Traveling through ancient times

"Master, something bad has happened..."

As soon as dawn broke, Liu Dacheng's second son Liu Wu hurried over and said something to the housekeeper Xu Wenhua!

Xu Wenhua was so anxious that he ran to Gu Dalian's door without even picking up his shoes!

The two maids, Yuzhu and Dahan, helped their master comb her hair before opening the door!

"Uncle Xu, speak slowly:"

Gu Dalian drank a cup of warm water mixed with jade liquid and said slowly!

"Master, more than half of the chickens in our orchard died overnight. Liu Wu said it seemed like they were poisoned!"

Gu Dalian frowned and raised his hand and said, "Go and have a look!"

The orchard was littered with dead chickens, and some of the living chickens had blood coming out of their mouths, eyes, noses, and genitals.

Some chickens had bruises on their bodies and whites of their eyes.

Some chickens also have an obviously depressed mental state and a decreased appetite. In severe cases, the chickens cannot even stand.

Liu Dacheng and his son's faces turned purple with anger. They didn't know who was so cruel to poison the chicken to such an extent!

Feng Shuangshuang hadn't started work yet. Her eyes were red and she was cursing:

"Who the hell is it that actually poisoned me? I curse your ancestors for eighteen generations, and hope they will never have any descendants and never be reincarnated!..."

There were more than 40 people in the house, including maids, servants, and guards. A dozen of them were left to block the entrance and exit of the orchard, and the rest went back to their respective duties!

"Xu Xiuhai, ride on Taxue and go report the case!"

An hour later, Lin Shiyu, Wang Jie, the chief clerk and a group of yamen runners arrived!

This is a malicious poisoning case of extremely vile nature!

Lin Shiyu and his companions entered the orchard and searched for clues in sections!

Wang Jie was the first to discover the situation!

"Sir, what do you think this is?"

I wrapped some rice bran in a handkerchief!

Liu Wu frowned when he saw it:

"The boss said that we don't need to worry too much about free-range chickens. We have never fed them rice bran!"

"Come on, take us to see where we found it!"

A few people went back to the original place. There was a large area with dots of rice bran, and there were also large groups of dead chickens nearby!

Gu Dalian looked carefully and suddenly found that one footprint was particularly obvious.

The neat footprints extended to the base of the gable, and under the wall there was a thick log more than two meters long rolled to the side!

Because the wall was originally built on the outer edge of Yingdang Mountain, the workers were required to build it to a height of three meters, and ordinary people could not climb up!

But the appearance of this piece of wood is a little strange!

Lin Shiyu looked towards the corner!

Gu Dalian jumped directly onto the wall. There was no support outside, but Gu Dalian could still vaguely see traces!

There were obvious footprints on the wall, and he jumped out of the wall lightly!

There is a big tree outside the wall. If it were a wild beast, it would definitely not be able to climb up.

But if a person jumps out with force, an ordinary person can just climb up the thick branches!

The same is true in reverse. The tree outside is as thick as a person's arms, with branches growing everywhere and some of them have been trampled and broken. One of the branches is as thick as a thigh and just extends into the wall!

Qi Huli jumped out next!

"Master, the person should have jumped in from here!"

"There are footprints here. I'll follow them and see where I'm at."

Gu Dalian nodded!

"Sir, there are footprints here!"

Wang Jie shouted from the inner wall!

Gu Dalian went back inside and looked in the direction of Wang Jie's finger with Lin Shiyu.

These should not just be footprints, but also one and a half handprints. Gu Dalian sneered and had an idea in his mind!

I remember watching TV in the past where the police would solve a case by making models out of the criminal’s hand and footprint prints to keep as evidence!

Gu Dalian had an idea and immediately bought the materials and made rubbings of his hand and foot prints!

The people standing by widened their eyes!

Lin Shiyu: Dalian girl always has new and unexpected things!

Wang Jie: No wonder the adults have such a special attitude towards Miss Gu!

Wang Zhubu: It is understandable that Miss Gu became popular in Shannan County in a short period of time!

The dead chickens have been collected. Fortunately, the weather is still quite cold, so there is no need to worry about them stinking!

Looking at the thousands of dead chickens, everyone sighed. Who was the evil-hearted person who could do such a cruel thing?

How much fried chicken is gone!

How much money has been wasted!

Everyone has different thoughts!

When Gu Dalian first entered the garden, she had already mixed the antidote with some jade liquid and put it into clean water, and asked Liu Dacheng and others to feed all the living chickens and put them all in cages!

After a while, the chicken gradually regained its spirits and stopped vomiting!

And Qi Huli also came back!

"Master, I just followed the footprints to a house and asked around. I found out that the family had just been released from prison not long ago..."

"oh?……"

Gu Dalian is so busy, how can she remember who has been to jail?

"Whose family is it?"

"There are only two Zhang dogs left!"

Gu Dalian frowned. It was said that Zhang Gousheng and his wife were sentenced to exile. Why were they released now?

"Brother Beauty, how can the exiled people come back?"

Lin Shiyu was also very surprised and hurriedly ordered:

"Captain Zheng, take your men and follow Miss Qi to Zhang Gousheng's house to arrest him!"

Very quickly, Captain Zheng and his runners brought the disheveled Zhang Gousheng and his wife here!

Behind them was their son, with tears in his eyes. Zhang Pidan, who had become darker and thinner, no longer had the arrogance he had in the past. He cried:

"Don't take my parents away, they have become better!"

There are very few idle people in the village now, and few come to watch the fun. Only a few sour old women who like to gossip followed, and among them was Zhou Da Nv!

"Tsk, arresting people without any evidence, it's amazing to have a backer!"

"Auntie, don't talk nonsense, or you'll be arrested too!"

"Tsk tsk! Look at this kid Pidan. His parents haven't been here for two days and he's already in jail again. How pitiful!"

"Yes, yes, now this is called collusion between officials and businessmen, and the people have no place to appeal for grievances!"

……

A yamen runner heard this, drew his sword and shouted:

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll arrest you and punish you for fabricating stories!"

The cold knife light and the deafening shout frightened several people so much that they all shrank their necks, as if the few pounds on their necks would turn into a ball rolling on the ground in the next moment!

Lin Shiyu sat on the wooden stool brought out by Liu Dacheng, with a dignified look on his face!

"Zhang Gousheng, did you poison the Gu family's chicken?"

Zhang Gousheng was filled with anger and glared at the county magistrate in front of him with hatred!

"You can kill me or chop me up as you please, stop asking useless questions!"

Lin Shiyu sneered:

"It's okay if you don't answer. The evidence is there, you can't escape the guilt!"

"Tell me, how did the man who was supposed to be exiled escape?"

silence!

"You leftover bitch, you say..."

The leftover woman tilted her head and looked at her son, feeling conflicted. As soon as she was caught, she knew: It’s over, there’s no going back!

The poor son lost a lot of weight in just half a year. Pidan said that his aunt used to take care of him all the time, but later on she gradually stopped paying attention!

Fu Yingzi also took care of him more or less at the beginning, but gradually her husband scolded her for being a troublemaker every other day, and she didn't dare to say much!

Later I started selling potato vermicelli, and took on some other things. I made a lot of money going from street to street, and was so busy all day that I had no time to go home!

The son should be happy just because he can have one meal a day, but the wife is worried about everything!

"Sir, I want to confess everything. Can you make arrangements for my son?"
