Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

Lin Xiaoqian held a pill and a cup of water in her hand and said to Sikong Zhenyue, "Lord Sikong, I have an antidote for arsenic here. Please give it to this person."

Upon hearing this, the onlookers immediately erupted in uproar.

"I've never heard of an antidote for arsenic trioxide?"

"That's right. Arsenic is an incurable poison, and countless martial arts practitioners have died from it."

"That's right, young lady, don't talk nonsense. There's no cure for arsenic poisoning."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman immediately grabbed her husband's head and shouted, "You little slut, what do you want to feed my husband? You've already poisoned him, what are you trying to do now?"

Lin Xiaoqian gave her a cold look, which made her shrink back.

The last person who dared to insult her is already in jail.

Sikong Zhenyue looked at Lin Xiaoqian with a worried expression: "Miss, is this really the antidote?"

Lin Xiaoqian pointed with her chin: "He's already like this, do you have any other ideas? If you don't believe me, he's just waiting to die anyway."

Upon hearing this, Sikong Zhenyue gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, let's give it a try."

He took the pills and water from Lin Xiaoqian's hand, ripped away the struggling and crying middle-aged woman, and forced the middle-aged man to swallow them.

Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the middle-aged man.

Time passed second by second, but the middle-aged man remained motionless.

The middle-aged woman started wailing again: "You killed my husband, and now you're insulting his body like this! I'll fight you to the death!"

Just then, the middle-aged man coughed a few times and slowly opened his eyes.

Everyone was shocked.

"This...this really is the antidote!"

"Amazing!"

"There's actually an antidote for arsenic trioxide!"

Lin Xiaoqian smiled and said, "See? I didn't lie to you."

"Where am I?" The middle-aged man's voice was a little hoarse.

Jiang Shuang, with her sharp eyes, noticed that the middle-aged woman, seeing the middle-aged man suddenly come back to life, tried to slip away into the crowd.

He strode up to the middle-aged woman and subdued her with a swift movement.

"Trying to run away after causing trouble?" Jiang Shuang frowned and scolded her.

The middle-aged woman's eyes darted around: "I, I didn't mean to run away. I was just happy to see my husband wake up, so I wanted to buy some tonics."

As a result, the middle-aged man who sat up glanced at the middle-aged woman and said something surprising: "Who are you?"

A look of panic flashed across the middle-aged woman's face. She forced a smile and stammered, "Husband, you've been poisoned and gone mad. You don't even recognize your own wife anymore."

The middle-aged man frowned and said, "I'm all alone, where would I get a wife?" He then looked at the middle-aged woman with disdain.

"I wouldn't even look at you looking like that."

The middle-aged woman was so choked up that she couldn't say a word.

At this moment, someone in the crowd finally recognized the middle-aged man. The man had been poisoned and his face was purple, making him unrecognizable.

"Aren't you Wu Laosan from Wutong Alley?"

The middle-aged man called Wu Laosan looked at the speaker and nodded: "It's me."

Someone in the crowd said, "Oh, it's Wu Laosan! Wu Laosan is very picky. He's over thirty and still hasn't gotten married. Where did he get a wife?"

The middle-aged woman's face turned deathly pale instantly, and her eyes darted around.

Su Hezhou then spoke up: "This woman is disturbing the peace of the capital. Take her to the Imperial Guard and interrogate her severely!"

This time, Su Hezhou brought several guards with him. As soon as Su Hezhou finished speaking, the guards stepped forward and took the middle-aged woman into custody.

"I'm innocent, Your Honor!"

The middle-aged woman struggled desperately.

Suddenly an arrow shot from the opposite side, piercing straight into the middle-aged woman's chest.

"Who!" Sikong Zhenyue quickly chased after the direction from which the arrow had been shot.

The middle-aged woman's eyes widened, her trembling hand clutching her bleeding chest.

Lin Xiaoqian quickly went to the store to get the first aid kit to prepare to provide first aid to the middle-aged woman.

It's true that this middle-aged woman's framing of the shop is despicable, but the reason I want to save her is firstly because it's a human life at stake, and secondly, I also want to know who is trying to harm her.

However, when she brought the first-aid kit, the middle-aged woman was already on the verge of death.

Su Hezhou frowned and said to them, "The archer used internal force, directly destroying her heart meridian. With her heart meridian completely destroyed, even a god couldn't save her."

Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang exchanged a glance, their faces filled with helplessness and anger.

At this moment, Sikong Zhenyue returned with a gloomy expression.

Su Hezhou asked, "Did you catch them?"

Sikong Zhenyue shook his head and said, "That person's lightness skill was excellent. I chased him for a while and then he disappeared."

Su Hezhou pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that the conspiracy behind this matter is quite large, that they are so eager to kill people to silence them."

Jiang Shuang said coldly, "Despicable and shameless, treating human life like dirt!"

Lin Xiaoqian clenched his fist and said, "The more they act like this, the more it shows they have something to hide. We can't let them succeed."

Su Hezhou nodded and said, "It's a pity that the clues have run dry. We can only start by investigating the woman's background. Maybe we can find some clues."

Sikong Zhenyue said, "I will send someone to investigate immediately."

Sikong Zhenyue led his men to carry the middle-aged woman away.

Wu Laosan, who was originally poisoned, learned from the descriptions of the onlookers what had happened to him. He was terrified to learn that he had been poisoned with arsenic and almost died.

He hurried over to Lin Xiaoqian and thanked her profusely: "Thank you so much for saving my life, young lady! Thank you so much for saving my life, young lady!"

Lin Xiaoqian knew that he was just an innocent, unlucky person who had been chosen and suffered an undeserved misfortune.

He shook his head and said, "You're welcome. Just be more careful next time."

"Yes, yes, yes," Wu Laosan repeatedly bowed and thanked him.

Su Hezhou said to Lin Xiaoqian, "May I have a chat with the young lady?"

Lin Xiaoqian knew that the person who could give orders to Sikong Zhenyue must be his superior, so he gestured towards the shop: "Please come in and have a seat."

Su Hezhou nodded slightly and walked into the store.

Lin Xiaoqian turned to the onlookers outside the door and said, "I'm sure you all know what happened just now. My shop does business honestly and would never harm anyone for no reason."

Those who witnessed the entire process naturally understand it clearly.

“Little girls, we all saw it. You are innocent. You have been framed.”

Wu Laosan chimed in, "That's right, it's obvious someone deliberately framed us. The young lady is a good person; she even saved my life."

Lin Xiaoqian said gratefully to everyone, "Thank you all for your trust. Our shop will be open as usual tomorrow. Every customer who comes to eat braised pork trotters will receive a free glass of wine. Welcome to come again."

Regardless of the truth of the matter, it shouldn't affect her selling braised pork knuckle rice, so the public still needs to be reassured.

After saying that, Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang went into the store and closed the door.

Su Hezhou, who was sitting down in the shop, heard Lin Xiaoqian's words and slightly curled the corners of his mouth.

She is truly a clever and quick-witted woman.
