Shengjing Noble

Chapter 250: Killing an egg against a stone

Su Lanyin looked at them with relief, and at the same time she noticed that the tall and thin man was winking at a man next to him.

She instantly realized that this group of people came here deliberately to cause trouble.

In Qiu County, apart from the Su family who had a grudge against them and would maliciously frame them, the only one left should be Wang Tao who fled for fear of punishment.

At this moment, Su Yongcheng was eager for her to appease the people as soon as possible so that he could report to the emperor and claim the credit.

So it is impossible to engage in any conspiracy at this critical juncture.

So if the Su family is excluded, only Wang Tao is left.

She hadn't had time to settle accounts with this grandson yet, but he actually came to her door. In that case, don't blame her for being cruel.

A short and thin young man nearby understood the look in his eyes, and immediately threw away the bowl in his hand, holding his stomach and howling.

"Ah! My stomach..."

The bowl, which was already cracked, was smashed to pieces, the rice porridge scattered all over the floor, and the steamed bun, which had been bitten twice, rolled to the side.

The people felt extremely distressed when watching this scene and they wished they could lie on the ground and lick it clean.

Su Lanyin knew their plan clearly, but she was not in a hurry. She just crossed her arms and waited like watching a show.

The thin man curled up like a shrimp and rolled back and forth in pain.

"Oh my tummy...my tummy hurts so much..."

The tall and thin man glanced at Su Lanyin, then rushed over and knelt down, crying and shouting.

"Third brother, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me. You are my only brother..."

"Brother... my stomach... hurts so much... the food is poisonous..."

Before he could finish his words, his eyes rolled back and he passed out.

Now, the scene suddenly became chaotic and the people fell into anxiety.

Those who received rice porridge and steamed buns swallowed droolingly at the food in their hands, but when they thought that it might be poisonous, they immediately dared not eat it.

Those who didn't receive it were even more panicked.

The tall and thin man glared at Su Lanyin with confidence.

"It's you! You, this vicious woman, actually poisoned us! Everyone, don't believe her!"

This statement aroused public indignation.

"Such good food was poisoned. What a sin!"

"Why is it so difficult for ordinary people to have a full meal? Imperial court, what on earth are you doing?"

"We just want to have a meal to fill our stomachs, but you want to kill us!"

……

Seeing that everyone was getting more and more excited, the girls who were distributing food could no longer stand.

Ye Wan even picked up a steamed bun and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense! We sisters steamed this bun together. If it's poisonous, I'll be the first to die!"

After saying that, he took a big bite without hesitation, chewed it a few times and swallowed it. As a result, his face suddenly looked wrong.

Her face flushed as she reached out to grab the girl next to her, whimpering in pain.

The girl was terrified: "No, it can't be poisonous..."

Su Lanyin couldn't help rolling her eyes and picked up a bowl of porridge for Ye Wan to drink.

"Uh……"

After drinking a mouthful of porridge, Ye Wan's expression instantly eased. She took a breath and said awkwardly, "Sorry, I choked because I ate too fast just now!"

Everyone: "..."

Su Lanyin hurriedly explained, "Everyone calm down, don't let yourself be taken advantage of by bad people with ulterior motives. I have no grudges against you all, so there is no need to go to such lengths to poison the food. Besides, the people who received the steamed buns and porridge and ate them are fine, so why did these two brothers have to make such a fuss?"

After she said this, the people finally reacted.

"Yeah! I was wondering why it was so weird. What's going on?"

"Since the porridge and steamed buns are not poisonous, what's wrong with this person?"

"We were getting our steamed buns just fine, but this guy suddenly came out to cause trouble. Could he be doing this on purpose?"

"But his brother doesn't look like he's pretending. There's no need to risk his life, right?"

……

Su Lanyin smiled softly: "Of course he won't lose his life, because he is not dead at all!"

After saying that, he was about to step forward to check the thin man's pulse himself, but the tall and thin man immediately protected his brother's body in his arms to prevent her from getting close.

"Don't touch my brother. Isn't it enough that you poisoned him to death? If you dare to come near me again, I will report you to the police!"

As soon as these words came out, a sharp voice sounded from behind the crowd.

"I am the daughter of the county magistrate. Who would want to report me to the authorities?"

Everyone looked back and saw Su Lanxin and Liu Ruyan coming towards them one after another.

As the saying goes, enemies often meet in a narrow road, and enemies become jealous of each other when they meet.

Su Lanyin's expression did not change, but the hatred in Su Lanxin's eyes grew day by day, deeper than before, and she didn't even try to conceal it.

The tall and thin man seemed to have found a backer and quickly asked for help: "County Magistrate's daughter, please help my brother. Their porridge and steamed buns have poisoned my brother!"

Su Lanxin was worried about not finding an opportunity, but now she couldn't hide her excitement in her eyes.

"Well, Su Lanyin, you actually dared to poison me. Old man, capture her and these rabble!"

After saying that, the officers behind him immediately rushed forward and wanted to attack Su Lanyin.

Upon seeing this, A'mo immediately stood in front and stretched out his hands to protect her, his eyes full of ferocity.

"If anyone dares to get close to my girl, don't blame me for being rude!"

In the past, A'mo was taciturn and only knew how to do things for her, and she had never seen him so angry.

Su Lanyin found it very novel.

Su Lanxin said disdainfully: "You are just a dog slave, trying to hit a rock with an egg! Come on!"

She shouted loudly, and the officers immediately swarmed over.

A'mo immediately used his fists and feet to knock down the first wave of officers who rushed over.

Su Lanxin was furious: "How dare you resist? Su Lanyin, are you tired of living?"

"Humph, you are not the county magistrate, why do you arrest me? Besides, what evidence do you have to prove that this person was poisoned to death by me? You have no evidence, are you trying to frame me? Su Lanxin, you are so bold!"

Su Lanyin's expression was stern, and her whole body was filled with the domineering aura of a superior. Even those officials who were ready to make moves did not dare to act rashly.

"County Lady... This girl is actually the County Lady?"

"Isn't that much bigger than the county magistrate?"

"How could a county lady harm an unknown person for no reason?"

"This is obviously a misunderstanding. Maybe these two brothers are teaming up to blackmail me!"

"The county lady was kind enough to distribute food to us, but these two people had ulterior motives. How despicable!"

"Check it out quickly, maybe that dwarf is just pretending to be dead!"

……

The people all stood up for Su Lanyin.

Su Lanxin yelled angrily, "The person died here. You must be responsible for it no matter if it has anything to do with you. Even if you are the county lord, so what? The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Why don't you just follow me back to the government office and accept my father's interrogation!"
