Chapter 14: Yi Hua's murder pays for his life
"Sir, please help us!" The woman burst into tears when she saw Zhao Guang appear.
"Okay, stop crying and explain what happened."
The woman didn't know what to say, but she only knew one thing: "My son was poisoned to death by them."
Zhao Guang came up to the fat boy and saw his purple face. He nodded and said, "He is indeed poisoned, and it is a deadly poison with no cure..."
After saying that, he sighed and said, "Let's arrange the funeral!"
"impossible!"
Zhang Yiquan collapsed immediately, and the woman threw herself beside Xiaopang and wailed, her voice making anyone who heard it cry.
The onlookers were filled with sympathy.
"In other words, you are sure that they killed your son." Zhao Guang suddenly spoke to the Zhang family.
"Yes, that's them!"
Zhang Yiquan didn't say anything. He didn't like the official. They had asked the official to help buy a horse-drawn carriage, but what they bought was a donkey cart. If it weren't for the donkey cart, how could his son have gotten into trouble?
Anyway, he thought that it was impossible for the police to arrest Chen Yuan, so he had to avenge himself.
"etc."
Chen Yuan immediately stepped forward and said, "Sir, this is what happened... Someone brought us a bundle full of food. I put it next to the carriage and spoke to Master Zhang..."
"Later, we had trouble communicating, so my daughter took over the communication. Who knew that the child of Mr. Zhang's family accidentally ate this food and became poisoned..."
Chen Yuan didn't see what happened at the time, but he was able to piece together most of the information. When everyone heard this, they suddenly understood.
Even Zhang Yiquan knew how his son was poisoned, but he didn't believe anything like "accidental ingestion".
"It was you who deliberately placed the food next to the carriage and tricked my son, Will, into eating the poisoned food. In the final analysis, you are the ones who killed my son."
Even a clay figure has its temper.
Master Chen was naturally a little angry. "If I really wanted to do it, I would have attacked your Zhang family with a knife long ago. Why would I use such a low-class method?"
"you……"
"Okay, I know what happened."
Hearing this, everyone in the Chen family looked at Zhao Guang expectantly. After all, he was a yamen runner and had the highest status here. As long as he could prove his family's innocence, there would be no problem.
However, Zhao Guang's face suddenly turned cold, and he shouted, "Chen Yuan, you are so bold! The emperor has shown mercy and spared your life and allowed you to go into exile, but you are not satisfied and dared to kill people in the exile group. This is an unforgivable crime."
"What?"
When everyone heard this, their expressions suddenly changed.
Zhang Yiquan was stunned at first, then he was ecstatic. He thought the official would definitely protect the Chen family, but he didn't expect...
"Hahaha, Chen Yuan, ah Chen Yuan, you can't escape. Those who kill will be killed."
The Chen family members didn't expect that even after they told the police what happened, they were still found guilty. Would they stop investigating?
Immediately, their hearts sank to the bottom.
Now that they have become prisoners, it is impossible for them to resist the yamen runners. In other words, if the yamen runners really want to kill them, they will not say anything even if they die.
“clang!”
As expected, Zhao Guang drew the big knife from his waist in front of everyone, and the blade emitted a cold and shining light in the sunlight.
The servants of the Chen family immediately stepped forward to protect their master behind them, and Xiaodie also opened her arms to block Chen Xue.
"Are you... planning a rebellion?" Zhao Guang said indifferently, "Get out of the way now. I will only execute the ringleader, otherwise I will kill everyone else as well."
These servants are such a hassle.
Zhao Guang's face looked very ugly. He really couldn't defeat so many people alone, and he had no way to take the opportunity to kill Chen Yuan.
Then he turned and looked at everyone.
"Tell me, there's a murderer around you now. Do you think you should keep him around, or would you rather live in fear every night, fearing that you'd be the next victim?"
"Of course not."
"Kill him!"
"That's right, killing someone means paying with your life, it's only natural."
"Kill someone and you'll pay with your life!"
The onlookers started shouting, which put enormous pressure on the Chen family's servants. Even though Lord Chen was very adept at officialdom, he didn't know what to do at this moment.
Because in order to resolve this matter, we must reconcile with the Zhang family, but to reconcile with the Zhang family, the prerequisite is that Zhang Xiaopang can survive.
But this is difficult because there is no antidote and no doctor.
"I can die, but this matter has nothing to do with my wife and daughter." Chen Yuan stood up and looked at Zhao Guang and Zhang Yiquan.
"You wish." Zhang Yiquan's face was grim. "I want your whole family to be buried with my son."
"Don't worry, I will avenge your son right now." Zhao Guang had wanted to complete the above task for a long time, so he rushed towards Chen Yuan with his weapon in hand.
"Master, be careful."
The Chen family servants immediately stepped forward to help Chen Yuan block the attack.
"Master Zhang, I can save your son."
At this moment, Zhang Yiquan seemed to hear the sound of nature. He looked up suddenly and saw Chen Xue's figure. His face suddenly darkened.
He sneered, "Poison first, and then help my son detoxify. The Chen family is very good!"
Chen Xue felt helpless. She had known this would happen, otherwise she would have stepped forward to help Xiaopang detoxify.
At this time, the only way to break the deadlock is to save Xiaopang.
So, she was a little impatient, "I'm only asking once, will you save your son? If you don't want to save him, forget it."
"Save him!" Zhang Yiquan gritted his teeth and said, "If my son is not saved, I want your Chen family to accompany him..."
"Buried together, right? I've said this so many times. Is there anything new? Change the line!"
Although he didn't understand what Chen Xue said, Zhang Yiquan was still choked by it.
Chen Xue ignored him and asked him to stay away. Then she asked the servant to pick up Xiaopang. While her body was covering the area, she dropped a drop of the exchanged antidote into Xiaopang's mouth.
After waiting for a few seconds and confirming that the antidote had absorbed into Xiaopang's body, she asked the servant to turn Xiaopang over, half-lying on the servant's legs, and asked the servant to reach out and cover Xiaopang's mouth.
"vomit!"
Not long after, Xiaopang vomited all over the floor and began to sober up.
Zhang Yiquan was suddenly overjoyed and was about to rush over, but was stopped by Chen Xue, who asked him to stay away first. Even though Zhang Yiquan was angry and unhappy, he had no choice but to obey for the sake of his son.
Chen Xue came to Xiaopang. When Xiaopang opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful sister and his eyes lit up immediately.
"Little Fatty..."
…………
After a while, a lively fat man came back.
"Alive, actually alive."
“It’s amazing!”
“He was actually saved.”
When the onlookers saw this scene, they were immediately surprised and talked about it. In their impression, if someone was poisoned, it would be difficult to save him.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xue rescued it with just a few tries?
That’s right, they also saw the actions of Chen Xue and the other two. Although they couldn’t understand them, they classified them as messing around.
It's outrageous that such nonsense can save lives.
But no one knew that the person who saved the life was Chen Xue, who exchanged a few taels of silver for the antidote.
