Chapter 24: Deadly Poison

Seeing Zhang Runcheng's fierce look, Zhang Hanshi couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly said, "Master, do you mean to arrest them in prison?" I think this move is trying to cover up, besides, they are just people in the market, just say a big thing, now that the matter has been resolved, the lord doesn't have to worry anymore. ”

Zhang Runcheng shook his head and said with a calm face: "In the opinion of a woman, think about it, since you are a person in the market, you should be afraid of officials, even if you want to get some benefits, you shouldn't ask for such a sky-high price as 50,000 taels of silver." And they kept saying that they would see it within two days, otherwise they would sue the Criminal Department, which made it clear that they couldn't get along with the officials, but they were afraid that their money would be false, and they would be bent on suing the truth. ”

Zhang Hanshi lowered his head and thought for a while, still insisting on his opinion, and said slowly: "The master is too worried, I have inquired clearly when I went, the shopkeeper of the matchmaker shop has no origin, he was born in a farmer's family, a native of Suzhou, married a poor sour talent, but after the poor sour talent developed, he abandoned her, and now he makes a living by running the matchmaker." is such a person, I'm afraid that I don't even know where the gate of the capital opens, and the so-called sue and criminal department, in my opinion, is just nonsense. ”

Zhang Runcheng glanced at Zhang Hanshi, with a slight displeasure on his face, and said in a deep voice: "You, it's just too relieved, even if they have a 1 in 10,000 chance of sueping, we have to do a good job of 100% countermeasures." You don't care about this matter, I have my own way to deal with them. ”

Zhang Han still persuaded: "Master, I have already explained the slut, the slut will leave tomorrow, what else is the master going to do?" ”

"Leaving tomorrow?" Zhang Runcheng fell into deep thought, his fingers clenched into fists, but he couldn't help but say what he thought in his heart, "Maybe they just happened to take these three hundred taels of silver tickets as the travel expenses to go to Beijing to file a lawsuit, it seems that without further ado, they will have to start tonight." ”

Zhang Hanshi was frightened in his heart, and asked in a trembling voice, "Master, what are you going to do?" Do you want to kill them? ”

Zhang Runcheng said expressionlessly: "What Madame said is exactly what I think in my heart, only a dead person will not speak, that slut lives for a day, I will be in danger of being ruined at any time, only when she dies, can I never suffer in the future." ”

Zhang Han's face changed greatly, but he still steadied his heart and said: "Master, the stakes are very high, once it is revealed, it will be over." ”

Zhang Runcheng said coldly: "If I don't kill them, when they sue the Criminal Department, my career will be over." Besides, if there is a murder in Suzhou City, it must be reported to the county government first, and when the time comes, whether they commit suicide or kill him, whether they are accidentally poisoned by themselves, or poisoned by others. The final assertion is not my final say, who dares to refute it. ”

Zhang Hanshi asked softly, "Does the master have a perfect plan?" ”

Zhang Runcheng thought for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Madame may not know that there is a medicine in the abortion pill, which is called quinine. If a woman is pregnant, she only needs to take quinine for two dollars, and within half an hour, she will have a miscarriage. But this quinine is a fierce medicine, the human body has a very strong ability to absorb it, as long as the dosage is more than one or two, within an hour, it will make people blind at the lightest, and vomit blood to death. And once a person takes quinine, even if he immediately notices it, it is Hua Tuo's reincarnation, and there is no cure. ”

"What do you mean, poisoning?"

Zhang Runcheng nodded, but said: "This is also a helpless move, but anyone who blocks the future of this official has only a dead end." ”

It's night, matchmaker's shop.

Bai Sujin saw that Li Miaoqiu's heart was already dead, and he made up his mind to return to the capital with the three hundred taels of silver tickets, and it was really difficult to persuade him. Now that the parties have decided to forgive the bad man, they can only go with their own wishes.

Bai Sujin, Zijuan, and Li Miaoqiu gossiped some gossip, and Li Miaoqiu took out ten taels of silver to thank Bai Sujin for his help, but Bai Sujin couldn't refuse, so he accepted it. As it got late, the three of them fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, Guo Yifeng suddenly felt uncomfortable in his abdomen, so he had to quickly put on his clothes and get up and run to the toilet. When he came out of the latrine, the cool breeze blew Guo Yifeng sleepy, and he was much more energetic. At this moment, he heard the sound of Suo Suo in the kitchen, and he couldn't help but feel a little vigilant in his heart, and tiptoed to the kitchen door, only to find a man in black pouring some powder into the water tank.

"Who are you?" Guo Yifeng shouted, waking up everyone who was sleeping. When the man in black saw that his whereabouts were discovered, he instinctively rushed out of the kitchen and was about to escape over the wall. Fortunately, Guo Yifeng has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and this man in black is only a three-legged cat kung fu, and within a few rounds, he was won by Guo Yifeng.

It happened that the moonlight was shining tonight, and Bai Sujin and the others could hear the sound of fighting, and they had already put on their clothes and got up and went out of the house. Seeing this scene, Li Quan hurriedly took a rope and stepped forward to help Guo Yifeng tie up the man in black, and only then did he relax when he saw that Guo Yifeng was fine.

Bai Sujin saw that the man in black had been restrained, but he showed a smile and asked softly: "You thief, what are you doing at night, are you here to rob money, or to rob sex?" ”

Guo Yifeng had a black line on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Madam, you are still in the mood to joke here, fortunately, I got up at night and bumped into him poisoning the kitchen water tank, otherwise we don't know how we would die tomorrow." ”

Bai Sujin heard that the situation seemed to be very serious, and quickly put away the ridicule on his face, and asked solemnly: "Why, he is here to harm us, I have never grudged with others, who wants to harm me?" ”

Zijuan and Li Miaoqiu were also shocked and frightened, glanced at each other, and then set their eyes on the man in black.

Guo Yifeng kicked the man in black and said coldly: "Say, who sent you to poison?" ”

Li Quan glanced at the man in black thoughtfully, then turned around and whispered to Guo Yifeng: "It won't be King An, he has always been on bad terms with you, and when he learned that you had traveled here, he sent someone to harm you." ”

Guo Yifeng frowned, lowered his voice and said: "No, even if King An wants to harm me, the masters around him are like clouds, how could he send such a small minion, I will be subdued by me with three punches and two feet, but I am afraid that the target of the people behind the scenes is not me." ”

Bai Sujin saw the two of them whispering, his face was even more ugly, and he hurriedly shouted: "What are you talking about, what is the origin of this person, have you discussed it?" ”

Guo Yifeng looked puzzled and retorted: "What is his origin, you ask him, how can I know." ”

Bai Sujin didn't bother to talk nonsense with Guo Yifeng, turned his head and said in a vicious tone: "Tell me quickly, who are you, who asked you to poison us?" ”

The man in black was silent, Bai Sujin was also angry, and sneered: "Don't say yes, then I'll let you see how good my aunt and grandmother are." Zijuan, bring the scissors. ”

Zijuan agreed, and after a while, took a pair of sharp scissors from the house. Bai Sujin squatted down and said with a cold face: "Now every time I ask you, if you don't say it, or what you say is not true, I will cut a knife on you, I see if your mouth is hard, or my knife is hard." ”

"First question, who are you?"

The man in black looked at the shaking scissors in front of him and said in a trembling voice, "I'm Zhao Chang." ”

Bai Sujin pursed his lips, this answer is useless at all, what is your name and does it have anything to do with us?

"Second question, what are you doing here?"

As soon as the words came out, Bai Sujin saw Guo Yifeng floating over with a white eye, and suddenly felt that he was very brainless, everyone said that he was here to poison, do he still need to ask?

"I'm here to poison." The man in black still said in a trembling voice.

Bai Sujin's face was black, and he finally threw out a crucial question, "Who sent you, and, do you know, what kind of enmity does your employer have with us?" ”

"Yes, yes......" The man in black stopped talking.

Bai Sujin thought that he couldn't tell the truth if he didn't come to something practical, so he put the scissors against a certain place of the man in black, but said in a very gentle tone: "Are you telling the truth, or do you want to cut off your children and grandchildren?" ”

The man in black was still hesitating, but Bai Sujin's scissors had already pierced the man's pants, the man in black was already employed, he didn't want to become a eunuch and lose the best fun in life.

"It was the magistrate who asked me to do this." The man in black didn't resist Bai Sujin's murderous methods, and truthfully recruited it.
