The reborn businesswoman is the queen

Chapter 165

All non-toxic?

When everyone heard this, they all showed strange expressions.The food was not poisonous, but Miss Mu was still poisoned. Could it be that there is something wrong with eating?Or, is this not poisoning at all?
A lady thought of the saying that food is mutually exclusive, and hesitated and said, "Could it be that she vomited blood and passed out because of eating something that shouldn't be eaten, and two or two mutual restraint?"

This is also a possibility, and many people echoed: "I heard that it will be like this, but I don't know what is incompatible with what!"

They also want to know a thing or two, in case this kind of thing happens to them next time, if there is no such genius doctor as Mr. Mei by their side, wouldn't they lose their lives in vain?

Song Yaming also thought the same thing, he thought carefully, and ordered: "Miss Mu vomited blood outside the house, and the blood is still on the ground, take it back and ask Mr. Mei to check whether it is poisoned or caused by food. vomiting blood."

Yushan hurried out, scraped off the blood on the slate with a knife, put it on a white paper, and handed it back to Mei Shaoqing.

After Mei Shaoqing tried it, her heart skipped a beat, and her confusion deepened: "My lord, Miss Mu really ate the opposite food by mistake. As I said just now, there is licorice in the porridge, and licorice is a medicinal material. There is no harm to the body, but Licorice Grass must not be used together with bitter lotus heart, otherwise it will cause a violent reaction and form a poison like Hedinghong that will seal the throat with blood."

His words undoubtedly corroborated what the lady said just now. It turned out that it was a misunderstanding, not that someone really wanted someone's life.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and sighed. Fortunately, Ms. Mu was blessed with a good life, otherwise it would have been too unfair to go.

Shen Jingyu also smiled lowly, supporting Aunt Xiao to stand aside.The mother and daughter were free of suspicion, and they were very happy to hold each other's hands.

The situation in the arena relaxed, and suddenly Mei Shaoqing continued to say in amazement: "However... my lord, although this is food, but it is actually poisoned by someone."

"How do you say that?" Song Yaming was already planning to make a conclusion, but when he heard him say this, he hurriedly asked, "Is there any reason for this?"

Wei Shi flapped his fan, pursed his lips and chuckled, "You don't need to ask Mr. Mei about this, I know a thing or two. It's true that licorice grass and bitter lotus heart are poisonous when used together, but it's too much to say that food can restrain each other. Willing The grass is green, and it would be too ugly to put it in this kind of crystal clear porridge, but when the fresh and tender licorice grass is cut off, there will be milky white juice, which can be dried to form a concentrated powder, which is most suitable for porridge Mr. Song, please think, who would spend so much time doing such delicate work if it wasn't for painstaking efforts?"

Mei Shaoqing added with a smile: "The fourth prince is right, but the fourth prince doesn't know something. Compared with Gan Xincao, Ku Lianxin has revealed its flaws."

"Oh?" Wei Shi raised his eyebrows: "I would like to hear a thing or two."

Mei Shaoqing explained with a giggle: "There is an old saying that lotus seeds are bitter in the heart, and when eating lotus seeds, you always pick out the lotus heart, but you can't bear its bitter taste. Everyone knows that lotus heart has the effect of clearing away heat and strengthening the spirit. But lotus seeds also have another effect, which is to strengthen the heart muscle. Combining it with licorice grass will cause a similar poisonous effect, that is, licorice grass will exaggerate the effect of strengthening the heart by dozens or even hundreds of times, and the heart and liver cannot bear it. The heartbeat would be violent, the myocardial infarction would occur, and he would vomit blood and die.”

Wei Shi was very interested: "What's the flaw here?"

"The flaw lies in the bitter lotus heart." Mei Shaoqing patiently explained: "The bitter lotus heart is used as medicine. It is always used as a whole. It can be used as food. Who would open their eyes to see such a big lotus heart and swallow it bitterly Come to think of it, the bitter lotus heart that Ms. Mu ate must have been ground into powder, and the bitterness was deliberately removed by other means."

As soon as the two sang together, they immediately listed out the suspicious points of the matter one by one, saving Song Yaming from analyzing it by himself.

Song Yaming was very grateful to the two of them. They said everything they needed to say, and he had to find out the rest. After thinking about it, he asked, "Is there any bitter lotus heart in these things?"

"It's the fault, no." Mei Shaoqing sat back on the spot: "That's why I said that some people deliberately wanted people's lives! Otherwise, if everyone ate these two things, wouldn't many people die?"

Everyone agreed with his point, and the nature of the matter changed back to a murder case in an instant.

Shen Jingyu listened calmly, her fingers were tightly clenched in her sleeves, her face was slightly distorted, but she was still very calm.It doesn't matter if the first step is exposed, anyway, she still has a second move, and she will never burn this fire on herself!

Aunt Xiao was slightly aggrieved, but Shen Jingyu didn't speak. She was afraid of being suspected, so she didn't dare to talk too much.

Song Yaming fell into a stalemate, and couldn't think of any solution for a moment, frowning and thinking about what was missing and which link was missing, so that he could find a clue in the puzzle.

He couldn't figure it out, so Wei Shi reminded casually beside him: "Since someone intentionally poisons, it is normal that it is not easy to be discovered. I think the white fungus, sago and lotus seed porridge is made uniquely, as crystal clear as tofu cubes, it must be It’s chilled. It’s not easy to poison it when it’s solidified, the licorice must be put in when the porridge is cooked, why don’t Master Song check the kitchen?”

His words undoubtedly gave Song Yaming a new direction. Song Yaming immediately cleared the fog and saw the blue sky. He cupped his hands gratefully and ordered: "Come here, bring all the cooks here."

After a while, dozens of cooks from Mu's family lined up in two rows and came out of the wing together.

Song Yaming asked Yushan about the specific division of labor, and said, "Those who have touched the white fungus, sago and lotus seed porridge today, stand to the left."

As soon as the words fell, about 20 people stood on the left side, most of them were the girls who divided the dishes, except for two, one was Mrs. Zhang who made the porridge, and the other was the fire watcher that Mu Yunge saw when he went to the kitchen. little girl.

Song Yaming was also taken aback when he saw that there were so many more. After comparing the roster in his hand, he realized that it was the distribution girl and the cloth girl.It's just that in this way, the screening is meaningless. After asking one by one, I'm afraid it will be dark.

In the past, Song Yaming handled cases with more cases than this suspect. He couldn't trouble him. He immediately turned to ask Mei Shaoqing: "Mr. Mei, how long does it take to blend the licorice into the porridge?"

"The powder made from licorice grass should be blended into the porridge, and it can only be served while it's hot." Mei Shaoqing smiled.

Song Yaming said quickly: "When the porridge is just cooked until it is warm, those who have contact with the porridge should stand a little further to the left."

This time, most of the people left in an instant, leaving only Mrs. Zhang, Peiqiao and Peiping who helped Mrs. Zhang, and the little girl in the kitchen who was in charge of watching the fire.

Aunt Zhang, Peiqiao, and Peiping are all Tingfengzhu people, Aunt Zhang is in charge of the small kitchen, Peiqiao and Peiping are second-class girls, and they are also familiar with Mu Yunge on weekdays.

The girl who started the fire was called Zhang Lingshan, who worked in the Mu family's big room. She was the grand-niece daughter of the housekeeper Zhang in this house. She was only ten years old this year. She was a part-time worker in the Mu family, not a domestic girl of the Mu family.

Song Yaming started with Mrs. Zhang, asked about the time and method of making the porridge, and finally asked her: "Where did you go after the porridge was finished?"

"The old slave is in charge of making dim sum. Making dim sum is a delicate job, and there are a lot of things to prepare, so after finishing the porridge, the old slave took Peiqiao and Peiping to make other dim sum." Mrs. Zhang bowed Answer: "We share the largest kitchen with the other servants who cook the main course, and they can all testify to us."

The other servants nodded one after another, proving that what Mrs. Zhang said was true.

Peiqiao and Peiping followed Aunt Zhang from the beginning to the end, what did Aunt Zhang do and what did they do, Song Yaming couldn't ask anything at all, and finally turned to Zhang Lingshan, the little girl who lit the fire: "You are the youngest one, they said the porridge is ready After that, are you in charge of guarding?"

"Yes." The little girl said timidly, with tears rolling in her eye sockets in fear: "The servant has always been in the kitchen and never left. My lord, it's none of the servant's business!"

She looked a bit naive, and she called Song Yaming Mr. Song directly, which made everyone laugh.

Song Yaming laughed, such a silly girl is definitely not a suspect.

"I know you're none of your business." Song Yaming comforted her: "During your guarding period, did anyone come to the kitchen and touch the porridge?"

When Zhang Lingshan heard him say that it had nothing to do with her, she laughed happily, and when she heard him ask this question, she really thought about it with her cheeks on her hands, and then said: "My lord, there are. There are many people here. Elder sister who walks, there is also a somewhat fat lady, um... there is also the young lady, sister Peixin, and a beautiful young lady whom I have never seen before."

She was stupid, and everyone believed that she would never lie. After hearing her words, they all became strange, looked at each other, and whispered who it might be.

"Yun Ge has been to the kitchen too?" Song Yaming was a little surprised.

Mu Yunge nodded: "Sister-in-law Zhang's craftsmanship has always been a treasure in my yard. I called for sister-in-law Zhang to make the desserts for this celebration banquet. However, sister-in-law Zhang is getting old and has recently suffered from leg problems. Standing for a long time, I was afraid that something might happen to her, so I went to take a look. I took Peixin and Chen Shuhan, the eldest lady of the Amber Marquis, with me, and everyone saw it."

Chen Shuhan stood up and blessed Fushen: "Yes, I can testify."

Wei Shi gave Mei Shaoqing a wink, Mei Shaoqing curled her lips, came out to take the pulse of Mrs. Zhang, and then said: "It's old cold legs, cold and heat will attack alternately, it should have been in pain for four days."

He confirmed what Mu Yunge said, and Song Yaming thought about it, there is absolutely no way that Mu Yunge poisoned himself, he has also met her girl Peixin, she is loyal to Mu Yunge, and her friend Chen Shuhan naturally would not With this evil thought, he focused on the two people in front of him.

"Sister who walks on her legs, a little fat madam?" Song Yaming read in a low voice, then turned to ask Mu Zhizhao: "Master Mu, Mrs. Mu, according to the two of you, who might this be?"

As soon as he finished speaking, half of the wives in the venue felt a little embarrassed. Everyone had given birth and paid great attention to maintenance on weekdays, but it was inevitable that their bodies would still be out of shape. Most of them fit the definition of "a little fat".

How could Mu Zhizhao know this, shook his head, and looked at Xiao Shi.

Xiao Shi was also very surprised, she had never held this celebration banquet, and the servants were all chosen by Yushan and Aunt Shen, so she could only look at Yushan.

Yushan blessed her body and straightened her waist: "Lord Song, master, madam, I don't know who this chubby lady is, but I think of someone who walks on her legs."
