Chapter 250: Although young, he has a great mind!

Hearing this, Cai Guizhong was shocked and explained hastily: "No, it was the Lin family who asked me to do it, and they also gave me the medicine. They also said that it was not a poison, but would only make the person who took it vomit for a few days, and would not harm his life. I was forced to do that..."

"Really?"

Xu Yanyi walked up slowly, stood beside her and stared at her condescendingly: "So, you are not the mastermind, are you going to testify against the Lin family?"

"Oh, yes, yes! I will testify against them!"

Cai Guizhong kowtowed quickly.

Xu Yanyi nodded and looked at Lord Wen: "Sir, this matter is serious. It seems that you have to take people to the Lin family in person. The Lin family is not in the capital for many years. Now they have just returned and they have poisoned innocent people. I don't know what their intentions are. Isn't this causing trouble for you, sir?"

How could Lord Wen not know that something had happened at the refugee camp, but he had also heard that it was a matter of rations distributed by the Princess's Mansion, and Xu Yanyi did not shirk responsibility. He said in front of everyone that he was responsible, and even Mu Nanzhou spoke up, so he just pretended not to know. Anyway, it wasn't his fault, so he just had to keep his black veil hat.

But he didn't expect that Xu Yanyi would bring up this matter again. Can he just ignore it?

The theft of money from the Wuzhou treasury and the poisoning of the people and the slander of the princess, these two incidents seem to be related to the Lin family.

Lord Wen touched his chin and immediately said, "Someone, go to the Lin family!"

"yes!"

"yes!"

Xu Yanyi spoke again: "Sir Wen is a good official who loves the people like his own children. The people are waiting for you to help them detoxify. Since it was the Lin family who arranged for Cai Guizhong to poison them, they should have the antidote. Even if they say they don't have it, we can't believe it. Sir, this princess is speaking for the people. You have to bring the antidote back to them."

Lord Wen froze and said, "Yes! I am the people's father and mother, and I will do my best! Thank you, Princess, for your advice!"

"You're welcome."

Xu Yanyi smiled slightly, showing her gentleness.

The onlookers looked at each other and whispered to each other.

"So she was wronged."

"I told her she wouldn't do such a thing. What good would it do her?"

"That's right. Wasn't King Nanling there at the time? Even if she went crazy, she wouldn't have done it in front of King Nanling."

"Hey, isn't the Lin family's wife the aunt of Prince Nanling?"

“Why would they do this?”

Xu Yanyi and Master Yue did not answer any questions and followed Lord Wen and others out.

When the group arrived at the Lin family, Mr. Lin was talking to Lin Mengyan.

"Master, it's bad, it's bad, the master from the government office is here, and Princess Nanling is here too..."

A servant came running over, panting.

Mr. Lin stood up and asked, "What do you mean? Is it from the government office?"

With an ominous premonition rising up, Mr. Lin ran out quickly and almost stumbled and fell. Lin Mengyan hurriedly helped him up and wanted to go out with him, but Lin Mengshu stopped her: "Second sister, I will go with father, you...you should stay in the room to avoid the limelight."

After saying this, Lin Mengshu helped Old Man Lin out.

forecourt.

Lord Wen and others were already waiting there, and Xu Yanyi and Master Yue were standing by as if they were watching a good show.

Mr. Lin stepped forward and saluted each one.

Lord Wen did not exchange pleasantries, but spoke directly and coldly: "Today, someone from Yingtian Prefecture came to report the case, saying that your Lin family was corrupt and stole the silver from the Wuzhou Prefecture Treasury, and also instructed others to poison and frame the Princess of Nanling... Oh, no, it was the Princess, who caused harm to innocent people! You can plead guilty!"

Master Lin was shocked: "It's unfair, sir!"

"Whether it is unjust or not, sir, you can find out if you check the silver in the Lin family's warehouse. Their silver has a mark, exactly the same as the mark on the box of silver just now. If the silver in the warehouse did not pass through their hands, how could they have added a mark on it?"

Xu Yanyi's lazy reminder.

Lord Wen waved his hand and said, "Someone, come! Check the Lin family warehouse!"

Master Lin's legs went limp and he was about to fall. Lin Mengshu quickly supported him and looked at Xu Yanyi anxiously: "Princess, you can't frame us just because our Lin family refused to lend you the medicine!"

Good fellow.

This boy is pretty good at splashing dirty water.

Xu Yanyi curled her lips and said, "Whether it is a frame-up or not, why not let Lord Wen do the trial? The witnesses are in the government office. The owner of the bun shop and his wife have been found."

Master Wen snorted and took out a piece of paper: "This is the agreement signed by your accountant and Cai Guizhong to settle the money and goods. There are their fingerprints on it."

Lin Mengshu was completely confused. He didn't expect that Cai Guizhong was just a gambler who knew nothing and ran away after taking the money and poisoning the things. Why did he sign this thing with his own accountant?

At this time, the yamen runners had brought the accountant and a small amount of money from the Lin family as evidence. When Lord Wen took a look, he found that the mark was exactly the same.

This means that the silver in the treasury did fall into the hands of the Lin family, who also engraved their marks on it and used it as their own silver.

The official silver in every place in Northern Qin also had marks, but these marks were dyed with special paint.

If you want to make the mark visible, you have to apply a potion.

When interrogating Chen Laoqi and Cai Guizhong just now, Lord Wen had already applied that kind of medicine to confirm that it was indeed part of the Wuzhou treasury silver.

Now seeing the mark of the Lin family’s silver, doesn’t this prove it?

Immediately, Lord Wen was furious: "There are witnesses and evidence, and you still want to deny it! Tell me, why did you steal the treasury silver of Wuzhou Prefecture? Where is the remaining treasury silver hidden? And why did you poison innocent people!"

Mr. Lin was so nervous that he couldn't utter a word and kept looking at Lin Mengshu.

Lin Mengshu stood up and kicked the accountant, shouting: "Sir! Our Lin family treats you well! Why do you want to harm our Lin family! Could it be that you wanted my mother to recommend your son to King Nanling as an aide, but my mother didn't agree, so you hold a grudge against me! You should know that although my mother is King Nanling's aunt, she also has principles and will not recommend anyone to King Nanling casually!"

Xu Yanyi narrowed her eyes dangerously.

Good guys!

Lin Mengshu may not look very old, but he is a very smart person.

What he said was very appropriate. Not only did he put the blame on the accountant, but he also reminded everyone that Mu Liufang was Mu Nanzhou's aunt. In this way, Lord Wen had to be more careful in what he did.

Sure enough, Lord Wen's expression changed slightly and he remained silent for a while.
