A car accident, our family of three crossed

When Mei heard the familiar voice, she turned around and looked at the person. It seemed that she had expected it, but when the facts were laid out before her, she still found it hard to accept it.

"Master Sancai, did you do this? Why?"

Lin Sancai was a worker in the workshop before. Because he was one of the people who stirred up trouble in the workshop, he was punished by Mei and transferred to the rouge shop to do odd jobs.

These people were dissatisfied with her, and she knew that they must be resentful after she punished them. She could imagine that, but she never imagined that their resentment towards her reached the point where they wanted to kill her.

When Lin Sancai heard her voice, he turned sideways and kowtowed to her, crying in regret, "Miss, I am so sorry for you. I was bewildered and did such a harmful thing."

Mei had mixed feelings, these people had been working under her mother when her mother was still alive, and they could be considered the people who had watched her grow up. If the master-servant rules were put aside, they could be considered her elders.

But now, these elders who had watched her grow up actually wanted to put her to death. She turned her face away in dismay and did not respond to his words of regret.

Hang Shuheng said, "Lin Sancai, tell the adults the truth about what you have done and what you know!"

Lin Sancai wiped away his tears, calmed himself down, and then began to tell the county magistrate the whole story.

"My Lord, the poison in the lip balm in the Rouge Shop was mixed in by me. It has nothing to do with our boss."

"Why did you put poison in your lip balm? Don't you know that poison can kill people?" The county magistrate slammed the gavel angrily, and he was so angry that he wanted to beat the man with a stick in court to vent his anger. "Do you know your crime?"

His wife also bought things from the rouge shop and was also recorded in the account book as one of the people who received the lip balm as a gift. Fortunately, the box of lip balm that his wife received did not contain poison.

"I know my crime, sir. I know that poison can kill people, so I secretly put poison in the lip balm the night before the incident at the rouge shop."

As everyone knows, on the day when the rouge shop incident happened, the family members of the deceased carried the corpse and blocked the door to cause trouble before the shop even opened.

Therefore, there was no chance that the lip balm laced with poison could be delivered.

Hang Shuheng glanced at Lin Sancai. Fortunately, he chose the right time to poison. If he had done it a day earlier, a lot of this batch of poisoned lip balm might have been sent out. In that case, the case would have been much more complicated.

Regardless of whether it was Mei who did it in the end, it is a true fact that someone was poisoned after using the lip balm from the Rouge Shop, and as the employer, she cannot escape blame.

"Tell me, why did you put poison in your lip balm?"

When questioned by the county magistrate, Lin Sancai started talking about the time when he was still working in the workshop. He and several other masters were dissatisfied with the boss's discipline and instigated everyone to go on strike and make trouble, which led to them being sold off or demoted.

As for their desire to disobey discipline and go on strike and cause trouble, where did it come from? They were instigated by others, and then they instigated others.

It was not until now that Mei realized that the reason why they suddenly became dissatisfied with her as their boss and even went on strike was because of the secret instigation of Master Mei and his wife.

Lin Sancai talked about the master Lin Laoliu who was the leader of the trouble in the beginning. After being sold out by the Mei family, he was bought back by Master Mei and given the rights of the number one master in the workshop.

Originally they had not been in contact for a long time, but a while ago, Lin Laoliu suddenly came to him and told him many bad things about Mei's family, provoking his dissatisfaction with Mei, the owner of the family.

So, after going back and forth several times, he finally got drunk and emboldened enough to agree to it.

When the poison was delivered to him, he hesitated several times. Finally, after learning that someone had died over there, he mixed the poison into his lip balm at the last moment.

He was drunk at the time and that gave him courage. Otherwise, if he was sober, he would not have dared to do such a harmful thing.

After hearing the whole story, the county magistrate slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Where is Lin Laoliu now? Go and arrest him quickly..."

But before he finished speaking, he heard a voice from the crowd outside, "No need, I have already brought the person here for you."

Zhou Yin was seen walking into the court carrying a sack. There should be a person in the sack, who was struggling and squirming.

Zhou Yin had no mercy at all and threw the sack directly to the ground. Immediately, a muffled groan could be heard coming from inside the sack.

He clapped his hands, flicked off the dust on his body, and said nonchalantly: "By the time you officials get down to business, the daylilies will be cold."

The county magistrate at the top knew Zhou Yin and knew that he was Zhou Huan's most capable guard. Even though he was unhappy about the other party's contempt, he had to endure it.

"Go, untie that sack."

Soon, a bailiff came forward, untied the sack, and pulled a man out of it. The man looked to be about the same age as Lin Sancai. His hands and feet were tied, and a rag was stuffed in his mouth. He was struggling constantly.

The bailiff did not untie him, but instead lifted him up and made him kneel, then pulled the rag out of his mouth.

"Sir, sir, it's unfair." As soon as he was free to speak, he began to cry out for justice.

The county magistrate at the top said coldly, "I haven't even asked any questions yet! And you're already crying foul. Do you know what I'm going to ask?"

"Uh, this... I, I don't know..." Lin Laoliu finally reacted and realized that he was too anxious and forgot his limits for a moment.

Ever since Mei was taken away by government officials, he has been paying close attention to what is happening in the yamen. As soon as the court opened today, he disguised himself, blended in with the crowd and observed secretly.

Later, when he saw that the mother and son could not hold on any longer and the truth was revealed, he quietly slipped away, thinking of packing up and leaving the county to avoid the limelight.

But who would have thought that he was captured just after he packed his belongings and had not yet set off.

Of course, he didn't know that he had been targeted since Hang Shuheng found the record of him buying arsenic in Xinglinxuan, and it was impossible for him to escape.

He thought that the people who arrested him were government officials, so when he saw the county magistrate, he began to cry out for injustice.

Now that I think about it carefully, the government officials must arrest him directly and there is no need to go through the trouble of putting him in a sack.

When he looked again, he saw the person who had arrested him was standing on the side, and that person was not wearing any uniform of a yamen constable or bailiff.
