If Lu Baichuan remembered correctly, there was such wet mud next to the well in the backyard, because when water was drawn, it would splash outside.

Generally, only people who have been to wells will get this kind of mud on their shoes.

Lu Baichuan walked over and said, "Let him go."

The people from Huoyun Division made way for him. The scholar was very surprised and thanked Lu Baichuan. Hurry out.

Lu Baichuan said to one of his men: "Follow us and see what he is going to do?"

"Yes!"

Lu Baichuan He walked into the courtyard and saw Leizi and the others standing next to Kang Xiucai with nothing to do, so he waved to them to come over.

Several people ran over like a storm and asked excitedly: "Uncle Third, is something okay?"

"Well, do you know the scholar who just went out? ?”

Leizi nodded and said, “I know him, his name is Meng Zhang, and we usually have a pretty good relationship with Mr. Kang.”

Lu Baichuan asked again : "Does he have a servant waiting by his side?"

"Yes, but his servant seems not to be here today, and I haven't seen him until now."

Lei Zi scratched his head strangely. He really didn't see Meng Zhang's boy today. Where was he?

"Let's go, take me to where he lives."

Lu Baichuan walked inside with his hands behind his back, already making up his mind.

The person who poisoned him was probably Meng Zhang.

Leizi and others were relatively simple, and they were a little embarrassed when they heard this: "Isn't this not good?"

Lu Baichuan said seriously: "What if he is the poisoner? ?"

"Huh? No way?"

Leizi's eyes widened: "Brother Meng is in the same class as our husband and lives in the same courtyard. On weekdays, The relationship is very good."

"Then was he on the list today?"

"Ah, it seems not..."

Lei Zi had already understood, but he thought that when they came here to play before, Meng Zhang would bring them the pastries he bought.

They still have a very good impression of Brother Meng.

Lu Baichuan was not surprised at all, and continued: "You said that he has a good relationship with Mr. Kang. Such a big thing happened with Mr. Kang today. Has he ever come to care about it? Also? , everything is fine, why is his servant missing?”

Lei Zi had nothing to say, and lowered his head.The leader took Lu Baichuan to Meng Zhang's house.

There is nothing special about Meng Zhang’s house, but the house outside looks a bit messy. It seems that he got up and went out in a hurry while still sleeping, and then he hasn’t come back to clean it up yet. bed.

Lu Baichuan stepped forward and took a closer look. He rummaged around and found nothing special.

Leizi said: "Uncle San, his package is gone. We have been here before, and his package was always placed on the bedside, because he said there were some things in the package that needed to be taken out and put away. It’s very convenient here.”

Others nodded when they saw it.

Lu Baichuan called Lou Chong in and ordered: "Go and arrest people."

"Yes."

Kang Xiucai and several other colleagues People living in the yard saw it and came over to watch the fun, with disbelief on their faces.

Meng Zhang usually had a good relationship with them.

But today, the first three people in the yard were successful, but he and the other one were the only ones who failed.

The other one has money in his family, but he doesn’t like to study. He is forced to study by his family, and he doesn’t study hard at all, so he doesn’t react much to the fact that he didn’t win.

Several others came from poor families and wanted to change their destiny through the imperial examination, so everyone worked hard.

Today, Meng Zhang failed to pass the exam, and everyone quietly discussed not to show too much excitement and make Meng Zhang feel uncomfortable.

But when they all drank tea and felt uncomfortable in their stomachs, Meng Zhang did not come to say hello. He stayed in his room and hurried out just now.

What the truth is seems to be ready to come out.

Several new candidates who had passed the imperial examination stood on the ground looking at each other. They really couldn’t believe that Meng Zhang did it, but all the evidence that could be found now pointed to Meng Zhang. It seemed that there was nothing to do. He justified it.

Kang Xiucai also looked like he was shocked. He stood there and didn't make a sound for a long time.

As for the government servants who came to congratulate me, they originally came to congratulate me, but they didn't expect that they would suffer disaster just after taking a sip of tea. Now they can't leave even if they want to, so they can only wait a while to see the doctor together.

There used to be people from other yards coming to watch the fun at the door, but now they have all left quietly. Sometimes, it is bad luck to eat melons that are not very good.

At this time, He Jiuniang came, still holding the sleeping dog in her arms.

When Lu Baichuan saw this, he hurried over to pick up his son.

He Jiuniang shook her headWith some numb hands, he asked: "What's going on now?"

"It was initially confirmed that the person who administered the drug was Meng Zhang, who was in the same hospital. He was jealous and poisoned the water. We have sent people to arrest him. The details are The reason will not be known until the interrogation."

Lu Baichuan replied, and then asked He Jiuniang: "Why did you come here?"

"After reading it to the patients, you know this There are poisoned people nearby, so I came over to take a look, so as to save so many people here from running to the hospital."

He Jiuniang sighed, this was originally a good day, but it turned out like this. The poisoner is really vicious.

Kang Xiucai knew how busy He Jiuniang was. Seeing that He Jiuniang still took the time to come over to help him, the guilt in her heart was beyond words.

He Jiuniang pretended not to see his remorseful expression, and said to the group of people who were poisoned: "Bring me a long table to the yard, and then line up one by one to lie down and get acupuncture."

Are you asking them to lie on the table in the yard and get acupuncture?

Everyone’s face looked a little ugly, but in order to detoxify, this was the only way.

When He Jiuniang saw this, she understood the awkward thoughts of these ancients and said: "The light in the yard is good and it is not easy to make mistakes. Let's just make do with it."

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter, doctor comes to detoxify us personally!"

One scholar immediately smiled and said, and the others also said that it was okay, they could do it!

He Jiuniang nodded and asked the little medicine boy who followed to prepare everything she needed.

Although the poison in them is the same, because of their different physiques and the different dosages of tea they drink, the dosage of the antidote is different for each person. He Jiu Niang looks beautiful at everyone. It is very troublesome to prescribe a prescription and cook the medicine separately. Even the acupuncture points are different.

When the second person was reached, Meng Zhang, who had run out before, was brought back.

"Let me go, why are you arresting me? Can you officials arrest people at will?"

Meng Zhang's face was filled with anger, and he looked like he was It's like being wronged.

But everyone has listened to Lu Baichuan’s analysis and is sure that he poisoned the water. Seeing him like this, they have no sympathy at all.

"Meng Zhang, we get along pretty well on weekdays, why do you want to poison us!"

There was an impatient man who couldn't control himself, so he stood up and questioned Meng Zhang Zhang.
