Chapter 287
April 16.
The suspect in the poisoning case that happened half a month ago in Zuitingxuan was arrested and brought to justice.
The people of Yancheng went to inquire about the news, but in the end they only saw a body that was soaked in water that it was swollen and white.
The body was placed on the cart, covered with a layer of linen cloth to block the body's face and then pushed it towards the county government.
Seeing such a scene, people watching the fun started to talk.
"Why is this person a woman?"
"Didn't Zuitingxuan's purchasing is a man? He's obviously a woman."
"That's it, I heard that the poisoned one hasn't woken up yet..."
Everyone was talking, but no one wanted to believe that the woman on the cart would be the one who was poisoning in Zuitingxuan.
The yamen runners did not explain much, and they just dispersed the crowd and pushed the cart to the county yamen.
Liu Jie, the county yamen, frowned his eyebrows very tightly, and he was so anxious that he was paced back and forth.
They also found out that the problem was the seasoning in the dish.
The silensis, which looks like the Western Regions, is a full poison.
They also checked the dishes and the kitchen they shipped back that day, and the problem lies in the spice bag marked with silensis.
A bag of five kilograms of spices was mixed with three kilograms of cumin and one kilogram of lying fennel. The rest was this poisonous choke.
The rest of the warehouse was filled with cumin mixed with wood chips.
Anyone with eyes can tell that it is because the purchaser is cheated of being greedy for cheapness.
The person in charge of the procurement is Peng Xin, who is Mrs. He's cousin. Although he knows that he has gained a foothold in Zuitingxuan by Mrs. He, everyone respectfully calls him "Manager Peng".
They were originally going to take Peng Xin back to the county government, but they were blocked by Mrs. He.
I just said that this incident was caused by Peng Xin's concubine, and he ran away with money after the incident.
Peng Xin also asked the concubine to sue him on the spot to buy low and sell high and frame him for his life.
In the end, there was no choice but to temporarily seal Peng Xin's courtyard and send someone to investigate the whereabouts of the beautiful concubine.
After about half a month, the body of the beautiful concubine was fished out from the moat in the south of the city.
The white and tender skin used to be swollen into a terrifying appearance. Yingying's waist was soaked in a bucket. When the yamen runners were catching people, they would seep out water as they moved, and their faces were even more eyeballs protruding from their cheeks. If it weren't for the jewelry on their body, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see who it was.
But Peng Xin was brought up by someone and looked at the corpse and started crying: "My little heart! Why are you leaving like this!"
Peng Xin cried heartbrokenly, and Mrs. He, who was beside her, turned her head away in disgust.
She said at the beginning that this woman is not a good thing, but her cousin doesn't believe it, but now she understands it.
Knowing that something happened to him, he immediately took the silver to run away, but he was not defeated by death, and he finally blocked the disaster for him.
"Mr. Liu, now we have arrested everyone, and we have given all the evidence witnesses. My cousin is fine, right?" Mrs. He was a little farther away from the body on the ground and looked at Liu Jie and smiled.
Liu Jie looked at the smile on Mrs. He's face and felt a little cold behind him. Even though he knew that everything was her work, there was no evidence.
After all, the so-called witnesses went to the county government to testify for Peng Xin on the second day of the incident, and only said that what they saw was a beautiful woman hugging Peng Xin's subordinates and conspiring to do something.
"Mrs. He, I still can't afford to say "Adult".
"Then I will take my cousin away. As for that concubine, I'll ask you to deal with it."
After Mrs. He finished speaking, she only gently kicked Peng Xin, who was crying sadly, and then walked out.
"Mrs. He, I'm here to remind you that if you do some things too much, you will be rewarded sooner or later."
Liu Jie's voice sounded coldly, and Peng Xin, who had just gotten up, felt cold behind him.
Even the movement of raising his feet became a little staggering.
Mrs. He just paused slightly, then left the county government office expressionlessly.
Retribution, how can this thing be taken as real?
If there is really a so-called retribution, how could my mother be abandoned by such a unfaithful man?
Mr. He of the He family was talking to the manager about Yanzhizhuangzi in the study.
The batch of orders was returned, and the goods were sent back. They also named their own farm as a fake one. Many shops that had business dealings with their own houses were also stopped. Their family lost nearly 20,000 taels.
"Master, this is the rouge they sent. He said, "This is the real thing, and the ones we sent later are all wrong."
The manager of Yanzhizhuang trembled and placed two boxes of rouge in front of Mr. He.
These two boxes of rouge were made in his own farm, and he recognized them.
But why is this said to be different?
Mr. He's face was a little heavy, and he didn't speak, but just opened two boxes of rouge and looked at it.
The two boxes of rouge look no different from the outside, and the powder inside looks the same.
Seeing that the master did not speak, the manager in the village looked up slightly and looked at his reaction quietly. Seeing that his eyebrows were getting tighter and tighter, he felt even more nervous.
The raw materials used for these rouge are the same things. He really doesn't know what's wrong.
"He Fu, come in." Mr. He put two boxes of rouge on the table, and his eyelids twitched.
He Fu, who was outside the door, heard his master calling him, and hurriedly opened the door and went in, fearing that he would be scolded by him if he was too late.
"Master, is there anything wrong?"
"These two boxes of rouge, see what's wrong." Mr. He pointed at the two boxes of rouge, his eyes a little tired.
There are only two sons and one daughter under my knees, and the only one who is born is still a son. But now my youngest son is making trouble for the family because of a woman, and he is even more on a hunger strike.
Although the eldest son was obedient, he was born to his concubine. He wanted to hand over the family matters to him, but he was afraid that his wife would not agree.
"Yes, Master."
He Fu is an old man from the He family. He has been with him since he was young, and now he is considered a veteran of the He family.
Now he was taking the two boxes of rouge and then sniffing the smell carefully, as if he was uncertain, and even reached out to wipe some of his palms.
After half a quarter of an hour, the manager on the side could no longer stand. He Fu then said, "Master, although these two boxes of rouge look similar, the sticky color on the left is still a bit uneven when applied to the hand. It smells a bit too thick. The box on the right is fragrant and very lubricating when applied to the hand."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Fu stood aside again. The manager next to him heard his words and broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.
"You said the things you use for these two boxes are the same. How come there is so much difference?" Mr. He rubbed his eyebrows, with a little unpleasant tone.
"This, this, lord, I really don't know that our ingredients and recipes are the same. I have been watching them all and dare not make any mistakes."
"Then what you mean is, I blamed you wrong?" Mr. He grabbed the inkstone beside him and smashed it towards the manager.
"No, I don't dare." The inkstone barely rubbed his cheeks. Although it hurt, he didn't dare to dodge.
"Twenty thousand taels! This incident caused me to lose 20,000 taels!"
"Maybe it, maybe it's related to Miss Su." The manager seemed to remember something suddenly, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.
