I married a playboy at the beginning, and I changed my fate by eating delicious food

When Shen Yanchen's voice sounded, Xu Si felt relieved. He had finally waited for it.

The supervisor was a little panicked, only then he realized that Shen Yanchen had just left and reported to the police.

"I heard that someone was poisoned?" The leading bailiff had a square face and looked like a righteous man.

There were two other yamen runners following him, one on the left and one on the right.

The supervisor greeted him with a smile, "It was just a minor poisoning. He is much better now. Don't worry about it, sir. We can just negotiate it ourselves."

"Is that so? That's fine too." The three of them said and were about to leave.

"Sir, please wait a minute," Xu Si said.

"What's wrong, girl?"

"The person involved said that he was poisoned by eating food from our stall, but we have never seen him buy food from us. We hope the officials will give us a clear name."

Xu Si bowed, his eyes clear, and spoke in a loud voice.

"What they say is not credible. How could the person concerned not know from whom he bought it?" the supervisor interrupted, feeling extremely nervous.

"Who is the person involved?" The leading yamen runner did not listen to one side of the story, but looked for a breakthrough point on his own.

"It's a villain, also known as Wang Er." Wang Er stepped forward cautiously.

"Are you sure you bought it from this young lady's house?" the bailiff asked in a deep voice, his eyes solemn and piercing.

"Oh, yes." Wang Er was a little flustered and subconsciously looked at the supervisor.

"Why are you looking at him?" The bailiff pressed on, and he instinctively felt that something was fishy from the other party's look.

"I, I was just taking a look." Wang Er said hesitantly with his head down.

"Doctor, are you sure he was poisoned? Do you know why?"

The doctor had treated the patient but had not yet received the consultation fee and had not left. When the official asked him about it, he stepped forward to answer.

“It’s food poisoning, the exact cause is still unknown.

There are also rules for eating. For example, some foods cannot be eaten together because they will counteract each other. Also, some foods are fine for others but will make him feel unwell if he eats them. "

The doctor stroked his beard and spoke slowly.

This was the first time most people heard this statement and they took note of it carefully in their minds.

"Since you said you were eating my meal, do you remember what dishes my family sold today?"

Xu Si asked Wang Er a question.

Wang Er was even more panicked. How would he know if he hadn't eaten it?

"It seemed like there was twice-cooked pork," he tried to recall the dishes on the plates of his co-workers at that time. He seemed to have heard someone say that this dish went well with rice.

Xu Si nodded, "Yes, there is this, what else?"

"Spicy tofu?"

"anything else?"

Hearing Xu Si's question, Wang Er felt that he had guessed two correctly and racked his brains to think of the third one.

“Stir-fried cucumber?”

"Are you sure?" Xu Si raised his eyebrows.

Seeing Xu Si asking this, Wang Er felt that he had said something wrong. He wanted to look at the reactions of the people around him for the answer, but found that everyone was staring at him.

"Stir-fried lettuce or stir-fried cucumber?" Xu Si gave him a choice.

Wang Er was not sure. He seemed to have only seen a green vegetable cut into shreds.

He thought about it, made up his mind and called out, "It's fried lettuce."

Seeing Xu Si smile, a bell rang in his head and he immediately changed his words, "No, it's fried cucumbers. Yes, that's it."

"Sir, you can verify with the people who bought our food. We didn't make tofu or cucumber today."

Xu Si said calmly that by now, the facts were very clear.

"Yes, what Mrs. Xu cooked today is twice-cooked pork, sweet and sour potatoes, and fried celery." someone shouted.

Wang Er was shocked, and there were only two words in his mind: it's over.

No one expected that he would talk nonsense and try to slander Ms. Xu's family.

If he succeeded today, and if Madam Xu and the others never came again, they would not be able to eat such delicious food and would start to blame him.

Wang Er couldn't stand the blow and couldn't accept the disgusted looks from everyone.

Even his friends who were worried about him at the beginning now stayed away from him, not wanting to have anything to do with him. His body went limp and he sat on the ground.

Xu Si was very happy. The sweet and sour potatoes she made today, when cut into small pieces, looked about the same size as the tofu she made every day, and the color was the same red.

She bet that if you looked at it from a distance, you wouldn't be able to tell whether it was spicy tofu or sweet and sour potatoes.

When she heard him say it was spicy tofu, she didn't rush to refute him, but deliberately led him to choose between two non-existent options.

During this time, he even deliberately smiled to make him think that he had understood his thoughts.

Shen Anyi and the others were relieved at this moment.

"Achen, when did you go to find the bailiff?" Lou Yuexin asked.

They were very nervous at that time and kept paying attention to the situation on the opposite side. Except for Shen Anyi and Shen Jingchuan who reacted quickly and noticed his departure, no one else noticed.

"It was when the supervisor asked Wang Er to speak that Xu Si asked me to go." Shen Yanchen was a little proud at this moment. If he hadn't called the yamen runners in time, they might have been forced to admit it.

Fortunately, he liked to wander around before and knew where the yamen runners usually appeared. Before he arrived at the government office, he found three yamen runners.

Lou Yuexin patted his arm with relief.

"Wang Er, what else do you have to say?" the bailiff said coldly.

Wang Er's face was pale at this moment, even weaker than when he had just been treated, and his eyes were looking forward blankly.

"You'd better confess the truth. You will be punished for slandering others. You will be punished with 50 strokes of the cane and one year in prison." The bailiff said coldly.

In this dynasty, spreading rumors and slander were very serious. If such laws were implemented in modern times, I believe many tragedies would not happen again.

When Wang Er heard this, he was like being poured with cold water, and he immediately woke up and shouted, "I was wrong, I have said it all, I hope the official can give me a lighter sentence because I took the initiative to plead guilty.

The supervisor forced me to say this, otherwise he would not let me work. He also said that if I said I bought it from Miss Xu, he would help me get 100 coins as compensation. I was confused at the time."

His face was full of regret and he looked very pitiful, but no one sympathized with him.

When Xu Si was questioning Wang Er, the supervisor was restrained by the yamen runners and blocked behind him.

Now, after hearing Wang Erpan bite out his own words, he smiled coldly, "If you are truly kind, you will not agree to my threat."

Seeing the supervisor being caught, the old woman among the four people became anxious and said, "Why did you arrest my son? Even if it wasn't their family, our family didn't poison him."

Everyone understood. No wonder the supervisor wanted to slander Madam Xu and the others. It turned out that they were a family, and he wanted to exonerate his family.

Seeing that she didn't look like she was lying, everyone was very confused. The doctor looked into their wooden barrel.

"It should be the unripe beans that caused the poisoning."

"I've eaten raw beans before and nothing happened?" someone in the crowd asked.

"Raw beans and cooked beans are fine. Only the ones that are neither raw nor cooked are poisonous." The doctor said with a smile.

"Besides, the wall of this barrel is too dirty. In another month, when the weather gets hot, I'm bound to get an upset stomach."

"We don't know. You know, unripe beans can cause poisoning. We definitely wouldn't do that," the four people explained hurriedly.

“Even if you didn’t mean to do it, you caused harm to others.

Come with me, and when we get to the yamen, the county magistrate will come and judge you." The yamen runner said in a deep voice.
