He stood up and walked to Ling Duannian, "Put it down."
"Sister, I haven't drunk yet..."
"lay down."
As soon as Ling Duannian put down the tea cup, Baili Feiyue immediately picked it up.
"Sister, is there something wrong with the tea?"
Baili Feiyue glanced at him sideways, reached out and slapped him on the head, "You don't know?"
I don’t know, but I deliberately said I was thirsty. Wasn’t this just a reminder to her?
Ling Duannian touched his head and said, "Sister, it hurts a lot. I really don't know. I just guessed that maybe Tea Leaf had tampered with it. But those idiots around me couldn't find anything wrong with Tea Leaf...
…”
From the bottom of her heart, Baili Feiyue didn't want to lament that her younger brother was so stupid.
She concentrated on pouring out all the tea leaves in the cup and picking them up. But the tea leaves in the General's Mansion were just as she thought, and there was obviously no problem.
I have to go to the houses of those who have been poisoned to get some latest tea.
"Everyone outside the mansion has left?"
"gone."
Baili Feiyue took another deep look at him. He was able to drive away those stubborn people with just a few words. It was true.
"You should have tea from those people in your house, right?"
"Yes." Ling Duannian smiled softly, "How much does sister want?"
"Take about ten copies and send them to the Ministry of Punishments." He ordered and packed his things, "Xie Hua, go and ask the eighth sister if she wants to go to the Ministry of Punishments together. If you go, come to me at the gate of the house."
"Okay, miss."
After a series of arrangements, Baili Feiyue walked out of the house and asked Ling Duannian beside her, "By the way, how is the health of the child in your house?"
"I took the medicine you asked me to take before, sister, and now I'm completely normal."
Hearing what he said, Baili Feiyue breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid of the child's symptoms, fearing that it would be really troublesome if it was what she imagined.
Fortunately, it was a false alarm.
Soon, both Yaohua and Ling Xueer came to the door of the mansion together and took a carriage to go to the Criminal Department together.
Ling Duannian naturally stayed to visit Ling Sheng.
On the way to the Criminal Department, Baili Feiyue and the other two people really had to admire Ling Duanian. The streets that had been so riotous before had now restored some order.
When we arrived at the Ministry of Justice, Mu Shilang happened to be there.
Ling Duannian's speed in doing things was truly unbelievable. The tea he delivered arrived a while before Baili Feiyue and the others.
At this moment, Mu Shilang and Wang Shangshu were waiting for Baili Feiyue.
In front of him were twenty portions of tea that Ling Duan Nian had sent to him.
"Miss Ling San." Wang Shangshu's face lost the usual expression of an old fox and became more solemn at this moment. After all, so many people and the stability of Kyoto are at stake!
"Is there something wrong with this tea?"
"That's what I think. Do you two adults see what's wrong?"
Although Wang Shangshu and Mu Shilang always handled cases with a sharp eye, they had been looking at the tea leaves for a long time and did not dare to touch them with their hands. They really didn't see any problems.
This is just a very ordinary low-grade tea, nothing particular about it. It just relieves the heat.
Baili Feiyue took out a pair of gloves that were as thin as cicada wings and so soft that the material was invisible, and put them on before casually grabbing some tea leaves.
The original emerald green tea leaves have become darker in color after being roasted, losing their green color and turning into dark brown.
Use your fingertips to break open a tea leaf that has been rolled into a ball. There is nothing abnormal inside, not to mention that there is no dirt involved, and it is still clean.
Not to mention there were insects, not even a single moth's white-spotted egg.
"No?" Wang Shangshu also saw the situation inside and subconsciously spoke.
It's impossible not to have it.
Baili Feiyue threw away what she had grabbed, and picked up some randomly again to check.
However, no matter how you look at it, even if you break all the tea leaves thoroughly and crush the fried and curled corners, there is still no trace of the poisonous insects.
This is strange.
No, no, something is still wrong. Baili Feiyue and Wang Shangshu Mu Shilang said at the same time, "This tea is too clean!"
Yes, so clean!
Not even a scumbag.
Incredibly clean...
Even if the problem with the tea had not been found for the time being, Wang Shangshu made a decisive decision, "Immediately take my official sign to the Ministry of Revenue and various government offices in Kyoto and ask them to ban all folk tea produced in the past three months and collect it uniformly!
All the tea leaves bought by the common people must be collected!"
"Tell them how serious it is, and if they don't cooperate, they will be forced to take it away!"
Baili Feiyue glanced at Wang Shangshu, and it turned out that the people in the Ministry of Punishment were not acting according to common sense.
Although these measures are necessary, they should be reported first and wait for Emperor Jing to issue this decree.
Instead of one of them, the Ministry of Punishment directly issued the order...
Their criminal department actually has such authority?
This simply frightened her!
Also, let’s not talk about Mu Qing’s father. After all, Mu Qing is involved, but this Wang Shangshu also believes in her so much?
Such a big move to ban tea is not a small matter. It involves many aspects, and I don’t know how big a fight it will cause. This Lord Shangshu is really not afraid that this matter has nothing to do with tea...
I can't help but think of my father again, alas, I don't think about it anymore. Sometimes the trust of a close relative is really not as much as that of a stranger.
Wang Shangshu added, "After collecting them, find a sparsely populated place and burn them all."
He said to Minister Mu, "Master Mu, please write a memorial and submit it to Your Majesty."
"Yes, sir."
Mu Shilang blinked at Baili Feiyue and went to write the memorial.
Baili Feiyue was stunned by Mu Qing's father's action. This uncle Mu was usually elegant and personable. He didn't expect... to be so childlike and fun...
Also, with Mu Qing's character, it's normal that her father is actually a fun-loving person at heart.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at Wang Shangshu, "Sir, please prepare a big room for us now where no one will disturb you. Let's prepare first and remove the poison for all the lords of the Punishment Department."
Even Wang Shangshu was shocked when he heard this, and then he couldn't hide his excitement, "Can you explain it?"
Baili Feiyue shrugged and smiled, "Both adults believe in me so much. You must be able to do it if you can't."
Wang Shangshu immediately asked the few dozen people who were not infected by the poison to make arrangements, and said to one of them, "Put these tea leaves away first and don't touch them."
"Yes, sir."
Baili Feiyue looked over casually, and suddenly, her eyes focused on one place for an instant!
"etc!"
Upon hearing her exclamation, Wang Shangshu understood that she must have discovered something.
He immediately signaled the officers and soldiers who were trying to collect the tea leaves to move away.
Baili Feiyue went over and grabbed another handful of tea leaves, raised them in front of her eyes, and then crushed them with force!
Set them all aside on a smooth tabletop.
The gloved fingers quickly picked apart the broken tea leaves one by one, leaving only a few crooked and fried tea leaves in the middle.
And her eyes were firmly fixed on those tea stems.
