Tian's little cook

Chapter 472 Waiting

The county magistrate of Guo began to try the poisoning case again, and asked the yamen servant to bring Wang Shun up.

Wang Shun explained the whole process of making bean curd, claiming that he did it exactly according to her method after watching Lin Zhimo do it in Jukefang that day.

Lin Zhimo smiled slightly: "Chef Wang, you have a bad habit. When the shopkeeper Qin was here, you learned the signature dishes in the store and ran back to Jukefang. gone."

Wang Shun blushed at what she said.

Lin Zhimo continued: "Report to County Magistrate Guo, the steps of making bean curd that Wang Shun said just now are correct, but they didn't expect that the amount of brine that Li Liangcai and Lin Zhen'er stole from me has already happened. changed."

The others immediately looked at her.

"The brine block that Wang Shun uses today is three times the amount of brine block in the bottle I used before. They mistakenly thought that the amount was the same as before, so they poured it all in, and poisoned more than a dozen diners."

There was an uproar in the room, but it was unexpected that the cause of the poisoning was due to excessive dosage.

County magistrate Guo had already heard Zhang Langzhong's explanation, so he was not surprised: "Is there a way to prove it?"

"Yes." Lin Zhimo nodded: "The bottle I used before is still there. After putting the brine block in it, you can weigh the weight of the brine block in the two bottles separately, which should be three times."

"Okay." County magistrate Guo believed her words were correct, "Now the matter has been found out, Li Liangcai and Lin Zhen'er stole the marinade in Ju Ke Fang, and Lin Zhen'er also stole the skin care cream."

"The two sold the brine block to shopkeeper Zeng. The shopkeeper Zeng and Wang Shun didn't know that the content of the brine block in the bottle had changed, and they still operated according to the previous method, causing the diners to be poisoned."

County Magistrate Guo recounted the case and asked, "Do the four of you still have doubts about the case?"

"It's gone." All four of them were downcast.

The county magistrate Guo stood up: "According to the law of our court, both the thief and the person who bought the stolen goods are convicted according to the price of the stolen goods. Lin Zhimo, what is the total value of these brine blocks and skin care cream?"

Linguo clenched her palms tightly, feeling very nervous.

He had heard last year that a man was imprisoned for three months after stealing five taels worth of things.

With such a large amount this time, Lin Zhen'er will definitely be imprisoned for a longer period of time.

Lin Zhimo didn't answer immediately: "Magistrate Guo, I need to calculate the price of everything again, and I can't give a specific amount yet."

Guo County Magistrate did not ask her to calculate it now: "Okay, when the class opens again tomorrow afternoon, you will quote the final price to me."

Then, he said: "Zeng Yongda and Wang Shun caused others to be poisoned due to their negligence. According to the law of our dynasty, they will be fined [-] taels and a fine of [-] taels."

Fifty blows with the board of the yamen servant will not kill him, but he will still take half his life.

Shopkeeper Zeng has always been pampered and pampered, with a fat body, he couldn't bear it, so he quickly kowtowed and pleaded: "Please forgive the county master, I know I made a mistake, and I will never do it again."

The county magistrate Guo told him to shut up, "Wait until the price of the brine block is calculated tomorrow, and you will be punished for buying stolen goods and negligent poisoning."

County magistrate Guo waved his hand, "Take the four of them to jail."

"Yes." Several yamen servants stepped forward and pulled them up from the ground.

Lin Zhen'er immediately shouted back: "Father, mother, save me, save me quickly."

Li Liangcai also shouted: "Father, help me!"

Although Lin Guo and Li Ran were in a hurry, they didn't dare to push the yamen servants away and could only watch them being escorted away from where they were.
