"What!" Hu Xianling exclaimed in surprise, and looked at Hu Er with a tense face: "What's going on!" ”

Hu Er looked at Hu Xian Ling with a frightened face, knelt on the ground with a "bang", and said tremblingly: "Lord Mingjian! This matter has nothing to do with the small one, and the little one really doesn't know it! ”

"My lord, this..."Hu Xianling turned his head to look at the silent Ye Yun with some hesitation, and didn't know what to do for a while.

Since he became the county magistrate of Donglin County, Hu Er has been by his side, for so many years, although the level of handling cases is average and he is lazy, his heart is not bad, he doesn't believe that Hu Er will do this kind of thing.

The only possibility is to be framed, but who would risk poisoning in public?

Once discovered, isn't it equivalent to throwing yourself into the net?

"It's not him!" Glancing at the brown fruit mixed in the mushroom cube on the ground, Ye Yun asked coldly, "Where did you get this thing?" ”

Hu Er didn't know, so he looked up at Ye Yun, and was a little confused for a while: "The little one doesn't know what the adults are referring to..."

"That brown thing." As he spoke, Ye Yun pointed to something on the ground.

Looking in the direction that Ye Yun was pointing, when he touched something familiar, Hu Er suddenly said, "Is the adult talking about this fruit?" When the small one went to the back mountain to pick mushrooms, he found a ravine, the ravine was full of this thing, the fruit in the shade was cyan, the yang was brown, there were many footprints around the ravine, the little curiosity took a closer look, and found that there were traces of being picked in some places, so the small one picked a few fruits and came back, thinking of using this rare thing to give everyone a try, who knows... The little one is really damned, it's not good to take anything, but I took the poisonous fruit, and I almost made a big mistake! In the end, Tiger Er is extremely remorseful!

"Ah Yun, is this fruit really poisonous?" Yan Yan was curious, when she lived at the bottom of the cliff before, she had never seen any poison, but now this fruit, she really had never heard of it, and she had never seen it.

"This fruit is called poppy fruit, the appearance is green before it is not ripe, and there is a layer of milky white liquid inside, this liquid contains highly poisonous, if it is eaten by mistake, it will make people addicted, and it will foam at the mouth, delirium, madness and death!" Ye Yun lowered his eyes and pondered while explaining, thinking of the cyan fragment that Yan Yan took out from the corpse's stomach before, Ye Yun had a plan in his heart, I am afraid that the murders in Xisha Village are all related to the accidental consumption of poppy fruits!

Thinking of this, Ye Yun's eyes sank and said, "You just said that there are still a lot of poppy fruits in the back mountain?" ”

"Yes, the whole gully is densely packed." Tiger Er was busy.

A flash of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and Ye Yun said, "Let's go, take me to see." "Such a harmful thing must not be allowed to flow into the market!

"My lord, go this way!" Hu Er hurriedly walked in front to lead the way, and as soon as a few people stepped out of the door, Ye Yun saw several officials sitting in the corner behind the courtyard gate, at this time, they were holding a bowl, munching on the pig bones of the bowl, and a large pot of chicken and mushroom soup was placed on their side.

So, Ye Yun reminded loudly: "Don't drink the soup, the soup is poisonous." ”

After speaking, several people walked out of the courtyard quickly and headed towards the back mountain.

Looking at the direction in which Ye Yun and the others left, several officials glanced at the soup that had not been touched, and hurriedly poured out all the soup, and even threw the basin far away by the way, fearing that the poison would not flow away with the soup, and it would remain inside, and when the time came, it would be stained on their hands and eaten into their stomachs by mistake.

On the other side, Ye Yun and the others climbed to the top of the mountain under the leadership of Hu Er, and then went around to the bottom along the path on the other side of the mountain.

Looking at the continuous blue poppy fruit in front of him, Ye Yun decisively ordered: "Burn them all!" ”

"My lord, will there be anything wrong with this, there are other villages at the foot of this mountain, if we set fire to these poisonous fruits and ignite other plants and trees at the same time, then the fire will burn, I am afraid that all the plants and trees on this mountain will not be protected, how should the lower officials explain to the nearby villagers at that time!" Hu Xianling arched his body and disagreed.

"Lord Hu, this thing must not be kept, if it is maliciously dispersed by people with bad intentions, it will not only be a few people who will die, but a country!" Looking at the lush poppy forest, Ye Yun said resolutely.

Ye Yun's words sounded a bit exaggerated and appalling to Hu Countyling! As long as he returned to the county government to issue a notice and ordered people to preach in various villages, no one would eat this fruit by mistake, and the tragedy in Xisha Village would not be staged.

Although he didn't approve of Ye Yun's approach in his heart, the official was crushed to death, not to mention that this official was invited by himself, so Hu Xian Ling could only swallow all his dissatisfaction into his stomach, and let Ye Yun command his subordinate Hu Er, to find the wine jar for a while, and to find the hay for a while.

After a short time, Hu Er returned from the bottom of the mountain, holding two jars of wine in his arms and a bundle of hay behind his back.

Putting the things on the ground, Hu Er raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat on his head, looked at Ye Yun and said, "My lord, the little one led people to turn the village inside and out, and only found two jars of wine. ”

With such a large poppy forest, it is far from enough to rely on two jars of wine, but with the lack of resources, she can only use it.

"Tiger Er, spread the hay on it." Ye Yun said.

"Yes!" Hu Er hurriedly picked up the hay, tore off the straw stalks that tied the haystack, and neatly spread the hay onto the outermost poppy seedlings.

"Chu Ci, ignition of the fire!" Ye Yun commanded.

"Yes!" Chu Ci casually picked up a dead wood branch from the ground, took out the fire fold from it, opened the lid, blew it lightly, and the flames swooped up, seeing this, Chu Ci put the dead wood branch up, and after a while, the dead wood branch was ignited, Chu Ci took advantage of the time when the dead wood branch was burning the most vigorously, and threw it at the dry grass.

When a dead tree meets dry grass, it is like a dry crop meets rain and dew, and it burns at once.

Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the poppy seedlings were emitting choking smoke, Ye Yun said: "Chu Ci, throw the wine jar into the fire now." ”

Chu Ci didn't dare to delay, stretched out his big hand, scooped up the wine jar, and then threw the wine jar out at a very fast speed.

"Crackling~" The wine jar shattered in response, the wine splashed, with the addition of wine, the fire that was about to fade was rekindled, and in an instant, the ravine turned into a sea of fire, and countless poppy fruits were all buried in the sea of fire.

Looking at the burning green seedlings, Yan Yan sighed with emotion: "Burning this damn poisonous fruit can be regarded as an explanation for the dozens of villagers in Xisha Village who died unjustly. ”

"It's all the fault of greed, and if they hadn't been gluttonous, such a sad thing wouldn't have happened." Bai Zhi said sadly.

"That's right! It can be seen that being too greedy is not a good thing! Yan Yan nodded approvingly, then turned her head to look at Ye Yun and said, "Ah Yun, are you right?" ”

Hearing this, Ye Yun didn't answer, but quietly watched the tongue of fire in front of him swallow the source of sin little by little, not knowing what he was thinking.
