γBroadcastγPay attention to "Reading at the starting point", get the first-hand news of 515 red envelopes, and students who have not grabbed red envelopes after the Chinese New Year can show their skills this time.
Ouyang Yucheng and Youming together, taking the leftovers handed over by Yi Dan, wanted to go to pharmacist Xu Gui to help test drugs.
The two of them came to the door of the pharmacist's courtyard and knocked on the door, and it was the apprentice from before who came out and opened the door and asked, "Ouyang Gang Master, is there something wrong?"
"Is your master back?"
"Not yet, what's wrong?" the disciple asked.
Ouyang Yucheng looked inside, and it was indeed empty, so he said to the little disciple: "Xiao Pan, can you test for poison? I have some food here, and I want to know if there is any poison in it." β
Xiao Pan said: "No problem, I have learned these basic things a long time ago." β
Ouyang Yucheng took out the food wrapped in sackcloth, handed it to Xiao Pan and said, "Then please help me check it." β
The apprentice took the food handed by Ouyang Yucheng, carefully inspected it, smelled it with his nose, and tested it with silver, but he didn't find that the food was poisonous, he even put a little bit in his mouth and tasted it and said: "Ouyang Sheng Gang Master, I'm sure these meals are not poisonous." β
"Okay, I see, thank you, Xiao Pan. β
The disciple said: "It's okay, if there is anything to let Xiao Pan serve in the future, please ask Ouyang Gang Master to speak." β
"Well, you're really capable, study pharmacology well, let's go first. β
After Xiao Pan closed them up, a twenty-four-five-year-old man ran over and asked, "Apprentice, what did Ouyang Yucheng say to you just now?"
It turned out that this man was Xiao Pan's master, Xu Gui, the pharmacist of the Knife Grinding Gang.
"Master, Gang Leader Ouyang just asked me to help him see if the food he brought was poisonous. β
"Then did you find out what the results were?" asked Xu Gui.
"I checked, and there was no poison in the food. The disciple replied.
"Did they say why they asked you to check?" Xu Gui asked.
"Nope. But Master, may I ask why you have been avoiding Ouyang Gang Leader recently? A few days ago, you asked me to lie to Ouyang Gang Leader, saying that you went out to collect medicine. You didn't tell me before. Do not lie, do you sit up straight?" asked the disciple.
"That's the attitude of a decent man. If you are dealing with a villain with a human face and a beast's heart, you must be cautious everywhere. Xu Gui said.
"Oh, I see, there must be something wrong with the Ouyang Gang Master, which made Master angry with you, right?" the apprentice asked.
Xu Gui didn't speak, just snorted.
"But I think Ouyang Gang Leader is very good, when he was a gang leader before, he was very good to everyone. The apprentice said.
"Don't be fooled by superficial phenomena, nothing in the world is as simple as the eyes see. Ay. Forget it, you won't understand it, so I'll tell you these truths when you're older. Xu Gui said.
However, Ouyang helped him..."The apprentice still wanted to continue to ask. Ke Xu Gui interrupted: "Don't call him Ouyang Gang Leader in the future." Now the leader of our Knife Grinding Gang is Tang Liansheng, not him Ouyang Yucheng. β
"But..."
"There's nothing more to it, let's go inside. β
Ouyang Yucheng was still a little uneasy, so he took the food and found Lu Yonghuai, Lu Jianyin, and Master Empty Sorrow in the room, and asked them to help take a look.
Master Empty Compassion, who is good at detecting drugs, said: "The poor monk has made a preliminary judgment. There was no poison in this meal. β
The other two also said that this meal was indeed non-toxic, so Ouyang Yucheng found a chicken and a dog to feed them some of these meals, but there was no sign of poisoning, and Ouyang Yucheng even tore off a little bit of minced meat. Throwing it to the ants on the ground, after a while, a group of ants happily moved the minced meat away, and Ouyang Yucheng believed that there was indeed no poison in the meal.
Ouyang Yucheng just wanted to go to the inn and find a way to tell Yi Dan about the result. At this time, that Qin Zijin came to Ouyang Yucheng and said, "Brother Yucheng, it's not good. Come with me to Baiyun Mountain. β
Ouyang Yucheng asked, "What's wrong, Zijin?"
"Oh, I can't tell, anyway, you'll know when you go, hurry up and come with me. Qin Zijin pulled Ouyang Yucheng and walked out the door.
Ouyang Yucheng said to Youming: "Brother Youming, please hurry up and go to the Xiangfu to tell you the news of Senior Sister, so that she doesn't have to worry about it for the time being, and changes the direction of searching." β
"Oh, okay, I'll go find Senior Sister. With that, Youming withdrew and left.
And Lu Yonghuai, the master of empty sorrow, Lu Jianyin and Wang Yunhai, heard that something had happened in Baiyun Mountain, so they also went to Baiyun Mountain with Ouyang Yucheng and Qin Zijin.
In the private room of Jufu Restaurant, Zhang Taoguo and Nahammu continued to discuss the evacuation.
Nahamu asked Zhang Taoguo, "How many of you are going to Persia?"
Zhang Taoguo said: "A total of three people"
Nahamu looked at the two of them and asked, "Is there another one, is it your wife?"
Zhang Taoguo: "Oh, no, it's a concubine of mine who hasn't entered the door yet." β
Zhang Qianmei, the son on the side, asked puzzledly: "Dad, why don't you take your mother with you, but you want to bring a concubine?"
Zhang Taoguo hurriedly explained to his son: "Your mother is not in good health, so let her go back to her mother's house in the countryside to care for the elderly." This little concubine I brought with me is young and beautiful, firstly, I can let her serve our grandfather and son, and secondly, if we do not live well in Persia in the future, we will sell her, and we can sell her for a few more money. Do you think it's worth it to take her with you?"
Zhang Qianmei understood what her father meant, so she smiled and nodded and said, "Well, yes, just follow what my father wants." β
At this time, Li Xiong and Kou Fei, who heard everything at the door, were furious. Li Xionggang wanted to push the door in, but found that the shopkeeper not far away was walking over with a few dishes.
The two quickly moved behind the corner and dodged the serving Xiaoer.
Xiao Er knocked on the door and brought the meal in. Stir-fried bacon with capers and bracken, fried lamb liver with shredded ginger, fried salted fish, spinach mixed with tofu, and red bean soup were all placed on the table and said, "Please use it slowly." β
Zhang Taoguo said with a smile: "Mr. Naham, please use the dishes." β
Nahammu looked at the food on the table, frowned and asked, "Mr. Zhang, may I ask if these are all the dishes you ordered?"
Zhang Taoguo said with a smile: "Yes, these are my prime minister's favorite dishes, I see that he likes it so much, it must be reasonable, I want to be auspicious." I also ordered a few, you can also taste it together, they are all flavored in Shuzhong, fragrant. β
Nahammu said solemnly: "These dishes are poisonous, don't you know?"
Zhang Taoguo asked puzzledly: "How can it be? These are my **** delicacies, my prime minister eats them every day, and I don't see anything." β
Naham's tone of disbelief asked, "You said your prime minister eats these things every day?"
"Yes, I've been eating every day lately, and I've been eating it for months. Zhang Taoguo said.
Nahamu said: "The meat and the pickles, and the pickled fish. And this bracken, it's all ********. Usually, it's okay to eat a little less occasionally, but if you eat it every day, it will give birth to a tumor within a year, and in your words, even the gods can't save it. There is also this sheep liver, which cannot be eaten with mung beans, so it will also be chronically poisoned. β
Zhang Taoguo asked in surprise, "Is it really so scary?"
Naham: "Of course, there is also this spinach, which was originally grown in Persia. But you can't eat it with your tofu, especially the elderly, who will have stones in their stomachs. We Persians have known these things for a long time, you cooks. Is it deliberately trying to kill your prime minister?"
Zhang Taoguo said in disbelief: "How is this possible? The cook of our Prime Minister's Mansion was specially invited by the emperor from Shuzhong." β
Nahammu said: "That is, your emperor wants to kill the prime minister and let him eat and slowly poison him, this method is really clever." β
Zhang Taoguo said: "No." My lord, he is worried about the country and has been worrying about the emperor, so why does the emperor still want to kill him? β
Nahammu said, "The only way to do this is to ask your emperor." Anyway, I definitely won't eat such a meal. β
Zhang Taoguo hurriedly said: "Okay, let's change to something else, I'm really sorry, Mr. Naham." β
After saying that, Zhang Taoguo turned his head and shouted loudly outside the door: "Little Er, Little Er..."
Li Xiong and Kou Fei, who were outside the door, couldn't help but shudder when they heard these words of this peach country and the Persians. Hesitation is too high to be reckless. Seeing that Xiao Er was coming over again, Li Xiong pulled Kou Fei and hurriedly left the restaurant.
Walking on the street, Kou Fei said to Li Xiong: "Brother Xiong, why don't you let me in and kill that bastard." Didn't you hear that he wanted to sell Mei'er? β
Li Xiong said: "I figured it out, if we kill him like this, we won't get anything, and we will have to resist our lives." β
Kou Fei asked, "Then what should we do? Can't you just watch that old man and take Mei'er away and spoil it, right?"
"Don't you hear? They are going to flee to Persia with the money. I know that in the past two years, that Zhang Taoguo has collected a lot of silver from other officials behind his back. We just need to find evidence and tell the master about these things, hum, when the time comes, even if he has ten heads, it is estimated that it will not be enough to cut off. β
"However, I guess he also knows a little bit about the matter of deducting the silver two, right?
"Don't worry, the little money we take is not more than a fraction of his fraction. Even if he confesses to us, maybe the prime minister will see us when he exposes us and will make a contribution. I won't pursue it. Anyway, this time we must completely bring him down, otherwise our evil breath will be really difficult to get rid of. β
"Okay, I'm also out of the way, since we're not afraid to kill him, why are you afraid of him. Kou Fei said.
"Well, let's act immediately and expose his old bottom, otherwise let him run away and give up all his efforts. β
"But Brother Xiong, there is one more thing we should do?" Kou Fei asked.
Li Xiong asked, "What's the matter?"
"Didn't you listen to the Persian? Do you think we should tell the Prime Minister about this?"
Li Xiong thought for a while and said, "This matter may be arranged by the emperor, let's not worry too much." β
"But sir, he's really a good official, he's still good to us, let's or..."Kou Fei said hesitantly.
"We are just grass people, and the affairs of the court are not for us to interfere in. If the emperor knows, I'm afraid he will punish our nine clans, do you know?" Li Xiong said.
"Oh, well. β
