Traveling through the famine years with the system to raise cubs

Chapter 223 You Really Don’t Weep Without Seeing the Coffin 1

County magistrate Duan took Xie Changsan to Lujia Village non-stop. When he arrived at the village head's house, he couldn't help but startled the village head.

The village chief lifted his robe and knelt down. County magistrate Duan repeatedly signaled that there is no need to be too polite, then he glanced at Xie Changsan next to him and said, "Xie Changsan, this is the village chief of Lujia Village. Describe the old lady to the village chief!"

Xie Changsan immediately repeated Mrs. Lu's appearance, and the village chief almost sat down on the ground after hearing it. He asked in a trembling voice, "Master Duan, what's the matter?"

County Magistrate Duan didn't express it in a hurry, but said lightly: "Oh, this Boss Xie is looking for someone. Someone left something in his restaurant a few days ago!"

The village chief was a little puzzled when he heard this lame reason, but he couldn't say anything because of the identity of the other party. Just when he was a little at a loss, he suddenly thought of Jiang Ling, and he quickly said to the county magistrate Duan: "My lord... …Do you need to call An Ruren over?”

County Magistrate Duan didn't want to disturb Jiang Ling at first, but when he thought of Jiang Ling's shallow smile, County Magistrate Duan's heart skipped half a beat for no reason. He quickly glanced around to make sure no one was looking at him. He coughed lightly and said, "Okay, let An Ruren come here too!"

When the village chief heard this, it was as if he had heard an amnesty. Even though the village chief is over 50 years old this year, the soles of his feet were blown by the wind when he started running, and he didn't even take a breath.

"Village... village chief? You... why are you here?" Jiang Ling was a little puzzled when he saw the sweaty village chief.

"Let's go! It's not good! Let's go!" The village head was a little incoherent at this moment, he pointed in the direction of his house and ran away without a trace.

It was rare for Jiang Ling to see the village chief so flustered, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace a little, following closely behind the village chief.

Before reaching the door of the village chief's house, the sharp-eyed Jiang Ling saw County Magistrate Duan, and Jiang Ling's heart couldn't help but "thump".

"County magistrate Duan? Do you have anything to do today?" Jiang Ling looked tentatively at magistrate Duan and asked.

County magistrate Duan sighed helplessly, and gave Zhao Liu a look. Zhao Liu hurriedly pulled Jiang Ling aside and whispered, "Auntie, take a look at this thing, have you seen it before?"

As he spoke, he took out Xie Chang's three cloth bags containing salt.

As soon as it was opened, the white thing frowned and asked, "What is this?"

"It's salt..." With just two words, Jiang Ling's heart thumped again, and an extremely bad premonition spread throughout Jiang Ling's body.

"What's going on?" Jiang Ling asked with a frown.

Zhao Liu repeated the whole story to Jiang Ling. Jiang Ling frowned more and more. Before he heard the end, Jiang Ling already had a judgment in his heart. It must be a good thing Lu Youren and Mrs. Lu did.

Jiang Ling shook his head helplessly and said: "A few years ago, there was a heavy snowfall in our village. My grandmother knew an ancient recipe for melting snow. It looks like salt and tastes salty, so we call it coarse salt. , In fact, that stuff is highly poisonous, and it is completely different from the salt we usually eat! And this salt looks like it has been reprocessed in the later stage, and the particles in the deicing agent are about the size of a thumbnail!"

Speaking of which, Jiang Ling even drew a comparison with Zhao Liu.

Zhao Liu nodded and did not speak again.The two walked to the magistrate Duan's side again.The village head would be very curious about what Jiang Ling and Zhao Liu said, but since there was still the county magistrate, he could only let it go.

"Village chief, please bring Lu Youren's mother over here, I want the boss to identify her!" Duan County Magistrate said.

The village chief shook his head helplessly. As expected, he couldn't avoid it. He sighed softly and could only pray that Mrs. Lu's troubles would be less serious this time, otherwise the whole Lu family village might be implicated.

After a while, Mrs. Lu appeared in front of everyone with a flustered face.

Before she could react, Xie Chang yelled three times, jumped to the old lady Lu and said, "It's her! It's her! It's the salt this old lady sold me!"

Mrs. Lu looked at the angry village head, the angry Jiang Ling, and Xie Changsan, who was in a strange mood, and immediately rolled her eyes, and then immediately looked at Xie Changsan with a blank expression and said, "My lord, you who is it?"

Xie Changsan looked at Mrs. Lu who had a dull gaze and almost vomited blood out of breath. How could this country woman be so tricky.

He thumped and knelt in front of County Magistrate Duan and said, "It's her, it's her! Your magistrate, Caomin is willing to use his own life to guarantee that it's the salt she sold to me!"

Mrs. Lu knew the consequences of buying salt privately even if she was not stingy on weekdays. She screamed "Ouch" and cried to Xie Chang three times, "Master, I don't know how I, an old woman, have offended you." Oh, you're slandering me like that!"

"Even if I don't understand it anymore, it's impossible to do such a thing!"

Xie Changsan saw Mrs. Lu's ability to turn right and wrong today, which would be hindered by the presence of County Magistrate Duan, otherwise he would definitely jump up from the ground and teach her a lesson.

Without saying a word, everyone looked at Mrs. Lu with different expressions.

The village chief knew what Mrs. Lu was like, and what Xie Changsan said was definitely not false, but after thinking about it, Mrs. Lu was from his own village after all, so he had no choice but to let it go without knowing it.

Jiang Ling frowned. She looked at Mrs. Lu's bad words and said, "Didn't I tell you that that thing is snow-melting agent? How dare you take it home? Do you know that this thing is poisonous and will kill people?" !"

Jiang Ling's words sounded very harsh. After listening to Mrs. Lu, her whole body trembled, but she still quibbled stubbornly: "Mr. Jiang, don't think that you can rogue me casually now that you are a child! What evidence do you have to prove that Is this your snowmelt?"

Seeing Mrs. Lu's expressionless face, Jiang Ling was very angry.

She bought some phenolphthalein powder from the mall while no one was paying attention, and then said to the county magistrate Duan, "My lord, I have a pack of powder in my hand. This powder was also passed down from my grandmother. At the beginning, my grandmother was afraid that we would mess with the snow melting agent and table salt." It was mixed, so I specially made some powder."

"When the salt or deicing agent comes into contact with these powders in the water, the salt will not change color, but the deicing agent will turn purple instead! Duan, you just have to try it out and you will know the truth of what I said!"

After hearing Jiang Ling's words, Mrs. Lu groaned inwardly. She hurriedly said: "No, no, who knows if your powder has been tampered with? There is a bad relationship between us. You want to frame me, don't you?" It's as easy as flipping the palm of your hand!"

Jiang Ling had long expected Mrs. Lu to say such evasive words, so she sneered and said, "It's easy, let the yamen servants fetch salt from my house, the village chief's house, and yours, and we'll see if it changes color." Alright, if you're worried that I'm colluding with the village chief, then you can order the family as you please, and let's borrow some salt in front of you!"

"What do you think, Mrs. Lu?"
