Chapter 314 Steamed Pork Ribs with Black Bean Sauce (3)
"When did this tummy trouble start, because I didn't pay attention to it, it's not easy to find out, but it's intermittent, it's clear, but it started again in a few days, it's really puzzling." Wei Wei Fu said, "Coincidentally, there was a man in the neighbor who had a stomachache together. He was going to the nearby Xianyang for a few days. The whole family resting at home is even better, and it was only after smelling that I realized that he hadn’t had a stomachache in the past two days when he was out, so I knew the problem must be the food in his mouth.”
Because of doubts about food in the market at first, the family in the neighborhood hardly ate anything from the market in the past few days. All they ate was porridge made from the rice at home. This stored food was grown by the old parents in Xianyang After the man returned to Xianyang, he also ate the food stored in the old parents' house, which was produced in the same field, which shows that there is no problem with the food.
That's it... The only problem is water, but why is there a problem with this water? It is not surprising that a family was drugged in the well, but many people in Chang'an City were recruited, even those rich and powerful families who had guards patrolling day and night would also be recruited. Could it be that the guards at home Can all the family members eat dry rice?
What kind of drug-prescribing thief has such supernatural powers that he can attack the entire city?
"It's true that there are culprits, but the culprits didn't administer the medicine themselves." Wei Fu smiled wryly, shook his head, and said, "It's not others who prescribe the medicine, but the people themselves."
The water that the people in Chang’an City drank was all well water. After the small-scale epidemics caused by the unclean water in the wells in the past few years, the government has always attached great importance to this. Every few months, they will distribute dogwood leaves, realgar, Things like alum were thrown into the well water to keep the well water clean.
"A few days ago, the government happened to distribute a batch of water purification products," Wei Fu said, "and sent them to each house for the people to purify their own water."
"It seems that my family threw alum and other things to purify the water in the well water in the backyard before my family had a stomachache," Wei Fu said here, and couldn't help laughing bitterly, "Although the water purifying things are stained with medicine, the amount of medicine is shallow due to the large amount of well water. Even if all the food we eat in a day comes from the well water, nothing serious will happen. It seems that I spend most of the day in the yamen, and I only drink a few cups of tea at home. I can't feel anything."
So...some things that seemed weird at first made sense.
"The common people have a stomachache, and Dr. Xun prescribes medicine. Because they suspect that they have eaten something bad, they are more careful about what they eat. While checking and being careful about what they eat, at the same time..." Wei Fu said this, and helped him Er, sighed, and said, "Throwing more water purifiers into the well water, so... the laxative properties that have faded in the well will increase again, and this cycle goes on and on, and the stomachache It went on and on, without stopping!"
Therefore, the common people suspect that the water is unclean, so that they try to purify the water, but they do not know that the real source is in the water purification products distributed by the government.
Once we found the source, it was easy. Wei Fu no longer asked his family members to throw water purifiers into the well, and sure enough, he didn't have any stomach troubles since last night.
That's it... Wei Fu put away the water purifiers distributed by the government at home, and was about to send them to Dali Temple to find someone for inspection.
"The people who deliver the clean water to the door to door are all government servants and Lizheng. There are too many and mixed people, and there are people from all over the world who have troubles. It is impossible to buy them all." Wei Fu Said, "So, I think most of the problem lies in the source of this thing."
"The water purification products distributed by the government government offices to the people are provided by the internal affairs office," Wei Fu said, looking at Liu Yuan and others whose expressions changed slightly, and nodded, with a subtle tone, "It's the internal affairs office again."
It seems that there is a faint hand that merged the two seemingly irrelevant cases.
"I found out that the person in charge of this matter was a steward surnamed Niu from the Internal Affairs Office, so I went to pay a visit," Wei Fu said, looking at the crowd, his face slightly condensed, "unfortunately, I heard that a few days ago , this manager Niu has something to ask for leave and returned to his hometown."
so coincidental? One of the stewards of the internal affairs yamen involved committed suicide, and the steward Niu returned home on leave?
Years of experience in handling cases let Wei Fu know that there must be something wrong with this matter, but Guan Niu's affairs are not like Guan Mao's. With Feng Tong's body and the old city order's confession, he can directly let the people in the yamen go there. After the results of the investigation of the water thing came out, the Yamen of Dali Temple could be allowed to make a move.
Although the Yamen of Dali Temple could not be allowed to take action, this trip was not in vain. Wei Fu spent some money to manage the servants of the Household Yamen, and those servants actually took him directly into the courtyard where Steward Niu lived.
The two stewards of the internal affairs yamen were assigned to a yard, but steward Niu was given one. It wasn't that steward Niu was so powerful, but that the "housemate" who lived with him had moved out.
Hearing this, Wei Fu's heart skipped a beat, and a subtle feeling arose spontaneously, and he immediately asked who the "housemates" who were the handymen and stewards were, and as expected, when he heard the name of the "housemates", , Wei Fu's heart froze for a moment.
Hearing what Wei Fu said, and seeing the expression on Wei Fu's face, Liu Yuan, who was the most impatient, blurted out immediately: "The housemate is none other than the dead Guan Mao, right?"
Wei Fu nodded, looked at the "really so" expressions on Lin Fei and Bai Zhu's faces, and said again: "I don't dare to hesitate when I hear this, I'm afraid that if I don't go in this time, I'm afraid it will be bad if I go in next time. The scene in the house is about to change, so naturally I immediately gave money to the handyman, and went into the steward's house to have a look."
Liu Yuan couldn't help but snorted coldly when he said, "I'm afraid the room will have a different scene if I go in next time."
The death of Guan Mao is so strange that Lao Wei's worries may really come true.
"Boss Niu's house is very clean. The money and daily clothes are taken away, but the bed quilts are still neatly stacked in the house. This is very similar to 'going home to visit relatives'." It matches." Wei Fu said, "Seeing that the furnishings in the house are tidy and tidy, this steward Niu is considered to be a well-organized person. This has also been confirmed by the mouth of the handyman, and the steward Niu doesn't like people to help him clean the house. , Most of the cleaning in the house is done by myself, even if someone does it occasionally, I will watch from the side, meticulous and cautious."
Just such a meticulous, spotless person who cleaned up the house left something in the house.
Wei Fu pointed to the charcoal basin in front of Lin Fei with a lot of ashes left, and said, "This is left in the steward's house."
