Tian's little cook

Chapter 464 Someone else
Walking out of the alley, other people saw the shopkeeper and chef of Jukefang leaving with the officers and soldiers, and they all poked their heads out, talking a lot.

"I heard that Xiangmanlou used their marinade to make tofu curds that are poisonous."

"No way, we often eat, is it okay?"

Some people who like to watch the excitement simply follow behind, anyway, the government is not far from here.

Lin Zhimo has been here for more than half a year, and it is the first time he has entered the government.

Looking at the pair of stone lions at the door, Lin Zhimo suddenly felt nervous.

Feeling her dissatisfaction, Lin Jiao reached out and patted her on the back, signaling her not to be afraid.

Lin Zhimo turned to look at him and nodded slightly.

Although neither of them spoke, everything was in their eyes.

After entering the gate, the government did not take them to the main hall, but instead walked to the side yard.

Before he got close, Lin Zhimo heard painful groans coming from inside.

It turned out that the government office in Xiangmanlou was not too far away. After receiving a report, the magistrate Guo asked the officers and soldiers to move all the poisoned diners to the government office for the convenience of diagnosis and investigation.

At this time, more than a dozen diners who were poisoned were sitting in the yard, holding their stomachs and groaning, and two doctors beside them were feeling their pulse.

The county magistrate Guo stood beside a doctor, and an officer and soldier walked over and said, "My lord, someone brought it here."

County magistrate Guo followed the direction of his finger and saw Lin Jiao's eyes froze for a moment. He didn't expect that it was the young man who won the first place by guessing lantern riddles last time.

Lin Zhimo took the initiative to walk over, "Magistrate Guo, I'm Lin Zhimo, just now the official said that they were poisoned after eating fragrant bean curd."

"Exactly, the shopkeeper of Xiangmanlou said that he bought the marinade from you."

Lin Zhimo frowned, "Magistrate Guo, I didn't sell the brine to shopkeeper Zeng, there must be a misunderstanding."

Lin Jiao also said, "Magistrate Guo, if we can call shopkeeper Zeng to confront him, we will know why they were poisoned."

The two doctors have not yet found out the cause of the poisoning, Guo County Magistrate thought for a while, and agreed, "Bring Zeng Yongda."

"Yes." The officers and soldiers led away, and soon brought the ashen-faced Treasurer Zeng.

"Master County, please forgive me, this matter has nothing to do with me." Shopkeeper Zeng knelt down at the feet of County Magistrate Guo as soon as he arrived, his fat body trembling with fright, "These marinated pieces belong to Lin Zhimo, she ordered them poison."

Lin Jiao held back her anger, "Master Zeng, we've always sold marinade to you, why are you talking nonsense?"

"In all Yunze City, only Jukefang has marinade." Shopkeeper Zeng insisted, "You guys framed me."

"Where did your brine come from?" Lin Jiao grasped the crux of the problem.

Shopkeeper Zeng hesitated, and then Magistrate Guo shouted, "Say!"

Shopkeeper Zeng was taken aback, and immediately blurted out, "Li Liangcai and Lin Zhimo's cousins ​​sold it to me."

"Lin Zhen'er?" Lin Zhimo asked.

"Yes." Shopkeeper Zeng began to shirk his responsibility again, "Their brine is taken from you. Now that something happened, don't try to deny it."

The two immediately remembered that the brine block was stolen on the night of Qixi Festival. It turned out that it was stolen by Lin Zhener and Li Liangcai.

"Since it was sold to you by someone else, why didn't you say it at first?" County magistrate Guo was displeased.

Shopkeeper Zeng was frightened by his face and hurriedly explained, "I was in a hurry just now."

But in fact, he just saw the diners were poisoned after eating bean curd, and saw officers and soldiers coming to arrest him, thinking about dragging Lin Zhimo into the water as well.

"Come here, go and arrest Li Liangcai and Lin Zhen'er immediately," County Magistrate Guo ordered.

"Yes."
