Chapter 474 You shouldn’t look at him more in the crowd
Chu Nanzhi picked up the new pair of boots that Qi Yuhuan pointed to and looked at them carefully. They didn't look like they were old.
She smiled coldly: "Just now I said that Jiang Yushi changed into a new pair of boots at this juncture. You may think that I am looking for trouble, but now I have to bring up the old matter again. The boots that Jiang Yushi changed yesterday
They look like new boots that have only been worn for a few days."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but look down at Qi Yuhuan and Qi Yujie sisters: "The Qi family has a big business, so even changing a pair of boots every day is not a strange thing, but when I look at Madam Qi, the second Madam is not so pretentious.
I'm afraid the embroidered shoes I wore have only been worn for ten and a half days. Is it possible that Jiang Yushi, a military man, is so obsessive that he has to wear a new pair of boots every day before he can go out?"
"My husband came back from an outing a few days ago and his boots were worn out. I prepared two new pairs of boots for him. What's the fuss about him wearing them in different styles?"
Seeing her mentioning the boots again, Qi Yuhuan still didn't understand what she wanted to do. He sneered angrily. Then he gradually realized her intention and glared: "The surname is Chu, do you think he is my husband?"
Is it okay to kill Jia Ci?"
After saying that, he couldn't help but sneer.
This woman is really mentally ill.
Chu Nanzhi also sneered and replied: "Don't Madam Qi think that your husband's attitude towards you has been a little abnormal recently? If I remember correctly, my Highness was just the magistrate of Luyanggang County.
He beat and scolded you when your mother-in-law created quarrels and troubles. Now that my Highness has been crowned king, he helps you to plead for mercy and protects your sisters in every way. I wonder if he has ever treated you like this?"
Qi Yuhuan was stunned when he heard this, and weakly raised his eyes to glance at Jiang Xueyi.
She has also been extremely puzzled these days. Her husband's attitude towards her is indeed so good that she can't believe it is a fact. It is almost like a dream.
Tang Ru vaguely realized that Chu Nanzhi suspected that Jiang Xueyi had killed someone, and could no longer remain calm. He hurriedly advised: "Princess Pingning, it's just a change of boots, why do you have to keep doing this."
"Grand Governor, please do not underestimate these boots. They are not an ordinary pair of boots."
Chu Nanzhi put down her boots, pointed at the ten basins of steaming water on the ground, and continued in a slow tone: "Everyone present may not know about the dyeing workshop, but the comfrey in Cangshan Mountain is known to many people who entered the mountain today.
I’ve seen it before.”
Saying this, she took a few comfrey roots and squeezed them into one of the basins of hot water. The clear water immediately turned dark red.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Chu Lecture Hall began again in the late-night courtyard filled with white flags: "This is the original color of comfrey soaked in water."
Then he grabbed some alum powder and sprinkled it into the hot water. Everyone gathered around and watched as the dark red water gradually turned into purple.
Lin Tingyan held her chin and asked in confusion: "Niece-in-law, what do you want to do?"
"What I just did is the process of making dyes at the dye factory in Cangshan Mountain. The craftsmen there use comfrey and alum powder from the mountains to prepare the dye color."
Chu Nanzhi looked meaningfully at Jiang Xueyi, who was still calm and composed, and said with a gentle smile: "When I left the city today, I also found alum powder scattered on the ground on the path into Cangshan Mountain.
You probably won’t notice this when you leave the city, and what’s more, people like you who sit in government offices all day don’t even know what comfrey and alum powder are and what they are used for.”
Jiang Xueyi still remained silent, only secretly glancing at the pair of boots she had replaced under her feet.
Extraordinarily clean, with no clues to be found.
Chu Nanzhi took some more alum powder and sprinkled it into the two wooden basins nearby. She looked at everyone with a smile and said with a sinister tone: "Then I want to invite you all to come over and soak your feet. I went there today.
Is there anyone in Cangshan who is willing to give it a try first?"
As soon as Lin Jinxiao finished speaking, Zhang Yu, the army commander beside Lin Jinxiao, stood up first and volunteered: "Princess, I would like to take a foot bath."
Chu Nanzhi waved to him with a bright smile. Zhang Yu stepped forward carelessly and was about to take off his shoes. Chu Nanzhi quickly stopped him: "General Zhang, your thinking is too complicated. What I want is for your boots to get soaked in water."
inside."
"ah?"
Zhang Yu was shocked, wasn't he asking for trouble?
But the harsh words must be fulfilled, so he had no choice but to put one foot into the tub with a grimace.
After a long time, the water with alum powder added did not show any other reaction except that it became turbid.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Chu Nanzhi nodded with satisfaction: "Although General Zhang has been to Cangshan Mountain today, he has not stepped on comfrey, so there will be no traces of comfrey on his feet."
Then he looked at Li Ce: "Master Dianshi, do you want to try too?"
Li Ce stepped forward and put one foot in without thinking. After a while, the clear hot water began to turn purple.
"Li Dianshi not only visited Cangshan today, but also unearthed the corpses of Mrs. Zheng, her maid, and the groom. Her feet were stained with lithospermum roots. After high-temperature fermentation in the water, the residual juice and alum powder appeared mordant, and the color of the water became
It turned purple."
After Chu Nanzhi said this, Lin Tingyan nodded with sudden realization: "That's it."
The girls in this village really know a lot.
Examining the pair of boots in front of her, she began to worry about Jiang Xueyi's fate.
"Uncle Sixth Emperor came all the way from Jingling City. He must have never entered Cangshan Mountain, right?"
Chu Nanzhi looked at him with a wicked smile.
Although it is still unclear what the purpose of this man and Lin Tingkai's coming is, their arrival is really strange.
Zheng Haichuan was preparing to see him today. He obviously wanted to submit, but suddenly changed his mind, fearing that he might have something to do with the two of them.
Lin Tingyan's expression froze slightly: "Of course I've never been there."
"I guess you don't have time to go anywhere else?"
Chu Nanzhi asked again pointedly.
"None of them."
Lin Tingyan knew that she wanted to deliberately embarrass him and give him a warning, so he wisely put one foot into the wooden basin and actively requested: "I would also like to try what it feels like to soak my feet in boots."
"That must be very comfortable."
Chu Nanzhi sprinkled some alum powder in. After a long time, the color of the water only became turbid.
"Look, I have never entered Cangshan Mountain."
Lin Tingyan said, deliberately glancing at Lin Jinxiao who was expressionless at the side: "This hot water for foot bath is so comfortable, I would like to suggest that my niece-in-law let Jinxiao also experience the pleasure."
"He doesn't have to."
Chu Nan Zhiwen replied with a smile: "My Royal Highness has not recovered from his leg illness. How can he be so lucky to receive such a special treatment?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Lin Jinxiao had already quietly lifted one foot into the basin.
The two looked at each other with a look of mutual contempt.
Although Lin Jinxiao knew that she was teasing Lin Tingyan, he felt bored when he saw the two of them having fun.
Chu Nanzhi looked bitter and guessed that the pretty boy must be jealous.
I also blame myself for suddenly becoming a nymphomaniac when faced with a peerless man like Lin Tingyan.
Hey, you shouldn't take a second look at him in the crowd.
