Chapter 148: Recipe Lost
The master stared at Zhang Xuehai with complicated eyes, and sighed in his heart for a long time.
The man who was fine yesterday morning has now turned into a dead body.
Sure enough, people can't do too much evil, and if they violate the conscience of heaven, they will definitely be punished.
"My lord, what should I do now that this man is dead?"
Master stood up and asked in a low voice.
What to do?
Where could the county order have thought that he would have the kung fu to sleep by himself, so Song Wan could still have such a ability, and let the maid poison Zhang Xuehai to death.
Now it's troublesome.
I knew that I shouldn't have been soft-hearted, I should have immersed that woman in a pig cage and then sunk into the river, so that there would be no accidents tonight.
The county commander rubbed the corners of his forehead irritably, and said, "Let people ***, don't spread the news of Zhang Xuehai's death for the time being, so as not to cause chaos."
"Yes. What are we going to do with this corpse?"
"Can't you think about what to do with yourself? If you have to worry about everything, what is the use of you!"
"My subordinates are incompetent, please forgive me."
The county magistrate couldn't help but sprinkle the fire on the master's body, but what really annoyed him was that Zhang Xuehai died so suddenly, what should I do with the formula for brown sugar decolorization?
Previously, because he trusted Zhang Xuehai too much, he not only handed over the sugar workshop to him to manage, but even gave him the brown sugar decolorization recipe that he asked for from Ye Zhen, so that he could study it as soon as possible.
Not only that, but the recipe itself has not been backed up.
Now that Ye Zhen is relying on Fu Ru'an, he is no longer the stranger he can bully, and Zhang Xuehai doesn't know where he hid the brown sugar decolorization formula.
It's up to you to do it!
Zhang Xuehai, who killed a thousand knives, disgusted him when he was alive, and it was so bad to die when he died.
Poisoning him with a bottle of poison is really cheap for him!
At this moment, the county commander felt nameless anger burning in his chest again, and he couldn't help but raise his foot and kick Zhang Xuehai's corpse angrily a few times.
This move shocked the master, and hurriedly persuaded:
"My lord, Zhang Xuehai is dead, the deceased is the greatest, you can't do such a rude act again."
The county commander also knew that he was out of shape, so he could only hold his chest and scold:
"This brute trusts me so much, brute!"
After scolding, he thought about it, and then ordered the two remaining entourages around him to take advantage of the night to quickly send Zhang Xuehai to Yizhuang, and ruined his appearance, so as not to be recognized.
When he got out of the prison and saw that there was no one around, the county commander hooked his hand to the master again.
The master understood and listened with his ears.
"You take someone to Zhang's house tomorrow to search for another wave, don't make a noise about this matter, but be sure to find out the brown sugar decolorization method."
"Humble duty understands."
At this moment, the Zhang family is shrouded in a strange atmosphere.
It stands to reason that the family has been turned upside down like this, and the Zhang family should work together to find a way to solve the problem, but the people in the second room don't think so at the moment.
Now that the big house has lost its momentum, but their second room is still good, Zhang Siyue and a few relatives in the second room stayed up all night, and discussed around the round table for a long time how to distribute the remaining properties of the Zhang family.
Although they were a little frightened by today's sudden raid, and sent someone out to find out the news, they were more excited when they thought that if they could be a proprietor in the second room in the future.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man who looked a little old pushed the door and walked in, with a look of embarrassment:
"I just asked, saying that Zhang Xuehai made a big mistake!"
As soon as they heard this, everyone immediately became refreshed.
"What? Something happened to the head of the house? What about those people in the big house, why haven't they come back yet?"
The middle-aged man sat down on the chair and waved his hand again and again:
"Don't talk about it, they're all implicated, and I heard that they're all in prison now!"
As soon as she said this, Zhang Siyue immediately became anxious and stood up.
"What should I do? My husband just went to the sugar factory a few days ago to get a job, why did this cousin have an accident? Will my husband be implicated?"
Someone on the side sneered and joked:
"Just your useless husband? Forget it, at most, I'll be kicked out in a few days."
"Why do you talk like that?"
Zhang Siyue scolded in annoyance.
"Am I wrong?"
The man fought back mercilessly.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, one of them hurriedly became a peacemaker.
"Okay, okay, don't argue, the first thing is to think about what we should do? By the way, what crime did Zhang Xuehai commit, and all the big houses that could be involved were arrested?"
Hearing that something happened to Zhang Xuehai, they didn't even bother to call the head of the family.
The man who inquired sneered sarcastically.
"Harm, shame. Zhang Xuehai, that little bastard, actually colluded with the wife of the county magistrate, and I heard that he was caught by the county magistrate on the spot!"
"What? How dare he do such an ugly thing?"
The second room of the Zhang family was shocked, no one could have imagined that the sanctimonious Zhang Xuehai could do this kind of immoral thing to seduce a married woman behind his back.
"No wonder my sister-in-law went back to the Song family a few days ago, what about the Song family?"
It was Zhang Xuehai's cousin who spoke.
"Seems to be fine."
"So what do we do?"
The cousin asked again.
"What to do? Who knows what to do, maybe our entire Zhang family will be unlucky this time!"
Zhang Siyue snorted coldly and sat down.
"Let's think about how to escape!"
The man who was against her also immediately scolded:
"How do you speak ill of you? Now that something has happened to the big house, and it's not our second room, won't this Zhang family be our decision in the future?"
This idea made everyone in the second room a little excited.
It's not a matter of a day or two that they have been bullied by the group of people in the big house, and now they have fallen all of a sudden, not to mention competition, this is simply their second room win....
Zhang Siyue mercilessly poured a bucket of cold water down.
"We have to escape this catastrophe first, and then let's talk about taking charge of the Zhang family. If the big house commits something too big, and we are unlucky together, the Zhang family is gone, what right do you have?"
"This ......"
Everyone present looked at each other and glared at Zhang Siyue in displeasure.
She was telling the truth, but it was a little hard to hear.
At this time, it was the peacemaker who said:
"Ming'er, let's send someone to buy the master, he has followed the county order for many years, and he must know the situation."
"yes, that's a good idea."
"So be it."
The second room of the Zhang family reached a consensus in this way.
But the next day, before the people of the Zhang family could make any moves, the master came to Zhang's mansion again with a group of officers and soldiers.
According to the requirements of the county order, the people led by the master this time are also the same officers and soldiers who raided Zhang's Mansion last time.
Originally, the county order only said that it was okay to send that team of people, but the master knew the importance of the formula, so he still chose to go in person.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Zhang's mansion, the noisy housekeeper hurriedly opened the door and went to report the news.
Last time, he kicked it a few times, and his old bones have only been recuperating for a day, so he can't be injured anymore, not to mention that the price increase is now a tree falling down, and he will report to the second room.
When the master walked into Zhang's mansion, there was no trace of vitality in it, and there was no previous prosperity.
It's deserted inside, with only fallen leaves and withered potted plants.
And the people in the second room heard the housekeeper report that the master was bringing troops again, and they were so frightened that they called a six gods without a master.
"What should I do, this can't be another raid, right? Are we going to be finished?"
"Zhang Xuehai, this
Bastard, you're going to kill us! I'm not done with him!"
Fortunately, someone was a little more bold and took the initiative to go to the front yard.
"Master, the county order has already copied Zhang's Mansion once last time, you see, this house has become like this, where is there anything to search."
The master glanced at him coldly and asked rhetorically:
"Do I need to explain to you what the official is doing?"
The man was glanced at and trembled even more.
"My lord, this, this is all the evil done by Dafang. You know, we've been bullied by them all the time, and it really has nothing to do with us. You, can you go back and help us intercede?"
Intercede?
Master only thinks they are ridiculous.
No wonder the second room has been bullied by the big house, it turns out that they are really stupid and cute.
How much crime did Zhang Xuehai commit, and they still wanted to be alone and let themselves intercede with them?
Dream on!
The master sneered and ignored what the man said.
"Search for me! Search Zhang's house inside and out, up and down, and let me do it again, and be sure to find what the county order wants!"
When the man heard that the house was going to be searched again, he sat down on the ground and began to cry.
"Why are you still searching, everything has been taken away by you, and I don't live anymore......
Immediately another officer and soldier stepped forward, grabbed him by the back collar and threw him aside, and then kicked him twice, and the man lay on the ground in pain with his stomach clutched, no longer noisy.
And after the master ordered everything, he immediately took a few henchmen to the Zhang family's secret room.
After the experience of the last search, the master easily entered the Zhang family's secret room.
"Search, every brick, every book, every corner for me!"
But no matter how those officers and soldiers searched in Zhang's house, even the water in the pond was emptied, and there was still no way to find the secret recipe.
And the master also found the partition in the secret room, but when he tried to open the opportunity, it was empty.
"W-how can this be?"
The master was also dumbfounded.
Could it be that Zhang Xuehai hid the secret recipe of brown sugar somewhere else in advance?
Or did he destroy the secret recipe?
No matter which one it is, Zhang Xuehai is now dead, and they have no way to verify.
After finding nothing, the master could only withdraw his troops.
After waiting for a few hours, the county commander saw the master come back and immediately stepped forward to ask.
With a bitter face, the master took out the small box from his arms and said:
"It's the incompetence of the lowly and incompetent, I opened this box, but the inside is empty, and we can't find the formula in the entire Zhang family."
What?
The county commander's eyes widened, and he was speechless for a long time.
Could it be that the formula was sold by Zhang Xuehai?
No, it's impossible, Zhang Xuehai's character will never sell that thing, then it will be ruined.
But it was within a day to bump into Zhang Xuehai and Song Wan's tryst, and then go to prison for interrogation, and it was impossible for Zhang Xuehai to destroy things in advance without knowing the ability of the prophet.
There is only one possibility, this recipe was either hidden somewhere else, or it was hidden by other Zhang family members after searching the Zhang family that day.
Damn it!
The prefectural order slammed his fist on the table.
Seeing the county order's purple face, the master hurriedly poured a cup of tea.
"My lord, you are quick to lose your anger, it is not worth being angry and ruining your body for that beast."
But the more the county order thought about it, the more angry he became, he only felt dizzy in his head, and his body shook and sat on the chair.
It was a moment before he was relieved.
He was almost stunned by this Zhang Xuehai!
"Master, you go to the Zhang family and tell them that if the Zhang family doesn't hand over the formula, then no one of them will want to run, I will arrest them one by one and put them in prison, so that they don't want to turn over again in this life and this life!
