Chapter 188 The Truth Revealed
Chu Wanning chuckled lightly: "Brother, what am I asking you? Why are you looking at Shopkeeper Qiao? Could it be that everyone in County Magistrate Liu's residence obeys Shopkeeper Qiao's orders?"

Shopkeeper Qiao at the side shuddered involuntarily, and quickly put on a smiling face, "Shopkeeper Chu said this, what can I do to mobilize people from the county magistrate's house?"

"I have to ask Shopkeeper Qiao's own sister." Chu Wanning said abruptly.

These words directly made Shopkeeper Qiao change his face.

It has been two years since his own sister became the magistrate Liu's concubine. He has kept this matter under wraps from the beginning to the end. How did Chu Wanning know about it?
Some people asked curiously, "What does Shopkeeper Chu mean by this?"

Luoluo couldn't bear the shopkeeper Qiao's superficial behavior and his back, and shouted loudly: "You don't know, do you? The sister of the shopkeeper Qiao is the most favored concubine in Liu County Magistrate's backyard. Now tell me... Can the shopkeeper Qiao transfer her?" People from the magistrate's mansion?"

There was an uproar at the scene.

"No wonder Shopkeeper Qiao jumped out as soon as the Zhenwei Pavilion happened."

Chu Wanning looked at the shopkeeper Qiao indifferently, and said in a flat tone, "Thanks to your support these days, the Zhenwei Pavilion has offended others. Now the other party wants to pull the water on Your Excellency Zhenwei, framing it, and it's just because of profit."

A voice suddenly rang out from the crowd: "I finally understand, no wonder Shopkeeper Qiao danced happily. If the Zhenwei Pavilion falls, the delicious building next door will be reaping the benefits of a fisherman!"

The person who spoke was Lin Xiaoshun, and he deliberately lowered his voice, "Zhenwei Pavilion has never had any accidents since its opening, but now there is a sudden occurrence of food poisoning. The figure quickly disappeared into the crowd.

As soon as the words fell, the crowd became more and more restless.

"Zhenwei Pavilion is not really wronged, is it?"

"My family often eats at the Zhenwei Pavilion, but there has never been a single problem. Therefore, this accident may have been intentionally framed by someone else."

"I believe in Zhenwei Pavilion!"

"."

The corners of Chu Wanning's lips curled slightly, it's not just you, shopkeeper Qiao, who knows how to incite the people.

Shopkeeper Qiao's complexion changed, and he calmed down quickly, "Shopkeeper Chu is so eloquent, he said black into white, I admire it. It's just that the food in Zhenwei Pavilion eats people to death. Even Zhang Lizui can't wipe it off."

After a pause, he smiled sadly again, "Gao Hai's wife gave birth to a baby boy not long ago, and the mainstay is now dead. The Gao family is left with only elderly parents and a son who is waiting to be fed. You let the Gao family live like this." How are you doing?"

The firm thoughts of the people have been floating again.

"Who says it's true?"

The crowd made a way out spontaneously, and Chu Ding'an walked over with a middle-aged man in one hand. When Shopkeeper Qiao saw the man, his face turned pale instantly.

Chu Wanning's eyes moved slightly, and she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Ding'an threw him in front of everyone, and cupped his hands towards Chu Wanning: "I have lived up to the girl's entrustment, and I have caught him before he escaped from Huai County."

Chu Wanning nodded lightly, "It's hard work to settle down."

Chu Ding'an's eyes flickered slightly.

It is a blessing to be able to share the worries for the girl.

Someone among the people asked, "Master Chu, who is this man?"

"The identity of this person, I believe only Shopkeeper Qiao knows best." Chu Wanning's meaningful eyes fell on Shopkeeper Qiao.

Everyone looked at him one after another.

Shopkeeper Qiao's face was pale, and even his back was covered with a thin layer of cold sweat. The breeze blew by, and the cold sweat penetrated into the bone marrow. There was a biting chill, and he couldn't help shivering several times.

"Why is Shopkeeper Qiao dumb?" Chu Wanning's eyes were cold.

Shopkeeper Qiao moved his lips, and opened his mouth to deny: "I don't know him! Shopkeeper Chu, don't deliberately find someone to talk nonsense just to escape the charge."

Chu Wanning lowered her eyes and smiled lightly, "I haven't said anything yet, but shopkeeper Qiao couldn't wait to deny it. Wouldn't this make everyone more suspicious?"

Sure enough, everyone looked at Shopkeeper Qiao with surprise in their eyes.

Chu Ding'an said coldly, "Say it quickly." He said to the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground trembling.

The middle-aged man's limbs trembled, and he said tremblingly, "Young one, under the orders of shopkeeper Qiao, I persuaded Gao Hai to agree to frame Zhenwei Pavilion."

"Nonsense!" Shopkeeper Qiao quickly denied.

The man was aggrieved, and raised his head: "Shopkeeper Qiao, the little one was obviously ordered by you to send money to Gao Hai, so he agreed to frame the Zhenwei Pavilion as having a problem with the ingredients. Why don't you admit it?"

Shopkeeper Qiao's expression remained unchanged, "Then why do you think Gao Hai agreed to die? Don't forget that there are only elderly parents, his wife and children left in his family. If he dies, the Gao family will be over."

Indeed, if Gao Hai had no problem with his mind, he would naturally not agree to this matter.

The man froze for a moment.

He just collected the money and helped pass the message for the shopkeeper Qiao, and he didn't know the rest at all!

The shopkeeper Qiao was not very proud, but fortunately he had made two preparations at the time.

At this time, Ning Zhixue's maid, Yuanyuan, trotted over, walked quickly to Chu Wanning, knelt towards her and said, "I have seen Miss Chu, my daughter was confined by my wife in the mansion, and I specially ordered my servant to come here after hearing about this. Send things."

Shopkeeper Qiao's right eyelid kept twitching, and there was an inexplicable premonition in his heart.

Chu Wanning raised her eyebrows in doubt, "What?"

Yuanyuan took out a piece of paper and handed it to Chu Wanning, "Miss Chu should not know that this Gao Hai was originally a servant of the gatekeeper in the prefect's backyard. He fainted for no reason while on duty a while ago. Madam is kind-hearted and specially ordered the doctor to diagnose it for him. But I don't want to diagnose a result that will die soon."

"Gao Hai's heart was ashamed at the time. Madam knew that the Gao family's life was difficult, so she allocated a sum of money from her private house to him, and asked him to go back and settle down at home."

"I didn't expect Madam to feed the dog with all her heart, and this Gao Hai was instigated by others to frame Zhenwei Pavilion. It's really hateful!"

It turned out that after Gao Hai diagnosed his illness, he knew that his life would not be long, so he took the money and left the backyard of Ning Mansion.

Unexpectedly, I drank two glasses of wine outside a few days ago. At that time, Gao Hai's son was just born, and his parents were old. He was worried about how his family would spend after his death, so he made a slip of the tongue and revealed his situation Well, the shopkeeper Qiao was sitting next door at that time, and listened straight.

After Gao Hai left, he ordered someone to persuade Gao Hai to pretend to have a meal at the Zhenwei Pavilion, and then quietly took the poison, pretending that he was poisoned after eating the meal.

Gao Hai originally disagreed, but he couldn't resist the temptation of a large sum of money.

He thought that this money could raise his son and leave it for the Gao family, so he decisively agreed to take the risk.

The crowd suddenly realized.

Shopkeeper Qiao didn't expect that his all-in-one plan would be made public, his whole face turned pale and white, "Nonsense, I don't know Gao Hai at all, let alone this person." He pointed to the middle-aged man in front of him.

Chu Wanning pinched the "evidence" and sneered: "Facts speak louder than words. I have not only Gao Hai's diagnosis at the time, but also the testimony of Gao Hai's widow. She can prove that Gao Hai was raped by others." Suspecting, intentionally framed Zhenwei Pavilion."
