He stood up and walked in front of Ling Duannian, "Put it down."
"Sister, I haven't drunk yet..."
"lay down."
As soon as Ling Duannian put down the teacup, Baili Feiyue immediately picked it up.
"Sister, is there something wrong with the tea?"
Baili Feiyue glanced at him sideways, stretched out her hand and slapped him on the head, "Don't you know?"
I don’t know why I deliberately said I was thirsty. Isn’t this just to remind her?
Ling Duannian touched his head, "Sister, it hurts a lot. I really don't know, I just guessed that it might be the tea leaves that did something wrong. But those idiots around me couldn't find anything strange about the tea leaves..."
Baili Feiyue no longer wanted to lament her brother's almost devilish brain.
She poured out all the tea leaves in the cup and sifted them carefully. But the tea leaves in the General's Mansion were just as she thought, and there was obviously no problem.
I must go to the homes of those who have been poisoned and get some of the newly purchased tea to have a look.
"Have all the people outside the mansion left?"
"Let's go."
Baili Feiyue looked at him deeply again, and those stubborn people were driven away by his few words. Really.
"You should have tea leaves from those people's homes in your house, right?"
"Yes." Ling Duannian smiled softly, "How much do you want, sister?"
"Take ten or so copies and send them to the Ministry of Justice." He packed his things while giving the order, "Yinhua, go ask Eighth Sister if she wants to go to the Ministry of Justice with you. If she does, come meet me at the gate of the mansion."
"Yes, miss."
After making a series of arrangements, Baili Feiyue walked out of the mansion while asking Ling Duannian beside her, "By the way, how is the health of the child in your mansion?"
"I took the medicine you asked me to take earlier, and now I'm completely normal."
Hearing him say this, Baili Feiyue was somewhat relieved. She was really a little scared of the child's symptoms, afraid that it was what she imagined, which would be really troublesome.
Fortunately it was a false alarm.
Soon, Yinghuan and Ling Xueer arrived at the gate of the mansion together and took a carriage to the Ministry of Justice.
Ling Duannian naturally stayed to visit Ling Sheng.
On the way to the Ministry of Justice, Baili Feiyue and the other two could not help but admire Ling Duannian. The streets that had been so turbulent before had actually regained some order.
When he arrived at the Ministry of Justice, Minister Mu was there.
Ling Duannian's speed of work is really not exaggerated. The tea he delivered arrived a little earlier than that of Baili Feiyue and the other two.
At this moment, Minister Mu and Minister Wang were waiting for Baili Feiyue.
In front of him were twenty packages of tea that Ling Duannian had sent.
"Miss Ling San." Shangshu Wang's face was no longer the old fox-like look he usually had. He was now more solemn. After all, this matter concerned so many people and the stability of Kyoto!
“Is there something wrong with this tea?”
"That's what I thought. Do you two adults see what's wrong?"
Although Shangshu Wang and Shilang Mu were always very sharp-eyed when handling cases, they looked at the tea leaves for a long time but did not dare to touch them as they really could not see any problem.
This is a very common low-grade tea, nothing fancy about it. It is just for cooling off.
Baili Feiyue took out a pair of gloves that were as thin as a cicada's wings and very soft, and put them on, then casually picked up some tea leaves.
The originally emerald green tea leaves have become darker in color after being roasted, fading from the green color to dark brown.
Use your fingertips to break open a rolled-up tea leaf. There is nothing abnormal inside. Not only is there no dirt rolled in, but it is also clean.
Not to mention insects, there wasn't even a single white moth egg.
"No?" Minister Wang also saw the situation inside and spoke subconsciously.
It's impossible not to have it.
Baili Feiyue threw away what he had in his hand and picked up some again to check.
However, no matter how they looked, even if they broke the tea leaves thoroughly and crushed the curled edges, they still could not find any trace of the poisonous insect.
This is strange.
No, no, something is still wrong. Baili Feiyue, Shangshu Wang, and Shilang Mu all said at the same time, "This tea is too clean!"
Yes, it's so clean!
Not even a scum.
Incredibly clean...
Even though the problem with the tea leaves could not be found at the moment, Minister Wang made a prompt decision, "Immediately take my official badge to the Ministry of Revenue and all government offices in Kyoto and have them ban all the tea sold by the people in the past three months and confiscate it! All the tea bought by every household must also be confiscated!"
"Tell them the seriousness of the situation. If they don't cooperate, we will forcibly collect their money!"
Baili Feiyue glanced at Shangshu Wang and realized that the people from the Ministry of Justice did not play by the rules.
Although these measures must be taken, they should be reported first and wait for Emperor Jing to issue the order.
Instead of the Ministry of Justice issuing a direct order...
Their Ministry of Justice actually has such permission?
This really frightened her!
Also, let’s not talk about Mu Qing’s father, after all, he has Mu Qing’s relationship with him, but does this Minister Wang also trust her so much?
Such a big move to ban tea is no small matter, it will involve many aspects, and I don't know how big a commotion it will cause. This Shangshu is really not afraid that this matter may not be related to tea...
I couldn't help but think of my own father again. Oh, I don't want to think about him anymore. Sometimes the degree of trust in a close relative is really not as good as that of a stranger.
Minister Wang added, "After collecting them, find a sparsely populated place and burn them all."
He said to Minister Mu, "Sir Mu, please write a memorial and present it to His Majesty."
"Yes, sir."
Minister Mu winked at Baili Feiyue and went to write a memorial.
Baili Feiyue was stunned by the action of Mu Qing's father. Uncle Mu was usually elegant and graceful. I didn't expect... that he was so childish and playful...
Yes, considering Mu Qing's personality, it's normal that her father is actually a fun-loving person at heart.
He retracted his gaze and looked at Minister Wang, "Sir, please prepare a large room for us where we won't be disturbed by anyone. Let's get ready first and remove the poison for the officials in the Ministry of Justice."
Even Minister Wang was shocked when he heard this, and then he couldn't hide his excitement, "Can you solve it?"
Baili Feiyue shrugged and smiled, "Since both adults trust me so much, I have to do it even if I can't."
Minister Wang immediately asked the few dozen people who were not poisoned to make arrangements, and said to one of them, "Put away these tea leaves first, don't touch them."
"Yes, sir."
Baili Feiyue looked over casually, and suddenly, his eyes fixed on one place!
"etc!"
When Minister Wang heard her exclamation, he understood that she must have discovered something.
He immediately signaled the officers and soldiers who were about to collect the tea to move back.
Baili Feiyue went over and grabbed another handful of tea leaves, held it in front of her eyes, and then crushed it with force!
Put everything aside on a clean table.
The gloved fingers quickly picked up the broken tea leaves one by one, leaving only a few crooked, slightly bent tea stalks in the middle.
Her eyes were fixed on the tea stalks.
