Nie Pengyun smiled, and his smile was very confident.
"You are a bunch of ignorant women. This Lin wants to harm you. She is trying to kill you, and you don't even realize it.
Didn't you feel uncomfortable after eating the porridge? Did you feel nausea, weakness, and dizziness?
No one had the feeling that Nie Pengyun described. They just knew that the white rice porridge that Lin Ting gave them was the best food they had eaten in the past few years.
"Thank you for your concern, Young City Lord. We are in good health and Madam Lin is also fine. Please go back. We are fine." said Hu Zi's mother.
but......
How could this be possible? How could nothing happen? He had clearly seen his men pour the poison into the bucket.
Nie Pengyun turned around to look at the bucket over there. There was no water in the bucket. They had clearly used the water in the bucket to cook porridge, so how could they not be poisoned? The poison must not have taken effect yet.
"Come here, serve a bowl of porridge to my dog. If my dog is poisoned, none of you can escape."
One of Nie Pengyun's servants picked up a bowl and spent a long time in the pot to get half a bowl of porridge.
Everyone looked at Nie Pengyun's local dog, which had eaten up half the bowl of porridge. After finishing the porridge, the dog suddenly went crazy, looking extremely fierce, and kept barking.
The dog's reaction also made Nie Pengyun ecstatic.
"Have you seen this? Even dogs are poisoned after eating this porridge. This porridge is poisonous, this porridge is poisonous..."
"Now you see the true face of that woman, right? She wants your life, and you're still trying to protect her. If the poison takes effect, neither of you will survive."
Lin Tingqing smiled coldly. She walked to Cheng Si from behind and tightened her large and heavy outer robe.
The look he gave Nie Pengyun was something that no one could ignore: "Young City Lord, you keep saying that I poisoned the people of Yunzhou City. What's your basis for this?
Besides, you care so much about the people of Yunzhou City, so why don’t you care about them when they are hungry and cold?
Also, didn’t you say they were poisoned? You just told everyone they were poisoned with your mouth, but why didn’t you bring a doctor over to take everyone’s pulse and get some antidote?
It seems that you don't really care about the lives of the people in Yunzhou City? Then what is your intention in coming here this time? "
Lin Ting's questions stumped Nie Pengyun, and he couldn't answer a single word.
He was the one who poisoned her, so of course he knew it, what proof did he need? But he couldn't say it.
Besides, he didn't know why the poison hadn't taken effect for so long. He was waiting for the people outside the city to die. How could he possibly ask a doctor to come here to save them? It was a joke.
"Young City Lord, Madam Lin is right. Since you are the Young City Lord, you knew that everyone drank the poisoned porridge. You brought guards with you but not doctors. This seems unreasonable. You are the Young City Lord of Yunzhou City who loves the people."
Cheng Si added fuel to the fire, not afraid of getting into trouble at all. The Nie family wanted to establish a good image among the people of Yunzhou City. They wanted to have it all, but there was no such good thing that came so easily.
"You... you are in charge, Cheng Si, don't forget, you are from Yunzhou City. Don't regret offending me."
Nie Pengyun was speechless and wanted to tear Cheng Si's mouth apart. Once he dealt with the group of people outside the city, Cheng Si would not have an easy time either.
Cheng Si also understood that according to Nie Tian and Nie Pengyun's style of doing things, they would not let him go later. Not to mention the future, just in the past two days, the city lord's wife took the lead in dealing with his Hua Yan.
Business has declined significantly in the past two days, and they have already taken action against him.
"It's still unknown who will regret today. Young City Lord, just wait and see."
Nie Pengyun was furious and rushed forward to hit someone, but fortunately a servant next to him held him back.
"Young City Lord, Young City Lord, please don't be angry. These are people who are about to die. They will suffer soon. Also, people are about to die. There is no need to be taboo in your words in front of these dying people."
Nie Pengyun suddenly realized that these people were going to die soon and there was no need for him to pretend.
"A bunch of lowly people, let them die, saving them is simply a waste of this young city lord's money.
But you killed someone in my Yunzhou City, so I, the Young City Lord, must take care of this matter.
Come, arrest Lin and the others, as well as Cheng Si, his accomplice. Bring them all to the dungeon. I want to interrogate them personally."
Hu Zi's mother and the others never knew that words colder than ice and snow would actually come from the mouth of the young city lord of Yunzhou City.
They are so disregarding of human life that I don't even know if the man in my family is still alive after working under them.
There are many guards in the Nie Mansion. If a fight really breaks out, the people brought by Cheng Si may not be their match, and Lin Ting will not let them succeed.
"Wait a minute, the Young City Lord wants to arrest me. You need evidence to do so. Also, you are not an official and have no right to interrogate anyone. If you forcibly take us away, can you bear the consequences?"
Nie Pengyun didn't know Lin Ting's identity, but how much ability could a woman have? She just relied on some money to come here to please people.
"Bah! In Yunzhou City, my Nie family has the final say. Even if the king of heaven comes, he can't control my Nie family."
"Really? Then when you were about to come and arrest us, didn't you notice that one of us was missing?"
Lin Ting reminded Nie Pengyun and waved his hand to let the guards not move. It was said that his men came to report that among the group of people, in addition to three grooms, there were two men and one woman.
There is only one man here now, and this one is surnamed Lin. Her husband is missing, and it seems that she hasn't seen her husband the last time she came here.
"Humph! Tell me, where's the other one?"
Lin Ting spoke calmly, "My husband went to Zhangzhou early yesterday morning. Now, he should be coming here from Jiufang Mountain with the prefect."
This sentence may be unremarkable to others, but the three words "Jiufang Mountain" are a fatal blow to Nie Pengyun and Nie Tian.
There was a gold mine discovered by their family. His father did not report it to the government, but took advantage of their family's management rights in Yunzhou City to dig it privately and claimed it for himself.
They used the strong men of Yunzhou City to sell their bodies to mine, just because they didn't want to be discovered.
This is also the reason why the City Lord's Mansion wants to kill these people outside the city. They have relatives there. If these people go looking for them and find a gold mine, it will be a disaster.
Now, these untouchables outside the city don’t know about it yet. If the prefect of Zhangzhou finds out first, it will be a serious crime that will result in the execution of nine generations of their clan.
Nie Pengyun's legs were weak and he couldn't even stand steadily. It was obvious that he knew about the gold mine on Jiufang Mountain.
