Chapter 898 King Duan’s next move

"That kid Xuerui has been smart since he was a child. Everyone knows it in the aristocratic circles in Beijing. Moreover, he is not only smart, but also has a good character. But no one knows why. After he gets married, except for working on errands, he spends all other time He went out to play by himself, which seems like he is not doing his job properly." The old lady said and sighed, "But I have lived a long time and have met many people. These old eyes will not be wrong, and he will not do that kind of thing. Unless he is framed."

"Are there any dirty things among those wealthy families in Beijing? Regardless of Old Man Jiang's strict management of the family, how can there be no loopholes?" the old lady said again.

Bai Ruozhu smiled gratefully at the old lady and said, "I also think that my father-in-law is not that kind of person. Ah Chun said that his father-in-law treated him very well when he was young and often took him to play around. How could such a father do such a thing?" What's wrong? If my father-in-law is a lustful person, how can he not keep a concubine for many years? "

The old lady nodded happily, "It's good if you can think like this. Originally, the things of the previous generation have been forgotten, but I don't want you to have any knots because of this. Now it seems that I am worrying too much."

The two chatted for a while, and then Bai Ruozhu said goodbye and returned to the Bai family. As soon as he returned home, he was criticized by the whole family.

"Little sister, you are so courageous now that you don't discuss anything with us." Bai Zehao complained dissatisfied.

Bai Zepei also glared at her, with the same unhappy look on his face.

"Yes, Ruozhu, why didn't you tell your family about such a big thing?" Lin Ping'er also frowned and asked.

Bai Ruozhu explained directly: "The incident happened so suddenly. I don't know when King Duan will take action. I can only solve the matter as quickly as possible. It's not that I don't want to tell everyone. This matter cannot be leaked. Our family These servants are not completely trustworthy. Maybe as soon as I explained to you, Prince Duan has already reported me."

In fact, there is one more thing she didn't say. The incident happened in the toothpaste workshop, and her family members were completely unaware of it. If an accident really happened, she could also find a way to remove her family members, but if her second brother and others went with her today, In court, it is completely unclear.

After everyone listened to Bai Ruozhu's explanation, it was hard to say anything else. After all, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country was a serious crime, and there was no room for error.

Lin Ping'er bowed her hands together and said, "Thanks to the blessing of the Bodhisattva, I will go and offer incense to the Bodhisattva." After that, she ran away quickly.

In the afternoon, shortly after Bai Ruozhu took a nap with his son, someone asked to see him. It turned out to be Senior Brother Fox whom he hadn't seen for many days!

Bai Ruozhu became excited, looked at Brother Fox and asked, "Did Ah Chun ask you to send me a message?"

Xu Huilin touched his nose awkwardly, coughed twice, and said, "I have been transferred from the General Affairs Department, and I don't know their specific actions."

Bai Ruozhu was instantly disappointed. She thought Xu Huilin was from the General Affairs Department. Jiang Yichun and the General Affairs Department were cooperating on errands, and Xu Huilin came to report the news.

"Then what are you doing here?" Bai Ruozhu's tone was a little colder because of disappointment.

Xu Huilin shook his head helplessly and said, "Meng Liangsheng asked me to come over to see you and help you escort the batch of toothpaste to Beijing these days."

"You have returned to the Meng family?" Bai Ruozhu quickly adjusted her mood, feeling a little surprised, but more happy for Xu Huilin.

When asked this question, Xu Huilin avoided Bai Ruozhu's gaze uncomfortably and said in a low voice: "It happened a while ago, but I'm just his staff, and I don't want to admit my relationship."

No wonder he just called Meng Liangsheng by his first name. I am afraid that Meng Liangsheng would be very helpless towards this owed son.

Suddenly, Bai Ruozhu blinked. One of the sons of the Meng family returned to the capital for Ding You, and the other took over the errand to escort her toothpaste to the capital. Does this mean something?

"He cares about your safety after all." Bai Ruozhu muttered softly.

Xu Huilin was a martial arts practitioner. How could he not hear her words? His expression changed slightly, but he did not answer her words.

In fact, he already agreed with Bai Ruozhu's statement, but he still couldn't accept Meng Liangsheng emotionally.

"If he had recognized you early back then, I'm afraid you wouldn't be alive today." Bai Ruozhu reminded him in a low voice.

Xu Huilin's body was shaken. He had understood a lot recently, but he still couldn't accept it.

Bai Ruozhu sighed silently. Meng Liangsheng's unjust debt back then was also frustrating. Maybe time is the best elixir.

Afterwards, the two went to the flower hall to discuss the departure time, the approximate amount of goods, and how many carriages would be transported. Xu Huilin found a pen and paper and wrote them down one by one. He looked very serious.

This batch of toothpaste must be sent to the palace, and no more mistakes can be made.

For the next three days, Bai Ruozhu went to the toothpaste workshop every day to keep an eye on it. On the one hand, the ointment workshop needed to be reorganized to establish its prestige. On the other hand, she also kept an eye on the workers' production, not wanting to affect the quality of the toothpaste due to rushing work. This batch of goods was sent to the palace and must not be tampered with by anyone.

Not only did Bai Ruozhu supervise the work during the day, but he also secretly sent guards to keep an eye on everything going on in the workshop. Sure enough, on the third day, he was ready to take action.

In the middle of the night, a worker sneaked into the workshop, opened a large bucket of toothpaste that had been made, and poured something into it.

The secret guard Yan Ming quickly stopped him and tapped his acupuncture points.

The matter was reported to Bai Ruozhu overnight. Bai Ruozhu asked Grandma Zhang to take good care of Deng Deng, quietly left the house, and went to the workshop late at night to check.

The medicated powder was not sprinkled into the large bucket of toothpaste, and the medicated powder was not highly toxic, but it would conflict with certain medicinal materials in the toothpaste, causing the gums to bleed. If used for a long time, it would cause the gums to shrink and the gaps between the teeth to widen. .

If such toothpaste is sent to the palace, her head will not stay safe on her neck, because no one can guarantee who will use the toothpaste. It may be given to humble palace maids or eunuchs, but it is also possible If it fell into the hands of the princes and concubines, she would not dare to think about the consequences.

Fortunately, she made preparations, and her hard work these days was not in vain.

She walked towards the poisoned worker step by step and asked: "I treat you well, don't I? Although I can't give you glory and wealth or promotion, I can still give you a prosperous life. What's the point of taking such a desperate risk?" mean?"

Jian Qi untied the man's mute point, and the worker begged: "Master, please let me go. I don't want to, but King Duan sent people to arrest my wife and children. If I don't do this, they will die." "

Bai Ruozhu snorted coldly, "Why didn't you tell me that your wife and children were arrested? Could it be that I, the master, can't be trusted so much? Can't I help you save people? Did you ever think that you would kill more than one person when you secretly poisoned someone? Two people, everyone in this workshop will be killed, and my whole family will be implicated by you, how can you ask me to sympathize with you?"
