Chapter 1045: Uncle Ding Makes His Move
Zhang Ronghua extracted their respective attribute juices from them and mixed them into the rice seeds. He took a flower pot and planted them. He stretched out his palm and placed it on the flower pot. His Black Yellow Internal Strength stimulated the growth of the new rice seeds. At a speed visible to the naked eye, the new rice seeds quickly took root and sprouted. After a few minutes, they were already ripe and golden. Looking at the rice ears, the grains were very large and there were many of them.
He retracted his palm and took off the ear of rice, putting it into the Five Dragons Spirit Taming Belt. Although the problem of toxicity had been resolved, and the grain produced by the new rice seeds was flawless, he still had to test it and obtain specific data before it could be promoted.
Such a major event couldn’t be neglected. If it failed, the losses would be huge, and the people of Great Xia couldn’t afford it.
“Let’s go!” Go to the Ministry of Works.”
“Yes.” Ding Yi replied excitedly.
After leaving the room, the two of them headed outside.
Feng Jianxiu rushed over as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the government office. His expression was solemn and his gaze was cold. It was as if something big had happened. He cupped his fists and said quickly,” Something has happened to the lord!”
Zhang Ronghua pointed to the side, and the three of them walked over.
” Someone poisoned Your Highness,” Feng Jianxiu said.” They’ve been captured. Your Highness has invited you over.”
“Let’s go!”
The two of them boarded Changping’s carriage and rushed toward the Eastern Palace with Feng Jianxiu.
At this point.
Ding Yi followed him in.
Xuanhe Hall.
As Zhang Ronghua entered, the palace door closed. After bowing, the Crown Prince explained the matter in detail.
He had just arrived at the royal study and reported the matter to his father. The Xia Emperor was very angry and gave a death order to investigate thoroughly and dig out the mastermind!
After he returned.
The Crown Prince had people control the kitchen and the maids who served the meals. After a round of interrogation, they found the person who had poisoned them. This woman was called Shui Qing, and she was quite experienced. She had worked in the Eastern Palace for three years. After some interrogation, he learned from her that a masked man had controlled her younger brother some time ago and threatened him to force her to submit. Their father was dead, and there was only their mother in the family. The siblings had a very good relationship. If they did not agree, or if they leaked the news, they would have to wait for their corpse to be collected!
The masked man also said that it was not poison but a tonic that could hide from most inspections and would not be easily discovered. He told her to do it without worry and no one would find out. He would even give her a large sum of money afterwards.
Shui Qing didn’t believe it. If it was really a tonic, why would she pay such a huge price to threaten her brother? But there was no other way. He didn’t want his brother to die and was hoping for luck. What if it was really a tonic like the masked man said? In addition, the other party was forcing him so much that he decided to make a move today.
“Have you caught the masked man?” asked Zhang Ronghua.
The Crown Prince shook his head.” I’ve already sent people to the place where they agreed to meet. There’s no one there. By inference, she has already been abandoned.”
“Do you have any suspects?”
“Xia Shizhong was also poisoned by this poison, and now he wants to harm me.”
Zhang Ronghua finally understood. The person who poisoned him must be one of the princes. However, he had no evidence. He could not make a guess. He asked again,” What are the characteristics of the masked man?”
“The smell of orchid is very strong. I suspect that it’s a woman!”
“Shui Qing didn’t notice?”
The Crown Prince said,” At that time, she was scared silly. She could only remember You Lanxiang because I forced her too hard. She only remembered after trying hard to recall. Otherwise, she wouldn’t even remember this.”
Qing ‘Er took out an item. It was a green jade bottle with exquisite patterns carved on it and handed it over.
Zhang Ronghua took the bottle. There was a faint orchid fragrance on the jade bottle. It was almost unnoticeable.” This is a high-grade orchid fragrance, like a high-quality product. If it was an ordinary orchid, the fragrance would be messy and would not be so fresh. We can start from this aspect and send someone to investigate the rouge and powder shops in the city. Check their sales records and find the mastermind.”
“I thought so too. That’s why I called you over!” The government doesn’t have enough manpower, so we can transfer troops from the Fifth Division of City Defense to assist.”
“Yes, sir!” Zhang Ronghua accepted the order.
He left the Eastern Palace with Ding Yi and rushed to the Shangjing government. When he returned to the government office, he called Tie Changlin, Mo Qi ‘an, and Lu Jian and told them what had happened.
When the three of them heard this, they were shocked.
Poisoning the Crown Prince to death was a big deal. If they found out, they would at least kill three clans.
Zhang Ronghua ordered the four county offices to send people to investigate the shops in the city and retrieve all the records of the sales of the orchid perfume. Then, he asked them to lead the team to complete the investigation before they went off duty.
With a single order, the huge government machinery was activated. The government runners and soldiers were all mobilized and rushed towards the rouge and powder shop in the city.
He waited for them to leave.
Zhang Ronghua took out the cultivated rice and handed it over.” Go to the Ministry of Works now. Ask Ping Bo to send someone to test it. Tell him to send news as soon as possible.”
“Alright.” Ding Yi agreed.
He put it away solemnly and rushed out of the office.
With a thought, he quickly investigated, starting with the First Prince…After a while, he shook his head. There was too little information, so he couldn’t guess.
It was about to be worth it.
Ding Yi rushed back and closed the door. His tense face could no longer be replaced by joy. He took out the document and handed it over.” Brother, look!”
Zhang Ronghua read the document.
There was only one type of data, no adverse reactions, and it was stamped with the seal of the Ministry of Works!
Although he had known about it, he was relieved to see it with his own eyes. With that, he could promote it without worry.
“Brother, let’s give it a name!” Ding Yi said.
“Alright.” Zhang Ronghua agreed.
“Let’s call it Shangjing Rice!”
” Good name!” Ding Yi muttered. He was delighted and praised.” Good name!”
Happy from the bottom of his heart, congratulations in advance.
