Chapter 56: These Are Poisoned Wines
Lao Wu was stepped on the ground by Zhao Sili without making any move to resist.
If he had shown his skills just now, Zhao Sili would have tested his true identity, and everyone would be in a very serious situation.
Jiang Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. If this knife really hit Lao Wu, he would have no shame in meeting Wu Yue.
The luck was only temporary, and this kind of thing must not happen again in the future. This Zhao Sili's methods were cunning and ruthless, and even he did not expect to use this method to test Lao Wu.
It seems that the death of Wu Da and others in Hutou Mountain did not end this trouble, but instead attracted the more troublesome Zhao Sili, who will definitely become their biggest threat.
"Zhao Sili, in my opinion, we should take him back and torture him severely. No one can survive a full set of prison torture."
Jiang Chen secretly clenched his fists. If they really wanted to take Old Wu away, then he would have to stop him. With Old Wu's temperament, he would never harm anyone, so he would be determined to die.
Fight to the end with these people.
But this is not the outcome Jiang Chen wants to see, let alone the outcome Wu Yue can bear.
"No, he is just an honest butcher. Why should we be so aggressive? Let him live in peace. Maybe he really doesn't know anything."
Zhao Sili put his feet back and did not make any dangerous moves after that. Instead, he glanced at Lao Wu and walked away.
The last words he said were too deliberate, as if they were specifically meant to be heard by others. All in all, this man was very cunning and not an easy character to deal with.
Jiang Chen helped Lao Wu into the house. His body, which had been injured by Wu Da and others before, had new injuries today. This meant that Lao Wu was in good health, otherwise he would definitely not be able to withstand such a torment.
The two of them were sitting in the room, and Jiang Chen said: "Next time, please don't gamble with your life. How can I explain to Yue'er if you do this?"
Old Wu was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "This person named Zhao is not that simple. On the surface, he pretended to let me go, but in fact, he will definitely send someone to keep an eye on us secretly. Now we have to leave Shanguan Town."
It’s difficult.”
"Well, he is indeed a trouble, but no matter how difficult the problem is, feel free to leave it to me. I promise that everyone will get out of here smoothly."
The day was finally spent peacefully. After nightfall, Lin Rou lived in the house where Jiang Chen's parents had lived. She tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep. But when she thought of hiding here so that she wouldn't be forced to get married, she endured it.
.
The next day, trouble happened again that Jiang Chen didn't expect.
Wu Qingshan, Gu Jun and the others had been busy in the brewing yard. There had never been any accidents before, but this day they bumped into someone from the county government, saying that they wanted to seal the place completely.
After hearing the news, Jiang Chen hurried over. Although Lin Rou didn't know what happened, she followed him out of curiosity.
By the time the two arrived at the courtyard, people from the county government had already surrounded them, holding seals in their hands and preparing to completely seal off the courtyard. At the same time, among the people present were the county magistrate and Lin Yuanzhou, who had not been seen for some time.
.
As soon as Jiang Chen saw Lin Yuanzhou present, he almost understood what was going on.
He stepped forward and asked: "County Master, this is the place I rented for brewing. Is there anything wrong with it?"
"Oh, someone came to the county government to accuse you of brewing poisonous wine. This matter is very important. I personally came to check what happened. They have just verified it in a simple and clear way. The wine in your yard is indeed poisonous, so from now on
, this place needs to be sealed and disposed of.”
Jiang Chen frowned and asked again: "My lord, I wonder what method you used to prove that these medicinal wines are poisonous?"
Tang Yong pointed to a big yellow dog that fell to the ground and told Jiang Chen that they made the dog drink medicinal wine, and the dog died of poison on the spot.
From this point of view, it is a true fact that medicinal wine is poisonous, and there is no room for sophistry.
Wu Qingshan immediately denied it excitedly: "No, it's just a dog. How can he slander us so arbitrarily?"
"Perhaps the dog was originally ill and just happened to die after drinking the medicinal wine. This doesn't prove anything!"
The rest of Gu Jun and others also expressed their opposition to the county government's arrogant treatment, but no matter how they reacted, the matter seemed to be a done deal, at least a proud smile appeared on Lin Yuanzhou's face.
Needless to say, he was the one who complained about this matter to the county government.
I heard that there have been some changes in the Lin family recently. Lin Lidong, who had a fierce fight with Lin Yuanzhou before, seemed to have been defeated in the internal fight. This gave Lin Yuanzhou free time to cause trouble for Jiang Chen.
"Master County Master, what we brew is medicinal wine that nourishes the body, heals wounds and removes blood stasis. It is definitely not poisonous. Please be aware of it."
Jiang Chen tried hard to explain, but today the county magistrate seemed very difficult to talk to. His eyes would glance towards Lin Yuanzhou from time to time. It seemed that they had colluded with each other to stage this scene.
As for the motives of the county magistrate, it is actually easy to guess. He was simply bribed by Lin Yuanzhou at a high price.
After learning about the situation, Jiang Chen said to Wu Qingshan and Gu Jun behind him: "Don't stop it. Since the county government is going to seal this place, it makes sense. How can we resist?"
As he spoke, he took the lead and pushed away all those blocking the way, showing an absolutely cooperative attitude.
The county magistrate stroked his beard, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Well, that's right. Jiang Chen, I know you are a smart man who understands current affairs. As long as you cooperate well, there won't be too serious consequences."
"It's nothing more than sealing off this courtyard and destroying all the poisonous wine."
Hearing what the county magistrate said, Wu Qingshan and others had angry expressions on their faces. You must know that they had worked hard to brew these medicinal wines day and night.
Now if we say destroy it, then destroy it. Isn’t all their hard work and sweat in vain?
Jiang Chen knew in his heart that the initiative was not on his side today, so he could only tolerate it for the time being. There would always be a way to reverse the situation later.
Unexpectedly, just as the officials were preparing to affix the seal, a sonorous and powerful voice sounded in everyone's ears.
"Stop, who told you to do this? Are you looking for death?"
Lin Rou walked over like a meteor and stood directly in front of the county magistrate.
"You...which girl are you from? How dare you talk so shamelessly here? You are so uncultured!"
"The medicinal wine in the yard is decided by our family. No one can touch it, unless you want to have your fingers chopped off!"
