Chapter 101 Calling a deer a horse
"What is He Lin thinking? If the Yun family planted so many datura flowers, shouldn't they just call the government officials?"
He Lin still didn't understand: "If it was burned, wouldn't there be no evidence to prove that the flower garden in Yunjiali County was planted with datura flowers?"
"No, this datura flower is usually dark red, and He Lin said the datura flower he saw was a variant."
Jiang Lili recalled what He Lin had said to her: "The Yun family's mutant datura flowers are similar in color and appearance to purple camellias. It is difficult to define mutants as forbidden flowers. If the government is biased and calls a black cat a white cat, and calls these mutant datura flowers new varieties of camellias, it will be difficult to convict the Yun family."
Jiang Lili felt that the burned flower garden must still have some clues, and it was impossible to burn so cleanly: "What about the Yunjia Lixian flower garden now? We can't let them deal with it overnight. Clean up all the traces at the scene."
He Jing said: "My aunt has immediately sent people to make a scene at the Yun Family Li County Flower Garden, not allowing the Yun Family to touch the burnt site of the flower garden. She said that if they want compensation, they have to first see what the burned seedlings are."
Jiang Lili felt relieved. Fortunately, He Shao, the head of the He family, was not someone to be trifled with, so she would not be treated as a soft persimmon.
At night, the moonlight in the sky was as cool as water. The late autumn night was a little chilly. In the yard of the inn, Jiang Lili's shoulders shivered in the autumn wind.
He Jing sighed, "However, only some stumps were left after the fire. The county government said that they were the stumps of purple camellia. Purple camellia is rare, so the Yun family's compensation request is not excessive."
"As expected, they still call a horse a zebra and refuse to admit it. The only way is to find other flower beds where the Yun family grows datura flowers and compare them with these remaining roots."
"But if it's a mutant of the Camellia japonica, it can't be defined as the Camellia japonica that the court has ordered to be banned from planting. Only the Minister of Agriculture has the right to define it. The county government insists that it's a purple camellia, and we can't do anything about it."
He Jing looked very depressed. No matter how rich the He family was, how could they invite the Minister of Agriculture of the Ministry of Revenue to come here all of a sudden? Even the prefect of Lianzhou couldn't do it.
Jiang Lili smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. As long as you find the mutant datura flower, I will have a way."
She said meaningfully: "Lingnan is relatively isolated. They think they can cover the sky with one hand in Lingnan. The court can't reach that far."
He Jing scratched his head and said, "They must have left some clues. Planting the datura flowers is not just to frame the He family, it must be for profit. I don't know who they will sell these datura flowers to."
Jiang Lili made the decision and said, "You should first bring the news to your aunt and explain the whole story clearly. Let your aunt take precautions and keep an eye on the tribute."
At this time, Xin Che came to the yard. After bathing, he changed into a moon-white gown with a cloak of the same color draped over his arm.
Seeing that Jiang Lili and He Jing had been discussing for so long, he asked calmly, "But what difficulties have you encountered?"
Jiang Lili nodded.
When He Jing saw Xin Che coming, he immediately said tremblingly: "Miss Jiang, don't send the news to my aunt first. For such a big matter, the tribute is important!"
He Jing and his servant were about to leave, but Xin Che stopped him: "Let your servant pass the message first. I have something to ask you."
He Jing did as he was told and stood there stiffly: "Just now I really had something urgent to do to find Miss Jiang, I didn't mean to take up her time."
Xin Che responded lightly and looked at Jiang Lili: "Can you tell me what difficulties you encountered?"
Jiang Lili then told Xin Che about He Lin and the datura flower, "Now the only possibility is to find the Yun family's flower gardens of other datura flower variants."
After Xin Che heard this, he understood and said, "So it's the datura flower."
He looked at Jiang Lili's shoulders shivering in the autumn wind with his narrow and long phoenix eyes: "I have also handled a case of Tuolu flower in the border area. If you trust me, I can help you find the Tuolu flower of the Yun family, but..."
"Of course I believe you!" He Jing saw that the big man was willing to help, and quickly interrupted: "Tell me what you need, I will prepare it right away!"
Xin Che glanced at the enthusiastic He Jing and calmed down: "I heard from Escort Cen that he and his companions went to the street and saw that the Yun family's restaurant was doing a booming business, with diners coming in an endless stream, and the teahouse was often full, while your He family's restaurant was much quieter. Is that true?"
"Yes, but our attention is on the unsaleable medicinal materials in the pharmacy. Their attack on our pharmacy is the most fierce."
Although He Jing was puzzled as to why Xin Che asked this, he still answered honestly: "As for the restaurant business, our He family's signature dishes are there, and they can't learn to make them. There will still be regular diners who come to our He family for dinner, but the frequency of their visit is less."
"My cousin also went to inquire about it. The Yun family did not introduce any new dishes. They still use the original dishes."
Xin Che gently tied Jiang Lili's cape and said softly, "The petals and stamens of the datura flower can be ground into spices. If added to dishes, the diners will be fascinated by the taste of the dishes."
"You mean..." He Jing was shocked, "This Yun family is too shameless!"
Jiang Lili looked at Xin Che, who was a head taller than her. He was concentrating on helping her put on her cloak, his lowered eyes as cold and clear as the moonlight.
Hearing Xin Che's words, Jiang Lili remembered that some modern restaurants also do this. When she was working, she loved to eat at a spicy hot pot restaurant near the company. She would feel uncomfortable all over if she didn't eat it for a few days. Later, when people from the Market Supervision Bureau came, she found out that the store had added ingredients to the spicy hot pot.
Throughout history, many people have been able to cross the bottom line for the sake of profit.
Jiang Lili lowered her eyes and watched Xin Che's slender fingers tie the cloak strap in front of her collarbone and said, "I believe you, but are you curious about why I want to interfere in the affairs of the He family?"
"Just trust me. No need to explain the rest."
Xin Che took his hand back and turned to instruct He Jing: "Prepare these things for me: five smart hunting dogs, and the black market datura flower..."
He Jing quickly wrote it down. After Xin Che gave some instructions, He Jing left. He and Jiang Lili were the only ones left in the backyard of the inn.
Xin Che said solemnly: "If you encounter any difficulties, tell me. You saved our Xin family, and you can use me as much as you want."
On his jade-like face, his cold expression was filled with a bit of urgency: "Li Li, you can try to trust me."
Jiang Lili smiled at him, with two sweet dimples on her face: "If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't trust you with the safety of me and the backpack."
"I do want to save He Lin, but I don't save him because I have any feelings for him. You will understand the reason later."
Xin Che raised the corner of his lips after hearing this: "Then you have to protect your own safety tonight. I'm going to help you solve the problem."
Jiang Lili nodded: "Okay, then you should be careful."
