lord and beauty

"It's true to buy food. But my shop sells more than a hundred cakes in a day. Only this one has an accident. If it's my shop's food problem, there's no such coincidence. All the raw materials needed to make the plum blossom cake have passed through my hands, if there is something wrong with the pastry, then this family should not be the only one with the problem."

Jiang Beimu didn't even look at the woman, but replied neither humble nor overbearing.

"My lord! My husband only drank some porridge for breakfast that day, and didn't eat anything after that. It was not until I went to deliver noodles and cakes to my husband at noon that something happened to him." The woman burst into tears, her eyes crying The ground was red, as if he had been greatly wronged.

"Yes, the third child of my family was normal a few days ago, and after we sent him to the hospital, the doctor saw that he had been poisoned, so he immediately gave him medicine to induce vomiting, and the only thing he vomited was noodles and pastries. Isn't this enough to prove that there is something wrong with this pastry?!" The woman followed closely behind and echoed.

"That's not necessarily true. Who knows if there's something wrong with the noodles." Tan Qiu couldn't see it, and said something abruptly, but Jiang Beimu didn't stop him this time.

The man drinking tea glanced lazily at Tan Qiu, then turned to Jiang Beimu, "It makes sense."

Tan Qiu happily beat the small drum in his heart. If he was a little worried about whether the person in the city lord's mansion would turn against him before, now that Tan Qiu saw that the man was unabashedly supporting him, he knew that this person must have something to do with Jiang Beimu It's so shallow, if it wasn't for the people watching outside, maybe the man didn't even bother to listen and gave the sentence directly.

Jiang Beimu seemed to see the little Jiujiu in Tan Qiu's heart, and raised his eyebrows at the man sitting on the seat without a trace, as if to signal him not to go too far, then looked away, and looked at Tan Qiu helplessly.

"You spitting blood!" The woman was a little agitated, and she immediately scolded: "How can there be a problem with the noodles! Our whole family eats it! If there is a problem, how can our family be good?!"

Tan Qiu seemed to be waiting for her words, and said with a tight smile, "Yeah, your family ate the noodles well, but if something happened, we thought it was a problem with our pastries, so our pastries are sold to every family in the city. Households, there are always more people eating than your family, right? Now there is no accident, how can you identify the problem with our pastry?"

"You!...You! Unreasonable words!" The woman was choked immediately, and didn't know how to refute what to say for a while, so she pointed at Tan Qiu with trembling arms and was unable to say a word for a long time.

"What do you mean by that!" Upon first hearing Tan Qiu's words, the woman suddenly choked up and retorted, looking at Tan Qiu with red eyes, "Would I harm my own husband?! How could I be that kind of pig Something worse than a dog!"

"He didn't mean that, so you don't need to think about it," Jiang Beimu said politely, standing between Tan Qiu and the other two at the right time.

"Silence." The magistrate knocked on the gavel and said, "Go and bring the doctor from the medical clinic who is consulting with Zhang Jiasanlang."

The official under the hall took the order to go, and after a short while, he led a middle-aged man with white face and beard from the crowd outside, and walked in. He was dressed in a blue shirt and his body was white, and he was very close to the hall. First salute.

"On the eighth day of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, were you the one who consulted Saburo Zhang?" the magistrate asked.

"My lord, I'm right here." The doctor nodded slightly.Seeing this, the magistrate hummed, and continued: "What symptoms did he have that day, please tell me carefully."

The doctor thought about it for a while, and then focused on the key points and said briefly, "It was already evening when the man was carried into the hall. When he arrived, his complexion was blue, his lips were purple, his tongue was thick and stiff, and he did not respond to questions. The blood coagulation speed at the fingertips is very fast, and all signs indicate that it is poisoning."

"There are many poisonous insects on the mountain, and it may be caused by the bites of poisonous insects. How can it be food?" asked the man beside him thoughtfully.

"Returning to my lord, snakes have long hibernated in winter, and insects are also hibernating and difficult to see. This person's poison is so fast, only snake venom can compare, but there is no snake bite wound on his body, and if it is a poisonous insect If the bite is more poisonous, there must be a wound, and there will be a blue and black color near the wound, but if it is a small poisonous insect, it will not attack so quickly."

"There are so many types of snakes and insects in the mountains, what evidence do you have to prove that it was not bitten by a poisonous insect that you have never seen before?"

Jiang Beimu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked the doctor directly, and Tan Qiu immediately chimed in and said, "That is, can you make sure you have seen all the poisonous insects on the mountain and know their toxicity? You are so convincing. "

"Well, what they said makes sense." The man in the seat suddenly smiled and said, then turned his head to look at the prefect who was thinking at the side, "Really, Master Lin."

The magistrate came back to his senses, seemed to be thinking, nodded and said: "Indeed, if you can't prove that he was not bitten by poisonous insects, then how can you be sure that he must have eaten something to get poisoned?"

"Reporting to my lord, I didn't specify whether he was poisoned by eating, but I mentioned it to his family members that day. It is very likely that there are two situations, either bitten by poisonous insects, or poisoned by eating. They insisted that they ate something. , I dispensed medicine to induce vomiting.”

"Since this is the case, it is impossible to conclude that this matter is due to the pastries of Xianshuilou." The magistrate thought for a moment and said.

"My lord!" The woman's complexion was ugly, and she knelt down on the ground with a plop, crying for grievances, but the magistrate frowned unhappy, and raised his hand to knock on the gavel.

"Do you have a way to wake up Saburo Zhang?" The magistrate said to the doctor.

The doctor hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, "It's true that his condition has improved in the past few days, but there is no guarantee when he will wake up."

"That's just right. I know a doctor who is under the tutelage of Mr. Qin Songge, the imperial physician. How about letting him try it? It just so happens that he has come to Sifang City these days to look for me to reminisce about the past." The man rubbed his chin and suggested to the magistrate. Without waiting for the woman to open her mouth, she took a step forward and said to her with a smile that was not a smile: "Mr. Qin Songge's name, you probably don't know the name? The number one genius doctor back then was rumored to have the method of resurrecting the dead. The doctor I know is even more his favorite disciple."

"After all, if you want me to tell you that there is no reason or evidence for your wild guesses here, why not let him wake up first, and let him tell himself why he fell into a coma and was poisoned, wouldn't it be more reliable?"

The man smiled and said to everyone.

The woman didn't seem to have expected the current situation, she just froze in place, but the woman reacted first, and cried: "My lord, there are six or seven people in the family of women, all of whom open their mouths to eat, because Regarding the matter of the third child, the family has already spent a lot of money to buy medicinal materials for him, and it is really powerless to support it!"

"I can pay the money."

In the lobby, Jiang Beimu's voice was deep and clear, like the moment a giant bell on the top of a mountain rang, it was heart-stirring.

"But I have a request. I can pay for the Zhang family's medical expenses and the expenses for the medicinal materials, but I need the disciple of the genius doctor to come to treat him in person."

Jiang Beimu paused every word, and everyone present was shocked.The magistrate Shaoqing regained his composure, his complexion eased a lot, and he admired Jiang Bei: "Since you proposed it on your own initiative, if the Zhang family has no objection, then it will be implemented in this way."

The woman's eyes were straightened, and it took a long time to realize that she nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, we agree!"

As long as Jiang Beimu pays the money, the third child will be able to sue again when he can be rescued, and the previous expenses will be taken from Jiang Beimu. Invest any money in...

Moreover, if something really happened to people, their mouths would grow on their own faces, and it would be up to them to decide what to say and how to arrange it, which would also seriously hurt the vitality of Xianshuilou.

In an instant, the woman turned her mind several times, and immediately turned her head to look at her man standing in the crowd. Seeing him nodding slightly, she was completely relieved.

"Wait a minute!" Tan Qiu saw the woman's small movements, and immediately interrupted the magistrate's attempt to knock on the gavel.

"We can pay the money! But there are requirements." Tan Qiu looked at the magistrate and said, the magistrate frowned slightly, as if he had some doubts about Tan Qiu, but it was slightly revealed on his face.

"Didn't you already ask for it just now! Why, do you want to go back on your word?!" The woman had already gritted her teeth at Tan Qiu, for fear that he would jump out and say something nonsense again.

"That's right, with so many demands, do you want to go back on your word! Human life is a matter of heaven!!"

The man from the Zhang family standing outside was also a little worried, for fear that Jiang Beimu would repent again, so he immediately yelled without thinking too much.

"What are you arguing about? It was my master's request just now, but now it's my request. Is there a conflict?" Tan Qiu raised his chin slightly, glared aggressively at the man from Zhang's family who was drumming up the crowd behind him, and then said : "My requirement is that all the expenses need to be verified by the engraved certificate of the disciple of the miracle doctor, and we also have the right to check these expenses. If there is intentional overspending, or not all expenses are spent, I don't know who will fall into it." inner……"

Tan Qiu paused halfway, glanced at the woman meaningfully, and hummed softly, "Once we find out, it will be doubled."

"Okay, I don't think it's a big problem. After all, although I can trust my doctor, I still have to give him peace of mind." The man watched the commotion and clapped his hands without hesitation, and responded seriously.

The woman gritted her teeth and said airily, "Yes! We all agree!"

"That being the case, there are no other doubts. I will testify together with Mr. Xiao Ye who is beside me. This case will be discussed the next day." The magistrate photographed the gavel tree, which is regarded as a temporary settlement for this matter, and what is left to do Just look at when the youngest of the Zhang family wakes up.

The case was temporarily suspended, the magistrate took the lead to leave the hall, and the crowd outside the hall also scattered away. The woman helped the woman who was in a trance to stand up, glared at Tan Qiu viciously, turned and walked out.

Not to be outdone, Tan Qiu stared back, while Jiang Beimu couldn't help laughing while watching.

"People are walking away, don't stare sorely."

Tan Qiu immediately rubbed his eyes obediently when he heard the words, spread his eyes open with two fingers and shouted to Jiang Beimu to blow it off, saying that he couldn't see dirty things.

Jiang Beimu reached out and patted the back of Tan Qiu's head amusedly, and said "Don't mess around."

Tan Qiu, however, was unwilling to let go. Seeing that the servants around him also retreated, Tan Qiu looked around quickly, then stretched out his hand to wrap Jiang Beimu's arm and walked out of the hall.

Until there were two deliberate coughs from behind.

Tan Qiu and Jiang Beimucai stopped, turned around, and saw the man just now standing behind them with his arms folded, with a smile on his face, greeting them cheerfully.

"Long time no see, Brother Jiang."

"Long time no see, Xiao Ye." Jiang Beimu smiled and stretched out his hands with Xiao Ye at the same time, palms hitting each other in the air, like old friends for many years.

"When did Brother Jiang come out of the capital? I haven't heard from you in these years. I still think about how a heroic man like Brother Jiang can live so long without looking for things about those barbarians. In the capital How are your brothers?" Xiao Ye seemed to have a lot to say to Jiang Beimu, and when he came up, he babbled outward like a water valve opened.

Jiang Beimu just laughed, as if he didn't want to say more, and said simply: "It's been a few years since you left, but you live a good life here."

"Hey, what are you talking about." Xiao Ye raised his hand and scratched his head carelessly, saw Tan Qiu standing beside him, and said with a smile, "Who is this?"

"This is..." Jiang Beimu just started, but was cut off by Tan Qiu, "My name is Tan Qiu, and I'm Jiang Beimu's wife. You don't have to be polite to me, just call me sister-in-law."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand towards Xiao Ye, with a smile on his face.

Xiao Ye's smile froze for a moment visible to the naked eye, and he looked at Jiang Beimu who was beside him without any trace.

Jiang Beimu shook his head helplessly, stepped forward and whispered something to Xiao Ye, Tan Qiu saw Xiao Ye's face showing a sudden realization, smiled and shook hands with Tan Qiu.
