Leaving a tael of silver for the accommodation, Lin Miao and his party began to hurry.

An hour later, everyone was hungry.

Lin Miao poked her head out and said, "Brother Cha, it's still more than two hours away from the county seat, I'm starving, let's have a meal first." ”

This is exactly what the officials want, there is a restaurant in front of them, and several people hurriedly stopped their horses and said, "There is a Quanji restaurant here." ”

Quanji Restaurant is famous for being the first choice of the wealthy.

Lin Miao glanced at the door of the restaurant where people came in and out from time to time, nodded and said, "Okay, let's eat here." ”

Five dishes and one soup are all signature dishes.

Ya Gongjia took a bite and said, "This dish looks exactly the same, but it's not as delicious as your sister's cooking." ”

"Of course." Lin Miao stretched out her chopsticks and put one in her mouth.

Speaking of which, the officials will be as peaceful as they are now, or because of Lin Xue.

When they came out of the room, the hungry servants ate at her house.

Seeing this, Lin Xue immediately went to the kitchen to add vegetables to them, warmed the wine, and pleaded softly with the officials to be kind to Lin Miao when she sent it out of the door.

Eating people with soft mouths and short hands on people, the officials took both of them, and their attitudes changed.

After the meal, several people continued to hurry, and arrived at the county office before noon.

The official went in to resume his life, and he was unexpectedly scolded, but according to Lin Miao's explanation, he was still scolded.

Can you not be scolded?

When everything was ready, only the east wind was owed, and this east wind was actually delayed on the road.

What now?

The master attached to Chen Hongwen's ear and whispered: "My lord, let's go to the hall to interrogate her first, she will definitely not be able to get rid of that medicine, and then..."

Chen Hongwen nodded his head, "Ascension." ”

The hall quickly rose, and there were more onlookers than yesterday, after all, homicides don't happen all the time, besides, halfway through the story, who doesn't want to know the ending?

They wanted to know the ending, and Lin Miao also wanted to know how the deceased died, was it really that he died after eating a heart-saving pill?

While waiting, Chen Hongwen finally appeared.

As soon as he sat in the hall, he was shocked, and immediately asked, "Lin, are you guilty?" ”

Lin Miao glanced at Ma Xiu'er on the left and Liu Zhang on the right, and asked, "What is the crime of the people's daughter?" ”

Chen Hongwen made a straight face, "In the Ma murder case, she said that you provided the poison." ”

Lin Miao straightened up and said loudly: "My lord, the maiden has never provided her with poison, please be aware of it." ”

Ma Xiu'er turned her head to look at Lin Miao, "Lin Yue, don't think about it, you made the medicine, you admit it at the door." ”

Lin Miao ignored her, and Chen Hongwen picked up the purse containing the medicine, "You can recognize this thing." ”

"Yes." Lin Miao smiled, "This is the purse I made to hold medicine." ”

"So you made the medicine in your purse?"

Lin Miao's gaze moved from the purse to Chen Hongwen's face, and said, "My lord, the purse belongs to the people's daughter, the medicine is uncertain, and the people's girl can only answer you after showing the people's girl." ”

Chen Hongwen took a breath and asked the official to show Lin Miao the purse.

Lin Miao took it, opened the purse, took out the pill, looked at its color, smelled its taste, and finally came to the conclusion: "My lord, this medicine is indeed made by a folk girl." ”

It's a bit magical, it doesn't deteriorate after a year, I don't know if it's Ma Xiuer's good storage or the quality of the medicine.

Hearing this, Chen Hongwen and the master were shocked, so easy to admit it? They also thought about a lot of questions.

Chen Hongwen swallowed his saliva, "It's good for you to admit it, since the poison was provided by you, then this crime of murder..."

"Wait, sir."

Lin Miao raised her hand to stop Chen Hongwen from going down and said, "The folk girl just said that the medicine was made by the folk girl, but she didn't admit any homicide, this medicine is not poison." ”

Not poison?

"You lie, you lie, this is poison, when I said I was going to feed Ma Xiu'er, she was so frightened that her face turned white, she recruited everything, it couldn't be poison..."

"Bang"

Liu Zhang's shouting was interrupted by a startled tree, Chen Hongwen glanced at her, and then turned to look at Lin Miao, "Are you sure this is not poison?" You also heard what Liu said just now. ”

Lin Miao replied: "If you go back to your lordship, the folk girl is very sure. “

"This medicine was made by the people's daughter, Ma Xiuer will think it is poison, and use it to kill people because she stole my medicine at that time, I lied to her that it was poison and asked her to hand over the medicine, but unfortunately she secretly had a bad heart and refused to give it."

"If you don't believe me, the folk girl can eat one on the spot and show it to you."

I really ate one.

The crowd was in an uproar, and they overwhelmingly believed that Lin Miao's medicine was not poison.

Ma Xiu'er's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly raised her voice: "My lord, since the medicine is not poison, I didn't kill that person." ”

No one reacted to her words, Chen Hongwen was depressed, it was really not poison, so...

Liu Zhang shook his head dumbly and said, "It's impossible that it's not poison, my brother died not long after drinking chicken soup." ”

This?

Lin Miao thought for a moment and asked, "Is your brother usually in good health?" ”

Liu Zhang's couldn't answer, and the Zhang family who was kneeling on the side didn't know how to answer, saying no, and I didn't see him, saying okay, people seemed to be getting thinner and thinner.

"Talk?" Don't have a reliable family?

The Zhang family glanced at each other, and the last one looked at the middle-aged woman in her forties and said, "The child's father is not in very good health, and he often complains that his body hurts." ”

Lin Miao nodded, "Then it may be related to this medicine, although this medicine is not poison, but if the deceased is weak, liver and kidney dysfunction, and the stomach is not good, if you eat it suddenly, it may also cause death." ”

What does this mean?

Surrounded people unconscious, did they die because of this medicine?

There was a lot of discussion, and the voices gradually became louder.

A light flashed in Chen Hongwen's eyes, and he slapped the hall in shock, shouting: "No noise above the court." ”

The crowd immediately shut down.

Liu Zhangshi reacted, and hurriedly kowtowed and said: "My lord, you heard, my brother is not in good health, and the person was really killed by Ma Xiu'er, so I beg my lord to let Ma Xiu'er kill and pay for his life." ”

Chen Hongwen glanced at her, then looked at Lin Miao and asked, "Lin, did you mean that the deceased died because of your medicine in what you just said?" ”

Lin Miao frowned, feeling that this was a bit strange, but he still answered truthfully: "If you go back to the adult, there is this possibility, but you have to have an autopsy to be sure." ”

"In that case, then take them to prison first, and then conduct an autopsy and then try them."

Before Chen Hongwen's words fell, several officials stepped forward and tried to escort Lin Miao down.

Lin Miao broke away from them and took a few steps back, and said in a cold voice, "My lord, what do you mean by this?" The folk girl didn't commit a crime, why did you detain the folk girl? ”

Chen Hongwen's face was full of seriousness: "The deceased died because of your medicine, and you can't leave the county office until the case is clarified." ”

"My lord, your request is very unreasonable, not to mention that the deceased is not sure if he died because of the medicine I made, even if it is, then it is the person who takes my medicine to him who will be punished, not me, the person who was stolen."
