Chapter Seventy-Nine: Am I Poisoned?
Lu Xiyi heard what Li Yuanwai meant, and clenched his fists with both hands: "The surname is Li, there is no evidence, don't speculate!" What is addictive, that's my wine-brewing good! ”
The county magistrate sneered: "Lu Xiyi, listening to what Li Yuanwai meant, it was you who put colorless and tasteless things in the wine to make the drinkers addicted, and went to your store to buy wine one after another......"
Li Yuanwai couldn't wait to say: "Master Mingcha, that's exactly the case!" She must have put the same medicine in the wine, but accidentally put too much in the wine, so my family drank it to death......"
How could Lu Xiyi tolerate Li Yuanwai's slander of Xiaoyao Liquor House like this, and raised his fist: "The surname Li is clearly that you framed him!" I dare to drink a hundred jars of wine from my winery! ”
Last time, Shen Sizhuo also slandered Lu Xiyi like this, and the conspiracy was exposed by Young Master Liu Ji, and there was no danger. This time, Li Yuanwai came to this trick again! Lu Xiyi was so anxious that he wanted to vomit blood.
"You...... What do you want? Want to kill someone? When Li Yuanwai saw Lu Xiyi raise his fist, he was already frightened, and hurriedly asked the county master for help, "Master, hurry up and make decisions for the grass people!" ”
Syllable!
The county magistrate slapped the stunned wood and shouted: "Lu Xiyi, how can you be allowed to do anything wrong in the public court, don't you put down your fists for this official quickly!" Otherwise, I'm going to be executed! ”
Ah Leng squeezed his eyes at Lu Xiyi and signaled her not to be excited.
Lu Xiyi calmed down a little, thinking about how to expose Li Yuanwai's conspiracy.
Li Yuanwai saw that Lu Xiyi was soft, and his arrogance became even more arrogant, and a ripple of smugness appeared on his face: "The citizens outside also saw that the dog I bought just now foamed at the mouth after drinking only a bowl of Lu Xiyi's wine, and this is evidence." Master, please put Lu Xiyi in prison and escort him to the Criminal Department for interrogation! ”
Once I went to the Criminal Department, it was different! The big punishment in the criminal department is many times more than that in the county government, and the tolerances there are all fierce, like wolves and tigers, and those who go there, even if they are white, will be tortured into tricks. Therefore, as soon as he heard this name, Lu Xiyi's handsome face turned white, his feet were weak, and his body shook.
Fortunately, Ah Leng was by the side, supporting her, otherwise she might have fallen to the ground.
"My lord, as a parent official, you must not be hasty in everything!" Ah Leng's eyes refused, and every time the county magistrate saw him, his heart would tremble. "This vat of wine has been sent to the villa, no one knows if someone deliberately put poison in it to frame us Xiaoyao Wine Workshop, if the adult just relies on Li Yuanwai's words, send Xiaoxi to the criminal department, it will be too child's play for human life!"
The county magistrate thought about it, and asked him to come over first to test what medicine was in the wine.
"My lord, there is indeed a medicine in the wine." That's what he answered.
Lu Xiyi and Ah Leng were taken aback: How could it be?
The county master's eyes lit up: "Do you know what the drug is?" ”
He looked puzzled: "I've seen this medicine, but it's actually ......."
The county magistrate and Li Yuanwai asked in unison: "Actually, what?" ”
He looked at Lu Xiyi and Ah Leng: "Actually, this medicine is not toxic!" ”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was surprised. The next question will come naturally.
"Since it's not toxic, why did Lu Xiyi put it in the wine?" While the county magistrate was asking about the work, he was also asking Lu Xiyi.
Ah Leng knew, and what he found out was the potion he got from Shen Sizhuo!
"Do you know what that is?" The county magistrate asked again.
He replied, "It is a medicine that promotes fermentation." ”
"Do you have any other breweries?"
"This is the first time I've seen it."
Syllable!
The county magistrate slapped the wooden board again: "Lu Xiyi, this is clearly slow, sexual, poison, and medicine!" Li Yuanwai's family died of drinking your wine! Come on, give her 20 boards first, and see if she recruits or not! ”
Ah Leng's figure floated, and his cold eyes rolled: "I see who dares to touch her at all!" ”
The officials hurriedly dispersed again, not daring to approach Lu Xiyi.
Now Aleng has finally figured it out. The dog that Li Yuanwai bought had actually been filled with poison before, and drinking wine was just to let the poison react earlier, so the dog vomited and died in front of everyone. Li Yuanwai wanted to bring Lu Xiyi and him to the county government and let him come to test what substances were in the wine.
Because the person behind the trick is Shen Sizhuo, Shen Sizhuo knows that Ah Leng will take the potion back, and he will definitely put it into the wine, and he can check it out after a test. It's not poison, but it's enough to bring the Loose Wine House to the ground. What's more, if the emperor knows about this matter, he will definitely kill all the people in the Xiaoyao Wine Workshop!
Therefore, this matter can be big or small, and Ah Leng must not take it lightly.
"Ah Leng, are you going to despise your own officials and the court?" The county lord shouted.
Ah Leng patted Lu Xiyi's arm and comforted her not to worry.
"I want to ask you, what else have you tested besides this leavening agent?"
After working for a long time, he shook his head: "Other than that, there is nothing else!" ”
"Good!" This disaster, in the final analysis, was brought by Ah Leng, and he must whitewash Lu Xiyi, "The so-called fermentation agent, as the name suggests, is to speed up the fermentation of wine, what is poisonous?" If it's really poisonous, and drinking too much can kill people, then I'll drink the remaining half of the bottle now, so that everyone can see if it's poisonous or not. ”
Turning his head outward: "Xiaomeng, you go back and bring my bottle of potion!" ”
Xiaomeng saw it that day, and knew which bottle Ah Leng was referring to. She ran back to the winery, found the bottle in the basket on the wall of the workshop, and ran to the yamen out of breath.
"Brother, here you go!"
Ah Leng held the medicine bottle in his hand and faced the servant: "This is the fermentant I put in, if you don't believe it, you can verify that it is exactly the same as what you found in that vat of wine." ”
The county master: "It's done, check it immediately!" ”
An hour later, the result was reached: "My lord, Ah Leng has indeed brought me the leavening agent I just mentioned. ”
Ah Leng took the medicine bottle and said to the county master: "Now I will drink the whole bottle of potion, if it is poisonous, I will definitely foam at the mouth and roll my eyes and die!" ”
"Ah Leng, don't ......" Before Lu Xiyi finished speaking, Ah Leng had already grunted and drank the rest of the medicine bottle into his stomach.
Even if it is not a poison, drinking too much of this fermentant is not good for the body.
Ah Leng threw the bottle away and spread his hands: "Let's see, is there anything wrong with me?" ”
Afraid that everyone wouldn't believe that his body was not in pain at all, Ah Leng took the sword and performed a wonderful set of swordsmanship in the court.
After collecting the sword and condensing the qi, Ah Leng's face was not red or hot, his breath was not panting, and he smiled: "Everyone has seen it, do I have any signs of poisoning?" ”
The county magistrate was in a dilemma. If Lu Xiyi is not sent to the Criminal Department, he has already received Shen Sizhuo's money; If Lu Xiyi is sent to the Criminal Department, the only evidence now is not enough to prove her guilt. He looked at Li Yuanwai: "Do you have anything to say?" ”
