After time travel, I ate glutinous rice bran in ancient times

The madam smiled evilly and whispered, "Sir, I don't think Mr. Zhang was poisoned to death by Madam Dongmei."

"He was tortured to death by Madam Dongmei. People outside don't know, but I know."

"Madam Dongmei is so charming. Ever since Master Zhang San took her as his concubine, she has rarely come to our Yihong Tower."

"Even if he comes, he won't stay overnight. He said that his wife Dongmei is waiting for him at home!"

"That Third Young Master Zhang got on her bed and couldn't get off! Hey, those young masters, even though they look fat, they are actually weak."

"Madam Dongmei is a vixen who specializes in sucking the essence of men. If she does this every day, how can Mr. Zhang San bear it? He will die suddenly, right?"

"Humph, I've seen this kind of thing a lot!"

"So, I often tell the girls in our Yihonglou to be careful. You can have some fun, but don't get anyone killed."

"Don't let the guests die in their beds. Don't cause me trouble and bring me bad luck."

The madam became more and more excited as she spoke, and finally asked County Magistrate Hai with a beaming face: "Sir, Mr. Zhang San, he must have died in Madam Dongmei's bed, right?"

Everyone was embarrassed and speechless, wanting to laugh but not daring to. Wang Yugui was also speechless: This madam kept talking about her business, her mind was quite active, she was very associative, and she was quite outspoken, and she let herself go in court!

"Ji Meiyun, are you deliberately talking nonsense to this county to cover up your crime?" County Magistrate Hai did not laugh, but shouted loudly and calmly.

The madam was stunned when she heard this: "Sir, what are you talking about? My crime? What crime did I commit?"

"Hmph, I'll tell you the truth. Young Master Zhang was poisoned to death after eating the tea leaves you sent to Shuijing Temple," County Magistrate Hai said coldly.

The madam was shocked when she heard this: "What? Master Zhang San was poisoned to death after eating the tea leaves I sent to Shuijing Temple?"

"This, this is impossible!"

The madam looked up at County Magistrate Hai and said, "Sir, the five packets of tea I sent to Shuijing Temple were all good tea. How could they be poisonous to death?"

"I drank the tea leaves too. There's no problem. I'm living a good life!"

"Besides, my tea leaves were given to Nianshan and Jingyin. How could Mr. Zhang San have drunk them?"

The madam suddenly laughed as she spoke: "Mr. Zhang San is the God of Wealth of our Yihonglou. I can't flatter him enough. I can't poison anyone but him!"

"Master Hai, you can figure it out with your toes. I would never poison Mr. Zhang San."

"Humph, of course you didn't want to poison Mr. Zhang San, you wanted to poison Nianshan or Master Jingyin, right?"

"I didn't expect them to give the poisonous tea to Ruan Dongmei. Ruan Dongmei made tea, and it happened to be drunk by Mr. Zhang San, who eventually poisoned him to death!" County Magistrate Hai said coldly.

After hearing this, Wang Yugui thought to himself: Is Lord Hai trying to provoke me?

The madam seemed very surprised when she heard this, and hurriedly explained: "No, sir, I didn't mean to poison Mr. Zhang San, nor did I mean to poison anyone else!"

"Why would I poison Nianshan and Jingyin?"

"Oh, no, sir, you must be mistaken. The tea leaves I sent are not poisonous at all. They can't kill people!"

"Show her." County Magistrate Hai waved his hand, and the yamen runner beside him understood and brought the packet of poisonous tea to the madam.

County Magistrate Hai asked again, "Is this the tea you gave to Nianshan and Jingyin?"

The madam looked at the bag of tea in front of her, frowned, and suddenly reached out, picked up the bag of tea, touched it, and then held it up to look at it.

He laughed: "Sir, I said you were wrong, and it turned out that you were wrong!"

"This is not the tea I gave to Nianshan and Jingyin."

After hearing this, Wang Yugui was surprised: the madam's answer was quite unexpected!

To be honest, at first glance, that packet of poisonous tea looked the same as the other packets of tea, and most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference unless they looked carefully.

How did the old procuress notice something was different right away?

"Why do you think so?" County Magistrate Hai was also quite surprised and asked

The madam said, "Sir, this tea was given to me by Mr. Cai from Caiji Tea House in Huaizhou Prefecture when I went to Huaizhou last time!"

"Boss Cai gave me ten packets in total. I kept five packets. Since I knew that Nianshan liked to drink tea, I gave her three packets and also gave Jingyin two packets."

The madam said this and looked at County Magistrate Hai, "Sir, do you know Caiji Tea House in Huaizhou Prefecture?"

"That's a famous tea house in Huaizhou Prefecture. Cai's tea is all high-end and good!"

"Not only is Caiji's tea delicious, but the paper used to wrap the tea is also exquisite."

"There is a small Caiji mark on the bottom of each paper bag. If you don't look carefully, you may not be able to see it, but you can feel it if you touch it carefully with your hands."

"My Lord, the packet of tea you showed me looks like the same tea I gave you, but when I touch it, there is no mark of Cai's."

"So, I'm sure this bag of tea was not given to Nianshan and Jingyin by me!"

"Oh, so there are so many requirements for tea paper packaging." County Magistrate Hai listened and nodded slightly.

This was an unexpected discovery. Although the quantity showed that the package of tea was not sent by the madam, neither County Magistrate Hai nor Wang Yugui had noticed the packaging clue before.

The madam raised her head proudly after hearing this and said, "Of course!"

"Sir, I am not bragging, but when it comes to matters in this government office, I am not as good as you."

"When it comes to eating, drinking and having fun, I know much more than adults!"

"How dare you! Women should not behave in such a rude way in public!" Captain Liu heard this and shouted loudly.

The madam was not afraid. She looked at Captain Liu, then at Magistrate Hai, picked up the bag of tea, and smiled: "Take this bag of tea for example. I can tell which tea shop in the city it comes from by looking at the paper bag!"

"Oh, I'd like to ask, which tea house does this tea come from?" After hearing this, County Magistrate Hai waved his hand at Constable Liu and asked hurriedly.

The madam wanted to show off her knowledge, so she raised her head and said with a smile: "Sir, although there is no mark on the paper package of this tea..."

"But the paper quality is also top-notch. In Wangtian County, only Xu's Tea House has such exquisite tea paper packages."

"Oh, Xu's Tea House." County Magistrate Hai frowned slightly and asked, "How can you be so sure?"

The madam laughed again: "Sir, don't forget what our Yihonglou is for. It is to entertain all kinds of guests."

"The girls in our Yihonglou are also particular about their food, clothing and daily expenses, especially the top girls."

"My dear Mei Niang likes to drink Xu's tea. Not only Mei Niang, but also many of our guests like to drink Xu's tea."

"So, we at Yihonglou are also old customers of Xu's. We have been drinking his tea for many years."

"I can tell at a glance at his paper bag!"

"By the way, Mr. Zhang San also likes to drink Xu's tea. Not only Mr. Zhang San likes it, but I heard from Mr. San that the tea they drink in their house is also from Xu's!"
