985, the woman whose child was robbed twenty-seven
People in the village don't want to get into lawsuits.
Lin Heman really just wanted Luo Hongyue to give him some money. He asked a doctor to cure his mother and forget about it.
But she refused to give it and insisted on reporting it to the official. Lin Heman wanted to back out, but his mother was so ill that she needed money for treatment. He didn't have much money, so the village could borrow it, but he had to pay it back!
His mother had become like this after eating a steamed bun for no reason. He really didn't want to bear this debt himself.
Seeing that he was hesitant and worried, he even asked someone to go to the entrance of the village to see if the doctor had arrived. It didn't seem like he was deliberately seeking trouble through blackmail. Chu Yunli was moved in his heart and said: "There is definitely no problem with what I sent. If you can be sure, you
Mother was really poisoned after eating something given by outsiders. I advise you to ask an adult to help you check it out."
Lin Heman looked embarrassed: "What if the master says that I blackmail you?"
Chu Yunli said seriously: "As long as you are not really blackmailing, there is no need to be afraid. What I think is that the thing in question was not sent by me. So who sent it? When did our village have such a bold person?
Poisonous people? If we don’t find out, who will dare to eat the steamed buns given out next year? Let alone next year, even if everyone has not finished eating them now, how dare you eat them? "
There is another one lying on the ground, his face is black and blue, and he looks very powerful at first glance. It is not certain whether he can be saved, and who would dare to eat him?
At this moment, some people were already clamoring to report to the police.
Someone encouraged him, and Lin Heman was no longer so scared.
The prefect was about to leave in the next few days. When it was really critical, I didn't expect that there would be another problem in Linjia Village. In a hurry, I simply brought someone here in person.
I heard that it was caused by poisoning, so I brought several famous doctors from the city with me. I planned to try the case in the village.
When the prefect arrived, the doctor was giving people poison.
The method of extracting the poison was simple and crude. Use a silver needle to force the poison onto the finger and then bleed. This made Chu Yunli take a second look and said immodestly that with just the method of extracting the poison, she was almost overtaken.
It can be seen that there are people outside, and one cannot be arrogant at any time.
Lin Heman's mother has not yet woken up after the toxins were forced out. In the doctor's words, she will wake up after two more attempts. It will take half a month to force out all the toxins, because blood is needed to remove the poison.
After being taken out and detoxified, the whole person's vitality will be severely damaged. It will take about a year to regain the previous healthy body.
In short, this was an unreasonable disaster. The Lin family suffered a huge loss.
Lin Heman learned that his mother's life was safe, and all his thoughts were focused on finding the murderer.
Only now did Chu Yunli give him sincere advice, and he no longer doubted her. The reason why he questioned her when he came was because everyone in the village knew that his mother wanted to lecture Luo Hongyue before, but she choked her back.
, the two had a very unpleasant quarrel.
Now that she had been ruled out, Lin Heman wanted to find the murderer, so he recalled it carefully.
"That pot of steamed buns was sent by six families in total." Lin Heman immediately pointed out the six families with his fingers.
Those who were named by him hurriedly came out to explain, and even swore to heaven that they had not poisoned. Some people immediately asked their children to go back and get it, intending to eat it in public to show their innocence.
Chu Yunli originally thought that the Lin family was involved again, but she didn't expect that they were not among the six households.
Although Lin Heman's mother is usually a bit preachy, she is also a warm-hearted person. She has helped many people in the village. How could such a person form a fatal grudge against others?
Because she had a good relationship with everyone in the village, no one dared to quarrel with her, so Chu Yunli had a few quarrels with her.
Now that something happened to her, let alone Lin Heman, anyone in the village who came forward would suspect that Chu Yunli was responsible.
Obviously, this matter was directed at Chu Yunli.
And the only ones who have such a big grudge against her are the Lin family. Besides, even if she has nothing to do with the Lin family, her two children are still descendants of the Lin family. If she dies or goes to jail in an accident, her house and
The money belongs to the two children, and these two children will definitely be taken back to the Lin family.
If you can't find out the truth about anything, you can get a glimpse of it just by looking at who benefits in the end.
There is a 90% chance that the Lin family did this on purpose. The remaining 10%... was an accident.
The prefect over there asked six families one by one who was responsible for everything from selecting the ingredients to making the buns and sending them out. The master next to him wrote quickly and quickly wrote down everyone's confessions.
It was already an hour after they had finished all the examinations. The magistrate frowned as he took the confession and read it from beginning to end. He found no doubts. There were already a lot of baskets piled beside it, all containing the steamed buns received today.
Chu Yunli stood aside and listened from beginning to end, but found no problem. The buns sent out by these six families were all made by themselves, and they did not pass through other people's hands.
She looked at the pile of bamboo baskets and walked over to look at them one by one. When she spotted a steamed bun in a basket, her heart moved and she reached out and picked it up: "Whose is this?"
A woman came out and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with my family? The one you got seems to have been given by Heliang's mother."
Lin Heman over there saw this and stepped forward: "I also have one like this at home. It's not as sharp, but it's about the same size."
For things like steamed buns, everyone has different techniques and the way they are made is different. The ones made by He's are a little bit thicker, like a steamed bun with a point. No matter how similar other people's buns are, there are still some slight differences.
Lin Heman ran to search for a long time in his basket at home, but he couldn't find it.
There was a woman in the six households next to him who hesitated and said: "I seem to have one of these. The ones made at home are all round. When I took them out to give away, suddenly a sharp one appeared. I was confused.
For a while. But I thought it was my mother-in-law who kneaded it like this because she ran out of dough, so I gave it to Aunt Lin without thinking too much..."
Hearing this, Chu Yunli saluted the magistrate and said, "I don't know, sir. The aunt who fainted had a dispute with me before. Many people thought that I was the poisoner. But I really didn't. Please
Your Excellency is aware of this."
The prefect frowned: "You used to be the wife of the Lin family, right?"
"Yes." Chu Yunli admitted frankly: "At that time, I said that my sister-in-law wanted to steal my child and take it to Wanfu, but I couldn't find any evidence. Our two families have become enemies. Today's incident is aimed at me.
In this village, the only one I have enmity with is their family. Now I can tell the tricks of my former mother-in-law just by looking at this bun. Please investigate."
She begged again, and what she said was reasonable and well-founded. The magistrate pondered deeply and ordered: "Is the Lin family here? If not, call all the members of their family over."
There was such a big commotion outside, and the rest of the Lin family watched from a distance. He did not show up from the beginning to the end. For a person who likes to watch the excitement, this is quite unusual.
Following the adults' instructions, the Lin family was quickly brought over, and most of them were confused.
He wanted to have an attack, but because the prefect was there, he could only suppress his anger.
Although they were afraid of getting involved in a lawsuit, they were actually not that afraid after they did get involved. The main reason was that they had done nothing and felt that they were open-minded and had no fear of being investigated by adults.
The Lin family's steamed buns are indeed made by He's family, and they are exactly the same as the ones Chu Yunli found just now.
The rest of the Lin family didn't know anything about it, and He also denied it.
The main reason is that the person who actually ate the steamed bun is still unconscious. Lin Heman is an honest man. He has seen the pointed steamed bun but is not sure.
Things have come to a standstill, and the prefect is having some difficulty.
Chu Yunli turned her eyes and looked at the villagers: "Does any of you know the last day my ex-mother-in-law went back to the town? Is anyone with her? Do you know where she went?
What did you buy?"
Hearing this, Mr. He was immediately dissatisfied: "It's none of your business!"
"Of course it's none of my business." Chu Yunli said with a serious face: "Now all the things we have done are blamed on me. The person behind the scenes who poisoned me either has a grudge against my aunt, or my aunt suffered from me.
Implicated, this is to pin the charge of poisoning on me. Of course I will help you find out the mastermind behind it."
There are so many people around here today. It is cold in the first month of the year and almost no one goes out to work. With such a big movement, everyone came here to watch the fun.
Chu Yunli raised his voice and said: "If you find any doubts, you can tell me. As long as it is useful in solving the case, I will give you a thank you gift. If you can directly identify the murderer, I will pay you two taels of silver."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
Two taels of silver is a lot!
For a time, many people hoped that they were the one who knew the truth. Amid the discussion, a middle-aged man stood up hesitantly: "The day before yesterday, my brother and sister took my ox cart to the town, saying they were going to buy some candies to make.
Momo. But when she came back, she was holding two paper packages, one in each hand. She had to free her hands when carrying things onto the oxcart. She also deliberately separated the two paper packages. At that time, I felt strange.
Most people wouldn’t buy two packs of candy, and even if they did, they wouldn’t be able to tell the difference so clearly.”
"Now that I think about it, could it be poison?"
This is just the coachman's own suspicion. It can be said that he only spoke because of the two taels of silver as a reward. Otherwise, he would not have said these words without seeing it with his own eyes.
Mr. He snorted coldly: "Can I buy them for my mother's family? They are mixed up together. How can I tell them apart?"
"But after you entered the door, you put down the two paper bags and immediately washed your hands. You washed them three times in a row."
The person who said this was Mrs. Li who was holding her belly.
She looked at the magistrate and said: "My mother-in-law took me with me to deliver steamed buns today. When I sent them to my fourth aunt's house, my mother-in-law gave me five. When I went out, I took advantage of them not paying attention and put in another one."
When their steamed buns came out, my mother-in-law explained to me that the fourth aunt had helped our family back then, so she should give one more. I didn't doubt it at the time, but now that I think about it, it should be the poisonous steamed bun. Four
My aunt didn't know, so she sent her directly to Brother Heman's home..."
In this way, everything is connected in series.
He said with a cold face: "Nonsense!"
Li Shi refused to give in: "I dare to swear to God." After saying this, she looked at Chu Yunli: "Hongyue, so many people are watching. You must keep your word."
Chu Yunli was happy: "Of course! Uncle, I'll give you one and a half."
It makes her happy to think about using the money given by He to trouble her.
