A car accident, our family of three crossed

From Mei's narration, they learned that Wan had brought people in to cause trouble for her yesterday and even stole all her valuable jewelry.

Zhou Ru slammed the table angrily, "This is too much. She really thinks that she, a mere wife of a county magistrate, can do whatever she wants."

When Xiaolan heard this, she started to cry again, and said in a sobbing voice: "Miss, you have been wronged."

"I'm fine, but they are just my personal belongings. Let them rob me if they want!" Mei still feels a little scared when she thinks about it now.

Fortunately, they did not do anything more extreme to her, otherwise, she would have been alone and weak and would not have been able to resist at all.

Song Ning nodded in agreement. "That's right. If you want to rob someone, then rob him. In this passive situation, as long as there is no personal injury, it's good enough."

Fortunately, thanks to Zhou Huan's arrangement, the cell was moved to a clean and spacious one, which is far away from the crowded and messy environment and is much quieter.

Two quarters of an hour passed quickly, and even if they had a lot to say, they could not finish.

"Miss, I have brought a comb and hair accessories. I will comb your hair right away."

When Xiaolan knew that she could come to the prison to visit her master, before she left, she thought that her mistress had not done her makeup and hair in prison all day, so she brought a makeup box with her. Unexpectedly, it came in handy at this moment.

Seeing this, Zhou Ru couldn't help but praise, "You are really thoughtful, girl!"

He praised Xiaolan, then turned to look at Xianghuan and said jokingly, "Did you see that? Learn from her."

Xianghuan stuck out her tongue playfully when she heard that.

Xiaolan smiled when she heard herself being praised, "Thank you for the compliment, Miss Zhou. This is what I should do."

Soon, a simple bun was done and it was time for them to leave.

After the jailer came over to urge them, the few of them said goodbye to Mei, and with her reluctant look in their eyes, they left the cell and walked towards the corridor outside.

Until they all disappeared from sight and the footsteps gradually faded away and could no longer be heard, Mei was still standing in front of the wooden door, staring blankly at the dim corridor outside.

After the jailer personally escorted the men out of the county jail, Song Ning stuffed a purse into his pocket and said, "Thank you very much today, officer. Here are some small change. Keep it for your tea."

After stuffing their pockets, they waited for Qingshuang to drive the carriage over, and then they got on and left.

The jailer weighed the weight of his purse and secretly rejoiced in his heart. He was really lucky these past two days! He had a great harvest! He would buy some good wine and food to reward himself.

On the other hand, Hang Shuheng took Zhou Yin to visit drugstores and clinics in the city to check the sales of arsenic.

In this dynasty, highly toxic substances such as arsenic were under control, and any pharmacy or clinic was required to record how much arsenic it had in stock or how much it had sold.

They visited many drug stores and clinics and found that none of these stores had any recent record of selling arsenic. Finally, they found something at Xinglinxuan drug store in the south of the city.

By coincidence, Yang Dongsheng, the owner of Xinglinxuan, happened to be in the shop today. After hearing their purpose, he cooperated very actively, took out the booklet and checked, and soon found useful information.

A few days ago, there was a record of a transaction of selling arsenic at Xinglinxuan Pharmacy, which recorded in detail the origin of the person who bought the arsenic and the purpose of purchasing the arsenic.

The person who bought the arsenic was a servant in the Mei Mansion in the east of the city. As for why he bought the arsenic, he said that there were many rats at night recently and they always broke into the kitchen to steal food, so he bought the arsenic to poison the rats.

As soon as they saw the Mei Mansion, Hang Shuheng and Zhou Yin looked at each other tacitly. It seemed that the Mei Mansion was indeed related to this matter.

Afterwards, Hang Shuheng asked the clerk who was doing the deal some detailed questions.

The clerk recalled that the man came to him in a secretive manner and said he wanted to buy arsenic.

At first, the man was very reluctant to tell his identity and the clerk was unwilling to sell to him. Later, the man randomly told his address and urged the clerk to sell to him quickly.

However, the guy was cautious and didn't sell the arsenic to him until the man showed something that could prove his identity.

As a last resort, the man finally told the truth and took out the doorplate of the Mei Mansion to prove his identity.

Hang Shuheng asked, "Do you remember what that person looked like?"

"I remember, I remember." The waiter nodded repeatedly. As waiters, they were the best at recognizing people. What's more, the man's behavior was a little abnormal, so it was difficult for him to forget it.

Hang Shuheng nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "If you are required to go to court to testify against that person, are you willing?"

The clerk did not answer immediately, but turned to look at his boss. Seeing that the boss nodded, he agreed without hesitation, "If it can help the government solve the case, I am willing to do it."

After getting the clues he wanted at Xinglinxuan, Hang Shuheng didn't talk any more and soon left with Zhou Yin.

As the two walked down the street, Hang Shuheng instructed Zhou Yin, "Send someone to check if the servant in the Mei Mansion had any secret dealings with the deceased's family. Also, check which shop sold the medicine the deceased took before his death, and look for any discarded medicine residues."

He had a hunch that the whole thing was planned by the Wan family and carried out by the Mei family.

It’s just because both of them have the same goal, which is to bring down Mei and obtain the assets under her name.

It is not legitimate for Wan to obtain the assets under Mei's name.

But Master Mei is different. He is Mei's biological father. If something really happens to Mei, it would be normal for him, as Mei's blood relative, to take back the property under her name.

As for how they will divide it in the end, Hang Shuheng doesn't care, because they will not succeed.

With more people at hand, things can be done more efficiently.

However, one day, all the people who were sent out to investigate the matter came back and found the answers they wanted.

It turned out that the servant who bought the arsenic in the Mei Mansion was the craftsman who started the trouble and was kicked out by the Mei family not long ago.

At that time, Mrs. Mei only gave him a slight punishment and then sold him because he had worked for her family for many years.

But unexpectedly, after many twists and turns, this person was actually bought back by Mr. Mei.

When Hang Shuheng heard the news, he smiled faintly. This made sense.

He once said that when Mei dealt with this man, he was merciful, which was equivalent to planting a hidden danger for himself.
