Chapter 179
Try a Sip?
The cold sweat on Tan Ba Wang’s forehead was getting more and more obvious . He was sure that he did poison the tea earlier . Although he didn’t know why Zhang Chun was fine, but it didn’t guarantee that he would be okay after drinking it, right? He didn’t dare to bet his life on it!
While he was hesitating, the tray was brought up to him . There were six small white porcelain bottles on the tray, and no difference could be seen on the surface .
Mu Yunyao calmly looked at Tan Ba Wang . “Young Master Tan, do you want to choose first, or should I?”
Tan Ba Wang suddenly turned his head to look at Zhang Chun . “Wait . Before we check, I would like to ask doctor Zhang, why was your expression so serious when you were examining the seventh teacup?”
Zhang Chun could not help but turn pale as he asked in a cold voice, “What does it have to do with you?”
“Is there any poison in the tea? It’s related to human life . Naturally, I have to ask doctor Zhang to tell the truth . If you don’t want to tell me, then you must be guilty!”
The surrounding people were also so curious and looked at Zhang Chun upon hearing this .
Zhang Chun’s expression became stiffer and more rigid . Finally, he could not help but flick his sleeves . “I was too full and wanted to go to the toilet, so…”
The surroundings became silent for a moment, then bursting into laughter . No wonder doctor Zhang’s expression looked so solemn earlier . He actually wanted to go to the toilet but he had to hold it in!
Zhang Chun’s face turned red as he revealed the truth . He clasped his hands at County Magistrate Zhao, “This humble one will take his leave first . Please allow me, Lord Zhao . ”
County Magistrate Zhao didn’t expect this to be the reason . At this time, he couldn’t help but smile when he saw Zhang Chun’s awkward situation . “Doctor Zhang, leave quickly and return . ”
Zhang Chun nodded helplessly, raised his sleeves, covered his face, and quickly walked away .
Tan Ba Wang was dumbstruck . He did not expect this to be the reason . If Zhang Chun did not lie, then wouldn’t it mean that there was no poison in the tea? That was not right . It could also be that Mu Yunyao had secretly done something! What should he do? Was there any poison in the tea?
He felt like his head was about to explode .
Mu Yunyao slightly smiled, “Young Master Tan, have you decided? Will you choose first, or I’ll choose first?”
“You … You choose first!”
“Alright . ” Mu Yunyao directly picked up the first one and was about to send it to her mouth .
Tan Ba Wang suddenly said . “No, I think it’s better if I’ll choose first . I’ll drink the one in your hand!”
Mu Yunyao’s smile deepened as she happily passed the teacup in front of him . “Alright, then I’ll let Young Master Tan have this cup of tea . ” Seeing the smile on her face, Tan Ba Wang broke out in a cold sweat more and more . All sorts of thoughts were rolling about in his heart . Mu Yunyao was naturally cunning . Could it be that she had already guessed what he was thinking and chose the poisonous one as her first one? Her smile just became more and more brilliant . There must be some deeper meaning to it!

Seeing that Tan Ba Wang wasn’t willing to pick up the teacups, Mu Yunyao smiled, “Young Master Tan, the weather is so cold, why are you sweating so much? It just so happens that the tea is cold . Drink it to quell the anger in your heart!”
“You … What do you want to do?”
“Please drink the tea, aren’t you just here for the sake of drinking tea? Why do you not drink the tea now when I delivered it to you?” Mu Yunyao’s expression turned completely cold . “Or did you not dare to drink it because you poisoned the tea?”
“I, I didn’t!”
“Since there isn’t any, let’s drink?”
The crowd also understood what was going on, and they were sure that Tan Ba Wang must have done something to the tea, which was why he was so afraid . He didn’t even dare to touch the teacup .
"Tan Ba Wang . Miss Mu said that she didn’t poison the tea, so she dared to test the tea herself . Didn’t you say that you didn’t poison the tea, why don’t you dare?"
"Are you feeling guilty about being a thief now?"
“Lord Zhao, I believe you have understood after thinking about it . Tan Ba Wang is really evil . Please arrest him and punish him severely!”
“That’s right . The last time also Tan Ba Wang came to slander Miss Mu, but he still doesn’t know how to rein himself in . He is truly arrogant!”

County Magistrate Zhao walked in front of Tan Ba Wang and waved his hand, summoning two officials . “Men, detain Tan Ba Wang . ”
“No, let me go . I’m not guilty, why do you want to capture me?”
“Even now, you still refuse to admit your mistake . Since that’s the case, I’ll investigate and clear this matter up!” County Magistrate Zhao faced the two officials and ordered, “Open his mouth for me and pour him the six cups of tea!”
The two officials hastily carried out their orders . Tan Ba Wang was so scared to death, “No, you can’t do this! I am the Young Master of Cai Yue Pavilion, and our Cai Yue Pavilion will soon obtain the golden signboard bestowed upon us by the Emperor . If you dare to disrespect me like this, then I will definitely punish you severely in the future!”
County magistrate Zhao was livid . “Make him drink it!”
Seeing that the official was about to pour the tea into his mouth, Tan Ba Wang could no longer hold it in . “No, there’s poison in the tea . I can’t drink it . It will kill me if I drink it!”
Taking advantage of the time when he was in a daze, Mu Yunyao shouted, “Tan Ba Wang, what poison is in the tea?”
“He Ding Hong! The poison in the tea is He Ding Hong!”
“Where did you get it?”
“I bought it from the Ci Ning Hall in Huai’an City …”

The two officials threw Tan Ba Wang, who had peed his pants in fright, onto the ground . At this moment, he realized what he had just said and immediately lost all color on his face .
“Mu Yunyao … You bitch, you, you . I did put He Ding Hong in my tea, but why did my attendant not die after drinking it? Also, Zhang Chun had just checked on the tea . Why was he fine even after drinking it? There’s something wrong with this . There must be something wrong with this!” An official brought in the servant who had poisoned earlier . When he saw Tan Ba Wang’s appearance, he kowtowed to County Magistrate Zhao, “Lord, Tan Ba Wang is really devoid of conscience . After he bought He Ding Hong and forced me to drink it, he used it to frame Miss Mu . I am so afraid and am not willing to lose my life because of this . Then, I secretly switched out the poison . I threw He Ding Hong that he bought into the flower tree by the side of the yard, so the tea is actually no problem . I was indeed faking it just now . ”
Tan Ba Wang’s eyes were red . He wished that he could kill the attendant in front of him . “You… I’ll kill you! I will definitely kill you!”
Mu Yunyao ignored him and turned around to pay her respects to County Magistrate Zhao . “Lord Zhao, I presume you already know the truth of the matter . Tan Ba Wang framed me for ordering people to poison and murder people’s lives . If he succeeds, then I won’t be able to protect my life . ” Ming Yin also kneeled on the ground and kowtowed, “Lord Zhao, Tan Ba Wang intended to disrespect me, but failed to coax me, and almost ruined my innocence . Now, I don’t have the face to live in this world, and only death can make me have a good reputation . Lord Zhao must punish these bullies and make decisions for the people! . ”
After saying that, Ming Yin got up and crashed into a pillar on the side .
“Miss Ming Yin!” The tea guests who watched from the sideline cried out in alarm and tried to pull her away, but they didn’t expect her strength to be so great . Even though someone had grabbed her sleeve, she still hit the pillar, causing her to bleed from her forehead .
Zhang Chun, who had rushed back, quickly went forward to check, “Fortunately, someone pulled her just now, so she didn’t lose her life . She should be able to recuperate and recover after a few months . ”
Everyone was furious . If it weren’t for the presence of County Magistrate Zhao, they would have almost torn Tan Ba Wang personally!
“Lord Zhao, this is related to a person’s life!”
“Lord Zhao, please make the decision!” Everyone bowed towards County Magistrate Zhao and shouted, “Please make the decision, Lord Zhao!”
