Heroine: The beginning starts with gambling on the wife with two hundred kilograms of rubbish

The county magistrate's brows were twisted together. At that time, Prefect Ding was still in the same position as she is now.

She knew about what happened back then. After all, it was a big deal. As long as one is an official, even if it has nothing to do with him, he has to find out about such things so as not to offend anyone.

"This happened a long time ago, and everything was handled properly at the time. Tianzi Embroidery Workshop has long been closed for rectification. It was the shopkeeper of Tianzi Embroidery Workshop who did it. The Prime Minister was not aware of it, and it seems that he did not receive any severe punishment. Are you saying that this matter is held against you?"

Song Tingran was very sure, "Yes, sir, the prime minister must have been brooding over this matter, so he took action again many years after the matter had calmed down. He originally wanted to kill me directly, but he knew that something went wrong, so he did this. My people can only find out the general situation, but they don't know what went wrong specifically."

The coroner came from behind and confirmed that these people had indeed committed suicide by taking poison. This secret medicine has never been seen on the market. It is highly toxic and kills people instantly upon contact with blood.

The officials who went to Daniu Village to check also came back and described the situation exactly the same as what Village Chief Zhou said. They also checked Yong'er's injuries. He was still not awake, but the symptoms of the poison were the same as those of the people here.

"Sir, the incident happened very suddenly. Yong'er vomited blood in front of us. We gave him an antidote pill and he was able to save his life. I guess Lu Zhong tricked Yong'er into going out in the middle of the night in order to silence me in public."

"If you want to do this, wouldn't it be better to do it during the day?"

"I really don't know why." Song Tingran looked very painful.

The county magistrate was full of doubts. It seemed that Song Tingran had almost finished what he had to say, so he asked the two men with their hands tied to stand up and answer.

"You two, tell the truth. If you tell a lie, you will know the consequences."

One of them spoke first, "Sir, we are here to arrest Song Tingran. We want to frame her for using the shelter to harm innocent people. We have already sent Lu Zhong here to gather intelligence."

"Go on." The county magistrate said in a cold tone.

"Lu Zhong noticed that someone was watching him, so he drugged the idiot and lured Song Tingran out. We arrived at the right time and exposed the crime together. We arrested Song Tingran openly in front of everyone."

The first person who confessed said this and looked at the second person. She suddenly felt uneasy. Even if she survived now, the prime minister would not let her go when the investigation was carried out.

So, she began to hesitate about what to say next. The second person thought it was her turn to explain, and she also spoke nervously, saying, "Sir County Magistrate, Song Tingran is innocent. It was all arranged by the master."

The county magistrate was still full of doubts. He looked at the second person who gave instructions and asked, "Who is your master?"

The two men looked at each other. It was too difficult to say the word "Prime Minister". At this moment, it felt like no matter what they did, they would end up dead. No wonder before setting off, the leader gave poison to everyone, as a way to repay the Prime Minister's kindness in case of emergency.

However, these two people have no favors to repay, they just want to make a living here, who knew that there would be such a deadly mission.

"Tell the truth!" The county magistrate slammed the gavel, shocking everyone in the room.

"Sir, is there any way to survive?" asked the first person who spoke.

"I have always handled cases impartially. What you said is considered meritorious service. I will give you a lighter punishment if you reply."

"Yes, Prime Minister. She originally wanted to kill Song Tingran directly, but according to Lu Zhong's information, she met Chen Xiangyin, who was already dead, in the Song Family Embroidery Workshop, so she suspended the plan. I heard this from others. I was transferred here afterwards. Then this plan came up. She wanted to take Song Tingran away legitimately, and then she unexpectedly found Chen Xiangyin, which is said to be a great achievement."

This has been made very clear. Song Tingran was afraid that these two people would be harmed, so he spoke before the county magistrate opened his mouth.

"Sir, this case involves the prime minister, and we can't try it in Ping'an Town. I plan to go to Shengjing City to file a complaint. Please send someone to protect us all the way to a safe destination."

The county magistrate did not agree immediately. Instead, he looked at Chen Xiangyuan for a long time and asked, "Who are you?"

"Sir, may I have a word with you?"

"Ah."

The county magistrate and Chen Xiangyuan went to the back alone. He recovered his voice and said, "I am Chen Xiangyuan, Chen Xiangyin is my sister. I came here this time because I found out what the prime minister was doing behind the scenes. Because my sister has a very good relationship with Song Tingran, I came to Daniu Village. Who knew that the prime minister would act so quickly? Please don't expose my identity, otherwise the prime minister will definitely take action again considering this great achievement."

Chen Xiangyuan took out the token of the Duke's Mansion. The magistrate of Xiang County took a look at it and returned it.

"I took office late, but I know about Chen Xiangyin's deeds. He made great contributions to the court. It is said that he died of illness." The county magistrate asked tentatively.

"Well, the empress was deeply saddened and buried with honor. I am a man, and it is inconvenient for me to go out so far, so I changed into women's clothes and traveled, but I also kept it a secret from my family. Please keep it a secret for me, sir."

"must."

Chen Xiangyuan thanked him, then walked out and returned to the lobby first.

The county magistrate was amazed. She had thought too much. This young master of a Duke's mansion came all the way to Daniu Village to pass on information to Song Tingran and even lived in his house. He did not leave even when something happened, but stayed by his side through thick and thin. This was worth pondering.

This matter was urgent, so the county magistrate immediately dispatched a group of people to escort Song Tingran, Chen Xiangyuan and his party to Shengjing City.

Depart that night.

He also wrote a letter, clearly stating all the confessions here, so that when he arrived, he could ask the people over there to start investigating. The rest was no longer within the authority of a county magistrate.

Before leaving, Song Tingran asked the county magistrate to look after her family, as she didn't know whether she would live or die.

The county magistrate agreed. After all, protecting the people's livelihood and safety was her duty.

The road was difficult to travel on at night, and the speed of travel was not fast. There were people from the government office driving the carriage, so Song Tingran and Chen Xiangyuan could rest on the road.

There were only two of them in the carriage. Village Chief Zhou did not follow them and went back to Daniu Village.

"Miss Song, this county magistrate is a really good official. If it were someone else, they might not care if they heard that this matter involved the prime minister."

Chen Xiangyuan and Song Tingran sat on each side of the carriage, keeping their distance.

"Well, if our Ping'an Town develops well, the prefect and the county magistrate will both be honest and good officials."

After saying this, the two fell silent. With the escort from the government office, no one stopped them once they left Ping'an Town. However, they did see another group of people walking along another road.
