The leading beggar didn't panic at all, but said, "We were indeed entrusted by someone before, but someone in the restaurant did eat food poisoning, right?"

Hearing her say this, Chu Xinyun chuckled sharply in her heart, she knew Li Damin's affairs very clearly, after all, she also had a sweet potato business with him.

A man appeared among the passers-by eating melons and said: "It is said that he is a traveling businessman, and I have heard from people nearby, and I don't know if it is true or not." ”

"I saw Dr. Wang go in for a doctor's treatment at the time, and it was true that someone had been poisoned.....

The leading beggar who said everything was very proud, and then he pointed at Chu Xinyun and said, "And the sweet potato that is the raw material of that dish is provided by you, right?"

"I...."

"What are you, look at the big guys, this person definitely has a motive, the brothers made trouble with her before, and this woman came to retaliate wantonly!"

"Pity my brother! It was because of the desire of the tongue that she died at the hands of this woman, although we are just beggars, but we are also dignified, and the brothers took her to report to the official!"

"That's right! Pull her to the police! Let the county master judge!"

Chu Xinyun was already surrounded by everyone and couldn't get out, but now those beggars rushed over all of a sudden, directly grabbed her, and pulled her to the direction of the county street.

"What are you doing! I didn't kill anyone!" Chu Xinyun desperately broke free, and she was a little desperate for a while.

"Hey, what are you guys pulling and pulling!" In the distance, a few catchers who came to patrol saw movement here and rushed over.

Chu Xinyun shouted: "Poor master, this person framed me for murder, and asked the poor master to call the shots!"

"Don't listen to his nonsense, my lord, this woman is ruthless, so many people are watching, we are going to send her to the yamen!"

"Since there is a dispute, then go to the yamen to solve it." He glanced at her, and then ordered someone to lead the way, and he completely believed the beggar's words!

In this way, seven or eight people carried the already stiff corpse to the yamen, and the leading beggar stepped forward to beat the drum, and soon the open door was quickly opened and someone came out to ask.

"Who's beating the drums here?!"

The leading beggar hurriedly said: "My lord, we are here to report to the official, this woman killed my brother, and please call the shots!"

"Since there is a grievance, then come in!" The head catcher immediately brought several people to the court, Chu Xinyun seemed to be kneeling honestly, but he kept thinking about the unreasonableness in his mind.

Leaving aside the false accusation, the beggars came so suddenly, as if they knew they were going to pass by.

And not only did he open and close his mouth and say that he saw that he had killed someone, but he even knew that the dish he ate that day was made of sweet potatoes, and there was no one behind him to guide her to design and kill her.

There is also a strange behavior of patrolling the fast catcher, and he brings people over without asking anything, which is completely like going through the motions..... Chu Xinyun looked up at the public hall with the words 'Gaotang Mingjing', and inexplicably had a bad premonition in his heart.

With the sound of Wei ~~Wu ~~, the county lord wearing an official robe and a black gauze hat walked up.

The county magistrate nodded his head in his forties, a little rich, and his round cheeks were holding a shelf and not smiling, but he was still very happy to look at.

The county magistrate coughed lightly and asked, "Who is down there?" Get your name quickly!"

"The county master, the little one's name is Sun Ming, he is a person from Qingshui Town, and he begs in the town for a living because of his difficult life, this is the little lady, she intends to murder my brother, and please ask the adult to call the shots for me!"

The county magistrate narrowed his eyes, and his gaze fell on her again: "What about you?" What's your name?"

Chu Xinyun said: "The girl's name is Chu Xinyun, she is a person from Chujia Village, she currently lives in Qingshui Town, and she grows some dishes and sends them to the restaurant to sell some silver money on weekdays.

Sun Ming shouted: "Now that you are in court, you still dare to quibble, obviously you pretended to give my brother pastries to eat, but poisoned the pastries: it is a loss of conscience!"

"Who is the one who has lost his conscience and has no points, what do you say, I poisoned your brother, I have been living in Chujia Village for the past few days, and I only came to deliver food to the restaurant today, and I haven't even been to the pharmacy, how can I have time to buy poison?"

Chu Xinyun slapped him fiercely: "I see that you yourself were instructed by someone to poison your brother and want to frame me!"

"You. . . You're here to quibble! My brother was poisoned by you!" Sun Ming immediately kowtowed to the county lord and said: "Please also ask my lord Mingjian, my brothers and I were hired to go to the Yunjian Restaurant some time ago to make trouble, this woman and the shopkeeper are friends, it must be because of this that they want to kill us!"

Chu Xinyun sneered and just wanted to speak, but was swallowed back by the shocking wood taken by the county magistrate.

"You each have your own arguments, and the official will find someone to ask and summon the witnesses!"

Soon, a cowering man walked into the public hall and carefully knelt next to Sun Ming: "Little Zhao Wu, meet the adult!"

Chu Xinyun was shocked when she saw this person, others didn't know her, but she knew, this person was the assistant chef in the back kitchen of Yunjian Restaurant before, because of Li Damin's matter, it was found that he was bought to poison the dishes, and he hadn't seen him since he was expelled, but he didn't expect to see him here.

"Zhao Wu, this official asks you, is this woman good friends with the shopkeeper of Yunjian Restaurant?"

Zhao Wu glanced at her with a wince, then nodded: "Yes, my lord, this little lady often comes to the restaurant to deliver food, and the relationship with the shopkeeper is very good." ”

Sun Ming became excited: "My lord, you see that I am not wrong!" This woman did it on purpose!"

"Silence!" The county magistrate shouted, and Sun Ming immediately lowered his head like a quail.

He turned to Chu Xinyun: "Do you have anything to say?"

"Where do I have anything to say?"

Chu Xinyun sneered: "These two people are colluding at a glance, my friendship with the shopkeeper is the same thing, if you want to do it, it is better to spend money to hire someone, why do it yourself?" Or did you happen to be seen by these people?"

But the county magistrate acted as if he hadn't heard her, and immediately took out the detention order and threw it on the ground: "Take the Chu family into custody and try it again tomorrow!" Quit!"

"Wei ~~Wu ~~"

Sun Ming looked proudly at Chu Xinyun, who was about to be arrested, and said silently with his lips: You are dead!

Chu Xinyun glared at him back, she knew that she was completely tricked, but fortunately she didn't say anything and walked towards the cell with the arrest.

As the sky gradually darkened, Li Xiuqi, who was bored in the courtyard, yawned, rubbed his stomach and wondered a little, saying that he would come back in a while, as if it was almost dark today, but no one saw it.

Suddenly, a cat meow came from outside the wall, and Li Xiuqi coughed lightly and shouted into the house: "I'll go out!" It doesn't matter if there is a response from Xiao Kill inside.

After saying that, he came to the outside of the wall, where a man was waiting in place.

Li Xiuqi plucked out his ears and asked, "Say, what's going on?"

"Young master, just now the spies came to report that Miss Chu encountered something on the way back, and now she is being escorted into the prison cell of the county government."

Li Xiuqi felt a little headache for a while, why did this happen with such a kung fu?

"Or is it the hand of King Jing's people?"

"Yes, eight or nine is not far from ten."

He touched his chin and was a little puzzled for a while: "What do this King Jing's subordinates have to do with her?"

But now is not the time to think about this problem, he waved off the attendant and pretended to be panicked and ran back to the courtyard: "Oh no! Something happened!"

Since this guy came here, Xiao Shu has not had a good impression of him, not to mention the problem of eating and drinking, this guy has nothing to do, just go to Xiao Yun, is he blind?

Seeing that there was no reaction in the room for a long time, he shouted again:

"Bang!"

"The little lady was arrested by the government!"

Xiao Shu, who was in a hurry, rushed out of the room, ran to him and asked, "What you said is true?" Xiao Yun, how could she be arrested by the government!"

Li Xiuqi spread his hands: "You ask me, I don't know, now let's hurry up and take a look, I'll go to the shopkeeper for help!"

Then the two soldiers divided into two routes, one went to the county office, and the other went to Yunjian Restaurant.

Xiao Shu was already injured on his body, and he was anxious about Chu Xinyun's situation, and when he arrived at the gate of the county office, he was already pale and drenched in cold sweat.

He forced the pain of the torn wound in his back to step forward and beat the drum, and it took a long time before an ugly hunter came out.

He shouted: "What's the noise in this big night, if you don't take the trial at night, you will talk about it tomorrow!" As he spoke, he ordered someone to close the door of the mansion, Xiao Shu looked at the closed door, and subconsciously clenched his fists.

On the other side, Li Xiuqi immediately went back to change his clothes and went to the mansion in a carriage.

Li Xiuqi looked at it in a gorgeous costume, and he was either rich or expensive, and the county lord was cautiously entertained.

"I don't know what Young Master Li is doing this time?"

Li Xiuqi closed the fan against his lips and chuckled, "I heard that the adult arrested a woman today?"

"It is true, this woman killed first......"

"One thousand taels, let go."

Hearing this number, the county master's face suddenly distorted.

Fortunately, the county master has seen a lot of winds and waves in recent years, and he quickly calmed down his expression.

He took a sip of the teacup, and sighed: "Young Master Li doesn't know, this evidence is conclusive, and the official is powerless!"

Li Xiuqi glanced at him and said with a light smile: "My lord, you and I are both understanding people, what evidence is not evidence, is it so serious?"

"I'm willing to increase the price, two thousand taels."

Hearing this number, the county master's hand holding the teacup trembled, and he smiled bitterly: "Young Master Li, don't embarrass me, this matter really can't be solved by spending money......

Hearing his words, Li Xiuqi's face gradually turned cold.

He leaned at the corner of the table and said casually: "My lord, the life of succumbing to King Jing is not easy, right?"

The county master's face stiffened, and he covered up: "What is Young Master Li saying, this official can't understand ......"

"It's not difficult to know what is happening in the capital now, but Young Master Ben is also a little curious, why does His Royal Highness King Jing embarrass such a little peasant woman?"

"This ....." The county magistrate couldn't help but lift his sleeve and wipe the hot sweat on his forehead, this matter has to start from last night.

In the middle of the night, the shopkeeper Chen of Jinbao Zhai came to him and said that he wanted to ask him for a favor.

Shopkeeper Chen is a matter of King Jing's subordinates, and he only learned about it not long ago, although he is in this small place, he will pay more attention to the situation in the capital on weekdays.

Today, the saint is old and frail, and it has long been time to establish a prince, King Jing's background is not very good, but he can't bear to have the means, and he is also a hot existence among the princes in the capital, and there are many people who hug their thighs.

Qian County Ling was naturally unwilling to be a little parent official in this place, not to mention that the shopkeeper Chen promised that if this matter was done, the benefits would be indispensable at that time, and the words and questions revealed the meaning of adding officials and promoting knighthood.

Qian Xianling was a cautious person, and thought that it was not a simple task for this little lady to come from an extraordinary background, but the investigator came back and reported that she was just a peasant woman farming in the countryside, and she had no background at all.
