Spatial Peasant Girl: These Mad Darlings Are Delicate and Gullible

However, just as he was waiting for another trial, he heard someone beating drums outside the hall. A cook with a scarred face came from Tianxiang Tower. The cook knelt down as soon as he appeared in the court: "It's a villain. It's a villain who gave this to me for his own benefit." Second Master Ning poisoned me. It was a villain who was good at making suggestions. He wanted to trick me into getting the secret recipe and then give it to the shopkeeper so that he could promote me to be the chef."

Magistrate Shen took down the gavel and said: "Absurd! Human life is at stake, how can we tolerate it?"

The cook took out another packet of medicinal powder that was said to be leftover from his use.

After checking by the yamen servant, it was indeed the scarred man who cooked the food in the kitchen today, but the poison could not be verified, because just now when the yamen servant was bringing back the poisoned food, he encountered a group of beggars who appeared out of nowhere and took all the food. It was knocked over and trampled to pieces, not to mention it was a poison test, even the original food could not be seen.

Shopkeeper Lei sighed and said to the cook in a very disapproving tone: "You disappoint me so much."

What he said was of course ironic. He was very satisfied with the cook's performance.

Tianxiang Tower maintains many servants who are like the scar-faced man who are desperate and at his mercy. These people have no relatives, and their wealth and life are in Lei Wanjun's hands. Not to mention asking them to come out and admit their guilt and eliminate the disaster. Even if they were told to die, these cowards wouldn't dare to say anything.

At this time, shopkeeper Lei slowly presented the letter written to him by "Ning Fengcai": "To be honest, Lei actually received this. I invited him to a meal today just to decline."

The handwriting on the letter was crooked and full of typos. After checking, the master confirmed that it was the handwriting of Second Uncle Ning. This result shocked Second Uncle Ning, who had just been brought back from the hospital, and suddenly changed from weak to energetic: "He lied! It was clearly his name." I was asked to come!" But he had no evidence.

Shopkeeper Lei asked with a half-smile: "Suppose someone really passed this on to Brother Ning, why was your first reaction not to tell your eldest brother, but to come to the appointment? It can be seen that you did give your eldest brother's secret recipe to Lei In this case, if I really want to covet the secret recipe, I can just ask Brother Ning to go back and bring it to me. Why go to the trouble of poisoning it?" Uncle Ning was speechless when asked.

At this moment, Shopkeeper Lei glanced at the confessed cook, who immediately trembled and admitted that he was the one who sent the message in order to trick people into poisoning him.

Lei Wanjun looked at the county magistrate in the hall again: "Your Excellency, now that the matter has come to light, can Lei go?"

The witnesses and physical evidence were there, and the details were correct. Even the prisoner confessed. Even though Magistrate Shen thought there was something fishy, ​​he had to let the others leave after taking the cook into custody.

…

On the way back, the boy couldn't help but sigh: "This is an evil thing."

Shopkeeper Lei looked gloomy: "Is this County Magistrate Shen's wife surnamed Li, from the Li family in Jiangnan?"

The boy said yes, and shopkeeper Lei said solemnly: "Wuxiangju is the property of the Li family. It seems they can't bear it anymore."

The Li family's shops are all over the world, and Wuxiangju is one of them. In recent years, my cousin has been strongly supporting the Lei family and the Li family in competing for the imperial merchant qualifications. I thought that the Li family could see the situation clearly, but it turned out that they were dormant, waiting here for him. Looking for trouble? I just don't know if Ning Feng is being treated as a pawn, or if he has secretly taken refuge with the Li family.

The more shopkeeper Lei thought about it, the more reasonable he felt that his suspicions were reasonable. He immediately ordered the servant to pay attention to the movements of the Ning family and the county magistrate. After paying attention, he discovered that during the holiday two days later, magistrate Shen went to the Ning family's main room in Fuyuan Village. .

"Fortunately, my shopkeeper reacted quickly. If Shen Congyun is sent to prison, I might be charged with something."
