Now, everything is too late. He has missed the best opportunity to escape. The wealth he has already obtained will also leave him, and his future, no, he has no future.
Before Xu Changqing went to the Medicinal Food Building, he had already sent someone to report to the officials and presented the bowl of Zhi Sanxi as evidence of his crime.
Under interrogation in front of the court, Xia Tiezhu, who was afraid of pain and death, quickly confessed everything.
In the name of Third Uncle Xia Yuanqiu, he joined the Herbal Food Building as the shopkeeper. At first, because of his generous monthly salary and Boss Xu's kindness, he did his job for a while, but gradually, when the affairs of the Herbal Food Building were handed over to him, he He discovered that there were many loopholes in the experience of the medicated diet restaurant, and that the medicated diet restaurant made more money every day than he could have imagined, and he gradually became evil-minded.
I accidentally learned that there was a cook who could make a very delicious and deadly dish. The dish he made was obviously poisoned, but it was so delicious that you couldn't stop eating it. The poison was not very large and would not cause any symptoms in a short period of time. It takes a long time to develop, and once it occurs, ordinary doctors can't diagnose it at all, let alone treat it. The person has no choice but to wait for death. Once a person dies, all evil will disappear.
He tried his best to find the cook and brought him to the medicinal food building. At first, the poison he gave Xu Changqing was only a small amount, and it seemed to have no impact on Xu Changqing's body.
He saw that the business of the Medicinal Food House was getting better and better, and that a lot of gold and silver fell into Xu Changqing's pocket. He became anxious. He could no longer wait for the poison one day in the long run. He hoped that Xu Changqing could cure the poison earlier. So that he can get what he wants sooner.
So he asked the cook to add more medicine, and within three months, Xu Changqing collapsed. As he expected, even though Xu Yang invited famous doctors from all over the country, he was still helpless about Xu Changqing's illness. He suspected that Xu Changqing was poisoned, but he couldn't come up with a good antidote, so he had no choice but to leave it alone, saying that it was just a strange disease with no cure.
He had calculated everything, but he never expected that Xia Yuanqiu would suddenly visit and find out everything easily, even saving Xu Changqing's life.
Everything will be reduced to nothing.
Xia Tiezhu was thrown into jail and his sentence would be announced three days later. His wife was ordered to immediately return all the money Xia Tiezhu had embezzled while at the Medicinal Food Building to Xu Changqing.
The poisoned cook was also taken to jail and shared the same crime with Xia Tiezhu.
The officials found something in the back kitchen of the medicinal food building and presented it to the hall.
As soon as the thing wrapped in black cloth was uncovered, waves of strange fragrance spread out and penetrated into the nostrils of everyone in the hall.
This is the taste. The reason why Nazhi Sanxi is delicious and poisonous is Guan Jian.
Xia Yuanqiu stepped forward and took out a dark green rhizome from the broken black bag. It was strangely shaped and had cold tentacles, as if it had been in a refrigerator.
She asked the cook: "What is this thing? Where does it come from?"
The cook looked pale, shook his body and said, "This is konjac, bought at Luzhuang."
Konjac? The konjac that Xia Yuanqiu had seen before was not like this, and it was not poisonous.
Xu Changqing said: "I know Luzhuang. If you want to go, I can take you to see it."
Xia Yuanqiu nodded: "I really want to see the origin of this so-called konjac."
Xia Yuanqiu and Xu Changqing left the government office and headed to Luzhuang in the eastern suburbs.
Most of the shops are located in the city. There are a lot of people and there are naturally a lot of customers.
