Mrs. General, don't go

Chapter 43

Seeing the three of them, the old woman remembered, where is this and why is she here! "

Jiang Jiao raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

"Old man, don't be anxious. Things have already happened. No matter how anxious you are, grandpa will never come back. Now let's wait for the people in the yamen to find out the truth and see what's going on? But regardless of the result How, even if it has nothing to do with my shop, I will still bear part of the responsibility!"

"I don't believe you! I don't believe the people in the yamen either. They are all officials, so they will bully poor people like us!"

With the support of the children, the old man sat up slowly. , panting.

Jiang Jiao took a deep breath: "Then you don't believe me, you don't believe them, who do you believe? Tell me, I'll ask someone to find it for you!"

The old woman thought for a while: "I believe in the head of our village!"

"Then send someone to invite them!"

Fortunately, their village is not far from the city.

The guards rode horses and brought the village head back after about half an hour.

On the way, the guard had already told the village head what had happened.

So when the village chief came, he walked up to the old woman without any other nonsense, "Auntie, since you believe me, I promise to help you be a witness!"

"Okay, okay, thank you!"

"Then please come here!"

Wu Zuo and the clerks of the yamen came over and called the village head over to witness the whole process!

All the inquiries and investigations should be done.

Jiang Jiao asked the customers in the store to leave with the promised meal coupons and discount cards.

There are only a few related people left in the store!
"Mrs. Ning, can you come here?"

When Wu Zuo found the old man's stomach, he called Jiang Jiao over.

Jiang Jiao looked at the old man. Under the opened clothes, there was a hard, bulging stomach as big as a durian.

Surprised!
Go quickly.

Squat down, let the assistant lay the old man flat, and press down gently with your hands.

Tumor!

Even if the stomach wasn't cut open, Jiang Jiao could tell that the old man's stomach was a tumor just based on the feeling of his subordinates.

And the long time is not short.

"Do you know that your grandpa is sick?"

"Know"

"I don't know!" One of the boys interrupted the other boy, and even gave that boy a warning look!
"But even if he is sick, the yamen will ask the people in the village about it, and they will find out!"

"So what? My grandfather has this pimple, and it's been fine for so long. How could something happen? It must have happened because he ate something from your store!"

Jiang Jiao smiled: "I didn't say that your grandfather died of illness! But, it has nothing to do with the things in my store!"

The root of the old man's fingernails turned black, and when he opened his lips, the gums inside also turned black. This was poisoned to death!

Under Jiang Jiao's command, Wu Zuo carefully checked the old man's clothes and the money bag around his waist.

Finally, some brown powder was seen on the edge of the old man's sleeve.

Wu Zuo wrapped the powder in paper.

"let me see!"

Wu Zuo handed over the paper bag!
Jiang Jiao carefully opened the paper bag, held it up, carefully checked the texture of the powder, put it in front of her nose, and sniffed it.

He looked down at the old man's death.

I probably have a number in my heart.

"This is a powder made from dried Tengwu grass. It is highly poisonous! Although Tengwu grass is highly poisonous, people who are poisoned will not die ugly! After that, the nail roots and gums will turn black!"

"Also, this Tengwu grass is not common in the market!"

When Jiang Jiao said this, everyone present looked at her in a fog.

He smiled faintly: "It's impossible for ordinary people to have such a thing, so it's even more impossible for the old man to get it by himself.

The rest is up to you to check! "

The people from the yamen took the old man, his family, and the two people who had dinner with the village chief to the yamen.

Jiang Jiao didn't need to go, but after thinking about it, she went with her.

Before leaving, I asked the shopkeeper to take the remaining ingredients in the store to the door and distribute them for free.

Anyway, if you keep it, it will rot!

I'm sure I'm not in the mood for business today!
With the expert's identification, the people watching the bustle at the door suddenly saw a long table set up at the door of the store, distributing fresh ingredients, and immediately rushed forward, and quickly looted the ingredients that were brought out!

After another half-day delay in the Yamen.

After asking the old woman and the three children if they had any objections to the Yamen's conclusion.

Considering the hot weather, the yamen agreed with the old woman, and under the guarantee of the village head, drag the old man back to be buried first!

And promise to find out the truth as soon as possible and give their family justice!
The old woman discussed with several children in a low voice for a while, and one of the children stepped forward and pressed the fingerprint to express their agreement.

Jiang Jiao learned from the village chief that the old woman's son died young and her daughter-in-law remarried for many years.

There are only three grandchildren and the elderly in the family. Over the years, with the two elderly, getting weaker and sicker, life is becoming more and more difficult every day!
I can't help feeling pity!
Ask the village chief to persuade the old women to take the old man back first!
She went with him to the coffin shop to buy a coffin for the old man!

When the village head heard this, he naturally agreed, otherwise, relying on the old woman's family background, I'm afraid it would be a straw mat!
Unless the villagers help chip in!
When the old woman heard that Jiang Jiao was going to buy a coffin for her old man, she felt less uncomfortable!
I'm even happy for his old man, he doesn't have to leave wrapped in a straw mat.

The old woman told the older boy to stay with the village chief and go buy a coffin!
She took the other two children and the body of the old man back to the village under the escort of the yamen servants.

Jiang Jiao, who didn't know much about the things needed for funerals, acted as a cash machine throughout the process.

Originally, I only said to buy a coffin, but later I saw the incense and candle shop next door.

I just realized that there are so many to buy!

"Buy them all!"

After speaking, the village chief and the boy were not seen making any moves.

Jiang Jiao repeated again: "I bought them all! The shopkeeper, take out everything that is good!"

The coffin Jiang Jiao bought just now was the best one in the store, and now he must buy good ones.

Hearing what Jiang Jiao said, the boy thumped and knelt down in front of Jiang Jiao. Before Jiang Jiao could escape, he kowtowed several times.

"Thank you ma'am, thank you for allowing my grandpa to leave in style! Thank you! Tie Dan will definitely repay you in the future!"

Jiang Jiao, who stepped aside, pulled up the boy who was almost as tall as her shoulders with both hands.

"No, no, after buying these things, go back and take care of your grandfather's funeral. We will talk about other things after the results of the yamen come out!"

Jiang Jiao said, and asked Honghua to take out a silver ingot of 20 taels and a silver ingot of [-] taels to the village chief!
"You take this village chief back. The big one is for their family's funeral, and the small one is Xie Yi! I'll trouble the village chief for everything!"

Holding the silver ingot, the village chief, whose palms were burning, never dreamed that he went to the city without doing anything, and got ten taels of silver that his family could only earn in half a year.

The excited voice reassured Jiang Jiao and left it to him!

"thanks, thanks!"

Tie Dan on the side also thanked him gratefully.

He has grown so big, he has never seen what silver looks like!
The two of them, with a hot heart, took an ox cart full of funeral supplies, followed the ox cart pulling the coffin, and left with the village chief.
