Jiang Muxia glanced at Feng Baichuan and saw that he had his fists clenched and his brows were knitted together.

It seems that he is also guessing.

Chu Ruo wrote a prescription, "Take it three times a day, boil two bowls of water until it becomes one bowl of water. Drink it regularly for a month and all toxins in your body will be cleared."

He wrote the prescription and left.

Jiang Muxia consoled him with a few words and was about to leave. She also needed to ask Tang Zhongbai to write an invitation and discuss the details of the banquet the day after tomorrow.

"Miss Jiang, please stay."

"What's the matter? Just stay in my house and wait until your sister recovers, then you can go home." Jiang Muxia thought he was going back to Yangguan County and wanted to resign from her.

"Miss, you misunderstood. I wanted to ask if there is an escort agency in the county. I want to find a job."

"You're not going home?" Jiang Muxia was puzzled. He came here to seek medical treatment, why was he looking for a job here?

Feng Baichuan smiled bitterly, "To be honest, young lady, I sold my property in Yangguan County and came to Suanzao County this time. One is to seek medical treatment for my daughter, and the other is to live here permanently. I wonder if you are willing to help me?"

Jiang Muxia knew without asking that he had not returned for three years, and his life or death was unknown, leaving only an orphan and a widow at home. His only daughter was so sick that she would not live for many days, so someone must have bullied them openly or secretly.

The only people who could make Feng Baichuan willing to sell all his property to stay away from them and hurt them could be his closest relatives.

"As far as I know, the Wei family has a fleet to escort the goods. But the county is experiencing a disaster right now, and the ferry has stopped. I'll ask Wei Dong for you when I see him, and there shouldn't be any problem."

"In that case, thank you very much, Miss Jiang." At this time, Feng Baichuan also made up his mind to repay Jiang Muxia's kindness in this life, and he would go through fire and water for her without hesitation.

Tang Zhongbai stayed at home today, sitting at his desk writing down the guests to be invited to the banquet.

Many people in the county knew that Jiang Muxia was his fiancée.

All the important people in the county have been invited, and the banquet will be held at the Lai Ju wine house of the Cao family in the west of the city, and it is expected that more than a dozen tables will be prepared.

When Jiang Muxia told her parents this, their jaws dropped to the ground. She bluntly reminded them that they were collecting ill-gotten gains from the rich families in the county by hosting a banquet, and only after she repeatedly promised not to accept gifts did they let her go.

Tang Zhongbai had a worried look on his face and put down his pen. "Everything is arranged. Now we just need someone to pretend to do something wrong."

None of the people around him are suitable. He poisoned the son of the county chief and the miracle doctor who had just saved the people from the plague in public. The lightest crime this person deserves is imprisonment. With the ability of Grandpa Tang, this person must not live.

His death is just the beginning of the drama. He will be involved in the subsequent events, and his clan will have no chance of escaping alive.

He couldn't kill people for no reason.

"How about finding a rootless criminal in jail?" Jiang Muxia suggested.

"It's too fake, he won't believe it." Tang Zhongbai rejected it outright.

At this time, a man pushed the door open and walked in. "Sir, if you trust me, let me do it, is that okay?"

The two stood up from their stools, looked at the person in front of them, and said in unison: "No."

The person who came turned out to be Feng Baichuan. He had just found an antidote for his daughter. After being separated for so many years, the family of three could finally live together peacefully. He was an innocent outsider and could not be involved.

"Don't refuse yet, just listen to me." Feng Baichuan was firm in his attitude and it seemed that he had made up his mind.

He calmly expressed his thoughts, "I entrusted my wife and daughter to Miss Jiang. They are living in your house, and I am 100% assured. It is because of Miss Jiang's kindness that I can continue to live and see my family. I am content with this life. Now that the girl is in trouble, how can I stand idly by."

"It's fake anyway. The truth will come out one day. Just think of it as me repaying a favor."

"But the price is too high. Once something happens, your life will hang on the edge of a knife and you could die at any time."

Tang Zhongbai, who had been silent, was deep in thought, wondering if there was any good idea that could kill two birds with one stone.

A sigh from Madam Jiang came from outside the window. "Ah, these kids think too much and fall into misunderstandings. The goal has been set, and it will happen when the time comes. What does it have to do with others?"

The two men's eyes lit up, they really had fallen into a misunderstanding.

Jiang Muxia thanked Madam Jiang loudly.

She smiled and said, "No one needs to take the blame this time, and we don't need Uncle Feng to help. No one will be implicated."

Although Feng Baichuan didn't understand, he understood that they could accomplish their task without anyone showing up, so he felt relieved.

At noon on the third day, prominent merchants and wealthy families in the county came to Lai Ju Tavern in an endless stream to congratulate County Magistrate Tang on his fiancée's recognition of her godfather.

The reason why this banquet left a deep impression on the people of the entire county was that a major murder case related to the fate of Suanzao County occurred there.

The people also heard from the waiters in the tavern that the Jiang family did not even have a gift table for receiving gifts, which shows how honest County Magistrate Tang was.

The banquet was lively at first, and everyone had a happy look on their faces. After the recognition ceremony, all the guests sat down.

For a long time, whenever the people in the county mentioned what happened at the banquet, they would still be filled with righteous indignation and stand up for those who died at the banquet.

For Suanzao County, which was suffering from the disaster, the banquet had ten dishes on the table, six hot dishes, four cold dishes and one soup, and the wine was Ganquan drink from Xu's Tavern.

It can be said to be quite rich. Who would have thought that after half a day of drinking, after the head of the Xu family toasted the people at the main table, he turned around and saw one of the protagonists of the banquet, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang Muxia, spit out black blood. After half a cup of tea, she was unconscious. Then, County Magistrate Tang and another protagonist of the banquet spit out blood and died.

What was supposed to be a joyous family reunion banquet lasted just over an hour and turned into a murder case.

No one expected that a happy event would turn into a funeral.

All the guests present were dumbfounded and stood there at a loss as to what to do.

The guests on the second floor were all relatives and friends who were close to Tang Jiang. Who would attack them?

Next time I hit you hard, there will be a blood feud!

By the time Tang San and Tang Si arrived with the officers, the people who came to watch the fun had already surrounded the tavern, making it impossible to get in or out.

The tavern was filled with weeping. Xu Da had Jiang Muxia rushed to the pharmacy on the second floor of the tavern. He checked Tang Zhongbai and Chu Ruo's pulses and announced to everyone with red eyes, "They have no pulses. There is no hope."

He was worried about Jiang Muxia, who was still alive. He knelt three times beside Chu Ruo's body, entrusted the person to Yin Yusheng, and rushed back to the tavern.

Tang San tested all the food and drinks and found none of them were poisonous.

He racked his brains to figure out how this accident happened, how Miss Jiang was poisoned, who poisoned her, and how?

According to the original plan, he put Tang Zhongbai in a coffin and took him home, and sent someone to deliver the news to the county at full speed.

Chu Ruo's coffin was transported to the tavern and a lattice shed was set up.

Jiang Hongxin got the news and hid it from everyone, making an excuse to run away from home to the pub.

She really couldn't believe it. How could her sister, who had good ideas, many thoughts and better kung fu than her, die without a word?
