After hearing Xia Xiaodong's question, Eunuch Du immediately turned to look at Eunuch Ge.
Eunuch Ge looked at Xia Xiaodong expressionlessly and replied in a flat voice: "The Lu family paid tribute to a total of twelve boxes of pepper.
When it was put into the warehouse, the gross weight of each box was about thirty-one to thirty-two kilograms."
This sealing is quite accurate.
In other words, the net weight of each box should be about thirty kilograms.
Twelve boxes, which is about 360 kilograms.
Xia Xiaodong quickly calculated, while Eunuch Ge continued: "Before Jiao Fangdian took it, only one box was opened.
It was divided into thirty small packages, each package weighing about one kilogram.
The imperial kitchen took two of them. catty."
"Because pepper is warm in nature and pungent, it can be used to make soup in winter.
The Royal Kitchen once made soup with it twice for use, but luckily I never drank it.
Later, during the draft at the Summer Resort, some were distributed and three beautiful ladies chose it.
However, there is no record of any discomfort among consumers.”
"It's just that we later went to look for the remaining pepper in the imperial kitchen and the summer resort, but we didn't find it."
Eunuch Ge said coldly: "The people in the imperial kitchen said that they were all taken to the summer resort.
The people in the summer resort said, There were so many ingredients in those days that it was a bit messy, and the remaining pepper was missing. " Eunuch Ge said and snorted coldly: "If I didn't cover it up deliberately, why did I happen to disappear?
It must be someone doing something."
They also checked very carefully.
Xia Xiaodong nodded slightly: "It's just that the person who did this may be an accomplice of the poisoner, trying to destroy the evidence; but he may also be someone who wants to crucify the Queen and leave her speechless."
Eunuch Du and Eunuch Ge looked at each other, and their eyes flashed in unison.
Many people can think of destroying evidence, but not many can think of the other party doing it.
"Actually, I happen to recognize one of the girls who used pepper."
Xia Xiaodong smiled: "She was next to me that day.
It seems that there is nothing wrong with people who have used the soup she made."
That day, I originally thought about adding some pepper to the egg drop soup.
Although it didn't work out later, Miss Qiu always remembered it after she did.
Eunuch Ge nodded: "Are you talking about Qiu Lanqin?
She was the only one who was at Shaoyao Gallery on the same day as you.
We asked her about it.
A total of twenty-four people used her soup that day.
Indeed, we didn't hear about anyone who came later.
Feeling unwell."
Xia Xiaodong was a little stunned.
Don't underestimate the Sentence Division, they are professionals.
When he first thought about Miss Qiu's pepper soup, Xia Xiaodong actually felt a little proud.
Maybe we'll know what you are looking for and can't find.
In fact, some of them were moved to the summer resort to provide cooking performances for the show girls.
If you didn't check that part, you would have missed it.
Unexpectedly, they not only checked, but also checked in detail.
"So I later thought that this poison might require a considerable amount to cause discomfort."
Eunuch Ge continued to describe the investigation: "Everyone who drank Qiu Lanqin's soup that day was limited to one bowl.
That bowl was smaller than the teacup.
It’s not much bigger.
It’s estimated that on average, each person can only drink two or three peppers.”
"If it's such a small amount, even if it's all arsenic, it won't necessarily be a problem."

Eunuch Ge obviously thought that the fact that the clan members who drank the soup were doing well did not mean that there was nothing wrong with the pepper.
"We also asked the clan members," Eunuch Du looked at Xia Xiaodong with a smile: "They said that the taste was a bit weird.
I don't know if they are not used to drinking pepper soup, or there is something wrong with it."
Yes, I even did follow-up visits.
Xia Xiaodong gave up the idea of continuing along the pepper line.
"Girl, is there anything else you want to ask?"
Eunuch Du's attitude was very good.
"I also want to know the specific method of making the pepper paste, as well as the painting process."
Xia Xiaodong smiled: "It would be nice if I could see all the materials needed."
Eunuch Du blinked: "This is easy, but everything is in the Sentence Department.
If the girl wants to see it, she can only go there and see it."
It is always inappropriate to bring out evidence.
"Okay."
Xia Xiaodong agreed immediately.
Although Xia Xiaodong stayed in Jianheng Palace, the other show girls still had to go back to practice the Hu Xuan dance as usual.
Because one person was missing, Xi, the instructor in charge of the line dance, simply adopted the method of taking a bye to practice, that is, subtracting another person and changing the original eight people to six people to rehearse, and the one who had a bye would rest.
In this way, everyone takes turns to rest, so there is no need to arrange additional breaks in between.
When the rehearsal time was about to end and the rehearsal for the day was finally completed, Miss Qin Si discovered that several show girls looked at her and their eyes looked wrong.
Miss Qin Si looked around and immediately approached one of them: "Sister Wu, is there something wrong?"
After staying in the palace for the past few days, Miss Qin Si is relatively young among the beautiful ladies, has a sweet mouth, and often shares news, so she has a good relationship with everyone.
This Miss Wu is one of the few beauties in the capital, and she and Miss Qin Si know each other on a regular basis.
Miss Wu quickly pulled Miss Qin Si aside, looking a little nervous: "Isn't that Miss Xia who is sharing the same room with you left behind by Concubine Chen?"
"Yeah, right."
Miss Qin Si nodded, and then realized the problem: "Did something happen to her?"
Miss Wu quickly looked around and said softly: "I heard that not long after we left, someone from the Criminal Punishment Department also passed by."
Why doesn't the Division of Punishment sound like a good thing?
"It was Du Gongzheng who passed by."
Miss Wu said seriously.
Although Eunuch Du is only the Deputy Gongzheng, it is customary for no one to use that title unless the real Gongzheng is nearby.
"But," Miss Qin Si frowned and thought hard: "I see that there is nothing wrong with Concubine Chen's appearance.
Didn't she say that Sister Xiaodong should stay and chat with her?"
"It's an excuse."
Miss Wu disagreed, "And later, people from the Shenxing Department took Miss Xia away."
"Take it away."
Now Miss Qin couldn't calm down: "Take it away where?"
"It should be the Criminal Punishment Department."
Miss Wu guessed.
Who dares to follow Gong Zheng from the Criminal Investigation Department to see if he is taken away by the people from the Criminal Punishment Division?
The natural thought is to be taken to the Criminal Punishment Division.
Miss Qin Si was a little confused: "Sister Xiaodong has always been a good person, what could happen to her being taken away by people from the Criminal Punishment Department?"
She unconsciously raised her head and looked in the direction of Miss Jiang.
If anything happened, it was just a small conflict with Miss Jiang because of the change of house on the day we first moved in.
This is not enough to go to the Criminal Punishment Department
