Don't have chicken broth?

Didn't eat chicken?

What's going on?

At this point in the interrogation, more mysteries have been derived, making the people in the hall staring at each other.

Lin Haoran's mind was also in a mess, but he didn't hurry to slap the shocking wood, and asked in a deep voice: "Zhang Min, what's the secret in this, for this official to truthfully recruit!" ”

The people and servants in the hall all looked at Zhang Min with brushes, and even Dai Beichen, the official in charge of the record, stopped his pen and looked at Zhang Min suspiciously.

Zhang Min burst into tears, supported his lower abdomen with his hands, and uncovered the answer: "What the women's house ate that day was not chicken, but actually ...... Snake! ”

As soon as the words fell, Liu Sanmei loudly accused: "You are talking nonsense, my mother is a green Miao person, how can my brother give my mother snake meat!" It's clear that you, a poisonous woman, are making it up, trying to exonerate yourself! ”

It's just that many people are in deep thought, although they don't understand why the Lanmiao people don't eat snake meat, but they know that some ethnic minorities in Guangxi do have a lot of strange customs, such as not eating pork, tattooing their faces, feeding fish with the corpses of their ancestors, etc., presumably this is also a custom not to eat snake meat.

If this is the case, then it could explain the "mystery of the disappearance of chicken soup".

Presumably, Liu Xing brought the poisonous snake back to make soup, but it was chicken soup to deceive the blind boss. Although Zhang Min did not expose it, he still quarreled with Liu Xing for a few words, and in the end, he deliberately knocked over the "chicken soup" to prevent the blind boss from drinking it.

The original intention here was not to worry that the blind old man would drink the chicken soup and let the matter be exposed, but purely out of a kind of love for the blind old lady, which can also explain that when the yamen went to inspect that day, he couldn't find the chicken soup with arsenic in the pot.

Lin Haoran naturally couldn't listen to Zhang Min's words, and Liu Sanmei also pointed out a possibility, so she asked the blind old lady: "Liu, what do you say, are you sure you ate chicken that day?" ”

"Mother, don't be deceived by this poisonous woman! She is the murderer who poisoned my brother, and she said that my brother died of arsenic poisoning! Liu Sanmei earnestly admonished, and emphasized the previous autopsy results.

The blind old lady sighed and said in a sad tone: "Don't say it again! Your mother is blind, but her heart is not blind! In the past ten years, every time the family kills chickens, your sister-in-law will leave me chicken legs, chicken breasts, chicken kidneys, and chicken wings. But on that day, it was just your brother who brought a few pieces of meat, and I ...... I don't know what snake meat tastes like, but it's not chicken, it's not chicken! ”

As he spoke, the blind boss stretched out his hand to wipe a handful of tears, but he didn't know if it was because his son deceived her, or because Zhang Min must have served for more than ten years, and felt a kind of guilt in his heart.

Zhang Min also kept wiping away tears, but she didn't know whether she cried with joy for the blind boss to clarify her, or remembered her conscientious work in the past ten years.

"Although the sister-in-law of the Liu family is not virtuous, she is really filial!"

"That's right! said that she poisoned Liu Xing, I don't believe it! ”

"I remember going to her house that day, and I was sure that I saw snake soup, and I thought that Bacheng was a mistake."

……

The people in the hall immediately talked about it, but many people chose to believe Zhang Min. In particular, some neighbors are more familiar with Zhang Min's personality, and they even believe that he has made a mistake.

When Lin Haoran saw that the matter had come to this point, he knocked on the shocking wooden road: "Spread the word to be Shen Wu!" ”

Now the crux of the case is in the autopsy report, if it is confirmed that Liu Xing died of snake venom, then it can prove that Zhang Min was indeed wronged. But if it is confirmed that Liu Xing still died of arsenic poisoning, Zhang Min may still be the murderer.

"Lord Qiqi, Shen Wu has returned to his hometown to visit relatives, and he has not returned yet!" A messenger replied.

Lin Haoran's brows frowned slightly, and he beckoned Sun Jixiang to hear what he meant.

Sun Jixiang said: "My lord, the evidence in this case cannot be overturned, and the autopsy report needs to be re-issued, so the adult can first put the suspect Zhang Min in prison, and then ask him to re-examine the autopsy!" ”

Lin Haoran nodded slightly, agreeing with this disposal plan.

Probably because the blind person has better ear power, the blind boss seems to have heard Sun Jixiang's words, and suddenly stopped: "Slow down, adult!" Amin, you really didn't poison Ah Xing? ”

"Mother, I didn't!" Zhang Min shook his head tearfully.

The blind boss said to Lin Haoran sincerely: "My lord, please withdraw the old body, the old body will not sue her, she ...... She is the best daughter-in-law in the world, and I believe she didn't kill my son! ”

Cough!

Sun Jixiang coughed lightly and shook his head lightly at Lin Haoran.

Lin Haoran naturally knew what to do, and he was shocked, and said with the majesty of the prefect: "Bold, this is a murder case, do you want to sue if you don't want to sue?" ”

The blind boss felt deeply remorseful, and suddenly cried bitterly at Zhang Min: "It's the old body that can't stand you!" I've made you suffer these days, and I've made you even more tired of taking care of my blind old woman over the years! After you come out, just find someone to remarry! ”

"Mother, I'm not married! I'm not married! Zhang Min also burst into tears, and shook his head while holding the blind boss.

"Not married? It's clearly thinking about my Liu family's wealth! Liu Sanmei immediately said in a weird manner.

Zhang Min was about to refute, but the blind boss said angrily: "You...... You're the one who cares about your money! I was also bewitched, otherwise why would I have wronged your sister-in-law and made your sister-in-law suffer! As he spoke, he said to Zhang Min again: "The old body doesn't want to drag you down anymore, you can find someone to marry when you come out, and the wine shop will leave you as a dowry!" ”

Zhang Min's tears collapsed, and he wiped his tears and said, "Mother, I won't get married, I'm ...... I already have the flesh and blood of the Liu family, and our Liu family has a queen, woo! ”

"Huh? It's true! The blind boss was pleasantly surprised.

"That's right! Of course it's true, I hired a doctor yesterday! The tiger girl who was sipping melon seeds on the side stood up and raised her face a little proudly.

Just yesterday, after Zhang Min fainted, Hu Niu also invited a doctor and found out that she was pregnant. It is for such a reason that Zhang Min, who is like ashes, rekindles her vitality and asks Hu Niu to help her redress her grievances.

The tiger girl is a master who can't be idle, and this time she is naturally happy.

Whining......

The blind old lady really cried with joy, and two lines of tears welled up in her wrinkled eyes, but she didn't expect such a great event.

Zhang Min's emotions were also infected, I don't know if it was because God suddenly favored her, or because she was moved by the emotions of the blind old lady, the scene was very touching.

When the people in the hall saw this scene, their eyes were moist.

Although the case did not come to light, many people believed that Zhang Min was innocent, and that the act was to cause death from snake venom and mistakenly judge it as arsenic poisoning.

"The case of Zhang's poisoning of her husband still needs to be verified, and he will be temporarily imprisoned today, and the verdict will be announced at a later date!" Lin Haoran announced that he wanted to retreat back to the back house.

"Brother, my aunt is happy, can you not put her in prison?" Hu Niu stood up again, pleading with her face up at Lin Haoran.

The blind boss also reacted, and anxiously knelt down to Lin Haoran and said, "Yes! Please be merciful and let my daughter-in-law go home to recuperate! ”

Lin Haoran's brows frowned slightly, and when she found out that this girl would make trouble for herself, she quickly beat this girl. is different from an emotional person like Tiger Girl, who is actually more rational.

Although the matter has been in favor of Zhang Min, especially the chicken soup that was previously thought to be poisoned by chicken soup does not exist, if it turns out that Liu Xing still died of arsenic, Zhang Min may still be the evil woman who poisoned Liu Poison.

It's just that Lin Haoran seems to have undercounted one thing, that is, the people's heart.
