The Empress Dowager

Chapter 389

Not long after, the two policemen came in with an old man, clasped their fists and said, "My lord, the shopkeeper of Huichuntang brought you here."

The magistrate gave a "hmm" and looked at the shopkeeper of Huichun Hall. The shopkeeper was terrified by the magistrate's eyes, and quickly saluted the magistrate: "Master Zhifu."

"Let me ask you, has anyone bought arsenic in Huichuntang in the past few days?" the prefect asked.

"At the end of the day before yesterday, a man in his 30s bought a pack of arsenic, saying it was poisonous to rats." Said the shopkeeper of Huichuntang.

"Do you remember what he looked like?"

The shopkeeper of Huichuntang nodded: "As long as he stands in front of me, I can recognize him."

"My lord, Qiangzi will bring you here." A few more policemen escorted a man in. The man was wearing a dark gray cotton coat, his face was full of stubble, his skin was dark, and he looked listless.

The shopkeeper of Huichuntang saw Qiangzi coming, and said quickly: "My lord, he is the one who bought arsenic in Huichuntang."

The magistrate narrowed his eyes: "You are the one who bought the arsenic in Huichuntang?"

Hearing this, Qiangzi quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "My lord, I bought the arsenic just to make the wine more mellow, but I didn't expect it to harm people! Your lord is very careful! I drank this wine too, and there was nothing wrong with it." what!"

The magistrate glanced at Qiangzi who was kneeling on the ground: "Since you have admitted that you planted the arsenic, the case has come to an end, and someone will take it away."

After the magistrate finished speaking, several police officers stepped forward to pull up Qiangzi who was kneeling on the ground, and escorted him away.

Before leaving, the magistrate glanced at the proprietress of the Wuyou Hall: "This matter has something to do with you, and you will be fined 50 taels of silver, and will be delivered to the house in a while."

"Yes, my lord." The proprietress frowned, replied, and watched the prefect walk out of the Wuyou Tavern.

After the magistrate left, everyone also dispersed.

"Miss, let's go!" Dongmei who was standing aside reminded her. What happened today scared her to death. Miss is really bold!However, Miss is really surprising that she will decide the case...

Nangong Yue gave a "hmm" and walked towards the door.

"Miss Nangong..." Seeing that Nangong Yue was leaving, Lin Wenlang hurriedly shouted.

Nangong Yue paused, looked at Lin Wenlang, and smiled slightly: "I really thank Mrs. Lin for what happened just now."

"You're welcome! I didn't expect Miss Nangong to have such a delicate and clear mind. I really admire you!" Lin Wenlang praised, paused, and then said, "Miss Nangong, I just wanted to discuss with you about the appointment of a wife."

"Okay, this way, everyone!" Nangong Yue led Lin Wenlang and his two companions into the tavern again.

"Miss..." Dongmei frowned when she saw Nangong Yue turned around and entered the Wuyou Tavern again. It was getting late and so many things had happened. The Ninth Prince must be worried if he knew about it!
But right now, Miss has entered the tavern with other men...

At this time, the tables and chairs were being arranged in the tavern. They were beaten by those people just now, and the tables and chairs were damaged a lot. Nangong Yue frowned. The seat by the window was still in good condition and was not affected at all.

Several people walked over and sat down on their seats.

"Miss Nangong, it's like this. Siyuan and Zhenghao are my former classmates. They are full of talents and learning but have nothing to do. That day, Miss Nangong, you told me about the appointment of a wife, and I thought of them. Miss Nangong, look……"
