Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 90
Longfu Street is not far from the county government office, and not long after, general officials arrived in mighty numbers.

Without the guards yelling, the crowd of onlookers will automatically back out of the way.

"What's going on? What's going on?" A black-faced man with a fierce look asked loudly.

Aunt Li tried to calm down and narrated what had happened.

At this time, a man in his thirties with a burnt-yellow skin made a conclusion: "That means this old man fainted after eating something from your house?"

Aunt Li hurriedly defended: "I didn't say that, he passed out when he came to the stall, as for the reason, I don't know if he doesn't wake up."

The yellow-faced man glanced at his companion, and waved his hand imposingly: "Take him away."

The rest of the guards came forward to fight Aunt Li.

Li Zhu rushed to pour water into the old man's mouth, and shouted loudly: "Wait a minute, the old man is awake."

"Ah? Wake up?"

The crowd stirred again, craned their necks and looked in.

Li Zhu gritted his teeth and added a few drops of Lingquan.The old man must wake up before she can find out the truth of the matter.

But the yellow-faced man seemed impatient to wait, and reprimanded Li Zhu in a vicious voice: "Little girl is talking nonsense, why did this person wake up? Take him away together!"

Aunt Li staggered in fright.She is pungent, but she has never seen such a thing before.

Li Zhu looked at the yellow-faced guard without fear, and said loudly: "Master, even if the county magistrate judges the case, the prisoner will have a chance to defend himself. Now the situation is unclear and the old man is still awake, but the officer is only anxious to arrest me and my eldest aunt." , what is the reason?"

A flash of surprise flashed across the face of the yellow-faced officer, then he looked Li Zhu from head to toe, and said with a frivolous smile: "This yellow-haired girl has a sharp mouth. Are you not afraid of me?" After finishing speaking, his face sank, and he shouted: "The official handles the case, and you can put your beak on it. What are you doing in a daze, take it away quickly."

At this time, Zhou and Zhu Chunshan sang together and said, "Why do these two people have a guilty conscience when they argue?"

Li Zhu didn't have the time to confront these two people at the moment, so she turned to the guard with a fierce face, she could tell that these two were the leaders of the gang of government servants.

"Brother Guancha, I didn't say no, I just asked for a little more time. When the old man wakes up, we can go to the yamen to clarify."

Seeing a thin and small girl talking to him frankly, the guard couldn't help but froze. He frowned, glanced at the yellow-faced guard, and nodded slightly.The yellow-faced guard looked dissatisfied, waiting for a rebuttal.But someone shouted: "The old man is awake."

The two sides temporarily stopped their dispute and turned their attention to the old man.

The old man woke up slowly. He rubbed his eyes, sat up on his hands, stared blankly at the crowd, and asked suspiciously, "What's going on here?"

Someone laughed and said, "Old man, did you faint just now?"

Crowded in the crowd, Mrs. Zhou asked expectantly, "Old man, did you become ill after eating Yang's stewed pork?"

The yellow-faced guard had a similar expression to Zhou's.Li Zhu paid attention to this sign, and secretly wrote it down in his heart.

The old man frowned and looked at the two of them, then stood up slowly.

Li Zhu handed over the bamboo tube again, the old man smiled at her, took a few sips, he drank the water like tasting wine, took a few sips to take a break and then drank a few more sips.Make the onlookers anxious.

The guard was impatient: "Old man, hurry up and tell me, what's going on?"

The old man seemed to have finished drinking the water in the bamboo tube, took out his handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and then said slowly: "A person is useless when he is old, if he is hot or cold, if he is uncomfortable, he will pass out, what else can be the reason. "

Aunt Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Many people were disappointed by this answer, especially Zhou and Zhu Chunshan.
