079 Rat Poison
The patriarch's face changed.
The village chief's face was also a little indescribable.
The corners of Li Feng's mouth twitched, and he looked at Wang Kuixing's eyes with a little mockery and disdain.
Luoshan Village is recruiting such a big move, who doesn't know that the Su family of the Gu family has entered the eyes of the county order because of the improvement of soil quality.
Regardless of whether the Su family has an old grudge with Mrs. Wang, anyone who has a little vision will not say it again.
To tell you the truth, even if this matter was really done by the Su family, the county magistrate was still waiting for the improvement of the soil quality to add merit to achieve the goal of promotion, how could he trouble the Su family at this time?
The career of an adult, how can a cheap life be delayed!
Fortunately, the royal patriarch is a discerning person.
The county order is the county order, the soil emperor in the county.
It's like taking office as a prefectural magistrate.
In the sixth year of Yuan Yong, his brother-in-law pretended to be in the name of the draft and selected seven or eight beautiful girls from various villages.
After two months, they were all sent home with their bodies broken.
The mad are crazy, the dead are dead.
But what can be done?
There is a family that does not believe in evil and wants to go to the state government to sue the county order.
There was no way, and the city gate did not enter, so he was directly arrested, charged with meticulous crimes, and executed in public.
Later, the county order asked the officials to find all the sufferers to the county office, and first told the news that the family was executed by Ling Chi.
He also put all the sins on his brother-in-law, and in front of the people, he asked the officials to rebuke his brother-in-law with fifty rods.
He also personally apologized to the sufferer, and each family compensated two taels of silver.
Coercion and temptation, this matter is over.
In contrast, Fang County Ling said that he was a good official, at least he had been in office for two years, and he had not looted the people's fat and ointment, and the judgment was quite fair.
But the premise of these is that they do not touch the interests of the county order.
Patriarch Wang quietly blocked Wang Kuixing back, and said to Li Feng: "This poor master, the child is not sensible, don't be like him.
The matter between the Gu family and the Wang family was the fault of the Wang mother-in-law, and the old man was in charge, so that the Wang family lost the money to the Gu family, and more than a month has passed, so it is not a dispute."
After that, he turned back to Wang Kuixing and said:
"Uncle Zeng knows that you can't accept the sad news of your mother's death.
But this matter is a foregone conclusion, and if your mother knows about it, she must hope that you can cheer up, instead of indulging in sadness and talking nonsense.
Su is talented and broad-minded, and Uncle Zeng can assure you that this matter will never have anything to do with her."
Wang Kuixing was woken up, and he was afraid for a while.
Although they don't like Su and don't believe in this method of soil improvement, it doesn't mean that they don't know the importance of soil improvement.
At this critical juncture, if you are against the Su family, you are against the county order.
Wang Kuixing hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Uncle Zeng's lesson is that I am confused."
Patriarch Wang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Li Feng with a flattering smile.
Li Feng waved his hand with a straight face.
"Be careful when you talk in the future."
Wang Kuixing bowed his head and responded.
and replied carefully according to Li Feng's question just now.
Of course, they knew what was going on that night.
"My mother ate happy porridge last night.
There was a lot of porridge, and she didn't finish it, so she was reluctant to throw it away, and said that she would use a water tank to calm it, and wait for it to be used for breakfast today."
….
Li Feng was keenly aware of the anomaly.
"You didn't eat porridge?"
Wang Kuixing naturally couldn't tell the truth, so he immediately weaved lies, and never forgot to set up a hard-working character.
"We will study at night, and we will eat rice when we are not full of porridge."
When Li Feng came, he also heard from the village chief that the husband and son of this Wang mother-in-law were all children.
He nodded thoughtfully and said, "Where's the porridge?"
Wang Kuixing immediately said, "My mother has not come back today, us
I don't have the heart to eat, this porridge is still in the kitchen."
In fact, there was no one to cook, so they used pastries to satisfy their hunger.
"Take me to the kitchen."
"Here, please."
The group went to the kitchen, and as soon as they entered, they smelled a rancid smell, Li Feng frowned slightly, and covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves.
Looking at the taste, it is porridge, which is packed in ceramic jars without lids, and the ceramic jars are packed in baskets and hung in water tanks.
To everyone's disgust, dead rats were floating in the water in the tank and the porridge in the ceramic jar.
Now you don't need to check it to understand.
The porridge is poisonous, and it looks like it should be rat poison.
Rat poison, in the form of a white powder, has an unusual attraction to mice, but when it smells to humans, it is tasteless.
The price is a little expensive, but the medicinal effect is strong, a little powder is melted in water, and then soaked in grain, and the rodent is not harmful.
According to the news he learned, those who had abdominal pain yesterday just took a small sip, thinking that there was a lot of medicine in this porridge.
It's just that I don't know if this medicine was deliberately put into it, or if the deceased took it by mistake and sprinkled it as a condiment?
Li Feng was a little unsure, so he gave the other two officials on the side a look and asked them to get some porridge.
Then he said to the three brothers Wang Kuixing: "The things in the kitchen are temporarily untouched.
And if you think about it, who came into this kitchen yesterday?"
The three brothers of Wang Kuixing looked at each other, they closed their doors yesterday, where did they know about this.
But yesterday was the day of Wang Yingying's marriage, if they told the truth, this reputation would not be good in the future.
The mother is gone, they are going to keep filial piety for three years, if their reputation is damaged, can anyone be willing to marry after these three years?
The three of them glanced at each other quickly, and they already had a statement in their hearts.
"Although the eldest sister got married yesterday, the people who came to celebrate were all outside the courtyard.
We don't know exactly who entered the kitchen, but what we know for sure is that before my eldest sister got into the sedan chair yesterday afternoon, the only outsider in the family was Xi Po."
Li Feng frowned: "Xi Po? Who is she?"
Wang Kuixing shook his head: "Xi Po was arranged by the eldest brother-in-law's family, and we don't know."
The more I listen to this, the weirder it becomes.
The marrying girl is not reluctant to feast, but cooks white porridge to feast guests, and the guests do not enter the door, but stay outside the courtyard.
Is this sure to be a married girl?
Li Feng asked again, "Who is your eldest sister marrying?"
Wang Kuixing's face suddenly became a little ugly, but he still replied 1510: "Master Hu of the Hu family in the county seat."
Li Feng's expression was impressed.
"The one in the county who is not in good shape?"
Wang Kuixing nodded.
Li Feng didn't continue the topic for a while.
They are the leaders of the government service team, and they have all been mentioned by the county commanders, and those people in this coastal county can't be provoked, and their hearts are clear.
The Hu family, who came to the coastal county this year, was in deep water.
Li Feng's gaze fell on the bowl in the hands of the two subordinates.
"I'll go back to the county first, let the doctor determine whether it's rat poison, if it's true, I guess I can solve the case tomorrow."
Rat poison, like arsenic, must be registered in the hospital for purchase and shipment.
If it is confirmed that it is rat poison, you only need to check the books registered in each medical hall to find out the people who have purchased a large amount of this medicine, and then carefully check it, and you can solve the case.
The patriarch Wang and the village chief immediately thanked Li Feng, and then personally sent Li Feng and the three of them away.
As the carriage moved away, the royal patriarch's face sank and he looked at the village chief.
"The death of this mother-in-law is a private matter of our Wang family, what is your intention in inviting Li Bantou to come?"
"What did Uncle say about this?"
The village chief pretended to be confused.
"This afternoon, the fields were completed, and when Li Bantou went back, he happened to meet me returning to the village.
During the conversation between the two, Li Bantou asked me why I was not in the village, and I told me the truth.
And Li Bantou learned about the village
The son took his life, and bluntly said that he wanted to investigate clearly, how can I, as the head of a village, shirk or sit idly by?"
I like that after death, I became the cannon fodder mother of the three protagonists
