"That's right, can the compensation be exchanged for my brother's life? The three of us brothers have been dependent on each other since childhood. I didn't expect that you, a group of profiteers, would use poisonous rice to harm us in order to make money. Is there any way to do this?"
The two brothers shouted angrily.
The people on the side also felt sad. Some who had already bought rice looked at the rice in their hands and hesitated whether to return it or not.
Cheap is cheap, but no matter how cheap it is, life is not important.
"Then what do you want?" Hua Yanxi still said calmly.
He looked so talkative, which was completely different from what they thought.
Shouldn't we try to argue with them based on our reasoning?
How can they continue to cause trouble if we don't break up?
The two of them subconsciously looked at the crowd. Hua Yanxi looked over with sharp eyes, and sure enough she saw a familiar figure in the crowd.
After getting the hint, the two of them were at ease.
"We're going to smash your shop!" As he said this, one person stepped forward and kicked over the rice in the dustpan and started smashing it.
"Come on, come with us to see the official!" One person stretched out his hand to grab Hua Yanxi, but Hua Yanxi easily dodged it.
When the guys behind him saw this, they immediately picked up their guys and stood in front of Hua Yanxi.
Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted: "These people are so arrogant. They have harmed others and yet they are so arrogant. Do they think that we are all being taken advantage of? Folks, smash this black shop! Let's see if they still dare to be arrogant."
As he said that, several people who had been ambushing the crowd rushed out and wanted to help the two brothers smash the store. The two sides were at war with each other.
At this time, Hua Yanxi said: "Don't worry about them. You stand back and protect the food. Don't waste it."
The guys immediately stepped back and moved the bags of grain that had been placed outside into the store.
Only a few tables, dustpans, and scales for weighing were left at the door, and they were smashed clean in a few strokes.
Seeing that more and more people were gathering and making trouble, the effect had been achieved. Hua Yanxi then started to ask: "You said that your brother ate our rice, so why didn't anything happen to you two?"
"Seeing that my brother fell to the ground in front of us and got into trouble, how dare we eat it? He died immediately after eating it. What else could it be if it wasn't your rice?" the boss said viciously, and wiped it with his hands.
Wipe your eyes that are not crying at all.
Hua Yanxi raised her eyebrows: "Is it so toxic?"
"That's right!"
"When did you buy the rice? The rice we have here comes in two-hundred-jin bags. If it is really poisonous, your family must not be the only one to be involved in the accident. Why didn't anyone else come to make trouble?"
"It was yesterday! Don't even think about denying it!"
"You have misunderstood. I am not shirking responsibility. I am helping you find the real murderer."
"Why are we looking for the real culprit? The real culprit is you!"
Hua Yanxi looked at the people in the crowd: "There should be many of you who came and queued up yesterday, right? Are you doing anything with your family after you eat?"
Hearing what Hua Yanxi said, many people felt a little embarrassed.
Most of them queue up to buy rice every day. Not only do they buy it themselves, they also ask their family members to queue up together, just to buy more stock.
"Who knows if the poison is mixed in it? Our brothers happened to buy the poisonous rice, but even so, the poisonous rice is scary enough. Who knows if there will be someone unlucky in the future? Whoever is lucky will buy it.
We’re here.” The boss said loudly.
Hua Yanxi nodded and said in a good temper: "Have you brought the poisonous rice over? Let's take it to the Yamen for inspection?"
When the boss heard this, he subconsciously looked at his second son.
The second child reacted quickly and immediately said: "We have finished cooking that rice, just one bucket of rice. The three of us brothers have big appetites."
A bucket of rice weighs four kilograms, not to mention that most people use it to make porridge or mix it with buckwheat noodles or rice. Three people can't finish it.
But Hua Yanxi didn't say anything, just said: "What about the cooked rice? Your brother died suddenly, so he probably didn't have time to eat much. You didn't eat either, so the rice should still be there, right?"
Still asking the boss.
The boss scratched his head, thinking that this girl was so annoying, always asking questions that he couldn't answer.
I can only continue to look at the second child.
The second child is helpless, so he shouldn't be asked to come with him today. It won't be enough.
"Knowing that the rice was poisonous, why did we keep it? It must have been thrown away."
"Where did it go? Tell me. I'll send someone to clean it up and bring it to the government for inspection. Then the truth will be revealed. If there is really something wrong with our rice, don't say you smashed my shop. I should kill someone to pay for it."
"Yes." Hua Yanxi's tone was particularly upright.
"Oh no, I forgot! My brother is dead, how can I care about so much? You can't open this store anymore anyway, and we can't let others suffer the same fate as my brother. As for the compensation you mentioned, that will come later.
matter."
Originally, he was supposed to drag the person in front of him to see the official, but now that she took the initiative to say that she wanted to see the official and have her checked, he didn't dare to say anything.
"That won't work. We have to figure things out. We can't let your brother die in vain." Hua Yanxi was actually more positive than him at this time.
"Since your brother died suddenly and suddenly, there should still be rice left in his stomach. He can be taken to the corpse for an autopsy and examination. You don't want your brother to die in an unknown way, right? Come on, help carry him.
Go to the Yamen."
As he spoke, he began to greet his colleagues.
"What! You want to cut open my brother's body? No!" The second brother also panicked and immediately stopped him.
"This matter is full of doubts, and our store can't believe you just based on your few words." Hua Yanxi became more assertive at this moment, and directly asked people to stop the two of them.
"Vicious woman, you poisonous woman, the person is already dead, and you still want her head to be dismembered! No, we don't agree!"
"That's right, we don't agree. Are you taking advantage of the large number of people to bully us with the small number of people? Folks, you can't let them carry my brother away. My brother was killed by them. Now they don't want to repent and want to touch his body.
.”
"You yourself said that you want me to pay for my life. Since this is your request, what's wrong with me agreeing to you? I promise here in front of everyone that if it is proved that the rice in his stomach is authentic after being cut open,
It's poisonous, so I'll just die to apologize for my sins in exchange for my life. Isn't this kind of guarantee not enough?" Hua Yanxi pinched her eyebrows in a distressed manner: "Are you here to ask for an explanation, or are you here to cause trouble?"
The common people who originally wanted to help and speak now persuaded him instead.
"I think what this girl is saying is somewhat reasonable. Since it's poisoning, we have to check it out. Otherwise, why don't we ask a doctor to examine it?"
"The doctor can only tell if it's poisoning, but he can't tell what he ate. He has to look for someone to do it."
Everyone's words to each other made the two brothers tremble with fear.
No one noticed that the corpse on the stretcher trembled.
