Farming Food Tycoon (The Culinary Tycoon) - Chapter 133
“Familiar?” The man called the eldest brother frowned and looked at the person who was being slapped, and said, “Who?”
The man who spoke before scratched his head and said: “I feel familiar, I don’t know where I have seen it.”
The eldest brother glanced at his younger brother and said, “Don’t you read it wrong, right?”
“Impossible.” The younger brother curled his eyebrows: “I think about it.”
The eldest brother said, “Think about it, this guy is so nasty, and he gave me medicine in Boss Yu’s shop. It’s really an act. When I think about it, let’s help Boss Yu.”
“Well, I know.” The younger brother really thought about it seriously.
Over there, the servants finished playing twenty boards and dragged the culprit back to the court.
Luo Mingda slapped the hall and said sharply: “If you are under the class, please report your name, age, and place of origin. If you don’t answer any more, please wait on the board!”
Hearing that, the thief shook his body and had just suffered twenty slaps. Those government officials did not show any mercy. They hit hard and hit their butts with fierce pain, but it was even more uncomfortable than the kicks of those guys Yu Qingze.
With sweat on his forehead, he looked up at the county magistrate and frowned when he saw his serious expression, thinking in his heart, this is different from what he said.
Not wanting to hit the board for nothing, his eyes rolled, and he reluctantly said: “Niu Qiang, twenty-six, from Lishu Village, Chengdong.”
“Why sneaked into Jufu downstairs medicine in the middle of the night?” Luo Mingda asked.
Niu Qiang did not answer again.
Luo Mingda’s forehead blue veins violently, and the gavel beat fiercely.
Snapped!
“Say!” Luo Mingda said sharply.
This shot, there was an echo in the lobby. The people in the hall were all taken aback, and the people watching outside were also taken aback. Some of them were talking quietly, but they stopped talking at this time and all looked inside the hall.
Niu Qiang was also taken aback, but he shook his head and replied, “I didn’t take the medicine.”
Luo Mingda looked at Yu Qingze.
Yu Qingze picked up the medicine bag placed next to him and said, “My lord, he lied. He overturned the wall from the backyard and entered the backyard of my shop. He pried open the window of the kitchen of my shop. After entering, he went to the water tank and opened the lid. I took out this large packet of powder in my arms, and my buddy Da Song discovered it when I was about to administer the medicine. The medicine fell beside the water tank. Da Song can testify.”
Luo Mingda asked again: “Where is the big pine?”
Dasong replied: “My lord, I am here.”
Luo Mingda asked: “Report your name, age, and place of origin, let’s talk about the development of the matter.”
Dasong: “Yes. I’ll tell you that Mr. Yu Song, a caomin, is a 19-year-old from Niutou Village in the west of the city. He is now a guy in the kitchen of Jufulou. Last night, the boss Yu called me and Dazhi, and Jiabao to talk about things. It was too late for us. So I stayed in the store.”
“In the middle of the night, I woke up at night, and suddenly heard a sound from the kitchen window, I went in and looked at it, and found that the window was slowly opening. I thought it must be a thief who came in. I was anxious and I hid. Behind the counter table and the cabinet, I saw this man jump in. Then he blew the fire and went directly to the water tank to administer the medicine. When I saw it, I was anxious. I picked up the rolling pin and rushed. After going out, I yelled, Boss Yu and the others heard him, and everyone caught him together.”
Luo Mingda said: “The powder is here.”
A government officer came forward and took the medicine packet from Yu Qingze and presented it to Luo Mingda.
Luo Mingda opened it and took a look, and said to the yavier: “Go and ask a doctor to come over and ask for the most prestigious person in the city.”
“Yes, sir.” The Ya Ya took the order.
Then, while waiting for the doctor to come, Luo Mingda asked Dazhi and Jiabao’s confession.
“Niu Qiang, how do you explain?” Luo Mingda asked.
Niu Qiang pouted his buttocks and forced his mouth hard, “They slandered me. I’m just thirsty and want to go in and get a bowl of water.”
Yu Qingze snorted coldly and said: “In the middle of the night, wearing a black cloth and mask, drinking water to someone else’s house? Are you a fool as an adult?”
Then Niu Qiang also said: “Who is not allowed to wear black clothes? I am masked because I am afraid of the cold wind. The well in your backyard is blocked by a big stone. Otherwise, why would I go into the kitchen?”
“My lord! You heard that, he wanted to poison the well! This person, his heart is shameful!”
“My lord, he prepared the medicine pack himself, and he wanted to frame me…”
“…”
Before the doctor arrived, Luo Mingda watched the two arguing meaningfully in the hall.
Master felt that he had violated the dignity of the court, and suggested whether to shut up the two of them.
Luo Mingda stretched out his hand to stop him, and said, “Let them make a noise, let’s just listen. Maybe anyone will show off his feet?”
The master paused, then smiled and said, “My lord is clever.”
After a while, the doctor arrived. Sure enough, it was Dr. Li that the Ya Ya brought.
At this moment, there are more people watching outside the public hall. The old man of Cai’s house and his husband also rushed over when he got the news. Several other leaders who received the news also sent people to inquire about the news.
Snapped!
Luo Mingda slapped the gavel, and the yamen on both sides knocked on the water and fire sticks, yelling ‘Mighty’ in his mouth.
Yu Qingze and Na Niu Qiang stopped.
“Doctor Li, please come and see what’s in this paper bag?” Luo Mingda said.
“Yes, my lord.” Doctor Li stepped forward, went to Luo Mingda’s table, carefully looked at the powder, and smelled it, and then said, “My lord, this packet is croton powder.”
Yu Qingze and the others already knew that the medicinal powder was croton powder, but the people watching below did not know that it was croton powder. At this time, they all talked about it, and the door was a little noisy for a while.
Luo Mingda asked: “What is the purpose of this powder? What if you put all of it in a water tank?”
Dr. Li replied: “Croton is a hot laxative with great toxicity. It is a febrile laxative. It can warm the intestines, reduce the swelling of the intestines, eliminate the swelling of the intestines, eliminate the stagnant food, and wash away the cold and cold in the intestines and stomach (Note 1). This powder is only available. It takes a little bit to be laxative. If the whole bag is put into the water tank, diarrhea will be mild for three days after accidental ingestion, and severe cases can cause fainting or even death. If the elderly are weak, people who accidentally eat it will cause serious problems. of.”
When the people outside the hall heard it, their opinions became louder.
“This one who kills a thousand knives, our family often goes to Jufulou to fight the tooth-fighting ceremony. This person is actually eating croton flour in the food, which is too damnable.”
“That’s right. My old man also likes to eat Jufulou’s food. He originally said that he would go to eat at noon today. If this is done by him, what can my old man do? Fortunately, the boss and they caught the culprit!”
“Don’t let him go! Those who poison people in eating are not good people.”
“…”
In the hall, Luo Mingda was angry when he heard it, and slapped the gavel with a slap, and said angrily: “Niu Qiang, people are getting spoils, people and evidence are all there, what else can you say!”
Fortunately, Fu Lang let him pretend to agree to follow Jia Xiaoren’s words. If he did not follow Jia Xiaoren’s words, then Jia Xiaoren would act on his own. Wouldn’t he also eat the rice cooked with croton flour and fried dishes? ? !
Then Niu Qiang looked at the magistrate and didn’t know how to react. This was different from what he had said. What should he do now?
“Say! Why did you go downstairs in Jufu to harm people? Is it your own intention or someone behind it?!” Luo Mingda asked angrily.
Niu Qiang was still frowning and thinking.
Seeing this, Luo Mingda said angrily: “If you don’t see the coffin, you won’t cry, drag me out…”
“Wait, I said I said!” Niu Qiang said quickly when the magistrate was about to hit the board again.
“Tell me honestly!”
Niu Qiang replied: “…My little brother had a meal in Jufulou last month, and he had diarrhea when he came home. He has been lying in bed for more than half a month. My dad went to Jufulou and asked them to explain. Who knows? They refused to admit it, and I was furious, so I wanted to teach them a lesson.”
Luo Mingda asked Yu Qingze, “Is it possible?”
Yu Qingze shook his head and said, “I told my lord, it’s nothing. Last month, no guests from Jufu Building came to us to ask for an explanation. Since the opening of Jufu Building, the guests have said yes. We have never received any guests who say no. Good remarks, you can ask the folks at Quanjufulou for verification of this matter, and the guests at Jufulou can also prove that there has never been any problem with the dishes in Jufulou.”
Luo Mingda believed it, and he ate every day without any problems. However, as a county magistrate, he still has the responsibility to question witnesses.
He then asked Dasong Jiabao and Dazhi. Several people onlookers at the back voluntarily proved that they had eaten at Jufulou and it tasted good, and they had never had diarrhea.
Then Niu Qiang said: “Anyway, my little brother has a diarrhea.”
Yu Qingze asked, “Then what kind of food did he eat?”
Just two days after Niu Qiang arrived in Tongshan City, he didn’t know what kind of dishes were in the Jufu Building. He only saw that there was a Lamei in front of them, and said, “That’s what Lamei!”
Yu Qingze hummed and said, “My lord, he doesn’t say anything about it, and we only started selling Lap-mei in the past few days. We haven’t started selling it last month!”
Then Niu Qiang said, “It’s not Lamei, it’s that, what kind of duck!” He heard the person above that Jufulou had stolen their signature dishes.
“Drunk duck?” Yu Qingze asked.
“Yes! It’s a drunk duck!” Niu Qiang was sure.
“Are you sure?” Yu Qingze asked.
“It’s a drunk duck!”
Yu Qingze laughed and said to Luo Mingda: “My lord, the drunk duck in Jufulou was only launched this month, and it was not launched last month. This bull is strong, full of nonsense, upside-down, and framed my Jufulou. My lord, please stand for justice for me.”
When Niu Qiang heard this, this was also wrong, and he was a little panicked.
At this moment, the guy who was looking outside suddenly grabbed his brother’s arm and said, “Big brother, I remember who this person is!”
“Who?” the eldest brother asked.
The younger brother whispered in his elder brother’s ear.
The eldest brother frowned and said, “Are you sure?”
The younger brother nodded, “Yes, I’ve seen it twice. It’s not wrong. I remember the mole on his chin very clearly.”
The eldest brother patted his younger brother on the shoulder, gritted his teeth and said: “His grandfather’s, it is actually him! Go, make it clear to the adults, I heard that Lord Luo’s father is Lord Shangshu, this time I can’t let them run away.”
The younger brother nodded, also angrily.
Then the brothers squeezed through the crowd and stepped into the court. The younger brother shouted to Luo Mingda: “My lord! Caomin has something important to tell!”
Luo Mingda looked up at the door and asked, “Who is making noise?”
The two brothers knelt down on the spot and squatted their heads. Then the younger brother said, “Master Qi, Cao Yuan, a villager from Wulipo outside the city of Caomin Qingzhou, this is my elder brother Cao Ming. I know this man named Niu Qiang. Not Niu Qiang, Niu San, he deceived you!”
When this word came out, the whole room was shocked.
“Not Niu Qiang? Niu San?”
“Dare to tell lies in court to deceive adults!”
“…”
Yu Qingze and the others were shocked when they heard that, this Niu Qiang is not actually Niu Qiang? What’s inside?
Luo Mingda was even more angry, and said, “This is really unreasonable! Cao Yuan, come forward and answer!”
The brothers stepped forward and saluted.
Luo Mingda said: “Cao Yuan, tell me clearly, who is he? Tell me everything you know.”
“Yes, my lord.” Cao Yuan raised his head, and then said: “My lord, he is not called Niu Qiang, nor is he from Tongshan. His name is Niu San, a subordinate of Lijia Mansion, Qingzhou City, but he doesn’t work in Jia Mansion’s home. , But the subordinates in the other courtyard outside the city. That other courtyard is not far from our village, and the grassroots have seen it several times.”
When Yu Qingze heard this, he hurriedly clasped his fists and said to Luo Mingda: “My lord, I want to sue Jia Xiaoren, the owner of Xiangmanyuan on the North Street, for deliberate murder. I ask the adults to be fair.”
