Gu Changsheng looked at Gu Changde, and Gu Changde raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down.
"Mr. Village Chief, I think you are bent on abuse of power and breaking the law. We can't let this happen to you any longer. All the villagers who were harmed today, let's fight together!"
Under the instigation of the big man, someone really came forward and tried to tie up Xia Qianqian.
Although Gu Changde is the head of the town, he cannot stop the people's grievances, let alone fight with the villagers.
Gu Changsheng's face was extremely ugly. He took a step forward and was about to show his power, but Gu Changde held him back: "Don't be impulsive. This is very strange. Maybe it's aimed at you."
"In that case, I can't let her take the blame." Gu Changsheng sneered, shook off Gu Changde and stood out, "The oil and the pot have been stored in my restaurant. If there is a problem with the oil pot, you can send me to the authorities!"
Everyone was stunned and took a few steps back - how dare they kidnap Gu Changsheng
"What? You don't want to tie me up?" Gu Changsheng sneered, "The emperor's methods are the same as those of the common people. Didn't you say there was something wrong with the oil pan? Then take me to the county government office!"
The man who led the commotion didn't expect Gu Changsheng to protect Xia Qianqian in this way. He said, "Third Young Master Gu, although the oil pan is stored in your restaurant, it is used by Xia Qianqian. Besides, we all believe that you would not poison it."
"But I also believe that Xia Qianqian would not poison." Gu Changsheng looked coldly at the man who was making a fuss. His intuition told him: There is something wrong with this person!
Xia Qianqian was about to cry. She never expected that Gu Changsheng would take the blame for her. Poisoning is murder, which is a serious crime. If someone really died, he must pay with his life!
At this time, Doctors Li and Tong had already received the results of their examination: "There is indeed something wrong with the oil, but it is not poisonous. It is just that someone added croton powder, and those who consume it will have abdominal pain and diarrhea."
Xia Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was croton. If it was really poisonous, today would be troublesome.
"Croton is a laxative. Let's check which clinic has sold croton recently," said Doctor Li.
Doctor Tong immediately stated: "My clinic doesn't have it."
"Qingtong, go ask other families." Gu Changsheng ordered.
"yes."
Xia Qianqian smiled bitterly: "My family is poor, so I set up a stall in town to sell meatballs to support my family. The Third Young Master was kind and allowed me to sell meatballs outside his restaurant, but I didn't expect something like this to happen, which implicated the Third Young Master."
Gu Changsheng said: "Xia Qianqian has kept the oil pan in my restaurant since the day she started selling meatballs. I've seen this man coming after me because he's jealous of my restaurant's good business. He doesn't dare to attack me openly and is using Xia Qianqian as a pawn."
After a pause, Gu Changsheng cast a sharp gaze on the man who was causing trouble: "No matter who framed me, I will not let him go!"
Fear flashed in the man's eyes. He lowered his eyes and insisted, "Master Gu San, we don't understand the grudges of you rich people. But you can't let us ordinary people be buried with you."
"Yeah, if you want to do something bad, just target me. Why involve others?" Gu Changsheng sneered, "Since it's croton, the villagers don't have to be afraid. No one will die. Wait for me to find the person who drugged you and make him pay compensation to everyone!"
"This matter will definitely be investigated thoroughly." Gu Changde also said.
The Gu family had a good family tradition and a good reputation in the town, so most of the villagers agreed. The few who disagreed could not do anything about Gu Changsheng, so they could only wait.
Qing Tong quickly asked all the medicine shops in the town, but no one sold croton. So where did this medicine come from
