Chapter 294 Found Something

Lin Huaizhi was taken aback for a moment, but when he faced Guo Liangcai, he was not so flustered. "Sir, I don't know what I have done wrong?"

He prostrated himself on the ground in a gesture of respect, and when he straightened up, his expression remained calm.

Guo Liangcai narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with that?"

"Guards, bring him here!"

His eyes suddenly turned sharp, and his voice suddenly rose, startling Lin Huaizhi.

Footsteps came from outside the lobby. Lin Huaizhi turned around and saw that the person got a little closer, and his heart sank a little more.

Why would the pharmacy owner come here?

A flicker of panic crossed his eyes, and his hands clenched into fists beneath his sleeves.

Oh well, he'll just stick to the fact that he doesn't know me in a minute, what can I do about it?

He refused to believe that Guo Liangcai could be forced to confess under torture!

Lin Huaizhi took a deep breath and knelt there quietly, thinking about how to escape today.

The pharmacy owner had never been to the government office before. When he saw Guo Liangcai, who looked extremely dignified under the bright mirror, he was so frightened that he knelt down with a thud.

"My lord! I haven't done anything!"

"I don't know anything!"

After the pharmacy owner finished speaking, his head banged loudly on the ground.

He was getting medicine at the shop when suddenly a few people came and told him to go to the government office. Could it be that someone had died?

He thought about it all the way but couldn't figure it out, and was thus brought in trembling fear.

Wen Luozhi heard the sound of his head hitting the ground and felt a headache coming on.

Guo Liangcai cleared his throat and said, "From now on, answer whatever questions I ask you."

"If even half a word is false..."

He snorted coldly, leaving everything unsaid.

The pharmacy owner nodded repeatedly, his back already soaked with sweat despite the cool weather.

"Do you recognize this person?" Guo Liangcai pointed to Lin Huaizhi next to him.

Lin Huaizhi trembled slightly and lowered his head a little.

Guo Liangcai's eyes sharpened, and he gave a signal. Zou Ersheng stepped forward and forcefully turned Lin Huaizhi's head to the side.

The pharmacy owner moved closer, and upon seeing Lin Huaizhi's face clearly, he suddenly became excited: "I recognize him! I recognize him!"

"This young man came to my shop to buy something this afternoon!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Lin Huaizhi interrupted the pharmacy owner, who was about to say something.

"I arrived at the academy this afternoon and started classes. I don't remember ever being at your shop."

He looked indignant, as if he were feeling wronged because the shopkeeper was making false accusations.

Lin Huaizhi shouted loudly, and the pharmacy owner, also losing his temper, recounted everything that had happened in the shop that afternoon.

"It's you! I remember you very clearly!"

"You said your sow is pregnant but you don't want the piglets, and you want abortion pills for the sow!"

"Back then, you even asked me to get you the most expensive one!" The shopkeeper was also furious.

He was deeply impressed by Lin Huaizhi. At the time, he thought to himself, "Nowadays, which sow would abandon its piglets?"

The cub is worth a lot of money! I'd be overjoyed, why would any fool not want it?

He also lamented that the sow was unlucky to be with such a miserable family.

After hearing what the pharmacy owner said, Guo Wencai's face turned a deep shade of liver.

Abortion pills given to sows?

Is Lin Huaizhi indirectly saying that Wang Amiao, that shrew, is a sow?

What is he then?! It's just a joke about him marrying a sow and then living with her...

The more he imagined it, the angrier he became. Pointing at Lin Huaizhi, he angrily shouted at Guo Liangcai, "Father! Lock this damned man in jail!"

Guo Liangcai nearly lost his footing; this was a courtroom!

With so many eyes watching and so many ears listening, how could his only son dare to call him "father"?

The advisor quickly stepped down from the platform and whispered a few words in Guo Wencai's ear. After listening, Guo Wencai snorted coldly at Lin Huaizhi.

The bailiff brought him a chair, and he sat down to watch the crowd as instructed by his advisor.

"I don't know you! I have no grudge against you, why are you harming me like this!"

Lin Huaizhi, his eyes red, vehemently denied it. Guo Liangcai frowned and asked, "Zhao Cheng, did anyone else see it in your shop?"

"The medicine you sold poisoned my daughter-in-law!"

Zhao Cheng collapsed to the ground in despair. All the apprentices and shop assistants in the shop had gone home today, leaving him all alone.

Who can vouch for him?

That's the county magistrate's daughter-in-law! Wouldn't I be dead by now?!

Seeing his smug expression, Lin Huaizhi straightened up, his voice tinged with pleasure, "My lord, if there's nothing else for me, I shall take my leave."

"The lesson isn't over yet."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Wen Luozhi, his smugness practically overflowing from his eyes.

Wen Luozhi's attention had been on him the whole time. She noticed that the little yellow-faced man had been clutching his sleeve ever since Lin Huaizhi knelt down.

She raised an eyebrow, knelt down, and said to Guo Liangcai, "My lord, this body hasn't been searched yet."

"That thing might still be on the person."

She gave Lin Huaizhi a meaningful look, and Lin Huaizhi immediately sensed something was wrong.

Finished!

After administering the medicine, he hurriedly crumpled up the paper and stuffed it into his sleeve, and didn't even change his clothes when he got back.

In this way, he forgot that the paper ball was still in his sleeve!

He only realized it when he came in, and didn't even dare to take his hands out of his sleeves.

Before Lin Huaizhi could even move his hand, Zou Ersheng and his men had already pinned him down.

"Search thoroughly for me!"

Guo Liangcai stood up and stared straight at Lin Huaizhi below the hall. He didn't believe that Lin Huaizhi could do anything underhanded.

"My lord! How could you do this?!" Lin Huaizhi looked ashamed and indignant, twisting his body to prevent anyone from getting close.

Guo Liangcai sneered, "I am interrogating a suspect, not inviting ancestors!"

Zou Ersheng quickly searched Lin Huaizhi's body and finally found a yellowed paper ball in the sleeve of his inner garment.

"This is it!" Zhao Cheng exclaimed excitedly. "The herb feed for that sow was stored in this!"

Lin Huaizhi retorted, "You think it is just because you say so?! This is clearly scrap paper I tore off while writing an article!"

The advisor unfolded the paper ball and smelled it; there was a faint medicinal smell, but it was not very clear.

He presented the item and whispered, "Sir, we need to have a doctor examine this."

"Go and invite Doctor Jun over."

Because of Guo Wencai's affair, Guo Liangcai had great faith in Jun Qianzi's medical skills.

The first doctor that came to mind at that moment was him.

As soon as Zou Ersheng stepped out, Jun Qianzi came to greet him.

"Doctor Jun, I was just about to go and invite you."

Jun Qianzi nodded slightly and followed him inside; he had been waiting outside the whole time.

Before leaving, Helian Yue told him many times that he would be letting down his good brother if anything happened to Wen Luozhi.

When he arrived at the courtroom, he only slightly smelled the crumpled piece of paper and, based solely on the faint medicinal scent, was able to identify the name, ingredients, and effects of the medicine.

"Lin Huaizhi, what else do you have to say!"

Guo Liangcai slammed his hand on the wooden board and shouted, "Arrest him and lock him in jail!"

He didn't say how he would be punished afterward, since Wang Amiao hadn't been punished at all.

How to punish him depends on his son and daughter-in-law's wishes; in any case, Lin Huaizhi has no good intentions.

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!" Lin Huaizhi, who was being held down, suddenly burst into laughter.

"That's enough! Trading it for one child's life is enough!"

With bloodshot eyes, he glared at Guo Wencai, who was drinking tea nearby, and roared hysterically, "You've ruined my life!"

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have contracted that venereal disease, and I wouldn't have run out of money when I went to take the imperial examination!"

"I was destined to be a scholar! I was destined to be the top scholar in the imperial examination! You've ruined it all!"

"So what if I take your wife and children's lives? That's what you owe me!"
