259- Pus.h.i.+ng Blame Onto Others (贼喊捉贼)


Although it was already night, the tea house still had plenty of people, and Father Jiang’s actions shocked everyone.


Since it was a tea house, naturally the surroundings would be quiet, and Jiang Wen Sheng as the owner of the tea house, was always calm and gentle in front of them, never raising his voice or acting out in anger.


Even when 3 people fell to the ground convulsing, Jiang Wen Sheng still had a shred of reason and was busy calling for an ambulance, but now? He was so furious and enraged because of a girl.


However after observing this girl, there was something odd about her.


Carrying a bag while wearing the simplest exercising clothing, having great looks but possessing a cold and frigid temperament. The moment she appeared, she gave the 3 patrons some type of weird liquid, but what was shocking was how much better the 3 twitching men were, and now even their color has almost returned.


The confused onlookers who heard her said something about Heartbreak gra.s.s became even more confused.


Jiang Wen Sheng was in a panic after hearing Jing Yun Zhao said that the cause was because of Heartbreak gra.s.s poisoning, if she were to be correct, then the fault would lie on him.


The herbal tea made from Verbena was discovered by him earlier in a foreign place. The villagers of that place told him that the tea was used to prevent intestinal heat, and after he drank it, he decided to import the tea back as the taste was good.


Thinking back, Heartbreak gra.s.s and Verbena 1 were similar in some aspects, adding on the fact that the large majority of tea drinkers here drink a few famous types, and the ones that drink this type of herbal tea made from Verbena were in the minority. Who knew that such a big accident would occur today?


While he was still in the foreign place, he asked the villagers for the method to brew Verbena into tea, and they warned him about Heartbreak gra.s.s. However, at the time he thought that they were 2 different plants and that he would still be able to differentiate between the 2 plants.


Today my mood was a little unstable, could it be that I made a mistake while I was distracted?


Jiang Wen Sheng thought about it then shook his head


The fault didn’t lie with him, it must’ve been Jing Yun Zhao that caused all of this. Why else would she be sneaking around at this time of the day?


Seeing Jiang Wen Sheng’s ferocious look, Jing Yun Zhao mercilessly said, “Trying to push the blame onto others? Your store has surveillance cameras right? You can take a look yourself! They were already in this condition when I arrived 10 minutes ago, how could I even poison them? Once again, this herbal tea was prepared by you, so there should still be some stock left in the kitchen right? Who’s in the right and who’s in the wrong can easily be identified just by thinking logically. Now you want to push the blame on me? Are you r.e.t.a.r.ded?”


You’re not an idiot, you’re more like a mad dog now, biting anything you can see.


Jiang Wen Sheng’s face was getting torn to shreds while suffering from Jing Yun Zhao’s barrage of insults, but while he was getting scolded, he remembered the leftover Heartbreak gra.s.s in the kitchen, causing his heart to skip a beat.


The realization caused his legs to feel like lead, unable to move a single inch.


A simple check at the kitchen and the evidence could easily be found, but how could he dispose of the evidence under so many watchful eyes!?


What do I do if the police come? Wouldn’t I be forced to close my shop?


Jiang Wen Sheng was dumbfounded yet burning with anxiety at the same time, but he did not leave since Jing Yun Zhao did save 3 people in his store.


“Little girl, this Heartbreak gra.s.s… what is it exactly?” The onlookers who saw the effects of the poison asked in shock.


Jing Yun Zhao didn’t conceal anything and told them, “The Heartbreak gra.s.s commonly known as Gelsemium is poisonous in every part, and the parts with the highest concentration of poison being the leaves and the roots, especially in newly sprouted shoots and leaves. Only a few leaves are needed to cause death, and the consumption of this poison would leave the victim powerless and delirious while vomiting and experiencing diarrhea, some may even experience heart attacks. However the scariest part of this poison is that throughout the whole process, the victims are still conscious…”
