All enemies bow down to me

The three-layer steamer is placed on the table one by one, and inside are three staple foods with different appearances.

The first steamer says Meirentuan, which is pasta shaped like a hydrangea, while the second steamer contains moon palace sugar cake shaped like a rabbit with milk and honey added.

As for the third type, it is the most common, coarse food steamed bun mixed with cornmeal and bran.But they are the most common staple food at the wharf, but everyone is still salivating.

Because this taste is too tempting, let alone the other two, let's just talk about the simplest kind of rough food steamed buns.It is very different from the ones bought in ordinary stores.

Tong You's steamed buns actually bloom.

Kneaded into a round flower bud shape coarse food steamed buns, the moment the steamer is opened, with the mist drifting away, different patterns slowly bloom on the surface.And the inside it reveals is even more alluring.Although it is not purely soft and fluffy, the grain aroma mixed with corn and beans and the thick texture of the steamed bun are enough to make people salivate.

The most important thing is the unique sweetness emanating from these pastries, as if seeing a hundred flowers blooming in an instant.

Jiuniang Mantou is a unique pasta made by using leftover distiller's grains instead of lye.The cost is about the same as ordinary steamed buns, but the taste is several times better.

"JiuNian steamed buns cost a penny each. Beauty Tuan and Moon Palace Candy Cake cost three pennies." Under Tong You's signal, the two guys also began to yell.And Tong You also said to the few people in front of him: "Gu's Aged Brewery is open today, please take care of me from all the folks in the future."

Tong You was already good-looking, although the few words on the scene were brief, his attitude was extremely polite.Coupled with these three kinds of pasta, the price is very reasonable for the exquisiteness.Therefore, as soon as the two guys greeted, many people paid to try it.

After all, the price is the same as ordinary steamed buns, and if you don't eat breakfast, it's nothing to buy two.

Those who bought it couldn't help being tempted. They tasted it first, and then they were conquered by the delicious taste that exploded on the tip of their tongues.Different from the dryness of those ordinary rough food steamed buns, Tong Youjia's fermented rice steamed buns are extraordinarily delicate.And the unique sweetness of fermented rice, after being perfectly blended with soybean flour and corn, becomes more and more addictive.

"Okay, it's delicious." Someone couldn't help but exclaimed, and then more people rushed to Gu's aging brew booth.

All of a sudden, people rushed to grab it, and the Jiuniang steamed buns were quickly sold out. As for the two kinds of fine noodles, a lot of them were also sold out.

"Little shopkeeper, when will your next basket of steamed buns be out?" asked Tong You if he got any.

But Tong You shook his head and said that there is no more: "Gu's Aging mainly sells wine, steamed buns are just the leftover wine from the previous day's brewing, it's a pity to throw them away if they are broken, so they are made into steamed buns for sale."

"Hey, but this taste is really amazing!" Everyone who had eaten it nodded in praise, and those who hadn't had it also showed regretful expressions.But at this moment, suddenly a group of yamen servants walked over with heavy shackles in their hands.

Pushing aside the crowd, he walked to Gu's aging wine shop, pointed to Tong You and asked, "Are you Gu Baizi from the Gu family?"

"It's the grassroots." Tong You nodded and admitted.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was put on shackles by the fierce yamen servant and forcibly taken away.Immediately afterwards, the small shop of Gu's Aged Wine was also sealed off.All the items in the store were removed by the remaining yamen servants.Even the few helpers were no exception, they were all tied up together.

"Officer, what's going on?" Those who had just eaten Gu's aged steamed buns asked nervously.

"Someone said that the wine sold by Gu's family was poisonous, and they have already reported it to the Yamen. Just now, I checked it and said it was arsenic!"

This, this is not true!

Those who had eaten the fermented buns were shocked instantly.And after the yamen servant asked carefully, his face was also pale with fright.

He originally thought that he was just here to pick up a prisoner, but he didn't expect that the Gu's family had already opened, and they made steamed buns from the brewed wine and sold them at the pier.

There are already a lot of people coming and going at the pier. He roughly calculated that there are at least a hundred steamed buns in Tong You's basket. If the food is really in the way, it's not the stomachache of a few villagers in Jiangjia Village. If there is trouble, it will be involved. Hundreds of people.

Once it is not handled well, it will alarm Shangfeng and become an important case, and I am afraid that even the county magistrate's political achievements will be affected.

"So, what did you put in it!" The yamen servant grabbed Tong You's skirt and shook it twice, as if he could shake his worries away.

Then Tong You reached out to pat him away, and said calmly, "I didn't poison you." Then he stopped explaining.

The thin language could not calm the panic of the people, the yamen servant was sweating profusely, and hurriedly grabbed Tong You and ran towards the yamen.As for those who bought steamed buns, they also made a fuss, cursing after them.Even those who are timid still feel inexplicably that all kinds of things are overwhelming in their stomachs.

It was spread to ten, ten to hundreds, but in just half an hour, almost everyone in the county knew that the newly opened small shopkeeper of Gu's Aged Brew had ulterior motives, put arsenic in the wine, and tried to poison countless innocent people to death.

There were few accidents in the small county, so more and more people gathered in front of the Yamen out of curiosity, wanting to see what happened.

-------------------------

yamen

The people in Jiangjia Village kept talking about Tong You's crimes, and the few who pretended to be sick also lay on the stretcher as they had agreed before, making it look like they were dying of illness.

As for Wen Jiayue and Jiang Zian's family, they pretended to be innocent and knelt down with Li Zheng in the hall, counting Tong You's crimes in detail.In short, it was the thief who called for arrest first, and even prepared complete evidence, which is bound to put Tong You into a place of eternal doom.

"The whole story has already been told to the adults, and the students are desperate, so they made such a bad plan. I hope the adults will give the students justice." Jiang Zian cried as he spoke. After all, he was also an academy student in Confucian shirts, but now he was in the public eye. Crying like this, I don't care about the arrogance of the literati.As for Wen Jiayue beside him, she also looked sad.The slightly protruding belly showed that there was a child at a glance, but her pale face did not have the joy that a pregnant woman should have, and she was also pitifully thin, which aroused more pity.

"Oh my god, this Gu family is too ruthless. Jiang Zian's father was just in despair for a while, and wanted to borrow some money, but he tricked him into selling his child."

"Gu Baizi is not a good person either. A twin who is about to marry sells wine on the street, and has bad morals. He even said that he smashed the ancestral hall, which is also bold and reckless. Shen Tang can't exaggerate it."

"No, merchants are the most humble. According to the laws of Da'an, merchants are not qualified to buy and sell slaves. This Gu Laosan's family is just bullying Jiang's family who came from the countryside and do not understand the law."

The onlookers talked a lot, but before they could say anything, they were rushed away by the yamen servants who hurried over from behind.Tong You and several fellows were pressed under the hall as defendants, and the faces of the villagers who followed outside the hall were full of horror.

"What should we do, we won't die!" The voice of such words became more and more intense, and soon covered those voices talking about Jiangjiacun.

As for the county magistrate who had heard the report from the yamen servant, he was also a little flustered, and his body trembled involuntarily.

"Quick, go and call the doctor! Call all the doctors for the whole journey!" Regardless of the case in the hall, the first reaction in Xiancheng's mind was that there must be no big trouble.

This is no child's play, but hundreds of lives!He is a small county magistrate with a total of only tens of thousands of people.If hundreds of people died because of this, even if someone maliciously poisoned them, he, as the parent official, could hardly escape the responsibility.It is good to lose the official position, but I am afraid that the holy majesty will come down and lose his life.

The scene became more and more chaotic, and almost the whole city rioted.Those waiting for treatment outside the hall were also terrified. As for the family members of the villagers who ate steamed buns, they also rushed to the government office.

Everyone is afraid of death, especially when they know that they may eat food mixed with poison by mistake, their first reaction is fear and panic.

At this moment, the people in Jiangjia Village were completely stunned. They never thought that things would become such a big mess.

Because they all know that there is no poison in the Gu family's wine, but they added the poison later.If it is discovered, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Things have become difficult to control, and if one fails, one's body will be crushed to pieces.

Li Zheng and the villagers who were brought in to testify perjury were frightened out of their wits.As for Jiang Zian, his complexion was even paler, and even Wen Jiayue, who thought he had seen the world, turned pale.

However, at this moment, a gentle voice came from the hall, it was Tong You.

"My lord, don't panic, fellow folks don't need to be afraid. Please let the grassroots say a few words. Arsenic is a potent poison. If it gets on it, let alone how much it takes, half a cup of tea is enough time to attack it. Let's not talk about Jiangjia Village, just say Folks who bought my Gu family’s things here at the pier. It takes more than half an hour to walk from the pier. If something really went wrong with my house, then someone should have collapsed long ago, so how can everything be safe until now? Seeing that the scene was getting more and more chaotic, Tong You took the initiative to stand up and explained a few words.

It seems to make some sense.

The flustered county magistrate calmed down because of Tong You's words.Seeing this, Wen Jiayue at the side quickly said, "My lord, don't listen to his nonsense. It's either arsenic or other poison. After all, the villagers in my Jiangjia Village only started to get sick overnight, not because they drank alcohol. Afterwards, there was a problem immediately. As for the others, if there is no problem now, how do you know that there will be nothing wrong tomorrow?"

The atmosphere that had just eased down became tense again.

But Tong You was not afraid, but calmly raised doubts: "It's nonsense. My Gu family has made a living by brewing wine for generations. The Gu family can't speak, so he first knows how to taste wine. With this craft alone, he can be found everywhere he goes. Food. There are many ways to harm people. Why did I smash the signboard and cut off the way of making a living? In addition, you said that the people in the village fell ill because I poisoned the wine, but this is just your one-sided statement. Actually The Gu family has not sold wine to the villagers recently. If you don’t believe me, you can visit the towns near Jiang’s village. All the regular customers of the Gu family know that the Gu family’s new wine is not yet ready, so they don’t sell wine these days, so they have temporarily stopped.”

"Is this true?" The county magistrate was also a little messy.Tong You's words are convincing, and Wen Jiayue and Jiang Zian's opinions are different, which sounds reasonable.

"Of course it is true, and the grassroots have ironclad evidence." Tong You said before the others: "The steamed buns and snacks that everyone outside the hall ate were all made by me and a few buddies when I got up early, and at that time, Gu's aged wine The old owner's family who took out the real estate is also on the side. In the big kitchen, there are more than a dozen people in total. These guys were introduced by the old owner, and they met for the first time today. There is absolutely no reason to deliberately cover me .And when the steamed buns were steamed in the first pot, I ate them myself to make sure of the taste. If it was really poisonous, wouldn't I have an accident before everyone else, so how could I stand here safe and sound? What's more, all the wine-making utensils of the Gu family were brought in by the yamen servants, you can tell if they are poisonous or not by asking you to test them."

"In addition, there are laws in the Great Zhou Dynasty. If you want to buy and sell poisonous drugs such as arsenic, you must register. If I really use this to harm others, you only need to check the county's sales records to find out."

"Also, Jiang's family kept saying that the wine was bought from Gu's family yesterday. That's a big joke. As the saying goes, wine has all kinds of flavors, and the biggest feature of Gu's family's aging wine is that no tank of wine tastes the same. This It's not a special technique, it's just related to the difference in the grains used to make wine in the current season. You don't need to drink it, just pour it out and compare it with the wine that my family is selling now. It's enough to distinguish it only by the color and aroma. What's more, this Jiangjia Village The wine used as evidence is not brewed by my Gu family, but Jiang Zian, their so-called own person in Jiangjia Village."

"You...you... talking nonsense!" Seeing Tong You's few words and then pushing the mistake to himself, Jiang Zian, who was already precious in his heart, became more flustered and hurriedly opened his mouth to argue.

It's just that this sophistry also seems very weak.Because when he was in Gu's family, he did make a bottle of wine by himself under the guidance of Gu Laosan.But it's just such a tank, there are so many people who come to Gu's house to buy wine every day, how could there be any left behind.Jiang Zi'an was lucky and decided not to admit it.

But at this moment, as if in order to expose his lies, the assistant who followed the yamen outside the hall to check the things brought by Gu's old wine finally squeezed in and reported: "My lord, this little shopkeeper did not lie, the things from the Gu family It is indeed non-toxic. Moreover, the evidence submitted by Jiangjia Village is indeed not from the same source as the wine from the Gu family."
