peasant young lady

Chapter 231 Ricin

Zheng Guan smiled, "They deserved what they deserved, and the punishment they deserve will naturally not be less."

Hearing Zheng Guan's words, Cheng Xia reached out and pulled out a few pieces of paper from his cuff, and handed them to Zheng Guan respectfully, "Mr. County, I know that we must pay attention to evidence when arresting people, otherwise it would be biased to convict rashly. This is Cuihua and this group of gamblers have done outrageous things, one after another, and they are all recorded in detail. The lives they committed are simply innumerable. This is just what happened in the past two years. Also, at that time, I will trouble the magistrate to check it himself."

After Lin Xiu's death, she squatted near the casino for two full days, only to find that Brother Wang's group had disappeared. Although she felt disappointed, she did not sit still.

She asked many people in Songwa Village carefully, wishing she could go door to door, just to find out what outrageous things these gamblers have done.I don’t know if I don’t ask, but after I asked, I found out that this brother Wang relied on his cousin as the magistrate of the county, so killing people and arson is nothing to worry about, let alone robbing women, he is just like a bully exist.

The people around were afraid that he would run into him, even if something happened, they would only lose their teeth and swallow their blood, thinking they were unlucky.

There is no way, with Zhao Dezhong as the dog official queen, who dares to say more.sue?Not to mention whether ordinary people have the courage, let's see if you can get out of Chong'an County alive.

At that time, Cheng Xia understood and kept it in her heart, while hating her teeth itching. She had long thought of killing these people, but she didn't really do it until now.

Zheng Guan looked at the papers in detail, and his face turned livid. He slapped the gambling table next to him, "Zhao Dezhong is still instigating and covering up. It's a heinous crime. I won't let him go."

Cheng Xia quickly nodded and said yes.

Zheng Guan carefully folded a few pieces of paper and put them on his chest. Seeing Cheng Xia nodding his head like a rattle, he immediately smiled, "This word is so powerful that it penetrates the back of the paper. I'm afraid you're not a girl who can write it. right?"

Cheng Xia grinned, wanting to look down on someone, if it wasn't for the county magistrate not being able to understand simplified characters, she wouldn't need Yang Dalang to write for her.

Just as he was thinking to himself, he heard Cuihua's hoarse cry from outside the secret room, "Cheng Xia, you bitch, I won't let you go!"

Cheng Xia sneered and followed Zheng Guan out of the secret room.Seeing Cuihua baring her teeth and claws, wanting to tear her to pieces, Cheng Xia raised her hand and pinched her jaw tightly, forcing her to look directly at herself, "Aren't you going to let me go? Let's talk about it the day you come out. "

Cheng Xia couldn't stop patting Cuihua's face that became more ferocious, "Looking at you like this, are you going to eat me? Didn't you expect this day when you designed me? I warn you, this is not Things that belong to you, it’s best not to worry about them, it’s easy to burn yourself into it.”

Cheng Xia shook off her distorted face, listening to Brother Wang's begging for mercy and the cries of other gamblers, she suddenly felt that the sullenness that had been suppressing her heart was swept away, and finally, she put these people Lin Xiu was brought to justice and avenged.

No one can hurt her Xiaolong with this heretical skill anymore, and don't even try to get a penny of money from her. She has never been bullied by others, it's just that she doesn't report that the time has not come.

Zheng Guan asked the Yacha to take all these people away. Seeing that everyone had left, Zheng Guan suddenly looked back at Cheng Xia, "I heard that this woman has a son who is nearly one year old, but?"

It is said that?Cheng Xia smiled, probably the yamen who were close to Cuihua heard the cries of the children inside at the door of the dilapidated house.

Cheng Xia nodded, "Not bad."

"Then, how will the child be placed?"

Cheng Xia smiled lightly at Zheng Guan, "Is the magistrate asking me for a solution?"

There were many nursing homes in the Ming Dynasty. Compared with having a mother like Cuihua, it is better for the child to be with anyone.

Zheng Guan coughed lightly in embarrassment, yes, does he still need to ask a little girl what to do as a magistrate? Zheng Guan walked out, and said casually, "If there is such a thing in the future, please notify me at any time. .”

"Decree!" Cheng Xia happily gave a modern military salute.

Zheng Guan was taken aback, then smiled, this girl is quite interesting.

Zheng Guan and Cheng Xia chatted while walking, and when they left the courtyard, they were stunned when they saw the crowded crowd outside.

Some of the people who had been persecuted went to kick Brother Wang's group out of righteous indignation, and some of them turned to Zheng Guanshan who had just left the house. Bear such a name.

Amidst the cheers of the common people, the yamen escorted the group of gamblers to the place where the carriages were parked in Qingxian Village. behind.

When they arrived at Yang's house, the two yamen servants followed the instructions and brought Yang Erlang to the yard. Upon hearing the movement, Mrs. Chen ran out quickly. Seeing that Erlang had returned, she knelt down in front of Zheng Guan and wept bitterly to thank him. He didn't even look at Cheng Xia, just pretending that she didn't exist.

Cheng Xia didn't bother to talk to her, passed by the dilapidated house, and saw Lietou Yang standing at the door of the dilapidated house, looking at the bound Cuihua, holding a crying child in his hands, Cheng Xia sneered, this is the role of the panxia. Really conscientious.

Zheng Guan entered the courtyard of the dilapidated house, and when he saw Headhunter Yang, he became suspicious again. He pointed to the crying child, "Is this child yours?"

If the child still has a father, then he doesn't have to send the child to a nursing home.

"No, that, uh, no, me," headhunter Yang said incoherently, and Cuihua, who had gone far away, turned around and shouted, "Boss, are you here to save me? Hurry up and save me!" I."

Lieutenant Yang's eyes immediately dodged, and Cuihua became even more anxious. Seeing the servants rudely pushing herself into the carriage, she quickly said, "Master, take good care of the child first, and then rescue me, Mr. Ma."

Zheng Guan hurried back to Chong'an County, seeing Headhunter Yang's hesitation, he became a little impatient, "Is the child yours?"

"No, it's not," Yang Lietou suddenly pushed the child into Zheng Guan's arms, retreated hastily to the door and closed it.

Zheng watched Headhunter Yang's reaction, and looked at Cheng Xia puzzled, "Who is this kid?"

"Cuihua and that brother Wang's." Cheng Xia said flatly.

Zheng Guan nodded, "Okay, I see." After speaking, he carried the child and walked to the carriage beside him, finally waved his hand to Cheng Xia, and the carriage drove away.

Cheng Xia looked up at the blue sky, the so-called crisp autumn really made people feel much better.

After noon, Cheng Xia returned to the bamboo house first, but Yang Dalang hadn't come back yet, thinking that Cheng You might not be easy to find, so she decided to go to Cheng's house and wait for the shopkeeper to see Zhang's doctor, so as to continue to ask Dahua what happened What happened.

As a result, when they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw Xiao Wu driving in front of them, so Cheng Xia jumped into the carriage and followed them to Cheng's house.

Seeing shopkeeper Shang coming, Dahua hurriedly invited him in, but shopkeeper Shang stared at Dahua for a while, saw her thin cheeks and sallow face, shook his head, and entered the room.

Cheng Xia watched Gu Shi and Xiu'e poking their heads in the next room, and closed the door with a cold snort.

Shang Liangzhong took Zhang's pulse carefully, and then opened Zhang's eyelids to have a look, read and asked, and went through all the steps that should be done. It took a lot of time, and asked Zhang again. After a few days of specific symptoms, I finally made up my mind, and then looked at Cheng Xia.

"In addition to being overstimulated, she is also slightly poisoned."

"What?" Cheng Xia's brows were tightly frowned, and there was disbelief written between her brows and eyes, "How could you be poisoned?" Cheng Xia shifted his gaze to Dahua, "Sister-in-law, what's going on, mother?"

"I, I don't know," Dahua waved her hands again and again, "How could mother be poisoned? I have been taking care of mother these days, and no one else has had much contact with mother."

"Sister-in-law, calm down." Cheng Xia held Dahua's hand and continued to ask the shopkeeper, "Can you find out what the poison is? How long has it been?"

Shang Liangzhong turned around and carefully observed Zhang's complexion, and then said leisurely, "Her current symptoms should be after taking castor beans."

castor bean?Cheng Xia's brain was spinning rapidly, and she suddenly thought of it, castor bean is indeed capable of poisoning people, and it is also one of the most poisonous plants in the world.

Usually, people only remember that castor can extract oil, and because castor oil has high viscosity and low freezing point, it is resistant to severe cold and high temperature, which is more unique than other oils. However, castor beans can easily kill people.

Children aged four to seven can be poisoned or killed by taking only two grains of castor beans, while for adults, twenty grains is the limit.Castor beans contain ricin and ricinine, both of which can cause poisoning in humans.

In fact, castor is planted everywhere, because it is very adaptable and can survive in almost any soil, which leads to it being everywhere, but few people know its toxicity. .

Cheng Xia's expression froze suddenly, "Shopkeeper, what are the symptoms of taking castor beans? Just like what my sister-in-law said just now, diarrhea and high fever, what else?"

Shang Liangzhong sighed, "The castor bean is poisonous with heat. The diarrhea and high fever are external. The main thing is that it will damage the kidneys and stomach. Once the damage is done, it is almost irreparable. This is the most poisonous thing." The place."

Cheng Xia panicked, "Then my mother can still be saved?"

"Listen to me first." Shang Liangzhong knew that Cheng Xia was in a state of anxiety, so he just nodded slightly to reassure her, "This kind of castor bean poisoning will have a period of incubation period, and the early symptoms are not obvious. Your mother hasn't arrived yet. At the point of saving medicine, as long as you take care of it with your heart, you can still recover."

Cheng Xia's face brightened, it's okay, it's okay, but, "My sister-in-law is taking care of it during this time, it's unlikely that my mother will come into contact with castor beans."

"This," Shang Liangzhong thought for a moment, "Grind castor beans into foam, then mix it with water and take it, the toxicity is the same. Your mother's poison is not serious, and the dose is not very large."

"What happens if the poison is deep?" Dahua asked anxiously.

"How?" Shang Liangzhong sighed, "If you really hurt your kidneys and stomach, you will start to foam at the mouth. At that time, you will basically be exhausted."

Foaming at the mouth?Cheng Xia suddenly felt cold and stiff and couldn't move. She suddenly thought of Grandpa Lizheng who was foaming at the mouth.
