Mrs. Yipin's Farmer's Wife

Chapter 612 Intricacies (2)
After the steward arrived, he explained the matter in detail.

Two months ago, a family in Jiangcheng County ordered a batch of wine for their daughter-in-law to hold a banquet. Just three days before the wedding, Lu's Winery delivered the wine, but the next night, Someone came from the yamen, saying that something happened to the four servants of that family who drank the batch of wine sent by the wine shop, and that there was something wrong with the wine in the wine shop.

These servants were originally guarding the warehouse. They slaughtered a dog that night, so they wanted to give the dog meat with wine, but they were reluctant to buy it themselves. They thought the wedding was coming, and now they stole a pot and drank it. The owner probably won’t find out. , But I didn't expect that something went wrong after drinking. The owner checked the matter after knowing it, and found out that they drank the wine secretly.

And every time the sky was still bright, only one of the servants died, and even this one was also in a coma.

The owner was shocked, so he sent someone to report to the official.

After arriving at the government office, the shopkeeper of the shop would naturally not admit that there was something wrong with the wine, and even if there was, it was just being poisoned. However, after being tested by the officials of the yamen, the symptoms of these people did not seem to be poisoned by ordinary poisons. As for why they died , but couldn't tell, and the work of the yamen and the doctor's inspection failed to detect that the batch of wine was poisonous.

No poison was found in the test. The shopkeeper thought that this matter had nothing to do with the wine from Lu's Distillery, but at this time the owner didn't believe it. He called two master craftsmen from Wen's and Zhang's Distillery to inspect the batch of wine, and the result was It's the wine that really has a problem!

Previously, Wu Zuo and the doctor did not check out the poison because they only used silver needles, and the problem with the wine was not because of being poisoned, but because of a problem in the brewing process. Drinking this kind of wine can cause discomfort at the slightest level, and poisoning at worst .

There was a problem with the brewing of wine, and the Yamen immediately sealed up Lu's Winery.

People from the Wen family and the Zhang family?
It is not impossible for the main family to find other people to check, but the speed is so fast... It is still from two families... Liu Qiao narrowed his eyes and had to think about the conspiracy.

Seeing her expression, the steward also understood a little bit, "Big boss, at first the villain also suspected that it was the work of the Wen family and the Zhang family, but then the villain begged the county magistrate to let the master chef of our wine shop Go check it out, the result is the same as what the Wen family and the Zhang family said! In addition, in addition to the problem with the sold wine, the same batch of wine also has problems. Fortunately, this batch of wine is only sold A batch went out, and the rest were sealed in the wine cellar." After a pause, he said with lingering fear: "This is if those people didn't drink it secretly, then the rest of the wine will also be sent to the shop. Not slaves but ordinary people..."

The consequences could be disastrous!

Liu Qiao felt uncomfortable when he heard this, but he had to admit that what he said was right. In this era, the lives of slaves are worthless, and now those who die are slaves. As long as the master's family is appeased, Even the Yamen would not take those lives seriously.

The steward looked at the owner's face, considered for a while, and then continued: "There is a problem in the brewing process, and we have no reason to prevent the yamen from sealing down the winery and shop. The reason for the problem, and later found out that Master Lan, who brewed this batch of wine, disappeared with his family..."

Liu Qiao narrowed his eyes, "Missing?"

"Yes." The steward looked solemn, "At first we suspected that Master Lan was just worried about getting involved, but after the second owner's family came, a thorough investigation found that Master Lan's family members had left before the accident, and the neighbors said they had returned to their mother's house. But the Erdong family went to Mrs. Lan’s mother-in-law’s hometown, but they couldn’t find anyone. People from her natal family said they hadn’t been back. Later, the Erdong family went to the yamen to follow the owner of the accident, and soon the winery and shop were unsealed. This matter has already spread, and more and more people came to withdraw their drinks, and even several restaurants and restaurants that cooperated with Lu's Distillery said that they would terminate their cooperation!"

"How will the second owner deal with it?" Liu Qiao asked.

The steward's expression was a little weird, "At first, the second owner also met with the owners of these wineries, but then the second owner received some news and went out for a trip, and after returning, he seemed to have changed...At first, he was very active in dealing with these things. After I came back, I didn’t care about anything, just stayed in the wine cellar all day long... the villain has been waiting for the big boss to come!"

"Can the distillery continue to operate?" Liu Qiao asked.

The steward said: "Too many orders have been returned, and now most of the people are resting."

"You order, the distillery will continue to operate normally from tomorrow on." Liu Qiao said seriously.

The steward heard the words, "Boss, now Pengzhou and even several nearby counties don't accept our wine. If we continue to operate, if we can't sell it and we can't recover the cost, it will drag down the wine shop!"

"The most important thing now is to tell everyone that Lu's Distillery is fine!" Liu Qiao said seriously, "There is indeed a problem with our wine, but we don't know what the problem is, and outsiders are more likely to Speculation, if the distillery stops again, isn’t it telling everyone that their speculation is true? If this continues, the distillery will really be dragged down! You have to know that Lu’s Distillery is not just the one in Pengzhou, even the one in Pengzhou If I can't save him, I have to keep the wine shop in Qinzhou!"

The steward's expression froze, "It's the villain who is stupid!"

"You're not stupid, you just have a sense of belonging to the Lu's Distillery in Jiangcheng!" Liu Qiao pointed out his question word by word, "Lu Zhan, I know you are from the Lu family, and I always remember in my heart that you are from the Lu family. Lu’s Distillery, but you have to know that the current Lu’s Distillery is not the previous Lu’s Distillery!”

Lu Zhan bowed his head, "The big boss taught me that."

"Give me the records and account books of the distillery after the accident!" Liu Qiao ordered.

Lu Zhan responded, and after a quarter of an hour, he brought all the things Liu Qiao needed.

"Tomorrow, the masters who brewed that batch of wine with Master Lan will gather together." Liu Qiao ordered, "I want to meet them. In addition, have you inspected the other batches of wine in the winery?"

"I've checked everything, except for the batch that Master Lan is in charge of, everything else is fine."

"What was he in charge of?" Liu Qiao continued to ask.

Lu Zhan said: "I have checked all the stocks, and there is no problem, and there is no bad news for the other sold ones."

"En." Liu Qiao pondered for a while, "Why were the masters of Wen's family and Zhang's family in Jiangcheng that day?"

"The old master of the Wen family is a distant relative of the family involved in the accident, and he came here to attend the wedding, and the old master of the Zhang family is a visiting friend." Lu Zhan replied, "The second boss also checked before, and there is no evidence It proves that they came here on purpose."

Liu Qiao lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, "You go down first."

"Yes."

After Lu Zhan left, Liu Qiao called Bai He, "Make me a pot of strong tea."

"Ma'am, are you going to stay up all night watching this?" Bai He asked with wide-eyed eyes, "But Ma'am, you have driven such a long way, but you just need to rest..."
