Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots

Chapter 1417: 236, Lao Fan? (33)

“Isn’t Magistrate Pingxi supposed to love her people as if they were her children? How could she put something like Five Stones Powder in the meal to harm people? Sigh, really, rumors can’t be trusted!”

Several people were taking turns talking, slandering Dong Tian and Lin Yuan while elevating Drunken Immortal Tower in the process, achieving their goal.

Lin Yuan let out a cold laugh, turned to Sir Jingzhao and said, “Sir, they say to catch a thief you must catch them with the evidence. Since something not supposed to be there was found in the meal of Dong Tian, my duty as the Boss naturally grants me the right to thoroughly investigate.”

Sir Jingzhao nodded in agreement, showing his approval.

Giving the fat-faced man a meaningful look, Lin Yuan continued, “Just now, these few people first disparaged our Dong Tian’s meal for having flies, and now they say it contains Five Stones Powder. Sir, since we don’t have such substances in Dong Tian, I suspect that the Five Stones Powder, like the earlier flies, was stealthily added by someone with an agenda.”

As for who that person was, there was no need for Lin Yuan to spell it out. Everyone present understood; if someone was able to sneak flies into the food, what more a substance like Five Stones Powder?

Lin Yuan’s remark immediately made her cohorts uneasy, and they started raising a commotion.

“Magistrate Pingxi, isn’t this all just baseless harassment? Who on earth would poison themselves with Five Stones Powder?”
