Love after marriage: Abandoned wife and second marriage

The next day, the hour.

The county lord puts on his official uniform and starts hearing the Fuzhen building poisoning incident.

At this time, the hall was full of onlookers.

Wu Xiang was kneeling in the hall, and the county lord was sitting high in the hall. Behind him hung the four dragon-flying characters of "Mirror Hanging High".

The magistrate looked solemn and slapped the gavel. With a "pop", the hall fell into silence.

"Who is kneeling in the hall?"

Wu Xiang raised his head slowly, and said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "Xiaomin Wu Xiang is the shopkeeper of Fuzhen Building."

Qian Lishi raised her head slowly, with a sad face, and said with a choked throat: "The daughter of the people, Qian Lishi, is the wife of the deceased Qian Abao."

The county master said: "Qian Li, who do you want to sue?"

Qian Lishi said: "My lord, my husband had lunch at Fuzhen Building at noon on September [-]th. After he came back that day, he felt uncomfortable in his stomach. We thought it was an ordinary stomachache and didn't pay attention, but after that It didn't take long for my husband's stomach to hurt so badly that we realized that something serious happened. When we found a doctor, we were powerless to treat him. My lord, you have to make decisions for us ordinary people! My husband is dead. Injustice?"

The county master widened his eyes, blew his beard, and said in a loud voice: "Wu Xiang, the deceased Qian Abao died of food poisoning from eating your Fuzhen Building. Are you to blame for this?"

Wu Xiang had already thought up a countermeasure in the prison last night, and he answered it very handy today. He cried, "My lord, have you been wronged!?"

The county master said: "Wu Xiang, tell me, why did you get wronged?"

"Xiaomin, Xiaomin..." Wu Xiang bit his lower lip, turned his black eyes a few times, and defended himself: "My lord, Xiaomin doesn't even know who Qian Abao you are talking about. He has never met before, and he has no grievances or enmities, why should he be poisoned to kill him? This is completely unreasonable?"

The county master thought for a while, and based on his past experience in handling cases, it was indeed illogical, but he did not rule out the existence of deception, and asked, "Wu Xiang, is everything you said true?"

Wu Xiang said in a firm and sonorous tone, "My lord, everything is true."

Just as Wu Xiang was relaxing, the county master suddenly raised his voice, slapped the gavel again, and said, "Wu Xiang, you are talking nonsense, you know that Qian Abao won the prize after eating the food from your Fuzhen Tower." Poison, do you dare to say that this matter has nothing to do with you? Am I a stupid official when you are an adult?"

Wu Xiang followed the route he had set, step by step, he said: "My lord, Xiaomin is not talking nonsense. It is true that Qian Abao ate my food from Fumanlou, but Xiaomin got a piece of news."

After a pause, the county master became interested and asked, "Oh? What's the news?"

Wu Xiang said: "My lord, according to the news, Qian Abao should have been poisoned after eating the tofu and spinach in my store. And this tofu, my lord, do you know who invented it?"

The county master glanced at the master, but the master shook his head and didn't know. The county master then turned his attention to Wu Xiang and asked with interest, "Oh? Then who do you think invented it?"

A gleam flashed in Wu Xiang's eyes, and he said: "Sir, this was invented by a little lady in Meiyu Village, named Ru Yi, and I got the tofu from Fuzhen Tower from her. If anyone killed the deceased, then whoever killed the deceased would have to pay for it." If I want to say it must be her, because this kind of tofu and spinach cannot be eaten together, but she never told us, so I think she is trying to figure it out."
