The coroner inserted new silver needles into the food of Yi Lao Da and Yi Lao San respectively.
When I took it out and looked at it, there was no color change. "Non-toxic, edible."
Yi Lao Da and Yi Lao San breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, everyone in the village came to watch the fun, and Zhou Qi asked everyone to take off one shoe for comparison.
After comparing them all, no one's shoes matched the shoe print. Some of them matched in size, but the shoe patterns were different.
Seeing that everyone was tired, Yi Yami said to Yi Lao Da and Yi Lao San, "Uncle, Third Uncle, this food will go bad tomorrow anyway. Why don't we just treat everyone to it?"
Yi Lao Da and Yi Lao San were worried, but when they heard Yi Ya Mi's suggestion, they slapped their heads and said, "Xiaomi, you are right."
So they set up a stall on the spot and scooped a bowl of porridge for everyone present. The Yi couple fried pancakes and distributed them to everyone one by one.
Even the people eating melons at the doorstep had a portion for each of them. No one expected that after eating melons, they could actually have porridge and cakes. They felt that this melon was really good, although it was built on the pain of Yi's family.
While everyone was drinking porridge, Zhou Qi counted the heads and checked whether everyone was present one by one.
This number doesn't matter, but we found that Zhou Dahai and his wife's family were missing.
"Have you seen Zhou Dahai, Du Cuihua and Zhou Dada?" Zhou Qi asked another family who lived nearby.
"No, I didn't see Zhou Dahai open the door or sweep the yard when I woke up this morning. I thought his family went to visit his mother's family." The neighbor replied.
"This is really weird. Usually when they can take advantage of something, this couple runs the fastest and everyone else can only queue behind them. How come I can't even see them now?" Zhou Qi touched his head.
Gu Beijian pricked up his ears and when he heard the news, his eyes rolled and he poked Yao Wenyuan.
"What's wrong?" Yao Wenyuan asked in confusion.
"There is a family that hasn't come yet. Why don't we go and check on them?" Gu Beijian said softly.
"Oh? There's such a thing?" Yao Wenyuan looked at Zhou Qi and called him over. "Village Chief of Green Pod Village, please come here. Are all the villagers present at the scene?"
"Reporting to the Lord, there is still one Zhou Dahai missing." Zhou Qi broke out in a cold sweat. This Lord was so meticulous.
"Why hasn't anyone come?" Yao Wenyuan asked.
"I don't know. I asked the neighbors and they said they didn't see anyone open the door early in the morning, so they thought he went to visit his mother's family." Zhou Qi said truthfully.
"Go and take a look." Yao Wenyuan felt something was wrong.
"Yes." Zhou Qi followed.
A group of people came to Zhou Dahai's door, and the onlookers followed them with their bowls in hand. Some of them ran away after finishing their meals.
With a creak, the courtyard door was opened. Originally thought that no one was at home, the courtyard should be empty, but unexpectedly, there was a child lying on the ground. Yao Wenyuan took two steps forward and helped him up, "Child, wake up!" Yao Wenyuan pinched the child's nose.
Zhou Dada slowly woke up after a while and saw the unfamiliar face, "Help, save my parents!"
Zhou Qi finally reacted and quickly rushed into the house.
It was discovered that Zhou Dahai and his wife were vomiting and having diarrhea, the scene was a mess, and both of them had been unconscious for a long time.
Yao Wenyuan quickly asked someone to call a doctor. After the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, the two people were gradually out of danger.
"Sir, these three people became like this because they accidentally ate food contaminated with some kind of poison. The children ate less, so their symptoms were relatively mild, but the adults ate more, and the poison has damaged their veins and internal organs. Even if they are cured, I'm afraid they will become drooling fools and weak cripples..." Doctor Mei sighed, feeling sorry for such young children.
Upon hearing this, Yao Wenyuan remembered that Yi Yami said that not only were the braised dishes in his family poisoned, but the quantity was also much less.
Yao Wenyuan glanced at the blue bundle on the table and signaled the coroner to examine it.
After examining it for a while, the coroner found that the poison was the same as the braised food in Yi Yami's yard, so he reported the truth to Yao Wenyuan.
Yao Wenyuan looked at the family and shook his head, "Evil will be punished..."
Yao Wenyuan told Yi Yami's family, "The mastermind has been identified. It's Zhou Dahai and his wife next door, but they're still unconscious. We can't take them to jail. The doctor said they'd be idiots even if they were cured. I'd like to hear your thoughts on how to punish them. After all, they have a child, and children are innocent."
Everyone sighed after hearing this. This person should be a good person and not be greedy for things that do not belong to him. This retribution came too quickly...
Yi Yami discussed with his family, "How about, forget it and wait until Zhou Dahai and his wife wake up. If they are conscious after they wake up, let the county magistrate arrest them and punish them according to the law. If they are stupid, then forget it. That child is really pitiful..."
The Yi family also agrees with this statement.
"Sir, let's wait until Zhou Dahai and his wife wake up and then make a decision. If they are sober and conscious, then you can arrest them and punish them according to the law. If they wake up and are found to be fools, then forget it..." Yi Yami said to Yao Wenyuan after everyone agreed.
Yao Wenyuan also nodded, and then arranged two yamen runners to guard the place so that there would be no need to worry about Zhou Dahai and his wife escaping.
The villagers were talking about it. "I didn't expect Zhou Dahai and his wife to be so cruel and bold that they dared to crawl to Yi's house to poison him. If they dare to poison him now, they will dare to kill people in the future!"
"That's right. If you ask me, this is truly a sin. Zhou Dada is still so young, and now both his parents are like this, how is he going to live in the future?"
"So, this person shouldn't do anything bad. They shouldn't take anything that doesn't belong to them. They shouldn't be greedy. If Zhou Dahai and his wife weren't greedy, they wouldn't eat food contaminated with poison. Maybe they could get away with it..."
"I'm not sure. Look at this new county magistrate. He's a very thoughtful and serious person. He's determined to get to the bottom of this. With his efficiency, he'll probably find Zhou Dahai soon!"
"Too……"
Yao Wenyuan left Lvjia Village amid the villagers' discussions.
The Yi family looked at the yard next door and sighed.
On the second day, a notice was posted in the town, explaining how Zhou Dahai and his wife poisoned the food and accidentally ate it, ultimately leading to a tragic end that harmed themselves and others. The notice warned everyone that the law is strict and that people should not challenge the bottom line of the law. People should be upright and not always think about crooked ways.
This incident spread like wildfire in the town. In a short time, the name of the Yi family had become a household name in Luguang Town, although it was spread in the form of gossip.
The Yi family stopped and said they really wanted to rest. After being busy for so many days, they finally had the chance to stop and rest. There were still many areas that could be improved.
