When Su Chenshi saw that the warehouse next door was filled to the brim with grain, her eyes reddened even more.
He kept cursing Luo Yunhe, wishing he could tear him to pieces. Who would have thought that Luo Yunhe would have so much grain and so much wine? What's more, he heard that Luo Yunhe earns a lot of silver every month. How could he not be envious?
"You damned little slut, let's see how you make money! If I don't ruin your wine today, I'm not Chen Cuifang! You little slut, you should die! You make so much money but won't spend a single penny on me, you're such an ingrate! Today I'm going to teach you a lesson you won't forget!"
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and strode toward the well-placed wine vats, intending to sabotage the wine inside. He then took out a packet of medicine from his pocket.
He didn't notice at all why there was no one in the workshop, and why there was a fire burning on top of the empty space. How could there be no one there?
Just as he approached one of them and was about to break the seal, a group of people appeared.
They all stared coldly at Su Chenshi, who was causing trouble. Especially when they saw him take out a packet of medicine from his pocket, several burly men rushed up and pinned him to the ground.
"Ah...who..." The sudden action startled Su Chenshi, and the medicine bag in her hand fell to the ground. When she turned around and saw so many people, her face immediately turned pale.
He never imagined that he was doing something wrong and that so many people would see him. Moreover, the packet of medicine had fallen to the ground, and he struggled desperately to hide it.
Unfortunately, he was still too slow.
When Luo Yunhe walked over, she directly grabbed the packet of medicine in her hand and looked at Su Shenshi on the ground with a disdainful smile.
"Su Chenshi, how dare you do such a thing to the tribute wine!"
"You, you're lying... I didn't do it, that thing isn't mine..."
"Don't deny it. Everyone in the village can testify. Besides, no one in my Nine Directions can get in. How did you get in?"
Oh, by the way, it doesn't matter if you don't say anything, but trespassing into my distillery and damaging the tribute wine is already a death sentence. Now I'll send you to the yamen!
Luo Yunhe looked at her with a smile.
Su Chenshi panicked. Even though she was pinned to the ground, her eyes kept rolling upwards, trying to see Luo Yunhe's appearance clearly so she could explain herself properly. Unfortunately, Luo Yunhe didn't give her a chance at all.
"I...I was wrong. I was just curious about your wine shop, so I sneaked in to take a look. I really didn't do anything bad. That stuff was medicine I bought for myself..."
"Eldest daughter-in-law, please, I know it was wrong of me to barge in, but I really didn't mean to hurt you in any way."
"Please forgive me this time, for I am Jing Xuan's mother. I promise I will never come again..."
"I don't believe your guarantee, and now I seriously doubt whether you are Su Jingxuan's biological mother."
If you were truly his biological mother, how could you possibly curse him to die? Don't you know how you treated him? Begging for forgiveness now? It's too late!
After Luo Yunhe finished speaking, she ignored him and had him taken directly to the town government office.
The town's government offices were mostly run by clerks. When they heard that Luo Yunhe had caught someone who was trying to sabotage the tribute wine, the clerks became very cautious.
Tribute wine was something that was sent to the capital for the use of the royal family and nobles. If anything went wrong, not only would the old house be lost, but it might even implicate them.
No matter what, such an accident must not happen, so the clerk, without saying a word, led a large number of people to the court.
Su Chenshi was bound hand and foot and thrown into the main hall. Many common people outside watched this scene. Luo Yunhe briefly recounted the events and presented the evidence.
"My lord, this is what this poisonous woman always carried with her. When we caught her, she was trying to poison the wine vat."
He was plotting to murder someone, even a member of the royal family. Fortunately, we discovered it in time; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
"The adult I wronged didn't do it, it wasn't mine, I was wronged by them..."
"Sir, we can all testify that this is what he was carrying, and we caught him red-handed. If we hadn't caught them, our entire town might have been implicated..."
Upon hearing this, the clerk, seeing that there were witnesses and physical evidence, and that the old woman was still so unrepentant and shirking responsibility, struck the gavel without saying a word.
"You have some nerve! You dare to poison the tribute wine! You're asking for death! Give him thirty lashes and throw him in jail. I'll report this to my superiors and decide what to do next!"
Upon hearing this, Su Chenshi trembled all over and tried to explain, but unfortunately, those people didn't give him a chance to explain. After dragging him out, the board was beaten on his body again and again.
The people outside were pointing and whispering about him, and some were even hurling insults at him.
Su Chenshi's shrill screams rang out incessantly, as agonizing as could be. Before long, a lot of blood had appeared on his buttocks.
Thirty strokes of the cane are no joke; they can be fatal.
Even after being severely beaten, Su Chenshi was on the verge of death and was dragged back into prison.
Luo Yunhe thought about it. Su Chenshi had suffered so many losses at her hands, so how could she possibly commit a crime against the wind? Could there be something going on?
Therefore, Luo Yunhe kindly found a doctor to take her into the prison, where he examined Su Chenshi's injuries and even bandaged them.
After finishing his work, the doctor shook his head and left.
At this moment, Su Chenshi lay half-dead on the prison floor. Although she had been bandaged, her face was still very pale, and she was tightly clutching her arm.
However, Luo Yunhe knew clearly that a villain like him could not die easily, so she spoke without any politeness.
“Mrs. Su Chen, we’ve dealt with each other countless times and you know my character well. Once I discover you’re making any moves, I’ll definitely take ruthless action against you.”
How could someone as rude and impudent as you possibly think of persecuting the tribute wine? Besides, everyone knows that sabotaging the tribute wine is a serious crime of poisoning.
I'm giving you one chance. Tell me, is someone behind this instructing you to do this?
