Chapter 272 A farce requires buying a shop (1)

The woman died suddenly in prison, making this already bizarre murder case even more confusing.

For a time, rumors spread among the people. Some people said that the family was killed by evil spirits, some said that there was something wrong with the feng shui of that family, and some suspected that the family contained deadly dirt...

In short, this murder case has become a topic of conversation among people after dinner. You can hear people mention it wherever you go. The other residents who originally lived in that area felt a little uncomfortable. Those who couldn't bear it had to move away with their families, or ask monks and Taoists to perform rituals, just to find peace in their homes.

After Xiao Ruiyuan heard about it, he had an idea in mind and sent a large number of people to conduct unannounced visits to the homes of ordinary people in Beijing. Once symptoms similar to those of the seven members of the family who were poisoned were found, the cause should be verified immediately and reported.

It didn't take long for the people who were sent out to send back the news. They found that many residents had such patients in their homes. The symptoms were similar to those of the family of seven, but they were milder. However, several relatives who had passed away also suffered from similar diseases. He died of illness.

Xiao Ruiyuan knew what was going on, so he put all this information together and asked them to check the source of these people's rice and see if they had been buying moldy grain from the rice shop for a long time.

Following this direction, the final result of the investigation was that it was indeed related to moldy grains.

Its just that, although there is sufficient evidence that long-term consumption of moldy grains can cause poisoning and death, now is still not the most appropriate time.

Xiao Ruiyuan is waiting. He is waiting for news from the border military camp. Once the soldiers in the military camp also suffer from this disease, he will make all the matters related to the moldy food public before the news reaches the imperial court. Only in this way can he attract the attention of the emperor and the civil and military officials and completely eliminate the moldy food. cancer.

Not long after, a soldier at the border developed constant diarrhea, and soon after, several more people suffered from similar symptoms. Under the operation of thoughtful people, the situation developed much faster, half a month earlier than the time when this situation appeared in Mo Yan's dream.

After Xiao Ruiyuan got the news, he immediately revealed the evidence collected during this period to the sworn enemies of King Heng through secret lines.

What happened next, without Xiao Ruiyuan's personal intervention, King Heng became the target of attack by the princes and princes. Incited by those princes and princes, their faction launched a fierce attack on King Heng's faction.

Its just that I dont know what Emperor Huian had in mind for not publishing any of the memorials to impeach King Heng for secretly selling moldy grains and poisoning innocent people. In the eyes of others, this gesture was tantamount to a different kind of defense of King Heng, which caused other princes and princes to become increasingly dissatisfied. They took frequent actions in private and had the momentum to never give up until King Heng was brought down.

Immediately afterwards, the story of King Heng selling moldy grains privately and poisoning the people was quickly spread among the people, driven by the mastermind behind the scenes.

For a time, the people were talking a lot, and then they thought about the tragic death of seven members of the family, all of whom were caused by moldy grains. They were so frightened that they turned pale and hurriedly checked whether there was moldy grains in their homes.

The people who originally suspected that the relatives who died at home were victims of poisonous food also gritted their teeth with hatred and gathered people to go to Prince Heng's Mansion to seek justice.

There were too many people, and Prince Heng's Mansion could not handle them. In addition, during this sensitive period, the guards of Prince Heng's Mansion did not dare to attack ordinary people, so they had to close the door of Prince Heng's Mansion to prevent those unruly people from breaking in and hurting the master of the mansion.

The development of the situation is under the control of Xiao Ruiyuan and Chu Heng. Even if Emperor Hui'an intends to protect King Heng, they are not worried.

When word spread to the capital that a large number of soldiers at the border were poisoned by moldy grains, even if Emperor Hui'an wanted to protect King Heng, it would still depend on whether the 50,000 people at the border would agree.
