Zhao Daliang and Zhang Qingniang have been worried these days. They originally thought that no matter how powerful Shen Zian and his men were, they only knew the prefect and county magistrate. However, this matter involved the poisoning of hundreds of people. If they killed someone, it would be a big case and the prefect and county magistrate would not be able to protect Shen Zian and his men. Then, they just had to let the dead person's family ask for the recipe of the seasoning, saying that it would save a life. They didn't believe that Shen Zian and his men would not hand over the recipe!

Once they get the formula, they will say that they bought it. Even if others are suspicious, what can they do? The worst that can happen is that they will move far away from home, even if it is out of Liang Country. Anyway, having this formula is like having a cash cow, and they can live the life of a rich man wherever they go.

The couple had good intentions, but they didn't expect that they heard that Shen Zian and Su Zhi brought a lot of people with them when they returned, all of whom were very powerful people. Even the county magistrate was respectfully sent out of the county government. Then they heard from Hebian Village that those people were actually imperial envoys from the capital who came specifically to investigate this case, and that person was Su Zhi's family member!

"This is terrible! I never thought Shen Si would marry such a rich lady! She is a marquis in the capital! Will he find out about us?"

Zhao Daliang was a little anxious. He might not be afraid of the prefect or the county magistrate, but he was a little afraid of the marquis. What's more, even the emperor was alarmed by this matter!

Zhang Qingniang was also afraid. This time the idea was all hers. She was jealous of the speed at which Fuyuan made money, and she also hated Su Zhi a little. Su Zhi was called the Goddess of Fertility because she cured many women who could not conceive and helped them to give birth to children successfully. Zhang Qingniang also went to ask Su Zhi for help, but Su Zhi rejected her. After Su Zhi became pregnant, Zhang Qingniang hated Su Zhi even more.

Zhang Qingniang had been thinking about how to make Su Zhi feel bad, and when she encountered this opportunity, she did not let it go. She thought she was cruel and ruthless, and thought that she had made the poisoning situation so serious that no one could save Su Zhi, but she did not expect that Su Zhi was indeed as blessed as people said, and actually found parents who were marquises!

"What are you afraid of? Nothing will happen. We are doing it very secretly. That Sanlang is also very smart. He is a member of the Shen family, so Shen Zian and the others will not suspect him. As long as they don't suspect him, they won't suspect us either."

As Zhang Qingniang spoke, she was actually unsure in her heart. She was comforting Zhao Daliang, but also comforting herself.

Zhao Daliang asked again: "Then should we let the person who is scheduled to die die?"

Zhang Qingniang pursed her lips and said, "Yes! And quickly! That Su Zhi is famous for her ability to make medicine! If she cures the patient, there will be no chance for him to die! We can't miss this opportunity to make money! We just need to make those 'families of the deceased' keep their mouths shut!"

Zhao Daliang said, "Daughter-in-law, didn't you give them medicine? You also lied to them that they would die if there was no antidote. They must be very tight-lipped."

"It's better to do this sooner rather than later. Go now!"

Zhang Qingniang said to Zhao Daliang, she went over and hugged Zhao Daliang. She looked at him tenderly and said, "Daliang, as long as we get the formula, we don't have to worry about anything. We can leave Liangguo. If I can't give birth to a son, I will give you a concubine. Then giving birth to eight or ten sons will not be a problem."

Zhao Daliang was overjoyed when he heard this. On the surface, he hugged Zhang Qingniang and said, "Wife, I only want you. You will definitely give birth to a son. When we have money, we will see a famous doctor and we will definitely have a son. If not, we will live together for the rest of our lives. Anyway, as long as we have money, there will be someone to help us. I only have you, that's all."

The couple stayed together for a while, and then Zhao Daliang went out.

Not long after Zhao Daliang left, Zhang Qingniang heard someone knocking on the door. She wondered who it was. Their restaurant was closed, but there was a sign outside. Why was someone knocking on the door? She saw that it was still daylight and thought that they were on the street, so she went to open the door. As soon as she opened the door, someone rushed in.

Zhang Qingniang looked at the person in front of her and her heart sank.

Zhao Daliang went to look for the person he was looking for, and was arrested while he was talking to him about what he was doing. The people he was threatening were also arrested.

When the couple met, they both knew that the truth had been revealed. Not to mention Sanlang, they only thought about the people who were arrested with Zhao Daliang. They might not be able to withstand the torture and then confess them. When they saw Sanlang was also tied up, their last hope was shattered.

The threatened family was afraid of death and pain. Although they were afraid of the poison Zhang Qingniang gave them, they were more afraid of the knives and sticks of the strong men in front of them, so they confessed.

After Su Zhi heard this, she gave the whole family the medicine she had prescribed and told them it was the antidote. When the family heard that they were saved, they immediately told them everything about Zhang Qingniang and Zhao Daliang.

Su Zhi thought that Zhang Qingniang was really cruel. It was just as she imagined. She ignored Zhang Qingniang's request because she thought she was not a good person. Then she bullied Liu Si Niang, which was a character problem. Even if Zhang Qingniang acted gentle and kind, Su Zhi still thought that Liu Si Niang was not a good person and insisted on not treating her. As expected, Zhang Qingniang was a vicious woman. She actually took the lives of hundreds of people lightly and used poison so easily!

Sanlang and the rest of the family all testified against Zhao Daliang and his wife, and the couple had no choice but to be brought to justice.

During this process, Zhao Daliang, fearing death, pushed all the blame onto Zhang Qingniang, saying that Zhang Qingniang forced him to do this, that Zhang Qingniang knew the bandits and could use poison, and finally even revealed that Zhang Qingniang had stayed in a brothel.

Zhang Qingniang looked at Zhao Daliang and said nothing to him, but said to Su Zhi: "Madam Shen, what I envy you most is not your wealth, your smart mind, your rich family background, or the baby in your belly, but that you met a good husband. I have had a rough life. Fate played tricks on me and made me fall into the dust. I finally climbed out and wanted to marry an ordinary man to live with, but I didn't expect to end up like this. Moreover, this man doesn't really treat me well. I am such a failure."

Su Zhi did not sympathize with Zhang Qingniang and said coldly, "When you saw how he treated his first wife, you should have thought about your consequences, but you still helped the tiger and now you are reaping the consequences."

Zhang Qingniang sighed and thought, this is how it is. She knew at that time that she might not end up well, but she trusted herself too much, thinking that she was smart, and that she had several poison recipes that could control people, and she had money, so she thought she could control Zhao Daliang, but she didn't expect that the end would be like this. It's all her own greed!

Zhao Daliang pushed the responsibility onto his wife, but this did not reduce his own guilt at all. He became anxious again and accused Sanlang of lying, saying that it was Sanlang who came up with the idea first and that Sanlang mentioned the matter of the three poisons.

"You're talking nonsense!" Sanlang became anxious when he heard this. Although he was the one who gave the drug, he just had to say that it was Zhao Daliang who gave it to him and he only thought it was medicine for diarrhea, then his guilt would be less. But if he came up with this idea, he would definitely be sentenced very severely.

Sanlang and Zhao Daliang started to quarrel with each other. If they were not tied up, they would have fought each other.

"None of you should shirk responsibility. You are all guilty!"

Mu Chengzhi said that he thought these three people all had to give up their lives. Zhao Daliang and Zhang Qingniang could be directly sentenced to beheading. As for Sanlang, that would be a little more troublesome, but he should not even think of surviving. He actually dared to lie to others. How could such a person be allowed to stay? Keeping him would only cause great harm!

Except for Zhang Qingniang, the other two all begged for mercy.

The case was solved in such a short time that it is hard to believe.

Chunhua can be said to be the biggest contributor, but after she learned that Sanlang was arrested, she felt a little uncomfortable even if she hated him in her heart.

But this discomfort soon disappeared because Shilang and Golang finally showed a little smile on their faces.

After what happened in the capital, Silang and Wulang were afraid of Sanlang. Wulang usually stayed away from Sanlang and would tremble if he got close to him. Silang was a little better, but he no longer followed Sanlang like before, because he was afraid that Sanlang would kill him. When they heard that Sanlang was arrested, they didn't care about the consequences of being arrested, and just thought that they might not have to worry about Sanlang harming them anymore.

"Sister, you don't have to be sold as a concubine anymore. I heard my third brother tell my parents that he wants to sell you to the capital as a concubine. Being a concubine is not good. You don't want to be one."

Wulang said this to Chunhua, and when Chunhua heard it, she thought Sanlang deserved it!

Shen Ziping and Sun Shi had been unable to find their son. Finally they learned that their son had been captured by the imperial guard and was asked to go over. They hurried over and saw many people heading towards the east side of the river. They were nervous, thinking that something big must have happened and that the entire village might have gone there!

Mu Chengzhi wanted to gather all the people in Hebian Village for the sake of Shen Zian and Su Zhi's reputation. The poisoning case in recent days has affected them. Although the people in Hebian Village did not say anything on the surface, they must have some thoughts in their hearts. And now they have arrested Sanlang from the third room. He is a family member. If they want to arrest him, they must explain it clearly, especially to let the villagers know that he is not wronged. It is also necessary for the uncle to arrest his nephew.

It didn't take long before a lot of people gathered at Fuyuan, and everyone in Hebian Village who had heard the news came.

"My son! Why are they arresting you? You have lost your conscience! An uncle is arresting his own nephew! He can't find the murderer, so he blames his own family! He is holding a grudge! Shen Zian, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to accumulate merit for the baby in your wife's belly? This is your own nephew!"
