Chapter 67: The White Lotus's Calculations
How is it possible?
Such a thought turned in his mind, and Xia Chunzhi subconsciously refuted.
"How is that possible!!"
As soon as Xia Chunzhi's words were finished, Ji Linyuan's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Impossible? Aunt Chunzhi, how do you know that it is impossible? Does Aunt know something?"
If he was only suspicious of Xia Chunzhi before, then now, Ji Linyuan is sure that something will happen to his sister-in-law's restaurant, and it must have something to do with her.
As soon as Xia Chunzhi's words came out, he was shocked, and the whole person was a little panicked, and when he heard Ji Linyuan's voice, the whole person was a little flustered.
Bai Hanyang on the side suddenly turned bad after hearing Xia Chunzhi's words, and when he saw Ji Linyuan asking this, he quickly stood up: "What can she know about the second aunt, she said that it is impossible to say that Sanya's business is so good, the food is so delicious, and she hasn't eaten dead people for so long, how can she suddenly eat dead people." ”
Yes, Bai Hanyang's restaurant ate dead people, Bai Hanyang was very surprised, but after thinking about it, he understood, probably that person deceived them, but if you deceive, Bai Hanyang's heart felt inexplicably cool.
Eat the dead, look how arrogant she is.
Thinking like this, Bai Hanyang looked at Ji Linyuan worriedly: "Sanya's restaurant eats dead people, is there anything wrong?"
Ji Linyuan's eyes swept away, and he saw Bai Hanyang's worried look, but there was an irrepressible smile in his eyes.
"Don't worry, it's nothing, Lord Song is very concerned about this matter, and said that he will definitely catch the real murderer and return his sister-in-law to her innocence. Ji Linyuan said coolly.
Bai Hanyang, who was still a little gloating, suddenly turned blue after hearing Ji Linyuan's words, how could Lord Song care about the matter of Sanya's little widow? What is their relationship, if Lord Song really cares, what should I do if I find out about them? Thinking like this, Bai Hanyang's whole person is not good.
Xia Chunzhi on the side couldn't turn his mind at the moment, thinking about what Ji Linyuan said that Lord Song was very concerned about, his whole face turned pale, and he couldn't be afraid.
What should I do, what should I do, what if they knew that it was her who gave the medicine? Xia Chunzhi's heart was in a mess.
The White Lotus is also a good-eyed person, although she wanted to brush her presence more in front of Ji Linyuan, but after seeing Xia Chunzhi's face, she hurriedly walked over.
"Second aunt, don't be too sad, Sanya, she has her own natural appearance, didn't Brother Ji say that Lord Song is very concerned about this matter?"
Xia Chunzhi came back to her senses after being pinched like this, and looked at the white lotus with a pale face and pulled the corners of her mouth: "I'm just too worried, why would I eat the dead." ”
But isn't it? It's obviously a medicine for diarrhea, how can you eat the dead, killing people is to pay for your life, if you find out that it's her, then she will definitely be dead, thinking like this, Xia Chunzhi was panicked, her legs were weak and she couldn't stand, if it wasn't for the white lotus to help her, I'm afraid she would have fallen to the ground now.
"Yes, how can you eat the dead, I don't know what will happen to the murderer after he is caught, Lord Song said that if the murderer can take the initiative to admit it, he can confess and be lenient, but unfortunately the murderer doesn't know what Lord Song thinks, and when the time comes, I'm afraid it will be miserable. ”
Seeing Xia Chunzhi's pale face, Ji Linyuan hooked the corners of his mouth and said slowly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Chunzhi's face became more and more bad.
"I'm just afraid that Aunt Chunzhi will be worried, so I came to talk to you, and now you know, I'll go back, Auntie, don't worry too much, I see that your face is not very good, if I didn't know that you couldn't be the murderer, I thought you were the murderer." ”
Ji Linyuan's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, slashing at the heads of several people present, making everyone present freeze.
The first to react were White Lotus and Bai Hanyang, and White Lotus looked at Ji Linyuan in disbelief: "Brother Ji, how can you say that, the second aunt is Sanya's mother-in-law, how can she harm Sanya." ”
"But no, that is, whoever harms Sanya can't be the second aunt, tiger poison doesn't eat children," Bai Hanyang said after Bai Lianhua's words.
Xia Chunzhi was used to being bullied at home, where had she seen this battle, she was so frightened that she couldn't speak at the moment, listening to the conversation between the three of them, she opened her mouth, and she couldn't say a word.
Seeing this, Ji Linyuan hooked his mouth: "I'm just saying it in passing, don't take it to heart, I'm leaving." ”
White Lotus looked at Ji Linyuan's lips and chuckled, and the whole person was stunned, good, look good, how can there be such a good-looking person.
At this moment, Bai Hanyang and Xia Chunzhi were eager for Ji Linyuan to go, if he wanted to leave, they would naturally not stay, and White Lotus wanted to keep him, but now she was immersed in Ji Linyuan's handsome face and couldn't extricate herself, and when she came back to her senses, Ji Linyuan had already gone away.
"Oh, why don't you stay here for Brother Ji to eat here and go back, the road to the county seat is still so far, and I don't know if he has had lunch at noon. ”
White Lotus came back to her senses, looked at Xia Chunzhi and Bai Hanyang who were sitting on the stool, and said complainingly.
If Ji Linyuan was left to eat here, she would be able to stay with him for a while, and she would be able to show how virtuous she was, and the more she thought about it, the more annoyed White Lotus became.
"Eat, eat, you know how to eat, I think your brain is squeezed by the door. Bai Hanyang was annoyed, and when he saw the white lotus looking like a nymphomaniac, he couldn't help but get angry, and when he looked at the white lotus's face, he suddenly became bad.
The white lotus is beautiful, how happy is it to be murdered, and without saying a word, he glanced at Bai Hanyang: "I see that your brain is squeezed by the door." ”
How good Ji Linyuan is, he is handsome, and he is a talented master, maybe he can win Xie Yuan in this government test, look at how good the clothes he wears are and how good the material is, Sanya must have earned a lot of money, if you marry him, then you don't have to worry about it in this life.
Bai Hanyang gave White Lotus a word to block his heart, and was about to speak, when the closed courtyard was pushed away, and he saw the Wang family and Bai Chengjia coming back with hoes.
"What about people, didn't you say that there was a son looking for the second child?
As soon as the Wang family entered the door, they looked around to find someone to get up, after Xia Chunzhi walked from the field, she thought about it and thought that she should come back and see, the rich son-in-law, when did she know the son-in-law, if she was really rich, wouldn't it be great to let Lotus marry her?
As soon as such an idea appeared, the Wang family told Bai Chengjia and them, and Zhao Jinhua heard Wang's plan, where was there anything unhappy, so a few people stopped working, and came back with a hoe, but they didn't want to see a personal shadow when they came back.
"Grandma, you're back, Brother Ji is gone. ”
The White Lotus was cultivated by the Wang family, and as soon as the Wang family opened her mouth, the White Lotus knew what her plans were, and immediately said aggrievedly.
Originally, the Wang family and Zhao Jinhua were still thinking about where the son-in-law was, but when they heard the White Lotus speak, surnamed Ji, their faces suddenly turned bad.
"Brother Ji, Brother Ji, I think you have a problem with your brain, I don't know what kind of heart Ji Linyuan came here to settle in, you are a big brother Ji, why do you really like Ji Linyuan." ”
Bai Hanyang thought about what Ji Linyuan said today, and he always felt a little uneasy in his heart, and with his clothes and bearing, he felt pantothenic acid in his heart.
Why can he wear such good clothes, why is he taking the government exam now, but he is taking the township exam.
Thinking about it, he thought that Bai Yu's restaurant was now eating dead people, and it would definitely not be able to be opened, and he would see if he could still have such good clothes on the ship in the future, thinking like this, Bai Hanyang's heart suddenly became happy.
Bai Lianhua was caught by Bai Hanyang's words, and suddenly her face turned red, she stomped her feet, and looked at Wang: "Grandma, look at how the eldest brother speaks." ”
"Okay, okay, your eldest brother is talking about playing. Seeing this, Zhao Jinhua nodded at the head of the white lotus, but her heart also opened up.
Ji Linyuan is a showman, maybe he can take the exam and come back with Xie Yuan at this time, Sanya's restaurant business is good, something is wrong at this time, there must be money left in his hand, if her lotus is married, it is really a good choice.
"Ji Linyuan, what is he doing here?"
Bai Chengjia, who had not made a sound on the side, asked in a deep voice.
When Bai Hanyang heard this, he told them what Ji Linyuan said when he came.
Suddenly, several people's faces became embarrassed, especially Xia Chunzhi, who was sitting on the stool, and the whole person stayed there and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Does he know?"
Bai Chengjia sat on the stool and asked with a dark face, but he didn't care much about the fact that the restaurant ate people to death, and if he died, he would die, and he was afraid that if he knew something, it would be bad.
"It shouldn't be able to, Dad, how could he know, Chunzhi is doing it unknowingly, if he really knows, he won't just let Lord Song arrest people." Bai Dinghai didn't believe it, if he knew why he would say so many things, it would be good to report it to the official directly.
"No, grandpa, Brother Ji is here to report a letter, saying that something happened to Sanya's restaurant, how could he know. As soon as White Lotus heard Bai Dinghai say this, she immediately continued.
Seeing this, Bai Hanyang also opened his mouth and said: "I think he shouldn't know, otherwise he wouldn't have counted it like this, but the second aunt is like this, it's easy to make people upset, but don't open your mouth to say it." ”
Bai Hanyang said, glanced at Xia Chunzhi, Xia Chunzhi was sitting there with a pale face at the moment, and the whole person was stunned.
Originally, Bai Chengjia saw that he said this, and his heart was relieved a lot, but when he turned his head and saw Xia Chunzhi's appearance, his face suddenly sank.
"What are you doing here? I'm afraid people won't know, right?"
Bai Chengjia's voice was not loud, but it was heavy with a hint of sternness, Xia Chunzhi, who was still in a daze, came back to his senses when he heard the latter spirit, looked at the few people who had returned, and opened his mouth in a panic.
"Dad, mother, does Linyuan know, Lord Song won't let me go, you have to save me......" Xia Chunzhi panicked, Ji Linyuan's words echoed in her mind like a spell.
"What are you talking nonsense, what are you saving, what do you know, I will kill you, what are you talking nonsense?"
"If you mess with me outside, I won't tear your mouth. ”
For Xia Chunzhi, the Wang family will never keep his hand, it is all a dead hand to greet him, but Xia Chunzhi really eats this set, and was slapped by the Wang family, and was originally panicked, but now he is not panicked, and his heart has settled down.
But it was said that it was night when Ji Linyuan returned from Baijia Village, and as soon as he went back, he saw Widow Zhang and the Xue family guarding the hall, and Zhang Ziheng didn't leave, seeing Ji Linyuan coming back, they all set their eyes on him.
"How?"
Several people stood up from their stools and looked at Ji Linyuan who came back.
Ji Linyuan glanced at them, closed the door, and said in a deep voice, "It should be her." His words were just a lie to them, but looking at Xia Chunzhi's reaction, there was no need to say anything more, it had already been proved that it was the medicine she put out.
Thinking of this, his heart sank to the bottom.
How could he tell his sister-in-law that the person who harmed her was really her mother.
Although everyone had been speculating like this before, but it was not confirmed in the end, they still didn't believe it in their hearts, but now that they heard Ji Linyuan say this, the few people present were still a little incredulous.
"She, how could she do such a thing!!" Widow Zhang sat on the stool and her tears fell, how could such a mother be so a woman who framed her own daughter.
"Then why don't you hurry up and tell Master Song and ask him to arrest Xia Chunzhi so that Yu'er can be released. Widow Zhang said without thinking.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Shi and Xue Ziyi couldn't help but nod.
"No, now that I know that she killed my sister-in-law, what are you waiting for, tell Lord Song to arrest her quickly. ”
Xue Ziyi hated it, and couldn't wait to go and replace the white jade immediately.
But he didn't want Ji Linyuan to be silent, and even Zhang Ziheng, who had always been babbling, was silent.
"There is no way to tell Lord Song without evidence, and now I don't even know what kind of poison it is. Xue Hanyu on the side saw this and whispered.
Widow Zhang and Xue Ziyi, who were originally full of confidence, were stunned after hearing Xue Hanyu's words.
He sighed.
"How so, is there no way?"
Widow Zhang sat on the stool, hunched over and muttered.
"Okay, now that we know who did it, pay attention to those who can always catch the handle, I'm afraid Lin Yuan has even eaten this day, so hurry up and eat." Seeing this, Xue Shi hurriedly cheered up and said.
A few people ate something casually, Zhang Ziheng went back to Zhang's house, and as soon as Zhang Ziheng left, the Xue family and they could all go to sleep.
Ji Linyuan was lying on the bed thinking about Bai Yu who was still in the prison, I don't know if my sister-in-law has eaten, and if she will be afraid in the prison, thinking like this, I can't sleep after turning around.
Xue Hanyu couldn't sleep either, and when he saw this, he simply sat up from the bed.
"Lin Yuan, I can't sleep anyway, we want to think about it, what if we can't find evidence?"
"I've thought about it. Hearing this, Ji Linyuan sat up from the bed and glanced at Xue Hanyu: "I'll go to the yamen tomorrow, if I don't have any eyebrows, I'll ...... like this" As he spoke, Ji Linyuan put his head on Xue Hanyu's ear.
Ji Linyuan and Xue Hanyu were discussing how to rescue Bai Yu at the moment, but Bai Yu in the prison was not worried at all at the moment, sleeping on the new quilt sent by Lord Song, and entered the dream early.
Isn't she worried? worried, but in prison, it's completely useless for her to worry, she might as well go to bed early.
Early the next morning, Ji Linyuan and the others got up early and were about to go to the yamen, when there was a knock on the closed door.
"Who. Xue Ziyi opened the door quickly, and saw an old man carrying a flag standing at the door, not the old doctor who was invited yesterday or who.
"Doctor, we forgot yesterday's consultation fee, you come in and sit down, I'll get it right away." When Xue Ziyi saw the old man, he suddenly remembered that he was in a panic yesterday, and he forgot to pay the consultation fee, so he thought about it and hurriedly ran to the house.
"Huh...... I ...... "I'm not here to ask for a consultation fee......
Xue Ziyi's temperament is fiery, and before the old doctor's words were finished, Xue Ziyi ran away, looking at Xue Ziyi's anxious roar, the old doctor couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.
Ji Linyuan and Xue Hanyu on the side walked over when they saw this.
"Doctor, I'm sorry, my sister is like this, I'm really embarrassed that something happened suddenly yesterday. ”
For Xue Ziyi, Xue Hanyu was also helpless.
Seeing this, the old doctor waved his hand: "I'm not here to ask for a consultation fee." ”
"Is there something wrong with the old doctor?" Seeing this, Ji Linyuan hurriedly asked, as he spoke, his eyes fell on the flag carried by the old doctor, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind and he was about to speak, when the old doctor's voice sounded on the side.
"Yesterday's poison, I went back and thought about it, and finally I only thought that one herb matched the symptoms of yesterday's diner. ”
"Huaigen, dug out and ground into powder, colorless and tasteless, fierce medicine, although it is not poison, it is better than poison. ”
Huaigen's medicinal properties are too fierce, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the medicine of tigers and wolves, because of this, it was listed as a banned drug early, and the medical hall and pharmacy did not sell it, how could anyone have this medicinal material?
The old doctor's heart was puzzled.
Sure enough, after hearing the old doctor's words, Ji Linyuan and Xue Hanyu couldn't help frowning: "Isn't Huaigen already a banned drug, how can there be one? Who is so bold as to dare to sell this?"
The old doctor also wanted to know, like an idiot, he looked at Ji Linyuan: "You're afraid you're stupid, now it's not about who sells this medicine, but about how to save people, it's your sister-in-law, right?"
"May I ask the old doctor what he has to do. When the old doctor said this, Ji Linyuan was not annoyed, and arched his hand at the old doctor and said in a deep voice.
Seeing this, the old doctor waved his hand: "It's not a good strategy, since you know what kind of medicinal herbs it is, it's not difficult, Huaigen starts, then your hands will be gray, the water can't be washed, it won't fall off without ten days and a half months, as long as you find the person with the gray on your hand, you can find the person who framed your sister-in-law." ”
As soon as the old doctor finished speaking, Ji Linyuan and Xue Hanyu suddenly felt a sigh in their hearts, and they were about to leave after the old doctor, but they were stopped by the old doctor.
"That, I heard that your sister-in-law's hand is very good, it's delicious......" The old doctor said and rubbed his hands, yesterday a day's work, he came to inquire about Bai Yu and their restaurant thoroughly, and sighed in his heart that he didn't come at the right time, but only came when someone had an accident, otherwise he would have been able to eat such a delicious meal.
Thinking that what they said was so delicious, the old doctor couldn't help but swallow his saliva and wanted to eat it.
Ji Linyuan is not stupid, he said this, where is there anything he doesn't understand, and hurriedly arched his hand from the old doctor: "Don't worry, old doctor, if my sister-in-law knows that it is the clues you provided to return her innocence, I will definitely thank you." ”
said that I did, and Xue Hanyu and the two went out.
Xue Ziyi had already come out with the silver, and naturally heard their words, and when she saw them leaving, she walked to the old doctor and sat down.
"Old man, what you said is true or false, can it really be used as evidence??" Xue Ziyi was a little unconvinced, the farmer who worked in the countryside, whose hands were either gray or black, what kind of evidence could this be.
Seeing that Xue Ziyi didn't believe it, the old doctor snorted coldly: "Don't you see it?
Xue Ziyi pursed her mouth when she heard this, and was about to say more, when she saw Widow Zhang walking out with ramen.
"What about them?"
Widow Zhang's words could be finished, and the hungry old doctor on the side took the ramen in Widow Zhang's hand without saying a word.
Ji Linyuan and Xue Hanyu went directly to the yamen to find Song An after learning that the hands of the poisoned person would be stained.
Song An was eating breakfast, thinking about Bai Yu, and now he didn't even know what kind of poison he was in, so he panicked, and someone came to report that Ji Linyuan and they were coming.
When Song An heard this, he immediately stood up: "Take them to the study." While talking, I didn't eat anymore and went straight to the study.
"What's the matter?" As soon as Ji Linyuan entered the door, Song An couldn't help but ask.
Inexplicably, Song An felt that Ji Linyuan was here now, otherwise, he only went back from the yamen yesterday, and he came again early this morning.
Ji Linyuan nodded when he heard this: "I don't know if Lord Song knows Huaigen?"
"Huaigen, isn't it already banned? Could it be this?" Song An's mind was tight, and Ji Linyuan reacted as soon as he mentioned it.
"Yes, the old doctor who came to the restaurant yesterday came up to me today and told me that the reaction of the diners should be to eat Huaigen, and Huaigen has a characteristic, that is, it cannot be washed clean after touching it, and the injury is gray. ”
Saying that, Ji Linyuan talked to Song An about Xia Chunzhi's reaction after walking in Baijia Village before, and Song An, who was still sitting, suddenly stood up from the chair with a bang after hearing Ji Linyuan's words.
