The man's outstretched hand seemed particularly weak due to the trembling. He struggled to take out the potato from the bamboo tube handed to him by Zhang Laoer. He took just one bite and his face suddenly changed. Then he fell to the ground with a bang, like a fallen autumn leaf that was hit, falling helplessly into the dust.

The man traveling with him was a burly man. Seeing the situation, he first pretended to be panicked and supported him, then began to shout loudly, but his voice could not conceal the deliberate exaggeration.

After shouting a few times, seeing that the man still didn't respond, the big man suddenly stood up straight, pointed his finger at Xu Liyun, and said with anger and accusation in his voice: "It's all your fault! My brother ate your potatoes and he is unconscious! You must compensate me, otherwise..."

Xu Liyun was stunned when she heard this, but she was also confused and aggrieved. "You are wrong. That person is obviously weak. How can you simply blame all the problems on our potatoes? Our ingredients are fresh every day, and the cooking process is clean and hygienic. No one has ever gotten sick from this."

"Your potatoes must have poisonous weeds! My brother was already suffering from a cold and was weak. He just wanted to taste some because he was greedy, but he didn't expect to suffer a disaster! You are blatantly harming people!"

The big man's throat became hoarse with excitement, and his words were like a sharp sword, pointing directly at the Zhang family's credibility.

Then he turned around and shouted at the crowd at the top of his lungs: "Everyone, for your own safety, please don't come here again. Their potatoes are poisonous!"

His voice echoed in the air with unquestionable determination.

Most people were skeptical because many of them were regular customers of Zhang's potato stall and had never encountered any problems.

However, today's sudden incident undoubtedly cast a shadow on the Zhang family's business. Some students who were originally curious gradually lost interest in watching and left the scene one after another.

Not far away, the scallion pancake stall owner witnessed all this, and a barely perceptible sneer quietly appeared on the corner of his mouth, that smile was full of complacency and calculation.

The big man shouted and insisted that Zhang's potatoes were poisonous, not giving the other party any chance to explain, which was exactly the result he expected.

The young girl is clever and observant.

She stared at the unconscious man on the ground, and his seemingly companion, who was actually not in a hurry to rescue him, but was only interested in framing him. She had roughly understood what was going on.

There was a hint of coldness in her eyes, and her voice was as clear and sharp as the ice and snow in early spring: "What makes you so sure that he was poisoned? He might have fallen into a coma because of his own cold. And you, instead of rushing to treat your unconscious friend, kept blaming us. Do you have other intentions and come here specifically to blackmail us?"

The big man felt guilty, and a fierce look flashed across his eyes, but he still pretended to be tough on the surface, trying to overwhelm everything with his momentum: "You black-hearted guy actually poisoned the potatoes and killed innocent people! Do you still want to quibble and deny the facts now?"

His accusation was like a huge rock thrown into the water, causing ripples. Some pedestrians who did not know the truth began to be misled by this sudden farce. They cast suspicious eyes on Zhang's stall and took detours.

Zhang Laoer looked at the scattered crowd, feeling heartbroken, as if a thousand-pound stone was pressing on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.

"Then report it to the authorities. Justice is in the hearts of the people, no need to say more."

Although Zhang Laoer's voice was calm, it revealed a firmness.

As a modern man who has experienced time travel, he knows that in this era, only by relying on the law can the problem be completely solved.

The big man's eyes flickered when he heard this. He secretly glanced at the scallion pancake stall not far away, and heard an imperceptible nod from there, which made him even more fearless and his attitude became more arrogant.

In fact, the source of all this is not accidental.

Before the incident happened, the so-called "victim" man was just a beggar living on the street.

The scallion pancake stall owner easily bribed him with just fifty cents and made him a part of the conspiracy.

What he let the beggar eat were not ordinary potatoes, but specially processed potatoes that contained an imperceptible chronic poison.

The purpose is not only to close down the Zhang family's stall, but also to make them bear the lawsuit involving murder and fall into an irretrievable situation.

Even if we report the case to the police, although an autopsy can prove that the deceased died of poisoning, the real mastermind has already been hiding in the dark, ready to escape at any time.

The moment the sturdy man got the hint, his acting skills went to the next level. With a choked voice, he almost pleaded with the crowd around him, "My dear friends, I beg you to help report this to the authorities! We must not let these evil-hearted people escape the punishment of the law!"

His performance was a mixture of grief and indignation, as if he was the biggest victim, which aroused sympathy from some onlookers who did not know the reason.

Faced with this sudden and extremely absurd frame-up, Xu Liyun was filled with doubts and her anger grew more and more intense like a wildfire fanned by the wind.

She fought back without mercy, her words sharp as a dagger, piercing the big man's heart: "Look everyone, this man is clearly harming people!"

Zhu Jin walked forward steadily, his face tense and his brows thick with worry: "Why didn't you seek medical help? It's a pity that he is gone."

The burly man was surprised to hear this, and his acting became more sincere. A few crystal tears quietly slid down his cheeks, accompanied by a shrill cry: "Brother, I have misled you! If I hadn't led you to this inconspicuous stall, how could you have suffered such misfortune?"

His voice trembled, filled with unspeakable pain and regret.

Xiao Youniang stood aside, her eyes as cold as ice, and a disdainful sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: "If she could seek medical treatment in time, she might have a chance of survival. This action is clearly a deliberate attempt by you to frame someone and kill someone!"

Zhu Jin keenly caught the subtle changes in the atmosphere, weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and then made a decision: "Bring them all back and interrogate them strictly. This matter cannot be ignored."

As the order was issued, the detectives responded quickly. They not only arrested Zhang Laoer and his wife and the pretentious strong man, but also carefully handled the body of the deceased to ensure that everything was in order.

The two young women witnessed their parents being escorted away. Although they were extremely anxious, they still managed to remain calm, and began to arrange things at home, silently waiting for Zhang Mingyi's return.

After listening to the report on the entire case, Fan Yunfu changed into a solemn official uniform, sat upright in the court, exuding an aura of majesty without even being angry.

Seeing Fan Yunfu's posture, the strong man performed even harder and begged for help crying and begging for help.

Fan Yunfu frowned. He knew the character of the Zhang family very well and knew that they would never do such a despicable thing.
