Chapter 170: I found the murderer

At this time, Lin Shenzi was like a sow entering a narrow alley, stuck between a rock and a hard place.

If she agreed, what if something was really found out, wouldn't she be dead?

But if she didn't agree, it was equivalent to clearly telling others that she had a problem. After all, Du Shi had offered a price of one thousand taels; unless she was a thief with a guilty conscience, no one could refuse such a temptation.

Du Shi, what a good method!

Lin Shenzi's eyeballs turned frantically, and finally, she gritted her teeth and put on a posture of a brave person without fear. "Not leaving the house is fine, I walk straight and sit upright, am I afraid of you?"

Du Ruo smiled sarcastically.

Not afraid is fine, she hoped she could be this tough on the day of her beheading.

Seeing Lin Shenzi agree, the Jiang Clan Head immediately ordered people to send her home and watch her all night.

Lin You Tian gave Du Ruo a fierce look, flicked his sleeves, and followed.

Lin Qingshuang was still calm, but she said a sentence when passing by Du Ruo: "Jiang Eldest Sister-in-law, being too confident will get you slapped in the face. Don't regret it when the time comes and be reluctant to part with that one thousand taels of silver."

"Then let's wait and see who will be slapped in the face in the end." Du Ruo curled her lips coldly.

Lin Qingshuang didn't say anything else and walked away with her spine straight.

This night was destined to be sleepless.

Although the villagers all went home, few could sleep, tossing and turning on the bed like pancakes, some happy and some sad.

I don't know if those people from the Jiang Family's Second Branch are dead or not, and whether the murderer is Lin Shenzi.

One thousand taels of silver, some people were so greedy their eyes were red.

And as the person involved, Du Ruo, couldn't sleep even if she wanted to.

The poison had been neutralized, but the internal organs of Zheng Shi and the others had suffered obvious damage, especially the symptoms of stomach bleeding were quite serious.

Du Ruo didn't immediately exchange for therapeutic drugs, but waited for the doctor from the town.

The doctor arrived in the middle of the night, and like the previous Wen Shiyuan, he was carried back by Jiang Tong under his arm.

"Deeply poisoned, the pulse is barely there, only the last breath remains." The doctor shook his head and quickly wrote a prescription. "Do your best and listen to heaven's will. If they can survive these three days, they can save their lives. But even if they recover, their bodies will be much worse than before, and their lifespan will be damaged."

Meaning, even if they recover, they will be sick, and won't live long.

Du Ruo cried very appropriately.

The Jiang Clan Head sighed, thanked the doctor with a face full of sadness, saying sorry for the trouble, it's so late and you still came for a visit, and stuffed a few dozen wen of hard-earned money to the doctor.

Then he had Jiang Tong send the person back, and by the way, buy the medicine back.

As soon as they left, Du Ruo's crying stopped abruptly, and the sorrow on the old man Jiang's face disappeared without a trace.

The two looked at each other and both snorted with laughter.

Du Ruo said *hehe*, "Clan Head Grandpa's face-changing skill is not bad."

"Can't compare to you." The Jiang Clan Head hummed. "Tears come as soon as you say, crying as if it were real."

He looked at Du Ruo suspiciously. "Before you recovered your appearance, you wouldn't have used this trick to take down Eldest Son, right?"

Otherwise, how could Jiang Li cherish an ugly wife so much?

Du Ruo was speechless. "Clan Head Grandpa, a woman's tears can indeed conquer a man, but there is a prerequisite: those who look good are called pear blossoms in the rain; those who don't look good are called ghosts crying and wolves howling. Are you sure Jiang Li was conquered by my tears?"

The Jiang Clan Head imagined Du Ruo crying with a face full of pustules and couldn't help but shiver.

Forget it, just pretend he didn't say anything.

Since the doctor's testimony was ready, Du Ruo had no scruples and immediately exchanged for the medicine and fed it to Zheng Shi and the others.

Otherwise, it was really possible that they would be sick like the doctor said, unable to do any work.

And destined to be short-lived ghosts.

After feeding the medicine, Du Ruo let Yao Yulan and her two sisters-in-law go back to rest, and she would take care of them alone.

She originally wanted to persuade the Jiang Clan Head to go back, but the old man refused, insisting on guarding them.

Du Ruo had no choice but to let him be.

The rooster crowed the first time, and then crowed the second time.

When the rooster crowed the third time, Jiang Li returned, covered in cold air and with a dozen Bu Kuai, and a coroner.

As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Li went straight to his sister's room, confirmed that Jiang Wan was still alive, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he immediately went to check on the others, and the big stone in his heart was finally put down.

Heaven knows how tormented he was on this journey, worry, fear, anger, various emotions circling and churning in the depths of his heart, wishing he could teleport and step to the door in one step.

Jiang Li pulled Du Ruo into the room and closed the door.

"Wife..." He held his wife tightly in his arms, his firm chin resting on her soft head, his voice carrying obvious lingering fear. "Fortunately, fortunately you are all fine."

Otherwise, he really didn't know how to live on.

Du Ruo was originally fine, but hearing Jiang Li's voice, for some reason, tears suddenly rolled down inexplicably.

Her strength, courage, and calmness seemed like sand blown by the wind, scattering all over the ground in an instant.

"Jiang Li, I'm very scared..." She buried her face in the man's broad chest, her tone choked with grievance.

Jiang Li felt even more distressed, patting his wife's back like coaxing a child. "Alright, don't be afraid, I'm back, leave the rest to me."

He said coldly, "No matter who the poisoner is, I will definitely find them and let them die without a burial place!"

The poisoner? Du Ruo hurriedly wiped away her tears with Jiang Li's clothes, then raised her head. "Husband, I might have found the murderer."

Jiang Li was a bit surprised. "Who is it?"

"It's Lin Shenzi."

Du Ruo told the story of last night in detail, and finally said, "I am 80% sure it is her, because she has this motive and this ability."

Who in Longquan Village didn't know that Lin Qingshuang had deep roots of love for Jiang Li and couldn't extricate herself?

Then, in order for her daughter to get her wish, Lin Shenzi poisoned Jiang Li's original wife, Du Ruo, which was reasonable.

As for Zheng Shi, Jiang Wan, and the others, they should just be cannon fodder.

It just so happened that the people of the Jiang Family's Second Branch and the dog were busy at the construction site recently, and no one was at home, so it was very possible that Lin Shenzi sneaked into the house.

Jiang Li also thought of these, his hatred for the three members of the Lin family reaching the extreme, and he sneered, "Sure enough, still not changing her nature, then this time, let them have a good lesson."

The couple discussed for a while and then walked out of the room.

The coroner stepped forward to report: "Jiang Head, it has been verified, there is indeed a very heavy amount of rat poison in the water vat, including the unfinished food on the table, all of which are poisonous."

Jiang Li had expected this and nodded. "Record it in the file."

Then he turned and called Wang Bujiu, asking him to take a few people to the town to investigate and see if Lin Shenzi had bought rat poison recently.

Master Jiang walked over and said, "You wait a moment, I'll draw a portrait of Lü Xiuhua for you, to facilitate the shopkeeper's identification."

Worthy of being a county scholar, not only was his painting excellent, but his memory was also good, and he finished it in just a quarter of an hour.

Even the bean-sized red mole on Lin Shenzi's earlobe was lifelike.

Du Ruo clicked her tongue in wonder; if she didn't believe in Master Jiang's character, she would have suspected that Master Jiang had a crush on Lin Shenzi; this observation was too detailed. ===== CHAPTER 171 =====
