Chapter 70 Make trouble
It turned out that the old man was a beggar on the street.After she left today, the old beggar has been watching outside their shop.Lin Cai saw that he was pitiful, so she gave him two of the meat buns that she hadn't eaten in the morning.Everyone can guess what happened next.After eating, he lay here and kept barking, and he has been barking for half an hour now.They wanted to send him to the hospital, but he refused and just kept screaming there.When more and more people crowded here, his cry became louder and louder.

"You mean, you gave him the meat buns we didn't finish eating this morning?" Meng Yuxuan looked at the old man in front of her with a smile and said, "Listening to what he said, I thought he ate the pastry from our shop." , it turned out that we didn't eat our cakes at all, but our breakfast."

"Cakes are what we need for our business, and we don't usually sell enough! I thought the meat buns were delicious, and I could still be very hungry, so I gave them to him. How could I have thought of helping a troublesome person?" Lin Cai felt guilty. He said calmly: "Sister, what should I do now? Report to the official?"

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. Did you forget that I know medical skills?" Meng Yuxuan pinched the old man's wrist and said with a smile, "Old man, you are poisoned. I'll help you treat it."

The old man withdrew his hand and shouted unhappily: "What kind of medical skills do you know as a woman? I don't believe it. I just got poisoned, and you want to kill yourself for money."

"Are you rich?" Meng Yuxuan looked at the old man with contempt. "Okay, old man, stop pretending. You didn't get hit at all..."

Meng Yuxuan grabbed her wrist again and took his pulse.She didn't finish her sentence, she looked at the old man in front of her in shock with her beautiful eyes.

The old man raised his head and looked at her in pain.His lips were starting to turn purple and his eyes were darkening.He said painfully, "I've said it all, I'm poisoned."

hiss!Everyone exclaimed.

Look at the old man's appearance, is he really poisoned?But it shouldn't be!How could Xierniang do such a stupid thing?Her business is so good, how could she harm herself?
Their first reaction was that someone secretly poisoned her pastry, trying to make her shop unable to open.

"Sister-in-law, my acupuncture kit." Meng Yuxuan said to Lin Cai.

Lin Caizao was frightened.After hearing Meng Yuxuan's words, she quickly responded, "Oh! I'll get it right away."

Lin Cai was about to run back when a fat girl suddenly ran over to hug her and rushed into the store carrying her.The fat girl is Lingying, and she said anxiously: "Where is the acupuncture package? I'll run faster, you give me the things, and I'll take them to Madam."

Lin Cai already knew how many people Meng Yuxuan had added this time, and one of them had a mother who was seriously ill. Just now, Meng Yuxuan went to pick up that woman.

These are the words of the servants who came just now.Therefore, when Lingying carried her like this, she was only startled at first, but after guessing her identity, she was no longer so nervous.

Lin Cai took out the acupuncture package and handed it to Lingying.As the name suggests, Lingying people run very fast and disappear in the blink of an eye.

"Madam, here you are." Lingying ran out of breath.

Meng Yuxuan took the acupuncture package and said, "Thank you. Help your mother in to rest! I'll take care of it here."

"I want to protect Madam. Mother can last a while." Lingying thought for a while, then shook her head and said.

"Maid help this aunt in to rest! Anyway, I can't help you here." Hui Ling, who had been standing at the door of the store, came over and said in a low voice.

"Then trouble this girl." Lingying said happily. "I remember you, your name is Wheeling."

Meng Yuxuan ignored what the two new girls said.She focused on getting the needle, observing the old man's reaction.

Huiling helped Wang into the house.Huiling's godmother, surnamed Zhang, handed Lin Cai and Lingying each a glass of water at this time.And the little boy kept looking at the old man.

After a few stitches, the old man's face gradually eased.He opened his eyes and said weakly, "Am I not dead yet?"

"If you want to die, don't die in front of my house. Who sent you here? Why did you slander us?" Meng Yuxuan said coldly.

The old man grinned and closed his eyes again.

Meng Yuxuan frowned and pricked him a few more times.This time, he opened his eyes quickly.

"I almost died after eating your food. I didn't slander you. It's because your food is poisonous." The old man said stiffly.

"Really? The meat bun my sister-in-law gave you is our breakfast. Only a fool would think that we would poison our own breakfast. Besides, you are a beggar with no money or power. Why do we poison you? Just In order to make everyone misunderstand us and add bad luck to ourselves? Do you think everyone else is a fool?"

Meng Yuxuan stood up and looked down at the old man lying on the ground.

"This old beggar is really nothing. Lin Cai pitied him, but he plotted against them." The neighbors next to him heard Lin Cai's words, how could they not understand?
It's just that it's useless for them to understand. If those customers who heard the news knew what happened, how would they dare to buy their pastries again?
Three people become tigers.People in the world don't understand the truth, and they hear that the wind is rain.Even if someone comes forward to explain, not many people will believe it, they will only think it is an excuse.

The old beggar just woke up, but his face was still very bad.

He said tremblingly: "Whatever you say. Anyway, I was poisoned by eating your food. Your food is poisonous."

"Old man, have you been threatened by someone? You are an old beggar, and Xierniang has no grudge against you, so what are you doing to slander her? Did someone tell you to do this?" The blacksmith shop owner said earnestly: " Just tell the truth! Don’t be afraid, we can ask the county magistrate to decide.”

"I was poisoned by her. I'm about to die." The old beggar sat up, patted his legs and wailed, "My life is miserable! I don't have enough food and clothing, and I'm going to be poisoned."

"This old beggar seems familiar!" A young man in the crowd asked, "Is he the grandfather of the girl who sang the song?"

The old beggar trembled, anxiety and panic flashed in his eyes.

He turned his position sideways, avoiding the eyes of the young man who was speaking.

Meng Yuxuan noticed his strangeness, looked at the young man who spoke, and said, "Do you know him?"

The young man didn't expect Meng Yuxuan to talk to them.He stammered and said: "He is the grandfather of the girl who sang a little song in Ronghua Restaurant. I saw him accompaniment to that girl a few days ago."

"Ronghua Restaurant? I remembered." Lin Cai exclaimed, "You went back to the village some time ago, and the owner of the Ronghua Restaurant sent someone to find you. They wanted to buy our pastry recipe. I remember you said, these The recipes are all ancestral, and if they can’t be sold, they refuse. Is it because of this matter that he holds a grudge in his heart?”

"Isn't this Ronghua restaurant too much? You are just doing small business, and it has not affected their business. How can you use this method to harm you?" Neighbors in the crowd said angrily.

"I don't know anything. I don't understand what you're talking about." The old beggar cried out in fear, "Please, just pretend you don't know anything! I want to save my granddaughter. She's still in the hands of that beast." Lia!"

"So that's what happened." Everyone suddenly realized.

"Xi'erniang, you can't just let them go like this. You should report to the officials!" The neighbors suggested with righteous indignation.

Meng Yuxuan looked at the trembling old beggar, nodded and said, "Everyone can testify for me. This matter really needs to be judged by the county magistrate."

"No! Madam, I was wrong. Please, don't report to the officials. Just pretend I never came!" The old beggar hugged her leg and cried pitifully.

"You didn't take the poison just now. I took the poison when I took your pulse. They gave you the poison?" Meng Yuxuan said, "Why didn't you listen to their arrangement?"

"I don't want to die. If I take the poison, I won't be able to live. Although they lied to me that they will give me the antidote, I'm not stupid. They definitely want me to die. If you die, you will be in trouble. I still want to live to take care of my granddaughter , how can you die? But just now when you said to take the pulse, I became anxious when I heard it, so I had to force myself to eat it." The old beggar cried.

"Xi Erniang, this old man is very pitiful." A woman sympathized with the old beggar's experience and wanted to intercede for him. "Or, let him go!"

"Auntie is very right. But he is the most powerful witness. His words are worth ten of ours. If he doesn't show up, the sewage on my body will not be easily washed off."

Meng Yuxuan was in a difficult situation.The old beggar held her leg tightly.She is a young woman being hugged by an old man like this, the picture is really ugly.

"What happened here?" A clear voice came from behind the crowd. "The imperial envoy is here, what do you look like making such a noise?"

"Master Imperial Envoy?" Everyone was shocked, and immediately stood aside, looking for the legendary Imperial Envoy.

Behind them, a sedan chair was parked, and many officials stood beside it.

The speaker did not wear official clothes.He walked back, opened the curtain of the sedan chair, and said to the people inside: "My lord, please."

A foot in a blue boot sticks out, and then a tall man in a blue robe steps out.The man wore the mask of a fox, and looked at everyone with a pair of indifferent eyes.

Huh?Everyone looked at the legendary imperial envoy suspiciously.

"Xi'erniang, isn't that your cousin?" The proprietress of the noodle restaurant next door, Mrs. Hu, tugged at her sleeve and said, "What's going on? Your cousin is an imperial envoy?"

Meng Yuxuan was as surprised as they were, but she didn't show it.

Shen Chenzhi...

What is he playing again?
At this time today, it should be another Shen Chenzhi who came out, right?
This Shen Chenzhi is very evil, it is not easy to control at all.

Also, he was actually an imperial envoy.

When I first saw his official seal, I guessed that he was an official.But, isn't the official seal with her?Can you take office without an official seal?

"What's going on here? What are you doing?" The man who spoke just now said: "If there is any grievance, the Imperial Envoy will make decisions for you."
