Shopkeeper She was indeed talking about the crayfish poisoning incident.
However, what happened in Qingzhou was a few days later. It was only three days ago that someone showed symptoms. In the past two days, the symptoms had become worse and worse, so he rushed here without stopping.
Cheng Wanwan looked at the booklet, squinting his eyes and thinking.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the crayfish itself. There is a high probability that someone poisoned them.
The first poisoned person appeared in Yangzhou six days ago, and the first case in Qingzhou appeared three days ago. Why is it at this time?
Did the poisoner rush to Qingzhou after poisoning Yangzhou? The timing is not right.
Thinking of this, she suddenly paused.
The crayfish from Yangzhou six days ago were the same batch sent by Dahe Town ten days ago, which was the first batch of crayfish from her fifty-acre pond.
Qingzhou's demand for crayfish is small, and it was just replaced with shrimps in her pond four days ago.
Could it be that her pond was poisoned?
Cheng Wanwan immediately said: "Cheng Yi, let Wu Xiaochui come quickly."
Cheng Yi knew that something big had happened and walked as fast as he could to find Wu Xiaochui. After a while, Wu Xiaochui was brought.
"Xiaochui, hurry up and arrange a boat to recover the crayfish sent to Yangzhou in the morning. Don't send them to Qingzhou for the time being." She said quickly, "You can have someone go to Lijiagou and catch them from several ponds at random. Some crayfish have been brought and I want to check them out."
When lobsters first came on the market in early summer, her kitchen would cook lobsters with different flavors every day. After the family got tired of eating them, they never cooked them again.
If he had eaten a few meals from time to time and discovered that he had been poisoned earlier, things might not have turned out like this.
She raised her eyes and looked at the businessmen in Yangzhou and Qingzhou in front of her: "You guys should rest for the night. I will give you an answer tomorrow morning."
He Lao and others were all troubled by this incident. Now that Sui Gongren was in charge of the overall situation, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Mrs. Qi took her to the side room to wash up and rest.
An hour later, the crayfish from Lijiagou were delivered.
The crayfish came from ten different ponds, one was the fifty-acre pond she bought, and the other nine ponds were randomly selected from the villagers.
She took Crawfish into the room, raised the door bolt, and then bought medical testing equipment from the system.
First, the crayfish cultured by the villagers were tested, and the results showed that they were normal.
Until she put the crayfish she farmed into the instrument, which showed that the level of arsenic trioxide exceeded the normal level.
Arsenic trioxide is also commonly known as arsenic. In ancient times, some people called it crane-top red. It should be the oldest and most deadly poison in ancient history.
In other words, the doctor in Yangzhou was not talking nonsense at all, and the diners were indeed poisoned by Hedinghong...
However, talking about toxicity regardless of dosage is a joke. Extremely trace amounts of arsenic trioxide can cause limited damage to the body. If it exceeds the normal range, it will cause physical discomfort. A small package may seem like a small amount, but it is actually tens of millions of times the normal amount. Therefore, If a normal person accidentally eats a packet, he will die in a short time...
She should be grateful that the fifty-acre pond was large enough, and the amount of poisoners put in was limited, and the amount absorbed by the crayfish was even more limited. Most people who ate poisonous crayfish had symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea, which was considered mild poisoning.
Mild, not fatal, completely curable.
However, medical technology in ancient times was underdeveloped, and treatment was too complicated and slow, so we still had to rely on modern drugs.
Cheng Wanwan purchased many special antidote drugs developed by modern medicine in the mall system and packed them in porcelain bottles of this era.
The arsenic was put into her pond, which meant that someone who was hostile to her was deliberately causing trouble.
Since this incident happened because of her, it was necessary for her to go to the place where the incident occurred to deal with the aftermath.
After preparing all the medicines, Cheng Wanwan called Wu Xiaochui over again and carefully warned: "The fifty acres of pond has been poisoned with arsenic. The water is poisonous, and the crayfish and fish are also poisonous... You send someone immediately I will dig a hole in the pond and drain the water, and I will take all the poisonous crayfish to Yangzhou tomorrow morning."
Ever since Cheng Wanwan urgently called Wu Xiaochui back, he knew there was something wrong with this batch of crayfish, but he didn't know what was wrong.
Now when he heard what Cheng Wanwan said, he suddenly knelt on the ground: "Auntie, it's all my fault. I didn't take good care of the pond and let someone take the opportunity to pour poison. I asked Auntie to punish me!"
He has been taking care of this fifty-acre pond. Last year, it produced 20,000 to 30,000 kilograms of crayfish. This year, the culture is slightly denser, and the output can reach about 50,000 kilograms, which is about 40,000 taels of silver. So A lot of money, all of it was lost because of his negligence... He must be blamed for his death!
"You are indeed at fault in this matter, but now is not the time for punishment. I hope you will atone for your sins." Cheng Wanwan said quietly, "I am going to Yangzhou to deal with the aftermath. Then, I will leave it to you to find out who poisoned the people." Well, if it can’t be found out, it means there is a problem with your ability, and I will consider replacing someone to take charge of the lobster business. If it can be found out, the merits and demerits will be balanced, and this matter can be over."
If someone in Hyundai Company made such a big mistake, she would demand compensation and be fired without saying a word.
But this incident was obviously aimed at her. Even if there were no problems with Wu Xiaochui, there would be problems with other businesses.
He made a mistake, but it was not a big mistake that required him to be fired. After all, there is no way to guard against a thief for a thousand days.
So, she will give it a chance.
Wu Xiaochui nodded immediately: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely find out the person behind you!"
When he stood up and was about to go to work, he saw Zhao Tiezhu walking in from the door with a beaming face: "Auntie, someone from the capital has arrived at the gate of the town!"
Cheng Wanwan knew that this was the reward from the Grand Canal.
The Grand Canal was completed at the end of last year, and these few months are considered to be the assessment period. During this period, the Xiaoqin Grand Canal has been operating normally, so it is time for the court to reward merits.
Originally, she would be a little excited about the imperial court's reward, but now, with things on her mind, she really can't get excited.
Mrs. Qi and the maids hurriedly came to change her clothes and make up, and then they walked to the door of the house, and the team announcing the decree arrived just in time.
This time the person who came to announce the decree was not Eunuch Ming, but another young eunuch in the palace. The young eunuch got off the carriage and bowed curtly: "Eunuch Ming is a young master. He has other important matters, so I will send you to him." The young one has come to Dahe Town to announce the decree, so Suigong people can just call him Xiao Guozi."
Cheng Wanwan smiled and said: "Then please ask Eunuch Guo to announce the decree."
Xiao Guozi is the little Guozi of the Emperor and Queen. For people outside the palace like her, calling her "Eunuch Guo" is enough to express her respect.
"Please Suigong, please take over the imperial edict!" Xiao Guozi opened the imperial edict, his voice rising a lot, "The Emperor of Heaven carries the edict..."
The people watching the excitement knelt down one after another and listened to the content of the imperial edict with great interest. They could not understand the rest of the content, but they could still get a rough idea of how many ranks they had been granted and what they had been awarded.
