Chapter 355 Murder is hidden
Although he had watched many movies and TV series about the White Lotus Cult in later generations, Xu Jin never imagined that two legendary White Lotus Cultists were standing in front of him at this moment.
As the saying goes, you are a guest when you pass by. Even though we were not familiar with each other, Xu Jin still smiled at Zhao Quan and said, "Brother Zhao is so polite. Let's all sit in the room."
As he spoke, Xu Jin motioned to Er Niu to take the fruit basket carried by Zhao Quan, then handed the basket of mushrooms in his hand to Er Niu, and ordered: "At noon, let the kitchen make a chicken stewed with mushrooms, and then make another one."
Serve guests with mushroom and fresh fish soup."
Erniu agreed and was about to go to the kitchen, but Li Shizhen suddenly shouted: "Brother Erniu, wait a minute!"
Erniu stood still and asked in a buzzing voice: "Little Lizi, what's wrong?"
Li Shizhen reached out and picked up a mushroom from the basket, put it under her nose and smelled it, then frowned and said, "This mushroom is poisonous and cannot be eaten."
Xu Jin was startled when he heard this, and Fan even turned pale. He quickly stepped forward and took a closer look at the mushroom in Li Shizhen's hand. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was almost scared to death by this little brother. This kind of mushroom
It’s called Baizhi, it’s non-toxic, and civilian women have eaten it a lot.”
Li Shizhen said seriously: "Auntie, you are mistaken. Although this tree looks similar to Baizhi, it is slightly different. Look here..."
Li Shizhen picked up another white mushroom from the basket and put it together, and continued: "Have you seen the real white mushroom? The gills under its canopy are not yellow, but the gills of this mushroom are not yellow.
It’s dark yellow in color.”
When Li Shizhen said this, even a layman like Xu Jin noticed it and nodded: "There is indeed something different."
Li Shizhen said solemnly: "Baizhi is non-toxic and can be eaten, but this kind of gills with slightly yellowish folds is highly poisonous and cannot be eaten. It is called Huangquan Umbrella. Just one plant can poison a cow.
People who eat it will go to hell, and people who are poisoned by this kind of poison die with a fake smile on their faces, so it also has another name: Smiling Nine Springs."
When Mrs. Fan heard what Li Shizhen said so eloquently, her face turned pale and she said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the imperial envoy, the women really don't know that this kind of mushroom is poisonous. The women deserve to die. They almost harmed everyone."
Xu Jin waved his hand and said: "Mrs. Zou, don't blame yourself. It is indeed difficult to distinguish between these two kinds of mushrooms. However, it is best not to eat wild mushrooms casually in the future. It is really too dangerous."
Although Xu Jin looked calm, he was also breaking out in a cold sweat. If it weren't for Xiao Lizi today, I'm afraid everyone would have to go to hell together.
Mrs. Fan was obviously very frightened. If the imperial envoy was poisoned to death today, then her whole family would not be able to survive, and it might even harm her family, so she kept saying: "A civilian woman will never eat mushrooms again."
It’s time to eat, well, throw away all these mushrooms!”
After Mrs. Fan finished speaking, she took the basket of mushrooms from Er Niu's hand and was about to throw it away. Li Shizhen quickly stopped her and said, "Auntie, don't be busy. If you throw it out, we won't have delicious chicken stewed with mushrooms for lunch. Don't worry.
These are non-toxic.”
Fan looked at Xu Jin in embarrassment, obviously afraid that something would happen and he would be held responsible. Xu Jin still trusted Li Shizhen's vision and smiled: "Xiao Lizi said it's not poisonous, so it must be fine. Mrs. Zou doesn't need to worry."
"Mom, I want to eat chicken!"
"I want to eat too, I haven't eaten meat for a long time!"
"I picked the mushrooms, mother, don't throw them away!"
"I don't want to dump it, don't dump it... wuwu!"
The six idiots all reached out and grabbed the edge of the basket, looking at Mrs. Fan helplessly. The latter immediately softened when he saw this. Although he cursed a few words, he still let go.
"Okay, don't cry. Brother Xu will ask the kitchen to make chicken stewed with mushrooms right away, okay?" Xu Jin comforted the six idiots with a smile.
Zou Laoliu, who was wiping his tears and crying, suddenly burst into laughter, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, we have chicken for lunch. Brother Xu, will you die if you eat chicken stewed with mushrooms?"
Xu Jin smiled and said: "These mushrooms are not poisonous and will not die!"
Unexpectedly, when Zou Laoliu heard this, he was immediately disappointed and said: "If he won't die, then he won't be able to see my father!"
Xu Jin was stunned for a moment, and Fan said anxiously: "Lao Liu, what are you talking about? You are not allowed to say such stupid things in the future."
"Mom, I'm not lying. Everyone says that dad is dead. I miss dad so much. I also want to die so that I can see dad!"
"I miss dad too, mother, why hasn't dad come home yet?"
"Yes, how about we die together and go find dad!"
Fan's eyes turned red, she covered her face and turned around to sob. Xu Jin couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This was all the bitter fruit of incest marriage. Zou Zhubo and Fan were cousins, and they had two children.
My sons are all idiots. It seems that if I have the ability in the future, I will have to implement a law prohibiting the marriage of close relatives.
Xu Jin patted Zou Laoliu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Lao Liu, don't listen to other people's nonsense. Your father is not dead, but has become an immortal!"
"Brother Xu, what does ascending to immortality mean?"
"Ascending to an immortal means flying to the sky and turning into a star. Your father is watching you in the sky."
The six idiots all looked up at the sky. Zou Da scratched his head and said, "But... there are no stars in the sky!"
Xue Bingxin, who was next to her, suddenly said, "Fool, the stars only come out at night. You guys saw them tonight."
The six idiots suddenly understood. Zou Daxi said: "It turns out that we can only see it at night. It's great. Then we won't sleep tonight and go find daddy!"
Zou Laoer frowned: "But we don't know how to go to heaven!"
Zou Laosan asked: "Sister Bing, do you know how to go to heaven?"
Xue Bingxin smiled sweetly and said: "Be a good person and you will be able to go to heaven in the future."
Zou Laosi asked: "How can I be a good person?"
"Just be filial to your mother!"
"Oh, then we must be filial to our mother from now on!"
A hint of impatience flashed in Zhao Quan's eyes, and he smiled and said: "By the way, be filial to your mother from now on. When you accumulate enough merit, you can go to heaven. Bingxin, you can take Zou Da and the others to the yard to play."
Xue Bingxin nodded, clapped her hands and smiled sweetly: "Come on, can Sister Bing take you to catch butterflies?"
The six idiots cheered in unison, and then ran away after Xue Bingxin laughing and joking. Fan was probably afraid that Xue Bingxin wouldn't be able to cope, so she quickly followed.
Xu Jin smiled sincerely and said: "Brother Zhao, Madam Ling is really a good girl with a kind heart. I thought she wouldn't laugh before, but in fact she is cold-faced and warm-hearted."
A strange color flashed in Zhao Quan's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Brother Xu has misunderstood, Junior Sister Xue is not my wife, we are traveling across the country as escorts, it's just for convenience that we match each other as husband and wife!"
Xu Jin couldn't help but suddenly realized, stretched out his hand and said: "Brother Zhao, please, let's go into the room and sit and chat." After saying that, he walked to the hall first.
Zhao Quan followed Xu Jin, his hands under his sleeves clenched secretly, and his veins stood out. A tempting thought lingered in his heart. As long as he palmed it down, this sour scholar's head would be like a watermelon.
The iron sand palm split open and brains flew everywhere.
Although this idea was very tempting, Zhao Quan finally gave in. Zhao Quan would not do such a stupid thing now and would not do it in the future. His ambition is the entire Ming Dynasty. As for Xu Jin
