Chapter 624

Fourth master was looking directly at the official document with a focused expression.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the woman handing him something, and glanced casually.

"You should know, Grandpa doesn't like to be disturbed while working."

"Oh." Ruoyin curled her lips, withdrew her hand, and ate the grape by herself.

Even let her sit next to him, still so serious.

If it weren't for his casual tone just now, she wouldn't be so casual.

At this moment, she sat on the side angrily, without saying a word.

Still eating grapes on his own.

Hmph, he doesn't eat, she eats!

Ever since, fourth master, who was concentrating on reviewing official documents, always smelled a faint fruity fragrance.

However, for the sake of not disturbing her, he didn't say anything.

It's just that the Langhao pen for writing is moving faster and faster.

After about a stick of incense, fourth master put down his pen, and finally finished his work.

Turning around, I saw a woman eating there non-stop.

On a pretty face, it looks angry and angry.

"What's the matter, are you angry with Master?" Fourth Master raised the woman's chin...... ................................................... …

August is the end of summer.

As long as the dog days are over, Ruoyin and others can go back home.

But before this, a very unpleasant thing happened.

At the end of the month, Ruoyin was reading in the gazebo, and Li Fukang entered the gazebo in a panic.

"Fu Jin, something is wrong."

It was rare for Ruoyin to see Li Fukang so flustered, so he put down the book and asked calmly, "What's going on, talk carefully."

"Fu Jin, just now the manager of the winery came to spread the word that...someone bought the wine from our winery and drank two people to death." Li Fukang said.

Hearing this, Ruoyin's heart skipped a beat.

Whatever the reason, it was two lives.

"What's the matter, isn't last year's wine still fine? This year is still last year's winemaking recipe. I can eat the grapes and it's fine. What happened?"

"Chen Guanshi said that the amount of arsenic is too much. You can eat a little to try it out, but if you make wine, after you drink it, it can promote blood circulation and lead to death from arsenic poisoning."

"Oh, what should I do then!" Liu Nanny frowned anxiously.

Ruoyin sat where he was, thinking about how to solve this kind of thing.

In the Qing Dynasty, there were no pesticides to kill or kill insects.

But ordinary people, in order to increase crop production, there is also a set of methods.

It is to use arsenic and some medicines, mix them in water, and make insecticide or rodenticide.

Such a method has long been spread among the people.

Moreover, last year's orchard also used this method.

At that time, she also noticed that the amount of arsenic used was very small, and it was not harmful to people at all.

In addition, it is not that after the medicine is sprinkled, the fruit is picked and eaten immediately.

It will be exposed to wind and rain, and the air will be diluted, so it will be even more harmless.

Thinking of this... An ominous premonition flashed through Ruoyin's mind.

Her intuition told her that someone was trying to kill her.

But until now, we have to think of countermeasures.

After pondering for a while, she ordered in a deep voice: "Li Fukang, go and tell Guanshi Chen to take the money to comfort the family members, and tell them that we will definitely investigate the results and give them a satisfactory answer."

In her previous life, she had read a lot of news, saying that the amount of pesticides in food was excessive.

At that time, she was still realizing that these people were too insane.

After coming to the Qing Dynasty, she always believed that the food here is safe to eat, as it is all organic.

But she never thought that one day, she would be this crazy person.

At least at the moment, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is so.

It seems that no matter where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

"But... What if this matter is not our problem?" Like Ruoyin, Liu Nanny always felt that this matter was not easy.

"Anyway, that's human life. We haven't figured it out yet. The first thing we can do is to appease the family members and let people know our attitude, instead of avoiding the problem." Ruoyin said.

There is an old saying: I don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me.

Those two people, although she didn't kill them.

But it was also because others wanted to harm her that they died.

Moreover, if the winery only knows how to evade responsibility blindly.

It will only make the common people look down on it, which is not the root of the matter.

"Fujin, Manager Chen also said that the vines and leaves in our orchard are starting to turn yellow." Li Fukang said.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? It's already autumn, and the leaves of the trees are turning yellow, and they are falling." Nanny Liu patted Li Fukang's head.

"Mommy, not only the leaves are turning yellow, but even the vines are starting to shrink, and some of them are dead."

Hearing this, Ruoyin hurriedly asked, "Is this the same phenomenon in the two orchards?"

"No, it's just our original orchard. There was something wrong with the fruit trees. The one given by the fourth master is fine." Li Fukang replied.

Ruoyin's expression was serious, and he felt more and more that he was framed.

Because the other party knew that there was only one orchard bearing fruit this year, so the medicine was given to only one orchard.

She pulled her lips, and said strong and calmly: "This is the damage of the medicine, that's why the fruit trees are sick, and the residual medicine on the roots and leaves has to be sprayed with clean water repeatedly. In addition, fresh running water is poured into the ground to reduce the residual medicine in the soil , Remember to dry the ground after draining."

In this case, it can enhance soil microbial activity, improve soil aeration, promote chemical degradation, and benefit root growth.

"yes."

"If some fruit trees really can't survive, dig out the roots. If there are completely withered branches and leaves, cut them off directly, and don't let them continue to harm other fruit trees. At the same time, fertilize the surviving fruit trees."

There are no chemical fertilizers here, but organic fertilizers from humans and animals.

"yes."

"The last point, and the most important point, is to ask Guanshi Chen to recover the original price of the wine sold this year."

"Ah?" Li Fukang looked up embarrassingly.

"Why, such a big thing happened, it should be easy to take it back, even if the wine is delicious, they dare not drink it anymore." Ruoyin said.

Li Fukang frowned, and said: "But if that's the case, wouldn't our orchard be busy in vain, and we would have to lose money to clean up the orchard."

"I know, even if you lose money, you have to do it. Do you know that arsenic is as fierce as a piss, and it is a deadly poison. Now two lives, who knows how many more lives will be caused tomorrow or the day after tomorrow , At that time, it will not be something that money can solve, and it is not something I can afford!"

As he spoke, Ruoyin patted the table with excitement, making a "bang bang bang" sound.

To express the seriousness of the matter, as well as her determination.

A few days ago, good news came from the winery, saying that this year's wines were all sold out, which was quite a fortune.

Who knows... In just a few days, a good thing has turned into a bad thing.

Now that things have happened, no amount of money can buy peace of mind and peace.

"Calm down Fujin, this servant will inform Guanshi Chen, do you...do you have any other orders?" Li Fukang knelt on the ground and said.

"Go and tell Chen Biao, tell him to report this to Fourth Master, hurry up!"

"Fu Jin, this can't be soon. The fourth master just left yesterday and went to Baoding to run an errand."

Ruoyin frowned, screaming inwardly that it was not good, because she always felt that the other party was coming for her.

He deliberately tripped her while fourth master was away.

Fortunately, Baoding is not too far from the capital city, and if it is fast, it will be able to reach the capital city in one day and one night.

Ruoyin stood up with difficulty supporting the table, and said, "No matter where Si Ye is, let Chen Biao report this matter to Si Ye as quickly as possible."

"Hey." Li Fukang slapped a thousand children, and then went out quickly.

Ruoyin was restless, pacing back and forth in the room.

It was less than a cup of tea before Li Fukang left.

There are unexpected guests at the house.

And this uninvited guest is not the first time to come back.

Looking at the guards in front of him, Ruoyin hadn't had time to say a word.

The other party showed a bright token, and with just one look, he drove her to the Forbidden City.

This made Ruoyin deeply realize that this time the matter was very serious, which was different from the previous seriousness.

In the past few times, after the guards came, they were polite and able to explain the reason.

And let her go by herself.

But this time, everything is very different...

After more than half an hour, Ruoyin was taken to Qianqing Palace.

Looking at the magnificent palaces around, the golden roof and red doors, the antique style makes people feel solemn.

At the same time, Ruoyin felt in a trance.

Just like when she returned to the Forbidden City for the first time, she felt oppressed and at a loss for no reason.

She was carried up the steps by the guards and looked ahead.

The pillars of these halls are all vermilion.

On each pillar, there is a lifelike golden dragon engraved in circles.

Golden dragons are only available to emperors.

Stepping on the top of the steps, you can see the vermilion door is open.

Over the door hung a plaque with a blue background and a gold border.

In the middle, there are three big gilt characters flying like dragons and phoenixes: Qianqing Palace.

Although she had come to Qianqing Palace countless times, Ruoyin felt that it was very strange.

When she reached the door, the guards escorted her directly into the hall.

Ruoyin hunched over, and entered the hall more embarrassed than ever before.

She could see that Kangxi was sitting on the gold-painted and carved dragon chair in the hall, looking at the world.

And behind him, there is a plaque with a black background and a gold border, on which are written "Fair and Bright" in four gold-plated characters.

On both sides of the surroundings are the prince and the prince Fujin.

They were looking at her in such a state of disdain.

It's like looking at a dying ant.

With a "plop", Ruoyin was thrown to the ground by the guards and knelt down.

"May the Emperor Ama rest in peace." Freed from the bondage, she knelt straight.

It was completely different from the embarrassed posture just now.

However, Kangxi on stage was completely different from before.

His gaze fell on Ruoyin.

His eyes were sharp and stern, like a sharp sword piercing through everything.

Immediately, he snorted coldly and said: "Fourth Fujin, you have disappointed me so much, if you don't take good care of the interior for the fourth brother, do business, there will be problems every day, and the winery will drink to death! "

Ruoyin was at a loss for words.

Wasn't it framed by the prince and his wife a few times before?

Just this time, it wasn't her problem.

But no matter what, she could tell that Kangxi still valued fourth master, that's why he used this disappointed tone.

"Huang Ama, my daughter-in-law just learned about this matter, and everything is yet to be reviewed."

"I ask you, did you ask your servants to mix arsenic and medicinal materials into water to poison the fruit trees in order to increase the yield of grapes?" Kangxi asked majestically.

"Huhuang Ama, my daughter-in-law didn't let the slaves do this, but I know they sprayed the fruit trees with medicine, because this kind of thing is also a common thing in ordinary farmers." She replied truthfully.

I only heard Kangxi sneer, and said: "It's a common thing, too much arsenic, and people drink wine to death, this is what you call a common thing, thanks to you ordering people to send medicine and wine to honor me and the Queen Mother, I and the Queen Mother. ...I thought you were doing legitimate business, but it turned out that it was something that killed people."

"Huang Ama, these things are too superficial. Think about it, the daughter-in-law only knew about it, why did the magistrate know about it, and even sued the imperial court to you."

As he spoke, Ruoyin casually glanced at the prince and his wife.

For some reason, these two have learned to be good.

No longer biting her like before.

Instead, he sat upright and watched the whole process.

As if this matter really had nothing to do with them.

Heh, if it weren't for the smug eyes of the Crown Princess, she would have believed their evil!

So, she pulled her lips, and said: "In addition, the amount of pesticides used in my orchard has always been very small. How could it kill people? Moreover, many trees in my orchard died. If it is to increase production, why kill all the fruit trees, isn't it superfluous?"

"I don't want to hear your explanation. Someone was drunk to death in your winery, and they reported it to the magistrate, implicating the royal family, and the magistrate then reported to me. Why, you, a sinner, still think it's wrong?"

A sound like a thunderbolt resounded in the hall.

Ruoyin shook her head repeatedly, "My daughter-in-law doesn't dare."

Immediately afterwards, two people were brought into the temple.

One is a middle-aged woman.

One is a young woman.

The two of them didn't dress well, but they didn't have a single patch on their bodies, nor were they rough clothes.
