Transmigrated into Substitute Bride 'Fu Lang'

The official came to the store just now, and took away the cashier in the store. The diners outside the door who were waiting to eat could clearly see that they were talking about it, but now they heard that the little boss was going to close the store. , the flames of gossip can't be resisted no matter what.

Some cheeky and curious ones simply asked Chen Xing, who was about to close the door, the doubts in his heart, "Little boss, why was the accountant in your store taken away by the official?"

Chen Xing closed the door with a hand, smiled slightly at the guest who asked the question, and said generously: "There is some misunderstanding, Mr. Guan asked him to go over and ask, and he will be back soon."

Seeing Chen Xing's generous appearance, these people who wanted to gossip lost more than half of their sarcasm, and even vaguely believed that the matter was just like what the little boss said, and that the official was just here. The cashier went to ask questions, not what was wrong with the store, so he was taken to the Yamen.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Chen Xing said a few words to them, and agreed that he would notify them in advance when the store reopened, and then closed the store directly, ignoring the rumors outside.

The moment the store door closed, Chen Xing leaned against the door panel and let out a long breath. Then he thought of Gu Lang who was taken away, his lips pursed into a straight line, and then walked into the back kitchen.He had to find out that poisonous thing as soon as possible before he knew where the problem was.

When Chen Xing came to the kitchen, the things inside had been turned into a mess, it looked like a tangle of hemp ropes, and there was no clear thread at all.

Chen Xing rubbed his slightly painful forehead, looked at the messy scene, and quickly said: "Everyone, this is too messy, let's move the things to the backyard to sort them, and then check them one by one. That way Problem, that is no problem, and you can recognize it at a glance."

The people who were messing around like headless chickens looked at each other after hearing Chen Xing's words, and then followed his words and began to move all the edible things in the kitchen to the yard, waiting for inspection one by one .

Just as Chen Xing and the others were intensively searching for the poison in their shop, not far from the entrance of their shop, in the corner of an alley, stood a man with a wretched expression.

The man stared at the door of Chen's small restaurant, watched the officer come and took a man away, watched the crowd that had gathered there gradually disperse, after confirming that the restaurant would not open again, he turned around and left Leaving this dark corner, he walked towards the residential area in the distance.

On the other side, Gu Lang followed the group of officials all the way to the yamen, acting very leisurely along the way, without any tension at all.

This made the officer in charge of escorting him murmur, and finally, when he was about to reach the gate of the yamen, he couldn't help asking, "Aren't you afraid?"

Hearing this, Gu Lang turned to look at him, with a bit of doubt in his dark eyes, as if he was questioning why he would ask such a question.

The official was a little terrified by that stare, but when he thought that his question had not been answered, he still felt a little bit unwilling. The people who mentioned the Yamen were not trembling, frightened and uneasy, but this person in front of him was not only innocent. The meaning of fear, it seems that they don't take their Yamen seriously at all.

So the official who was unwilling to do so asked the question just now again.

This time, Gu Lang didn't ignore his question anymore, but looked at him and said indifferently: "I have never done anything harmful to nature, and I don't feel guilty. If that's the case, why should I be afraid."

The official was speechless by what he said, but when he thought about it carefully, it happened to be the truth.As a result, when he entered the yamen, when he looked at Gu Lang, who was leading the way without any fear, his expression was no longer disturbed.

When Gu Lang walked into the yamen, he immediately saw the county magistrate sitting in the lobby, Mr. Xu beside him, and the yamen servants standing on both sides.He walked forward and bowed slightly to the person above, which was regarded as a courtesy.

The county magistrate looked at his movements, but seemed to be taken aback, and said with a bit of uneasiness on his face: "Why do you need to do this, get up straight quickly."

Gu Lang followed the trend and raised his head, looked at the county magistrate who was fidgeting above him, his voice was calm and irresistible: "The grass people came here like this because our store was slandered, saying that our store is harmful Cao Min dares to let Cao Min see the dead body and the victim's family."

"Here." Rao was the magistrate who vaguely guessed the origin of the person in front of him, and he frowned when he heard his request at this time, with a somewhat troubled look on his face.

Seeing that he was hesitant but not in a hurry to deny it, Gu Lang slightly lowered his eyelashes, and continued: "How can we convict our restaurant based on the family's one-sided words? If I can meet the family, Wouldn't it be easier to reveal the truth if confronted face to face?"

Master Xu heard his words, hesitantly looked at the county magistrate above, and saw the county magistrate slapped the table, and responded righteously: "You are right, it should be so."

Master Xu silently closed his mouth.

When the group of them came to the side room of the yamen and saw the dead body parked there and the family members who kept crying next to the dead body, everyone in the government house showed unbearable expressions, only Gu Lang's expression was unchanged from the beginning. changed.

Gu Lang first took a look at the situation in the room, then looked at the victim's family members who were crying as if they were about to faint, and finally looked at the corpse lying on the ground, and then walked up to the room without the slightest hesitation. Go forward and tear off the white cloth covering the corpse.

Under the white cloth was a corpse that had changed a bit. It didn't look good at the moment, and even because of Gu Lang's actions, the smell that was originally shrouded in it radiated out, which suffocated everyone present.

Everyone covered their noses and retched non-stop, but Gu Lang stood there without changing his face, as if he didn't smell anything or see anything.

"What are you doing?! Do you want him to die so that he can't live in peace?" A sharp female voice sounded, breaking the calm atmosphere present.

Gu Lang turned his head to look at the woman, who seemed to be in her early thirties, about the same age as the man lying down, and should be a husband and wife relationship.He had a judgment in his heart but didn't say anything. Instead, he confirmed it again, "What's your relationship with this man?"

The woman looked very angry, but facing the frosty man in front of her and the many officials and lords standing at the door, she did not dare to act recklessly, so she could only hold back the anger in her heart and replied: "He is my husband. "

Gu Lang looked at the man on the ground, his cheeks were fleshless, his face was yellow and thin, he looked not very healthy when he was alive, and continued: "How did your man die?"

The anger on the woman's face was stunned by his words, and then she looked in the direction of the man with a bit of vigilance on her face, as if she was speaking to herself or to others, she said loudly: " He was poisoned to death by that Chen family restaurant!"

After observing the corpses on the ground, Gu Lang made some judgments in his heart, then looked at the standing woman, and said with a half-smile: "Oh, really? Are you really sure that your husband was poisoned to death, not sick? and die?"

The woman's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the man in front of her who didn't look like an ordinary person, but didn't wear official clothes, a guilty conscience first appeared on her face, and then she seemed to think of something, and suddenly sat on the ground and burst into tears. Opened his voice and yelled loudly:

"Head of the family, have you seen it! My life is so miserable! You left us orphans and widows like this and left, how will we live in the future! Let us be here to call those who should not be called every day and the earth will not work. Even Master Qingtian didn’t uphold justice for us. Why are we still alive! We can’t even ask you for justice! They all bully us orphans and widows!”

The woman's voice was quite loud, and there was a posture that seemed to be yelling, and the surrounding crowd also showed a bit of embarrassment at this time.

In the end, it was the magistrate of the county who gave Mr. Xu a wink, and Mr. Xu walked up to the woman with a wrinkled face and said with a cold face: "If you have been wronged, we will certainly avenge you. This is an important place in the yamen. It's not a busy street, so you can't tolerate here."

Master Xu's words were sonorous and forceful, and the woman who was already somewhat guilty gradually put away her snarky posture, looked at him and said with some fear: "Yes, Master, I understand."

Gu Lang, who had been watching from the side, saw that everyone's emotions had calmed down, so he stood up, looked at the woman and said, "Ma'am, how did your husband die, the yamen will give you justice. It's just that If you have wronged others, I am afraid this matter will not be so easy to settle."

When the woman looked at the handsome man in front of her, she felt that those cold eyes seemed to see through everything about her, which made her shiver, and she couldn't help feeling a bad premonition in her heart.She still wanted to say something, wanted to redeem something, but saw that the man had turned his head to look at the magistrate and the others, and said something that made her terrified.

"My lord, please do a job and bring me a live chicken. I can prove why this man didn't die of poisoning, and why this woman dares to swear that he died of poisoning."

As soon as the man's voice fell, the surrounding eyes all looked at him, among which the woman's eyes were the strongest.

After being slightly dazed, the woman seemed to have come to her senses suddenly, and rushed towards Gu Lang, as if she wanted to throw a tantrum, "Fart, my man died of poisoning, or he ate the food from that restaurant." ! He died of poisoning! He died of poisoning!!”

Seeing that woman was going to fight, the surrounding officials quickly stopped her, and even got scratched on the face during the tugging.

Gu Lang looked at the woman who was getting more and more crazy, sneered lightly, turned to the county magistrate next to him, and said calmly: "Minister county, invite someone!"

The magistrate seemed to have come to his senses, nodded quickly, then looked at the woman who was wrestling with the officials, and shouted in a low voice: "Enough! If you have grievances, I will refuse you even if you have a black hat." , and will find out the grievance for you. If you continue to mess around here now, I will put you in prison and let you reflect enough before you come out. "

Seeing the county magistrate getting angry, the woman finally stopped her snarky actions, and looked at the official servant who was going to hire him, a guilty conscience gradually appeared on her face.

Seeing the woman's performance, Gu Lang slowly raised the corners of his lips, making that handsome face a bit colder.

Chen Xing and the others worked hard all morning, and finally found out that poisonous thing, which turned out to be the dried seafood they bought recently.

Looking at the dried seafood with some freshness, Chen Xing tightly pursed his lips, looking like he was in a bad mood, and the shop assistants next to him looked at Chen Xing's state, and asked cautiously Said: "Little boss, since this thing is found, what should we do next?"

Chen Xing was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Wait for Qiu Shi and the others to come back first, listen to what they have found out, and then see if you want to take this thing to the grocery store to confront. If it is destroyed now, I am afraid it will be destroyed." Get it right."

Hearing Chen Xing's words, the people next to him couldn't help feeling a little bit of admiration. If it was them in the current situation, they would definitely destroy the things directly, and they would still think so much.
