Chapter 71 Saltpeter
Manager Ye smiled shyly: "My lord, these carriages arrived last night, and they will be loaded later."

Lin Yanyan walked to the carriages and walked around the carriages.

Her nose was sharp, and she smelled a familiar smell, saltpeter?

Saltpeter is also known as saltpeter, bitter nitrate, flame nitrate, fire nitrate, ground frost, raw nitrate, etc. It is recorded in "Compendium" that saltpeter tastes pungent, bitter, slightly salty, and warm.Enter the heart, spleen two warps.The warming traditional Chinese medicine saltpeter has the functions of eliminating filth and turbidity, attacking toughness and breaking accumulation, diuresis and purging excess, detoxifying and reducing swelling.Indications: hot summer cold, cold and heat vomiting and diarrhea, lumps in the abdomen, neck scrofula, blood stasis abdominal pain, jaundice and black jaundice, sand and gravel pain, headache, sore throat, conjunctival congestion, sores and swelling, etc.

Lin Yanyan continued to wander around calmly, smelling the smell of saltpeter on the three carriages.

Ye Guanshi insisted on being calm, everything had been cleaned up, even the adult could not see anything.

"Good day, what did you find?" Xiao Qian asked.

Lin Yanyan looked up at Guanshi Ye, and clearly saw Guanshi Ye's throat slid up and down twice, which was a sign of nervousness.

Lin Yanyan smiled faintly: "I didn't find anything, so I just took a look."

Then I saw Guanshi Ye heaving a sigh of relief.

Coming out of the second warehouse in the south of the city, it was past lunch time.

The three of them didn't eat breakfast, and they were already hungry.

"Let's find a place to eat first. Although we haven't found any clues, we still have to eat. Let's go, I'll treat you." Xiao Qian said.

"Who said there is no clue?" Lin Yanyan raised her eyebrows.

"What did you find?" Xiao Qian and Lu Zhaonan said in unison.

"Saltpeter, I smelled saltpeter from the three carriages, and the warehouse in the east of the city also smelled of saltpeter. It can be seen that they transported a large amount of saltpeter into the city."

Xiao Qian's expression changed drastically: "Saltpeter is a thing controlled by the imperial court. When saltpeter enters the city, it needs to be approved. It is only for medicinal and some special purposes."

"Yes, so there is a problem here. Do you still remember that I said that Meng's father used to work in a firecracker workshop, and three fingers were blown off. Meng Chao must be familiar with saltpeter, so he insisted on continuing to check despite Guo Yongli's scolding , I guess Meng Chao's death has something to do with these truckloads of saltpeter."

Lu Zhaonan heard the words: "Immediately arrest and interrogate the owner of the Shunchang Chariot and Horse Company."

"It's not that simple. Guo Yongli really reprimanded Meng Chao because Meng Chao inspected the convoy and caused congestion at the city gate? Or did Guo Yongli know what was in the carriage? Who brought so much saltpeter in? What do you want to do with the saltpeter?" ? This matter is very complicated and may involve a lot, so I didn't say anything just now, and let Guanshi Ye think that we have returned without success, so that some people can continue to act with confidence, and we have a chance to follow the vine."

"What you said makes sense. Fortunately, there is a clue. Let's dig deeper along the two clues of Guo Yongli and Shunchang Automobile. Let's go and eat first." Xiao Qian's confidence increased greatly.Lin Yanyan really had a way of investigating the case. He and Lu Zhaonan looked at it for a long time and found nothing. Lin Yanyan found an important clue after walking around the carriage.

"You guys go and eat, I have to go home first, I ran out in the morning without having time to explain anything." Lin Yanyan was thinking about the Zhu family's affairs, maybe the Hou's mansion has turned upside down by now.

Besides, if the three of them eat together, she will feel that she is redundant.

"Okay, I'll send someone to call you if there is a situation."

Lin Yanyan smiled wryly: "Can you change someone? It's not good to ask Guan Butou every time!"

Xiao Qian touched his nose: "Got it, today's situation is special."

After Lin Yanyan bid farewell to Xiao Qian and Lu Zhaonan, she rode back home.Walking halfway, I suddenly heard someone calling: "Young Master Zhen."

Lin Yanyan didn't react for a while, and walked forward on her own.

"Master Zhen..." The man raised his voice.

Lin Yanyan turned her head following the sound, only to see a carriage coming up later, and a person in the carriage opened the curtain and was looking at her shyly and coquettishly.

Uh...it's Wang Yiren.

Lin Yanyan hurriedly got off her horse and bowed her hands together: "Doctor Wang, good day and good manners."

"Mr. Zhen, where are you coming from and where are you going?" Wang Yiren was delighted when he saw Zhen Rian.

She had been waiting in Yuqingtang for two consecutive holidays, but she never saw Zhen Ri'an coming to see her, which made her empty every day, and her food and tea were not delicious.

"I just went to investigate the case, and now I'm going back to Shuntian Mansion. Master Xiao is still waiting." Lin Yanyan said this deliberately, afraid that Wang Yiren would say something to invite her, so it's better to invite her to drink tea by chance.She just wants to go home to eat and listen to gossip.

"Young Master Zhen is really busy." Wang Yiren was a little disappointed. She is busy with business, so it is not easy for her to delay him.

"It's your responsibility, you can't help yourself." Lin Yanyan sneered slightly.

Wang Yiren thought about it, and said: "Young Master Zhen, I will take a rest tomorrow, and invite Master Zhen to come to Yu Qing Tang for a cup of tea. I have a few questions for Master Zhen to ask."

"It won't be three days tomorrow." Lin Yanyan wondered.

Wang Yiren's ears were hot: "I haven't taken a bath for a long time, and I will take a rest tomorrow, so it's settled. I will wait for Mr. Zhen at Yuqingtang tomorrow."

After Wang Yiren finished speaking, he put down the curtain of the car and ordered the driver to drive quickly, for fear that Mr. Zhen would go back on his word.

Lin Yanyan looked at the carriage leaving quickly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, is Wang Yiren on the run?

It's about tomorrow, and I don't know how many things will happen tomorrow.However, contacting the Wang family is also a serious matter, so I should take the time to go there.

In an ordinary restaurant in the south of the city, Xiao Qian looked at Lu Zhaonan gobbling it up, and couldn't help but said, "I think you should stop messing around in Shuntian Mansion, you really want to do something, I'll arrange a leisurely errand for you."

"No, I'm not a person who retreats whenever I encounter difficulties." Lu Zhaonan said while pushing the food into his mouth.Horse egg, he hasn't been so hungry for a long time, his heart sticks to his back.

"Why do you have to embarrass yourself? I know you just think that investigating the case is fun, but you have seen the reality, it's not fun at all, only blood, dirty, sin..."

Lu Zhaonan said: "Who said I did it for fun? I think it's very meaningful to do this. The Meng family died so badly. I must investigate until the end and catch the murderer. I admit that I am not enough compared to Lin Yanyan. Look, but everyone has a first time, just get used to it in the future, don’t tell me to stop doing it, I don’t like to hear it, anyway, it’s useless if you say it.”

Xiao Qian smiled helplessly, it was the first time seeing Lu Zhaonan looking so serious.

Maybe it's because of Lin Yanyan, who is a jewel in front of him, that Lu Zhaonan is useless, but when he thinks about it, talented people like Lin Yanyan are rare, and he can't compare to him.After seeing such a bloody scene, Lu Zhaonan deserves recognition for not backing down.

"Okay, I won't talk anymore, eat slowly, don't be like a starving ghost." Xiao Qian picked up his rice bowl and started to eat slowly.
