The farmer has a mall

Chapter 49

Gu Nanyan didn't take Ma Dazhuang's ox cart, and drove all the way to the yamen, and rang the grievance drum at the yamen's gate.

Su Wenfeng was quite surprised to see Gu Nanyan standing under the hall.

Isn't today the day when this girl's shop opens? Why did she come here?

Could it be that someone made trouble?

Thinking of King Sheng's entrustment, he hurriedly asked: "Who is in the hall, why are you beating the drum of injustice?"

Gu Nanyan narrated the incident, Su Wenfeng looked serious, and immediately ordered his subordinates to summon Widow Zhang.

Then he asked Gu Nanyan: "Do Miss Gu have any old grievances with Mrs. Zhang?"

Gu Nanyan nodded: "Some time ago, Zhang's son was being chased for debts. I bumped into him. He asked me to help him pay back the money. I didn't, and even beat him up."

Zhou Laoliu was also the one who climbed the wall of her house last time, but due to the reputation of Aunt Cui and the others, it is hard to tell about it.

Su Wenfeng asked suspiciously: "Why did he ask you to help him pay back the money? Are the two of you on good terms?"

Gu Nanyan shook her head: "The two families are not familiar with each other. He lied that I was his unmarried wife, and wanted the people in the gambling shop to demand debt from me."

Su Wenfeng was speechless, if this was the case, then Lao Liu would be too shameless this week.

His son was beaten, and Mrs. Zhang held a grudge, and wanted to poison Miss Gu to death, which is not unreasonable.

Su Wenfeng pondered for a moment, and asked the master to bring the poisonous snacks that Gu Nanyan brought up to him for inspection.

An hour later, Widow Zhang was brought in.

When she saw Gu Nanyan, her heart skipped a beat.

Forcibly suppressing the panic in her heart, Widow Zhang plopped and knelt on the ground according to what the man told her, crying with snot and tears.

"Master Qingtian, the women have been wronged."

"The women of the people have always been law-abiding, even if they have never killed a chicken, how can they poison two little babies."

She pointed at Gu Nanyan with an angry face.

"It must be this girl. The woman just said a few gossips about her, and she harbored a grudge and wanted to frame me. I ask Master Qingtian to be the master of the woman!"

Widow Zhang's face was covered with tears and snot, and she fumbled wildly with her sleeve.

Gu Nanyan hid away in disgust.

She asked with a half-smile, "How do you know that the two children were poisoned?"

Zhang's eyeballs rolled: "Of course I heard what the villagers said."

"But what I told everyone was that you poisoned my whole family, but I didn't tell others that it was the two children who were poisoned."

Mrs. Zhang froze, her lips trembled twice.

As soon as she got home, she was brought over by the official who was waiting at the door. She didn't talk to anyone at all, so she naturally didn't know what Gu Nanyan said.

"Well, that's because I went to look at your door secretly and heard what the people in the yard said."

"Although you hate auntie, we are in the same village anyway, and auntie cares about you."

She covered her face with her sleeves and wept, but her hands hidden in the sleeves trembled unconsciously.

Didn't that person say that the poison is colorless and tasteless, and the symptoms after poisoning are the same as those of a person who died of suffocation, so it won't be discovered by others?

Why did this damn girl come to report to the official so quickly, and you know she did it?

Seeing Widow Zhang's excellent performance in singing and writing, if it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Gu Nanyan would have wanted to applaud her.

"Are you sure it was the two children who were poisoned?"

Widow Zhang hesitated for a moment. She gave each of the two dolls a snack. According to the child's temperament, she would definitely not give up the delicious food.

So she nodded affirmatively.

"Yes, just two."

Before she went to Gu's house, she secretly tried it with a mouse, and the mouse died of convulsions as soon as it licked it.

Thinking of this, she added: "I also heard people in the courtyard say that the two children are throbbing all over, and they are about to die."

She pretended to be sympathetic and rubbed her tears: "Gu girl, go home and have a look, maybe you can see the last time, auntie doesn't blame you, just ask if you need auntie after you go back."

Gu Nanyan almost sneered, she used to think that Mrs. Zhang was just talking badly, but she didn't expect this guy to have a good mental quality, and he is not afraid of seeing the official, and he can even excuse himself.

She didn't say anything, just stood there expressionless.

Su Wenfeng heard what happened from her. Only one child was poisoned, and the other didn't eat the snack at all.

There was still something he didn't understand, so he slapped the gavel and asked his men to search Mrs. Zhang's home.

Widow Zhang was in a panic, didn't she explain everything clearly, why should she be investigated?
Her eyes fluttered around, and only then did she realize the seriousness of the matter.

She felt a little regretful, she would not have poisoned the two little bastards if she knew it earlier, if Gu Nanyan was poisoned to death together, how could there be such things?

She gave Gu Nanyan a vicious look, who happened to collide with her gaze.

At this time, Gu Nanyan looked at her as if he was looking at a dead person.

She reported to the police only to find out who was behind the scenes, and she would settle widow Zhang's account with her in private.

The officials of the county yamen were very efficient in their work, and after a while a small yamen servant came in with a bag of things.

"My lord, I found a packet of poison and some poisoned cakes in Mrs. Zhang's home. They have been handed over to Wu for inspection, and they are the same as the evidence provided by the plaintiff."

He glanced at Gu Nanyan without a word.

This girl is too tough, the house has been demolished to pieces, no one can get in at all.

Fortunately, these cakes and poison were not buried deep, otherwise I'm afraid I'd have to find them the next morning.

But it was also strange that the package of snacks was still intact when the house collapsed like that.

What he didn't know was that Gu Nanyan deliberately dug out these two packages when demolishing the house and put them in a conspicuous place.

Widow Zhang exclaimed: "Impossible!"

She clearly hid under the bricks, how could she be found!

She was no longer as calm as before, and a cold sweat broke out all over her body in an instant.

"You are wronged. The women are really wronged. It must be Gu Nanyan who deliberately harmed me. She has been to my house, and she put the poisoned snacks in."

The little yamen servant seemed not to have heard her, and continued: "The villain also went to the Wangji dim sum shop and brought back all the shop assistants and shopkeepers. Do you want to summon me?"

Seeing Widow Zhang's ugly face, Su Wenfeng was even more sure that this matter had nothing to do with her.

"Bring people up."

Wang Ji's little guy lowered his head, a little apprehensive.

As soon as he saw Zhang, he remembered her.

"This woman went early, we had just opened the door, and the stove hadn't been turned on yet, so she was in a hurry to buy some snacks. There were only a few yuan left from last night's sale in the store, and the shopkeeper asked her if she wanted any."

"She said that the leftovers are fine, so the shopkeeper asked me to wrap them up for her. Who knew that she took the dim sum but didn't want to pay for it. She insisted that our dim sum was for overnight, and it must be broken and can't be sold again. Let us send it to you." give her."

The boy looked at Widow Zhang with contempt.

He had never seen such a shameless one. It is true that they never sell overnight snacks in their store, but the ones in this winter can't be broken, and if they don't sell them, they can keep them for themselves.

If it weren't for the woman's anxious look, saying that her man was dying, she wanted to have a bite of his dim sum, and the shopkeeper wouldn't bring it out.

Seeing that her man was about to die, it was fine to give it to her, but this woman's upright look really made people uncomfortable.

Widow Zhang's face was as white as paper, and her whole body was shaking like chaff.

Su Wenfeng slapped the gavel: "There are all witnesses and evidence, Mr. Zhang, why don't you tell the truth!"

Under his rule, such a vicious woman appeared, how could it not make people angry.

Mrs. Zhang was powerless to refute, and slumped on the ground.

Su Wenfeng took her into custody temporarily, and the verdict could only be made after Li Zhao came to his senses and asked for a statement.

Before she was taken away, Gu Nanyan approached her ear and said coldly: "I know that someone else gave you the poison, as long as you confess that person, I will ask Su County Magistrate to give him a lighter sentence, at least you can keep the poison." Fate, you should think about it carefully."

After all, he walked away without giving her a chance to react.

Although Widow Zhang was scared at this time, she didn't take Gu Nanyan's words seriously.

The man said that as long as he did what he said, even if he was caught, he would have a way to rescue her, and he would give her 500 taels of silver.

At that time, she can move out of Shangshan Village with her son and live a good life.

Thinking of this piece of widow, she felt relieved and let the government officials take her into prison.

Let's say that after Gu Nanyan went back, she told Liu and the others what had happened.

Liu was very angry, "This person who suffered from the plague didn't realize that she has such a vicious mouth and a vicious heart!"

Gu Nanyan didn't say that someone was instigating behind the scenes, Liu only thought that Widow Zhang was taking revenge on her granddaughter for beating his son.

Aunt Cui knew that the origin of those poisons was not simple.

She knew that Gu Nanyan must have her own ideas, so she didn't interfere.

Gu Nanyan originally wanted to go to the yamen to meet Widow Zhang the next morning, to see if she could get something out of her.

Who knew that before he could go out, the little yamen servant ran over yesterday.

The little yamen servant wiped the sweat from his forehead, gasped and said:
"Ms. Zhang committed suicide by taking poison in prison last night!"
