Chapter 158: The Order of Banning Commerce, the Prince Makes Trouble!
The prince's next words revealed his fox tail.
And let Xiang Yan be sure that tonight's incident is most likely caused by His Royal Highness the Prince!
"But Erchen believes that although this is not a poisoning incident, could it be a food safety problem caused by an inferior product?"
"It is naturally impossible for the Xiang family to poison the tribute wine to Ouchi."
"But is it possible that a bad product was mistakenly mistaken for a good product and sent to the palace?"
"Could it be that they used inferior raw materials to make wine, and the moldy raw materials carried poisons, which then went to the wine, and finally were drunk by the courtiers at today's banquet, and then caused severe pain in the abdomen?"
"If it weren't for today's incident, if these wines were not drunk by the ministers, is it possible that they would be drunk by my father one day in the future?"
"At that time, it will not be the ministers who will have abdominal pain, but you, the father!"
"The right minister is a pillar of the country, but he keeps his family busy with business."
"For the sake of profit, businessmen are short of catties and two, and it is common for them to use lower positions to replace raw materials."
"But now it involves royal tribute, which endangers the health of the royal family. It's shocking to be so frustrated! ”
"The matter has come to this point, it is really a hundred thousand urgent momentum, and we must not wait any longer."
"Please order from my father that officials are not allowed to do business from now on, so as to maintain the purity and safety of the imperial court!"
If Xiang Guozhong would poison Zhao Longji, no matter how stupid people in the world are, no one will believe it.
But if you lead the problem to inferior goods.
Combined with Xiang Guozhong's personality, it will become decent.
After all, Xiang Guozhong's image of a corrupt official is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Zhao Longji and the ministers looked at Xiang Guozhong's eyes and began to look wrong.
"Impossible!"
The person who spoke out to defend was not Xiang Guozhong, but Xiang Yan.
"The tribute liquor to the palace is made by distillation, and the production of this piece has always been personally grasped by me, and the grain used for brewing is all refined grain that I strictly control, how can it be involved with my father?"
"There can't be a problem with our Xiang family's wine."
"Whether or not this wine is produced by my family is debatable."
"Oh?" Zhao Longji accosted, "What do you say?" ”
Xiang Yan said:
"Whether it's my wine or not, we'll find out as soon as we check it!"
"The wine on the tables here is the one that came up from the beginning."
"A few adults over there drank wine with abdominal pain, and it was the one who came up later."
"Once you check the wine on both sides, you can naturally know if it is from the same manufacturer."
"My wine is unrivaled in the whole Great Zhou, and the degree is much higher than all other wineries."
"And this kind of wine is only produced by me, and no one else can even imitate it."
"If the alcohol on both sides is almost the same, it means that it is my wine."
"If the alcohol on both sides is very different, and the wine on one side obviously does not meet my family's standards, it means that someone has labeled my wine and passed it off!"
"This is a naked frame-up!"
Since Xiang Yan said so, Zhao Longji naturally allowed him to verify his innocence.
And Xiang Yan is also to prove herself, so she doesn't do it herself.
Instead, he asked a few neutral officials from the DPRK to test on his behalf.
Xiang Yan taught them the method of verification, and then they came up with the results.
Because alcohol is a volatile substance, it can also be measured by fire, where the liquor is poured into a container, the initial amount is measured once, and then the container is heated.
After a period of time, measure the content of the remaining liquid in the container, pay attention to the heating time can not be too long, otherwise the water will also evaporate, compare the content of the initial liquid with the content of the remaining liquid, the greater the difference, the higher the alcohol content, but generally in the range of 3-70°.
After such an inspection, it was found that the batch of wine in question was very low and did not meet the standards of Xiangjia Distillery.
Then the meaning of framing is obvious.
And who will frame Xiang Yan......
Just killed so many people in Jiangnan, who would frame Xiang Yan can figure it out with his ass!
It was also at this time that Colliers came back in a hurry.
But it brought bad news:
Today, the eunuchs in the imperial dining room who are in charge of transporting wine, as well as the palace maids of the Guifei Palace, all committed suicide in fear of sin!
directly came to a death without proof, so that Zhao Longji had nothing to check.
But at this point, the immortality of those eunuchs and palace maids actually has little impact.
After all, it's all come to this point, and smart people can see what's going on.
Zhao Longji is naturally no exception.
Now that the truth has been revealed, the deaths of those palace maids and eunuchs cannot be said to be good or bad.
The good thing is that there is a room for everyone to not have to tear their faces.
Moreover, this incident still happened in the palace, involving the royal face, and it should not be big.
Zhao Longji made a non-salty treatment:
"Since this is the case, then this matter will be investigated by Gao Lishi, if you find out who is behind the scenes, you must be severely punished!"
There was no time frame for the closure of the case, nor did it say what the penalty would be if it could not be found.
And everyone knows this.
So naturally there will be no results.
This can be regarded as Zhao Longji's peace of mind.
However, since he ordered Colliers to investigate, it can be regarded as planting a time bomb.
Maybe one day in the future, the old things will be brought up again.
This can be regarded as a warning to the Maison.
Warn them to do it again next time.
Then it is likely that the new account and the old account will be counted together!
After the matter was dealt with like this, the banquet was also dissolved.
After receiving Zhao Longji's consent, the ministers began to leave the palace and prepare to go home.
Xiang Yan was mixed in the flow of people, and she also planned to go back with Xiang Guozhong.
It's a pity that I was interrupted by so many things today, and I haven't had time to say a few words to Xiang Yuhuan.
During the time she left, this sister-in-law must have missed Xiang Yan very much.
Xiang Yan didn't take a few steps, but was suddenly stopped by a eunuch.
Take a closer look, it turns out to be Zhao Longji's other personal eunuch Wang Fuguo.
Xiang Yan greeted politely:
"What is the matter with the king's chamberlain?"
Wang Fuguo smiled heartily, as if he was also happy for Xiang Yan:
"Lord Donggong Shilang, long live the lord let me send you a message to invite you to stay in the palace tonight!"
Xiang Yan was stunned after hearing this.
Allow yourself to stay in the palace?
Could it be that the banquet was interrupted and he was not finished, so let himself accompany him for another second half?
But I have to go to work tomorrow, so I'm busy, how can I have this spare time and an old man staying up late.
Besides, a hangover is not good for your health.
