The Resplendent Farming Apothecary - Chapter 186

[Chapter 186: Toxic]

Jiang Zhongtian imitated her, first smelled it, and felt that the taste was not right, then broke off a small piece and chewed it carefully in his mouth. Suddenly, he spit out the dregs in his mouth, rushed outside and carefully rinsed his mouth with water, exclaiming: “Devil’s vine! How can the devil’s vine be mixed in Chaihu!!”

Gu Li’er leaned over and carefully Looking at the piece of “Bupleurum”, he frowned and said in amazement: “This looks no different from Bupleurum? What is the devil’s vine?”

“The devil’s vine is dried and cut into pieces, which is almost no different from the Bupleurum. But , Chaihu tastes pungent and bitter, but devil vine is bitter and astringent. If you mix it together, if you don’t pay attention, it will be difficult to tell the difference!” Jiang Zhongtian buried his head in the Chaihu and rummaged. There are so many Bupleurum slices, if you want to taste them one by one, when will you taste them?

“Devil’s vine… The name sounds scary. If you use it as Bupleurum, what will be the consequences?” Gu Li’er had a bad premonition in her heart.

Jiang Zhongtian smiled bitterly and said, “Devil’s vine, highly poisonous! As long as this small piece can kill people…”

“Ah? Then… what should we do?” Gu Li’er and Ying Gu listened , can not help but fade away. If they remember correctly, there are two big bags in the pharmacy, more than a hundred catties of Chaihu sliced.

And in this pharmacy, they have recently made Chaihu made of wine and Chaihu with vinegar, and they can put them in bags and send them to Jimintang as long as Gu Ye is in charge of the final drying step. If there is a problem with this batch of Bupleurum, the loss of the Gu family is not small!

“How did this devil vine get in? Could it be that when Jimintang delivered the crude medicine…” Ying Gu bit her lip. In that case, Jemintang is at fault, and Younggu is responsible for all losses.

Gu Ye shook his head and said: “The devil’s vine is cut into pieces, which are the same as Bupleurum decoction pieces. However, the appearance of this devil’s vine is very different from the crude medicine of Bupleurum. Not to mention the experienced medicine collectors, Even ordinary people can see it at a glance. So…”

“So… this devil vine must be in the Gu family and was deliberately mixed into the Chaihu!” Jiang Zhongtian waved his fist indignantly. He couldn’t help the conspiracy theory. Did someone, like Xing Lintang, see that Jimintang benefited from children’s medicine, so he touched Gu’s family and put devil’s vine into the Bupleurum decoction pieces?

Gu Ye thought about it and asked, “Have no outsiders sneaked into the pharmacy recently?”

Gu Li’er recalled carefully and shook her head affirmatively: “Gu Ying and I never left the pharmacy when we went to work. No one else was found to have entered the room.” The

pharmacy room was considered a “forbidden place” for the Gu family, except for Gu Li’er and Ying Gu, but also Gu Ye and Jiang Zhongtian were allowed to enter. Even Widow Li and Li Xiuhong’s mother and daughter, in order to avoid suspicion, stood outside the door when delivering the medicine and let Gu Li’er take it in.

At night, the doors and windows of the pharmacy are locked. Besides, with Ling Juechen and his few highly skilled subordinates there, let alone someone sneaking in in the middle of the night, even a fly could not escape their eyes.

“Could it be… that the mother and daughter were bought off?” After having been in contact with Gu Lier and Yinggu for a few days, Jiang Zhongtian was still relatively at ease with them, but the two in the backyard, he did not dare to make a rash move. in conclusion.

“Probably not!” Gu Ye picked out another piece of Devil’s Vine from the Bupleurum decoction pieces. Widow Li heard that they were going to open the workshop to Fucheng, and she had come to her quietly to inquire. What she meant was, let her daughter go to Fucheng and work for two years to earn some dowry money. She and her son stayed in Qingshan Village to serve the two acres of medicinal fields.

Gu Ye promised that when they got to Fucheng, they would let these skilled workers take apprentices, not only to double the wages, but also to bring out a reward! Widow Li also told her daughter to work hard, how could she do such a detrimental thing?

Someone buy them? Widow Li and her daughter are both timid characters. If they do something wrong, they will reveal their faults in a few words. They haven’t had any abnormalities in the last few days.

“Who would that be? Couldn’t it be a mouse or a lynx?” Jiang Zhongtian said to himself.

Gu Ye frowned, she was worried that the Bupleurum decoction pieces in the warehouse were also mixed with such highly poisonous things. Who is it that drives out such unconscionable wicked things? Is it Jimintang’s old enemy, or someone who is jealous of her family?

“Recently, has Mrs. Liu come to our house?” Most of the villagers in Qingshan Village are simple and kind, and few can do such a deadly poisoning method. After much deliberation, Liu Shi has a grudge against the Gu family, just like her method!

“No!” “I didn’t see…” Several people shook their heads.

Ling Juechen’s eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly said, “Where’s Xiao Zhuang? Has he ever been in or out of the pharmacy?”

Hearing that the Gu family was going to move to Fucheng, Xiao Zhuang ran more diligently here. , I came here every day to eat and drink, and begged Gu Ming, asking him if he would not walk? After Gu’s family moved out, he had to resume his tragic life of not being able to eat meat and fish for three months.

For this, he cried several times! He also ran back and told his father that he would adopt his brother and sister to the fifth grandfather and move to Fucheng to enjoy happiness together. He was scolded by his father as “unconscionable” and beaten so hard that his butt was swollen for several days.

“Xiao Zhuang? He’s only five years old! He doesn’t even know what devil vine is, so how could he know that it’s poisonous…” Gu Ye’s eyes narrowed and he paused, “Brother Chen, what do you mean… Liu’s use Xiao Zhuang, mix poison into my medicinal herbs? It’s like her way of doing things!”

Liu’s heart is wicked, or else he wouldn’t want to starve the original owner alive, and throw her on the mountain to feed the wolves. A few days ago, she wanted to get close to her, but was refuted by Gu Ye, and she held a grudge in her heart, using her son to travel to Gu’s house conveniently, and poisoning the medicine, which was justified.

“That kid, he hasn’t come to eat and drink for two days!” Ling Juechen expressed doubts. According to Xiao Zhuang’s temperament, if no one is holding him, it is impossible not to forget Gu’s family and run away. For the past two days, Gu Ye was so busy that he didn’t pay attention to the little guy’s movements.

Gu Ye’s chest was heaving violently, and she said to Jiang Zhongtian who was still picking the pieces: “Don’t pick it up! This bag of Bupleurum can’t be used!” Devil’s vine is very poisonous. Fish, that’s a big problem. Losing a bag of Bupleurum is nothing, I am afraid that the hundreds of kilograms of Bupleurum in the pharmacy will also be passive.
