Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 319 Be honest with me!
The air pressure in Baili Junyi's body was extremely cold, and his eyes were full of wind and snow. He could tolerate the Zhou family's power, and he could also tolerate officials taking power.These disaster victims are already homeless, and their last way of life must not be cut off!

He walked to Shen Ninghua's side, and glanced coldly at the people in Zhoucheng opposite:

"My concubine's medical skills are so good that even the director of the imperial hospital is very impressed. She said that the water is poisonous, and the water will definitely not be clean. If anyone doesn't believe it, then come and drink some experiments in person. If you don't dare to come, then Don't make a fuss by the side, otherwise, this king will think that you are thieves shouting "Stop the thief!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Ninghua, who had been paying attention to the crowd, noticed with sharp eyes that some of them shrank their bodies and lowered their heads obviously out of guilt.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, she turned her head and asked Qingque to bring the medicine box over, gave the child who had a high fever and comatose a needle to lock in the poison, and then fed the antidote pills.Fortunately, the toxicity was not too strong, and it didn't take long for a slightly older child to wake up.

Seeing this scene, there was some commotion in the crowd, and it was easy to wake up like this. It was obviously not a symptom of the plague. It would be great if the plague could be so easy.

At this time, Baili Junyi said in a strong tone: "Who took the lead to drive the victims out?"

People look at me and I look at you, and they can't help but shake their heads. They only care about the excitement in their hearts, and they have long forgotten who took the lead.

By this time, some people had realized that they were being used by others, and their faces could not help but be ashamed.

Seeing the parents crying with joy while hugging the sober child, Shen Ninghua said: "Take the child back, be careful these few days, don't touch the unclean well water again, it will be fine after a few days of recuperation."

"Yes, thank you, princess, thank you, princess." Several people were grateful for Dade's departure, and the rest of the people were also thinking about whether to leave.

Baili Junyi curled his lips with a cold face, and told the guards behind him: "Enclose this place, and no one is allowed to leave until today's matter is investigated clearly!"

The crowd panicked:

"Don't leave..."

"How can this be, why are we surrounded?"

"Yeah, we're going back!"

Baili Junyi glanced coldly: "If you don't find out the real culprit, you won't be afraid of being poisoned again when you go back. It's okay if the toxicity is not strong this time, but what about arsenic|shuang or crane top red next time?"

The victims stood aside and knelt down when they heard Baili Junyi's words: "I beg the Lord to be the master for us."

"Although we are homeless and almost starved to death, we have never stolen or robbed. Even if Zhou Cheng rejected us earlier, we have no resentment at all. Why should we hate us?"

"Yeah, we obeyed the arrangement and recuperated honestly. We just wanted to get well soon and then leave, so as not to cause trouble for Zhou Cheng. Why did we frame us with empty words?"

"Not only that, but many people were injured!"

"We want an explanation, we must have an explanation!"

The victims are emotional, they have been forced to the brink of the outbreak, when their lives are threatened, once they are provoked, the consequences will be disastrous.

Baili Junyi used his internal strength, and his voice was extremely loud: "This king said that he will investigate the matter clearly, then he will definitely investigate it, and be honest with this king, otherwise, no matter you are victims of disasters or ordinary people, give me everything Get out of Zhoucheng!"

The aura around him was so strong that everyone present suddenly fell silent, subconsciously avoiding his sharpness.

Baili Junyi had a cold expression on his face: "The well water in many people's homes was poisoned at the same time. It is impossible that there is no leak. Now I start to think, whoever can think of doubts will say that if the clues provided by anyone are correct, gold Take the hundred taels away on the spot, and if anyone fishes in troubled waters and let me know, then today I will invite out Shang Fang’s sword, cut it first and then play it, so as to make a warning to others!”

The scene was extremely quiet, and no one spoke. Shen Ninghua's eyes were deep: "If you don't say anything, then I will come to find you, Qing Que, and catch the man in the blue shirt over there!"

When Qingque heard the words, she jumped forward and brought the man over.The people around were stunned. This slender woman named Qingque was able to lift a man who was taller and stronger than herself with one hand. This is... a master!
The man who was caught had panicked eyes, and glanced at the crowd on the right from time to time, Shen Ninghua looked at his hand: "How did your hand get hurt?"

The man's tone trembled: "Slave... ah, Cao Min... Cao Min accidentally scratched it."

"Where was it scratched?"

"It was... I was accidentally scratched by a knife while cutting vegetables!"

Shen Ninghua smiled coldly, and snorted: "Injured by the blade...Hmph, come here, drag him down for twenty sticks, and see if he tells the truth!"

"Why did you hit me, princess, why did you hit me?"

The people on the side looked dumbfounded. Could it be that this is a trick of torture?
Shen Ninghua glanced coldly, took their expressions into his eyes, and sneered: "You think I'm going to torture you?"

No one made a sound at the scene, but there was an affirmative meaning on their faces.

"Heh, so many of you, who hasn't used a knife on weekdays? The wounds cut by the knife will be as uneven as that person? Besides, there are moss around his wound! The moss is clearly the edge of the well. Only have it!"

After saying this, the common people were stunned and rushed to look at the man's hands.

"Yeah, it's really not a knife wound!"

"Yes, there is indeed moss left beside it."

"I really didn't expect that it was him who poisoned us. Is he going to poison us all?"

"Kill him, kill him!"

People on both sides found an outlet to vent their anger, and shouted loudly. The man was so frightened that his whole body collapsed on the ground, and he almost passed out.

Baili Junyi: "Come here, according to what the princess said, beat me hard!"

"Don't, don't hit me, I said, I said!" The man was frightened, fearing that he would be beaten to death, he shouted loudly, "Someone gave me 20 taels of silver and asked me to pour the powder into the neighbor's house." In the well water, it only said that it would cause people to have diarrhea, but did not say that it would cause death."

"My lord, my concubine, what Caomin said is the truth, really!"

Baili Junyi stepped forward, and the momentum around him pressed hard on him, and asked sharply, "Who gave you the money?"

The man was almost pressed to the ground by this momentum, and he didn't dare to hide anything, he quickly shouted: "I don't know, the grass people don't know, that person has been covering his face all the time, really, the grass people don't know, really don't know."

Seeing the man's expression, Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua looked at each other. Judging from the man's expression, he really didn't know.

Zhou Da gasped at the side, and was relieved after hearing this: "My lord, my concubine, this person doesn't seem to be lying, should I settle down the victims first, it's getting late, and many people It’s also injured, it’s not good if it gets worse.”

The suspects on the side of the disaster victims were washed away, and they calmed down a lot at this time, and many people showed tiredness on their faces.

Baili Junyi narrowed his eyes slightly: "Take this person down for a proper interrogation."

Zhou Da panicked, and subconsciously blocked him: "My lord, there is no need to bother you about this matter, just let the officials interrogate you, and I will definitely ask you clearly."

Baili Junyi's voice was flat: "Master Zhou has to resettle the victims, and he is very busy these days, so I just come here by myself."

"This... This is the job of a subordinate official, no matter how busy you are, you must do it well."

Just at this time, Zhou Ziqing rushed over: "Caomin has seen the prince, the concubine, and Lord Zhou."

Seeing him coming, Zhou Da, who was covered in sweat, was finally relieved.

Baili Junyi's eyes were flat: "Patriarch Zhou is here, it seems that you must be paying attention to this place all the time, otherwise how could you come here in such a timely manner?"

Zhou Ziqing had a smile on his face, and his attitude was extraordinarily respectful: "Reporting to the lord, the incident was too noisy. I heard that the porridge tent that the Zhou family helped to build was knocked down. I originally wanted to take advantage of the night to come and rebuild it. I didn’t want to delay tomorrow’s affairs, I didn’t expect to catch up with this time.”

Baili Junyi smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes at all: "Patriarch Zhou is really considerate."

Zhou Ziqing looked at the detained poisoner on the ground, and asked in a puzzled tone: "What's wrong with this person, but he was injured just now?" As he spoke, he took two steps forward and happened to stand on the side of the person. In sight.

The man on the ground trembled, a look of despair flashed in his eyes, and then he lowered his head.

Shen Ninghua felt something was wrong, and shouted suddenly: "Qingque!"

Qingque understood and immediately stepped forward to check the man's condition:
"Master, he bit his tongue and committed suicide."

Shen Ninghua's pupils shrank suddenly, and it took a while for them to return to normal.

Zhou Ziqing took two steps back slightly, with puzzlement and shock on his face: "Caomin just asked, why did he..."

Zhou Da on the side finally put his heart in his stomach: "Patriarch Zhou, this person poisoned the people's well water. I think he felt ashamed. He knew that he could face the people of Zhou City without words, so he committed suicide in fear of crime."

"It turned out to be like this, it's really daring, but did the people suffer because of it?"

Zhou Da shook his head: "Not at all, I would like to thank Princess Yi, if it wasn't for her, I can't say what the consequences would be."

Zhou Ziqing bowed deeply to Shen Ninghua: "There are many people in Zhoucheng who belong to the same family as the Zhou family, and Zhou expressed his gratitude to the princess on behalf of the Zhou family."

Shen Ninghua said lightly: "Patriarch Zhou doesn't have to do this, it's just a matter of raising your hands. Although the real culprit behind the scenes has not been found yet, the matter is probably clear. The victims who entered the city did not spread the plague. The people of Zhou City can rest assured that now It's all gone."

The smile on Zhou Ziqing's face was sincere: "The prince and the princess have worked hard all day, now go back and rest quickly, Zhou will ask the servants to help build the soup kitchen, and tomorrow's work will definitely not be delayed."

Baili Junyi held Shen Ninghua's hand: "Okay, since that's the case, I'll trouble Patriarch Zhou, Mr. Zhou, please deal with this person's funeral and settle the injured victims."

"Yes, please rest assured, my lord and princess."
