Those who had stomach upsets were also taken away by the officers and soldiers.

"Anyone else have a stomachache? Come with me."

No one in the crowd stood up.

The other one was obviously the organizer of the riot, but he did not go to the yamen, but walked in another direction.

Jiang Yutong followed quietly.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of an alley.

The man looked around and knocked on the gate when he saw that there was no one around. Soon, a familiar figure came into view. It was him.

The troublemaker took the bag of silver and was about to put it into his clothes when Jiang Yutong knocked them unconscious with two bangs without any hesitation.

Manager Cao was brought into the county government office, and the county magistrate immediately came to the court.

There were a lot of people watching the fun, it was noisy and crowded.

County Magistrate Cui Mingzhi, with a big belly, sat down in the hall and slammed the gavel down. "Who is here, and what's the matter?"

The family member who had just complained of a stomachache immediately knelt down and said, "Sir, please help me. My father had a severe stomachache after eating a seasoning from Cao Ji. Cao Ji sells fake seasonings. You must investigate this matter."

The other people also knelt down and said, "Sir, we also have stomachaches after eating Cao Ji's seasoning. Please help us."

The gavel rang loudly again. "Cao Kangping, do you have anything to say?"

Cao Kangping also knelt down and said, "Sir, our MSG is safe and will not cause stomachaches. Please take a closer look."

"Where does your MSG come from?"

"I got this from a woman named Jiang Yutong."

County Magistrate Cui asked loudly, "Is Jiang Yutong here?"

Jiang Yutong, who had just rushed in from outside, said in a loud voice, "I'm here."

"Bring it up."

Jiang Yutong knelt straight down beside Manager Cao.

"Do you know when I will recruit you?"

Jiang Yutong pretended to be ignorant and said, "I don't know."

County Magistrate Cui recounted the complaint and asked, "Where did you get this MSG?"

"This is something women get from wheat and it adds flavor to food."

"Is there a record?"

Jiang Yutong breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Xiao Yifeng had reminded her at that time and had arranged for someone to help her process the document quickly. Otherwise, today's matter would be difficult to resolve. In the time-travel novels she had read before, there was never any mention of the need to register the products. Later, she carefully studied the current laws. If there are safety problems with food, the serious case is beheading, and the minor case is imprisonment for one year.

Jiang Yutong took out the document from his lapel and said, "Yes."

County Magistrate Cui took the documents and found they were indeed complete. He recalled what his wife had whispered in his ear the previous night, "This is a very simple case. Ning Zhengqing's ex-wife made and sold seasonings without any documentation. If anything goes wrong, you won't be able to escape responsibility."

I thought it was just a formality, but I didn't expect that this peasant woman was well prepared.

Magistrate Cui accepted the document and asked, "But now that I've had stomach upsets due to your food, do you have any explanation?"

Jiang Yutong said, "I know a little about medicine. Can I take your pulse?"

County Magistrate Cui agreed. Jiang Yutong first approached an elderly man in his fifties and asked, "This man has a sluggish pulse, indicating insufficient Yang Qi. I wonder if he has cold limbs or is afraid of the cold?"

The old man was dragged here by his own son, who said that he had accepted money from others and just had to pretend to be sick. Hearing Jiang Yutong's accurate description of his daily symptoms, he felt uneasy and dared not answer.

The old man's son said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense here. My father is usually in good health. He is like this because he ate your MSG."

Jiang Yutong ignored his angry scolding and turned to County Magistrate Cui and said, "The old man does not have any symptoms of diarrhea. Please observe carefully."

Then he walked up to a young woman and said in a loud voice, "This pulse is smooth and slippery, indicating abundant blood. Congratulations, you are pregnant."

The woman said sternly, "Nonsense, you are destroying my reputation, you..."

Jiang Yutong was confused, "You're not married yet?"

Someone around who knew the woman shouted, "She's been a widow for three years, how could she be pregnant?"

"Yes, yes."

There are also onlookers who say, "It's obvious that this widow is very flirtatious. I don't know how many people have climbed into her bed."

"People like this deserve to be put in a pig cage."

Jiang Yutong had no idea what was going on and stopped talking right there.

There was a lot of noise and uproar.

County Magistrate Cui slammed the gavel, "Silence, silence."

Everyone quieted down at this point, and the woman just covered her face and cried. She was regretting it so much that her intestines turned green. If she had known earlier, she would not have gotten involved in this matter just for the sake of that little bit of money.

She quickly said loudly, "Sir, I won't sue you anymore. My stomach doesn't hurt anymore."

County Magistrate Cui clapped his hands and said, "You think the court is a joke. How can you come and go as you please? Please come with Doctor Liu from Shengtang."

Doctor Liu came soon and took everyone's pulse, and the result was the same as Jiang Yutong said.

County Magistrate Cui asked, "Do you have any stomach discomfort?"

Doctor Liu held his beard and said, "I am not ready yet."

County Magistrate Cui was completely confused after hearing this. "You bold and unruly people, do you have anything else to say?"

Hearing this, the few people who were only interested in money immediately kowtowed in fear, "Sir, we know we are wrong. We shouldn't have reported a false case just for the sake of money."

"Who ordered it?"

Soon everyone confessed and pointed the finger at a man named Qian.

"Bring it up to the hall quickly."

Jiang Yutong said, "Sir, I wonder if this is the person?"

After saying that, Jiang Yutong shouted outside, "Bring it up."

I saw a man walking in, escorted by two men.

As soon as he came in, the man knelt down. Knowing that the matter had gone wrong, he lowered his head and dared not say a word.

"Send your name."

The man trembled, "My surname is Qian, and my name is Qian San."

The county magistrate asked the others, "Is he the one who ordered you?"

Everyone nodded.

"Qian San, do you have anything to say?"

"I know my crime."

The county magistrate thought about having to face his wife when he returned. None of these people had any experience, so he couldn't protect them even if he wanted to.

"Why did you frame Cao Ji and Jiang Yutong?"

Qian San hesitated and didn't say anything.

Jiang Yutong immediately said, "Sir, I have another important person who may be related to this case."

"Bring it up."

Soon, Zhang Ji's shopkeeper Zhang was brought up. County Magistrate Cui was also shocked when he saw Zhang, and finally understood why his wife knew about this.

Manager Zhang is his wife's nephew-in-law, and this matter has caused a lot of trouble.

Shopkeeper Zhang only remembered that when he was about to give the three taels of silver, he was hit hard on the back of his head and lost consciousness. Now, seeing that the court was full of people, he knew that the matter was exposed. He crawled towards County Magistrate Cui crying, "Uncle, save me."

The call of "uncle" immediately made County Magistrate Cui feel upset. He cursed inwardly, "Idiot."
