Chapter 232: Thorough Investigation

After Song Chen and Su Miao returned to the city, they quietly went directly to Lu Yan's study to find him. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Speaking of which, Lu Yan can be regarded as Song Hengyuan's favorite kind of real good official who is dedicated to the people. Every time Song Chen and the others go to him, unless it is when they go to bed at night (of course, they will also avoid this somewhat embarrassing time), otherwise, Lu Yan is either in the hall to try the case, or in the study to handle official business, very diligently.

This time, when Song Chen and the others came back, it was already close to Shen Shi, and at this time, Lu Yan naturally stayed in the study and read books.

The people in the national village also moved quickly, after Song Chen and Su Miaogang finished telling Lu Yan about the matter (they didn't mention what they heard in Wanfu to Lu Yan, because considering that after Wan Niansheng and Zeng Qinglong were exposed, they gave up on them, and there was no clue after that. Let people report to the official, firstly, to return the Feng'an grain shop to a clean house, and secondly, it is also to deter the other party, and let the other party mess up first, and then they have a chance to take advantage of it, and go to find out the bad people hiding in the dark), and a small official ran in behind to report that someone came to beat the drum and complain!

Lu Yan looked at Song Chen and Su Miao: "Then I'll deal with it first!" ”

"You can dispose of it according to the normal procedure." As soon as Song Chen hugged his fist at Lu Yan, he and Su Miao rushed out of the back window, and soon disappeared on the roof.

Lu Yan ascended to the hall, and the official sent the drummer to come up, and sure enough, it was the incident they were still talking about just now, the boss of the Li Chang's family in Min'an Village brought one of the members of the bitter master's family over, and as soon as he entered the door, there was no stage fright for ordinary people to enter the palace, and when he saw Lu Yan, he immediately shouted: "Lord Prefect, you have to be our master!" ”

The person who came was the middle-aged man that Song Chen and Su Miao saw when they first entered the chief's house in Min'an Village, he was the eldest son of the chief, because the chief had to preside over the overall situation in the village, so he sent him to bring people over. As the successor of the future lieutenant, he already has a bit of a father's style in his actions, and he clearly understands the beginning and end of the matter in just a few words.

It turned out that the Li Chang's family knew that something was about to happen, and as soon as they finished lunch early, they heard a commotion outside. They had already been paying attention to the movement in the village, so they hurriedly ran out. met Chen San and a large group of people behind him, saying that he wanted the chief to be the master for him. Chen San went to his father-in-law's house to deliver food today, and when he came back, he found that everyone in the family had fallen to the ground in a coma, so he hurriedly went to ask for a doctor. The doctor was also helpless, only saying that it should be poisoned, but he couldn't find out the reason, and he couldn't detoxify, so he only asked him to send the person to the city quickly, and maybe he could be saved if he went to the city.

Chen San thought, but the fees of the medical center in the city are not comparable to those in this countryman, where does he still have money in his hand? Then think of how can the people in the family get poisoned and faint for no reason? In a hurry, I had to find the lieutenant chief. First, let the lieutenant preside over justice for him; Second, I also came to borrow money from the chief, and the most important thing to save people is right?

When the chief heard this, he hurriedly followed Chen San to Chen's house. Before the doctor arrived, the men had already asked the neighbors to help put them on the bed one by one. After they arrived, they saw a family of three generations and six lying on the bed, which really gave people a shocking feeling! The lieutenant remembered Su Miao's instructions, so he gave the vial that he had been carrying in his arms to the boss who came out with him, gave him a look, and motioned for him to put the pill into the bowl of water he brought over and melt it. When he heard Chen San say that his family was poisoned, the lieutenant chief had a heart and asked him to bring a bowl of water directly at home.

The lieutenant chief knew that he might make people suspicious if he took out two pills rashly, and when he asked his eldest son to do what he was told, he also explained to Chen San by the way: "This is what I went to the hospital to ask for when I entered the city earlier, it is said to be an elixir that can cure all kinds of poisons, and now the situation is urgent, feed them first and drink it slowly." You're right, such a sudden poisoning, no matter who did it, is a very serious matter, and I'm not good at finding out the truth, so I suggest reporting to the official! The prefect of the city is a clean official, and he will be the master of us. Moreover, there are many capable people in the government, and if they know that it is a poisoning incident, they will also send a doctor to come, and they can save the money for seeing a doctor at that time. "In the current situation of being poor and white, it is naturally better to spend less money if you can spend less. Moreover, the pair of young men and girls are currently clear and firm, which must give him a very sure feeling that the medicine they gave should be able to save the lives of these people in the Chen family.

Sure enough, not long after being fed the water that had been turned into the Soul Clearing Pill, the people of the Chen family who were originally lying on the bed all woke up one after another and turned around one after another, asking them, but they didn't say anything abnormal. As usual, they wanted to rest for a while after lunch and go to the field, but they didn't wake up anymore. They also don't know what's going on.

After the Chen family woke up, the lieutenant remembered the words that Song Chen had instructed him to protect the scene, and quickly asked a few young adults in the village to stay, in case someone took the opportunity to make trouble, and then asked the eldest son to take Chen San to the city to report the case.

In fact, after Chen San returned home and found his unconscious family member, he hurriedly went to the neighborhood to help save people, and there were already several people at the scene. But everyone's focus is on people, and no one pays attention to the kitchen. However, the doctor he invited at the beginning had also mentioned that it might be poisonous in the food, but those pots and dishes had already been cleaned, but fortunately, there was also a bowl of porridge and vegetables they left for Chen San, he had seen it, but this was not his specialty, and he couldn't detect anything.

But the doctor mentioned that this bowl of food was evidence, so Chen San put it away well, and before going out, he solemnly entrusted it to the lieutenant chief.

So when Lu Yi brought people to Min'an Village, this bowl of food was brought out. The lieutenant chief is right, there are many capable people in the government, and this work under Lu Yan, in addition to the autopsy, drug testing is also his forte. The rice was soon tested for poison. In addition, the pots and pans that have been cleaned have been tested one by one, and a simple scrub with clean water cannot completely remove the toxins, and trace amounts of toxicity have also been found on the pots in which they are cooked. And because Song Chen and Su Miao mentioned that the other party intended to frame Feng'an Grain Shop, Lu Yan in the Chen family's rice tank also focused on mentioning it, and sure enough, poison was also detected in it. From this, it can already be determined that those poisons are in the rice tank!

Lu Yan had just come to a conclusion in Chen's house, and there was a commotion outside, and someone came in to report that it was from two nearby villages, and that there had been a case of poisoning in their village, and that they had also entered the city to report to the officials, and Min'an Village was the only place for them to enter the city.

Lu Yan left two officials to watch at Chen's house in Min'an Village, and took the others to follow the person who reported the case to their village, and the investigation procedure was the same as in Min'an Village. The only difference is that the victim's rice and rice pot in one of the villages were tested to be poisonous, but the rice in the rice jar was normal! These two villages are also the same as Min'an Village, and soon after the chief took out pills and turned water into water and fed the poisoned people here, those people woke up. When Lu Yan asked, they didn't dare to hide it, and they all mentioned the appearance of a pair of young boys and girls before lunch, orders, and gifts.

Lu Yan naturally knew who it was. How did Song Chen and Su Miao know in advance that something would happen, he didn't want to speculate anymore, and he didn't want to ask, because if he asked, the other party wouldn't necessarily say. They will always have the methods of the Jianghu people. Besides, with Song Chen's identity, he can't ask for no reason.

Speaking of the current situation, I don't know if it is the luck of him and Feng'an Grain Shop, the other party may not have explained it when he was poisoned, maybe it was a rush of time, maybe it was not well considered, maybe it was the person who started to do it ineffectively, anyway, there was no problem with the rice bowl of one family, but it was also the same poison as the previous two families, this alone may prove that the problem was not the rice of Feng'an Grain Shop, and those poisons were placed by others.

As for who the other party is, Lu Yan has to send someone to investigate this matter locally. Although Song Chen and Su Miao did not mention the person who poisoned them, in fact, he believed that they knew it, although they didn't know why they didn't say it, but they didn't say it There must be a reason not to say it. With Song Chen and Su Miao's personalities, I believe that they will definitely have other arrangements because it is the duty of his prefect to investigate the case or deliberately want to test him. Just like the Feng'an grain shop suddenly opened, these two people suddenly appeared in Lily of the Valley City, and he always felt that there should be something to do with the water this time. Although the Feng'an grain store is under the banner of collecting grain and selling it to the snow country, if you leave aside the fact that they found a disaster on the way to the snow country and then shipped it back, it looks more like they are preparing for this natural disaster.

If this matter is like the thought that occasionally flashes to him, and he thinks that Song Chen and Su Miao should be the secret layout made by the emperor in advance because he predicted that there would be floods in the south, then the emperor is inevitably too powerful! However, the Son of Heaven is a dragon among men, no matter how powerful he is, he can't be too much, isn't it? To be able to do things under such a person, how can he or dare not do his best!

In connection with the fact that last year, the emperor took down some important personnel in key positions one by one without warning for the crime of treason and collaboration with the enemy, Lu Yan couldn't help but be a little staggered, the emperor is really powerful, if he doesn't move, he will have a big move. This made a friend who didn't want to be an official in the court moved. Today's court is a clear stream, just as a friend told him, those who are officials can really have some like-minded colleagues, and everyone works together to ask for the people's lives, which is much more painful! You can be pragmatic. As long as you have the ability and sincerity, you can get the appreciation of the imperial court, and you don't have to be able to pat and flatter as usual, you need to give money to make money, and you need to do something that violates the principle of reluctantly in order to achieve the desired goal......

Lu Yan believes that people who think like his friends are not the only ones. And he himself feels this way, but he thinks a little differently from his friends. When he went to the imperial examination and became an official, although he also encountered many obstacles, his attitude was very positive. Just like the question he did in the exam at that time, if everyone avoided it and didn't actively strive for it after seeing some problems in the general environment of officialdom, wouldn't the reality get worse? If the people who want to do practical things have given up, aren't the people who stay all who are dedicated to retreat, who will only collect money or only send money to do things? Then who else will do things for the people? Who else will do things for the emperor? So what hope is there for this country?

Of course, although he is dedicated to doing things for the people, he is also a positive and motivated person. If he could, of course he would still like to go higher. If nothing else, the higher your position, the more power you have, and the more you can do! Moreover, if he is in a high position, then there will be fewer places to be controlled by others, so that even if he encounters some officials who do not do practical things, or people who try to hinder him from doing practical things, he can ignore them or punish them, and firmly grasp the initiative!

Lu Yan returned to the city from Min'an Village, and thought about it all the way, and after arriving at the government, he deeply felt that he was more motivated to do things.

At the scene, except for the rice and kitchen food that were tested to be poisonous, Lu Yan actually did not have any more harvest, but he got an important clue from several villagers in those three villages. Although there were few people to see, some people still noticed that strangers had come to the village - two merchants suddenly came to the village two days ago! What caught the attention of these villagers was that the average merchant was one person, but this time it was two people. Lu Yan asked people to bring these villagers over, and asked the master to talk to them one by one, make portraits, and prepare a wanted warrant.

The servants also brought back a lot of rice and kitchen food, although they found that it was poisonous, but the specific poison was limited by local conditions, and he had no way to detect it at that time. So further investigation is needed.

As soon as he came back, Lu Yan arranged everything, and then he went into the study again. He still wanted to talk to Song Chen and Su Miao about this matter, but at present, there was only one way for him to contact them, that is, to send someone to Hengqing Hall to deliver the letter, and he was writing a letter. He asked the three lieutenants in detail, Su Miao can come up with such a subtle and effective antidote, then her attainments in detoxification must be very deep, and those who do detoxification will of course have a deep understanding of poisons. It's not that he doesn't believe in that trick, but the latter's knowledge is limited after all, and for the sake of insurance, it's best to let Su Miao test those things. At the very least, it can reduce some time in this regard.
