Chapter 44

Wei Yi also came to Xiangmanlou with two nurses.

Everyone at the door talked and pointed.

Through everyone's words, Wei Yi also roughly understood what happened.

Not long ago, someone died of poisoning while eating in Xiangmanlou.

A table of five people were all killed on the spot.

Now the county government came to investigate after receiving a report.

The gate of Xiangmanlou has been closed, and no one else is allowed to enter.

So Wei Yi couldn't enter either, so he could only surround the door with other people.

"What kind of food can poison people to death?"

"I heard that they ate poisonous mushrooms. There are poisonous mushrooms in the delicacies used in Xiangmanlou. Five people died on the spot."

"Poisonous mushroom, how could you be so careless?"

"No, according to the regulations of the guild, there are prescribed channels for the procurement of ingredients for restaurants in the city, and you can't buy them privately. How can you buy poisonous mushrooms?"

"Yeah, this thing is too strange."

"Well, nine times out of ten it was tampered with. This is nothing new."

"Now that someone is eating to death, shopkeeper Meng can't get away with it."

"Then it depends on the results of the investigation. If we can't find out who did the trick, then the cook must be mainly responsible. He might be sentenced to hang!"

"It's so heavy!"

"If you fail to buy it, the Shanzhen Guild will also be implicated!"

"However, this Meng's restaurant will definitely not be able to continue. If something like this happens, the guild will definitely remove them. The shopkeeper Meng may have to face huge compensation!"

"Oh, the Meng family is really miserable, and now there is only one restaurant left that can't keep it!"

"Hey, I heard that shopkeeper Meng's uncle passed away, so the last umbrella of the Meng family is gone!"

"No wonder, I said why something happened all of a sudden!"

"Oh, this world!"

"The Meng family is completely over this time."

"Yes, I will never eat Xiangmanlou's roast chicken again."

The crowd was discussing, and Wei Yi basically understood it from the sidelines.

He didn't need to think about it to know that Wan's family probably had something to do with it.

In the past, Meng Shuilian's uncle who was feared by the Wan family was the magistrate of the county, and at any rate he was also the official of one of the parents.

Now that Meng Shuilian's uncle passed away, the Wan family no longer feared, and began to kill the Meng family.

It's despicable enough.

However, he had just learned about Wan Zihe's despicable methods a few days ago, so he didn't find it strange.

The Meng family might not be able to escape this catastrophe.

The Wan family and the magistrate of Zheng County were already in collusion.

The county government came to investigate, and it is estimated that the final result will be very unfavorable to the Meng family.

As the people around said, the Xiangmanlou of the Meng family must be completely closed, and it will even face huge compensation.

It remains to be seen whether Meng Shuilian will be implicated and convicted.

It can only be said that this world is too dark.

After a long time, the door of Xiangmanlou opened again.

"Get out of the way!" The yamen servant shouted at the crowd to disperse.

Immediately, I saw a few yamen servants escorting a group of people from the restaurant and walking out from the gate.

Everyone's faces were full of fear.

Meng Shuilian walked in the front, her face was pale, her head was lowered slightly, her black eyebrows were furrowed, and her face was full of grief and indignation.

"Treasurer Meng!" Wei Yi called out suddenly.

Can't help but attract the attention of everyone around.

Meng Shuilian also looked at Wei Yi, her dark eyes seemed to brighten a little, but her expression was extremely complicated.

"Treasurer Meng, don't worry, the sky has eyes, and retribution is clear!" Wei Yi said with a firm gaze, and said loudly.

Naturally, he would not stand idly by this time.

When their Wei family was in trouble last time, Meng Shuilian helped a lot.

The so-called adversity sees the truth.

When the Wei family was most short of money, Meng Shuilian took the initiative to send 50 taels of silver.

You know, in this world, even between brothers,
50 taels of silver is also a huge sum of money that can only be borrowed by making a written document.

But Meng Shuilian didn't even mention when the Wei family would return it.

Moreover, the Meng family was not rich at that time.

50 taels is probably all that can be taken out on the book.

He will do his best to help you. Of course, Wei Yi can't forget this kindness.

Now that the Meng family is in trouble, he naturally cannot stand by and watch.

But Wei Yi also knew that he couldn't be too anxious right now.

It is necessary to wait and see the changes first, and see the actions of the county government and the Wan family.

Then decide how to help the Meng family.

However, during this period, what should be done naturally still needs to be taken care of.

The entrusted relationship also needs to be entrusted, at least to ensure Meng Shuilian's personal safety.

Wanjia, that old pervert, can do anything.

Hearing Wei Yi's words, Meng Shuilian's face recovered a little, and she looked at Wei Yi and nodded.

After Meng Shuilian and others were escorted away, several government servants carried the dead body away.

The last two yamen servants who left put a seal on Xiangmanlou.

After all the yamen servants left, the crowd also slowly dispersed.

Wei Yi also came to Wanjiange with two nurses, but when he reached the door, he stopped, took off the money bag he had with him, and handed it to the two of them, saying: "You two go to the county government first. , take care of it, and ask over there to help take care of shopkeeper Meng."

"Yes, don't worry, Master!" The two said seriously.

They can also see that the relationship between Wei Yi and the shopkeeper Meng is not simple.

He wanted to help the Meng family.

So after the two left Wanjiange, they went to the county government office first, checked and inquired about the news.

But after the two left the county government, they didn't go back to Wanjiange, but went directly to Guo's mansion.

He told Guo Pixiu about it.

"Very good, you two are very good at doing things, I know this matter well, you guys go back and tell Wei Yi, let him rest assured!" Guo Pixiu said with a smile.

It's not that he gloats, it's just that he always wants to make friends with Wei Yi.

Now that there is such a good opportunity to perform, he naturally cannot miss it.

The most important thing about this matter is that I can sell Wei Yi's favor and fight against Wan Zihe, so I can kill two birds with one stone.

"You go back to Wanjiange first, I will go to the county government to find my uncle later!" Guo Pixiu said.

His uncle is the head of the county government office, and he can be regarded as the second in command of the county government office.

After Wei Yi came to Wanjiange, he learned about the details and differences between the seventh-rank swordsmith assessment and the fifth-rank swordsmith assessment with Du Yujiang in detail.

Du Yujiang also told him in detail.

In fact, the seventh-rank swordsmith assessment is not much different from the ninth-rank swordsmith.

The content of the assessment and the content of the test are similar.

And there is also a corresponding sword testing stick to test the ultimate performance of the sword.

But the assessment of fifth-rank swordsmiths is different.

Although the swordsmith also completes the forging of the sword in a closed environment.

But other people cannot watch the whole process.

And the performance tests on the sword are also very different.

Except for some basic tests.

Five-jewel swords are different from one-jewel and three-jewel swords in two ways.

First: The performance stability of the sword in different extreme environments.

For example, if the sword is placed in a high temperature or cold environment for a long time,
Then test the performance and changes of performance to see whether its stability is qualified.

Second: the resistance of the warrior's blood.

As long as the warrior reaches the seventh rank, he can draw out the blood energy and pour it into the sword, so that the sword can obtain more excellent performance.

It will even have the effect of restraining evil spirits and suppressing ghosts and ghosts.

However, the long-term instillation of the warrior's blood will change the internal structure of the steel sword.

Over time it will make the sword brittle and may eventually be completely useless.

But one of the important performance characteristics of the Five Jeweled Sword is that it is not afraid of instilling the warrior's blood.

Even after a long time of blood infusion, the performance of the sword is still very stable.
