Ziling ran back to the West Building and conveyed Xinghua's original words.

Persuaded: "Uncle, don't make trouble at home at this time, the eldest lady is upset now." ”

Ning Hao rolled his eyes.

Are you a well-fed person who has nothing to do?

I really want to pick a son and stop helping.

But.

If you don't help, you can't do it.

In case the prefect has a convulsion and classifies himself as an accomplice, he will be beheaded at the worst, and he will be exiled for 3,000 miles.

You can't joke with your own life.

Ning Hao thought about it, he had to find another way.

I thought about it.

Ning Hao instructed: "Ziling, you go outside and help me inquire, see which people have been poisoned, you make a list of poisoned people, where do you live, etc., the more detailed the better." ”

Ziling asked in surprise, "Uncle, what do you want this for?" ”

Ning Hao lowered his face: "If you want to inquire, you can ask, why do you ask so much?" How? Ass wants to eat pancakes. ”

Ziling covered her hands behind her in fright, and ran down the west building with a smoke.

Ning Hao looked at it and nodded with satisfaction: "The son can be taught." ”

Less than half a day's work.

Ziling ran back.

"Uncle, I've inquired clearly."

Ning Hao was having lunch.

Seeing her coming back, he immediately greeted: "It's hard, come, report while eating, don't starve my little hero." ”

Ziling's pretty face turned red for a while, and she waved her hand and didn't dare to bow.

"No, no, no, that's what a slave should do."

"Uncle, this is the list of poisoned people, but there is something strange about it."

Ning Hao asked, "What's strange?" ”

"You sit down and eat, don't just stand, sit."

Ning Hao pulled Ziling to sit down.

Xiao Nizi sat down, trembling, her buttocks sat next to the round stool, and she looked like she could fall down at any time.

She didn't dare to look at a table of good dishes.

Hurriedly reported to Ning Hao: "Uncle, I sent the porter out to inquire, and the porter told me that half of the people on this list were also poisoned by salt, but they had not bought salt in our Chu family's salt shop." ”

"The salt of our Chu family is expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it."

Ning Hao sighed: "So they went to buy salt from other houses, and the things they ate." ”

Ziling nodded: "Yes, uncle." ”

"Uncle, there is something strange about this, look, do you want to talk to the eldest lady."

Ning Hao shook his head and said, "No, the porter found such a big problem, I'm afraid he would have already gone to invite merit and receive the reward." ”

"I guess, our eldest lady should be eager to go out by now, find these people, and ask them to testify in court."

Ziling looked at Ning Hao in amazement.

Surprised, Ning Hao was so sure.

Ning Hao continued: "It's a pity, the symptoms are not cured, and the fundamental problem is not solved, and this matter still depends on us." ”

"When the time comes, the salt dealers can make a lot of money and unanimously slander that it was the Chu family who spent money to coerce these victims to frame them."

"Or maybe they're already in action now, and I'm afraid these cards are all gone."

"Hmph, this time it came too suddenly, too strange, it would be strange if no one was behind it."

"The Chu family's catastrophe is difficult."

"But the root problem is the salt."

"Ziling, you hurry up and have lunch, after lunch, I want you to help me do two things."

Ziling immediately asked, "Uncle, what are the two things?" ”

Ning Hao didn't say, but pointed to the dishes and chopsticks on the table: "Eat first, people are iron, rice is steel, if you are hungry and lose weight, my Ziling will warm the bed at night." ”

Ziling's delicate little face was flushed when she was teased, and she squirmed and shouted, "Uncle, you know how to bully people." ”

Ning Hao smiled and said, "If you don't eat again, I will reward you with ass baked cakes." ”

"Don't!"

Ziling was frightened and immediately picked up the dishes and chopsticks and devoured them.

Soon, it was finished.

She put down the dishes and chopsticks: "Uncle, I'm done." ”

Ning Hao stretched out his hand.

Ziling was startled and subconsciously wanted to dodge.

Ning Hao wiped the rice grains from the corners of her mouth for her.

Ziling looked at the erased rice grains, her pretty face was ashamed, and her heart was puffing and beating.

Ning Hao ate the rice grains on his fingertips and ordered, "Ziling, you can help me do two things in a while." ”

"The first thing is to find a few reliable family members, and say that the eldest lady ordered them to go to the homes of these poisoned people and distribute elixir to the victims."

"Let's just say that this medicine is an elixir given by the Taoist on the mountain, which can cure all diseases, and detoxification is no longer a problem, but don't do it, people who are not sick can't eat it, it is a medicine with three poisons, and they are not responsible for eating it to death."

Saying that, Ning Hao took out the medicine bottle from his sleeve.

Ziling took the medicine bottle and looked at it hesitantly: "Uncle, can this medicine work?" ”

For Ning Hao, Ziling had three words written on her face.

Unreliable!

Ning Hao glared at her and said, "If you want to do something, you can do it, what so much nonsense, what?" Ass wants to eat pancakes? ”

Ziling subconsciously moved her hips, and hurriedly smiled: "Don't eat, don't eat." ”

Ning Hao hummed with satisfaction, and continued to order: "The second thing, you go to our shop and bring me some coarse salt, and this is some of the things I want to buy, you can buy them for me." ”

"Oh."

Ziling immediately got up to do these two things.

About two hours.

Ziling came back breathlessly.

"Uncle, I have done everything you want me to do."

"Don't say it, those people ate the elixir you gave, and they didn't feel so bad all of a sudden."

"A lot of people are still shouting that they are hungry and want to eat."

Ning Hao hummed and asked, "Did you buy all the salt I asked you to collect and the utensils I sold?" ”

Ziling nodded again and again: "It's all in the flower hall downstairs." ”

"Good."

Ning Hao immediately went downstairs.

Close the flower hall, stay alone in the house, and no one will be allowed to enter.

Ziling wondered what Uncle was doing?

So mysterious.

……

It's dark.

Chu Wanqing dragged her tired and hungry body home.

She learned from the porter that some of them were not poisoned by eating Chu family salt, so she immediately went to run, hoping that they would come forward to testify in court.

It's a pity that these people were bought early on, and they all bit them to death because of the Chu family's salt.

No matter how Chu Wanqing persuaded her, she promised a lot of money, but it was useless.

Chu Wanqing was desperate.

These profiteers want to force the Chu family to death.

But the mall is like this, either you die or I live.

If you want to blame it, blame the Chu family for being too slow to react.

Didn't react to the prefect at the first time.

If you miss one move, you will lose the whole game.

Cuixia, the personal maid, immediately served hot dishes and hot meals to the table.

"Miss, you're tired all day, hurry up and eat something."

Chu Wanqing was in the mood to eat: "It's all withdrawn, I don't have an appetite." ”

Cui Xia served her soup: "If you don't have an appetite, you have to eat some, now the Chu family is all up to you, let's drink some soup." ”

Chu Wanqing was very irritable.

I don't even want to drink the soup.

She's worried now.

But the maid's kindness, she knows.

He forced himself to take a sip of soup.

This mouthful of soup is in the mouth.

Chu Wanqing suddenly sighed.

It doesn't taste right.

In the past, unless it was a sweet soup, it was inevitable that the soup would have a bitter taste.

But the soup tastes very unusual today.

It's not bitter at all, and it tastes great.

Chu Wanqing couldn't help but drink.

Cui Xia and Xinghua saw that their master was willing to eat, and they were happy in their hearts.

Chu Wanqing finished drinking a bowl of soup and immediately ordered.

"Taste it too."

Cui Xia and Xinghua were stunned for a moment, and immediately shook their heads and said, "Miss, we don't dare to do this." ”

Chu Wanqing instructed: "Let you taste it, you will taste it, hurry up." ”

The two maidservants did not dare to disobey their masters, and immediately tasted a small bite.

The taste is delicious and fragrant.

The two girls looked at each other in surprise.

"It's true that it tastes very different from what it used to be."

"It's weird, why did Chef Liu's skills suddenly become so good?"

Chu Wanqing shook her head and said, "It's not that the craftsmanship is good, but the salt used has been changed." ”

"Where did he get such good salt, a cook?"

"Cuixia, call someone, I'll ask him well."

"Yes."

Chef Liu was called.

Entering the East Building, he bowed his waist and bowed his hand: "I've seen the eldest lady." ”

"I don't know if the eldest lady is looking for the little one, but what are your dissatisfaction with tonight's meal?"

"I'll just say it, the salt sent by Ziling's girl is definitely not good."

Chef Liu seems to be leaking his mouth, but he is actually picking himself clean.

Chu Wanqing asked in surprise, "What did you say, Ziling exchanged for salt?" ”

Chef Liu nodded again and again: "It's this Nizi." ”

Chu Wanqing immediately said, "Is there still salt left?" ”

"Yes, the small ones have been brought, Miss, please take a look."

Chef Liu hurriedly took out the canned salt from his sleeve.

Cuiwei took it, put it on the table, opened it, took a little from the soup pool and handed it to Chu Wanqing.

Chu Wanqing looked at the salt in the soup pool.

I can't help but wonder.

Such fine salt, the output is very small, comparable to gold, and only the powerful can afford to use it on weekdays.

Among ordinary businessmen, they are also reluctant to use it, and they feel extremely luxurious.

Chu Wanqing was very puzzled, how could a maid get this precious fine salt.

"Go and call Ziling, such a precious fine salt, I have to ask her, where did she get it?"

Cuiwei immediately went to call someone.
