Chapter 19: Chapter Eighteen: True and False Star Anise
Qin Yu was sure that Dashiju was responsible, but he couldn't figure out how to poison him. Seeing Murong De hurriedly carrying raw licorice to the kitchen, Qin Yu was suddenly enlightened as if he had been hit by an apple. The links are all connected, and he completely understands!

"What a ruthless method, what a meticulous plan, what a sinister food house!" After thinking it over, Qin Yu couldn't help but secretly startled. Fortunately, he is here today, otherwise the world of food will be extremely miserable, and there may even be troubles. Life is equal to life.

"The medicine is here, the medicine is here!" Murongde ran out with a tray, on which were placed seven or eight porcelain bowls, the bowls were steaming with the unique smell of raw licorice.

"Hurry up and give it to the person with the most serious symptoms first. Don't worry, I, Qin Yu, promise that no accident will happen to everyone. I will expose the real culprit of this poisoning incident later." Qin Yu shook the audience and said After finishing, he took a bowl of decoction and walked towards Li Butou.

Liu Yunshan showed a subtle sneer, the frame-up plan was flawless, in order to achieve the effect, he and Liu He even poisoned themselves, which can be said to have eliminated the last loophole, even if Qin Yu identified them as the real culprits, no one would believe it.

Since no one would believe it, the accusation would be a false accusation, and the complaints would be brought to the Yamen, or even to the Ziwu Academy. Without evidence, no one would be able to help Qin Yu, on the contrary, Qin Yu would be ruined.

"Li Butou, drink it quickly." Qin Yu helped Li Butou, blew a little, and poured the whole bowl of soup into it.

Li Butou is also a martial arts practitioner, and with the protection of food energy in his body, the symptoms of poisoning are not too serious. After drinking the medicine, his pale face soon turned red.

After a long breath, Li Butou gasped and said, "Qin Dashi, I believe that you definitely did not inflict the poison, but the poison did come from the kitchen where food is the sky. How do you explain this?"

Qin Yu said: "It is true that the poison came from the kitchen where food is what matters, but this food poisoning was a conspiracy from the beginning to the end, and it was a very sinister conspiracy. I will expose the real culprit later, and I will ask Li to arrest the head and report it to the county magistrate Wang." Summons, ask him to come with officers and soldiers."

"Okay, I'll send a message to the county magistrate." Li catcher nodded, took out the official seal and began to pass the letter to the county magistrate Wang. In fact, he also believed that Shi Weitian was innocent. After all, there has never been a poisoning incident in a century-old store. Well, it just happened that he won the Shiji yesterday, and it happened today. It was too coincidental that one couldn't help but suspect Dashiju.

After the interrogation was over, Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, Murong Xue concentrated on decocting the medicine, Murong Fu ran errands to deliver the medicine, and he and Murong De took care of the medicine.

After about half an hour, all the poisoned people took the decoction, and the symptoms of poisoning began to ease. The sooner they drink the medicine, the better the effect. They have gradually gained strength and can sit and breathe.

Seeing that no one was killed, the Murong father and son were relieved, and hurriedly cleaned the broken dishes and vomit on the floor. The sour smell of a good restaurant is really unpleasant.

Liu He was panting heavily and covered in cold sweat, pointing at Murong De and cursing in a trembling voice: "You can't even tell the difference between star anise and red fennel, and you use poisonous fake star anise to cook, you are ashamed of the word "big food", I see food For God’s sake, there’s no need to keep driving it!”

Liu Yunshan sneered and said, "Cooking with poisonous and fake spices is a taboo in the food industry. If you violate this taboo, it's easy to smash the sign and close the door. If it's serious, you may even be jailed for a heavy sentence."

"That's right. It almost cost me my life. This account cannot be settled easily."

"I have an 80-year-old mother and a three-year-old child. If I die, who will take care of them? I can't forget it, I must give an explanation!"

"Give me an explanation, otherwise today will not be over!"

The people at the same table as Liu He started making noise, and some people at other tables also booed.

Murong Xue hid in the back kitchen, listening to the angrily shouting and the sound of plates breaking in the front hall, her face turned pale with fright, her eyes were full of grievances but she didn't know what to say, so she hugged her legs and curled up behind the door and wept.

"The villain sued first, do you think I don't know who did it? Yesterday you lost the Shiji, and today Shiweitian got food poisoning, what a coincidence, isn't it?" Qin Yu sneered.

Everyone looked at Liu He, and Liu He's beard twitched angrily: "Framing, you are Chiguoguo's framing. I haven't left my seat since I entered the door, and I haven't even gone to the latrine. How dare you say I poisoned you? I also gave a gift of a hundred taels of silver, so I spent 100 taels just to play with poisoning?"

Everyone felt reasonable after hearing this. Although Dashiju was suspected, it was unreasonable for Liu He to send money to poison himself, not to mention that Liu He had never left his seat.

Just at this moment, there was the sound of orderly footsteps outside the door, and two ranks of officers and soldiers surrounded the gate of Shiweitian. County magistrate Wang walked in with his official uniform and a cold face. He already knew the general idea in the biography, Shen Sheng asked: "What's going on?"

"That's what happened..." Catcher Li hurried over to meet him, chirping and quacking, recounting what had happened, this fellow was quite eloquent, and explained things clearly and orderly.

County Magistrate Wang nodded and said, "I understand. The red fennel in the dishes came from the kitchen where Food is the Heaven, and caused food poisoning. Qin Dashi suspects that it was done by Dashi, right?"

"That's right, it's exactly what Dashi Residence did." Qin Yu said.

Liu He immediately shouted for injustice: "My lord, the county magistrate, I, Liu He, are innocent. I have never done anything evil since I was a child. This time, we were convinced that we lost by eating the halberd, so we brought a hundred taels of silver to congratulate. The sky doesn't distinguish between true and false, cooking with poisonous spices, causing food poisoning for everyone. No matter how stupid I am, Liu He, I won't spend a hundred taels of silver for poisoning."

"That's right, Shi Weitian took the opportunity to blame us for his own fault, and we were also poisoned. Would we make fun of our own lives?" Liu Yunshan interjected.

County magistrate Wang frowned and said, "Qin Dashi, do you have any evidence to identify Dashiju? If there is no evidence, this county magistrate can only believe what he sees. After all, the poison did come from your own kitchen."

"Of course I have evidence." Qin Yu glared at Liu He, then turned his head and shouted towards the kitchen, "Axue, come here."

After waiting for a while, Murong Xue came out of the back kitchen tremblingly, looking very pitiful with a shrunken and fearful look, her eyes were red and swollen like walnuts, she lowered her head and clenched her hands tightly, extremely nervous.

Seeing Murong Xue's appearance, both Murong De and Murong Fu showed distressed looks, but the dish was fried by Murong Xue, so it was an unshirkable responsibility for not distinguishing the fake star anise.

Qin Yu secretly sighed in his heart, and hastily walked over to hold Murong Xue's little hand. He was too busy just now, too busy detoxifying and thinking about problems, so that he ignored Murong Xue's mood. Just looking at her eyes, he knew that he had been crying for a long time.
