Gong fight?Niang Niang, she dominated the cold palace by farming

Chapter 256 Chapter 256
Xu Ji was called back to the princess mansion because something really happened.

There is a problem with the salt supply in the Northland.

Although the table salt in the Princess's Mansion is also bought from outside, it has undergone special treatment by Xu Ji, so not only the quality has been improved, but the safety is also intact.

The table salt outside is different.

There has never been a shortage of edible salt in the Northland.

Because there is a very large open-air salt lake here, Beihu and Central Plains each occupy half.

It's not that Beihu doesn't want to keep it all for himself, but it's a pity that his combat power is not as good as his opponent's.

But no matter how much Beihu wanted to keep it in his pocket, he never thought of tampering with the salt lake, and their characters were not that despicable.

Everyone collects salt from the salt field, processes it separately and then transports it back to their own places, and they have always lived in peace.

Song Qingzhai's management of the salt lake is quite strict, and he never thought of taking all of the salt lake.

There is an edible salt processing workshop near the salt lake. Because it is directly managed by the army, the scale is quite large, and the edible salt produced is enough to supply the entire army and border residents.

Never had a problem either.

This time, the problem was not with the salt sold to ordinary people around, but with the batch supplied to Xu Cheng.

The salt was mixed with arsenic.

After the new salt arrived, they were all sold at Xucheng Commercial Bank. Originally, there was still stock in the store, but the couple who came to buy the salt was a couple who happened to see the new salt being delivered, and they insisted on buying new salt.

As a result, they both died when they went home for dinner.

If it weren't for the neighbors who came to visit, no one would know.

The inspection department immediately sent people to inspect it. As more and more people came to defect, the inspection department was also equipped with experienced staff.

The symptoms of arsenic poisoning were very obvious, and the author knew it at a glance. After checking the items in the house one by one, it was finally determined that the salt was mixed with arsenic.

Because arsenic, like salt, is white and mixed together, who would identify it carefully if it hadn't been known in advance?
Fortunately, the inspection department is very vigilant. Once confirmed, it will immediately send people to the firm to investigate.

The management of the commercial bank is very magnanimous, not only taking out the salt for sale on the cabinet for him to test, but even taking the initiative to wait for him to check the inventory.

However, the results of the inspection made the steward's face turn pale: a large amount of arsenic was detected in both the salt for sale on the counter and the new salt stored in the warehouse!
The matter was so important that the inspection department immediately notified Xie Qing, and Xie Qing notified Guo Shun. Both of them knew that they could not handle this matter, so they sent people to Song's house to ask Xu Ji for instructions.

When Xu Ji returned to the mansion, he saw the salt piled up in the courtyard of the Princess's mansion, frowned slightly, and asked Xie Qing, "What does the manager of the commercial firm say?"

She remembered that the manager of the firm followed her during the cold palace period, he was regarded as Guo Shun's apprentice, and he always acted safely.

Guo Shun was naturally reluctant to open his mouth when the disciple was involved, so he stepped back to avoid suspicion.

Xie Qing was very fair and authentic: "For the time being, there is no suspicion in Qizhuang. After investigation, not only is there a problem with the salt in the commercial firm, but also arsenic was found on the vehicle that delivered the salt today.

"However, things like arsenic can't be sold in large quantities even in pharmacies. Our side is strictly controlled. We went to the pharmacy to check, and their arsenic has not decreased, so the source is very confusing.

"The subordinates have ordered people to go to the salt lake to investigate, and it will take some time to get results.

"For the sake of safety, the business has been temporarily blocked, and we need to send people to inspect the goods inside one by one to prevent other things from being poisoned."

Xu Ji nodded, and called Xie Qing again: "You send someone to notify the quartermaster, and ask them to check whether the salt they received is correct."
