Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 109 The situation is serious

Li Canghai didn't speak, but stroked his chin, motioning for him to continue talking.

"The Zuo Envoy didn't ask me to do anything, but just asked me to wait for the opportunity, and he would notify me when it was time for me. I was very nervous at first, but after half a year, I didn't see the Zuo Envoy coming, so I put this matter to the back of my mind. Until three days ago, I received a letter from the Zuo envoy, who asked me to come to Luofengji to help the owner of the winery complete a big event." Huang Mang shrank his neck, trembling Trembling and authentic.

"Big thing? What big deal?" Li Canghai asked suddenly.

Huang Mang said hesitantly: "There is no specific explanation in the letter, only that everything is to be arranged by the owner. After I arrived, I heard from the owner that the wine was going to be sent to various wine shops in Luoyang City. The owner was afraid that I would drink it secretly. Tell me the truth, saying that the wine is poisonous."

Li Canghai's heart sank, and suddenly he felt that the situation was serious. He grabbed Huang Mang and shouted: "Let me ask you, how many barrels of wine have you given so far? How many wine shops have you given?"

Huang Mang was taken aback by Li Canghai's furious look, he said in a panic, "I just arrived at Luofengji this morning, and I only delivered five barrels of wine to five restaurants."

Li Canghai violently pushed Huang Mang to the ground, and asked sharply, "Do you still remember which five wine shops?"

"Remember, remember." Huang Mang trembled from the anger emanating from Li Canghai's body, fearing that he would not give him an antidote in a fit of anger, he hurriedly reported the names of several wine shops.

After finishing the report, Huang Mang said tremblingly: "My lord, that's all I know, can you give me the antidote?"

"Your mother, knowing that there is poison in the wine, you sent it to Luoyang City. I have already shown you kindness without killing you. How dare you ask for the antidote?" After hearing what was going on, Huangfu Kun His whole face turned green, he stepped on Huang Mang's chest, and cursed with wide eyes.

Li Canghai frowned. He weighed the antidote in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Obviously, when Di Hentian was looking for the treasure, he made two arrangements.

It can be said that it was Di Hentian's whim to find the treasure with his own strength, but killing people with poisoned wine seems to be a long-planned plan.Otherwise, they wouldn't bother making the wine.

But what is his purpose?What good would it do him to put Luoyang City in a state of panic?
The poisoned wine has been sent to Luoyang City, and I don't know how many people have drunk this wine, now he can only pray that the other party doesn't have too many 'melting fire Gu worms', otherwise Luoyang City will really become a purgatory on earth.

Huang Mang had already drank the antidote in the porcelain bottle, and just after drinking it, he suddenly vomited.

"Damn, why did you vomit so many bugs?" Huangfu Kun looked at what Huang Mang had vomited, and stepped back a few steps in disgust, cursing.

Li Canghai hurried over, and found that there were indeed some hard-to-identify worms in Huang Mang's vomit, but these worms had black bodies and had been dead for a long time.

"It works!" Li Canghai's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said to Huangfu Kun: "General, quickly send someone to send the antidote from the porcelain we brought to those wine shops, and ask them to pour the antidote into the wine barrel , and asked the wine shop to help find the people who bought the wine, and let them all drink the antidote!"

Huangfu Kun also knew that the situation was serious, poisoned wine flowed into Luoyang, if a major accident happened, he, the guard general, would not be able to escape.

Nodding to Li Canghai, he immediately greeted the lieutenant general: "Did you hear what he said? Bring the antidote back to Luoyang immediately. If someone dies from poisoned alcohol, I'm the only one to ask!"

The lieutenant general was also unambiguous, and after bowing, he led the people to choose a fast horse and left in a hurry.

"Qing'er, Miss Xue, please go with me, I'm worried that some experts from 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu' will sneak into Luoyang City and cause chaos." Li Canghai turned to Di Qing and Xue Xuan.

The two of them had heard him mention the harm of the 'Xuan Ice Gu worm' before, nodded and left the winery together.

"General, take this person down first and keep him under strict supervision. After this matter is settled, I will report this matter to the Governor of Duji Province." Li Canghai glanced at Huang Mang, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. road.

"This trash, according to what I said, he should be chopped off!" Huangfu Kun's face was livid, and he kicked Huang Mang fiercely, kicking him unconscious, and cursed angrily.

Li Canghai glanced at those people. He knew that there were still matters to be resolved, so he said indifferently, "Who is the owner of the winery?"

A very handsome middle-aged man stood up, his face was pale, and he said tremblingly: "It is...me."

"Huang Mang has already explained everything, now it's your turn." Li Canghai said indifferently with his hands behind his back.

"Little man... I don't know what the adults mean."

"Now, you still want to deny it? Do you know what crime you have committed? Rebellion and treason, implicating the entire family!" Li Canghai shouted coldly.

"I'm wronged, I'm wronged, my lord! The villain is only making wine and selling wine, how could he have anything to do with rebellion and rebellion!" Hearing what he said, the owner of the workshop immediately peed his pants in fright, and knelt on the ground, sweating profusely Cried up.

"You know that there are poisonous insects in the water, but you still want to make wine and sell it. Do you know how many people will be killed by this poisonous wine? The whole Luoyang city will be thrown into chaos because of the wine you brewed. This is not a rebellion, but what is it? ?" Li Canghai shouted with a cold voice.

After hearing these words, the owner of the workshop was frightened and stupid. After a long time, he cried and said: "My lord, I will do it all. About a month ago, a couple of men and women came to Mangshan for fun. It happened that I entered the mountain at that time. The three of us went together in search of water for brewing. Later, the girl accidentally found a cold pond. The water quality in the cold pond was clear, but it was not suitable for brewing wine. But the girl said that this water is an underground cold spring, and the wine brewed must be very popular. Welcome, so I brewed some with their help."

Li Canghai understood in his heart that the couple should be Di Shajie and Hongyan.Presumably when they went into the mountains to search for treasures, they accidentally discovered a cold pool with 'Xuan Ice Gu worms', which led them to come up with such a method.

"Unexpectedly, after the wine was brewed, it exuded a strange smell. I wanted to pour it out, but those two people asked me to sell the wine and gave me twenty mile gold. At that time, they happened to meet Shopkeeper He from Jixianglou came to collect the wine, and I sold the wine half-sold and half-gifted. I never dreamed that a barrel of wine could earn 20 taels of gold, but not long after, the man They found me and asked me to continue brewing wine with that kind of lake water, and threatened me that the wine I brewed before has poisoned people, and if I don’t listen to them, I will report this to the government.”
