I married the wrong man, and I sent him and his whole family to be executed.

Chapter 148 The poisoner



Chapter 148 The poisoner

In less than an incense stick of time, County Magistrate Lin had arranged everything for them.

Chu Yuheng and Yunhua opened the window of the room and climbed out.

Because Yunhua had taken a tour around the mansion last time, he had a general understanding of the patrol range of the Lin Mansion guards and the direction of the firewood room.

So soon they arrived around the woodshed.

Shortly after Chu Yuheng left, County Magistrate Lin suddenly called Yu Wangfei out from outside the room.

Why was she allowed to go out at this time? Could it be that Chu Yuheng and Yunhua were arrested?

No, it's absolutely impossible. Chu Yuheng's skills make it impossible for him to be caught.

Yu Wangfei cautiously opened a crack in the door and walked out. He felt relieved when he found that Chu Yuheng and Yun Hua were not around County Magistrate Lin.

"What's the matter, Lord Lin?" Yu Wangfei raised his eyebrows and asked.

County Magistrate Lin glanced into the house, and Yu Wangfei hurriedly explained: "They are refining medicine. If you have anything, just tell me."

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Lin did not pursue the matter further. Instead, he waved to the back and the butler brought up a young man dressed as a scholar.

Upon closer inspection, the young man turned out to be Li Xingtang.

Li Xingtang's originally clean and tidy clothes had now become tattered, and the corners of his eyes seemed to have been punched and were extremely red and swollen.

Seeing this scene, Yu Wangfei was full of questions. She didn't understand why County Magistrate Lin wanted to arrest Li Xingtang and why he brought him in front of her.

"What's this, Lord Lin?" Yu Wangfei asked tentatively.

It was hard to judge without knowing the whole story, so she could only wait for the person in front of her to tell her the truth.

"He is the one who poisoned my daughter!" County Magistrate Lin shouted angrily.

Originally, County Magistrate Lin had no intention of bringing this man before Yu Wangfei, after all, family disgrace should not be made public. But when he saw Yu Wangfei refining medicine in the room without any results, he thought that only by seeing the person who drugged the medicine and understanding the pharmacology could he make an antidote.

That's why the butler brought the person up.

"Miss doctor, now that you have seen the person who poisoned the food, can the antidote be prepared earlier?" County Magistrate Lin looked at Yu Wangfei expectantly.

He hoped his daughter could wake up soon.

Chu Yuheng hadn't arrived yet, so Yu Wangfei could only change the subject hastily: "Did he poison her? Why did he poison her?"

"Don't ask too many questions about this miracle doctor." County Magistrate Lin did not respond, his eyes revealing a bit of cruelty.

Knowing that she couldn't ask any more questions, Yu Wangfei changed the subject. She looked at Li Xingtang and asked, "Which herbs are used to make this poison?"

She wanted to know whether the poison was given to Li Xingtang by Old Man Mo Ying, and what the relationship was between that mountain village and Old Man Mo Ying.

Why does the second in command of the village know the medical skills of old man Mo Ying, and the third in command of the village has old man Mo Ying's poison.

"I won't tell you." Li Xingtang smiled with relief.

"How dare you!" County Magistrate Lin was so angry that he slapped Li Xingtang in the face, "Tell me now, or I will kill you now!"

"If you kill me now, Miss Lin will never wake up." Li Xingtang staggered, stood up and stared at County Magistrate Lin.

"You!" County Magistrate Lin angrily drew out the guard's sword and was about to chop at Li Xingtang.

Seeing this, the housekeeper immediately stopped the man and said, "Grandpa, calm down and think about the young lady."

Seeing all this, Yu Wangfei felt that she could use the conflict between them to buy more time for Chu Yuheng and Yunhua.

So she asked, "Master Lin, why don't you tell me what happened? If you tell me, maybe I can pry open his mouth and find out the composition of the poison, so that I can develop the antidote as soon as possible."

Li Xingtang showed no expression on this. No matter who asked him, he would not reveal the source of the poison.

Magistrate Lin threw his sword to the ground angrily and sighed helplessly.

Now that things have come to this, he has to say it.

"It's all my fault..."

Three years ago, when County Magistrate Lin first arrived in Jiangnan City to take up his post, Miss Lin met Li Xingtang at that time. They hit it off at first sight and fell in love at second sight.

The excitement of youth made the two of them want to stick together all the time, but after all, there was a difference in their status. Li Xingtang decided to come to the Lin Mansion to propose marriage openly after he passed the imperial examination.

However, things did not go as planned. Li Xingtang failed the imperial examination. County Magistrate Lin naturally would not marry his daughter to a good-for-nothing scholar, so he cut off all contact between the two.

But their love would not be defeated, so Miss Lin and Li Xingtang planned to elope.

Not long ago, they eloped, and Miss Lin was taken to the mountain village by Li Xingtang. The two planned to live there, but how could their whereabouts be hidden from the eyes of County Magistrate Lin.

So County Magistrate Lin led his troops to surround the stronghold and threatened Wan Pingshen to hand over Miss Lin.

Miss Lin was worried that the fight between the two sides would hurt the brothers in the mountain stronghold, so she took the initiative to step out and followed County Magistrate Lin back to the Lin Mansion.

He fell into a coma the next day after returning home and never woke up.

After listening to the story of Miss Lin and Li Xingtang, Yu Wangfei looked at Li Xingtang with some heartache. She didn't know what to say, and she was even more unwilling to persuade him to let go.

Because love is priceless, as long as two people love each other and choose each other firmly, all difficulties will be solved.

There are very few people in this world who love each other, so the love story of Li Xingtang and Miss Lin is so touching.

"It was he who poisoned my daughter!" County Magistrate Lin cursed.

"Yes, it was me. I admit it." Li Xingtang said with a smile, "Instead of forcing her to marry those dignitaries every day, it's better to let her have a good sleep. When she wakes up, I can take her out."

Their original plan was that Miss Lin would take poison and County Magistrate Lin would look for a doctor throughout the process. At this time, Li Xingtang persuaded the second in command to come to the Lin Mansion to treat her.

Then he asked the second in command to say that only the temple outside the city could relieve Miss Lin's symptoms, so that County Magistrate Lin would send her to the temple outside the city, and he would take the opportunity to take Miss Lin away from the temple.

They thought about it and decided that this time they would elope to Xizhou, a city where County Magistrate Lin could not interfere.

If Yu Wangfei hadn't suddenly appeared, his plan would have been accomplished long ago. It's all Yu Wangfei's fault for meddling in other people's business!

"My elder brother saved you, but you are such a person." Li Xingtang looked at Yu Wangfei mockingly, "There is no antidote for the poison I gave her. You can't wake her up."

Li Xingtang suddenly turned his gaze to the door and said deliberately, "I think there is no one in the room."

From the first moment he saw Chu Yuheng and Yu Wangfei, he felt that they were not simple, but Wan Pingshen believed in them and they did not harm the village, so he did not interfere. Instead, he helped Yu Wangfei.

But now, Yu Wangfei had disrupted his plans, and it was impossible for him to let them get their wish.
