Chapter 227: Who gave the injection?
"ah!"
Su Xiaoliu screamed in fright.
My hand shook and I almost dropped the magnet.
I saw two thin iron needles on the magnet.
This sudden change attracted people who were watching the excitement to gather around.
"There is a needle on this horse's body!" Su Xiaoliu said stutteringly.
"How come there is a needle here?" Boss Su looked at Old Man Tian in shock.
When Old Man Tian saw the needle, he was even more confused.
Why is there a needle on Dahong's body?
Who stabbed you?
"Brother, try again and see if there is any elsewhere?" said Xiao Tangbao.
"good!"
Su Xiaoliu took the magnet and began to move it around on the horse.
“Ding Ding…”
With a few soft sounds, a few more iron needles were sucked out.
When the people around saw this, they began to talk about it, their faces full of surprise.
"No wonder the horse is so sick, could it be because of these needles?"
"It's very likely..."
"Didn't they say this horse was fine a few days ago? Now it's so sick, I'm afraid someone did it on purpose..."
"Isn't there poison on these needles?"
"Who is so vicious?"
…
For a time, there were different opinions.
Everyone knows that if the horse was given so many needles, it must have been done intentionally.
Little Tangbao touched the horse's neck, then rummaged through his little pocket, took out a red fruit, and stuffed it into Dahong's mouth.
Dahong rubbed Xiaotangbao's palm gently.
Mr. Jin Shan was just talking about his ability to cure the horse, when the magnet in Su Xiaoliu's hand sucked out the iron needle.
Mr. Jin Shanren's face changed and his voice stopped abruptly.
Old Man Su's expression also changed. He didn't expect such a thing to happen.
"Mr. Jin, please take a look. Are these needles poisonous? Is the reason why the horse is so seriously ill because of these needles?" Old Man Su asked hurriedly.
Mr. Jin nodded, walked over, squatted down and looked at the iron needle on the magnet.
"I can't say whether these needles are poisonous or not..." Jin Shanren said in embarrassment, "But the person who inserted these needles must have ulterior motives."
"Yang Dunzi, is that you?" Old Man Tian looked at Yang Dunzi with a look of grief and indignation, and asked angrily, "You did such a vicious thing just to buy a horse cheaply. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?!"
Yang Dunzi immediately started yelling with a look of injustice on his face.
"Old man Tian, you can't wrongly accuse a good person! I, Yang Dunzi, would never do such a wicked thing!"
"Who else could it be but you? My horse was fine a few days ago, but it got sick after I came back from the last market..."
"You can't say I did that!"
"You still don't admit it? You circled around my Dahong several times. Maybe it was you who stuck the needle into Dahong when I wasn't paying attention..."
"Hey, hey, hey! Old Man Tian, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! There are so many people around watching your horse, who knows who did it..."
Yang Dunzi shouted loudly and glanced at Mr. Jin Shanren.
"If I remember correctly, Mr. Jin also saw your horse at the last market..."
Jin Shanren's face darkened.
"Yang Dunzi, what do you mean by this?"
"Mr. Jin, it's nothing special. I, Old Yang, am just telling the truth." Yang Dunzi said with a nod and a bow.
"Hmph! I, Jin, will definitely not do such a despicable thing!" Mr. Jin said heavily.
"Yes, why would Mr. Jin do such a thing?"
"That's right, this definitely wasn't done by Mr. Jin..."
“…”
People around him all spoke out in support of Mr. Jin.
"What's wrong? What happened?..."
Following a burst of shouts, Su Laoer, wearing a yamen runner's uniform and with a big knife slung around his waist, came over.
Behind Su Lao Er were County Magistrate Zheng and two servants.
It turned out that Su Laoer hurried back to the county town as soon as the sun rose.
Unexpectedly, on the way, they met County Magistrate Zheng and Ye on their way to the Su family in Daliushu Village.
So, he turned back.
Anyway, as long as he sees the county magistrate, his leave will be over.
Going back to Daliushu Village would be like going on official business as an attendant of the county magistrate.
Knowing that his parents were coming to the market to buy a carriage, Su Laoer told County Magistrate Zheng.
Since Old Man Su and his wife were not at home, County Magistrate Zheng and his wife certainly did not go directly to the Su family, but also came to the market.
However, Ye disliked the livestock market because it was dirty and messy, so she did not come in, but went to the teahouse instead.
As Su Laoer walked over majestically, everyone immediately made way for him.
"The official is here, Old Man Tian. Since Yang Dunzi doesn't admit it, why don't you report it to the authorities..."
"Yes, report to the authorities..."
Someone shouted out ideas.
However, this official walked directly up to Old Man Su.
"father."
Then, he looked at Xiao Tangbao again.
"Sister, do you miss your second brother?"
Everyone: “…”
It turns out that this official is the son of a fool who is stupid but rich.
The corners of Xiao Tangbao's mouth twitched, and he really wanted to say, "Second brother, you've only been gone for a few hours."
"I thought about it." Little Tangbao said obediently.
Su Laoer immediately smiled with his big white teeth.
You see, he’s only been gone for a few hours and his sister already misses him.
"Brother Su." County Magistrate Zheng said with a smile.
However, there was a hint of bitterness in the laughter, and the smile on her face was not much better than crying.
"Your humble servant greets the county magistrate!" Old man Su saluted hurriedly.
As soon as Old Man Su finished speaking, the people around him immediately fell silent.
No one expected that the county magistrate would come to the livestock market.
County Magistrate Zheng did not wear his official uniform when he came this time, so no one would have thought that this richly dressed gentleman was actually the county magistrate.
Ordinary people have a natural fear of officials.
So, when they heard that this was the county magistrate, they all bowed their heads and dared not speak anymore.
"Brother Su, there's no need to be so polite." County Magistrate Zheng helped Old Man Su.
Then, he asked again: "Brother Su, what happened?"
Old Man Su looked at Old Man Tian.
After all, although he had already bought the horse, it would be more legitimate for the horse's previous owner to report the matter to the police.
Old Man Tian took a look at the red thing on the ground, then fell to his knees with a plop.
"Please, sir, help me." Old Man Tian said with a look of grief and indignation, "My horse was poisoned by this man..."
Old Man Tian said this, pointing at Yang Dunzi.
Yang Dunzi was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a plop.
"I am innocent! Old man Tian, you are slandering me..."
"I, an old man, have never wronged you..."
"You are wronged..."
"Shut up!" County Magistrate Zheng shouted in a stern voice.
Not to mention, County Magistrate Zheng showed his official authority. Although he was not wearing official uniform, he still had some momentum.
Old Man Tian and Yang Dunzi immediately stopped breathing.
Magistrate Zheng looked at Old Man Tian and asked, "You said he injected the poison needle, but did you see it with your own eyes? Do you have any evidence?"
Old Man Tian, “…”
Of course he didn't.
"Since you didn't see it with your own eyes and have no evidence, how can you conclude that it was him who did it?" County Magistrate Zheng asked again.
Old Man Tian, “…”
Who else could it be but him?
Yang Dunzi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Old Man Tian was speechless after being asked this question.
