Chapter 537: I have seen this man
Chapter 537 I have seen this person
Lin Jinxiao, Chang Lao, and Nie Lao did not dare to be sure that the same group of people poisoned the fish fry and assassinated the imperial envoy, but it is the best way to connect the two for the present plan, and they all agreed with Chu Nanzhi conjecture.
Lin Jinxiao said slowly: "The fish ponds in Tong'an Village are not small, and the poison of arsenic is the only thing that can poison so many fish fry at once. I'm afraid it's not done by ordinary people with such sinister intentions. Why would you dare to assassinate an imperial envoy, Chen Xiaowei, Li Yushi, you two must arrest and bring to justice the drug dealers who sold large quantities of arsenic in the whole city in the past few days."
As soon as this remark came out, the second uncle Lin Bo and the Tan family couldn't bear it immediately, and they came out and admitted: "Da Lang, we sold 20 catties of arsenic in our medical center the night before."
"Twenty catties of arsenic?"
Everyone was taken aback.
Lin Jinxiao looked straight at the past with fierce eyes: "Someone bought so much arsenic, how dare Second Uncle not report it to the government."
According to the court's law, as long as arsenic is more than two catties, it must be reported to the government.
Lin Bo blushed, and replied hesitantly: "I, I, I didn't know that this person would have such ulterior motives."
"Which company can buy so much arsenic, what good will it do?"
No need to ask, Lin Jinxiao also knew that the buyer must have given a lot of money.
Chu Nanzhi smiled meaningfully: "The person who bought the arsenic must have paid a lot of hush money?"
"It is true that a lot of silver was given, which is as large as a hundred taels."
Ms. Tan said frightenedly: "Nan Zhi, the second uncle really didn't want to harm you. If I knew that they bought arsenic to poison your fry, I would definitely not dare to sell it."
"I trust the second uncle."
Chu Nanzhi pretended to be magnanimous and didn't care about it.
But she was like a bright mirror in her heart. What she was afraid of was not because of the fish pond, but because she was afraid of being involved in the assassination of the imperial envoy.
"Second Uncle, Second Uncle, I know that it is impossible for you to have the courage to join forces with those thieves to assassinate the imperial envoy and frame me. As long as you confess to the arsenic-buying thieves, you will not be held accountable. "
"I don't know that person either."
Lin Bo looked bitter: "I have never seen this person before."
"I don't know each other well, but I dare to sell such a large amount of arsenic, and I am not afraid of being boarded."
Lin Jinxiao scolded furiously: "It's really a money obsession."
Chu Nanzhi smiled calmly and said, "It's okay, second uncle, do you still remember the appearance of the person who bought the arsenic?"
"Remember, remember, even if it turns into ashes, I still remember what those two people looked like."
Mrs. Tan immediately replied earnestly.
"it is good."
Chu Nanzhi looked at Sang Qi who was at the side, and ordered: "Go and call Sang Kun."
Not long after, Sang Kun was called.
With such an excellent painter, He Chou couldn't draw the face of the thief.
Moreover, Sang Kun's watercolor paintings are excellent, and he can paint the people he paints exactly like those captured by the camera in her world.
The messenger prepared paints and brushes for Sang Kun, so that Lin Bo and Tan's couple could accurately depict the appearance of the person who bought the arsenic.
In order to reduce the error, she still ordered Chen Chuan and Li Sanmu to take people to search all the medical clinics in the city that had sold arsenic in the past two days. She had covered up the crime committed by the imperial court. She expected that no one would dare to confess truthfully. .
Tong’an Village raises a lot of fish fry, so how can twenty catties of arsenic kill so many fish fry at once, at least thirty catties.
In order to dispel everyone's concerns, while Chen Chuan and Li Sanmu went out to search, Chu Nanzhi calmly let the guests continue to eat and drink to celebrate her happy event with Lin Jinxiao, without showing any signs of confusion.
Lin Jinxiao was not afraid of offending Concubine Yue and the two imperial uncles. Under Chang Lao's instruction, all the guests who came over were not allowed to leave the mansion before the matter was clarified.
In this way, it is just to stop those people with ulterior motives from continuing to incite right and wrong.
After the noon meal was over, Li Sanmu and Chen Chuan returned with people one after another, and brought back the shopkeepers of five medical centers who had sold arsenic in the past ten days, and sold a total of fifteen catties of arsenic.
Although Qian Hongwen of Hongwen Medical Center has also sold arsenic these days, his business has always been well-behaved. When it comes to taboo drugs such as arsenic, he never exceeds the amount. Moreover, he knows the basics and never sells it to strangers. people.
He sent someone back to question the boy who had come back and reported that he had only sold four or five catties of arsenic in the past ten days.
Chu Nanzhi immediately noticed the trickiness. The Hongwen Medical Center is one of the best medical centers in the entire Luyan Port. The main shop and several branches together only sold four or five catties of arsenic, while the rest of the medical centers But they sold so many, I'm afraid they all went to their own fish ponds. Immediately began to interrogate several drug dealers, and it was bound to find out who they were selling arsenic to.
The final conclusions were all consistent with the situation of Lin Bo Medical Center. The people who did not know the purchasers collected a lot of money.
It's just that these small traders don't have Lin Bo's black heart, and they dare not sell too much, and they are all controlled at two to three catties, so that even if something happens, they will not be punished too severely.
Chu Nanzhi asked Sang Kun to continue painting, and Lin Jinxiao asked Li Ce to hand over the portraits he drew to Li Ce, and invited all the painters in the prefecture to reproduce the portraits in large quantities, and posted them around the city for rewards.
Concubine Yue Gui wanted to join in the fun, but she never thought that she would be detained in the mansion, which is really helpless.
But as the emperor's favorite concubine, when such appalling things happened in the state, even Chang Lao followed suit, so she had no choice but to be patient and set an example, obediently staying at the mansion to eat and drink.
Anyway, no matter how much you search, you won't be able to find out about this matter, so it's better to stay at the house and watch the fun with peace of mind.
However, Lin Jinqian was a little worried that Tang Yuanxi would be sad and sad when she knew that the marriage was blocked, so she complained anxiously to Tang Ru: "You said what to do if the sister of the princess can't think about it, we are not in the house, and Ye'er asked her Take care of it, King Pingning detains me in the mansion, what's the matter?"
Tang Ru frowned, and whispered to her, "Princess, you didn't send someone to buy arsenic to poison Princess Pingning's fry, did you?"
"How is it possible, I have nothing to do with such dirty things."
Lin Jinqian said unhappily: "Tang Dalang, don't take my princess's kindness as a donkey, I am just worried about your sister."
Lin Jinxiao heard Princess Qian's complaint from the side, and said coldly: "The princess has already said that even if the imperial decree is robbed, His Majesty will make another one. How can we escape the certainty?"
"What Your Highness said is very true."
Tang Ru replied with a smile: "As long as the murderer who poisoned the fish fry is found, the imperial decree can be recovered, and His Majesty will not pursue it again."
Who knows, just as he finished speaking, Sang Kun brought a newly finished painting to Chu Nanzhi, nodded hesitantly and said, "Master, I've seen this man before."
