Chapter 66: The Vegetables Are Poisonous
"Ahem..."
Li Yu quickly coughed a few times, then changed the subject witfully: "Why did you appear here? Still dressed like this..."
"snort!"
Li Hongxiu snorted and put away the short sword, which made Li Yu secretly relieved. Li Changfeng was not by her side now, and he was really afraid that this girl could not help but come up and poke a hole in his body, and she was impulsive just now.
He pulled off the black cloth from his face and revealed Li Hongxiu's delicate little face.
Although my face was still a little unhappy at this time, I knew that things were the most important, so I said: "Uncle San and I took advantage of the inattention of the constables and came down from Liangshan and wanted to come here to find the magistrate here. But I didn't expect that before the magistrate was found, I saw someone poisoning him before I found him. So Uncle San and I followed behind the maids quietly, wanting to see who the poisoned person wanted to harm and what purpose he wanted, and then followed him here, and didn't expect to meet you here."
When I said this, I couldn't help but curl my lips.
Li Yu was shocked and pointed at the five dishes and one soup on the table: "Are you saying that some people poisoning these dishes?"
Li Hongxiu nodded affirmatively.
So Li Yu quickly turned around and wanted to push open the door and walked out.
Li Hongxiu flashed in front of him and stopped him: "What are you going to do?"
Li Yu said anxiously: "Someone poisoned me, and maybe someone poisoned me, so I have to go there quickly, otherwise it would be too late!"
Li Hongxiu curled his lips: "If it was really up to you, it would be too late to do this. Don't worry, my third uncle followed him. If he is there, nothing will happen."
Hearing this, Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Do you know who the poisoned person is?"
Li Hongxiu said: "It's the chef who makes these dishes."
What about the chef?
Or is there someone behind this cook driving him?
Li Yu is more inclined to the last one.
However, when he first came here, he had not had many people to come into contact with, and it was even less likely that he would have any enemies. Who would attack him?
The first figure that could not help but appear in Li Yu's mind was Yuan Qingzhen.
I wanted to go to Liangshan directly today, but I was stopped by him and kept me here for one night.
Ben said he would set up a table tonight to treat him well, but he walked away temporarily with an urgent matter and had to ask the maid to bring dinner to the room.
At first glance, I didn't think anything about all this, but after the poisoning incident, I had to think about the bad side, which was a coincidence.
When her eyes fell on Li Hongxiu again, she found that she had already sat in front of the table at some point, holding chopsticks and picking up a piece of chicken that was not big or small, putting it in her mouth, and ate it happily.
Then, Li Yu was stunned: "Why did you taste it? Didn't it mean it was poisonous?"
"I'm hungry, I didn't eat much today."
Li Hongxiu looked as if he was rightful, and then pointed to the big bowl of thick soup: "Only this bowl of soup was poisoned, and the other dishes were not poisoned."
Li Yu: "..."
Seeing Li Hongxiu eating with relish, Li Yu couldn't help swallowing his saliva, after all, he hadn't eaten this supper yet.
Sitting on the right side of Li Hongxiu, the little maid only brought a pair of chopsticks, and there were no extra chopsticks. Li Yu had to reach out and pick up a piece of chicken and throw it into his mouth. After biting it, he said, "What's the matter with you beating Yuan Yanzhi that makes him still unconscious until now?"
When Li Yu mentioned this, Li Hongxiu stopped his movements and put down the chopsticks in his hand, looking a little angry: "Hmph! I have never seen that Yuan Yan before. On the day when he was beaten, I stayed in Liangshan all the time. How could I beat him up!"
This was completely beyond Li Yu's expectations. He couldn't help but frown tightly: "Since that's the case, why did someone see you being teased by Yuan Yan on the street that day and beat him up? Could it be that someone was pretending to be you?"
Li Hongxiu nodded: "Uncle San said so too."
Li Yu pondered for a while and asked again: "What happened to the two dead constables?"
Li Hongxiu said: "On that day, the magistrate Yuan brought five constables to our Lijia Village angrily. At that time, the people from our Lijia Village were gathering together to discuss some matters. Faced with the sudden constable, they had no idea what happened. Just when they were about to say something, the magistrate Yuan directly ordered me to be arrested and did not give me a chance to speak. Uncle San and the second uncle accidentally pushed the two constables in desperation, but they never expected that the two constables would fall directly to the ground and then never stand up again!"
"It would be reasonable to say that Uncle Third accidentally failed to hold back his strength and killed the constable, but Uncle Second was exhausted and panting after taking two extra steps. He said that he could kill a constable with just one push. This is undoubtedly... God... That..."
"A fairy tale."
"Yes! A fantasy!"
"What's next?"
"Next, the magistrate Yuan hurriedly left our Lijia Village with the remaining three constables. He didn't even look at the two constables lying on the ground. On the next day, he brought more constables to our Lijia Village. Without saying a word, he directly pulled out his long sword to attack the people in our Lijia Village, as if he was going to kill us. Naturally, the people in our Lijia Village could not sit still and wait for death, because of the third uncle and me, they could force the constables out of our Lijia Village without hurting them."
"Seeing that there was no way to deal with our Lijia Village, the magistrate Yuan asked the constables to block the only entrance and exit of Liangshan, and did not allow the people from our Lijia Village to come down from Liangshan. During this period, we finally figured out why the magistrate Yuan led several constables to Liangshan that day."
"We wanted to have a good talk with the magistrate Yuan, but no matter what, the magistrate Yuan refused to see us. If the magistrate was blocking the intersection of Liangshan, it was not so easy for us to come out. It was not until today that we found an opportunity to bypass the gaze of the magistrates, and came down from Liangshan without knowing it and came here."
Looking at Li Hongxiu's night outfit, wrapping himself tightly, like an assassin's dress, Li Yu couldn't help but say, "Looking at your outfit, you come to find that County Magistrate Yuan, don't you want to kill him directly, right?"
Li Hongxiu curled his lips and said nothing.
Li Yu: "..."
Speaking about the same thing, there is a clear difference in the statements of Yuan Qingzhen and Li Hongxiu. There is no doubt that Li Yu believes in Li Hongxiu, so Yuan Qingzhen must be talking about panic.
Why did Yuan Qingzhen do this?
Even if his son was really seriously injured and unconscious by Li Hongxiu, he shouldn't have taken action without even giving others the chance to speak.
And... the sudden death of the two detectives was obviously a trick.
The whole thing looks like the rhythm of putting the people in Lijiazhai to death.
