"How should I know what you murderers are thinking? You just like giving favors and then killing people. Who knows what you are up to?"
Nie Pengyun is still making excuses and confusing right and wrong. It seems that it is time for Lin Ting to make him face reality.
"Your Excellency, I can testify for Madam Lin. Madam Lin is giving out porridge to keep everyone alive. She will definitely not harm us.
I fell ill in the middle of the night the day before yesterday, and it was Madam Lin and Doctor Wan who braved the icy wind and snow to come outside the city to save me and treat me.
How could such people possibly harm us? They are good people and our benefactors."
Hu Zi's mother spoke for Lin Ting with a sad face. Even if it offended Nie Pengyun, she had to speak up. Otherwise, if Lin Ting was taken away by the government, how could they be worthy of their benefactor.
Nie Pengyun: "Master Du, go check it out. Believe me, they must have poisoned it."
Lin Ting waited to see how he would continue his story. "City Lord Nie has been so certain about poisoning the porridge. Does that mean we poisoned the water buckets and then used them to make porridge for the people?"
Nie Pengyun's breathing stagnated. He felt something was wrong. How did Lin Ting know that the poison was in the bucket?
Lin Ting bowed to Du Kangsheng and said, "Master Du, it just so happens that you are here today and can make the decision for me.
In order not to waste your time, I wanted to resolve this matter quickly. This afternoon, I caught a suspicious person and brought him in for questioning, and everything became clear."
Du Kangsheng's major issues today have been almost resolved, and he has now taken control of the people in Yunzhou City.
"Mrs. Lin, bring the person up here."
"Yes!"
Cheng Si waved to his men, and soon two men came up with a man in tattered clothes, followed by a guard carrying a bucket of water.
The man was tied up, and when he walked in front of Lin Ting and the others, he was kicked and fell to his knees.
When he saw Nie Pengyun, the servant knelt down and walked towards Nie Pengyun as if he had seen a savior.
"Young City Lord, please save me quickly! They dare to hit me, but I am yours."
Nie Pengyun can hardly protect himself, is this servant trying to kill him?
Nie Pengyun's shoulders were grabbed and only his feet could move. Looking at the servant crawling towards him, he kicked him down.
"Who are you? I don't know you. Don't recognize me. I'm warning you."
After being caught by Wan Weiran, the servant was forced to drink water from a bucket. It was poisonous water and he would die if he drank it, but he didn't want to die.
"Young City Lord, you must save me. I will do whatever you say."
Nie Pengyun: "Shut up!"
Lin Ting sneered: "Master Du, this person poured a packet of medicine powder into the water we are going to use to cook porridge tonight.
Fortunately, Dr. Wan sensed something was wrong, so we were able to avoid a disaster. Later, we used the clean, unmelted snow to cook porridge.
No one knows about this except me, Doctor Wan and Boss Cheng. I am curious why Young City Lord Nie keeps saying that our porridge tonight is poisonous.
You're still so sure, or did you arrange for this person to poison you, and you want to kill the people outside the city?"
Nie Pengyun: "It's not me, I don't have it."
Lin Ting didn't give him a chance to refute: "The poison in this bucket is raw aconite juice. Once you are poisoned by this, there is no cure.
But this poison has another characteristic. It will not kill people so quickly. Instead, it will first make the poisoned person feel as if his internal organs are being crushed, and pain will spread throughout the body. Finally, his life will fade away bit by bit.
That's why this poison has a name that's even more terrifying than arsenic. And you, Nie Pengyun, actually want to use this poison to harm the people of Yunzhou City. How sinister are you."
"I didn't, it wasn't me..." Nie Pengyun yelled, he refused to admit it.
"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. This servant is wearing tattered clothes on the outside, but his inner clothes are made of excellent fabrics. Only the servants of your City Lord's Mansion would wear this kind of fabric.
At worst, Lord Du is here. We just need to check the household registration of this servant and we will know who he belongs to.
As for the aconite juice, it is even easier to check. Aconite is poisonous and can kill people, but it can also save people. The Dongxia Kingdom has an order that anyone who sells this poisonous substance to a pharmacy must register it.
Young City Lord Nie might not know this, but the doctors in the pharmacy must know. This is against the law, and they dare not ignore it."
After hearing what Lin heard, Hu Zi's mother and the others couldn't believe it. They didn't do anything, they just wanted to survive. Why did the City Lord's Mansion want to kill them? What did they do wrong?
Everyone seemed to understand that Nie Pengyun wanted to use Madam Lin to kill all of them, and finally framed Madam Lin. This was too cruel.
"Nie Pengyun, you are absolutely insane. Your Nie family is not worthy of managing Yunzhou City. Why did you kill us? We are just civilians."
Nie Pengyun couldn't answer. The corners of his mouth and face twitched strangely, perhaps because he was too nervous.
"Heh...why should I kill you, heh...why..."
Nie Pengyun seemed to be frightened and spoke without thinking. Once Lord Du found out about this matter, he would definitely be punished.
It was getting dark, and Shen Qingzhou saw everyone like this, so he stepped forward and spoke.
"Let me tell you why the City Lord's Mansion wants to kill you all, and why you were forced out of Yunzhou City step by step. This is the key.
City Lord Nie didn't allow anyone to beg in Yunzhou City, and since everyone had no food to eat, they could only wait to die.
But in order to solve this dilemma, the men in the family can only sell themselves to work for City Lord Nie.
To the outside world, they euphemistically said they were going to work on the farm, but in reality, once your family members were taken away by City Lord Nie's men, they were not taken to the farm to work, but to Jiufang Mountain."
When it comes to Jiufang Mountain, the people started talking about it. The mountain is very deep and it is said that there is a lot of miasma in the mountain. Anyone who goes there will surely die.
Shen Qingzhou continued, "This Jiufang Mountain is under the management of Yunzhou City, but at the foot of this mountain is a gold mine belonging to the Dongxia Kingdom.
The gold mine is state-owned, but Nie Tian and his son Nie Pengyun took it for themselves. All your family members were taken to this gold mine to mine for Nie Tian.
Nie Tian was afraid that this matter would be exposed, and that you would go looking for your families, so he simply wanted to kill you all, but he couldn't do it, so he thought of letting you starve to death or freeze to death.
But I never thought that my wife would give porridge to everyone to help them, which completely ruined the plan of the City Lord's Mansion and attracted Nie Pengyun's attack.
Now, I want to use my wife to kill you all at once."
