When food safety inspector Su Yanqiu opened her eyes, she became the concubine of a criminal on the road to exile.
There is no space, no spiritual spring, only half a piece of hard cake and a criminal record that will never return to Beijing.
The exiled team had been hungry for three days and finally waited for a pot of porridge.
Everyone was stuffing stuff into their mouths desperately, except for the mute man in the corner who wrote two words on the ground with his blood-stained fingers:
Don't eat it.
The next moment, the child who drank the porridge was foaming at the mouth.
Su Yanqiu saved dozens of lives, but an official found poisonous weeds in his baggage and became a poisoning suspect.
At a critical moment, the mute man found evidence from the corpse's fingernails to clear her suspicion.
Later she found out that his name was Xie Tingzhou.
He was once the youngest coroner in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Because of his investigation into the disaster relief food case, his voice was disfigured and he was framed as a criminal and assassinated in the border city.
She can identify poison in food.
He could hear the injustice left behind by the corpse.
In order to survive, the two opened a small restaurant in the border town.
Someone else's sign says Bazhen Jade Food.
Their wooden sign only says:
Food can be eaten, and grievances can also be redressed.
From poisonous porridge, fake wine, diseased meat, to military rations, disaster relief rations, and palace banquets, seemingly ordinary poisoning cases all point to the disaster that starved hundreds of thousands of people to death many years ago.
Su Yanqiu originally just wanted to earn enough ransom money and live a stable life.
But when she finally got her freedom, the mute widower who once wanted to die pushed the banknotes, old case files and a marriage certificate that he had saved for several years in front of her.
There is only one sentence on the paper:
You save the world, and I will protect you for the rest of your life.
