Antique food: The general dotes on his lucky wife

Chapter 251 Poisoning and causing trouble

Chen Xi's travel is now the most important thing in the Lin family!

Originally, Lin Changqing arranged eight guards for Chen Xi. Together with the Dong family brothers and sisters, ten people were enough to protect Chen Xi for a while in Yunzhou City.

There are Qinglang Camp spies everywhere in Yunzhou City. Once anything unexpected happens to Chen Xi, the Qinglang Camp soldiers will get the news immediately and send a message to the nearby Qinglang Camp soldiers so that they can quickly come to rescue.

Therefore, Chen Xi's safety is not a problem.

But now because Chen Xi is pregnant, the original eight guards have increased to twelve. In addition to the Dong family brothers and sisters, there are also Meng family brothers and sisters, a total of eighteen people. They are keeping an eye on Chen Xi to ensure that she will never be harmed in the slightest. s damage!

In addition, Chen Xi is pregnant. This news has not spread to the outside world, but there have been new upgrades in terms of the number of guards and the specifications of the carriage.

The carriage Chen Xi traveled in was larger than the previous carriage, and the original two horses were replaced by three horses.

Although there is nothing special about the carriage from its appearance, the body of the carriage actually has patches to protect it from arrows shot from dark places.

The inside of the carriage is also softly paved, so it is important to ensure that Chen Xi is comfortable in the carriage and does not feel uncomfortable at all.

Although the carriage had become larger, it was still simple and low-key, so it did not attract the attention of the people.

However, some "careful people" found that the number of guards around the Huaishan County Lord increased, and they couldn't help but wonder whether the previous affairs of Tubo made the County Lord feel insecure, so he increased the number of guards around him.

People who have no intentions towards Chen Xi have no idea about it. People who have intentions towards Chen Xi can only temporarily

It's time to suppress your intentions.

Everyone knows that the guards around the Huaishan County Lord are definitely the best selected from the Qinglang Camp. The Qinglang Camp is so famous that even today, no one in Yunzhou City has seen the bravery and proficiency of the Qinglang Camp. No one dares to test the power of Qinglang Camp easily.

Chen Xi was swaying on the carriage, and it took him longer than usual to get to the store.

When she got off the carriage, she barely moved. It was Dong Baozhen and Meng He who helped her get off.

After landing smoothly, Dong Baoshan and Meng Tian stood in front of and behind them, with their own guards going to clear the way, and they would never give anyone a chance to surprise.

Chen Xi entered the store and was immediately greeted by the shopkeeper. The customers in the store also looked curiously while eating.

Chen Xi smiled tenderly at everyone, and then led him to the hidden exclusive private room under the leadership of the shopkeeper.

"Have you found anything in the past two days?"

The shopkeeper immediately understood what Chen Xi was asking, bowed and replied: "Already have some clues?"

"Oh, let's hear it."

"There is a Sanwei Teahouse next to Wanhe Building. There are people who talk about storytelling in the Sanwei Teahouse. Some time ago, a middle-aged man named 'Tong Xiucai' held a storytelling session there. In the storytelling, hibiscus ointment was mentioned, saying this This thing is a good thing, it is hard to buy for a thousand dollars, and ordinary people have no chance to come across it. This thing is like an elixir. You will feel ecstasy after eating it, and you can taste the bliss of the world. The disadvantage is that this thing is hard to find, and you will never forget it after eating it once. It’s hard to find a next time, and in the end it will drive people crazy with anxiety!”

The shopkeeper paused here, looked up at Chen Xi, and then scanned the other people in the room.

At a glance, he found that Chen Xi did not stop him, so the shopkeeper continued.

"Later, I don't know who mentioned it and said, aren't these the buns and cakes from Chenji Bun Shop? They taste really good. After eating it once, I want to eat it a second time. I feel scratchy when I can't eat it. I thought, I have to take this bite into my mouth to feel at ease. So later, some people joked that we added this hibiscus paste, but some people also said that hibiscus paste is hard to find, and our buns and cakes only cost a few pennies. How could hibiscus paste be added? Then some people asked whether herbs or spices similar to hibiscus paste were added, otherwise why would it taste so good? Everyone didn’t believe that ordinary food could taste like this, and the rumors became more and more intense."

After listening to the shopkeeper's words, the brothers and sisters from the Dong family and the Meng family in the room looked at each other, and they all saw caution in each other's eyes.

If someone really believes that Chen Ji’s food has medicinal ingredients added to it, will someone later deliberately say that something went wrong after eating Chen Ji’s food?

People in the Dai Viet Dynasty still know very little about things like hibiscus paste. Only people like Lin Changqing, who are deep in the center of power, may know something about it. Most people have heard of hibiscus paste, even if some storytellers say it is so magical and magical. It’s amazing, but everyone will just think it’s an exaggeration, someone made it up, and won’t take it seriously.

Chen Xi asked the shopkeeper: "Does Tong Xiucai know his whereabouts?"

The shopkeeper shook his head: "I don't know about that."

This needs to be checked. The shopkeeper cannot find this out with his ability.

Chen Xi nodded, then winked at Dong Baoshan. Dong Baoshan nodded, turned around and left the private room.

"The shopkeeper

I did a good job of getting the information about you. I will continue to ask people to get more information later. If you have any new information, remember to go to the Lin Mansion to find me. "

"Yes!"

After waiting for the shopkeeper to go out, Chen Xi pushed open the private room and looked at the diners in the store through the window to listen to what they were talking about.

Chen Xi originally came here just to try his luck, but who knew that she would actually get into trouble.

There was a loud noise at the door of the store, and then the shopkeeper hurriedly walked out. Chen Xi also got up, and Dong Baozhen and Meng He immediately guarded her on both sides.

At this time, the diners had surrounded the bun shop, and everyone was curious about what the people who came were doing.

I saw an old woman kneeling on the ground crying: "You black-hearted Chenji Steamed Bun Shop, what kind of medicine did you put in the steamed buns to make my son eat your steamed buns every day? Now I don't have any food at home, and no food outside." I won’t eat and will only eat food from Chen Ji. After eating for the past few days, my son suddenly twitched all over and foamed at the mouth. There must be something wrong with Chen Ji’s food. You will pay for my son’s life!”

As soon as they heard that someone was killed, those who had been watching the excitement couldn't help but take two steps back. As soon as a large space was cleared, Chen Xi walked over.

Seeing Chen Xi appear, the old woman looked a little evasive, not as strong as she was when facing the shopkeeper.

Seeing her like this, Chen Xi immediately concluded that there must be something hidden here.

She glanced at Meng Tian gently, and Meng Tian immediately stepped forward to check the middle-aged man lying on the ground.

The middle-aged man's face was blue at this time, and there was foam at the corner of his mouth. He was lying there motionless.

As soon as Meng Tian approached, the old woman immediately stood in front of him.

"What are you going to do? My son is dead, why are you still bothering me?

he? "

Meng Tian said in a good temper: "Auntie, I want to see if there is any chance of rescuing your son!"

Unexpectedly, the old woman cursed fiercely: "People are dead and out of breath, what else can be saved?"

Meng Tian looked back at Chen Xi, and Chen Xi said coldly: "Just do what you want!"

Now Meng Tian no longer hesitated, pushed the old woman away and squatted down to examine the unconscious man.
