The government officials arrived at the scene quickly, arrested all those people and interrogated them thoroughly.

Since the porridge was provided, there have been normal people who deliberately come here to eat and drink. I thought this would never happen again, but it still happens.

But not all of them were fake, half of them were real hooligans. The fake ones were beaten with sticks and then let go. Otherwise, they would not be locked up before they could even eat just for a little porridge, and food would be wasted on them. They had no choice but to be driven away.

However, the next morning when porridge was being distributed, there were two people in the crowd near Qin's porridge shop who were wearing patched clothes. They had just finished drinking the porridge, and soon after they started crying about stomachaches and rolling on the ground.

This scene frightened the people who were waiting in line for porridge. They all moved away, not daring to touch the two people, and didn't know what was going on.

Ma Liang naturally also noticed this situation and felt his scalp tingling. Will these people ever stop?

He quickly sent someone back to report what happened to his master.

I'm also afraid of another possibility, which is what the princess said, there are more and more refugees, and I hope there won't be people carrying the plague coming.

If it's a plague, they'll all be doomed!

"This Qin family porridge is a black-hearted porridge. The things inside are inedible. Look how people have been sickened by it. I was wondering how the Qin family could be so kind that they came here to feed us ordinary people porridge, but it turns out that they used bad things.

The rice used to make porridge might be moldy!

Otherwise, how could these two people eat so much? Those of you who drank the porridge before should be careful, don't let it poison you to death!"

No one in the crowd knew who was shouting, but everyone else followed suit.

The people who were originally queuing up for porridge also stopped.

Although they were very grateful for the free porridge from the Qin family, they didn't want to risk their lives for it.

Of the two men on the ground, one was foaming at the mouth and motionless, while the other was still struggling slowly, but was spitting out blood.

Fortunately, Ma Liang was quite smart. On the one hand, he sent a servant back to the mansion to report to the old lady, and on the other hand, he asked the servant to report to the government.

The guarding soldiers were also maintaining the scene, and no one was allowed to approach the two people lying on the ground. They just waited for people from the government to come and take the two people away.

"One of the two people lying on the ground was already dead, but they didn't even bother to rush them to the doctor. They were just left lying there. How cruel!"

Someone in the crowd started to incite again, so Ma Liang stared at the crowd to see who was talking. He saw clearly, locked onto a direction, and called out to the other two servants behind him. The two servants immediately mixed into the crowd and soon caught the person who was still chattering and fanning the flames.

"Why did you arrest me?

Am I right?

Everyone, look at this: the Qin family wants to kill people to silence them.

Not letting people tell the truth, isn't that just like a guilty conscience?

Let me go now, I will go to the government office to sue you."

"You don't have to go to the government office to file a complaint. Someone will be coming over soon. You can talk to the official properly then.

It's not like you can slander our Qin family just by talking nonsense.

The Qin family saw that there were many people who accompanied the students to Beijing for the imperial examinations and were reluctant to stay in inns and sleep under the city walls, so they kindly set up tents for you and gave you porridge. And all the beggars who had not tasted the Qin family's porridge were fine.

It was you who started the trouble yesterday, you were deliberately provoking it."

Ma Liang looked around the crowd and said, "I didn't expect that my master and his wife would do something bad with good intentions. In this case, you'd better stay here and don't walk around aimlessly.

Those who have drunk our Qin family's porridge, don't walk around blindly. Someone from the government will come soon, and by the way, let the doctor check the pulses of all of you to prevent someone from deliberately poisoning our porridge. If you leave, if anything happens, you can't blame our Qin family. "

Ma Liang said, pointing at the man they had arrested for making rumors and causing trouble, "This man brought a large group of people here yesterday. They were either refugees or family members of students taking exams. They came here intentionally to cause trouble.

They were beaten and driven away by the officials yesterday, but they came back again today.

Facts speak louder than words, the government will make the final decision!

I dare to guarantee with my head that the Qin family is doing good deeds by distributing porridge. Are they poisoning you all to deliberately ruin their reputation and then go to jail and be beheaded? "

"It's obvious that someone deliberately murdered and framed the Qin family. They just can't stand seeing the Qin family do good things!"

Those who had truly received favors from the Qin family spoke up for the family.

"That's right, there are no such stupid people."

"I think those two people might have been poisoned by this guy and framed the Qin family."

“That’s right, what my sister Qin’s family did was a good thing.

To win over those of us who have nothing to eat and those beggars, is it possible to go to the palace and speak a few good words for the Qin family in front of the emperor, or something like that?"

“What’s the purpose?

You are not kind-hearted, but you are framed by someone with ulterior motives. You will be struck by lightning soon!"

Those who didn't understand the situation at first, after listening to what these people said, thought that it was impossible for the Qin family to do something bad on purpose.

Those who drink Qin's porridge every day know that Qin's porridge is made from fragrant white rice, and there is no moldy rice.

Most of them are farmers. If there is porridge made from moldy rice, they will be able to tell it as soon as they eat it.

Most of them are honest people, but none of them are really stupid. It's easy to connect the dots. This must be related to the group of troublemakers yesterday.

When the prefect heard that something happened to the Qin family again, he specifically greeted him when he left the court, and said that he would come as soon as someone came to look for him.

Not only did many officials come, but the prefect himself also came.

Fortunately, Ma Liangjing had a lot of things to deal with and was able to handle it. This time he caught the real culprit and handed all those people over to the government.

The dead person on the ground was also taken away by the coroner without an autopsy.

But after checking, it was found that the man was not poisoned, and he was so scared that he was shaking like a sieve.

This is terrible, this person is suffering from an epidemic!

"My Lord, please report back to me immediately."

The coroner called his apprentice and whispered some instructions, but he did not dare to touch him because he had already touched a dead body and there was a high probability that he would be infected with the plague.

"Go quickly, what are you still standing there for!"

The coroner's face looked dejected after he finished speaking.

His apprentice went to see the prefect crying.

When the prefect heard the report from the coroner's apprentice, he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground and then slapped himself hard.

"Now is not the time to be cowardly!"

He sent two officers who had not gone out before to report to their superiors, and he brought the previous team to the city gate and surrounded the scene.

This scene scared those people. What was this going to do?
