Chapter 313: Steamed Pork Ribs with Tempeh (3)

"When did this stomach trouble start, because I didn't pay attention to it, it's hard to check, but this intermittent thing is obviously good, but it started again in just a few days, which is really incomprehensible." Wei Fu said, "Coincidentally, there is a man in the neighborhood who has a stomach problem with him who has an urgent matter to go to the nearby Xianyang for a few days, and he hurried on the road when he was in a hurry, and he came back two days later. ”

Because of the suspicion of the problem of eating in the bazaar, the neighbors almost did not eat anything in the bazaar these days, and all they ate was porridge boiled with rice at home, and this stored grain was planted by the old father and mother in Xianyang.

So...... The only problem is water, but how can there be a problem with this water? It is not strange that a family has been drugged in a well, but many people in Chang'an City have been recruited, that is, the powerful and wealthy families who have guards patrolling day and night will also be recruited.

What kind of drug thief has such a powerful ability to attack the people of the whole city?

"It's true that there are thieves, but the thieves didn't drug themselves," Wei Fu smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "It's not others who are drugged, it's the people themselves." ”

After a small-scale epidemic caused by the unclean water in the well a few years ago, the government has always attached great importance to this, and every few months it will go door to door to distribute vermilia leaves, realgar, alum and other substances into the well water to keep the well water clean.

"Some time ago, the Japanese government happened to distribute a batch of water purification items," Wei Fu said, "and sent them to the door to door for the people to clean their own water." ”

"It seems that my family lost the alum and other things that purified the water in the well water in the backyard before they had a stomach upset," Wei Fu said here, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Although the water purification is stained with medicine, because of the large amount of water in the well and the shallow amount of medicine, even if everything eaten in one day comes from the water in the well, it will not cause any major incidents." It seems that I spend most of the day in the yamen, and I can barely notice anything when I have only drunk a few cups of tea at home. ”

So...... Some of the things that seemed strange at first were explained.

"The people had a stomach upset, and the doctor prescribed medicine, because they suspected that they had eaten something bad, so they were more careful about the things in the mouth, while checking and being careful of those who were eating, while ......" Wei Fu said this, helped his forehead, sighed, and said, "While throwing more pure water into the well water, it is ...... The laxatives that had been removed from the well increased again, and so on and so on, and the cycle continued, and the stomach troubles continued intermittently, without stopping! ”

Therefore, the people suspected that the water was unclean, so they tried to purify it, but they did not know that the real source was in the clean water distributed by the government.

After finding the source, it was simple, Wei Fu no longer asked his family to throw clean water into the well water, and sure enough, he didn't have any more stomach trouble since last night.

So...... Wei Fu put away the water purification things distributed by the government at home, and prepared to send them to Dali Temple to find someone to check another day, and on the other hand, he checked the person who distributed the water purification things.

"The people who send the water purification to the hands of the house are all the servants of the government and the people of Lizheng, there are too many and miscellaneous, and there are people from all walks of life who have trouble with their stomachs, and they must buy them all, when it is impossible." Wei Fu said, "So, I think most of the problem lies in the source of this thing. ”

"The water purification things distributed by the government yamen to the people are provided by the internal affairs yamen," Wei Fu said, looking at Liu Yuan and the others whose faces changed slightly, and nodded, his tone was subtle, "It's the internal affairs yamen again." ”

There seems to be a faint hand that fuses two eucalyptus pieces that originally seemed to be unrelated.

"I heard that the person in charge of this matter is a steward surnamed Niu from the Internal Affairs Yamen, so I went over to pay a visit," Wei Fu said, looking at everyone, his face slightly condensed, "Unfortunately, I heard that some time ago, this Niu steward had something to do and returned to his hometown. ”

So coincidentally? One of the housekeepers involved committed suicide, and a cow steward took leave and returned to his hometown?

The perennial experience of doing eucalyptus makes Wei Fu know that there must be something strange about this matter, but the matter of the cow steward is not like the general steward of Mao, there is Feng Tong's corpse and the confession of the old city order, and the people of the yamen can be directly let go over, and everything needs to be checked by those things that purify the water before the yamen of Dali Temple can make a move.

Although he can't let the Yamen of Dali Temple make a move, but this trip can't run in vain, Wei Fu spent a lot of money to do some miscellaneous servants of the internal affairs yamen, and those miscellaneous servants actually brought him directly into the courtyard where the cow steward lived.

The two stewards of the internal affairs yamen were divided into a courtyard, but the cow steward was one person, not because the cow steward was so powerful, but because the "residents" who lived with him had moved out.

When he heard this, Wei Fu's heart jumped, and a subtle feeling arose, and he immediately opened his mouth to ask who the "residents" who were the miscellaneous cattle stewards were, and sure enough, when he heard the name of the "residents", Wei Fu's heart suddenly froze.

Hearing Wei Fu say this, when he saw the expression on Wei Fu's face again, Liu Yuan, who couldn't bear it the most, immediately blurted out: "That resident is none other than the dead Mao steward, right?" ”

Wei Fu nodded, looked at the expression of "sure enough" on Lin Fei and Bai Zhu's faces on the side, and said again: "Hearing this, how dare I hesitate, lest I not go in this time to take a look, and next time I go in again, I am afraid that the house will have a different situation, so naturally I immediately gave the silver money to the handyman, and went into the cattle steward's house to take a look." ”

When he said the sentence "I'm afraid I'll have to change the scene in the house next time", Liu Yuan couldn't help but snort coldly.

The death of the Mao steward is so strange, Lao Wei's worry may not be true.

"The cow steward's house is very clean, and the money and the clothes he wears every day have been taken away, but the bed quilts and the like are still stacked in the house in a regular manner, which is very consistent with 'returning to the hometown to visit relatives'." Wei Fu said, "Look at the furnishings in the house are clean and tidy, this cow steward should be a very orderly person, this is also confirmed from the mouth of the handyman, and this cow steward heard that he doesn't like people to help him clean the house, most of the things in the house are cleaned up by himself, even if he occasionally lets people do it, he will also watch from the sidelines, meticulous and cautious." ”

Such a meticulous and cautious person, the spotless man who cleaned up in the house left something in the house.

Wei Fu pointed to the charcoal basin in front of Lin Fei that had a lot of remnants of ashes, and said, "This is what was left in the cow steward's house." ”
