Shen Muchun said: "The details still need further confirmation. Ask Qi Tian first, what exactly is the smell?"

So Jiang Li followed Shen Muchun to check out the problematic grain.

The people transporting the grain have been detained by the army.

The leader of the team was a small manager of Longmen Trading Company in Jiange County. He didn't know what happened and was trembling with fear: "I, I want to see the Marquis..."

The soldier guarding him said sternly: "When the military supervisor wants to see you, he will come and summon you. Just wait."

Among the porters who transported grain, there were naturally people from the Kongkong Sect and the Qianji Sect.

They were all in a panic at this time. Although the sect leader had repeatedly assured them that these poisons were colorless and odorless and would never be discovered, they were actually seized by the Southern Expedition Army. Something must have gone wrong!

They exchanged glances, and some began to cry out, "I am just a laborer, with an old mother and young children at home, who are waiting for the money I earn to buy rice. Sir, please be kind and let me go!"

"I have an old father at home who is sick in bed..."

"We are just porters, we know nothing, why are you detaining us for no reason?"

"Don't you want to pay?"

"Of course it is! The Southern Expedition Army is actually oppressing the people like this..."

With someone taking the lead, the detained porters started to riot. Some were crying, some were shouting, and the guarding soldiers could not suppress the crowd even though they shouted at them.

At this moment, Zhang Zhe rushed over after hearing the noise, drew his sword, and chopped a grain truck into two halves!

"Whoever makes noise again will be punished like this!"

Everyone was suddenly silent.

Zhang Zhe glanced at the porters and said in a deep voice, "Please be patient. Once the grain and grass are checked and there is no problem, we will let you go."

Those troublemakers secretly groaned in pain and had to squat obediently with the other porters, not daring to show their heads again.

At this time, Jiang Li was communicating with the Monkey King.

The Monkey King is Xie Changan’s independently contracted pet. Jiang Li naturally cannot communicate with it through the contract, but Jiang Li has the ability to listen carefully.

She used her listening skills to ask the Monkey King: "Qitian, what do you smell?"

The Monkey King scratched his head and said, "There is a very small fruit that looks a lot like wheat. When we monkeys make wine, we add this fruit as a wine starter to make the wine stronger..."

Shen Muchun's eyes lit up: "Wine and wheat!"

Jiang Li asked curiously: "Is this poisonous?"

Shen Muchun said: "It is non-toxic..."

He opened the bag of flour that the Monkey King had intercepted, grabbed a handful, put it under his nose and sniffed it, then he suddenly realized: "So that's it!"

"Some people grind barley into powder and mix it with flour. If people eat food made from flour mixed with barley, they will get drunk as if they were drinking strong liquor."

"The powder made from malt wine is the same as flour? You can't tell the difference?" Jiang Li was surprised.

Shen Muchun nodded: "Yes, it is no different from flour, but if you smell it up close, you can smell a very faint fragrance. People who have never seen wine barley usually can't tell the difference."

I would just think that this flour has a strong wheat aroma.

Jiang Li secretly felt lucky. If the Southern Expedition Army ate the food made from this flour, the whole army would be drunk and would be at the mercy of others.

The person who did this had a very deep mind and a very vicious plan!

Fortunately, they have a monkey king, and he is a monkey king who can make wine!

Jiang Li touched the Monkey King's head and praised him, "Our Qi Tian has made great contributions! What reward do you want?"

The monkey said shyly: "Can you please keep these grains with wine barley for me? I can use them to make wine in the future."

Jiang Li said happily: "Okay, I'll keep them all for you!"

After the Southern Expedition was over, Longmen Winery was established. With the Monkey King and Zhu Gangyong, as well as the wine and wheat delivered to the door, he was so busy counting money that his hands cramped!

Shen Muchun said: "Wine barley is extremely rare. I have only seen a few grains in my master's collection. I don't know who is so generous as to use such a precious thing to murder us."

Jiang Li smiled happily: "No matter who he is, I will gladly accept this gift that comes to my door, hahahaha..."

"What are you so happy about?"

After Xie Changan finished his work, he hurried over to see what happened to the problematic military rations.

But hearing Jiang Li laughing so happily, he couldn't help but wonder, did he find a treasure?

Jiang Li chuckled and said, "Isn't it just like finding a treasure?"

She told Xie Changan that there was wine and barley mixed in the grain.

Xie Changan couldn't help but be shocked. This poison was administered without anyone noticing. If that person succeeded, everyone except him and Jiang Li would be drunk on the spot!

He also praised the Monkey King highly, and his tail was almost raised to the sky!

Xie Changan asked: "What are you going to do with this batch of grain?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "This is a mountain of gold and silver, so we have to keep it well."

She asked Qingfeng to ask Hong Jianchang to keep the grain properly and come back to take it away after they returned from the southern expedition.

Hong Jianchang naturally agreed.

Although he was wondering why the military supervisor did not take the military rations away, but instead asked him to keep them for him? Maybe there was something important in it?

Hong Jianchang did not dare to ask more questions, and it was naturally not convenient to tell him the confidential matters of the Southern Expedition Army.

He called the garrison troops to take away the grain, put it in a warehouse, and sealed it for safekeeping.

The next issue is how to deal with those who transport the grain.

Xie Changan's eyes became fierce: "Execute him on the spot."

They still had to rush to southern Xinjiang and would have to break camp and set off the next day. How could they have the time to interrogate these people?

It would be better to just execute them all. It would be better to kill the wrong ones than to let them go.

Jiang Li frowned slightly: "No."

In addition to the people from the Longmen Trading Company, the people detained by the Southern Expedition Army also included local porters. Although there were definitely spies mixed in, most of them were from poor local families, and perhaps they were the strong laborers and pillars of the family.

If he were to behead him like this, it would not only be him who would die. It would be too sinful.

She said to Xie Changan through the heart contract: "Brother Changan, now you are also a cultivator, don't commit murder for no reason, be careful of the thunder tribulation!"

Xie Changan now has spiritual consciousness and has also practiced her sect's core method. Naturally, he is considered a cultivator and no longer an ordinary military general.

Xie Changan was delighted, but then frowned slightly: "Do you have any idea?"

It can identify the black sheep without harming the innocent.

Jiang Li rolled his eyes and asked the Monkey King again: "Qitian, can you smell the remaining smell from the person who handled the wine and wheat?"

The Monkey King scratched his head and said, "I'll try, but I may not be able to smell it."

So Jiang Li and Xie Changan took the Monkey King and went to the place where the grain transporters were imprisoned.

Shen Muchun followed curiously. He also wanted to know who was so bold as to plot against the Southern Expedition Army!

The steward of Longmen Trading Company saw an extremely beautiful girl walking towards them accompanied by several generals, and he knew that this girl must be their boss, Marquis Jing'an.

The young steward rushed over and cried, "My Lord, My Lord, I am innocent. I know nothing. The grain and grass were also transported by the Sichuan General Bank..."

He was shocked and frightened. People who wanted to enter Longmen Trading Company were fighting hard for the position, and he had to work very hard to be promoted to the position of junior manager.

When he heard that food was to be delivered to the Southern Expedition Army, he volunteered to come.

I didn’t expect something to go wrong on this trip!

Even if I could save my life, having failed in such an important mission, I don't know if I can still stay in Longmen Trading Company?

Jiang Li smiled and said, "If it has nothing to do with you, I will definitely clear your name."

These porters were stunned as they saw this god-like figure for the first time.

This beautiful female general is actually the boss of Longmen Trading Company, Marquis Jing'an!

Xie Changan's eyes were cold, and he said sternly: "Come here, let them line up and come up one by one!"

The guarding soldiers stepped forward and ordered all those involved in transporting grain to line up and come forward one by one to be inspected by the Monkey King.

The porters were totally confused and had to line up obediently, taking turns to let the Monkey King sniff them again and again.

When it was the turn of a thin man with shifty eyes, the Monkey King sniffed him and immediately started squeaking.

Others didn't understand, but Jiang Li and Xie Changan heard it clearly. The Monkey King said, "He smells like wine and wheat!"

"Take him away!" Xie Changan ordered immediately.

The thin man was so scared that he screamed, "Why are you arresting me? What did I do wrong?"

The soldiers gagged him and took him aside without asking any questions.

All the porters were shocked.
