimands her, which is too wrong.

Because eating lychees every day, it is particularly easy to catch fire, Wen Jin hired this new chef, who is responsible for buying local aquatic products and fruits, and making soup for the family.

Qian Jun didn't like to eat fruits very much, nor did he like seafood, but every time he saw his daughter-in-law and son around the fruit plate, putting the lychees as white and crystal as white as ice and snow into his mouth, and then squinting his eyes slightly, he couldn't help but eat a few bites with him.

Seeing that Sister-in-law Xiang was a little embarrassed to serve the washed lychee, Wen Jin was still a little puzzled about how she had that expression, but this glance made Sister-in-law Xiang even more nervous to the point of sweating: "Madam, this lychee is also delicious, but it is not big, and there are few people here today, just this one." ”

It turned out to be a small kernel cinnamon flavor, Wen Jin was very satisfied: "I don't understand this, if you think it's good, you can buy it, as long as you don't deliberately fool me." ”

Sister-in-law Xiang was very happy to see that Mrs. was so reasonable, and hurriedly promised: "I will carefully select and will not disappoint my wife." ”

Wen Jin saw that she was diligent and polite, and let Chunming reward a dime of silver, which was enough for two points, and Sister-in-law Xiang was overjoyed, and she was even more careful in the following days.

The lychee fruit period is more than a month, and when the tail is swept, the longan is on the market, although it is not as delicious as the lychee, but it is more nutritious, and Wen Jin did not buy less.

On this day, someone was selling at the door, and Sister-in-law Xiang came out to buy it again: "Sister-in-law, my longan has just been picked, and it is the freshest." "The hawker was warm and authentic.

Sister-in-law Xiang saw that the longan was big and regular, so she bought two catties and took it in.

Although there is no pollution in this era, Nangang City is humid and rainy, the air is fresh, and there is almost no dust on the fruits, Wen Jin still asked Xiang's sister-in-law to wash it twice and then serve it, Xiang's sister-in-law is a real woman, the salary given by the owner's wife is good, and she is also kind, she is never lazy, let her do anything, she will do anything, she put down the longan, turned around to fetch water, and the rough mother-in-law Zhang Mama who washed the vegetables next to her reached out and grabbed a handful. This is the servant Wen Jin bought in Nanlin Mansion, and the work is very neat, but she is a little greedy, and Sister-in-law Xiang is a newcomer, so she didn't dare to mess with her, so she had to pretend that she didn't see it.

Sister-in-law Xiang washed the longan and put it in a bamboo basket to drain the water, she was just about to carry the dirty water and prepare to pour it into the drainage ditch, when she saw Zhang's mother holding her stomach: "Alas, alas!" ”

Sister-in-law Xiang hurriedly put down the basin: "Mom Zhang, what's wrong with you?" She stretched out her hand to help her go to a toilet outside the kitchen courtyard, but Zhang's mother couldn't help it, her body fell down calmly, and she vomited white foam in her mouth.

Sister-in-law Xiang was frightened and shouted, "Come onβ€”"

The grandmother in charge of the kitchen was brought by Wen Jin from the Xiao family, and she was very bold in doing things, she sent someone to report to Wen Jin, and asked the outer courtyard to hurry up and ask for a doctor, but unfortunately before the doctor arrived, Zhang's mother died.

Chunming reported to Wen Jin with a panicked face: "The doctor said that Mother Zhang was poisoned to death, and the master locked up all the people in the kitchen and is interrogating." ”

Wen Jin was playing with her son, and her heart sank suddenly when she heard the words, was it a coincidence or was it aimed at her family? It was about the kitchen, and she naturally attached great importance to it, so she asked Xia Yang to guard here, and the two nurses to take care of the children, and she took Chunming over to take a look.

Qian Jun had already asked the people again, but found no problem, the official work had not yet arrived, and the things in the kitchen were just like that, Wen Jin stood outside and watched, listening to the results of Qian Jun's interrogation.

"Mama Zhang ate with everyone in the morning, there was no problem, and no one else even had a stomachache."

"Mother Zhang is greedy, did you steal anything unclean?" Wen Jin said on his lips, but he felt that this was impossible, now there are no pesticides, and they haven't bought mushrooms that may be poisonous, but they accidentally ate what should not be mixed together, and they can't just be so fast, and the bleeding from the mouth and nose is obviously highly toxic.

Qian Jun was stunned: "Zhang's mother is greedy? He turned around and went to ask the people in the kitchen, Wen Jin followed, Sister-in-law Xiang was very afraid of Qian Jun, seeing Wen Jin, she seemed to be bolder, and cried: "Mother Zhang grabbed a handful of longan and ate it, I won't let her eat it, but I can't control it." ”

"Dragon's eye? Is there a problem with this? Qian Jun subconsciously asked, he ate these at home every day, and he intuitively felt that there would be no problem, but as he spoke, he and Wen Jin glanced at each other, and both of them turned pale - if someone outside wants to harm them, as long as they investigate a little, they will definitely start from this aspect, who will pay attention to a fruit seller? When they sell the poisonous fruit here, they turn around and blend into the vast sea of people, even if they want to find it, it is as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack.

Wen Jin was about to ask people to check those dragon eyes, when a message came in from the porter, saying that the official had arrived.

The person who came turned out to be the head of the official who was handling things at the door that day, and the official position was a catcher, and he brought four catchers and a puppet, and he was going to take everyone away as soon as he came up.

Wang Jie, who was standing behind Qian Jun, hurriedly walked over, as if he accidentally touched him, and just when the two of them were wrong, a silver ingot of five taels was stuffed in his hand, and the head catcher turned his palm, put the silver into his sleeve, and his tense face had a smile.

"It happened in the kitchen, there is no one in this courtyard, all here, Lord Shangguan, please!" Wang Jie let the head catcher into the house, Wen Jin and Qian Jun stood in the courtyard, and in less than two quarters of an hour, the head catcher came out and went straight to the kitchen.

He had already checked Zhang's mother's body, and at this time he also ran to the kitchen, he looked around, sniffed left and right with his nose, and finally, together with the head catcher, stood in front of the basket with the dragon's eye.

He took a silver pin and stirred it in the basin of water for washing longan, and the pin immediately turned black: "It's that there is something wrong with this longan-"

At this moment, Sister-in-law Xiang suddenly shouted a headache, and then fell to the ground, the doctor had not left, recognized it as a snake venom, and gave Sister-in-law Xiang the pill she brought with her, and Sister-in-law Xiang came to her senses in more than an hour.

The thing is obvious, that is, the longan seller did his hands and feet, Xiangsao because of cleaning, venom from the cracks on the hand into the human body, because of less poisoning, so the onset of the disease is slow, coupled with timely rescue, only to save a life, Zhang Ma directly grabbed a handful of longan when it was not cleaned, and the hand was stained with poison when peeling, and then took the peeled longan entrance, so there was a lot of poison eaten, and the onset was fast, and it was too late to treat it.

It is a person who can make such a judgment, the head catcher actually wants to take away all the Qian family, together with the basket of dragon eyes, Wang Jie took out the silver and hoped that he would give it a convenience, but this guy refused to be accommodating. "Someone is targeting us." Wen Jin said angrily, the two of them have no quarrel with the world here, and they really can't think of anyone who is in the way. "The Yao family, only the Yao family can explain it." Qian Jun said very sensitively, "They are used to being the king and hegemon in Nangang City, although we only punished the son of a nurse last time, not even the Yao family, but they still feel that they have lost face and want to uproot our family ruthlessly." ”
