Upon hearing this, Cui Yifeng agreed.

Then he asked, "You still haven't told me how you got here. I don't remember telling you that my little sister was here."

Cui Han didn't want to tell his nephew about the embarrassing incident where he fainted on the boat because he hadn't taken his medicine and was almost thrown into the river as a corpse.

It's too disrespectful for him as an elder.

Therefore, he omitted the preceding details, only saying that he met Xu Qing and his group on the boat, who were just about to return to Xujia Village.

He recognized Zhenzhen the moment he saw her, so he came to the Xu family with her.

Cui Han only had 10 days of vacation. But to wean off the drug, he needed 15 days, which made him very worried.

If his colleagues in the court found out, his mortal enemies would definitely seize the opportunity to impeach him.

Cui Yifeng replied, "Ten days may not be enough to completely quit, but it's sufficient. You'll understand once you get back and look at the notebook that Cui Er kept."

Moreover, my uncle has a stronger willpower than most people; he might be able to quit completely in less than 10 days.

With Cui Yifeng's assurance, Cui Han felt relieved. The two chatted for a while before Cui Han left his room and went to the hall where Xu Qing was entertaining guests.

Unexpectedly, Cui Er, who should have stayed at the Cui family's residence, was now standing anxiously in the hall.

Upon seeing Cui Yifeng, he immediately ran up to him and repeated to the young master what he had just told Madam Xu:

"Something's happened, something's happened, young master! Little Liu, the milk tea delivery boy, is dead!"

He died, but to make matters worse, he died right in front of Jufenglou, where many customers knew he was a milk tea deliveryman.

Now everyone's saying our milk tea is poisonous and undrinkable. All the restaurants in the city are coming to return it!

Cui Yifeng frowned and said, "A person might die from a sudden illness, so why would you say the milk tea is poisonous?"

Cui Er: "When he fell to the ground, black blood was flowing from his seven orifices, and he was holding a milk tea in his hand and drinking it..."

The restaurant owner immediately reported the incident to the police, and the coroner confirmed after examination that it was poisoning.

They then cut open his stomach, and inside, besides the food provided to the servants in the mansion, was only milk tea.

The coroner then examined the milk tea, and sure enough, the problem was in it. Someone had poisoned the milk tea!

Cui Yifeng looked at Xu Qing, and Xu Qing understood the meaning in his eyes.

She stated firmly, "My people are absolutely innocent. I can guarantee it wasn't done by the workers in the workshop."

Cui Yifeng disagreed: "Godmother, don't be so sure of yourself. I'll go back and check first. It seems I won't be able to have a proper talk with my little sister today. Please give her my regards."

After saying that, Cui Yifeng strode towards the door and left, with Cui Yi and Cui Er following closely behind.

"Wait a minute." Xu Qing said to Cui Yifeng's back, "I'll go with you. This matter is of great importance, and more people will make a difference."

Cui Yifeng did not object.

Cui Han had just finished discussing the withdrawal medication with Cui Yifeng inside the house.

Therefore, he plans to stay here and spend more time developing his relationship with Zhenzhen.

Xu Qing took Qian Baizhi and Ye Wushuang with him and headed to the prefectural city.

Without stopping for a moment, the group spurred their horses onward.

This was the first time Qian Baizhi had ever ridden in a carriage for such a long time at such a fast speed.

Even if the official road is smooth and there is a soft cushion under your buttocks, you still feel sore back and aching waist from sitting.

However, she didn't complain. She knew the matter was urgent and couldn't be delayed.

When we arrived at the workshop in the prefectural city, my legs were shaking uncontrollably as I got out of the carriage.

Since the incident, Xu Gong has been investigating whether there were any problems within the workshop.

The employees at the milk tea workshop are all trustworthy people brought from the village.

He had asked Aunt Zhao to keep a close eye on the two workers he had hired a few days ago.

no problem.

The milk tea is processed entirely in the workshop from start to finish, and then Xiao Liu drives it away, without coming into contact with any other people or things along the way.

What went wrong?

Xu Gong's head was about to explode from thinking so hard.

When Xu Qing and the others pushed open the door, they saw Xu Gong sitting at the entrance of the workshop, clutching his head in pain and dejection.

The fact that the milk tea produced in the workshop had caused such a problem left Aunt Zhao and the others feeling uneasy and distressed.

They stood behind Xu Gong, looking equally bewildered and at a loss.

The milk tea they made killed people. Xiao Liu's cup of milk tea was personally filled by her!

Upon seeing Xu Qing, Aunt Zhao knelt down, choking back tears: "Master, we really didn't poison him..."

After saying that, all the fear and worry in their hearts seemed to find an outlet, and Aunt Zhao and Madam Sun burst into tears.

"Boss, we don't know what happened either... Waaah!"

"How could there be arsenic in it? I tasted it to check the sweetness when it came out of the pot, and I drank some too. How come Xiao Liu got into trouble after drinking it!"

Xu Qing grasped the key point in Aunt Zhao's words and stepped forward to help her up:

"You mean the milk tea wasn't poisoned when it was made? When was the milk tea that Xiao Liu drank prepared?"

Aunt Zhao answered subconsciously, "It's because after it was put into the wooden bucket, for some reason, there was a little more milk tea today."

After putting it into the wooden bucket, there was still some left in the pot. The second boss said that it had to be made fresh every day.

So we shared the rest of the drink privately, but even the best things get boring after a while.

Today I'll pack some for Xiao Liu to drink on the way or take back to his family.

But who knew this would happen..."

Cui Yifeng asked impatiently, "Was Xiao Liu's milk tea from a pot or a wooden bucket?"

Aunt Zhao was terrified of Cui Yifeng, the young master, and dared not cry anymore: "It's what's left in the pot."

"Then why are you talking so much nonsense?"

This incident disrupted his relationship with his younger sister, and Cui Yifeng lost his usual good temper.

"Since you drank it when it was fresh out of the pot and were fine, then after you tasted the milk tea, who else has gone near the milk tea? Everyone, step forward."

Da Ya suddenly realized something, her expression changed, but she immediately lowered her head to hide the emotions in her eyes.

Xu Qing remained silent, clearly agreeing with Cui Yifeng's approach.

After being scolded, Aunt Zhao didn't dare to say anything more and simply said, "They've all been near them."

Cui Yifeng then asked, "The two new people who arrived a couple of days ago, come out."

Two young girls emerged trembling from the crowd and knelt on the ground: "Master, we didn't poison them, it really wasn't us!"

"Cui Yi, drag them away and torture them severely to see if they have anything to say."

"Yes."

Cui reached out to grab them, and the two girls screamed in alarm, "Boss, we didn't poison them!"

"Please, please let us go! It really wasn't us!"

"Our indentures are still in the hands of the second employer, how could we dare to do such a thing! Please, spare us!"

Cui Yifeng ignored the girl's pleas for mercy, simply waving his hand impatiently.

"When did you become so useless? Gag her and drag her away!"

Upon seeing this scene, Daya trembled uncontrollably.

Sun stood next to Daya; they were both employees of the workshop and had come from the village together.

Furthermore, Daya has already apologized to her and her mother-in-law for what happened in the past.

Seeing her fright, Madam Sun comforted her, "Don't be afraid, we've all been working for the master for a long time. The master wouldn't treat us like that."
