Seeing that the situation had calmed down, everyone left one after another.
Those who were not involved in the poisoning naturally called their own carriages and took them back to their homes.
As for those who were poisoned, Hu Changan thoughtfully sent a servant to escort them to their respective homes.
Before leaving, Hu Changan also specifically told everyone who was poisoned to buy saltpeter on their own in the next few days and follow Hu Changan's method.
After all, carbon oxide poisoning is a serious matter, and subsequent careful treatment is required to fully return to normal.
When everyone heard this, they all responded in agreement.
After all, they have all personally experienced the mystery of this gas.
For the sake of their own bodies, they will do the same!
After finishing a series of things, it was almost midnight.
However, Hu Changan did not leave directly, but arranged another shift and ordered everyone to guard the private room involved 24 hours a day, and no one was allowed to enter.
Although there are currently no casualties, Hu Changan can bet that the people behind the scenes will not miss this opportunity.
Tomorrow, there is still a tough battle to be fought!
...
Sure enough, as soon as he went to court the next day, Hu Changan was impeached by the censor.
The person who impeached Hu Changan was a strange censor.
On the surface, he does not belong to any force, but privately, it is hard to tell.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
"Last night, everyone from the Household Department went to have dinner at Mr. Hu's hot pot restaurant, and someone was actually poisoned on the spot in the hot pot restaurant!"
"I suspect that someone may have deliberately poisoned the food!"
"The first suspect is naturally the owner of the hot pot restaurant, Mr. Hu!"
"And even if Mr. Hu was not involved in the poisoning, after all, this incident happened in Hu's hotpot restaurant, then Mr. Hu is also suspected of poor supervision."
"I believe that a thorough investigation must be carried out at this time!"
"If you dare to harm an official of the imperial court, you will be punished!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his originally leisurely face suddenly became a little condensed, and his body sat upright involuntarily.
The person who dares to harm the imperial officials at the feet of the emperor is indeed tired of life!
What's more important is that this Hu's hotpot restaurant has his own inscription!
Zhu Yuanzhang had just finished writing an inscription on his front foot when something like this happened on his back foot. This was a slap in the face.
This matter must be thoroughly investigated!
Zhu Yuanzhang turned to Hu Changan with a serious expression: "Shilang Hu, do you have anything to say?"
Although Zhu Yuanzhang looked serious, he did not suspect that Hu Changan did this.
After all, it can be seen from past interactions that Hu Changan is a smart man.
I believe Hu Changan would never be able to do such a stupid thing, brazenly murdering a court official in his own shop.
This incident was either an accident, or someone was causing trouble!
However, before Hu Changan had time to state his position, an official from the Ministry of Revenue took the lead and stood up: "Your Majesty, I believe that this matter has nothing to do with Minister Hu."
"After all, this incident happened in Hu's hot pot restaurant. Even if Mr. Hu really wanted to murder us, he should have chosen a better place."
"Committing a crime in Hu's hotpot restaurant will definitely ruin the reputation of the hotpot restaurant."
"Shilang Hu should be a smart man and would not do such lowly things."
"More importantly, Mr. Hu arrived very late that day and was not at the scene when the incident occurred."
"And as soon as he arrived at the scene, Shilang Hu immediately took first aid measures to the poisoned officials in order to save their names."
"If this was done by Mr. Hu, he would never be stupid enough to come and save us."
After hearing this, another official also stood up: "Your Majesty, I am more inclined to believe that this matter was an accident."
“Every winter, people die because of improper burning of charcoal.”
"Although Mr. Hu didn't burn charcoal there, he also burned briquettes."
"I believe that this incident may have been caused by improper burning of briquettes."
"Yesterday, I specially found a doctor who has experience in this. He is outside the palace now."
Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded when he heard this.
After a while, the doctor was brought up.
Facing Zhu Yuanzhang, the doctor was obviously a little shy.
However, under the urging of the courtier, the doctor still trembled and said: "Your Majesty, Cao Min... Cao Min has also received cases like this before."
"This may be caused by improper burning of charcoal in winter."
"The family that Cao Min treated before was caused by too much charcoal burning in winter and lack of ventilation in the house."
"Because it was discovered too late, no one was alive."
"But their main symptoms at that time were also rosy cheeks and cherry-red lips."
"The common people think that the poison the adults were poisoned this time is probably the same as them."
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
It seems that this poisoning incident is closely related to the burning of the stove.
You must know that what Hu Changan burned was not charcoal, but briquettes.
Briquettes, a new thing, may be more toxic than charcoal.
Besides, Hu Changan’s hotpot restaurant adopts the method of cooking and eating the food now.
If the exhaust gas under the stove cannot be discharged, it is very likely that this will happen.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang believed the doctor's words.
Apparently, it was an accident and he didn't run away.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help feeling a little panicked when he thought of the greenhouse he had just built.
You must know that the structure of this greenhouse is no different from Hu Changan's hot pot restaurant!
When he thought about how many times he had roasted corn in the greenhouse before, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.
Fortunately, nothing happened the first two times. If something happened, I might not even know how I died!
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel a bit resentful towards Hu Changan.
This is true for Hu Changan, this thing is indeed a good thing, but can you confirm its safety first before submitting it?
It seems that Hu Changan is also unreliable.
As a bystander, Hu Changan couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
It seems that the person behind the scenes really understands people's hearts!
On the surface, this is to clear his name.
But in fact, this is convicting him!
After going back and forth like this, although everyone didn't say it on their faces, they probably believed it was an accident in their hearts.
An accident caused by briquettes invented by Hu Changan!
If people think so, then all the things Hu Changan invented will be considered dangerous.
Naturally, no one is willing to try dangerous things.
In this way, not only the sales of briquettes invented by Hu Changan will be affected, but even the things Hu Changan invented before will not escape doom!
The plan of the person behind the scenes is not evil!
