Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

"Brother Li!"

Xin Ye, who was explaining the growth of sweet potatoes to agricultural officials in the fields, turned around when he heard the voice and saw Brother Wang, a yamen runner in casual clothes, running towards him.

When the others heard the voice, they turned their heads and saw that the person who came was in a panic. When they saw Xin Ye stand up to greet him, they also stood up and followed behind him.

"Brother Wang, what happened?"

Wang Yayi panted and said, "Quick, come with me to the Yamen. Your Li Ji Grocery Store was involved in an incident. A customer of the restaurant ate a dish made with chili sauce and fell to the ground on the spot. He was sent to the clinic. The doctor diagnosed that he was poisoned and is now unconscious.

Their family sued the restaurant, and the restaurant claimed that this dish was fine before, but they added chili sauce today to improve it, and it ended up making people sick. So, your father was summoned to the county government office for questioning."

The others immediately became anxious after hearing this, but Xin Ye remained calm.

Can eating chili sauce kill people? Why did it happen today when there were so many people who bought chili sauce?

Xin Ye said to Wang the yamen runner: "Thank you for taking the trouble to come all the way to inform me, I will go back and ask my wife to go back to the county yamen with you."

"Let's go along too." Ren Huaimin and others echoed this. They had no idea how many times they had eaten dishes cooked with chili sauce, so they naturally didn't believe that eating chili sauce would cause any trouble. They were anxious because they were afraid that someone would deliberately frame Li's Grocery Store.

They have all been in the officialdom for many years, so they can still see through this trick.

Xin Ye turned around and saluted the adults: "Thank you, sir."

Wang, the bailiff, didn't know why Yan was specifically called in, but since it was someone else's family affair, he wouldn't say anything.

The group got on the carriages of several adults and quickly rushed to the county government office. At this time, the prefect and the legal advisor were both trying the case in the county government office, and many people were watching the adults trying the case.

Only a few of the onlookers had eaten chili sauce before, so they naturally didn't believe that it could cause health problems. They stood in the crowd waiting for the adults to question witnesses, and they also wanted to step forward to testify.

However, the current claim is not because the chili peppers can harm people, but rather because the restaurant and the patient's family are asking for compensation from Li's Grocery Store because the patient used to like eating this dish in the restaurant and wanted to try it now that the dish has been improved.

Other guests who had eaten this dish were fine, which means there was nothing wrong with the restaurant. The problem was that the patient developed a problem after eating the chili peppers.

After understanding the situation on the spot, Xin Ye and others were speechless. Isn't this the patient's own responsibility?

The magistrate also knew that their request was unreasonable, but considering that many people at the scene had never eaten chili sauce, if he did not give a reasonable explanation, the people would think that they had been bribed by Li’s Grocery Store, which would not be good for either himself or the Li family.

For a moment, he didn't know how to give a reasonable answer, so he was stuck in a stalemate.

Wang, the yamen runner standing by, seemed to be the magistrate's mouthpiece, and explained in a low voice, "You can't just say that you ate the chili sauce and nothing happened, or people will say that the Li family bribed you.

People have a hard time accepting new things, and we will have to promote sweet potatoes and other items in the future, so the reputation of Li Ji Grocery Store cannot be tarnished. With so many concerns, the adults couldn’t think of a suitable solution for a while. "

Yan Yiyi understood the dilemma of the magistrate and others. Their inherent idea was to find evidence to prove their innocence. There was nothing wrong with the food prepared by the restaurant, and the doctor also diagnosed that the patient might have fallen down after eating chili peppers.

The doctor also tasted the chili peppers, and he himself couldn't accept the spiciness. He couldn't guarantee whether an elderly person could accept this level of spiciness, so the answer he came to was ambiguous.

Therefore, this direction is very unfavorable to the chili sauce of Li Ji Grocery Store.

In fact, people can also try the chili sauce on the spot. Many people are terrified by it. How could they risk their lives to prove it?

In fact, solving this problem is both simple and difficult. The difficulty lies in the fact that most people do not understand chili peppers and reject and distrust them from the bottom of their hearts. Only by breaking this breakthrough can the situation be reversed.

Yan Yiyi whispered her method to Xin Ye in Yan Yiyi's ear, then squeezed out of the crowd, ran back to the shop to get a can of chili sauce, went to the steamed bun shop to buy a big bag of steamed buns, and hurried back to the county government office.

Xin Ye took the chili sauce and said loudly, "Sir, I am the young master of Li's Grocery Store. I have evidence to prove that the chili sauce of our Li's Grocery Store is harmless."

The magistrate's eyes lit up, and he immediately invited Xin Ye into the hall as a witness.

"Please help me prepare a plate."

The magistrate immediately gave a look to a yamen runner, who understood and quickly ran to get a clean, empty plate. Xin Ye asked the yamen runner to hold the plate while he opened the jar of chili sauce and poured out a small plate of chili sauce.

The moment the dish was opened, the yamen runner carrying the dish was suddenly struck by the aroma and swallowed his saliva unconsciously.

Xin Ye covered the chili sauce, strode to the side of the lawyer, put the jar on his desk, turned back to the onlookers, took the steamed bun from Yan Yiyi, and asked a yamen runner to move a chair over, put it in the middle, and put the steamed bun on the chair.

Afterwards, Xin Ye tore the steamed bun in his hand into pieces of different sizes and placed them around the chili sauce on the plate. Then he took the plate from the yamen runner and, in full view of everyone, dipped the bun in the chili sauce and put it into his mouth to chew.

After swallowing it, he said, “As you can see, there is nothing wrong with the chili sauce. If anyone suspects that I am cheating, you can try it.

As our father and mother, the county magistrate is willing to be the first to try and verify the authenticity for everyone. "Speaking of this, Xin Ye walked over with the plate.

If the magistrate didn't know that there was really no problem with the chili sauce, he would definitely have resented Xin Ye for plotting against him. In order to show his fairness and closeness to the people, he came down from his lofty position, pulled Xin Ye among the people, and dipped him in the chili sauce.

The bright red chili sauce is bright in color and fragrant. The white steamed buns dyed with chili sauce look particularly tempting with white and red.

The onlookers couldn't help swallowing their saliva as they watched the county magistrate take a big bite of the white steamed bun dipped in chili sauce, then chew it with great enjoyment while swallowing uncontrollably.

The lawyer, whose house was empty of chili sauce, could not help it, so he quickly stood up and came over, performing a live performance of eating chili peppers with steamed buns, just like the magistrate.

Many of the government runners have tried the chili sauce. Although it is a little expensive, since other colleagues have tried it, they have to buy a can to take home and try it. All the runners who have tasted the chili sauce are fascinated by it.
