Chapter 1437: Goodbye Fan Jian
After all, things like poisoning alcohol with the direct intention of taking people's lives are rare, and poisoners often cannot escape legal punishment.
In fact, the main purpose of the Yuanyang Pot is not to test poison.
One use is to poison people.
Everyone drank poisonous wine together, but what they drank was pure water.
Combined with chronic poison, it kills people invisible.
Of course, these are only a few, and there are only rumors in the market.
It really has other wonderful uses, such as persuading people to drink.
In ancient times, there were no entertainment activities. Drinking and chatting was a common pastime, especially for people hanging out in the venue.
Not all nobles drink well, they are also smarter and know that it is easy to say the wrong thing when they are drunk.
In the feudal era, saying the wrong thing was punishable by beheading.
The nobles who were not good at drinking designed this kind of wine flask.
On the surface, it looks no different from an ordinary hip flask. In fact, there is a special control switch at the bottom of the pot.
The wine flask is actually divided into two compartments, one of which has been filled with water before drinking.
The wine will be poured directly into the outside of the jug.
When you want to pour wine, you only need to put your hand against the armrest of the flask to control whether the wine or water is poured out.
Therefore it is called Yuanyang Pot.
Of course, this kind of pot was first seen among the aristocrats of the Ming Dynasty. It was not made purely for the purpose of poisoning. It was because many of the high-ranking officials at that time did not like drinking.
But if you mix too much on the scene, you will need to drink more or less.
And this kind of hip flask is the design they used to steal and replace others.
This was actually the first time Lin Ran saw the Yuanyang Pot, and he was actually very interested in its structure.
In ancient times, there was no technology such as chips, but Chinese craftsmen were at the forefront of the world in mechanical research.
The design of the wine pot is actually similar to the mechanism in the tomb.
As for the black appearance of the hip flask, it couldn’t be simpler.
If it were really an iron kettle, it would be rusty by now, and it couldn't be in such good condition.
Silver will turn black due to oxidation. The purer the silver, the higher the degree of oxidation.
The appraiser in Deng Yunjin's jewelry store should be able to tell, but he has no idea at all, which means.
Deng Yunjin is either a hands-off shopkeeper, or he sells platinum and mixed silver in his shop.
As the owner of a jewelry store, I actually thought that all silver was sparkling. Is it possible that I had never seen silver coins from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and none of them had a dark appearance.
"What are you talking about?" Deng Yunjin said quickly, "I just feel a little strange why the silver has become so black."
He was still trying to find excuses, making it clear that he didn't want the pot.
In other words, there are deeper needs.
"Boss Deng, what you said is wrong." After getting Jiang Li's approval, Hong Da became more forceful when he spoke, "You keep saying that mine is a fake, do you have any evidence?"
Seeing that the other party couldn't answer, Hongda also started to be aggressive.
"Do you still want it? If not, you can pay the compensation, which is only 500 yuan, and then the contract will be returned to you." Hongda was also a little impatient.
Hongda was not afraid of Deng Yunjin's regrets at all about the genuine Yuanyang Pot, and there were many people who wanted to buy it.
It's just that Deng Yunjin was so aggressive just now. If he didn't sell it to him and broke the contract privately, he would be criticized as having a guilty conscience.
I brought the stuff but didn't pay for it.
"It's not that I don't want to pay. Wait a minute." Deng Yunjin was vague and finally revealed his true purpose.
"Oh? There are other guests, why didn't I know?" Mr. Huo's face condensed. This is not a hotel, but his home.
Who dares to come to his home without his invitation?
In Nanling City, anyone from the dignified Huo family can come if they want!
Frightened by Mr. Huo's anger, Deng Yunjin no longer had the arrogant expression he had just now, and looked a little submissive.
"Mr. Huo, please listen to my explanation..." Deng Yunjin knew that Mr. Huo was about to get angry. If he didn't explain clearly, he might not be able to survive in Nanling City in the future.
The atmosphere was tense again.
At this time, a man's laughter actually came from the door.
And this voice sounded familiar to Lin Ran.
"Hahahaha, Uncle Huo, my father asked me to come to visit my uncle, but he doesn't seem to welcome me?"
The door was pushed open.
Fan Jian's figure appeared in front of everyone, and next to him was Xu Tianhua.
Did not expect to meet here.
Mr. Huo was still angry at first, but when he saw that it was Fan Jian, his anger was suppressed.
There are also gaps among large families.
Although they are equally famous, the Huo family is actually in a lower position and cannot be compared with the Fan family and the Ke family.
Mr. Huo is eager to obtain an official position because of this consideration.
Just playing the tricks of the world, he is no match for these two families, whether it is human or financial resources.
"Nephew Fan, I haven't seen you for a long time. You didn't even say a word to me when you came." Mr. Huo suppressed his displeasure and said with a smile.
"Hey, if I tell you, there will be no surprises." Fan Jian said self-righteously.
Seeing Fan Jian, Deng Yunjin felt like he had seen a savior.
It turned out that Fan Jian was the one he was waiting for.
At this time, Fan Jian also noticed Lin Ran and Jiang Li, who were sitting with the Ke family at that time. He always held a grudge against them.
"Hey, isn't this the treasure appraiser of the Ke family? He's really like a scoundrel, following whoever gives him money. Why did he come to the Huo family to eat and drink again?" Fan Jian thought Lin Ran had come to seek refuge with the Huo family. .
That would have saved him a lot of trouble.
"Brother Fan Jian, long time no see, he still lives up to his name!" Lin Ran replied unceremoniously.
I really don’t know why the Fan family gave their son this name.
In fact, this was mainly a misunderstanding. When registering, they registered Yunjian.
However, the person in charge of registration had a low level of education and wrote the wrong words.
The original registration was also for a casual position, mainly to give people I knew a job to earn a living.
After this incident, the registrant was transferred to work in a remote mountainous area, but Fan Jian's name finally came down.
Fortunately, his family's reputation is very high, and no one in the local area dares to laugh at him.
Even people from other families, no one dared to make fun of his name.
Lin Ran was the first.
Fan Jian gritted his teeth, but Jiang Li covered her mouth and smiled because of Lin Ran's words.
This made him feel very humiliated.
Seeing Fan Jian's displeased look, Mr. Huo immediately stood up and stood up.
"Mr. Lin said something too much, but Mr. Lin is my guest, and I apologize to you on his behalf here." Mr. Huo held the tea cup, "I drank tea instead of wine."
"No need." Fan Jian's face was livid, "Actually, I had thought about it a long time ago, but some things delayed it, so I am only free today."
Fan Jian also got straight to the point.
"I came to Nanling City this time to find a counterfeiting gang!" Fan Jian expressed his purpose of coming, and his eyes rested on the brocade box on the table.
This move made Lin Ran realize that the other party was prepared.
But, why did Fan Jian do this?Deal with the Huo family?
