Nongmen medical concubine: she is beautiful and sassy

Chapter 144 Interrogation, Confession

"What's the matter?" The shopkeeper asked Xiao Er. Seeing Lin Ming coming out with a person on his back, he couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "Young Master Lin, who are you?"

"My father suddenly felt sick while eating, so I took him to see the doctor."

As soon as these words came out, the shopkeeper's face changed, and he used a second child to follow.Then he asked the little Er who was holding the noodles, "What's going on?"

"The shopkeeper, I don't know either. Just now I went to deliver noodles to Young Master Lin, and when I saw him coming out with his father on his back, I asked. He said that there might be a problem with the food in our inn, and this will be guarded. The leftover food is not allowed to be collected."

"What, how could it be?" The shopkeeper's face changed slightly, and he asked again, "I ask you, who brought Mr. Lin's meals before?"

"It's me too." Xiao Er replied without thinking.He is specially responsible for delivering meals to those students, three meals a day.

"Did you take the food directly from the kitchen without passing through the hands of others?"

"Yes. The food is directly taken from the cook's hand and delivered to each person's room." After Xiao Er finished speaking, he suddenly thought of the cook's explanation to him, so he said directly, "By the way, today's cook When my mother gave me food, she specifically explained that I should not make a mistake, that is for Young Master Lin."

"What? Why didn't you say it earlier?" The shopkeeper immediately changed his face, turned and walked to the back kitchen.If there is really a problem with the food, he thinks it must be the cook.

Otherwise, alright, why did she specifically tell Xiao Er not to make a mistake with Mr. Lin's meal.

When the shopkeeper arrived in the back kitchen, the cook was still eating.Seeing the shopkeeper and Xiao Er come, except for the guilty cook, the other two cooks were just a little surprised.

They put down the bowls and chopsticks, stood up, and asked with a smile, "The shopkeeper, why are you here?"

The shopkeeper's face was cold and he asked Xiao Er, "Who was the one who told you just now?"

Xiao Er pointed at the guilty cook and said, "She told me, don't send it wrong, that share is for Young Master Lin."

Hearing this, the kitchen's face turned pale.She didn't expect the matter to be exposed so quickly, she knelt down directly on the ground and said, "The shopkeeper, I'll recruit, please don't dismiss me. I was blinded by lard, and I will never dare again."

The other two kitchen maids looked at this scene with a dazed expression, and some couldn't react.

The shopkeeper looked coldly at the cook who was kneeling in front of him and said, "Tell me, why did you do this, who ordered you?"

"I, I was forced. Before, a girl found me, claiming to be the person next to Miss Houfu, and gave me [-] taels of silver to put a package into Mr. Lin's meal. She Said that it was a tonic, and it was specially made for Young Master Lin to replenish his body. He also assured me that nothing would happen, so I agreed."

"The people around Miss Houfu?" The shopkeeper's face became more and more ugly.In the entire city, there was only one person who claimed to be Miss Houfu.

Could it be her?
"Yes, that's what she said." The cook nodded, she regretted it now.If she knew something would happen, she would never say anything.

Ten taels of silver looked like a lot, but if the shopkeeper got angry and fired her, it would be difficult for her to find these jobs in the future.

The shopkeeper glanced at the cook and said, "I'll check this matter out. However, don't come to work for the time being."
