Jiaojiao Food Shop.

There are a lot of guests today, so many that it's abnormal.

There were so many that even Jing Qizhi, who was usually carefree, became suspicious.

When he came in to serve the noodles, he asked Li Yujiao, "Sister Jiao, these people are all strangers. They don't look like merchants. They eat so fast, as if they haven't eaten for many days."

Li Yujiao also had a bad feeling.

But you are opening a business, people come here with money to eat, you can't stop them from eating, right?

All we can do is try to find ways to deal with them.

Sure enough, after eating the noodles, these people all covered their stomachs and shouted: "Ouch my stomach, ouch ouch..."

Then they ran outside the shops and shouted, "Help! This shop is poisoning people!"

A dozen people shouting outside naturally attracted a lot of people.

Before Li Yujiao and others had time to think of a solution, a group of policemen from the yamen rushed out.

The head of the police asked, "Who is causing trouble here?"

The group pointed at Li Yujiao's shop and said, "This is a shady shop. They want to drug us!"

Jing Qizhi quickly protested: "No, our store never does this."

But the police chief had already issued an order: "Arrest everyone in this store!"

Seeing that the runners were about to arrest people, Li Yujiao and Jing Qishan shouted at the same time: "Let's see who dares!"

"Wait!"

People in this era are afraid of officials, and they are afraid of anyone wearing a uniform.

So when they heard that the officers were coming to arrest them, Wang Erhua, Jing Qishan and Wang were so frightened that their legs were shaking and they couldn't utter a word.

Now when Li Yujiao and Jing Qishan roared, they immediately looked towards the couple.

When Chief Constable Wu Xing'an heard that someone was going to resist arrest, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Are there still unruly people who dare to resist arrest these days?

Wu Xing'an turned around and saw a man and a woman standing at the door of the shop. The man was tall and strong, with a strong aura, and the woman was slim but upright and heroic, neither humble nor arrogant.

Wu Xing'an couldn't help but take a look at the sign on the shop. He didn't expect that such a talented person could be found in such a small noodle shop!

Especially that man, his aura seemed even stronger than that of the county magistrate, like the governor from the capital.

It took Wu Xing'an a while to react. He was obviously the captain of the police and these two men were just civilians. He had nothing to be afraid of.

So he cleared his throat, straightened his back, and asked, "Why can't I catch it?"

Li Yujiao said, "My shop has been open for more than four months, and there has never been a case of diners being poisoned. Today's facts are really strange. Your Excellency might as well investigate it thoroughly before ordering the arrest."

Wu Xingan said: "Aren't I just arresting you and taking you back for investigation?"

Jing Qishan sneered, "Catch him and investigate? By then the evidence will be long gone, how can we investigate?"

Wu Xingan said: "We are following orders. If our superiors tell us to arrest someone, we will arrest him! Please come with us!"

Jing Qishan sneered again: "The people that the higher-ups asked you to arrest should only be Jing Qishan and Li Yujiao, right?"

Wu Xingan did not deny: "Indeed, the focus is on..."

Before Wu Xing'an could finish his words, he found himself trapped by Jing Qishan's trick.

They had just arrived here and had not interrogated who was responsible in the store, but they knew the names of Jing Qishan and Li Yujiao. Isn't this trying to cover up the truth?

The onlookers probably understood it and started discussing:

"We've been open for so long, and there's never been a case of anyone poisoning us. How come these people were poisoned as soon as they arrived today?"

"Being targeted, right? Think about the restaurant across the street a few days ago. It was obvious that they were trying to steal our business, but unfortunately they failed."

"Is this going to be a big one again?"

The people are afraid of the officials, but the officials are also afraid of the people's rebellion. Wu Xing'an knew that he could not let public opinion stand on Jing Qishan's side, so he ordered the people to be taken away quickly.

However, at this time, someone else shouted: "Doctor He is here!"

As soon as He Mengran heard that someone was poisoned in Li Yujiao's shop, he rushed over in a hurry.

After he came over, he took a quick look at the scene, and then said to Wu Xing'an, "Sir, poisoning should not be treated lightly. Why don't you let me take a look at what kind of poison they have, and see if it is related to the food in Li Yujiao's shop? How do you do that?"

But Wu Xing'an's mission was not like this. His mission was to catch people.

Just as he was about to order the arrest, Jing Qishan had already dragged a poisoned person in front of He Mengran and said, "Please ask Doctor He to check!"

Then Jing Qishan said to Wu Xing'an: "These people are in this state, so let's cure them first and then take them back for questioning."

The people around him also echoed: "Yes, these people are vomiting and vomiting. What if they die on the way if they are not cured?"

Wu Xingan couldn't change the public opinion, so he said, "Then go see the doctor first."

No matter what, the county magistrate will always find a way to punish this couple.

While He Mengran was examining the patients, Li Yujiao was also checking on the conditions of these people.

The intestinal colic, coupled with vomiting, was obviously caused by the drug being given beforehand.

She squatted in front of a man who looked like he was in great pain, and said seriously, "You are so stupid. You sacrificed your own body to do things for others. Do you know that once this poison enters your body, you can only live for another month at most?"

The man was immediately frightened. He held his stomach and said nervously, "You're talking nonsense. I just ate some croton seeds. I'll be fine after a bowel movement."

Li Yujiao sneered: "Didn't you see that your companion's lips have turned purple? It's obvious that he was poisoned!"

"What do you know? You're not a doctor."

"Why don't you ask Doctor He if I know any medical skills?"

Meng Heran was right beside her, and after hearing what Li Yujiao said, he said, "Her medical skills are better than mine!"

This man was even more frightened. He looked at his companions around him and saw that they were all holding their stomachs. Their lips seemed to be really purple. He couldn't help but say, "Then please save me. I don't want to die..."

The people around were also frightened. One of them said, "We are beggars in the city. Someone gave us money..."

He was about to continue, but was interrupted by Wu Xingan: "Shut up!"

Wu Xing'an was afraid that these people would continue to talk nonsense, so he could not help but give an order: "Quickly take Jing Qishan and Li Yujiao back for questioning. If they dare to resist, treat them as unruly people and give them thirty strokes of the cane each!"

Three or four yamen runners immediately surrounded Li Yujiao and held her arms.

She couldn't help but look at Jing Qishan, but Jing Qishan shook his head at her, signaling her not to resist anymore.

Li Yujiao shook off the yamen runner's hand and said coldly: "I can walk by myself!"

Perhaps, after arriving at the yamen, Jing Qishan will have a solution?

She didn't know why, but she felt that he had a way.
