Chapter 20 Silk Poisoning
  "Big brother!"

Outside Fuming Courtyard, Lin Ruqian rushed into the courtyard with an anxious look on his face and almost tripped over the steps at the door.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" He happened to be seen by Lin Mobai, who came to see Lin Zhiyu together, and couldn't help but reprimanded him seriously, "If other people saw him, they would think that I, Lin Mansion, Such is the etiquette!"

Lin Ruqian was too lazy to talk to him now, and said quickly: "There was something wrong with the batch of silk and satin that came in from outside the Great Wall two days ago at Shangchen Shop. Some people said that the finished clothes were poisonous. Many people have come to Shangchen Shop to ask for explanations. They even came with corpses!"

"What?!" Lin Mobai was shocked.

He didn't expect that someone would die!

At this time, the closed door opened from the inside, and Lin Zhiyu quickly walked out, his eyes fixed on Lin Ruqian, and his tone suddenly dropped, "What did you say?"

Lin Ruqian only discovered this in the morning, because Shangchenpu was a decent one among his many shops, neither making a profit nor losing money, so he thought of a way to purchase the most popular silks and satins in the Western Regions to make ready-made clothes. For sale, it is bound to be loved by the ladies in all the boudoirs in Yanjing City.

But after unloading the goods, he was distracted by the recent incident between the Lin Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he simply left the rest of the matter to the shopkeeper.

Who would have thought that something happened during this period.

When he wanted to take a look today on a whim, he found that many people had gathered at the door of the shop. They all denounced the poisonous ready-made clothes sold by Shangchen Shop. They even placed a woman with a purple complexion and unconsciousness at the door of the shop, making a huge noise. , attracted many people to watch, and almost alarmed the government.

The shopkeeper can't make the decision, so he can only come to him.

But this was Lin Ruqian's first time encountering something like this. He was in a panic and couldn't make up his mind, so he could only come to his elder brother for help.

After hearing this, Lin Zhiyu pondered: "Have everyone in the shop been under control?"

Lin Ruqian nodded, "I have closed the shop now, and I have sent people to hold the waiters and shopkeepers there, and they have not yet been interrogated."

The first thing that came to mind when this happened was that there was a problem among their own people. Lin Ruqian also understood some of the truth under the influence of his father and brother, so even if he was in a panic, he dealt with some basic things in an orderly manner before rushing back to Lin Ruqian. Mansion.

"Where did you get this silk?" Lin Mobai asked, "Is there something wrong at the source?"

"It shouldn't be." Lin Ruqian shook his head, "The silk and satin in Shangchenpu has always been purchased from a merchant outside the Great Wall. If there was a problem, it would have already happened. And when I inspected the goods, I checked carefully and found that there was nothing wrong. The question is, if the silk is poisonous, why are only those who wear it poisoned and not those who make it?"

"It makes sense." Lin Mobai sighed, "Then what should we do now?"

He is not proficient in business and can't think of a way at the moment.

After a while, Lin Zhiyu muttered: "Ruqian, first go and investigate the identities of those who were poisoned, and then check whether the batch of silk is indeed poisonous."

"As for Merber, I'll leave the interrogation of the Shangchen Shop clerk to you. At the same time, we'll check to see if there's any problem with the businessman outside the Great Wall. I'll report it to my parents first and see how we can deal with it later."

The two nodded and left separately.

In Shangchun Garden, the voice of the system suddenly sounded in Lin Baoer's mind, who was drowsy.

[Ding ~ A temporary mission has been released. Save the Shangchen Shop. The reward for completing the mission is 150 points. Does the host accept it? 】

This immediately woke her up from her drowsiness.    Shangchenpu? It sounds like the name of a shop, as if Lin Ruqian is in charge? What happened to this shop?
  After thinking about it for a while, she still chose to accept it. After all, for 150 points, fly meat is also meat!
  At this moment, Lin Zhiyu rushed in hurriedly, "Dad! Mom!"

After a long time, the whole story was revealed, and Lin Baoer fell into silence.

She discovered that this was already her second temporary mission since she came to this world, and it seemed to have nothing to do with the main plot. Was it because her arrival created a butterfly effect?

"You did the right thing. Now send someone to comfort the poisoned person first, and wait until the investigation results are out." Lin Qiming said in a deep voice, paused, and then said cryptically: "Don't let it cause trouble in Dali Temple at this time. Press it."

Lin Zhiyu agreed one by one.

[Is this another good thing done by that old bastard, the Prime Minister? But this approach doesn’t seem like it…]

Lin Baoer thought about it in his heart.

In fact, judging from the original plot, this is more like what the third prince did.

Because in the original plot, the third prince was impoverished because he was not favored since he was a child. Later, after devouring part of the Lin family's property, he had the capital to rebel.

But why didn't this appear in the original plot?

Lin Baoer was puzzled.

But her idea made Lin Qiming keep an eye on it, and he immediately sent someone to check in the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Third Prince.

Two hours later, the three people who left returned one by one.

Lin Ruqian said: "There is something wrong with those people who were poisoned. Most of them are new faces and don't often buy things at Shangchenpu. But just after the batch of ready-made clothes made of silk and satin came out outside the Great Wall, they went there one after another and bought several items in a row. A ready-made garment.”

"After further questioning, they claimed that it was just a coincidence. They got angry and kicked our people out without giving us any money. They seemed to just want to make the matter bigger. No matter how closely we looked at the people behind it, there were no clues."

"If this continues, people from the government will definitely know about it." He worried, feeling very guilty in his heart. This happened because of his poor management, and he was more or less responsible.

"And... I checked that batch of silk and satin, and it is indeed poisonous."

Lin Ruqian clenched her fists, frowned, and felt a breath in her chest, feeling depressed: "But I touched it at that time! The material was of the highest quality, and it didn't have any pungent taste. If it was poisonous, I would have been poisoned to death." Why is it poisonous after being turned into ready-made clothes?!"

[Toxins are not necessarily reflected in the fabric and smell. Maybe the gorgeous color is just to cover it up. 】

Lin Baoer had this thought in her mind when she heard Lin Ruqian say that those silks and satins were colorful.

Shen Xuelan knew that he was not at peace in his heart, so she touched his head comfortingly, "Don't be anxious, there is a solution to everything."

Lin Qiming didn't say anything, but just focused on Lin Mobai.

Lin Mobai said sternly: "Those clerks and shopkeepers have no problem, but the businessman outside the Great Wall, under my questioning, he told another thing about silk and satin."
