Chapter 199: Quick Death Strategy - Eat old chicken in summer, stew fish with wattle flowers, and eat moon-watching meal
Eel, eel soup!
In Yi Xiaotian's memory, there are three very important pieces of common sense recorded in ancient recipes.
Three strategies for quick death - eating old chicken in summer, stewed fish with wattle flowers, and eating full moon meal...
Let’s talk about the first one first – eat old chicken in summer.
It's about someone who ate an old chicken in the summer and died suddenly...
As for the reason, it is because free-range chickens eat centipedes and other insects in the summer, and toxins accumulate in the body for a long time...so they are fatal!
As for the thorn flower stewed fish and the moon-watching meal mentioned in the second and third items, they all point the finger at the eel, which is the eel soup that Zhen Luo said poisoned her husband with Zhen Jiang.
Is it also eel soup? Could it be related to the three quick death strategies?
"Miss Zhen Luo, please don't cry yet. Tell me in detail...the whole process of how your sister made and delivered this meal soup."
While Yi Xiaotian comforted Zhen Luo, he carefully understood the hidden clues in this matter.
"Is such that…"
Zhen Luo 1510 told how her eldest sister Zhen Jiang made eel soup and how to put it into a jar, the Jinglin forest she passed along the way, the scene of Jinghua flowers blooming, and her brother-in-law's lower abdominal pain after eating eel soup.
Then all the circumstances of bleeding to death from the seven orifices were revealed.
She even pointed out that after repeated tests, she confirmed that her brother-in-law was poisoned by arsenic.
Speaking of which, in order to help her eldest sister overturn the case, Zhen Luo did not hesitate to go back and forth several times along the way. She carefully considered every point and every detail, but she did not find any flaws at all...
Zhen Luo explained in detail, not only Yi Xiaotian, but also many guests in the entire wine shop listened attentively. It seemed that this case involved both people and the stolen goods and could not be changed.
Yi Xiaotian's expression was stunned. He repeatedly asked about the type of eel and confirmed that it was not "Wangyue meal"...
Speaking of which, this moon-watching eel is also a type of eel. Its body shape and length are larger than ordinary eels. Legend has it that every time the first lunar month reaches the full moon, it will raise its head and leave the water to look at the moon and swim endlessly...
This kind of mooncake food contains highly toxic substances and will kill you immediately after eating it.
Since this rule has been ruled out... then...
By the way, arsenic!
Yi Xiaotian suddenly remembered something. Since it was found out that Zhen Jiang's husband was poisoned by arsenic, isn't this... the proof of the braised fish with wattle flowers?
When he thought of this, Yi Xiaotian finally became enlightened, understood, understood everything!
"Miss Zhen Luo, I know what's going on!" Yi Xiaotian's eyes widened in vain...the eyes were shining with more and more confidence...as if he had seen through everything.
"Indeed, your sister is innocent."
Yi Xiaotian immediately turned around to look for Cai Zhaoji. "Zhaoji, do we have eels in our restaurant?"
"Yes..." Cai Zhaoji's little head moved repeatedly. It was about saving people, and she didn't dare to hesitate.
"Okay, let's stew an eel and make soup..." After giving orders to Cai Zhaoji, Yi Xiaotian did not forget to greet the waiter in the restaurant. "Go to Youjian Medical Office and ask Dr. Zhang Zhongjing for some Jinghua."
Jinghua is a flower that falls from the Jinghua tree. It is a perennial medicinal material. I think some medical offices have some in stock.
After Yi Xiaotian gave the order, naturally a wine shop clerk hurried to get it...
"Shopkeeper Yi, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?"
Guo Jia held his chin with one hand, and he couldn't understand Yi Xiaotian's behavior.
Yes, that’s right…
What Zhen Jiang is making is eel soup, and you find the eels... It makes sense to reenact the scene, but just because Zhen Jiang passes by a Jing forest, he will find Jing flowers? How does this make sense?
Yi Xiaotian did not reply...
Guo Jia looked into his eyes, as if trying to find some information from his eyes, but Yi Xiaotian's eyes were as calm as lake water, and as deep as autumn water... Guo Jia didn't see any useful information from them.
.
While waiting for Jinghua, Yi Xiaotian saw that Zhen Luo's eyes were still filled with tears, and reached out to gently pat her back... and whispered comfort. "Don't worry, your sister will be vindicated soon."
As soon as I finished speaking...
"Here, shopkeeper, here comes the wattle flowers." The wine shop clerk ran over quickly... He took out a delicate box, and in the box were the wattle flowers that Zhang Zhongjing specially picked two days ago.
"Okay." Yi Xiaotian nodded, and then moved his eyes to Cai Zhaoji. "Is the eel soup ready?"
Cai Zhaoji looked up at the kitchen and saw a cook coming out holding a small pot of eel soup...
Yi Xiaotian's expression finally turned serious.
"Everyone, look...this is eel soup, it is non-toxic." Yi Xiaotian's tone became meticulous. While speaking, he did not forget to take a sip, smiled slightly, and added, "Not only is it non-toxic, this eel is also non-toxic."
The fish soup is also delicious!”
this…
Man Chong, Guo Jia, and all the guests who were watching were a little confused...
How could they not know that eel soup itself is not poisonous?
But how can this prove that Zhen Jiang did not add poison to the soup?
"Shopkeeper Yi, are you trying to excuse the Zhen family?" Guo Jia first raised the question... "But this... doesn't mean anything!"
"Brother Guo, don't panic, please listen to what I have to say..." Yi Xiaotian's expression was very calm and indifferent. He raised his hand and picked up a piece of wattle flower. "If you know medical skills, you should also know that this wattle flower is also non-toxic...
"
As he spoke, Yi Xiaotian held the wattle flower in his palm. "Who dares to try it and prove it?"
"I'll do it!" Unexpectedly, Zhen Luo seemed to be very courageous. While everyone was hesitating, she had already stuffed the wattle flower into her small mouth and chewed it. It was a bit bitter, and finally...she swallowed it
Go down.
After a while, there was no response, as if nothing happened...
"Now everyone knows that eel soup is not poisonous, and wattle flowers are not poisonous either..." Yi Xiaotian continued to guide everyone's thinking.
Suddenly, with a shake of his hand, he poured all the wattle flowers in the small box into the eel soup...
At the same time, he asked. "So, let me ask everyone, if this eel soup is added with this wattle flower? Is it poisonous or non-toxic?"
Um...this...
Everyone was thinking for a moment.
According to normal logic, even if two non-toxic ingredients are melted together, it seems that they shouldn’t be poisonous, right?
"It's not poisonous, it must not be poisonous..." A customer raised his head, and then many customers shouted with great certainty. "It's not poisonous..."
"Okay..." Yi Xiaotian didn't argue with them.
He slowly raised his hand, quietly took out a silver hairpin from Zhen Luo's head, and then inserted the silver hairpin into the eel soup under everyone's gaze...
Gudu, Gudu...
Because the eel soup has just come out of the pot, it is boiling, still bubbling and fragrant.
But an incredible scene happened. The silver hairpin turned black, completely pitch black.
This...this soup...is poisonous?
Suddenly, everyone was shocked, including Guo Jia, including Man Chong... their eyes widened one by one, as if they were completely enlightened in just a short moment.
The Zhen family is not guilty...
This sentence came to Guo Jia and Man Chong's minds at the same time.
But at this moment, Yi Xiaotian's voice came out one after another.
"Everyone, eel soup is not poisonous, and wattle flowers are also non-toxic. But when these two come together, they can turn into the most poisonous arsenic in the world..."
In the impression, Yi Xiaotian also saw from a public account that eels are rich in the chemical element pentavalent arsenic (as20s), and wattle flowers are rich in vitamin C.
Speaking of which, these are harmless to the human body.
But when the two are heated together, they will undergo a chemical reaction and convert into arsenic trioxide (as203). In ancient times, the scientific name of arsenic trioxide was arsenic. You know, this is what Pan Jinlian fed Wu Dalang...
After thinking through this section, Yi Xiaotian's words became more confident.
"So, there is nothing wrong with Miss Zhen Jiang making eel soup as a gift to her husband... But the problem arises when she passes by a thorn forest, a thorn forest in full bloom, and pieces of thorn flowers fall off on the thorn trees.
Falling down, he just fell into the eel soup, and when the two phases meet, the tonic soup turns into a poisonous soup..."
"Miss Zhen Jiang's unintentional mistake adds to the infinite coincidence. In this way, do you guys think she is still guilty?"
Some crisp words, some sonorous and powerful testimony...
Yi Xiaotian's words echoed in the wine shop, and everyone was shocked.
I see…
It turns out that the eldest lady of the Zhen family had good intentions, but because God was not kind to her... she poisoned her husband by chance.
In this way, the eldest daughter of the Zhen family did not know about it in advance, and she did not plan any murder. The so-called ignorant person is not guilty... She deserves to be exonerated!
"Xu Duling, to be fair, if you were to judge? Miss Zhen Jiang, is she guilty or not?" Yi Xiaotian turned around and asked Man Chong...
"Not guilty!" Man Chong replied without hesitation. "This was not done intentionally by the eldest daughter of the Zhen family. It was just a coincidence. Naturally, she is not guilty!"
As soon as he said these words, it was like giving Zhen Yao and Zhen Luo some reassurance...
"Sir... Zhen Luo kowtows to you."
Zhen Luo came to her senses and fell to her knees again...knocking her head to the ground.
Yi Xiaotian saved her sister, then...that was her benefactor Zhen Luo's life.
Yi Xiaotian hurriedly helped Zhen Luo up. "Don't be like this, I just retell the case for a hundred years. Miss Zhen Luo, if you have the skills to kowtow, why don't you go back with your brother to save your sister... and restore your Zhen family's reputation in the north?"
?”
While talking, Yi Xiaotian handed Zhen Luo's silver hairpin back to her...
"Well, well..." Zhen Luo murmured... She took the silver hairpin and kept it carefully. She wanted to say a thousand words to Yi Xiaotian, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say a word.
"Okay, don't be stunned, go back to Jizhou quickly." Yi Xiaotian reached out and touched her little head. "Your sister is still waiting for you to rescue her..."
"Sir, I... I will go rescue my sister first." Zhen Luo's big eyes blinked repeatedly. "When I save my sister, I... I will definitely come back... to work for you, sir!"
After all, she is a girl, so she is quite thin-skinned, so it takes a lot of courage to say these words.
Yi Xiaotian smiled slightly without saying much.
It's just a piece of cake, not to mention making a bet with the smart Guo Jia.
In this second bet, Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao failed again!
