Chapter 169: Murder
Before leaving, the prince specially told everyone not to eat spicy tang recently.
Since the appearance of Malatang, it has been loved by women and children, especially after the cold weather, Malatang's business is better.
Yun Sheng didn't know what the prince was going to do, but since he said so, he must have a reason.
It's okay when she doesn't say it, but she really wants to eat it more when she finishes speaking.
Because of her pregnancy, she paid great attention to herself, and she was afraid that the food outside would not be clean.
In the beginning, when the state was not strictly controlled, even poppies were planted.
Thinking of poppies, Yunshang gasped, it can't be poppies, this thing is very harmful and addictive.
In this way, it is really possible, Yunshang has heard others say that Malatang is indeed very popular in the capital, and later many people followed the trend to do Malatang, but it could not attract so many people to eat.
Among these shops, the best one is the shop of the three princes' side concubines.
Yunshang was in a cold sweat, if she really moved that thing, no one would be able to save her, and even the third prince would be implicated.
She couldn't ask, she couldn't say, she could only tell the people in the house that no one could buy Malatang, not only Mofu, but also Li Xin'er and Li Bo's mansion were notified.
The Hou Mansion doesn't need it, it has its own prince to tell.
A few days later, a man suddenly broke into Shen Menglian's shop, and now it was dark, and when he entered the store, he was like a starving ghost reincarnated.
"Xiao Er, hurry up and serve a spicy hot, no, I want two, hurry up."
The man is a businessman, who runs back and forth between the south and the north on weekdays, but this time he went to other places to buy goods, and went out for seven days, thinking about this bite every day, scratching his heart and wanting to eat.
It's not like no one in the caravan tried to make it, but the taste was always different.
As soon as I returned to Beijing, I immediately came to eat.
At first glance, he was a frequent customer, and the shopkeeper was very fast, so he hurriedly served two portions of Malatang.
"Childe, is this a deal?"
The shopkeeper asked with a smile.
The man didn't bother to speak, and immediately began to eat, whimpering in reply to his words.
"Hmm...... Burst! ”
The man couldn't help but squirt out in his lower abdomen, grabbed the collar of the shopkeeper, and opened his mouth with red eyes, "Little Er, what's going on?" Has your chef changed? Why does it taste so bad? ”
Indeed, Malatang contains a trace amount of poppies, and it is okay to eat it twice once in a while, but it will be addictive if you eat too much.
This boy is notoriously picky, and since he tasted Malatang, he has eaten almost three meals a day.
Malatang and other foods are healthy, but this poppy is harmful.
I ate it every day, I ate it every day, I was addicted to it for a long time, and I endured it for seven days.
The shopkeeper was frightened and trembled, "Gong...... Childe, the chef hasn't changed, or that, can you try it again? ”
Childe could hardly hide his temper, and immediately swept the two portions of Malatang to the ground.
", what I can't taste? Tell you, I'm a bad mouth. ”
"No, I'll go to the back kitchen!"
Saying that, he strode to the back kitchen, Xiao Er couldn't stop him, so he had to quickly beckon the shopkeeper to come out.
The diners sitting in the store saw the excitement, and immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks and put them together in twos and threes.
The boy walked into the kitchen and looked at the familiar fat chef, who really hadn't changed.
The shopkeeper was called over by Xiao Er, and hurriedly accompanied him, "This son, can I make you a new one?" Your satisfaction is guaranteed! ”
Childe didn't speak, sniffed his nose vigorously, walked to the table, and picked up a can of ingredients.
The nose came to the mouth and sniffed, and then he was satisfied, "You shopkeeper is really stingy, there are so many seasonings, you can't put it on me, I don't enjoy eating at all!" ”
As he spoke, he lifted the jar and poured it directly into his mouth.
A crowd watched in amazement as he snorted.
The shopkeeper's face turned pale with fright, "Quick, stop him!" ”
He always remembered Concubine Fang's words, everyone can only drink a little of this seasoning, and if you drink too much, it will cause harm to your body.
The shopkeeper kept in mind the words of the side concubine, and there was not much in every spicy hot.
Everyone hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to stop the person, but this boy drank a lot as if he had lost his mind.
Until he put the jar down, he burped unsatisfactorily, "Whew...... Shopkeeper's ...... Hiccup, you don't have to stop it, look at how many silver taels, I'll pay you. ”
The shopkeeper's forehead was sweating, and he carefully observed the person's expression, and found that there was no change, thinking that the concubine was scaring him.
Just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly the person in front of him suddenly twitched and foamed at the mouth.
And the son in front of him was still smiling, not noticing at all, his body shook and spoke, "Shopkeeper, do you put wine in this seasoning?" Why are you so upset? ”
As soon as the words fell, the whole person lay on the ground, and his whole body convulsed violently.
The shopkeeper behind him let out a scream, trembling like chaff, "Ah! Is he dead? ”
Pointing to the person who fell to the ground, Xiao Er couldn't help but ask the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper's legs were weak, and he almost fainted in front of him.
"Who's making a fuss?"
There were several official figures at the kitchen door, and when they saw that no one was greeting them, they immediately came over when they heard the exclamation.
It's over, the shopkeeper's heart suddenly happened, there was a murder, and he was still in public, and there was no way to show the side concubine and the third prince.
He didn't know if there was anything wrong with the side concubine, but he knew he was finished.
No one answered, and the official messenger walked in, and when he saw the person foaming at the mouth and rolling his eyes on the ground, he immediately stepped forward.
"What's the matter with this man?"
The shopkeeper could only play haha, hoping to fool the past, "Back to the official, this son seems to have lost his mind and gone crazy." ”
The face was full of fear and disbelief.
The official said in his heart that if I hadn't seen everything, I would have believed it.
The official squatted down, sniffed, shook his head and sighed, "People are out of breath!" ”
The shopkeeper stumbled and was held by the little two behind him.
The official told the people behind him, "Go and call someone over, and there is still a job!" ”
"Yes, Brother Yang!"
The official immediately ran out.
When the diners outside heard that someone had died, the timid ones hurried home, and the bold ones also withdrew from the shop and pointed at the distant ones.
Soon a group of officials came over, and the first person was still wearing official uniforms.
When I entered the store, I saw that the scene was not destroyed, nodded with satisfaction, and looked up at the servant behind me, "Let's go, go and see!" ”
"Yes, sir!"
Carrying a medicine box on his back, he followed into the kitchen, saw the corpse lying on the ground, and began to take out silver needles and other tests for testing.
The officer glanced at the corpse and frowned and felt that something was wrong with the man.
"Xiao Yang, has anyone moved at the scene?"
"Back to my lord, no, I'm watching!"
The official nodded, waited for a while, and watched as he stood up, and looked around at the empty jar.
Said to the adults, "My lord, carry the people back first, this place will be sealed first, and the others will be brought back for custody, and all these things will be taken away." ”
The official's expression froze, "You suspect poisoning?" ”
"I can't rule it out, but an autopsy is needed!"
