Marry the crippled king and seize the kingdom with space!

Seeing this, Doctor Bai hurried forward and tried to help Village Chief Zhang and his son up.

He said softly, "Please stand up quickly. Don't hurt yourself by bowing like this. If something happens, we will have to treat you."

Village Chief Zhang was so nervous that he almost cried, and he defended himself with a trembling voice.

"No, no, no, but I really didn't poison you!"

"If it's not you, then it must be those villagers? The sweet potatoes are yours, and you roasted them." Wu Yong said angrily.

Village chief Zhang hurriedly explained, his voice trembling.

"Mr. Wu, the sweet potatoes are indeed ours, but we definitely didn't poison them! We are all respectful and law-abiding villagers, how could we do such a heartless thing? Please look carefully!"

When the son of Village Chief Zhang heard his father mention the word "poisoning", his face instantly turned as pale as paper and he stared at Village Chief Zhang with horror.

His eyes were filled with confusion and fear, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Poison? What do you mean by poison? Dad, what did you just say?"

As if he suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation, he did not bother to sort out the ins and outs of the matter, but just kept begging Wu Yong, Li Mao and others.

"No, sir, I really don't know what happened, but no matter what, my father would never harm anyone! I beg you to investigate this thoroughly!"

The father and son knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy.

The villagers suddenly saw this scene and had no idea what was going on, but out of concern and worry for the village chief, they rushed over without hesitation.

"Village chief! What is going on?" a villager asked anxiously.

"Sir, what exactly happened here?" another villager echoed.

Someone else shouted, "Yes, sir, no matter what happened, please investigate it thoroughly!"

"Yes, yes, sir..."

For a moment, the villagers were talking at once, and the noisy voices made Li Mao feel very irritated.

He really couldn't stand this chaotic scene, so he raised his voice and shouted at Village Chief Zhang.

"Village Chief Zhang, please get up first. We didn't say that this matter must have anything to do with you."

Then Li Mao turned to the villagers, waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and spoke loudly.

"Okay, okay, you all go back first, we will get to the bottom of this matter."

Village chief Zhang’s son hurried forward and helped him to stand up slowly.

Seeing this, the villagers felt uneasy, fearing that the yamen runners would get angry and bring them more trouble, so they quietly retreated to their seats one by one.

Village Chief Zhang's son finally couldn't help it, and quietly approached his father and asked in a low voice: "Dad, what's going on?"

Village chief Zhang took a deep breath and slowly told his son the whole story.

After hearing his father's words, Village Chief Zhang's son was struck by lightning. His face turned pale, his legs became weak, and he could hardly stand.

His heart was beating like a drum, his throat was dry, and there was only one thought in his mind: This was simply pinning the crime of murder on them!

Wu Yong looked at their expressions and they didn't look like they were lying.

However, the truth was so puzzling - just because he ate that piece of baked sweet potato, his stomach began to hurt severely.

Apart from this, he did not come into contact with any other suspicious food.

He thought to himself that it was impossible for Village Chief Zhang to have the motive to poison him, but at the same time he was confused about his sudden poisoning and couldn't figure out why.

Li Mao, who was standing by, held the same view and believed that this matter had nothing to do with Village Chief Zhang and others.

For a moment, I was in a dilemma, not knowing who poisoned me and how.

Doctor Bai stepped forward and carefully examined the wound on the forehead of Village Chief Zhang’s son.

Village chief Zhang asked anxiously, his face full of anxiety and his eyes full of heartache for his son.

"Doctor Bai, how is my son's injury?"

Doctor Bai smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, it's nothing serious. Just be careful not to touch water when you go back."

"Okay, okay, thank you Doctor Bai!" Village Chief Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him repeatedly.

Ye Zirou, who was standing aside, observed all this silently, but still didn't know who poisoned her.

She thought to herself: I didn't expect this thief to be so cunning and to be able to hide himself so well without revealing even a trace of his tracks.

Although toxins were indeed detected in the roasted sweet potato, it was definitely not done by Village Chief Zhang and his men. He had no reason to poison Wu Yong.

Moreover, these roasted sweet potatoes were brought by Village Chief Zhang and the villagers, and they were also the ones who roasted them.

If they chose to poison the roasted sweet potatoes and then feed them to Wu Yong and the others, it would undoubtedly be a trap for themselves. Who would be so stupid as to poison them?

What’s more, everyone ate the roasted sweet potatoes, but Wu Yong was the only one who got into trouble. What on earth happened?

Unless... this roasted sweet potato was not originally meant for Wu Yong, but by some coincidence, Wu Yong happened to eat the poisonous one.

So, who is the real target of the poisonous sweet potatoes?

Ye Zirou did not see anyone poisoning the person with her own eyes, and she still doesn't know who the person hiding in the team is.

Are he and the poisoner the same person?

This series of questions shrouded Ye Zirou's heart like a fog, causing her to fall into deep thought.

Although she is still unable to confirm who poisoned her, she is sure that it was definitely not Village Chief Zhang.

After all, people's expressions don't lie. Psychology is a required course in training, and Ye Zirou can still see this.

There was nothing unusual on Village Chief Zhang's face, so it was obvious that he could not be the one who poisoned the person.

So she didn't want to see Li Mao and Wu Yong harassing Village Chief Zhang and others.

Ye Zirou said coldly: "I didn't say it was about the sweet potatoes, what are you arguing about?"

After hearing this, everyone turned to look at her, their eyes full of disbelief, as if saying: Do you know what you are talking about?

Li Mao asked first: "Miss Ye, didn't you say Wu Yong was poisoned?"

"correct."

"Then didn't you ask him what he had eaten?"

"That's right."

"Then how can you say it's not poisoned by eating sweet potatoes?"

"It's definitely not the poison in the sweet potato."

Doctor Bai was impatient. Seeing them talking back and forth, he couldn't help but interrupt them directly: "No, Madam, what do you mean by that?"

Ye Zirou replied calmly: "I said he was poisoned, but I didn't say he was poisoned by the sweet potatoes he ate."
