Marry a rough man!I became the stepmother of the soft and cute dumpling

Chapter 56
The next thing was easy to handle. An Xiaoxiao asked and answered with the boy, and the boy told him everything he had done.

He first poured the medicine into the patient's bowl, causing the patient to vomit blood and faint, causing him to die.

"Miss An, I didn't intend to harm him." The little man said to himself, regardless of whether An Xiaoxiao believed it or not.

"There is one last question, who will give you the powder?"

"I grind it myself with the medicinal materials from the store." The little boy returned his dull eyes, looked at An Xiaoxiao, and paused for a while before speaking again.

"Grind it yourself? You are so good at grinding medicine by yourself, or I'll be your apprentice?" An Xiaoxiao smiled, she reached out and took out the handkerchief from the boy's arms, stood up and sneered: "Guess, you If you protect her like this now, will she protect you like this tomorrow?"

Silly x, love brain.An Xiaoxiao complained silently in her heart.

Seeing the handkerchief, the boy became visibly flustered. He struggled to get up and was about to grab it, but An Xiaoxiao kicked him on the shoulder mercilessly. The silver light flashed, and the boy fainted immediately.

"Tie him up and throw him in the woodshed, and take him to see the village chief tomorrow." An Xiaoxiao kicked him directly to Dawu's feet, and threw out a bundle of hemp rope.Da Wu raised his eyebrows, tied him tightly, and carried him on his shoulders.

"Shopkeeper An, be gentle, I have worked in your clinic for so long anyway." Da Wu teased.

Because of this, it is even more unforgivable.An Xiaoxiao looked stern and said nothing.

What the medical center taught was the way to cure diseases and save lives. He has been by his side for so long, yet he doesn't even have half a sympathy?

The county magistrate's sudden visit frightened everyone in the village, and the village chief urgently asked the whole village to gather at the village ancestral hall.An Xiaoxiao was unhurried, and when she let Han Er carry the little boy to the ancestral hall, everyone had already arrived in the ancestral hall. The county magistrate and the village head were sitting in high positions on the left and right, surrounded by villagers.

Seeing her and Sanhan carrying people in, everyone looked at them in unison. The county magistrate showed a slightly displeased expression and coughed a few times.Sanhan had never seen such a big scene before, and several people looked terrified, but An Xiaosan calmed down and directed Han Er to throw the boy in front of the county magistrate.

The young man knelt down below with his head down, without any intention of resisting, he explained the matter clearly.The ancestral hall was silent, and the village chief's expression was surprised and angry, and he even had a hint of regret. The county magistrate stroked his long beard, pondered for a moment, and said solemnly: "What you said is all the truth? Have you been coerced?"

Yo, who are you ordering?An Xiaoxiao stood by and rolled her eyes.

"There is no lie." The boy replied weakly.

"If that's the case, then we'll wait in the yamen, and we'll be promoted to the court for interrogation in the future." The county magistrate issued an order, and just as the yamen servants on both sides were about to come down to fetch people, An Xiaoxiao suddenly yelled out, wait a minute, and everyone's eyes instantly focused on her again. body.

"Why, you haven't come out yet, do you really want him to take the blame?" An Xiaoxiao folded her arms and looked at a person with burning eyes.

The villagers were all startled. They followed her gaze and looked back, focusing on Li Xiucai.

"No, Li Xiucai, give way." An Xiaoxiao coughed.

Li Xiuchang stood there silently, and everyone looked behind him again, and saw Li Chunhua with a pale complexion.

"Miss Chunhua, when I asked yesterday, he didn't say a word about you. Aren't you going to say something?" An Xiaoxia raised his eyebrows.

Li Chunhua's fingertips turned white and her eyes flickered. She hid behind Li Xiucai and forced a smile and said, "It's none of my business. What should I say? What a joke."

"Look, what did I say?" An Xiaoxiao sneered, knelt down, pinched the boy's chin and shook it lightly, and said with a smile: "Listen to my advice, women's words are the most untrustworthy."

The little boy looked away with a stagnant face, without saying a word.

"Miss Chunhua, where did you buy the bracelet on your hand? It's a rare item."

Before everyone could see clearly, they saw that An Xiaoxiao had moved to Li Chunhua's side. She grabbed Li Chunhua's wrist, raised it high, and said in amazement: "I've never seen such a fine jade bracelet in all the counties. , Miss Chunhua is so lucky."

Under the sunlight, the jade bracelet is crystal clear and reflects a warm luster. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that it is not an ordinary thing.Li Xiuchang was a poor scholar, how could he have spare money to buy such things, the villagers hissed and began to discuss.

"My dad bought it for me! Dad, talk to me!" Seeing that the expressions of the county magistrate and the village head were not right, Li Chunhua was completely panicked. She grabbed the corner of Li Xiucai's clothes and said anxiously.

"It was me, I bought it for her." Li Xiucai lowered his eyes and his voice became tense.

"Brother Li." An Xiaoxiao smiled. She approached Li Xiucai, and said meaningfully: "There are some truths that even my Ceer knows. You have studied sage books for more than ten years. Is it possible that you are not as good as a five-year-old child?"

Li Xiucai's body trembled violently, but he remained silent.

"My lord, let's get the treasure out and see who is lying." An Xiaoxiao pulled Li Chunhua to the lobby with all her strength, and said loudly to the Gaotai county magistrate.

Li Chunhua was ashamed and angry, she wanted to break away from An Xiaoxiao's palm, but was horrified to find that no matter how hard she tried, An Xiaoxiao was still firmly grasping her wrist, preventing her from escaping.

In a panic, she saw her eyes meet the boy who was kneeling on the ground, and saw that the other person's eyes were lifeless, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be mocking. Li Chunhua's heart tightened, and a layer of cold sweat covered her back.

The county magistrate and An Xiaoxiao looked at each other for a few seconds, then nodded slightly.The yamen servant standing on the left understood it, and took out a bowl covered with a red cloth, and it looked like it could be put down with two palms side by side.

"This is a treasure that I got by accident while traveling around the world. It's called the 'Basin for Identifying Lies'." After the county magistrate knocked on the table to signal everyone to be quiet, he began to explain: "The person to be appraised needs to put two people into the basin and count silently. Only after three counts can you take out your hand. If you are honest, your palm will be white, and if you are a liar, your hand will be black."

The yamen servant pressed Li Xiucai and Li Chunhua to the ground, and lined up with the young man, starting with Li Xiucai, let them stick into the basin one by one.

Li Xiu let out a long sigh, and put his hand in, and the two people behind him followed suit and followed suit.

"Palm up, stretch out your hands for the adults to check." After the three of them had stretched out their hands, the yamen servant took back the basin and knocked it on the ground with the scabbard. The three of them hesitated for a moment, then stretched out their hands.

Two black and one white, the only white is Li Chunhua's hand.

Everyone was in an uproar, and there were many discussions around. The village chief sighed, as if he couldn't bear it, and turned his head away.An Xiaoxiao laughed out loud.

Li Chunhua was flustered, and before she could figure it out, the county magistrate turned cold and called out, "Take Li Chunhua down!"

"Daddy! Help me!" Li Chunhua was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she wanted to hide behind Li Xiuchang. Li Xiucai also looked flustered, and was about to protect her behind her, when the yamen servant pulled them away and pushed Li Chunhua to the ground.
