Chapter 31 His Highness Changning(1/2)

Tang Ningning looked over at the man. The deceased was about thirty years old. He had no sharp injuries on his body. His face was dark purple and his lips were black. At first glance, he looked like he had been poisoned.

She didn't know much about medicine and couldn't tell the real cause of the man's death.

But if it was said that he was poisoned to death in her restaurant, she would never admit it.

"If it doesn't work out, just go see the official." After Tang Ningning finished speaking, she ordered everyone to go back to the store, closed the door, and went to the county government office alone.

"Mom, I'll go with you."

Gu Yan was so anxious that he almost cried.

Tang Ningning asked Dahua to take the man away. She looked at the big man and said, "Let's go."

A large group of people went to the county government office in large numbers, and everyone who watched the excitement also followed.

When they arrived at the Yamen, the big man started playing drums, and the entire entrance was crowded with people. It was so crowded that it alarmed everyone in the lobby.

Tang Ningning was tall, so she saw a police officer coming out of the yamen and took them inside.

After passing through a government office and passing through the second door, you will find the lobby.

At this time, the government officials on both sides of the hall were holding killing sticks and looking solemn. The big man cried and told the story again, and matched with the aunt's crying, the scene was very touching.

The onlookers also shouted that the store was a black shop and were so angry that they wanted to rush in and beat Tang Ningning.

He was stopped by the government officials.

Tang Ningning frowned and looked at the county magistrate in the hall. This man, whose surname is Mo, has been here for many years and has a deep foundation. As the saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Although he is only a small county magistrate, he can be regarded as a local emperor.

However, as far as she knew, the county magistrate was not a mediocre person.

A sound of alarm sounded. Although Mr. Mo was over fifty years old, his voice was loud and full of energy. He just listened, "Don't make any noise. I would like to ask you, when did you go to the spicy restaurant for dinner? What dish did you eat?"

,How long did it take to find out that the person was dead after returning?'

"Sir, I came here for lunch. I don't know what I ate. I went back and lay down on the kang and didn't get up. The doctor said I was poisoned by the food."

"Where are the people in the hall?" Master Mo asked loudly.

Tang Ningning kowtowed, "The common people are here."

"What do you have to say?"

"This person did have lunch in my store, but Cao Min's store would never do anything poisoning. I wonder what kind of poison this person was poisoned?"

Master Mo looked at the woman on the ground who was not afraid of danger, and shouted, "Wu Zuo."

After Master Mo gave the order, Wu Zuo stepped forward to inspect the body.

After a while, Wu Zuo stepped forward and said, "Sir, this person was indeed poisoned to death. It was curare."

"Even if someone is poisoned by curare wood, it cannot be proven that it was done by our store. Moreover, as far as the grassroots know, curare wood has extremely strong medicinal properties. If you eat it, you will die immediately. The deceased's home is not far away from our store. If you eat it, you will die immediately."

How can you still persist all the way home? Moreover, poison like curare wood is not sold in stores, so where does this poison come from? "

Tang Ningning spoke carefully and thought carefully. After listening to this, Lord Mo nodded.

"You're talking nonsense. It's obviously your family who poisoned people to death because my brother ate bugs in your store and you were afraid of affecting the store's business---"

Is there such a thing?

Tang Ningning was silent. She recognized the deceased at a glance. When he came to eat at noon, he kept making trouble, saying that he had eaten bugs. Tang Ningning refused to let him go. Tang Ningning had someone give him another portion of the meal, and he was free of charge.

After settling the bill, unexpectedly, the person died.

The bug was completely non-existent. He put it there himself to avoid causing trouble, thus confusing the matter. Now it seems that the person was looking for trouble from the very beginning.

"Is this possible?" Master Mo asked sharply.

Tang Ningning nodded.

When the big man heard this, he laughed arrogantly.

Master Mo couldn't stand his look and asked, 'Where do you live and how far is it from Beijie Lashan Building?'

"Green Alley."

"It's so far away that the deceased wouldn't be able to make it back home," Wuzuo added.

The big man said, "My brother has always been in strong health, so he couldn't bear to go home." After saying that, he looked at Mr. Mo in the hall and said, "Sir, I have a motive for committing the crime in Lashanlou, and I have money, so I can definitely get it.

This kind of poisonous weed can be punished."

"I have decided the case, so don't talk nonsense." Lord Mo looked at Tang Ningning coldly and said, "What else do you have to say?"

Tang Ningning looked directly at the big man, "How did you know that Curare is a herbal medicine?"

According to ordinary people, they would immediately think of this poison as a powder similar to arsenic. How would they know it is a herbal medicine?

The big man was anxious, 'I guessed it--'

"Are you sure this is your brother?" Tang Ningning was a little doubtful.

"How can it be false?"

While the two were talking, a white-faced scholar came in. Tang Ningning looked over and saw that it was Mo Xiuran. He didn't know what he said in front of the adults. Master Mo's face turned dark, and fear flashed in his eyes. He didn't even bother to settle the case.

I want to take the person into custody first.

Mo Xiuran didn't know what he said, so Master Mo said directly, "Please wait for a moment."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Mo Xiuran glanced at her and left.

This is the first time in Da'an Town that your Excellency has left the case before the trial was completed.

Suddenly, the only sound left in the entire hall was the aunt's sobs.

Logically speaking, one cannot be so arrogant after the death of a brother, without even a trace of sadness.

But the aunt was crying quite sadly.

Tang Ningning glanced at the deceased and frowned. The entire store was filled with people she was close to. After spending so long together, there shouldn't be anyone who would betray her. If someone was really bribed by the Gao family to frame the store, then ---.

Tang Ningning thought a lot and thought a lot, but she never expected that Master Mo would go out for a trip and when he came back, he would bring back all the physical evidence, which shocked everyone in the hall.

"Zhao Dalang, do you know your guilt?"

When he saw the man being brought up, the big man, Zhao Dalang, was frightened. He opened his eyes wide and looked at this scene in disbelief.

"For the benefit that Zhang Gui gave you, you killed your brother, framed Lashanlou, beat him up, and disturbed the court. You should be punished by death."

Zhang Gui knelt on the ground with a pale face, and looked at Tang Ningning in fear. Who was this woman? Why did someone from the capital come, causing the master to take her out to atone for her crime?

"The mansion will take care of your wife and children."

Thinking of what the master said, Zhang Gui was heartbroken and fell to the ground.

Zhao Dalang was also frightened. Looking at the poison found at home, he revealed everything.

The aunt never thought that her son, who was fond of gambling, would murder his own brother because of money. For a moment, he couldn't bear it anymore and fainted.

Tang Ningning was acquitted.

This scene happened so quickly that when she walked out of the government office, she was still a little stunned.

When she returned to the store, she saw everyone sitting in the lobby like wilted eggplants, and the atmosphere was solemn.

"Mom, you're back." Gu Yan saw Tang Ningning first and said in surprise.

Everyone also looked over.

"Great, is everything okay?"

"My lord, have you solved the case?"

Looking at everyone's expressions, Tang Ningning smiled and nodded, 'It's okay, not guilty.'

Everyone was happy. Tang Ningning glanced around the crowd and found that Qing?'s face looked a little ugly.

"Qing?, are you unhappy?" Tang Ningning's eyes looked unclear.

Qing? was startled and quickly shook his head, 'I'm just too surprised.'

"What are you surprised about?"

"It's nothing." Qing? said hesitantly.

Tang Ningning said nothing more because everyone was there.

"Is there any food left for that guest?"

After hearing this, Lin Rong stood up immediately, "As soon as it happened, we went to the back hall to look for it, and the residue was poured into the swill bucket." As he said that, Shi Chu brought the swill together.

It was a mess, everything was there, and it exuded a stench.

"These are all mixed together, can anything else be found out?" Sister-in-law Chunlan frowned.

Tang Ningning took one look at it and told Shi Chu to take it to the kitchen and cook it. She also said that there shouldn't be anyone around tonight, so everyone should go back and treat it as a holiday.

There was no intention of doing business anymore, and everyone left one after another.

Before leaving, Sister-in-law Wang whispered to her, "When I was cleaning at noon, I saw Qing? He came back from the backyard in a panic and didn't know what he was doing. Please be careful."
