After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

Chapter 278: Aning hides something in the kitchen, and the wife of Yue Mansion surfaces

In a flash, Ling Junsheng jumped down and broke into the room. Aning in the room was startled and the package in her hand fell to the ground. She was about to shout but Ling Junsheng covered her mouth.

Other yamen runners picked up the package, opened it and saw that it was indeed some moldy tea leaves.

Although the noise they made was small, it still alarmed the other people in the backyard. The aunt in the kitchen screamed, and people in the yard rushed over here.

"It's the police. Haven't they left yet?"

"How is this going?"

"Go and call the lady."

Everyone was talking.

Ling Junsheng grabbed Aning and went out of the door and came to the yard. Yue Huiqing rushed over and was shocked when she saw this scene.

"Captain Ling, what are you doing..."

"Madam, I'm sorry. I just saw this maid acting suspiciously, so I followed her. I'm sorry to bother you." Ling Junsheng bowed.

"What did Aning do wrong?"

The bailiff unfolded the package and displayed the moldy tea leaves to everyone.

"Aning, how did you get these things? What are you going to do with them?" Yue Huiqing was very confused.

Aning lowered her head with tears in her eyes, but did not answer her.

"Ma'am, we need to take her back for questioning. Bye."

"Aning..." Yue Huiqing's heart was in a knot. What on earth was going on?

Ling Junsheng and his companions took Aning and quickly returned to the yamen.

Li Xingjian saw the tea leaves and slammed the table. "This Yue Lao San keeps causing trouble!" He turned his gaze to Aning and asked sternly:

"Tell me, was it Yue Lao San who asked you to do it?"

"Sir...I...I..." Aning hesitated and refused to say anything.

"You know that your master used this moldy tea to blackmail shops, beat people in the street, and disrupted the market... You are an accomplice, come, beat him up!"

"Sir! I dare not! I am just following your orders, please spare my life." Aning kowtowed repeatedly.

"Still quibbling! Come on, fight!"

The bailiff at the side dragged the man away directly.

"Sir! Spare me! Although the tea leaves were made by me, the young master didn't take them and they were not used at all. Sir! This is unfair!"

"lie!"

"Sir, I dare not. Ah!" The board had already fallen down, and she screamed in agony.

"My Lord, the young master asked me to go to the teahouse to buy rock tea, sprinkle water on it, and let the tea leaves mold... But after the tea leaves were ready, the young master really didn't use them. What I said was true... Ah..."

Li Xingjian waved his hand, signaling the bailiff to stop.

I bought tea leaves, made them, but didn't use them; I had a guilty conscience, but didn't do anything about it. Could it really be the tea shop's fault? Li Xingjian was confused.

"Where did you buy the tea? How much did you buy?"

"I bought the tea at Xiangyun Teahouse...three taels in total." Aning struggled to kneel down, feeling a pain in the back of her body.

"When did you buy it?"

"On the seventh day... sir, all the tea is here, really. If I lied, I would be struck by lightning and die a miserable death." Aning shook her head violently.

This was really strange. Ling Junsheng and the others looked at each other in surprise.

"Captain Ling, what are the results of the investigation on other customers of the teahouse?" Li Xingjian asked.

"Sir, I have investigated eight families who bought tea gifts this morning, and their tea leaves are normal."

It was a strange thing. Bai Zhicha had no grudge against Lu Laoliu and they didn't even know each other, so there was no need for him to sell the bad tea to him. According to Aning, the bad tea that Yue Laosan prepared was not used at all, so how did the tea change?

Ling Junsheng suddenly thought of a detail. He couldn't believe it and couldn't help frowning.

"Sir! I have overlooked something and would like to confirm it immediately." He cupped his hands.

"what's up?"

"Sir, Lu Laoliu only said that he would bring the tea to Yue Mansion, but he did not personally hand it over to Yue Laosan. From the time the tea was delivered to the time Yue Laosan opened it, there was another person who was able to touch the tea."

"Who?"

"Mrs. Yue."

"she?"

"Yes, sir. Because of Yue Lao San's previous despicable behavior, I have been focusing on him and ignored the possibility of other people committing crimes. I hope you can forgive me."

"It's okay. If you have doubts, go and ask."

"Yes!"

Ling Junsheng took two people and rushed to Yue Mansion quickly. He made three trips in one day, causing panic among the people in Yue Mansion.

Yue Huiqing's heart was pounding, her breathing was rapid, and she almost didn't dare to look at Ling Junsheng's face.

"Madam, I heard from the people in the mansion that when Lu Laoliu came to deliver tea that day, did you keep it for your husband?"

"Captain Ling, my husband was not at home at the time, so I asked someone to bring it to the room first. I can't just ignore it."

"Madam, who are the people who can enter and leave the room?"

"There are a lot of people here, including cleaning maids and servants who carry things. They can all come in." Yue Huiqing said hurriedly.

"But there is only one person who can enter the house without reason and have time to replace the things without being suspected."

Yue Huiqing shuddered:

"Captain Ling, didn't you arrest An Ning? You have also interrogated everyone in this mansion, who else is there?"

"Of course it's the other owner of this house." Ling Junsheng looked at her steadily.

"What do you mean? Are you saying that I changed the tea leaves? Why would I do that?"

"You know in your heart whether you did it or not, but you should also ask yourself why you did it."

Yue Huiqing clenched his right hand.

"What evidence do you have?"

"The evidence is there as long as we investigate. Where did the moldy tea come from? Where did the replaced tea go? There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. Anything you do will leave traces. If you don't speak up, can you guarantee that everyone in this mansion won't speak up?"

Ling Junsheng said this and glanced at the maid behind her.

The two maids looked at each other, their faces a little nervous.

"Madam Yue, I'll give you one more chance. Will you confess on your own or go to the government office to be tortured?"

Yue Huiqing took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

"Okay, I admit that I was the one who put the moldy tea leaves there," she said coldly.

"It's really you!"

"Yes, I hate that woman in the tea shop. She seduced my husband away..."

"Madam, it's not like that..." the maid beside her whispered.

"Madam..." Another maid's eyes turned red.

"That's right. I just want that woman's tea shop to close down and get out of Lan County as soon as possible, so that my husband won't worry about her." Yue Huiqing stood up and took a step forward.

"Captain Ling, I did it. I wanted to sue her myself later, but my husband couldn't help it and came to our house. Please take me away. I am willing to accept any punishment." Her tone was firm.

The two maids fell to their knees with a thud, "Captain Ling, Madam is not like that..."

"Shut up!" Yue Huiqing said sternly.

"Captain Ling, let me arrange things in the mansion first." She bowed and walked out of the house.
