After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

Hearing the master's question to her, Shen Ruoyan raised a calm smile and looked at Lu Yan habitually.

Lu Yan was sitting on the Grand Master's chair expressionlessly, with the strong attitude of a superior, but when his eyes touched Shen Ruoyan's, Lu Yan suddenly flashed a smile, and his whole face softened.

Shen Ruoyan was afraid of being caught, so she quickly pretended to be calm and looked away, but her heart was pounding.

Deliberately ignoring Lu Yan's existence, Shen Ruoyan focused all her attention on the case.

She asked the master: "You just said that Chun Niang wanted to kill Zhao Tianle because she had troubles with him. But if you apply poison on the cloth, this method is too risky."

"Risk?" Wu Youcai was a little confused, "Chun Niang saw Zhao Tianle coming to buy cloth, so she applied venom on the cloth sold to him. How can this method be considered risky?"

Shen Ruoyan smiled confidently, with a kind of certainty that she was in control of the overall situation.

For her, Lu Yan's arrival was like a needle that calmed the sea, allowing Shen Ruoyan to find her state immediately, exuding confidence in every move she made.

"Let me ask you something. When you go to purchase goods, will you carry the fabric yourself?" Shen Ruoyan asked Wu Youcai.

Wu Youcai suddenly realized that business people like them were of course different from people buying materials for themselves. For them, cloth was just a tool to make money. Because the purchase volume was large, they would only have servants to carry it. As bosses, they were fine. Why do you want to touch the ingredients?

Therefore, if Chun Niang wants to use the poison cloth to kill Zhao Tianle, this is simply a stupid thing.

Moreover, if a servant of the Zhao family dies due to exposure to the poison, then Chun Niang will not only be unable to kill Zhao Tianle, but will also get into trouble for herself.

Even a fool would not do this kind of loss-making business.

Everyone in the hall figured out the reason and fell into silence.

In the end, it was Mr. Zhao who stamped his legs angrily and broke the silence in the courtroom, "Then who is the murderer of my son?"

The county magistrate sitting behind the hall was already dripping with cold sweat. He lowered his eyebrows and complained in his heart about why he was so unlucky.

It was a great joy for a big man like Lu Yan to come to his small office.

How many people in Yizhou are looking forward to meeting Lu Yan, and some even go to Zhoucheng, hoping to be lucky enough to meet this gentleman on the road. You must know that Lu Yan has the emperor's personal order and is in charge of the appointment of all officials in Yizhou. , if you can get Master Lu's appreciation, wouldn't you be able to achieve success in the future?

The pie finally fell from the sky, but he messed it up.

The case has become very confusing again.

If the county magistrate continued to forcibly imprison Chun Niang and the others, he would be wronging good people, but if he just let them go, he didn't know where to start the investigation.

Because I have been living in mud all day long, I have lost even my basic abilities after a long time.

What about getting promoted and getting rich? If Mr. Lu finds out that he is a useless idiot, he probably won't be able to keep this black gauze hat on his head.

In desperation, the magistrate looked at the master on the side looking for help.

The master was also extremely panicked.

He was originally obsessed with money, so he agreed to do things for others.

What the master originally thought was that Shen Ruoyan was just a woman. No matter how noble her status was, she was just a woman with long hair and short knowledge. Why should he be afraid of the woman in the backyard? As long as he was fully prepared, he would definitely be able to force her to reveal herself. 's true identity.

But now, Lu Yan was sitting just a few feet away. The man's natural intimidation made him so weak that he couldn't even stand. He had no intention of analyzing the case and finding out the real culprit.

At this time, it was Shen Ruoyan who took the initiative and said, "I have one last question.

At that time, Chairman Zhao bought all the fabrics in the warehouse. Was every piece of fabric coated with poison? "

Mr. Zhao shook his head and denied, "I have also looked at that batch of materials. Many servants have passed through them, but no one has suffered the same tragedy as my son. However, I will still ask someone to verify it again later."

Shen Ruoyan nodded and continued: "We assume for the time being that the rest of the fabrics are not poisonous, but why are the two pieces of fabrics President Zhao brought to me poisonous?"

"This...?" Mr. Zhao was speechless for a moment.

Everyone in the hall also raised their eyebrows and followed Shen Ruoyan's thoughts, but no one could figure out the reason.

After waiting for a while, when no one spoke, Shen Ruoyan showed a helpless expression.

A voice as cold and clear as jade sounded.

"What does the girl mean, do you want to say that the poison was administered by someone close to President Zhao?" Lu Yan asked.

A light flashed in Shen Ruoyan's eyes.

There was a warmth in my heart. It seemed that Lu Yan understood her thoughts best.

Pretending to be respectful and giving a very formal salute to Lu Yan, Shen Ruoyan said leisurely: "As the Lord said, I suspect that the servant who was with Zhao Tianle that day applied poison to the cloth."

Then she turned around and said to Master Zhao: "You might as well question all the servants that Chairman Zhao brought with you that day. Maybe you can find some useful clues from them."

"Thank you, girl!" Zhao Tianle's father cupped his fists and saluted Shen Ruoyan, "Zhao owes the girl a favor today. If the girl needs it in the future, you can come and ask Zhao."

After Mr. Zhao finished speaking, he planned to go back and investigate.

Seeing this group of people settling the matter on their own, the county magistrate felt that he really couldn't save his face, so he quickly said: "Wait a minute!"

Only then did everyone in the hall remember the existence of such a powerful figure as him, and they all raised their heads and looked in the middle.

The county magistrate was sweating profusely. God knew he just wanted to hide and cry. But with Lu Yan sitting nearby, he could only bite the bullet and said to Mr. Zhao: "I will send someone to follow you back to the house. Take those suspicious people back to the Yamen for interrogation."

Recalling that the county magistrate just found a random reason and wanted to close the case hastily, this attitude made Mr. Zhao no longer trust the county magistrate. He asked without any dignity: "If I hand this person over to you, what can you really find out? Shouldn't you? Maybe he just randomly found a scapegoat to fool me again."

"How could it be?" the county magistrate explained, "I have always been rigorous and conscientious in my work. I just made a mistake just because I was not paying attention. This time I will definitely investigate clearly and find the real culprit who killed Chairman Zhao."

Because of his guilty conscience, the magistrate's voice became lower and lower as he spoke, almost begging Mr. Zhao to give him some face.

In the end, the county magistrate persuaded Zhao Tianle's father to relent and agreed to let people from the Yamen go to his house to take those people back.

However, before the officials entered the Zhao Mansion to arrest people, news came that the murderer had committed suicide out of fear of crime.
