The latest chapter of the beautiful Princess of Poison!
Before dawn the next day, there were customers queuing up to buy spices.
No matter what Lao Li's purpose was, at least he still pretended to be a dutiful worker.
He got up early and followed his wife to clean the shop in front of them.
Knowing that there were people queuing up, he also moved out two long stools and prepared some hot water, which was praised by many people.
When Lin Mengya and those workers came in, they saw a clean and tidy shop. All the goods were neatly stacked and the customers were also queuing up with their number cards.
Lao Li stood at the door to welcome them with an uneasy face. Lin Mengya looked at them and nodded with satisfaction.
"Well done. It seems that I have taken advantage of you."
Old Li, on the other hand, was twisting the corner of his clothes. His honest face was filled with a simple and honest smile.
"As long as the boss doesn't mind."
"If you don't mind such diligent workers, we also need them. You go to the back and have some food. After this busy period, I will take you to catch up on your studies. "
The three people of the Li family thanked her profusely and left. Lin Mengya looked at their backs with some deep thoughts in her eyes.
Even if they were just pretending, the three people's acting skills were really superb.
From the looks of it, they were probably not ordinary spies.
Her eyes flashed and she turned around. She had already put on a gentle and kind smile and greeted today's customers.
The peak period at the beginning had passed. She tidied up a little and took Lao Li and his wife to the commercial department to catch up on their studies.
Just like when they entered the door, the people in the commercial department did not suspect the origin of Lao Li and his wife. They followed the normal procedures and gave them the certificate of workers. Then they rushed back.
But just at the intersection, they were stopped.
The leader was dressed in white, tall and strong, with a long knife hanging at his waist.
He frowned and asked impolitely, "Who is Mr. Bai of the spice shop on the corner?"
They looked at each other and Lin Mengya took the initiative to stand up and said politely, "I am. What can I do for you?"
The man's eyes were as sharp as a blade. After sizing her up, he suddenly ordered, "Take her down and bring her to the Public Security Department!"
Immediately, a group of people who looked like guards surrounded them, and Cai Ru subconsciously stood in front of her.
Old Li and his wife also seemed very flustered, but she felt that although the other party was surprised, they did not really panic.
It was obvious that today's play was not within the other party's script.
Old Li fully displayed his honest character. Perhaps he wanted to clarify things so that he wouldn't have to bear the responsibility.
He hurriedly stopped both sides and bowed respectfully to that lord.
"Sir, may I know what crime my master has committed? Look at her, she's a delicate woman. How does she look like an evil person who commits crimes? "
The man snorted coldly. "So what if you don't look like him? You can't judge a book by its cover. Get out of the way, don't get in our way!"
Intimidated by the other party, Old Li timidly dodged to the side, but his eyes were filled with doubt.
Seeing this, Lin Mengya already had some understanding in her heart. She calmly said to Old Li and his wife, "Since I'm innocent, I'm not afraid to go with this lord. Old Li, take them with you."
(This chapter is not over, please turn the page.)
Go home first. When I explain clearly, I'll naturally meet you. By the way, you have to pay more attention to the things in the shop. "
After that, she did not resist at all and let them take her away.
As for how Old Li would retaliate against his master, it was his own business.
In short, Lin Mengya was very eager to know what the other party's purpose was and who framed her behind her back.
The Public Security Department was the yamen responsible for the security of the Sacred City. The highest officer here was the sheriff she had used to deter thieves and thieves.
When she came to the Sacred City for the first time, because of her identity as a member of the Gong family, she didn't have much opportunity to contact the sheriff or the city guards.
Now she finally understood the hardships of the people at the bottom.
As soon as she entered the door, the person in charge of catching her put her in prison.
After asking around, she found out that this was a place used to temporarily detain prisoners who had not been tried.
But this was the Sacred City, and under normal circumstances, there would not be particularly bad cases.
So when she first came in, even the jailer in charge of guarding inside was a little surprised.
After the people in charge of escorting her left, the jailer actually secretly leaned against the door and asked her.
"What crime did you commit to get in here?"
Lin Mengya shook her head innocently.
"I don't know. I'm just a small businessman who does serious business. Who knew that I would have such a great blessing?"
This time, she did not deliberately disguise herself as ugly, but dressed up as a slightly immature little girl.
Probably because the jailer had not met a prisoner for a long time, he was not fierce at all, and even had the heart of a prophecy.
Seeing this, he comforted her in a low voice, "Since you are wrongly accused, don't worry. Our sheriff is quite wise."
She nodded and thanked the jailer softly.
She thought that she was the only one here, but found that there seemed to be other people inside, but she could not see clearly because of the door.
"Brother, is there anyone else inside?"
The jailer looked around and lowered his voice a little.
Maybe it was because there were not too many colleagues on duty here, and secondly, there were no prisoners, so the big brother could not help but start talking when he finally met someone who could chat with him.
"It's strange that there are not many people coming here all year round. You have been in here for two this month. Hey, but the one inside is different from you. He came in on his own accord. "
She had heard of people surrendering themselves to the police, but she had never heard of someone voluntarily asking to come to prison.
Feeling curious, she could not help but ask a few more questions, but the jailer just said some unimportant things and then changed the topic.
The two had not talked for a long time, and someone came to interrogate her.
The jailer secretly warned her a few words, then opened the cell door and asked someone to take her away.
After all, this place was different from the yamen outside. To put it bluntly, even if these people made the most serious mistake, they would be expelled from the Sacred City and never be allowed to enter again.
But today, she felt that the atmosphere was a little different. As soon as she entered the door, someone accused, "It's her! The sheriff is her! It must be her who killed our boss! "
Lin Mengya looked, oh, wasn't this the guy who accused her in the guest room of stealing their spices?
(This chapter is not over, please turn the page.)
"I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
He denied it very neatly three times. Seeing that it was this guy, she did not panic at all.
The shop assistant continued to accuse her of being the murderer while sniffling and crying. The other shop assistants also began to add fuel to the fire.
Who was Lin Mengya? She did not lose to anyone in the battle of words.
The originally quiet and orderly hall instantly turned into a wet market.
"Shut up, be quiet!"
The low and somewhat impatient command made both sides instantly quiet down.
Then the sheriff sitting in the hall asked, "Are you Mr. Bai of the spice shop on the corner of the street?"
She nodded and generously let the sheriff look at her. Her attitude was also respectful.
"Hello, sheriff. I'm Bai Jing, the owner of the spice shop on the corner of the street."
The sheriff looked at the woman in front of him sharply. Before arresting her, he had already taken the information of this person from the commercial department.
Judging from the existing materials, she was indeed just an ordinary small spice merchant.
"Do you know why I captured you and brought you here today?"
Lin Mengya shook her head very honestly.
"I don't know."
The sheriff narrowed his eyes and suddenly said seriously, "Last night in the Lianfu Guest House, a spice merchant died. This person had a conflict with you before he died. I ask you, do you have it?"
She nodded. Many people were present when it happened that day, so she didn't need to hide it.
Seeing that she admitted it, the guy immediately began to shout again.
"Your Excellency, she admitted that she killed him. Please uphold justice for our boss!"
Lin Mengya sneered and said, "Is there something in your ears? When did I admit that I killed someone?"
"Your Excellency." She looked up at the sheriff, "Although I'm deeply sorry for what happened, I didn't kill anyone. And I stayed in my shop last night and never went out. No matter who died or who killed him, it has nothing to do with me. "
"How can it have nothing to do with you? You just want to take revenge on my boss!"
The guy looked angry, pointed at her, and accused her again and again.
"Your Excellency, the reason why this person wanted to kill my boss was that she had exchanged the goods of my boss before. After being seen through by my boss, she took advantage of her power to bully him and forced my boss to suffer this loss. This time, she must have thought that my boss might report this matter to the sheriff, so she wanted to take the initiative to gain the upper hand! "
Lin Mengya wanted to applaud this genius scriptwriter. Confusing right and wrong and turning black and white upside down were absolutely textbook level.
If he hadn't said it about her, even she would have thought that she was a bully.
But a lie was a lie. Lin Mengya didn't rush to defend herself, but just said lightly.
"There needs to be evidence for everything. No matter how wonderful your story is, I didn't even go out last night. I really don't know which eye of yours saw it. It's as if you were on the scene when your boss died. "
Her words made the guy's face change.
Lin Mengya's attention was fixed on him, so she naturally captured this short moment of emotional change.
It seemed that this little guy was very useful.
