Chapter 51: Immortal Incense Poison
"The government received a secret report from a stranger that the food in this restaurant was drugged, so they came to investigate!"
"Poisoned? How is this possible?" Chu Ming felt incredible.
But Zhang Zezhen was not surprised, needless to say, this must be Gu Changqing's ghost behind his back.
"Chu Zhutou, I'm sorry, we have to search here."
Although Chu Ming is a head catcher, he is not qualified to influence the government's investigation of the case, so he can only get out of the way.
"What is this?" A man came smelling the fragrance and pointed to the dishes in the food box.
"I bought it from Jinyulou!"
"Aren't you a friend of Miss Zhang? Why do you want to buy food at Jin Yu Lou?"
Zhang Zezhen felt wrong, finished the calf, and fell for the trick of the female cadre.
"We suspect that Jin Yulou is putting illegal drugs in the dishes, so we bought it to check."
"No, Chu Zhutou, if it is really as you said, then why don't you report the news to the government, but investigate the case privately? Could it be that there's something greasy in there?"
"Nonsense! I'm looking for proof!"
"Did you find the evidence?"
"Isn't that here? Jin Yulou has put immortal incense poison in the food, which can cause people to hallucinate and indulge in it, you can take the food back and verify it."
"Are you sure this dish was bought from Jinyu Building?"
"I went to buy it myself, could it be fake?"
"Okay, Chu Zhutou, do you dare to confront Jinyulou face to face?"
"Why don't you dare?"
Chu Ming swore an oath, but he didn't know that this catch had been bought by Gu Changqing.
"Go and call the cook from Jinyu Mansion and let her identify her."
"Yes!"
Chu Ming didn't think so, but Zhang Zezhen reminded him in a low voice, "I have a bad premonition."
"Don't worry, with me, we are reasonable, what are you afraid of him doing?"
"Report! Chef Wang of Jinyulou is here!"
"Chef Wang, look at it, is this your family's dish?"
Wang walked up to him with a fake look, looked at the dish carefully, and then said aggrievedly: "Official, this is not our family's dish, I never make this dish, there is no nutrition, and the strong men are not full after eating."
After speaking, she also glanced at Zhang Zezhen.
"Chu Zhutou, Zhang Zezhen, what else do you have to say?"
"Don't listen to him, you can go to Jinyulou to check, I just bought this dish, and it can't be sold out so quickly!"
At this time, Zhang Zezhen grabbed Chu Ming and said, "We were fooled, others can't eat this dish, she just sold it to you."
"What?"
When Wang heard Zhang Zezhen's analysis, he smiled siniskly and said, "Official, look at them, they are still spewing blood here! You'll have to avenge us!"
"Don't worry! You search for me! Find evidence of Zhang Zezhen's poisoning, and count it as your meritorious service!"
Hearing the order, the officials broke into Hua Ruoyu's kitchen and began to search.
"Zhenzhen, what's going on?" Zhang Yang was anxious and didn't know what to do.
"It's okay, mother!"
"You eyeless shit! I don't know how to catch the real bad guys, and find trouble with the good guys here, you will definitely be punished!" Zhang Yang yelled at these officials.
"Someone! Arrest this old woman for me, dare to insult the servants, I don't think you want to live anymore!"
"I'll see who dares to touch her!" Chu Ming stood in front of him, and a strong pressure made the officials dare not move forward.
Even if he came to investigate the case, he didn't dare to offend Chu Zhutou, so he could only swallow his anger and eat a dumb loss. Hum! Chu Ming, you wait, wait for me to find out the evidence, and the position of head catcher will be mine.
"I reported that I didn't find any poisonous food or spices!"
"What? No way, you definitely didn't check it out! Her family must have poisoned her!" It was not the same as catching a quick speech, so Wang made his own prediction first.
Zhang Zezhen and others
This is the opportunity, "Chef Wang, you haven't eaten my family's food, how can you know that my family's food is poisoned? And it's a woad."
"Could it be that you came to my house to poison the vegetables?"
"You're talking nonsense! I just know it, and the customers who come to my store know."
"Really? Facts speak louder than words, there are a lot of people eating at my house, you can ask them, are they poisoned after eating?"
"Doesn't it happen right after poisoning?"
"And since they won't have an immediate seizure, how do you know they're poisoned?"
"This ......"
"Whose money did you take to do things for others, right?" Zhang Zezhen unceremoniously poked at the pain point of catching fast.
"What? Are you abusing your private power? Yu Zhi, what crime should you be guilty of?"
"Chu Zhutou, don't listen to the slander of that witch, how can I accept bribes from others?"
"Since there isn't, then please give me a reason! You've come to smash the scene and make my business miserable, so you have to settle this account!"
"Who do you think you are? Dare to settle accounts with the government? Have you lived enough?"
"I didn't say that I would settle accounts with the government, I was talking about settling accounts with you!"
Yu Zhi had nothing to say, he knew that he had lost to Chu Ming again this time, and if he continued to make trouble, he might not even be able to protect his official position.
"That's it! Since nothing has been found, let's go first!"
"Go? You can't go!" Chu Ming's words revealed a murderous aura, and he said in a commanding tone.
"Why?" Yu Zhi asked boldly.
"The matter of your investigation of Hua Ruoyu is over, but the matter of Jinyulou's poisoning is not over, and there is also the matter of you receiving benefits from others, which is not over."
Zhang Zezhen had long expected that Gu Changqing would sue the wicked first, thanks to his foresight, the jade who crossed over helped a lot, otherwise, he would have to be killed by them.
"Chu Zhutou, you see that Yu Kuai is suspected of knowing the law and breaking the law, and it is not appropriate to take him with him to investigate the matter of Jinyulou, right?" Zhang Zezhen asked Chu Ming in a strange way, but in fact, he was referring to Sang scolding Huai.
"Of course not! Brothers behind Yu Zhi, I know that you are all officers and soldiers loyal to the imperial court, and you have come to tell the truth today, and you have also been framed by the female cadre."
"Now, if you go with me to investigate Jinyulou, I can not report today's matter to the yamen, and find out the truth, and I can also be rewarded for meritorious deeds! The choice is yours!"
The officials looked at each other, they were all eating in the yamen, there was no need to offend the head catcher, so everyone walked towards Chu Ming one after another.
"We are willing to find out the truth with Chu Zhutou and be loyal to the imperial court!" Everyone shouted slogans in unison.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Yu Zhi glared at the Wang clan fiercely, "You can hurt me!"
Wang didn't reply, she didn't expect things to turn out like this, she obviously sprinkled the mouse medicine on Zhang Zezhen's field, why was it gone overnight.
"Miss Zhang, do you have any food today?"
A voice came from a distance, which attracted Zhang Zezhen's attention, and when she looked around, it turned out to be a beggar who came yesterday.
"Yes, yes, sir, wait a minute, second brother, serve dinner!"
"Okay!"
Although Zhang Zefeng didn't like the beggar in front of him, since it was a matter explained by the little sister, he naturally didn't dare to slack off.
"Slow down."
Looking at the full plate of dishes, the beggar happily ate it.
"Yu Yukuai, if Hua Ruoyu's food is poisonous, then why would anyone come to eat it?"
Yu Zhi couldn't answer at all, because he was just entrusted by someone, and he didn't expect things to be like this.
"Okay, I know you can't answer, come on, tie up Yu Zhi for me, and take him to Jinyu Tower."
"Miss Zhang, are you going to the big restaurant on the other street?" The beggar asked.
"Yes, sir, what's wrong?"
"Can you take me?"
"What are you taking with you?" Chu Ming was very puzzled
。
"Trust me, I'll be of use to you."
Zhang Zezhen thought for a while and said, "Okay, then you go with us."
The beggar nodded in satisfaction.
Gu Changqing was sitting in Jinyulou waiting for news, he looked at the time, and estimated that the Wang family had already dealt with the matter.
"Master, Jinyu Mansion has really been doing business in the past two days, and it all depends on your good management." Steward Gu patted Gu Changqing's ass and said.
"Hahaha, these are all small scenes, I've been fighting in the business for so many years, can't I still deal with a Zhang Zezhen?"
"However, will the things in this meal be harmful to people's bodies?" Steward Gu whispered in his ear.
"I asked Wang, this kind of thing is a kind of magic drug, as long as you put a very small amount every day, it can make people addicted, and it will not be fatal if you take it for a long time." Gu Changqing told him confidently.
"That's good, the old slave is afraid that this kind of thing will cause trouble to the master, after all, that Wang is an outsider, and it is difficult to have the same heart with you."
"Steward Gu is too worried, although the Wang family is selfish, but he is still reliable."
"What happened two days ago?"
"It's done, Zhang Zezhen is in a catastrophe this time, no one wants to save her! Hahaha."
"I heard that she knows a head catcher in the county, so it won't get in the way, right?"
"I've taken care of this too! Huh? That's not right, Steward Gu, why are you talking today and looking ahead? How? Don't believe in my Gu's strength?"
"The old slave doesn't dare, it's just that I'm really panicked in my heart, and I always feel like something is going to happen."
"Don't talk nonsense!".
As soon as Gu Changqing's words fell, Chu Ming walked in with the officials, Yu Zhi, whom he had bribed, was tied up, and the Wang family stood aside and did not dare to speak, and there were Zhang Zezhen and a beggar next to him.
"Who's coming? Get your name in!"
"I am Chu Ming, the head catcher of the county yamen, and I came here today to investigate the poisoning case of Jinyulou."
When Gu Changqing heard this, he was almost frightened.
"What? Poisoning? It's absolutely impossible!" Gu Changqing looked at Wang, hoping that she could say something, but she just bowed her head and said nothing.
"It's impossible, we found out after we checked!"
"Wait! The government needs evidence to handle the case? Do you have one?"
"Of course there is!" Chu Ming carried the vegetables he had just bought, and then put them in front of Gu Changqing.
"Look, there's still the sign of Jinyulou here, how can you deny it?"
Gu Changqing was speechless, this, how is this possible?
He shouted angrily, "Who did this?"
"Stop screaming! It's useless to say anything now, brothers, search for me! Find out all the spices in their house!"
"Yes!"
"Diners here, listen to me, I am Chu Ming, the head catcher of the Yamen, and there are hallucinogenic poisons in the food you are eating now, please stop eating immediately, otherwise your life will be in danger."
"Huh? Toxic?" People were so frightened that they threw down their chopsticks and retreated.
"Gu Changqing, you brute! We are also old customers of Jinyutang, and you actually poisoned us!"
"You bastard who is not as good as a pig or a dog, no wonder I've been dizzy these days, and I always want to come to your house for dinner, but it turns out that I poisoned us and lost money!"
"Losing money? If you hurt us, just lose money! Kill him!"
"Yes! Kill him!"
Gu Changqing still had the last trace of fantasy, because only a very few people knew about the immortal incense poison.
