Chongxi's little husband is very "soft and cute"

"Who is here? What's the drumming?" The heavy brown-red door was pushed open, and two yamen servants walked out. It was still early in the day, and the yamen servants were yawning, and their words were still unclear.

Lu Yunchen put down the drumstick, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the student is the shopkeeper of He Xingju, who came to sue the waiter of Liji noodle shop. Last night, the waiter sneaked into my shop and poisoned him, but we caught him. I would like to invite you today The county magistrate upholds justice for the students."

The yamen servant glanced at the shop waiter who was tightly tied up, "Wait a moment, and let me go in and report something."

After a while, the yamen servant came out in a hurry, "The county magistrate allowed me to bring some of you in."

Lu Yunchen flicked his sleeves and stepped over the gate. No matter how many times he came to this yamen, he would always panic. The place is not big, but it has a majesty and solemnity that makes people have to restrain their lazy bones. Get serious.

A group of people were led into the court by the yamen servant.

Chu Han was still in a high position, with an unsmiling expression on his face, which added a bit of awe to the solemn court hall. He held a gavel and rearranged it on the table, and the officials on both sides beat the ground with water and fire sticks, shouting in unison, " mighty...."

Because Lu Yunchen was a scholar, he didn't need to kneel down to salute. Gu Ping and Qingyang, who came together, knelt down together with the waiter.

"Lu Yunchen, you just said that someone sneaked into your mansion last night and failed to poison you. Is it true?" Chu Han asked coldly.

"Master Chu, everything the student said is true, and the student still has evidence..." Lu Yunchen took out the packet of medicine powder from his cuff, handed it to the nearest yamen servant, and the yamen servant presented it to Chu Han.

Chu Han took the medicine package, and ordered the police to go to Xinglin Hall and ask the doctor to come and check it out.

Taking advantage of this gap, Chu Han turned his gaze to the waiter who was tied up in the hall.

"Lu Yunchen, is this the person you said came to poison the shop?"

"If you go back to the county magistrate, it's this person..." Lu Yunchen bowed.

"People in the hall, report your name!" Chu Han slammed the gavel, and the waiter in the shop was so frightened that he shivered suddenly. He pretended to be calm and looked directly at Chu Han, but his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

"Grass... Caomin is Ermazi of Zhaojia Village..." the waiter tremblingly reported his name.

"Er Mazi, I want to ask you, why did you rush into the Hexing residence for no reason last night? Why did you poison him?" Chu Han asked.

The waiter almost jumped out of his throat, he knelt on the ground, faltering for a long time, unable to say a word.

"Er Mazi, look up and answer." Chu Han's eyes were gloomy, cold and decisive.

The shop clerk was speechless, a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

Seeing Chu Han asking this question, Lu Yunchen couldn't find any answers, so he took a step forward and saluted, "Master County Magistrate, this person is the waiter of Liji Noodle Shop on Sishui Street. Students ask themselves that they are always friendly and have never been with others." What kind of grievances did other people have, and I don't know when they offended him, which brought this calamity to He Xingju."

After being reminded by Lu Yunchen, the melon-eating crowd who had been watching the excitement outside the court reacted one after another, and immediately gathered together and whispered.

"Let me tell you, why did you look at this person so familiarly? After a long time, he is a clerk in Li Datou's shop..."

"Why is the waiter in this store running to poison He Xingju?"

"You don't know yet, this He Xingju has always had old grudges with Li Ji Noodle Shop, and Li Datou is a grudge, maybe he sent his subordinates to do it..."

"What? The two of them still have old grievances? What kind of grievances can there be between these two shops that can't be separated..."

"It can't be said, it can't be said. A few days ago, it was rumored in Hexingju that the shop assistants poisoned the food..."

"That's right, the government hasn't caught that guy until now. Tell me, it's only been a few days, and someone came to poison him in the middle of the night. Could it be that he was instigated by Li Datou..."

"Shh... don't talk nonsense about things that don't show up..."

Seeing the discussion intensify, Chu Han had to pat the gavel to maintain order.

The courtroom became quiet again, Lu Yunchen pursed his lips and hooked the corners of his lips, the waiter in the shop also heard everyone's discussion, and now his shoulders were tightened, his face became paler.

"Master County Magistrate, Dr. Song of Xinglin Hall has arrived..." the police informed.

"Dr. Song came in..." Chu Han ordered after hearing the words.

Dr. Song walked in and knelt down to salute, "Caomin Song Hong pays homage to the county magistrate..."

"Please trouble Dr. Song to come and see what is the powder in this oiled paper bag?" Chu Han asked the police to hand the oiled paper bag to Song Sheng.

Song Hong took it, looked at it carefully, and sniffed it with the tip of his nose, and his expression changed drastically, "Return to the county magistrate, this medicine powder is a poison extracted from the broken intestine leaf. Eat less but have diarrhea and retch for a few days. Eat more But it will kill people, if such a bag is put in the meal, something big will happen."

Dr. Song is the chief doctor of Xinglintang, and he is trustworthy in medical skills. When Chu Han heard it at first, he was angry from the heart, and the gavel slapped, "Er Mazi, you got the stolen goods, what else do you have?" What can I say? Why did you go to Hexingju to poison? Or are you being instructed by someone?"

The shop clerk was so frightened that he couldn't even speak clearly. When Li Datou gave him the powder, he only told him to put them all in the water tank of Daohe Xingju, but he didn't tell him that the powder could kill people. He knew that this thing was so poisonous, even if he was given a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to do it.

Lu Yunchen knelt down and kowtowed heavily, "Magistrate, this Er Mazi is the clerk of Li Ji Noodle Shop. I have no old grudges with him, but I have some disagreements with the shopkeeper of Li Ji Noodle Shop. Er Mazi came here to poison him for no reason, he must be instigated by others, you might as well invite his shopkeeper here and ask him carefully."

Chu Han took a meaningful look at Lu Yunchen, and then at the waiter at the shop who couldn't even fart. He felt that there would be no new progress if he was exhausted, so he decided to follow what the little boss Lu said, and take a look at him. What medicine is sold in the gourd.

Earlier, Lu Yunchen escorted the shopkeeper to pass through the street in a stately manner, and Li Datou got the news, and now he is kneeling beside the third grandfather's legs, crying, and will tell the whole story with him, the third grandfather, in detail.

"You idiot! There is no one in Yong'an Town who can go and run for you? You actually thought of asking the shop assistant to go and hand over the handle to shopkeeper Lu for nothing!" the governor heard. Li Datou's crying, he flew into a rage, and scolded.

"Third Grandpa saved me. At that time... I was also in a hurry to jump over the wall. Who would have thought that after only a few days, Hexingju would be revived. I was also in a hurry and lost my mind, so I made such a bad plan. Now the two Mazi has been turned over to the government, and the county magistrate is a person who doesn't like oil and salt, and Jieshi will not easily make this big thing into a small one, and it will be small, third grandpa, save me quickly." Li Datou kneeled a few times Step by step, try to find a way for yourself.

The governor looked at the disappointing grandson in front of him, and couldn't vomit out a bad breath in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that he still had a blood relationship, he would definitely not care about this business. He thought that Li Datou was smart before, but I would like to remind you After a few words, it became clear. Now it seems that he was wrong. This Li Datou is as stupid and boring as that Chu Han.

He frowned into a "Chuan" character, and took a deep look at Li Datou, "Does Er Mazi have any family members?"

Li Datou pondered for a moment, "Yes, yes, he just got a big fat boy the year before last, and it's a baby..."

"Since you have a precious son, you can take it away and blackmail that Er Mazi. If that person is sensible, he will take all the things on himself. I can't keep you, so you can do it yourself..." The governor pressed his forehead and said, suppressing the disgust in his heart.

Li Datou suddenly realized that he bid farewell to the third grandfather and hurriedly arranged for his subordinates to capture Er Mazi's son. people recognize.

When the catcher came to invite Li Datou to Li Ji Noodle Shop, he was fully prepared and followed the catcher into the Yamen without fear.

"The grassroots Li Xun came to kowtow to the county magistrate. I don't know why the county magistrate summoned the grassroots?"

"Li Xun, the guy in your shop sneaked into Hexingju last night with the intention of poisoning the water tank. Did you know about this?" Chu Han asked.

Li Datou glanced at the waiter who was kneeling on one side, and shook his head resolutely. "No, last night, Cao Min was ill and took a rest earlier. I didn't know what Er Mazi did."

Hearing this, the waiter in the shop looked at Li Datou incredulously, and accidentally saw a golden lock tied around his waist, his eyes widened immediately, he opened his mouth, and was about to speak, but Li Datou gave him a fierce stare.

"Li Xun, do you have any old grievances with Mr. Lu, who lives in Hexing?" Chu Han asked.

Li Datou looked up at Lu Yunchen, and his tone was rare and amiable, "Going back to the county magistrate, I did have some conflicts with the little boss Lu earlier, but recently, the business in Caomin's shop is booming. How can I have free time to do some work?" Besides, I haven't dealt with Boss Lu for a long time, and even if there are old grievances, I have already put them behind me."

Lu Yunchen's eyes darkened. When he saw the golden lock tied around Li Datou's waist, he knew that this matter would be difficult. As for the sachet, there are many jade pendants, but who would dare He swaggered through the market wearing a golden lock, and seeing the obviously flustered expression of the waiter, the big stone in his heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

"Master County Magistrate, it's Caomin...the Caomin's wife and children went to Hexingju for dinner a few days ago, and they spoiled their stomachs. Caomin held a grudge, so the idea of ​​poisoning was born. It has nothing to do with...my shopkeeper. "Er Mazi kowtowed tremblingly, accepting all the crimes.

Hearing this, Chu Han raised his eyebrows lightly, glanced at the clerk in the shop, and then glanced at Li Datou, who was beside him who was calm and composed, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. He asked him twice just now, but the clerk in the shop never said anything. One, two, three, why did Li Datou come, but instead he said something, there must be some clues in the middle.

"Er Mazi, think about it carefully. The crime of poisoning is not a small crime. If it is light, you will be exiled. The bitter cold road of thousands of miles is enough for you. If it is serious, it will be beheaded. Just because of yourself My wife and children ate up their stomachs, so they ran to other people's homes to inoculate this deadly poison, should I say you are stupid or vicious..."

Er Mazi's heart felt like a huge boulder weighing a thousand jins, every gasp was very difficult, he clenched his fists tightly, and from the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Li Datou playing with the golden lock of longevity around his waist, his nails were firmly embedded in his flesh, the golden lock, When his son was born, the old mother went to the goldsmith to beat it, and he recognized it when it was turned into ashes, but now it fell into Li Datou's hands. He must have taken his child away to coerce him to confess his crime. .

But now, so what if he doesn't plead guilty, should he bite back and drag Li Datou into the water?Of course, he knew how vicious this person was, but his own child was only two years old, how could he dare to let it go.

Er Mazi closed his eyes, and his heart froze, as if he had made up his mind, and knelt down even lower, "Return...Return to the words of the magistrate, it is indeed because of my wife and children that I hold a grudge against He Xingju, That's why I did this..."

Chu Han followed his peripheral vision and saw a thumb-sized golden lock tied around Li Datou's waist. Seeing this style, it was probably hung on the neck of the child by parents to pray for safety. Then look at the restless and resentful expression of the waiter in the shop. Could it be that this golden lock belongs to Er Mazi's son?

"May I ask what your wife and children ate in my shop? In recent days, no one has come to Hexingju to ask for an explanation. Since our opening, Hexingju has a very good reputation, and the feedback from customers is also very good. That’s right, if the county magistrate doesn’t believe it, you can ask the people outside the court, many of them are regular customers of Hexingju...” Lu Yunchen pointedly said, based on this reason alone, the behavior of the waiter in the shop is totally untenable, and he was repeatedly accused Li Datou tossed and tossed for so long, this time, he had to find him out.

"Boss Lu is right. The food in Hexingju is really not much worse than that in Chunfenglou..."

"No, if it wasn't for the poisoning incident, I wouldn't be wronged to go to Liji Noodle Restaurant. If anyone falsely accuses He Xingju of having a problem with the food, I will be the first to disagree..."

"My kids love Hexingju's milk tea the most, and they were making a fuss a few days ago..."

The melon-eating crowd began to chat with each other, and every sentence was aimed at He Xingju.

Lu Yunchen withdrew his gaze in satisfaction, and then looked at the shop waiter with a burning gaze, staring at him feeling weak

Li Datou heard the words of the melon-eating crowd, and his cheeks, which were still proud of the spring breeze, suddenly cracked. What is grievance, what is resignation? He has opened a noodle restaurant for so many years, how did he get such a reputation!

"Anyway... Anyway, Caomin's wife and children did suffer from diarrhea after eating Hexingju's food..." The waiter's expression flashed a bit of panic, he bit his bullet and said.

"Er Mazi, tell me the truth. You said that your wife and children ate up their stomachs in Hexingju. What did they eat? When did they eat it? Report them to me one by one. If there is any discrepancy, the crime will be aggravated!" Chu Han scolded.

The waiter in the shop had a layer of cold sweat on his forehead. Li Datou didn't send him to Hexingju for a long time to inquire about the news. He only knew that Hexingju would update the menu after a while. How could he know what was on sale now?But now that the county magistrate was staring at him, he had to say that he could only follow his previous memory and grab one at random.

"Okay..it seems to be Naluoshizi Crossing the Bridge Rice Noodles, probably...about half a month ago."

"Nonsense, the cross-bridge rice noodle has been taken off the shelves before the Ching Ming Festival, everyone present can testify..." Lu Yunchen retorted decisively.

"Then...that's the Qingtuan..." The waiter made another blind guess. There is not much time until Qingming Festival, so the Qingtuan should still be on the menu.

Lu Yunchen smiled instead of anger, "Er Mazi, just ask other people, the Qingtuan was only sold for three days during the Qingming Festival, according to what you said, your wife and children ate it in my shop half a month ago, isn't it the right time? superior.."

"Bold Er Mazi, I have given you opportunities many times, but you are talking nonsense, confusing the public here, deceiving the official again and again, come here, drag him out and beat him twenty times... " Chu Han was furious, and threw the lottery on the ground heavily, and the yamen guards on both sides dragged him out of the courtroom. Not long after, the sound of crackling boards being slapped on his body and the heart-piercing screams of Er Mazi were heard outside the courtroom. The cry made all the people present feel their hairs stand on end. This county magistrate is really upright, he will hit him as soon as he says, and there is no room for discussion.

When Er Mazi was dragged in again, he was completely wilted, lying on the ground and screaming.

"Er Mazi, I will ask you one last time, when did your wife and children go to Hexingju, and what did they eat!" Chu Han asked sharply, not giving him a moment to breathe.

Er Mazi faltered and couldn't say anything more.

Seeing this, Lu Yunchen took a step forward and suggested, "Master Chu, since Er Mazi is not clear, you might as well find his wife and children and ask him. If it is true as Er Mazi said, the responsibility for eating a bad stomach We, He Xing Ju, should bear it."
