After crossing over: kidnapping a female hunter to be the stepfather of the three cubs

Chapter 268 Knowing everything

"My Lord, I know where she got the poison! I know!"

The housekeeper hurriedly shouted that it was a good thing that he saw it that night, otherwise he would have nothing to say now.

"Tell me, my lord, where did this poison come from?"

"Sir, I came back from drinking that night and saw the light on in the lady's room. The master wasn't home at the time, so I listened in for a while. A man gave her a package, saying it was effective and impossible to diagnose. Then the man slipped away through the back door, and the master fell ill the next day!"

"Liu Er! Stop talking!" Zhou suddenly shouted like crazy.

In the eyes of others, she was desperate and unwilling to let others know the inside story.

Only Zhou knew that there was something bigger going on. If anyone knew who gave her the medicine, her family would be in jeopardy.

The only solution now is to accept everything...

"Sir! This is all my fault. I was blinded by greed! My husband wanted to make my sister his second wife, and I didn't want to, so I resorted to this desperate measure! I asked the doctor to get the poison. I came up with everything on my own. There was nothing male about it. Please don't listen to Liu Er's one-sided story!"

Seeing her expression change so quickly, County Magistrate Bu also realized that there might be other forces involved.

The art of being an official requires considerable knowledge.

This is not to say how high your knowledge level is in the exam. County Magistrate Bu was also an official in the capital.

He narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhou without saying a word.

This matter has nothing to do with Shuxiangju. If we force it, we can only say that the two protagonists went to Shuxiangju to have dinner.

Then why do you have to stay in Shuxiangju?

the reason is simple.

Someone wants to sabotage Shuxiangju.

I also heard that Zhenxiu Pavilion and Shuxiangju have a friendly relationship, so the only other restaurant left in the town is the only other one.

"Fragrant House"

Others may not know who owns Xiangmanlou.

He knew it.

The same person is behind the town’s largest flower market, Shengshi Flower Shop, and Xiangmanlou.

The 'Princess of Heyang' in the capital.

Princess Heyang is not someone to be trifled with. I heard that the Emperor, considering her family is full of loyal and brave people, specially ordered her to enter the palace and be raised by the Empress Dowager.

The Queen Mother liked her, so she spoiled her to the point of lawlessness.

Although she had no real power, she was recognized by the royal family as the "imperial merchant". It was said that in addition to Xiangmanlou and Shengshi, the princess also opened trading companies and some money houses.

There are also rumors that half of the annual profits of these shops would be given to the emperor's private treasury.

No wonder the emperor doted on her so much.

But logically speaking, Princess Heyang shouldn't have any thoughts about a small farmyard...

He really couldn't figure out the cause and effect of this.

Now that Zhou is willing to take on these things, it would be the best.

He was unwilling to offend the princess who was favored by the emperor for the sake of a peasant girl.

Knowing the interests involved makes it easier to judge...

Huanxi and Xu Qingzhao exchanged a glance. This county magistrate...seems he's going to have to deal with it...

At this time, Doctor Liu brought a bowl of black stuff from the back hall, bowed to Magistrate Bu and said:

"Sir, the antidote is ready. Should we feed it to the patient?"

County Magistrate Bu said nothing, stopped writing and nodded.

Two yamen runners helped Liu Song, who looked pale, to stand up, and then forced him to swallow the black drug.

After a while, Liu Song began to frown and then looked like he wanted to vomit...

Ou...yue...

Happy: Subway, Elderly, Cell Phone

It's so disgusting... this vomit... a pool of _?/{＄, m'lu? !}... something that is hard to describe.

Fortunately, the man's face looked normal after he vomited, and he opened his eyes with a dazed look.

"Where... where am I..." Liu Song said tremblingly.

How does this look like a court? Isn't he lying at home?

County Magistrate Bu slammed the gavel.

"Liu Song!"

Liu Song was frightened by this and his mind became clearer. He immediately said:

"I, Liu Song, pay my respects to the county magistrate."

"Do you know why you were poisoned?"

Liu Song was completely bewildered. When had he been poisoned? How come he didn't know?

"I don't know..."

"Did you know that your poison was administered by your own wife?"

After hearing this, Liu Song came to his senses completely. He also noticed Zhou who was crying and Liu Er who was lying on the ground after being beaten with a stick.

"I don't know."

County Magistrate Bu then asked, "Is this Liu Er your family's chief steward? What about the others?"

Liu Song shook his head and said:

"I don't recognize them. They are not servants of the Liu family."

This further confirmed County Magistrate Bu's guess.

It was the lawyer next to him who approached Liu Song and told him exactly what had happened.

Only then did he realize that he had been sleeping for five days.

The culprit turned out to be his own wife.

"Sanniang? Why are you like this? I've treated you well..." His tone was sad, as if he had experienced some great pain.

Only a few smart people present noticed that this was an obvious show.

Zhou looked up at Liu Song, her eyes were cold and without a trace of warmth. Two lines of tears fell, and she closed her eyes and rushed straight towards the stone pillar in the hall.

Before anyone could react, there was a loud bang and blood splattered everywhere. Zhou Sanniang was already dead.

"Sanniang! Sanniang~" Liu Song forced himself to stand up and rushed towards Zhou Sanniang's body with difficulty.

County Magistrate Bu felt very upset. Zhou would rather die than be involved in that matter. It seemed that it must be Princess Heyang.

He didn't know whether it was Princess Heyang's personal order or someone else's decision...

Now that the mastermind has committed suicide out of fear of punishment, there is no need to be lenient with the remaining people.

When Zhao Huanxi and her group came out of the county government office, Yunchuan found some pomelo leaves from somewhere, dipped them in water, and swept them over her body.

"What does this mean?" Huanxi wondered.

Yunchuan smiled and said, "Grapefruit leaves are used to ward off evil spirits and get rid of bad luck."

"Then you should pat them all, I'm not the only one who went in..."

As they were walking back, they ran into Chen Yunrui.

"Mr. Chen! Where are you going?" Huanxi shouted.

"Miss Zhao! Mr. Xu!" His eyes lit up when he saw the two of them, and he ran over.

"What happened? Why are you in such a hurry? Where are you going?" Huanxi asked.

Chen Yunrui wiped the sweat from his head and hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Something happened at the Treasure House... I wanted to discuss it with you, but then I heard that you, Shuxiangju, were also imprisoned, so I hurried over to help you. I'm a little late, though. What's going on?"

I had heard what happened in the yamen on the way. This was definitely done by the people in Xiangmanlou.

When their Zhenxiu Pavilion was first established, they suffered a lot of bullying from Xiangmanlou. It was only because of the good reputation of Zhenxiu Pavilion that they were not destroyed. Now those despicable means are being used on Shuxiangju.

"Mr. Chen, you haven't told me what happened in your Shuxiangju."

Chen Yunrui sighed and said worriedly:

"Several vegetable vendors would rather lose money than continue to cooperate with Zhenxiu Pavilion. It's going to be hard to find new ones... I'm so worried."

So that's what happened... Huanxi was thinking of a solution in her head...
