As he spoke, he found a small bowl, swept off the debris on the cinnabar stone, poured some water to dissolve the debris, and asked her, "Is there a silver needle?"
Mu Yun'an took out the needle bag he carried with him, then took out a silver needle and handed it to him.
Wuming put the silver needle in the water. When he took it out, the silver needle turned black.
Mu Yunan's eyes widened and he blurted out: "Is the cinnabar poisonous?"
Although cinnabar is also poisonous, its toxicity is special. A small amount of cinnabar can be used as medicine, but it will be fatal unless taken in large amounts, so silver needles are not useful against it.
Anything that can turn silver needles black must be highly poisonous.
Mu Yun'an couldn't believe it. She took another piece of cinnabar stone and examined it carefully. This time she finally discovered something fishy: "Is it red vitriol?"
The so-called red vitriol is commonly known as Hedinghong. It is extremely poisonous and will kill you if you take it.
If the red vitriol mixed with the cinnabar was not discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable once it was made into lip balm and sold.
Mu Yun'an took a breath of cold air. She hurriedly called shopkeeper Chen in and asked, "Is this cinnabar available?"
Shopkeeper Chen replied: "This cinnabar was delivered yesterday and has not been used yet."
Mu Yun'an breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Is this cinnabar still ordered from Boss Zhou?"
Shopkeeper Chen nodded: "Yes, the cinnabar we use is sent by his family, and I personally inspected the product yesterday."
He asked Mu Yunan: "Master, what's wrong with this batch of cinnabar?"
Mu Yun'an thought that he had not noticed that the cinnabar was mixed with red vitriol just now, and it was even less likely that shopkeeper Chen would notice it.
And judging from the look on his face, he didn't know anything at all.
She personally selected the people in Xiangxue Pavilion, and she could trust Shopkeeper Chen, so there would be no problems.
If it's not your own hands and feet, then there's something wrong with the source.
Mu Yun'an frowned and said, "This cinnabar has been adulterated with a highly toxic substance. Please inform the people below to temporarily stop making lip balm until I find out."
Shopkeeper Chen was startled: "Is there poison in the cinnabar?" He realized it and hurriedly said: "I'm going to notify my people right now and ask them to stop working."
Although this cinnabar has not been used yet, there is no guarantee that there has been any negligence. If this poisonous cinnabar is used in the workshop, it will be over.
Shopkeeper Chen hurriedly went out to give orders.
After he left, Mu Yunan sat in a wheelchair, pinched the cinnabar in his hand, and said in a cold voice: "It seems necessary to go and meet with Boss Zhou for a while."
Wuming raised his eyebrows: "Do you doubt the boss this week?"
Mu Yunan expressed his analysis: "Red vitriol is an ore, and Boss Zhou is in the ore business. It is not something ordinary people can do to mix so much red vitriol into cinnabar, but for Boss Zhou
It's easy to say.
But I can’t figure it out. I have no enmity with Boss Zhou, why would he want to harm me?”
She has also seen that this week's boss is a conscientious businessman, unlike those who cheat and cheat, and she cooperates with him precisely because of his character.
Wuming also felt that this matter was very strange. If he hadn't discovered it today, the poisonous cinnabar would have been made into lipstick. Once someone died, even Mu Yun'an's identity and the general's government behind her would not be able to protect her.
Therefore, this matter must be investigated to the bottom of the matter.
Wuming's eyebrows narrowed, and a stern look flashed across his eyes: "Then let's go and meet Boss Zhou for a while."
