Traveling through the famine years with the system to raise cubs

Jiang Ling nodded. She put the borrowed salt in bowls, dissolved the salt with water, and then added phenolphthalein powder. The salt in those bowls did not change in any way.

Jiang Ling will take the deicing agent over and repeat the previous action. When the phenolphthalein powder is put into the bowl of the deicing agent, the originally transparent water immediately turns purple.

Everyone present was stunned, even the knowledgeable magistrate Duan was surprised.

With his mouth wide open, he came over and stuttered for a long time and asked, "This...what's going on here?"

Jiang Ling had already learned this kind of simple chemistry in books as early as the third year of junior high school, but she couldn't explain it that way, so she could only continue to lie: "This is the ancestral powder that my grandmother gave me! I explained it to you before." Yes, my grandma was worried that we would eat the deicing agent by mistake, so she made this special powder!"

County magistrate Duan was shocked for a long time, then nodded his head half-understood and said: "Well, this is really amazing! It seems that your grandma really has the foresight!"

Jiang Ling grinned and said nothing. Seeing this, Xie Changsan immediately knelt in front of Duan County Magistrate and said to Duan County Magistrate: "My lord! My lord, the little one is really wronged!"

County magistrate Duan waved his hand impatiently, motioning for Zhao Liu to help Xie Changsan up, and then said: "Okay, I see!"

The water in the bowl is solid evidence, and only people in Lujia Village have used this deicing agent recently, so Xie Changsan did not take the initiative to poison it.

"Xie Changsan, although you did not poison, but you bought private salt for cheap, if you don't teach you a lesson today, I am afraid you will not remember it!"

Before the magistrate Duan finished speaking, Xie Changsan was already in tears.

"Those who eat poison in your restaurant, you will pay 20 taels of silver per person, and you will be fined 100 taels, and all the deicing agent will be confiscated! If you are the first offender, you will be spared the punishment of flesh and blood!"

Hearing this, Xie Changsan was relieved. Over the years, he had also made some money from opening restaurants, so it was all spent on disaster relief.

"Thank... Thank you for your forgiveness!" Xie Changsan wanted to kneel and kowtow again, but Zhao Liu held him tightly and failed to make his wish come true.

The village chief at the side was already terrified when he heard what the magistrate Duan said just now, so he could only lower his head and look at other places in a guilty conscience.

"Village chief, where does Mrs. Lu live?" County magistrate Duan set his eyes on the village chief.

The county magistrate Duan had long lost his previous kind expression, and he looked at the village head seriously with a dark face and frowning.

The village chief felt that his legs were suddenly heavy, and he quickly knelt down and said tremblingly, "My...my lord...."

"It's none of your business, just tell the truth where her home is!" County magistrate Duan said, glancing at the village chief who was kneeling on the ground.

The village head buried his head deeper now, he stretched out his hand tremblingly, pointed to a place behind him and did not speak again.

County magistrate Duan ignored the village chief and led a group of people towards Lu's house.

Mrs. Lu's house.

Widow Wang had just put her sleeping child on the bed and was about to go to the ground to wash clothes when someone knocked on the door.

Although she didn't want to, but luckily the knock on the door was not loud, and didn't wake up her children. She hurriedly walked towards the door lightly.

As soon as she opened the door, she froze.

Outside.

The few people standing looked strange except for Jiang Ling.

"You?" Widow Wang asked, frowning vigilantly.

"This is the magistrate of our Pingxi County!" Jiang Ling pointed to the magistrate Duan and said.

"County... county magistrate?" Widow Wang "chewed" these two words that seemed to be worth a lot of money in surprise.

Her face was pale at the moment, beads of sweat were seeping from her forehead, and even her legs were trembling slightly.

"Is your mother-in-law at home?" Jiang Ling asked coldly, ignoring Widow Wang's current appearance.

"In...ah no...not..." Widow Wang nodded first, then quickly shook her head and answered.

Jiang Ling looked at the strange Widow Wang in front of her and frowned and asked again: "Your mother-in-law, is Mrs. Lu there?"

Widow Wang felt a little guilty when she was asked about this, and she looked behind her with trembling eyes. Seeing this, Jiang Ling whispered to County Magistrate Duan, "Your Excellency, you should be in the house!"

County magistrate Duan nodded and turned to Zhao Liu and said, "Sixth son, go and have a look inside!"

Before Widow Wang could react, Zhao Liu had already arrived at Widow Wang's house like a gust of wind.

Widow Wang wanted to stop her, but Jiang Ling said calmly, "Your mother-in-law sells snow melting agent privately, and some people in Pingxi County have been poisoned by it. If this matter has nothing to do with you, I advise you not to interfere!"

Jiang Ling's words dispelled all the previous thoughts of Widow Wang, and now Widow Wang subconsciously turned her body slightly, and couldn't help but cast her eyes in the direction of Mrs. Lu.

After a while, Zhao Liu's figure ran out from the inside. He frowned and said to the magistrate Duan with a serious expression: "My lord, that old woman doesn't seem to be at home!"

"What?" County magistrate Duan was surprised by Zhao Liu's answer.

Zhao Liu nodded, pointed to Mrs. Lu's room and said, "When I went in, I found no one inside, but the window was open, and I suspected that the old woman had already escaped through the window!"

Jiang Ling glanced at the majestic mountains behind, and said to County Magistrate Duan, "My lord, I suspect Mrs. Lu has gone to the back mountain!"

"The back mountain is too big. I don't think it's necessary to send people to patrol. Anyway, Mrs. Lu left in a hurry and didn't bring any food. When it gets dark, I guess she will come back secretly. When the time comes to catch her Much easier!"

County magistrate Duan nodded again and again after hearing Jiang Ling's proposal.

Jiang Ling glanced at Xie Changsan and said to County Magistrate Duan, "My lord, since Boss Xie has been cleared of suspicion, why not let him go. Everyone hopes to be a member of the league at the end of the year!"

After Boss Xie heard Jiang Ling's words, he looked at Jiang Ling gratefully and cupped his hands and said, "Be kind!"

Jiang Ling smiled lightly and did not answer. County magistrate Duan glanced at Xie Changsan and said angrily, "This time I will teach you a lesson. If you do it again, you will be whipped!"

Xie Changsan shrank his neck and drooped his head, whispering: "I know... I know!"

County Magistrate Duan glanced at Zhao Liudao: "Liu Zi, take Xie Changsan back, I'll wait here for the old woman's whereabouts!"

As soon as Zhao Liu was about to say something, County Magistrate Duan immediately gave him a look. Zhao Liu could only nod and led Xie Changsan away from Lujiacun.

After hearing Mrs. Lu escape through the window, the village chief rushed to Jiang Ling's house in fear.

"Forget it, I've already told you that it has nothing to do with you, let's forget about it!" County magistrate Duan put down his teacup and glanced at the village chief who was kneeling on the ground.

The village chief still didn't dare to get up, his forehead was sweating, and he scolded Mrs. Lu countless times in his heart.

"Get up, if you keep kneeling like this, if others see you, you'll think I'm oppressing the people!" County Magistrate Duan cast a helpless glance at the village head and said calmly.

The village head got up immediately after hearing this, and then said to County Magistrate Duan, "Don't worry, magistrate, I... I'll call the people of our village and go to the back mountain to find Mrs. Lu for you! Don't worry!"

As he said that, he rushed out of Jiang Ling's house.
