It would be great if I could meet the owner of Lai Fu Restaurant and ask him whether Miss Lin went to him to buy soy milk today.

Ni'er suddenly felt confident, greeted her uncle, and then looked at her nose with her eyes and her heart with her nose.

Instead of entering the lobby of the government office, a group of people were in a place called "Shenming Pavilion". Those who had been making noise at the gate were now silent.

The familiar official boots appeared before my eyes. Looking up, I saw that the man was not wearing official uniform, but casual clothes.

A middle-aged man in the crowd, holding his stomach, looked pale. After holding it in for a few times, he finally spoke, "My Lord, my stomach is really uncomfortable. Can you let me use the toilet?"

The man waved his hand, and the bailiff took the man away.

"I'm not the county magistrate. I'm the county magistrate's advisor. You can tell me if you have anything to say."

A young man in the crowd stood up and pointed at Boss Niu, "Master, we all drank his soy milk and got sick. We want compensation."

"Yes, compensation is required."

"I was supposed to go to work today. This will delay my work. You have to compensate me for a day's wages, and the money for the medicine from the doctor at Huichuntang."

Boss Niu didn't expect that the moldy beans would be so powerful. If he added less water, it would actually make people sick after drinking it. It was really a case of good intentions leading to bad results. He should have added more water.

Now so many people have run into problems, and it’s hard to afford the compensation.

Moreover, after this incident happened, no one would come to buy his soy milk in the future. He had no choice but to cut off this way of retreat. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and wiping his forehead with his sleeve from time to time.

The eldest son's wife went to buy soybeans when there were few people around, thinking that she could go back directly after selling them all and not waste any more time.

Who would have thought that after buying the soybeans, the person disappeared, and neither the things were found.

I asked around passers-by, and was inexplicably spat at by someone, "What kind of poisonous soy milk are you selling? You are a black-hearted dealer."

An old man saw that the eldest wife was confused and couldn't get any information out of her, so he pointed her in the direction of the government office and said, "Your husband has been taken to see the official."

The eldest son’s wife suddenly sat on the ground, her eyes blank. The soy milk made her sick, but what could she do? She must pay compensation.

The little money I earn every day is probably not enough to pay for the compensation. Should I go to the government office or go home to ask my mother-in-law to come over? I don’t know what to do.

She suddenly stood up and walked towards the yamen step by step. After all, he was her man and she couldn't leave him here. If she went back alone, her mother-in-law would scold her to death.

The master already understood the situation of this group of people. Seeing that there was still some soy milk left in the bucket, he asked, "Is this the soy milk you mentioned?"

The middle-aged man who had just relieved himself heard the question and took two quick steps, tightening his belt. "Yes, we drank from the bucket."

Boss Niu was so anxious that a bubble appeared in his mouth. He couldn't help but cover his face in pain. He couldn't let them say that. "Master, we drank it ourselves and never got a stomachache."

He called the yamen runners and poured the soy milk in the bucket into several bowls in front of everyone. He gave one bowl to Boss Niu and placed the remaining bowls on the ground. He then caught a few chickens and dogs and fed them the soy milk.

Boss Niu didn't want to drink it. He knew best what kind of beans his family used. However, with so many eyes watching him, especially in the county government office, he dared not refuse to drink it.

I forced myself to drink it, hoping that I wouldn't get an upset stomach and could escape the disaster.

The old lady glanced at the sky outside. According to usual practice, they must have returned. Today her eyelids had been twitching. She comforted herself that she had spent money on consulting a fortune teller yesterday, so there shouldn't be any big problem.

Still worried, he saw the ox cart driver when he walked to the village entrance. He stopped him and asked him why the eldest son and his wife did not take the cart. Could they have been delayed by something?

Instead of going home, I paced back and forth at the entrance of the village. This seemed to help dispel some of the boredom and anxiety in my heart.

Yan Zi knew that Ni'er went to town with her master today, and she asked Lao San to come back at noon. The meal was ready, but there was still no sign of him.

But there shouldn't be any problem for the three of them. They thought about continuing to do some needlework, but they couldn't concentrate, so they decided to take a break.

As expected, Boss Niu's stomach began to hurt, as if someone was twisting his intestines. His face was pale and beads of sweat fell from his forehead to the ground.

He wanted to pretend that nothing was wrong, but he didn't have the energy to do so. He let out a few stinky farts and everyone covered their noses.

His facial features were tightly together. He bent down, and dug his hands into his stomach. He used all his strength to speak in a normal tone, "Master, I... I'm going to relieve myself."

After getting the approval of the lawyer, the yamen runners who had been standing by and could not wait any longer, fearing that he could not hold back, trotted all the way and led him to the toilet.

Boss Niu felt like he would soon be unable to hold back any longer, so he squeezed hard, held his stomach, bent over, pursed his lips, put his thighs together, spread his calves apart, and tried hard to keep up.

This was happening in the county government office, and it couldn't be solved anywhere else. Finally, at the last critical moment, his eyes lit up, and he was so moved that he almost cried. All of a sudden, he felt refreshed.

At this moment, the chickens and dogs were not spared either.

The entire county government office was shrouded in this stench.

After Niu Lao Da released his libido, he only felt comfortable for a moment, and soon his stomach began to rumble again, and that uncomfortable feeling came back.

Ni'er was really worried about her father, so she spoke up at this time, "Master, I think Miss Lin is probably not drinking my soy milk. I hope you can see clearly."

The lawyer felt that something was wrong. If someone was sick from drinking the soy milk from Lai Fu Restaurant, why didn't anyone come to report to the police?

Moreover, Manager Liu of Lai Fu Restaurant also said that he had not seen any servants from the Lin family go to his place to buy things today, so there might be some misunderstanding.

In the end, Boss Niu's legs were so numb that he lost all feeling. When he stood up, he staggered a few times in the toilet and almost fell in. He was saved by the big yamen runner who held him up.

The third brother and Manager Liu stayed in a room in the yamen. They had no idea what was going on outside and could not go out because someone was guarding the door.

He wanted to ask about the situation, but the man knew nothing about it and slammed the door in annoyance. The third brother paced anxiously in the room, while Manager Liu sat there steadily, as if nothing had happened.

The eldest son's wife came to the outside of the yamen. Looking at the solemn and dignified place, she felt a little scared and did not dare to go forward. She kept wandering behind the stone lions.

Boss Niu finally came out of the toilet. This was the truth and he couldn't deny it.

As for Miss Lin's affairs, that was not something that the lawyer could interrogate, so naturally the county magistrate had to come in person.

But before that, the lawyer had already explained the situation to the county magistrate, and Ni'er, Niu Laosan, Manager Liu, and the Lin family's coachman confronted each other in court.
