The Empress Dowager

Chapter 387

"Who's in charge here?" a policeman shouted.

"It's me, it's me." The proprietress hurriedly walked in front of the magistrate, "My lord, I don't know what happened to this man? He just died in my shop. I hope your lord will find out."

"Okay, I will naturally investigate this matter." The magistrate waved his hand, and said to the policemen beside him, "Take him to the Yamen for interrogation."

"Yes." The policeman stepped forward to arrest the proprietress.

"My lord, I was really wronged, it really has nothing to do with me!" the proprietress shouted.

"Master Zhifu..." Nangong Yue walked up to the prefect and said.

Seeing that it was Nangong Yue, the magistrate immediately put on a smile and said, "So it's Miss Nangong! Miss Nangong, there has been a murder case here, so please go back quickly! When I'm free, I'm going to visit Prince Jing's Mansion."

"Master Zhifu, I happened to eat a bowl of wontons in this tavern just now, and I happened to see that person drinking here..."

"Oh, it's terrible, Miss Nangong, are you okay? Do you want to go to a medical clinic?" The magistrate was shocked when he heard that Nangong Yue ate wontons in this tavern. If there are three longs and two shorts, Prince Jing will definitely not let him go, so he, the magistrate, will do his best.

Nangong Yue frowned. Did the prefect listen to her? She was talking about the poisoning incident. Where did the prefect get involved?

Nangong Yue waved her hand: "I'm fine, I've already hired someone to work, and I'll be here in a while, sir, don't be too busy arresting someone first."

"Yes." The magistrate responded, and gave the policeman who was guarding the proprietress with a wink. The policeman understood, and immediately released the proprietress.

Although the prefect was a little displeased, he didn't dare to speak out.

Not long after, Lin Wenlang walked in with Zuo Zuo.

The foreman was about 50 years old, carrying a toolbox, walked up to the magistrate, saluted, and then went to examine the male corpse.

Not long after, Wu Zuo finished the inspection, walked up to the magistrate, and said, "My lord, this man died of arsenic poisoning."

"Arsenic?" The magistrate looked at the proprietress, and then at the man's corpse on the ground. Could it be that the proprietress has something to do with this man?
"Master, may I ask if the deceased drank a lot of alcohol?" Nangong Yue asked.

That Wu Zuo glanced at Nangong Yue and said, "What the girl said is true. According to the little old man's guess, the man died of poisoning after drinking wine with arsenic in it."

Hearing this, the magistrate turned dark, pointed at the proprietress, and shouted to several arresters: "Come here, arrest her."

"Yes." Several arresters quickly walked up to the proprietress, and put the proprietress under arrest.

"My lord, I really didn't cause this person." The proprietress said hastily.

"The evidence is convincing and you said it wasn't your fault?" the magistrate snapped.

"My lord, what you see may not be true, let alone what would I do to harm him as a widow?" the proprietress cried.

"If you have anything to say, let's talk at the Yamen." The magistrate said sharply.

Everyone is pointing at the proprietress:

"Oh, I really didn't expect it. It turns out that the proprietress really did it."

"That's right, she must have something to do with others as a widow, so she poisons others like this."

"There are many right and wrong in front of the widow's door, but this time it's not just right and wrong, it's that simple!"

"I drank too much just now, could I have been poisoned too? No, I have to go to the medical clinic quickly." The man said, wanting to go out, but saw a few policemen standing at the door, so he didn't go out .
