The general's wife is sick

In this way, Wang Yiyun brought the unmarried children of the mansion into the outer house. This house is located in the suburbs of Beijing, far away from the capital city. The environment is quiet and suitable for recuperation.

Wang Xinru is indeed insane, she sings and dances in the house all day long, never idle for a moment, Wang Yiyun looks at her pitifully, so she asks the servants to look at her.

Looking at such a mother, Yan Yong felt infinitely sad. He was different from others. His grandfather's family was convicted and his mother looked like this. Now it is very rare for him to be able to return to Beijing. I'm going to spend the rest of my life wandering outside.

Seeing Wang Xinru fall to the ground from a distance, he hurried over to help him up, "Mom, does it hurt?"

Wang Xinru looked up at him, her big eyes were blinking and she didn't recognize his appearance, "It doesn't hurt, my father said, I fell down and got up by myself."

Yan Yong felt a pain in his heart, "It's fine if it doesn't hurt, let's go back to the house."

Watching the mother and son leave hand in hand, Wang Yiyun sighed, lamenting that fate is tricky.

On Yan Bao's side, when he heard that Wang Xinru was awake, his heart was also complicated.He had thought that Wang Xinru would lie on the bed forever until the last moment when she hit the wall with her head. Watching her body deteriorating day by day, leaving a pitiful appearance, all the hatred in her heart disappeared.

But at the moment, she woke up again, Yan Bao had mixed feelings in her heart, and it was hard to say exactly what it was like.

"I see that you are not in good spirits these days, sit down, and I will feel your pulse."

In the center of the immortal, Ji Liu and Dai Mengyun were reconciling accounts, seeing Yan Bao's restless and pale face, he felt a little uneasy.

Yan Bao restrained his mind and said with a smile, "I'm fine, but I feel a little sad to hear that Wang Xinru became stupid after waking up."

Dai Mengyun lived in Yuzhou, so he didn't know about the entanglement between them, so he didn't speak at the moment, but just listened carefully.

Ji Liu put down the account book in his hand, poured him a cup of tea, and handed it over, "Don't think too much, Earl Yan sent her to the outer house to recuperate."

"Well, my mother took my unmarried sisters to the outer house two days ago. She was stupid by herself, and I was afraid that the servants would not care. She had been lying down for so long. If she didn't take care of her I'm afraid it's even more pitiful."

"You are so kind-hearted, it seems that you have followed Aunt Wang." Ji Liu said.

He and Yan Bao have two personalities, he repays grievances with sincerity, and repays virtue with kindness, while Yan Bao is the opposite of him, but this kind of person is the most easily bullied.

"Don't make fun of me." Yan Bao showed a smile, and his tone became normal when he spoke, and he was no longer depressed, "Have you checked the account, I'm a little hungry."

Dai Mengyun said, "Just now I have asked the fifth son to prepare the food, and it will be delivered after a while."

Looking at Yan Bao's pale face, Ji Liu was still worried, "Extend my hand, I'll feel your pulse."

Yan Bao stretched out his hand with a smile, "I'm fine."

Putting her fingers on Yan Bao's wrist, Ji Liu said, "If you have nothing to do, you should listen to the doctor, your body can't deceive you."

At this moment, the door was knocked suddenly, Dai Mengyun stood up and opened the door, only to see a half-grown child timidly looking in at the door.

Glancing at Ji Liu, he hurriedly said, "Ma'am, someone poisoned the back kitchen, don't let the second brother serve the food!"

With a heavy blow, all three of them turned pale with fright!

Ji Liu immediately stood up and ran out from the corridor on the third floor.

On the railing, Ji Liu paused for a second, and controlled her voice, "Everyone, I'm really sorry, Xianrenju has important guests today, and we don't accept individual guests for the time being. To express our apologies, all the drinks and food at the table are free of charge. Come back, everyone! "

Seeing Xiao Wuzi come out of the back kitchen with the dishes, Ji Liu said loudly, "Little Wuzi, don't serve that dish anymore, I want to adjust the taste, improve it and serve it to guests, and bring it upstairs."

Hearing Ji Liu's words, the others started to clear the place, Xiao Wuzi brought the dishes upstairs, Ji Liu whispered something in his ear, he nodded and hurried downstairs.

The sound of closing the door was so loud in the suddenly empty Xianrenju, Ji Liu turned around and said, "Who are you, do you have the courage to identify the thief with me?"

The reason why I choose to believe this child is because the person behind Xianrenju is the emperor. If something goes wrong, it is equivalent to sending the handle into the hands of the queen mother and the prime minister. He would rather lose today's profit to ensure the safety of these diners and the honor of the Emperor.

"Madam, my brother said that Madam's affairs are our affairs. Xiao Chengzi is already an adult, I dare!"

Yan Bao said, "Your name is Xiao Chengzi?"

Ji Liu didn't have time to ask in detail, "You follow me down first to identify the thief, if you really catch the inner ghost, you will be thanked for it."

Under Xiao Wuzi's message, everyone in the back kitchen lined up in the hall on the first floor, Ji Liu took Xiao Chengzi down the stairs, brought him to him and asked him, "Look who it is."

Xiao Chengzi carefully looked at the faces of the crowd, and pointed with his slightly fleshy little finger, "Ma'am, it's him! Ma'am, I saw with my own eyes that he sprinkled a bag of white powder into the soup when no one was looking. The paper was hidden in his belt."

The person who was identified was the chef of Xianrenju, who was in charge of soup. When Xiao Chengzi pointed it out, he turned around and was about to run. Zhu Changyuan fell from the sky and kicked him out. After falling like a dog and eating shit, Zhu Changyuan stepped on him.

Ji Liu signaled with a look, Zhu Changyuan turned the person over and found a used paper bag from his belt.

Seeing that the matter was revealed, the chef still had the heart to quibble, "Madam, I have been suffering from headaches all the time. This is just the medicine I take. Madam, please don't listen to villains' slander. I have been working in Xianrenju for the past few months, but Was there ever a mistake?"

Ji Liu sneered, "It's really easy to prove your innocence, little five, go to the third floor and get the soup and let Chef Zhao drink it. If you drink it without incident, I will admit that I wronged you and compensate you an extra 100 taels." Yinzi, if you die, I will not only drag your body to the governor, but also imprison your whole family!"

When Chef Zhao heard this, he immediately panicked. Drinking the medicine would kill him on the spot. He cried immediately, "No, no, Ma'am, I plead guilty. Someone gave me 500 taels of silver to do this! "

The complexion of everyone in Xianrenju has changed. They are restaurants, and the most taboo thing is drugging and poisoning. Those who do their business have their own rules. I will use it again, not to mention, what Chef Zhao poured into the soup today is the poison that directly kills people!

Someone brought a rope, Zhu Changyuan carefully tied him up, and secretly sent him to Fu Yin through the back door. This matter needs to be dealt with in a low-key manner, otherwise the reputation of Xianrenju will be ruined.

Cook Zhao was dealt with vigorously, and Ji Liu beat and threatened, "Cook Zhao is the first and the last! If anyone dares to tamper with the building in the future, even if my wife is merciful, the emperor will never I will not let you go, if you dare to play the emperor's idea, it is light to dismember your body by five horses, and it will even affect your family. From today on, you will be firmly remembered. Before my wife didn't say it, some people may not know it , this Immortal Residence is not only the emperor's inscription, but also the emperor's property. I don't care if you offend the sky, Madam Ben, but if you offend the emperor, then open your eyes wide and see what will happen to Chef Zhao!"

Everyone gasped in unison, and started whispering one after another. It turned out that they were doing their best for the emperor.

The beating is almost the same, and Ji Liu can't scare everyone. The way to employ people is to have tension and relaxation, "Don't be afraid, our emperor governs the country with benevolence and filial piety. If you do well, there will be rewards in the future."

"Don't worry, ma'am!" said one of the cooks, "Don't say it's for the emperor, it's for the boss next door. We people also follow the rules when we do business. No one can break the rules set by our ancestors! See you, chef Zhao. The money is open, but we are not that kind of people, not to mention that we are still working for the emperor, this... This means that there will be smoke on the ancestral grave!"

"Yes! We are no worse than the imperial dining room in the palace!" Another cook said, "Thank you Madam, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't be so lucky to enter here."

For a moment, both the cook and the waiter were all smiling, they were really promising, and it was a great honor to contribute to the emperor!

Ji Liu carefully scanned everyone's faces, and couldn't confirm for a while that there were really no villains like Chef Zhao among the remaining people, but there was no rush to catch the ghost, the most urgent thing at the moment The most important thing is to deal with the current problems.

Ji Liu said with a smile, "Of course I trust you, I don't doubt the employment, but I trust you, and I also ask you to trust me. In this case, the Immortal Residence is closed today, everyone cleans up, and cook Zhao uses Throw out all the things you have used, and throw away all the ingredients in the back kitchen today, and buy them again!"

While speaking, Ji Liu gave up his official accent and called himself "I" in order to increase the distance between the two parties.

Cleaning up and throwing away the existing food materials is to prevent the danger of residual poison in case there is any remaining poison. Everyone is excited and busy when they know that they are "working" for the emperor.

Ji Liu and the others took Xiao Chengzi back to the third floor.

The bowl of poisoned soup was still on the table, Ji Liu pulled out the silver hairpin from Yan Bao's head and inserted it into the soup.

The most poisonous poison in this era is arsenic, and arsenic will indeed turn black when it meets silver.

Sure enough, the slender silver hairpin had turned black when it was taken out again.

"Xiao Chengzi, you have done a great job!" Ji Liu turned around and smiled, her peach blossom face was shining brightly, "Where did you come from, why did you find that Chef Zhao poisoned the back kitchen?"

The back kitchen of Xianrenju has strict management regulations, and guests are not allowed to enter. What is the mistake that allowed Xiao Chengzi to see Chef Zhao's tampering in the back kitchen?

Xiao Chengzi said, "Ma'am, my elder brother asked me to come. My brothers and sisters and I took turns to stay here. It happened that when I came to change shifts, I saw Chef Zhao attack."

The three of them had question marks on their faces, and Ji Liu asked slowly, "Who is your brother?"

"My brother is Tian Yao. My brother said that he is today because of the few golden beads given to him by his wife. So after hearing that Xianrenju is the property of his wife, my brother asked us brothers and sisters to come over and look at it. , he said that this kind of problem is most likely to occur in places where food is sold!" Xiao Chengzi raised his face and said clearly.

Ji Liu looked at him with a pale complexion and clean and tidy clothes, but he still couldn't remember who the brother he was talking about was, and why had he ever given gold beads to anyone?

"Is your brother from the Northwest?" The only thing Ji Liu could think of was that he was in the Northwest. There were many people who had received his favor in the Northwest, but the kid's accent didn't sound like a Northwest person either.

Xiao Chengzi shook his head, "No, we are all from the capital."

"Young Madam, why don't you let Xiao Chengzi take you to meet him, maybe you will remember him when you see someone." Dai Mengyun suggested.

Ji Liu nodded, "Alright, when Big Brother Zhu comes back, let's go and have a look together, I really don't have any impression."

Yan Bao patted his chest calmly, "It's amazing! If someone really drank this soup today and killed someone, we'd have to eat it and walk away. Xiao Chengzi, where did you see that Chef Zhao poisoned you?" ?”

"It's at the exhaust vent on the backyard wall. The back wall of our house is just facing the exhaust vent. That's where we guarded it."

The three of them looked at each other. At that time, when building the building, it was considered that there was no air conditioner in ancient times, and the temperature of the back kitchen was high. In order to ensure that the back kitchen would not be overheated by the high temperature of the stove, Ji Liu opened somewhere on the back wall. There are three exhaust vents, the size of which can't even be passed by a two-year-old child, and they are only used for exhaust. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chengzi saw that Chef Zhao poisoned them.

"It's really God's will in the dark." Yan Bao said.
