Chapter 21 Coming up with a plan
"There is a kind of pigment deposited on the silk, which will make the skin itchy after a long time of contact, which is a sign of poisoning. So when they wash it, they add a kind of grass called Linba, which can neutralize and expel toxins, so there is no problem with the finished clothes."
Lin Mobai's eyes flashed with a cold light: "And the merchant from outside the Great Wall concealed this point. This is our first time to purchase silk from the Western Regions, and we are completely ignorant of it. The people who handled it did not know that Linba grass was needed to detoxify, so they made it into clothes and sold it."
"Since that satin is poisonous, why are so many people flocking to it?" Shen Xuelan's beautiful eyes were full of confusion, "Aren't they afraid of causing death?"
After all, as long as one process is not completed, the result will be fatal.
"Mother, you don't know." Lin Ruqian slowly exhaled a foul breath, quite helpless, "The silks in the Western Regions are not like those in the Central Plains. They are all bright and eye-catching, with bold and unique styles. Recently, they are very popular among the ladies of Yanjing City, so I tried to purchase a batch. The response was indeed very good, and I made a lot of money."
"Who would have thought... that I had fallen into someone else's trap from the beginning!" His eyes were full of regret, and his fists were clenched. "Second brother, have you asked that foreign merchant why he did this?! Obviously, our Lin family has never withheld his payment for the goods. In order to curry favor with him, we even raised the price a lot!"
"I just wanted to test the waters first. If this method works, it would be a good way to make money!"
[In fact, if there hadn't been any mishap with the merchant from outside the Great Wall, judging from the sharp eyes of the third brother, the Shangchen Shop would have been selling like hot cakes by now! What a pity! What a pity!]
[I don't know how much money was lost. If it was foreign goods, would it be very expensive...]
Lin Baoer was very sorry and even heartbroken.
Hearing Lin Ruqian's voice, his face twisted slightly.
More than just expensive! He spent almost half of the shop's revenue to buy this batch of silk, and now the loss is huge. He even wanted to kill the merchant from outside the Great Wall!
"He originally wanted to make more money by hiding the truth, but later a group of people came to him and used threats and bribes to force him to keep the truth secret. They also gave him a large sum of money and asked him to leave Yanjing City." Lin Mobai narrowed his eyes and his right hand subconsciously touched the dagger on his waist. "But he was greedy by nature and was not afraid of death and wanted to make more money. So he hid from place to place and did not leave Yanjing City. He just found a place to hide, preparing to find an opportunity to blackmail Shangchen Shop later."
"It took me a lot of effort to catch him. Now I am holding him outside the city, awaiting his fate."
Lin Qiming murmured, "Have you found out who that group of people are?"
Lin Mobai shook his head, "When they met with the merchant from outside the Great Wall, they were all masked and their clothes were changed, so it was difficult to verify."
"However..." He hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly, "Under questioning, he said that he smelled a faint floral scent at the time, and the leader seemed to be a woman."
Lin Baoer suddenly had an idea: [I remember that the third prince had a maid named Hua Wen! She was a confidant of his mother, the princess of the enemy country. After the death of the concubine, she has been following the third prince and doing some secret dirty things for him! 】
In the original plot, Hua Wen was extremely cold-blooded and used all means to kill and set fire to people! Later, because she was in love with the third prince Song Chu, she was willing to be used as a sharp blade in his hand!
Several people looked at each other, and all believed what Lin Baoer said, and they all understood each other tacitly.
"It's useless even if we find out who is the initiator." Lin Zhiyu frowned, with worry in his eyes, "Many people have seen that those people were poisoned because they wore clothes from Shangchenpu. The poisoning is ironclad. Even if we find out the facts, we can't be half right. They will only think it is our fault. From now on, I am afraid that the reputation of the Lin Mansion will drop significantly..."
Then it will affect all the industries under the Lin Mansion.
Lin Ruqian's face turned pale, and his voice trembled, "So this is their idea?!"
First, disintegrate the financial strength of the Lin family from the business, and then gradually devour it.
"Mom and Dad, I..." Lin Ruqian no longer has the vitality of the past, and feels very guilty.
His eyes were slightly red, and he lowered his head, feeling ashamed to face his parents and brother.
For a moment, the atmosphere was depressed.
Shen Xuelan felt a little distressed about his appearance. Just when she wanted to say something comforting, the little man in her arms struggled and moved.
[What are you afraid of! Isn't it better to have no evidence? ]
Lin Baoer snorted coldly, her round eyes widened, and she directly opened the system mall to search for the thing she wanted.
Finally, she finally saw the small jar at the bottom, and the corners of her mouth slowly cracked.
Detoxification pill!
[Note: can detoxify 100 poisons, priced at 100 points.]
She was about to buy it with a wave of her hand, but suddenly she froze in place as if she remembered something.
This pill is 100 points, and there are so many people poisoned, how many should she buy to detoxify them all?
And if you calculate it this way, her points are only enough to buy three pills, which is not enough at all!
Lin Baoer suddenly felt so distressed that her teeth ached.
Oh, no, she hasn't grown teeth yet, and her chest was aching with heartache.
After a while, she trembled and asked the system if there was any detoxification medicine that was like powder?
At least it could reduce the budget a little.
As soon as she finished speaking, another bottle suddenly popped up in the system mall. Lin Baoer looked at the note below and slowly cracked her lips again.
[Note: Detoxification granules can only detoxify common toxins, priced at thirty points per bottle.]
That's it!
Lin Baoer exchanged two bottles in one breath.
And in Shangchun Garden, after Lin Baoer finished speaking that sentence, five pairs of eyes stared at her, all holding their breath, waiting for her next sentence.
But after waiting for a long time, the little person didn't continue to speak.
Lin Ruqian was almost so anxious that he shook Lin Baoer and asked directly, but fortunately he still had some rationality and knew that he couldn't let others know about Lin Baoer's special ability.
After exchanging the detoxification granules, Lin Baoer began to worry about how to hand it to them without anyone noticing.
[How should I give this medicine to them...]
She thought to herself in a deep voice.
Shen Xuelan was stunned for a moment, and after exchanging a glance with Lin Qiming, she pretended to be indifferent and hugged Lin Baoer into her arms, bringing her close to her face, "Baoer~Are you sleepy?"
Last time, their Baoer seemed to have detoxified her in this way.
Lin Baoer really took the opportunity to stuff the two bottles of medicine into Shen Xuelan's clothes, and yawned in cooperation.
Let's try it out! Dad and mom are so smart, they should be able to guess that this is a detoxifying medicine, right?
