report!The empress is on the way to farm, the lucky star shines brightly

Chapter 56
When Li Chang Yuan returned to the house after taking a shower, Kapok had already fallen asleep.

He lay gently beside Kapok, and then he lay down, Kapok seemed to have sensed him, and suddenly the whole body crawled into his arms.It was the same last night, the whole person was glued to him.

He didn't like to be touched by people, and he didn't like to sleep in the same bed with others, but he didn't hate her sudden closeness. On the contrary, he especially enjoyed the feeling that she was relying on him. Some tortured himself.

Li Changyuan laughed, took her over, and tucked the quilt tightly around her back, the night after autumn was still quite cold.

With a wave of Li Changyuan's hand, the oil lamp went out, and he fell asleep with the girl in his arms tightly.

In the middle of the night, a black shadow rushed into the courtyard of Li's house. The man seemed to have stepped on a little earlier, and came to the outside of Kapok's house familiarly.He gently opened the door bolt of the house with a dagger, and the cat waist entered the house.

After a few breaths, there was a muffled groan in the room, which could hardly be heard.

On this side, since Cai Shumin solved the gnaw disaster with the help of kapok, he has had a good rest at home for two days. It is rare to have free time, so he accompanied the old lady Chen to wait for the flowers and weeds at home, which is quite enjoyable.

It's just that the fly in the ointment is that the old lady is always nagging in his ear about marrying a wife: "Mother doesn't ask you to marry a noble lady to go home, but only asks you to find someone as smart and capable as the kapok girl. Your mother doesn't care whether you are a farmer or a merchant."

Cai Shumin had a headache, but did the old lady think that a strange woman like kapok would be easy to find?
He also wants a good wife, but he has so many things to do all day long, how can he have time to think about it?

"Mother, shouldn't you worry about marrying your son? Why did this task fall on me?" Cai Shumin laughed, "I also think the same as you, as long as the girl is smart and capable, no matter what All births are done."

Chen smiled and wanted to hit Cai Shumin.

The two were talking, when Qiao'er came in and reported, "Master, the county magistrate Wang came to see you, saying that someone outside is seeking justice."

A quarter of an hour later, Cai Shumin came to the court wearing a blue official uniform and a black official hat.

Kneeling in the hall was a middle-aged man, and two women and children. The two women and children, one old and one young, looked like mother and daughter.

Seeing Cai Shumin coming, the old woman cried even louder: "My lord, you have to be the master of my son. My son was poisoned after taking the medicine from Huishan Medicine Hall. Now he really can't die with peace of mind. I beg your lord to do it for me." host."

The young woman also cried: "My lord, my husband just went to the medicine hall to prepare a tonic, but he didn't want to get sick. I beg your lord to make decisions for my husband."

It turned out that the middle-aged man was the shopkeeper Zheng who had discussed cooperation with Kapok before.

Shopkeeper Zheng cried and said: "My lord, Xiaomin was wronged. Xiaomin has opened a medicine hall for so many years, and this tonic prescription has been prescribed countless times, but no one has ever been poisoned by it. My lord has learned from it!"

"You're talking nonsense. My husband is obviously in good health, but he died immediately after taking your tonic. Isn't it because of what your medicine is?" Pointing at his nose and cursing, "Master Guan must make the decision for us. This shopkeeper Zheng is too vicious, and he is not afraid of retribution for making such a fuss!"

Cai Shumin held the gavel in his hand, hit him hard and said, "Be quiet!"

The woman shut her mouth in fright, only sobbing and weeping silently.

Cai County Magistrate asked the official: "Have you been tested for drugs? Have you been to the medicine hall?"

The official said: "My lord, it has been inspected. There is arsenic in the medicine dregs. I also went to the pharmacy to inspect and found traces of arsenic soaked in a batch of wolfberries."

Magistrate Cai asked shopkeeper Zheng again: "Do you have anything to say?"

Shopkeeper Zheng thought about it carefully: "My lord, how could this arsenic be in the wolfberry for no reason? We have no reason to harm that Sun Ercai."

Cai County Magistrate shouted: "If you lie in court, you will be punished, why not tell the truth!"

"My lord, the villain is really wronged. How could we put arsenic in the goji berry when we are so good at it?" Zheng shopkeeper said.

"Perhaps your medicine hall was designed on purpose because our family was in distress!" The young woman turned to Cai Shumin again, "My lord, my family used to be Kairenhe Medicine Hall, but unfortunately my father-in-law got distracted and did something bad. Their business at Huishan Medicine Hall is not as good as that of our Renhe Medicine Hall, so maybe they are jealous and plotted to frame us."

"You all closed the door and I made you do it? Isn't this because I have nothing to do and want to close the door?" Zheng shopkeeper retorted.

"Then maybe the person who sold you goji berry has an enmity with our family, otherwise, why would my husband die immediately after taking the medicine!" The young woman refused to give in and retorted loudly.

"Shopkeeper Zheng, where did you buy this goji berry?" Cai Shumin knocked on the gavel again, "Quickly tell me."

Shopkeeper Zheng prostrated himself on the ground: "My lord, I bought this goji berry from a girl named Mu Mian in Daluo Village."

"What?" Cai Shumin stood up abruptly, "Kapok?"

In Daluo Village, two official messengers appeared at the gate of Li's Courtyard where Kapok lived. The villagers are now accustomed to Kapok's dealings with the government, but they never thought that the official messengers came to summon Kapok.

"Ms. Kapok, my lord has called you to the yamen to discuss something."

That official was the official who came to Daluo Village to protect Gu Yueniang and the others, so they were very polite when they met Kapok.

One of them leaned into Mu Mian's ear and whispered, "The shopkeeper of Huishan Pharmacy was sued. We found out that there was arsenic in your goji berries. We can slow down and get on the road. The girl can think of a way."

"The two big brothers came just in time. A thief broke into our house last night, and I asked the big brother to escort me to the yamen, and let the adults help the little girl to interrogate the thief." Mu Mian politely handed over a purse, "The two big brothers have worked hard Yes, thank you two big brothers for your reminders, but we are leaving now, don't keep Master Cai waiting for too long."

Seeing that she was so polite, the official officer naturally became more amiable, and saw that Li Rong had already brought out a man who was tied into a bun.Without looking at it, he escorted the man to the town.

Mu Mian walked into the solemn courtroom with "Mirror Hanging High". In the courtroom, Cai Shumin was sitting upright, showing no sign of knowing Mu Mian. Naturally, Mu Mian knew that he was doing it for his own benefit.

Then, Kapok saw the two women standing in the courtroom, as well as shopkeeper Zheng.

Mu Mian and the young woman looked at each other with a cold light in their eyes: "I'm afraid this is the daughter-in-law of the shopkeeper Qian?"

When the young woman saw what Mu Mian said, her eyes, which were originally full of hatred, were suddenly filled with surprise, and she said uncertainly, "You, how do you know me?"
