Nongmen Jia Niang: The little blessed wife of the general's family

Chapter 139 Poisoning
Although Aunt Fang was the person involved, she knew very little about what happened back then.

As for the apprentice who broke into Aunt Fang's room, did he really break in by accident?Or is there some conspiracy?
Everything that followed went smoothly, there were people in charge of the three shops, and Yin Tao took time to visit Zhuangzi.

Zhuangtou is an honest person and very responsible, so it can be seen that the princess specially selected good people for her.

Seeing that there was no problem, Yin Tao took a casual look and went back.

The embroidered building was almost finished, and Yin Tao led people to start decorating it.

Zhao San is responsible for buying things outside and looking for sources of goods.

The sellers in the store are all women, and Liu Er is in charge of teaching manners and etiquette. Auntie Tan is afraid of losing her job, so she studies hardest.

Shopkeeper Tong is in charge of the rouge shop, so Yin Tao doesn't need to worry about it at all.

One day, Yin Tao was directing everyone to place embroidery in the embroidery building, when a waiter from the restaurant hurried to the door, sweating profusely and anxious.

Yin Tao was shocked: "But something happened to the restaurant?"

Xiaoer nodded first, then shook his head: "Something happened, but it didn't make a big deal. Shopkeeper Hong asked me to come over and see how to deal with it."

Yin Tao explained a few words to Liu'er, and then went out with Xiaoer.

Since Zhao San drove out in a carriage, Yin Tao hired a carriage and rushed towards the restaurant. Xiao Er was sitting outside the carriage, so it was not easy for Yin Tao to ask, but fortunately, it was not far away and arrived soon.

At this time, it was the beginning of Sishi, and it was still early for dinner.But on weekdays, the store is already busy at the moment.

But at this time, there were only one or two people in the lobby, and when they saw Yin Tao get up and salute, their expressions were a little complicated.

The rest of the people disappeared, Yin Tao asked: "Where are people?"

They pointed in the direction of the back kitchen.

Yin Tao raised her foot and went to the back kitchen. Seeing everyone standing here, she was a little too quiet.

Hong Jun and the two stewards stood in front, facing the crowd, while a man wearing a chef's hat sat kneeling in the middle.

Seeing Yin Tao's arrival, Hong Juncai breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the man on the ground and said, "This man is Cao Qun, the back kitchen helper. When preparing dishes today, someone noticed that his expression was different from usual, and he was a little panicked, so they quietly observed him. He finally found out that he secretly put this thing in the soup pot."

Hong Jun took out half a pack of medicinal powder and showed it to Yin Tao, but he didn't hand it over to Yin Tao.

"I don't know what the medicine powder is, so please don't touch Guanshi Yin."

Yin Tao nodded, her face was condensed, her eyes were slightly narrowed, she had a calmness and restraint different from this age!
She stood in front of Cao Qun, looked down at the person in front of her,

"Tell me, who gave it to you? Why did you do this? If you have excuses, maybe I will let you go. If not, don't blame me for being cruel."

Cao Qun trembled when he heard the words, looked up at Yin Tao, was startled by the fierceness in Yin Tao's eyes, immediately lowered his head, but bit his lips tightly and refused to speak.

Yin Tao sneered and said, "You signed a contract when you came to our restaurant; I know everything about your family."

Cao Qun suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashed with horror, his lips parted, and finally closed again, drooping down.

Yin Tao said indifferently: "Since you don't say anything, we can't use private actions. Hong Jun, send him to the government. I'll go to the palace and ask how to deal with this matter?"

Cao Qun was taken aback, he didn't expect Yin Tao to be so impatient, why would he send him to the government after just a few words?
He was terrified, and he didn't hide his panic anymore, and hurriedly said: "I said, I said, Manager Yin, I said everything, don't send me to the government!"

"I was also forced. Last night, several men in black with their faces covered broke into my house and tied up my mother and two children. They told me to put this in the meal I made today."

Cao Qun climbed two steps forward, looked up at Yin Tao, wept bitterly, and continued talking in a distressed manner.

"I really have no choice. However, they said that this will not kill people. They just make people have diarrhea, but they just make the restaurant pay some money."

After Cao Qun finished speaking, he looked at Yin Tao expectantly.

Yin Tao said coldly: "Why didn't you inform shopkeeper Hong in advance? Is it possible that if you help them once, there will be no second time? Also, do you really believe that eating dead people can't kill them? Then if eating dead people so what?"

Cao Qun froze for a moment, then kept begging for mercy.

Yin Tao said to Hong Jun: "Divide this medicinal powder into several parts, take it to a few more medical clinics for inspection, and find out what it is?"

Then he asked the head chef, "Apart from soup, is there any problem with other dishes?"

The supervisor shook his head: "No, I have checked everything carefully, and we all have a clear division of labor, and we are very strict in the areas we manage."

Yin Tao pondered for a moment, looked around everyone, and said coldly: "In the future, no matter what happens to you, you can first agree to it, and then come to discuss it with us. Behind our restaurant is Kang Wang's mansion. What else do you have to be afraid of?"

After finishing speaking, he said to Hong Jun again: "Master Hong, take this man upstairs."

Hong Jun found someone to drag the limp Cao Qun up, bound him tightly and threw him into the office.

Yin Tao and Hong Jun stayed behind, and after closing the door, Yin Tao sat down, looked at Cao Qun expressionlessly, and did not speak.

The long silence made Cao Qun, who is in his 30s, panic even more.

"Boss Yin, what I said is true. My family members were really held hostage by them. There is nothing I can do about it!"

Yin Tao smiled, but it didn't make Cao Qun feel at ease, on the contrary, he was even more frightened.

"In that case, tell me all the details. Did the other party say who it is?"

"The other party is covering their faces and wearing black clothes, so they really can't see their faces clearly."

"Is it still at your house now?"

"It's gone, I took him away last night, the little one really has nothing to do."

Hong Jun wrote down everything that happened, and asked Cao Qun to press his fingerprints.

When I went out to test the powder and came back, I only said that it was a mixture of several kinds of medicinal materials, and eating it would not kill people, but it would make people suffer from unbearable abdominal pain.It will gradually improve after two or three days, and there is no medicine to cure it.

Yin Tao thought for a while, and said to Hong Jun: "The other party will definitely send people to make trouble today. No matter what, it will damage the reputation of the restaurant. Why don't you close the door today and take a rest. Just clean every corner carefully."

Hong Jun nodded: "I think so too, keep the ingredients that can be kept, and let the big guys take home what can't be kept?"

"Okay, it's up to you. Send someone to watch him, and I'll go to the palace. I still need to ask side concubine Feng what she thinks at this time and in the future!"

Yin Tao got up and went to the palace, closed the door with Feng Wansu and talked for a long time before being sent out by Qiu Ye.

Today, the restaurant put up a sign to rest, and everyone went home in the afternoon, and they were all warned not to reveal it.

As soon as Yin Tao came out, she saw Hong Jun waiting outside the palace in a carriage.

"Everyone is on vacation today. I followed Cao Qun to his house, and everyone in the family let them go. It was true that someone broke into his house last night."

"I won't hold him accountable for this matter, but it can't be used anymore. Resign!"

Seeing that Hong Jun nodded, he asked again: "Is there any news from your relative?" Yin Tao sat in the carriage and opened the carriage door to talk to Hong Jun.

Hong Jun said: "He will come to my house tonight, why don't Manager Yin go over and meet him?"

"Alright, let's go directly!"
