Captain Liu took the shackles and brought two yamen runners over.

The moment he saw them, Qin Qian couldn't help but stand up.

"You are Qin Qian?"

"yes."

Captain Liu waved his hand and said, "Trouble!"

"What are you doing?" Qin Qian struggled, "Without evidence, you can't just put shackles on me!"

"Be honest!"

One of the yamen runners held him down, the other put the shackles on him and pulled them out.

"Director, I want to see the Dean!"

"If you don't want to suffer, just shut up! Let me tell you Qin Qian, let alone the dean, even if the king of heaven comes, I can't save you!"

"You can't slander people like this. I didn't do anything about poisoning me. I have no reason to poison the old man. You can't take me away like this!"

The students in the academy were driven back to their respective rooms. When they heard his voice, they poked their heads out. When they saw him pushing out with shackles by several yamen runners, they were immediately in an uproar.

"It's not really the poison he made, is it?"

"Who knows? We know people but not our hearts. Maybe we have all been deceived by him!"

"It is possible, after all, he is responsible for the old man's tea."

"What are you talking nonsense? You don't know what kind of person Qin Qian is. How could he poison the old man? It must be because the yamen runners couldn't find evidence, so they took Qin Qian to blame."

...

All kinds of discussions were heard, and Captain Liu pretended not to hear anything, and escorted Qin Qian out of the academy.

There were also many people gathered outside the academy, some of whom were concerned about the old man and some of the students who had not left yet, and some of them were the people who came to watch after hearing that the old man was poisoned.

Seeing Captain Liu escorting people out, they all asked loudly, "Official, is it just the poison he slaughtered on the old man?"

"The investigation has not been found yet, but he is the most suspicious. He will be taken back to the yamen for a good trial."

This is definitely the case. The onlookers were angry and accused Qin Qian.

The onlookers were unclear and blamed them, and some even threw them over with things.

People in the world respect scholars, especially great scholars like the old man, who are even more respected, but Qin Qian poisoned the old man! The more people onlookers think, the more angry they get, and more things they get.

Most of them hit Qin Qian. After a while, Qin Qian was so embarrassed that he couldn't watch it. Everyone still chased and smashed it.

In the crowd, the Weiyuan Escort Agency saw all this and hurriedly turned around and returned to the Escort Agency, telling Qi Wu and others.

Mrs. Qi couldn't believe it.

During these days, they repeatedly deduced the reactions of everyone after the poisoning, but they did not expect that Qin Qian would be taken away by the county government.

She looked at Qi Wu anxiously.

Qi Wu frowned deeply.

"I'll go and have a look."

Qi Run stood up and was about to walk out.

"stop!"

Qi Run turned around.

"They are just speculating now, and there is no conclusive evidence. Once someone comes forward and is seen, they will think of us. Everything we have done before is in vain. Let's bear it for now. After a few days, Qian'er will be released when someone comes to Beijing."

"If you wait for someone from Beijing to take five or six days, if you passively punish yourself, Qian'er..."

Mrs. Qi was very anxious.

"It's just the bitterness of flesh and blood, Qian'er can stand it. What we are doing now is not to expose our relationship with him, so as not to arouse others' suspicion."

...

Captain Liu escorted Qin Qian while observing the reactions of everyone on the roadside. He returned to the yamen and did not find any suspicious people. Thinking that Song Wanyue must have guessed wrongly, no one instructed Qin Qian behind him.

But Qin Qian is indeed the most suspicious. He asked the yamen runners to remove Qin Qian's shackles and persuaded them in a gentle tone, "Let's not talk about our punishments, just because the prison is dark and wet, and a young man like you can't stand it. Listen to my advice and honestly explain that as long as the old man is fine, you won't be able to get much sin."

Qin Qian had a lot of stones on his body, his face on his right was red and swollen, and there were rotten vegetable leaves on his hair. He reached out to take them off, with anger on his face, "I'll say it again, I didn't poison the old man. The tea was prepared by the dean and the wife of the dean. I just brought it up."

"I won't say it, right..." Captain Liu knocked half of his swollen face with a knife, "Okay, I think it's your stubborn mouth or our torture instruments. Come and take it to the torture room."

...

After Qin Qian was taken away, the county magistrate did not enter the house. He paced back and forth in the yard, waiting for Captain Liu to report the news to him. But he had not waited until noon. The county magistrate couldn't wait anymore, so he walked into the house and said to Song Wanyue, "Miss Song, I'll go back and take a look. If I find the source of the poison, please send someone to tell me as soon as possible."

Song Wanyue nodded.

The county magistrate hurried back to the yamen and called Captain Liu, "What's wrong?"

"This guy's mouth is too hard and can't ask anything. He insists that he has not poisoned him. We dare not take any serious measures. If he kills the person, he will not be able to find out the source of the poison."

"I tell you, no matter what method you use, you must find it out for me before dark, otherwise you won't have to do it, go home and eat dirt."

"Yes, Master."

Captain Liu hurried away again.

The county magistrate was anxiously walking back and forth in the hall.

"master……"

The master came over carefully.

"explain!"

"The old man was poisoned and was very serious. I felt that someone should send him a quick rush to send the news to the capital."

The county magistrate suddenly stopped to look at him.

The master said, "It seems that I can't find the poison source for a while, and the old man doesn't know if I can wake up. Let's take a step back, even if the poison source is found and the old man wakes up, it's impossible to hide this matter. Instead of letting the emperor know and blame him and take off your black hat, it's better to write a memorial to Beijing. First, it means that you attach importance to this matter, and second, the emperor will definitely send the imperial physician here, and those people are always better than Doctor Yao."

The county magistrate turned around and walked to the back hall, "Come with me."

When he arrived at the back hall, the master grinded the grinding. The county magistrate quickly wrote the memorial and called someone to come over and asked him to send it to the post station. "Tell them that it will be urgent to 800 miles and quickly sent it to the capital."

The yamen runs out with a note. After walking around the house for a few times, the county magistrate lifts his foot out, "Let's go to the college again to see what's discovered there. Today, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find out the source of poison."

The yamen runners searched the college, inside and out, and even every corner, but found no clues.

The dean was so anxious that he was about to faint.

The county magistrate once again felt that his black hat could not be kept, so he asked Dr. Yao, "How many days can your silver needle sealing hole last?"

"It's hard to say, the old man is old, I..."

"You must hold on for a few more days. I have already written a memorial and sent someone to the capital to whip it. When the emperor saw it, he would definitely send the imperial doctor to come."

Doctor Yao quickly exchanged a wink with Gu Yi, "Don't worry, sir, I promise to let the old man hold on until the imperial doctor comes."
