Cannon fodder Gong Just Wants To Take The Imperial Examination [MTL]

Chapter 47

 The other party was already very guilty of doing bad things, but when Shen Chenyu caught him, he was shocked. He forced himself to look at Shen Chenyu calmly, then looked at Shen Chenyu respectfully and said, "Guest officer, what are you doing?"

Shen Chenyu didn't say a word, but looked at it thoughtfully Look at the food on the table. He wasn't sure if there were ingredients in the meal this time, but based on the other party's reaction when he came back this morning, he could be sure that there must be something wrong with the things he brought into the examination room. Otherwise, when he saw him come back safe and sound, the Xiao Er wouldn't have been so surprised, as if he had encountered a ghost in broad daylight.

Shen Chenyu took out a dagger without saying a word, and then put the dagger on the opponent's neck, and Xiao Er was so frightened that his eyes straightened.

Without waiting for Xiao Er to realize what was going on, Shen Chenyu stuffed all the steamed buns and water in today's test basket into the opponent's mouth one after the other.

All of this happened so suddenly, Xiao Er was forced to swallow the steamed buns, and then opened his mouth with a pale face and shouted: "Killed, someone killed."

Shen Chenyu didn't stop him when she saw this, and waited deliberately He called everyone outside, and then slowly put away the dagger.

When everyone heard the movement and rushed over, they saw Shen Chenyu sitting at the side calmly and calmly, and the little girl who was calling for help was clasping her throat desperately.

Xiao Er was completely frightened and stupid at the moment. While holding his throat with one hand, he pointed at Shen Chenyu with the other, with a look on his face that he had been mercilessly abused by Shen Chenyu.

Shen Chenyu's elder brother, Chen Youli, looked at Shen Chenyu with a puzzled expression and said, "What happened?"

He looked at Shen Chenyu who was intact, and then at the second child who was also intact, I have no idea what's going on now.

As soon as Xiaoer heard the other party's words, he stopped holding his throat, and immediately pointed at Shen Chenyu and said sharply: "I just brought food to the other party, I didn't expect... I didn't expect the other party to suddenly take out a dagger, Then he forced me to eat the steamed buns in his test basket."

The people who were already in a daze were even more dazed after hearing Xiao Er's words. They looked at Shen Chenyu who was empty-handed, and then looked at Xiaoer who was full of anger.

Before everyone could ask the question in their hearts, the innkeeper who heard the news also came over. The shopkeeper looked at the messy group of people crowded here, and his chubby face completely lost the usual kindness.

He first glanced at Xiao Er who was lying on the ground, then turned his head and bowed slightly towards Shen Chenyu. "Young master, if you have any dissatisfaction, you may as well just say it, why bother a little girl who doesn't understand the rules?"

Shen Chenyu was a little displeased when he heard this, because he felt that he was looking for trouble unilaterally. But looking at the other party's calm face, it is estimated that he doesn't know what Xiaoer is doing.

The reason why Shen Chenyu thinks this way is because the inn they settled in is very famous, and I heard that there is an unknown big shot behind it. It is precisely because of the support of such a big person that their inn not only has a good reputation, but also has a better business than other inns.

When they came to Qingcheng County, they came because of the good reputation of this inn. After all, at such a critical moment as the county examination, the rest assured students who live well will have no worries.

Although the Shen family in Qingcheng County has some status in Qingcheng County, such a well-known big inn will not foolishly use the reputation of its own inn to do bad things for the sake of the little favors given by the Shen family.

So it is very possible that this little boy secretly took advantage of others, and as the shopkeeper of the inn, he didn't know anything about it. But regardless of whether the innkeeper knew about it or not, Shen Chenyu had certification and physical evidence for this matter, and if it really made a big fuss, it would be bad luck for the inn.

Shen Chenyu pointed to the test basket on the side, looked at everyone innocently and said: "When I was in the test room today, I ate steamed buns and water from the inn, and then I suddenly had a stomachache in the test room. Fortunately, I I just took a small sip, otherwise I don't know if something will happen. After all, I paid such an expensive price to live here, and somehow I ate something from the inn and I got a stomachache. I have to figure out whether it is my own problem or the inn So I wanted the second brother to eat the steamed buns in the test basket, but I didn't expect the second brother's reaction to be so fierce, and he kept squinting his throat while shouting "Killer."

Just now the second brother buttoned his throat The group of people who came in could see clearly, and there were crumbs of steamed buns spit out by Xiao Er on the ground, all of which proved what Shen Chenyu said was true.

Like Shen Chenyu, they are all candidates. Candidates are very particular about eating and drinking, and they are worried that a bad stomach will affect the exam.

At this moment, when Shen Chenyu heard that he had eaten the food and water in the inn and had a stomach ache, regardless of whether Shen Chenyu was telling the truth or not, the group of people couldn't help feeling flustered.

Some candidates who were already in poor health couldn't help but think of themselves, and couldn't help questioning them sternly.

"That's right, we paid a lot of money to live here because your inn has a good reputation. Now some people feel uncomfortable after eating the food in the inn, and they just want your little one to try it. This Why did Xiao Er react so violently? Could it be... that your inn poisoned the food?"

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings immediately boiled. A few candidates who were unwell due to the cold suddenly felt even more uncomfortable. In addition, some candidates did not perform well in the exam, so they couldn't help but wonder if they had eaten something unclean, which made them feel dizzy and unable to answer during the exam.

"That's right, I saw very clearly just now that the other party has been slamming his throat, and he himself said... This young man eats steamed buns better than him.

" This Xiao Er's reaction is so big?"

"It's probably because he knew there was something wrong with the steamed buns, that's why he was so scared."

"Brother Wang is right, he definitely knows what's going on inside, otherwise he didn't react like that just now. When people are extremely panicked, they make Your reaction is the most authentic."

Xiao

Er couldn't help but turn paler and paler when she heard the words around her. He sneaked a glance at his shopkeeper, and saw that the shopkeeper's face was getting more and more serious. He quickly pointed to Shen Chenyu and said, "Shopkeeper, this person is here to mess things up. You can't trust the other party's words." The

shopkeeper is obviously a Clever, he already guessed roughly what happened. However, even if he really guessed the truth, in order to preserve the reputation of the inn, he cannot admit it.

Just when the shopkeeper was sweating coldly, thinking about how to confuse the matter, Shen Chenyu said unhurriedly: "Shopkeeper, I know what you are thinking in your heart, it is nothing more than wanting to protect the inn. Fame, I plan to try to coerce and lure me to shut up. But paper can't contain fire, even if you try to make me change my tone today, but there are so many scholars present today, you can't make everyone Keep your mouth shut."

Shen Chenyu paused here, raised her foot and stepped on the hem of Xiaoer who wanted to run away, then continued to look at the shopkeeper's opening and said: "Instead of thinking about how to make me shut up, it is better to fundamentally Solved the problem."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper gritted his teeth, and immediately listened attentively. "Young master, please give me some pointers."

Shen Chenyu pointed to Xiao Er who was kneeling on the ground, "You let him confess the mastermind behind the scenes, and then deal with the other party in public, and promise that such a thing will not happen again. It depends on you Since the inn has the courage to admit its mistakes and is willing to seek justice for the students, it may be possible to restore the reputation of the inn."

"At the same time, what happened in the inn was originally caused by the negligence of your inn. This is already a big hidden danger. Fortunately, I didn't make any mistakes this time. What if...someone poisons the inn in the future? Well, if a farmer like me dies, your inn may be able to secretly bury the truth. But if the identity of the person who caused the accident has a lot of background, then it will not be a matter of the inn's reputation, maybe the entire inn Everyone will have their heads fall to the ground." The

innkeeper was obviously frightened by Shen Chenyu's words, and the students around him were easily aroused, and they all clamored to send Xiao Er to the government, so the innkeeper had to agree to Shen Chenyu's words. Yu explained.

But before the shopkeeper went to interrogate Xiao Er, Xiao Er screamed because of the stomachache. "Shopkeeper, help me, I know I'm wrong, please help me find a doctor..."

Shen Chenyu thought before that there was at most laxative in those steamed buns and water. Seeing the other party like this now, my heart suddenly became colder and colder.

Well, all his previous words were in vain. When it comes to murder, even if the innkeeper wants to hide it, he can't hide it.

The innkeeper was also very frightened when he saw this, he just hesitated for a moment, and asked someone to notify the government directly. In this case, things are beyond his ability. This Shen Chenyu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, even if he wants to do something, it is more difficult.

People from the government came very quickly, and at the same time they brought what they thought was an old doctor and a pharmacist from the government. After confirmation by the old doctor and the pharmacist, a relatively small amount of a highly poisonous arsenic similar to arsenic was found in the steamed buns in Shen Chenyu's basket and the meals on the table.

Although it is highly poisonous, it does not have a fatal effect because it is relatively rare. So even if you take it, you won't die, at most you will feel dizzy and have a stomachache.

But even if no one can die, but due to the heavy punishment in this dynasty, it is very sensitive to poison. Even if Xiaoer confessed to the mastermind behind the scenes, he would still be imprisoned for ten years.

Probably because the other party gave a lot of benefits, or the mastermind behind the scenes controlled his family, but the little girl couldn't confess him in the end.

Shen Chenyu was not disappointed when she saw this. After all, the Shen family in Qingcheng County still has some skills, and he never thought that he could easily bring them down.

Because of this incident, the students in the entire inn were panicked, but they couldn't find another place to live. In order to appease these increasingly irritable students, the government sent three yamen servants to the inn the next day.

Two of the yamen servants are responsible for guarding the back kitchen, and the other yamen servant is guarding the lobby of the inn. If students encounter any problems, they can ask the yamen servants here to help. With the arrival of the three yamen servants, the mood of the group of students stabilized, and the inn was no longer as tense as before.

Although Xiaoer was the one who did the bad thing, it can be said that the inn was implicated. But Xiao Er dared to do such a bad thing, which was also caused by improper management of the inn.

When the results of the first exam were released, the original shopkeeper of the inn was transferred away, and a young man came over to manage it. At the same time, in order to express its apology to Shen Chenyu, the inn not only waived all the accommodation fees for Shen Chenyu, but also gave two hundred taels of silver as compensation.

Shen Chenyu was merciless in taking money, if he hadn't been more vigilant and found something was wrong, he would probably be lying in the hospital by now.

Although the inn waived his accommodation and food expenses, Shen Chenyu didn't dare to eat here after that. It wasn't that he was worried that people in the inn would dare to do harm to him, but that because of his incident, the reputation of the inn had plummeted, and it was inevitable that some people in the inn would spit or something when they were angry.

So in the following days, Shen Chenyu will either go out to eat outside, or eat the food in the space, anyway, she will not eat the food in the inn.

When the list was released today, Chen Youli came to him early in the morning and wanted to go with him to the county government office to read the list. Shen Chenyu tidied up a bit, then left the inn with several senior brothers.

In Shen Chenyu's view, they have come very early, but there are still many people who are earlier than them. Looking at the crowded crowd in front of the red list, Shen Chenyu didn't want to follow them to squeeze forward.

It's a pity that before he could speak, Chen Youli held his hand and walked forward. Since many people came from behind, Shen Chenyu was brought in without being crowded.
