Dressed as a villain's wife

April sixteenth.

The suspect in the poisoning case of Zui Ting Xuan half a month ago was arrested and brought to justice.

The people of Yancheng went to inquire about the news one after another, but in the end they only saw a corpse that was swollen and whitish from the blisters.

The corpse was placed on the cart, covered with a layer of sackcloth hastily to block the face of the corpse, and then pushed towards the county government.

Seeing such a scene, the people who watched the excitement began to discuss.

"Why is this person a woman!"

"Didn't you say that the buyer of Zui Ting Xuan was a man? This is obviously a woman."

"That's right, I heard that the poisoned one is still awake..."

There was a lot of discussion among the people, but no one wanted to believe that the woman on the cart was the one who poisoned the Zui Pavilion.

The yamen servants didn't explain much, they just dispersed the crowd and pushed the carts to the county yamen.

Liu Jie in the county office frowned very tightly, and was pacing back and forth in agitation.

They also checked the matter, and the problem was the seasoning in the dish.

It looks like fennel from the Western Regions, but it is a poisonous poison.

They also checked the dishes and the back kitchen that were brought back that day, and the problem was found in the spice bag marked with aniseed fennel.

A bag of five catties of spices was mixed with three catties of fennel and one catty of benzoin, and the rest was the poisonous fennel.

The remaining warehouses are all cumin mixed with sawdust.

But anyone who has eyes can see that this is the purchase of cheap and being cheated.

The person in charge of purchasing is Peng Xin, Madam He's cousin. Although it is known that he is relying on Madam He to gain a foothold in Zui Ting Xuan, everyone respectfully calls him Guanshi Peng.

They were going to take Peng Xin back to the county government office, but Madam He blocked the way.

It is only said that this incident was facilitated by Peng Xin's concubine, and she fled with money after the incident.

Peng Xin also demanded to sue the concubine on the spot for buying low and selling high for killing people and framing him.

In the end, he had no choice but to temporarily seal off Peng Xin's courtyard and send someone to track down the whereabouts of the beautiful concubine.

After half a month, the concubine's body was fished out from the moat in the south of the city.

The white and tender skin that used to be swelled into a terrifying appearance, and the waist that was tightly grasped was soaked into a barrel shape. When the government servants fished people up, water would seep out with their movements, and the eyes on the face were even more protruding. Her cheeks were swollen, and if it wasn't for the jewelry on her body, she probably wouldn't be able to tell who it was.

However, when Peng Xin was brought up by someone, he only took one look at the corpse, and began to cry, "My little boy! Why, why did you just leave like this!"

Peng Xin cried until his heart broke, and Madam He turned her head in disgust.

She said at the beginning that this woman is not a good thing, but her cousin doesn't believe it, but now she understands.

Knowing that something happened to him, he took the silver and ran away at the first time, but his death was not a loss, and he was saved in the end.

"Master Liu, now people have been arrested, and we have given all the evidence and witnesses. Is my cousin okay?" Mrs. He looked at Liu Jie and smiled while looking at the corpse on the ground.

Looking at the smile on Mrs. He's face, Liu Jie felt a little cold behind his back. Even though he knew that everything was done by her, he had no proof.

After all, on the second day after the incident, a so-called eyewitness came to the county government to testify for Peng Xin, saying that what he saw was a beautiful woman cuddling with Peng Xin's subordinates and plotting something.

"Mrs. He, I still can't afford to be such an adult."

"Then I will take my cousin away. As for the concubine, I will trouble you to deal with it."

After Madam He finished speaking, she only lightly kicked Peng Xin who was crying sadly, and walked out.

"Mrs. He, let me remind you that some things are done too much, and sooner or later there will be retribution."

Liu Jie's voice sounded cool, and Peng Xin, who had just got up, felt cold behind his back.

Even the movement of raising his feet staggered a little.

Mrs. He just paused for a moment, and then left the county office expressionlessly.

Retribution, how can this thing be taken as real.

If there is really so-called retribution, how could my mother be abandoned by such a heartless man?

Master He Jiahe is talking about Yanzhi Zhuangzi with the steward in the study.

The batch of orders were returned, and the goods were sent back together, and the name of sending fake goods was given to his own Zhuangzi. Many shops that had business dealings with his family also stopped. Just lost nearly 2 taels.

"Master, this is the rouge they sent. They said, this is the real thing. The ones we sent later are all wrong."

The steward of Rouge Manor tremblingly placed two boxes of Rouge in front of Master He.

These two boxes of rouge were made in his own village, so he recognized them.

But how could this be said to be different?

Master He's complexion was a little gloomy, and he didn't speak. He just opened two boxes of rouge and looked at them.

There is no difference between the two boxes of rouge from the outside, and the powder inside also looks the same.

Seeing that the master didn't speak, the steward in the village raised his head slightly to watch his reaction quietly. Seeing his eyebrows wrinkled and tightened, he felt even more uneasy.

The raw materials used for these rouges are all the same. He really doesn't know what's wrong.

"He Fu, come in." Master He put two boxes of rouge on the table, his eyelids twitched.

He Fu outside the door heard his master calling him, so he hurriedly opened the door and went in, fearing that he would scold him if he was too late.

"Master, what's the matter?"

"These two boxes of rouge, look what's wrong." Mr. He pointed at the two boxes of rouge, his eyes were a little tired.

I only have two sons and a daughter under my knees, and only one son was born in the first place, but now my youngest son is making troubles in the family because of a woman, and he is even on a hunger strike.

Although the eldest son was obedient, he was born in a concubine's room. He just wanted to entrust the affairs of this family to him, and he was afraid that his wife would not agree.

"Yes, sir."

He Fu is an old man of the He family, he has been with Master He since he was a child, and now he can be regarded as the elder of the He family.

Now he was holding the two boxes of rouge and looking at them carefully, and then he smelled them carefully, as if he was not sure, he even reached out and wiped some on his palm.

After about half an hour, the stewards on the side could barely stand, so He Fu said: "Master, although these two boxes of rouge look similar, the one on the left is sticky when wiped on your hands." The color of the box is still a little uneven, and it smells a little too strong, but the box on the right has a light and elegant scent, and it feels smooth on the hands."

As soon as the words fell, He Fu stood aside again, and the steward at the side heard his words, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead again.

"The two boxes, you said they used the same things. How could there be such a big difference?" Mr. He rubbed his brows, with some displeasure in his tone.

"This, this, master, I really don't know, our ingredients and formula are the same, I have been watching it all the time, and I dare not make mistakes."

"Then what do you mean, I blamed you wrongly?" Mr. He grabbed the inkstone beside him and threw it at the steward.

"No, dare not." The inkstone brushed his cheek reluctantly, although it hurt, but he did not dare to dodge.

"2 taels! This incident caused me to lose 2 taels!"

"Maybe, maybe it's related to Miss Su." The steward seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.
