A small peasant girl

Chapter 491
Regarding the bizarre death of a pregnant woman in the market, it has become a poisonous thorn in the chest of the county lord, causing him to sleep unsteadily every day and night. He finally found some clues recently, but they were inexplicably broken.

Now the county master heard Wenzi's words, and became excited as if someone had given him a shot in the arm, "Girl Wenzi, is what you said true?"

"Grandpa Wen, no matter how naughty I am, I won't stay up late at night and come to the Yamen to make fun of you." Wenzi could see the excited expression on the county master's face, as if a schoolmaster was doing a tricky math problem. Few people experience the thrill and exhilaration of finding a formula that can solve a difficult problem.

"Master County, what Miss Wenzi said is very true. She must have found some clues and wants to inform the Yamen as soon as possible." The master who was woken up by the Yamen servant came smartly. After hearing Wenzi's words, he said with great insight, "I hope Miss Wenzi will tell you something for the sake of the people in the town."

"Master, you are so polite. I am also a blind cat who caught a dead mouse. I happened to meet it." Wenzi smiled politely at the master. I was pregnant, and there was a well-known midwife in the town named Pozi Tang, who gave my elder sister some pills, saying that she would be able to give birth to a son after taking them."

"Oh, there is such a thing." The county master looked at Wenzi thoughtfully, and continued to listen to her.

"The problem is that Mrs. Tang said that these pills have to be eaten together with sour oranges. I was just thinking about it and fed these two things together to the chickens at home. I didn't expect the chickens that ate these two things to eat. It didn't take long before he died foaming at the mouth. Look, it's this chicken." Wenzi repeated the matter very patiently.

Wenzi pointed to the dead chicken that Liu Kangtu had brought in, and he reminded his second brother, "Second brother, pick up the dead chicken and let the magistrate and master have a good look at it."

"Success." After Liu Kangtu finished speaking, he reached out and raised the dead chicken, and put it in front of the county master and master, so that they could take a closer look.

"Dead chicken?" The county master saw a dead native chicken, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: This is okay?

"Grandpa Wen, Mrs. Tang sold the pills in this bottle to my eldest sister for a tael of silver. You can smell the pills inside. Does it have a strong and fishy smell?" After opening the bottle of pills, hand it to the county lord, so that he can personally experience the 'secret recipe' for giving birth to a son.

"It has a very fishy smell, master, you should also smell it." The county master suggested that the master around him should also participate, but he still showed puzzled doubts, "Girl Wenzi, if this thing is poisonous, then why is it poisonous?" Pregnant women ate it and there was no sign of poisoning?"

"Grandpa Wen, this is the key point of your question." Wenzi put away the bottle and put it away again, and then explained: "Actually, this kind of pill will not be poisoned if people eat it, and it is also harmful to pregnant women and the baby in her body." There's no big downside."

"But didn't you just say that the pills were the reason for their death?" After hearing Wenzi's explanation, the county lord was at a loss and couldn't figure it out.

"Yes, Miss Wenzi, I'm a little confused when you say that." The shrewd master beside him was also a little confused, and could only look at Wenzi with a puzzled expression, hoping that Wenzi could give a reasonable explanation.

　As a new rookie, Yanhe's writing is still a bit naive, I hope everyone will forgive me, thank you.
