Chapter 221 The Mastermind



When Luo Yunhe finished speaking, she stared intently at the other person, as if she wanted to bore a hole through them.

At this moment, Butler Wang stared intently at the other person. He didn't know where the other person's confidence came from, but he felt that something was wrong, yet he couldn't pinpoint what it was.

"As long as you have proof that the poison wasn't released by you, I won't pursue the matter any further!" After saying this arrogantly, he stopped looking at Luo Yunhe and decided to see what evidence she could produce.

"Wrong! If I produce evidence, it's not that you won't pursue this with me, but that I will continue to pursue you!" Luo Yunhe didn't want to argue with him anymore. After saying this, she stared intently at the county magistrate in front of her.

"Sir, please allow the witness to come up first!"

His words made the butler frown deeply, not understanding what he meant by the witness. But what happened next was completely unexpected.

After understanding Luo Luoyunhe's meaning, the county magistrate nodded and then had all the witnesses step forward.

Among the group that stepped forward were not only yamen runners, but also some well-known figures from outside the courtroom. When Steward Wang saw these people step forward, he stood there completely bewildered, not understanding what they were trying to do.

Seeing the other party's confused look, Luo Yunhe couldn't help but chuckle before speaking: "Butler Wang, are you feeling very confused right now? Why would they step forward at this time?"

Let me explain it to you slowly!

Luo Yunhe looked at him smugly. Butler Wang never expected Luo Yunhe's next words. He finally understood that the sales were really done by themselves.

“Back when your Wang family came to order wine, we discovered that your Wang family wasn’t just ordering wine from my shop, but from multiple shops. We were a little suspicious at the time.”

All the wineries in the entire county are owned by the same person, and all the wines they produce are of the same quality. How could you possibly order wine from multiple wineries?

This kind of strange news probably wouldn't attract much attention, but I was wary of it.

Before our Luo Family Winery supplied wine to your Wang family, I sought out officials and other prominent figures. With their witnessing, all of our wines were verified before being sealed in jars and delivered to your residence.

I'm just taking precautions. If nothing happens, that's best. If something does happen, then they'll all be witnesses.

Who would have thought you would act so carelessly, without even bothering to find out who I, Luo Yunhe, am, before daring to frame me?

"Now you've actually framed me. They are all witnesses who can testify. Moreover, the wines they inspected in pairs were all numbered. If you don't believe me, you can come and ask them yourself."

The local people can also testify that many people were loitering around our shop at the time, and they knew about this incident.

Butler Wang, what methods are you going to use to deal with me next? Or what methods are you going to use to frame me?

"Reporting to Your Excellency, we did indeed accept Boss Lu's invitation to inspect a batch of wines. Each batch of wines had a specific number on it, and the one I inspected was number 211!"

"We're checking 212..."

They all stepped forward and took out their numbers, forming groups of two, totaling more than ten people, which meant more than ten vats of wine.

After hearing this, his gaze fell on Butler Wang: "Someone, bring up all the wine that was brought back from the Wang family!"

Butler Wang was trembling inside. He couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe Luo Yunhe had such a trick up her sleeve. If he had already marked it and had someone check it, why had he waited more than ten days to bring out this evidence?

Just how terrifying is this woman that she made such a decision in advance and has endured it until now?

Before long, more than ten outlines were brought in from the yamen and placed on site. Under Yunhe's supervision, they found a set of numbers in every corner of the outlines, and these numbers matched the numbers they had in their hands.

The magistrate finally stopped holding back, slamming his gavel on the table and directly rebuking Steward Wang: "You audacious Steward Wang, you've framed someone for causing multiple poisonings! Do you have anything to say for yourself?"

Butler Wang could no longer stand up straight. He was already half-dead from the fright of the gavel. He knelt down with a thud, his whole body trembling: "I, I..."

"Sir, I think we should also invite Master Wang and his concubine Su Ruyi to the yamen."

The Wang family has encountered such a major problem, stemming from their own internal issues, yet they still attempt to frame others. This matter must be dealt with severely.

"Bring Master Wang and all his concubines to the courtroom..."

The officials rushed towards the Wang family with a large force, and the common people outside were already discussing the matter.

"Oh, the matter has finally been settled. Let me tell you, if it weren't for Boss Luo's instructions, I would have told you everything already!"

"That's right. I was there when Boss Luo invited them to inspect the wine. I was wondering who was so rich as to order so much wine and have it inspected on the spot. Who would have thought it would be the Wang family? But just two days later, the Wang family really did run into trouble."

"You all know the reason behind this, so why couldn't you tell me quietly? I thought there really was something wrong with Boss Luo's family, which made me very conflicted lately, unsure whether to patronize their restaurant..."

The local people outside were also discussing it animatedly, each one describing the events of that day in great detail.

The constables returned quickly, and the old master of the Wang family, along with all his family members, were invited to the main hall.

They were a little confused when the bailiffs came to their door. After hearing that it was about their birthday celebration a while ago, they followed the dentist. But who would have thought that after arriving at the court, they felt that something was wrong.

When Su Ruyi entered, her gaze fell on Butler Wang, and then she looked at Luo Yunhe standing there so carefree. Her face was full of anger.
