"That's right! This Xiaoyan must have become greedy after seeing the jewelry made by my uncle. She teamed up with the doctor named Fang to kill my uncle. My uncle died unjustly! Please make the decision for me. Ah!" Lu Jiu shouted.
Xiaoyan was so angry that she was shaking all over, "That's nonsense, I've never seen any jewelry before!"
Lu Jiu: "If you weren't coveting jewelry, why would you, a young girl, go to that ghost place in Beiyuefang every now and then? To the home of a bad old man? What are you trying to do?!"
Xiaoyan was furious: "Beiyuefang is not a ghost place. The grandparents in the place are good people! Grandpa Shi is not a bad old man. Grandpa Shi is a very good craftsman!"
"Ha! You really know that Lu Shi is a jewelry craftsman. This confirms your crime!"
"If nonsense can be counted as evidence, then I can also say that you were motivated by wealth and went to rob Grandpa Shi's things, but Grandpa Shi refused to give them to you, so you killed Grandpa Shi!"
The two people in the hall started arguing. Lu Jiu's voice was louder than the other, and he was spitting wildly. Although Xiaoyan was young, her momentum was not weak at all, and she answered every sentence with confidence.
"Hey, this little girl is pretty good." Jin Ruo praised.
Etta: "See 471."
Jin Ruo: "Huh?"
Mu Xia: "Ita said you got interested in sex."
"..."
The magistrate banged the gavel and tried his best to maintain order in the hall, but his authority was insufficient and no one paid attention to him, especially the people who were watching, all of them transformed into Sherlock Holmes and expressed their opinions.
"I think what Lu Jiu said is reasonable. If there is no benefit, we can't afford to leave early. That little girl must be from Tulu."
"Pull him down. Who in the city doesn't know that Lu Jiu is a rogue? What he says is worse than farts!"
"You don't care when you are alive, but you jump out when you are dead. If there is really something valuable, Lu Jiu would have gone to wait for Lu Shi to eat, drink, and sleep. How can he take advantage of outsiders?"
"Xiaoyan is a clerk at Zhenbaoxuan in Sanhefang, and Zhenbaoxuan is Hua's property! In my opinion, Lu Jiu just wants to blame Xiaoyan, and then use Xiaoyan to blackmail Zhenbaoxuan!"
"Hey, bro, what you said makes sense!"
Shopkeeper Li whispered, "We have done a thorough investigation before recruiting workers. Xiaoyan has a clean family background and is an upright person. She would never do such a thing. I trust Xiaoyan!"
Shopkeeper Zhang: "Silang, you have to help Xiaoyan. If this matter gets serious, it will damage the reputation of Zhenbaoxuan and Hua's family!"
Hua Yitang waved his small fan and glanced at Lin Sui'an, who made a "please" gesture.
The county magistrate couldn't suppress the noise in the hall and was so angry that he jumped up and slapped the gavel, "Shut up and be quiet! Be quiet! Anyone who makes any more noise will be beaten - out -"
"During the trial in the government office, all the people can watch the hall to correct the situation, preach and teach, and enforce the five virtues. This is the law of the Tang Dynasty. The county magistrate may not have the right to drive the people out." Hua Yitang stepped across. At the threshold of the lobby, the fan unfolded with a snap, and the layers of snow-white clothes flew up, like bright petals blooming under the spring light. It was extremely magical, and the entire lobby became silent.
Lin Sui'an was quite pleased: Hua Yitang's appearance is still very good.
The county magistrate was furious: "Who are you? How dare you roar... the public..."
The magistrate's anger became weaker and weaker. He saw shopkeepers Li and Zhang standing behind Hua Yitang. The two shopkeepers were gesticulating wildly. One held his face and pretended to be a flower, and the other raised four fingers. The county magistrate Finally he wasn't too stupid, he understood, and the Sichuan Opera changed its face and put on a smile, "It turns out that Shiro from the Hua family is here, come and take a seat!"
As soon as Hua Yitang's name came out, the people watching the excitement suddenly became excited, and their eyes snapped at Hua Yitang. Hua Yitang went crazy alone, and the more attention he received, the more arrogant he became. At this time, he wished he had a blower to help him. After posing, I saw him closing his fan with a "snap", shaking his robe sleeves, and saying, "There's no need to sit down. It's just that Hua, who had been listening outside the hall for a long time, had doubts and asked Magistrate Xu Clear up the confusion.”
Magistrate Xu: "Excuse me, Silang Huajia."
Hua Yitang walked up to Lu Jiu: "This person said that Xiaoyan conspired with Dr. Fang to seek wealth and life, and poisoned Lu Shi. Apart from verbal speculation, is there any evidence?"
Lu Jiu: "Of course there is! When my uncle died, his body was so swollen that his skin turned green and all his blood vessels burst. This was obviously poisoning!"
Hua Yitang: "But I heard that Lu Shi's body was examined by a specialist and the cause of death was not poisoning."
"The person who did the autopsy was not a coward!" Lu Jiu pointed at Xiaoyan and said, "If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten that the doctor who came to do the autopsy was also hired by Xiaoyan, and he must be an accomplice to them!"
Hua Yitang raised his eyebrows: "Magistrate Xu, why not ask the autopsy examiner to ask."
Magistrate Xu hurriedly called the bad guy next to him to ask, "Isn't it the autopsy done by Lao Li?"
The bad guy said with a grimace, "Lao Li drank too much again that day."
"..."
"Fortunately, Dr. Ji was nearby and helped."
Magistrate Xu breathed a sigh of relief and took a picture of the prisoner, "Please quickly ask Dr. Ji Gaoyang to come over and ask questions."
A bad guy took the order and ran out.
Hua Yitang strolled up to Fang Ke, "Lu Jiu said that Doctor Fang and Xiaoyan conspired to murder Lu Shi. What evidence is there?"
Fang Ke didn't even raise his eyelids, obviously too lazy to pay attention to Hua Yitang.
Lu Jiu: "The neighbors in Beiyuefang said that more than ten days ago, this man surnamed Fang suddenly went to see a doctor for my uncle, and he was beaten out by my uncle. When he left, his expression was very scary, and he must be holding a grudge. Conspire with Xiaoyan again!"
Hua Yitang: "Magistrate Xu, is this possible?"
Magistrate Xu: "It is indeed true! The bad guys asked Lu Shi's neighbors. Because Lu Shi stood at the door that day and yelled at each other, which was quite embarrassing, so many people remember this."
"I see..." Hua Yitang squinted and looked at Fang Ke's expression. Unfortunately, Fang Ke lived up to his name, and his facial features were like the lines carved on stone, without any movement.
Hua Yitang waved his small fan and looked at Lin Sui'an.
Lin Sui'an crossed his arms across his chest, feeling a little unsure now:
From what it sounds like, Fang Ke's suspicion cannot be ruled out. Perhaps the speculations he mentioned yesterday about Doctor Ji being the murderer were originally intended to confuse the public and cover up his crimes.
Sure enough, reasoning without empirical evidence, no matter how reasonable it sounds, is untenable.
Not long after, the bad guy led Ji Gaoyang to the court in a hurry. After hearing County Magistrate Xu explain the reason for asking him to question him, he shook his head repeatedly and said: "The cause of Shi Lao's death was indeed an epileptic seizure, and he died of suffocation due to vomit blocking his throat. An accident. As for symptoms such as enlargement of the corpse and green skin, it was caused by the corpse decomposing for many days after death and the corpse gas filling the internal organs, skin, and blood vessels. This is something everyone knows. If you don't believe it, please ask Li Zu to testify in court. Ask."
Magistrate Xu had no choice but to call Li Wuzuo to the court again. Fortunately, it was still early today, so Li Wuzuo had not drank and was still sober. He gave his testimony, "Doctor Ji is right. After a few days of decomposition, the corpse will indeed appear in the above state. "
Magistrate Xu was very satisfied and raised the gavel high: "So, the case is clear. Lu Shi died in an accident. Lu Jiu's accusation against Xiaoyan and Fang Ke for poisoning and making money was purely a false accusation. Xiaoyan and Fang Ke He is not guilty and will be released in court. Lu Jiu falsely accused others and his heart is abominable. He will be fined two thousand coins and given thirty sticks - "
"Lu Shi indeed died of poisoning." Fang Ke suddenly said something, which shocked Magistrate Xu to the point where he almost dropped the gavel in his hand.
Everyone was dumbfounded and stared at the thin doctor in the hall.
Fang Ke straightened his back, his pale and gloomy face expressionless, and emphasized again, "They made a mistake in the test!"
Li Wuzuo was furious, pointing at Fang Ke's nose and yelling: "What the hell! I have been working as a Wuzuo for ten years, and I have handled hundreds of corpses, and I have never made any mistakes!"
Fang Ke: "You are an alcoholic and you know nothing about autopsy."
"My work has passed three tests and four tests, and I have a letter of appointment from the government! You, you are a quack, you don't know anything about autopsies!"
"Oh, Lu Shi's body was also examined by the doctor."
"Doctor Ji has superb medical skills and high moral standards. Everyone in Heyue City knows it. Why do you, a quack doctor, compare to Dr. Ji?!"
"Just because Ji Gaoyang is the murderer who poisoned Lu Shi!"
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the whole hall was boiling.
"Oh my dear, is this Fang Ji sick? Dr. Ji came to testify and help him clear his name. But he was so lucky that he actually raked the shit pot over and dropped it on Dr. Ji's head."
"It's simply inexplicable! Doctor Ji and Wu Zuo both said that Lu Shi died of an accident. He insisted on saying that Lu Shi died of poisoning. How can he be so safe?"
"I believe him when he says Li Wuzuo made a mistake in his test, and I don't believe him when he says Dr. Ji made a mistake in his test and beat me to death!"
"You don't know this, right? The business of Fang's Medical Clinic is bleak. I heard that they can't even eat. They must be jealous of Doctor Ji's business, so they framed Doctor Ji!"
"I heard that this Fang Ke has treated people to death. It's crazy that someone would go to his home to see a doctor."
"Hey, is this the kind of person who doesn't want to see smoke coming from other people's chimneys?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, shameless! Shameless!"
Hua Yitang obviously didn't expect Fang Ke to act like this. He covered his open mouth with his fan, his eyebrows almost flew to the sky, and he winked at Lin Sui'an frequently.
Lin Sui'an said: What a guy, what a fierce guy!
Ji Gaoyang was stunned: "Fang Ke, I have no enmity or enmity with you, why do you want to frame me like this?!"
Fang Ke looked at Ji Gaoyang, his dark eyes were like an abyss without any light, "It's you!"
Ji Gaoyang clasped his fists: "Your Majesty, the county magistrate clearly understands that Ji is unjustly accused!"
Magistrate Xu was now two heads tall, and he slapped the crowd wildly: "Quiet! Quiet! Fang Ke, don't make random accusations! Be careful, I will also sentence you to a false accusation!"
"I have evidence." Fang Ke pulled out the ten autopsy grids from his sleeve, "These are the autopsy grids of the deceased who were poisoned by Ji Gaoyang in the past three months."
As soon as these words came out, Ji Gaoyang's expression suddenly became fierce, and he glared at Fang Ke almost spitting out fire.
The bad person presented the autopsy results to Magistrate Xu. Magistrate Xu looked through a few pictures and said with a cold sweat on his forehead, "This, the autopsy results are not in compliance with the regulations, and the cause of death mentioned above, this... that... Ouch...Li Wuzuo, come and take a look."
The livid-faced Li Wuzuo stepped forward and flipped through two or three pages, and sneered repeatedly, "What nonsense is written in this article? I have no idea what it means. It keeps saying that these dead people died of poisoning, but they can't even determine what kind of poison it was. How to make it happen?" Are people convinced?!”
"The poison is in Ji's Medical Center," Fang Ke added. "Ji Gaoyang planted many medicinal herbs in his back house, and the poisonous herbs were mixed in. All he had to do was take samples of all the medicinal herbs and test them one by one, and then compare them with Lu Shi's body. , will definitely be able to identify poisons.”
Oh haha! Lin Sui'an understood Fang Ke's intention.
This was a plan to draw money from under the cauldron and use the government's help to search Ji's Medical Center so that he could find the poison he had never been able to find. But how could he be sure that the poison was freshly grown and not some medicinal material, powder or extract? By the way, he had checked Lu Shi's medicinal residue and should have found something.
But would anyone really openly plant poisonous weeds at home?
"It's extremely ridiculous!" Ji Gaoyang clasped his fists, "Replying to your lord, I am a doctor. I have hundreds of medicinal materials at home and dozens of medicinal herbs. Some herbs and medicinal materials are indeed toxic, but as long as they are used in a reasonable amount, they can save lives. Good medicine, all doctors know this, even if poisonous medicinal materials are found, it is normal. I believe that there are some in Dr. Fang’s medical clinic!"
"Let's search my house together." Fang Ke said, "Let's check together."
Ji Gaoyang suddenly choked and blushed, his neck thickened.
Magistrate Xu wiped cold sweat from his sleeves and asked Hua Yitang for help, "I heard that Hua Shiro is quite experienced in solving mysterious cases. According to your opinion, what should be done about this case?"
Hua Yitang shook his fan and said slowly: "It's all caused by this. If we don't check it clearly, I'm afraid it will damage the reputation of the two doctors."
Ji Gaoyang's face turned livid with anger and he shouted angrily: "Just search, just check, just check, I'm upright and not afraid of slanted shadows!"
Fang Ke said "heh".
Magistrate Xu had no choice but to take a picture of the alarm: "Someone, go and bring all the medicinal materials and herbs from Ji's Medical Center and Fang's Medical Center!"
A group of bad guys took the order and set off in formation. When they were about to go out, Fang Ji reminded them again: "Wear gloves when pulling out herbs and be careful."
Some of the bad people looked disdainful, while others sneered, and they didn't know how much they listened to.
Lin Sui'an observed the square carving with great interest. He still had the same stone face, as if he didn't even bother to give charity, but the reminder he just made showed that he was not a hard-hearted person - Lin Sui'an couldn't help but The corner of his mouth raised: Could it be that she is a tsundere with a "sharp mouth and a heart of bean curs"?
"Hmm, cough, cough, cough!" Hua Yitang walked up to Fang Ke's side, waving his fan, and said in a low voice, "Hey, how sure are you? If you slip up, I'm afraid you'll get slapped."
Fang Ke glanced sideways at Hua Yitang and said, "It's none of your business."
One sentence made Hua Yitang so angry that his eyes almost popped out, and he shook his little fan so hard that he almost got angry.
It took a lot of time to transport the medicinal materials. Magistrate Xu ordered the hall to be closed at halftime. He wanted to invite Hua Yitang to go to the back office to drink tea with him, but Hua Yitang ignored him and could only walk away in despair.
It was extremely boring to watch the people onlookers, and there was another discussion of "the mother-in-law is right, the father-in-law is right," and it was impossible to argue four or five or six for a while. Lu Jiu and Xiaoyan were completely reduced to supporting roles. Lu Jiu's eyes were rolling, and Xiaoyan's brows were deeply furrowed, her face was hesitant, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
The strangest thing was Jin Ruo, who kept staring at Xiaoyan with a thoughtful expression.
Eta: "Brother Jin, what are you looking at?"
Jin Ruohe said: "My surname is Jin, not Jin!"
Eta: "Okay, Brother Jin."
Jin Ruo: "..."
Lin Sui'an: "Jin Ruo, you're not really going to get interested, are you?"
Jin Ruo: "Yesterday I followed Xiaoyan. She wandered around Beiyuefang for several hours, and asked everyone about the news near Lu Shi's house. She seemed to be investigating something?"
Lin Sui'an: "Did she also check the cause of Lu Shi's death?"
Jin Ruo frowned and was about to say something when he saw Hua Yitang coming over and asked, "How did the previous investigation go?"
Ita raised her hand: "I——"
Mu Xia hurriedly stopped his big tongue to report and took over the conversation, "Yita went to check several jewelry stores in the city yesterday. None of them are owned by the Hua family. One of them also had a fake gemstone ring. The appearance was very exquisite. If Eta hadn't pointed it out, the shopkeeper wouldn't have even discovered it."
Shopkeeper Zhang and Shopkeeper Li: "Eh?"
Lin Sui'an was surprised, Jin Ruo patted Ita on the shoulder, "I didn't expect you have good eyesight."
Etta: "A handful."
Jin Ruo: "...you want to say it's just so-so."
Hua Yitang: "Yita grew up in Hua's family since she was a child. In terms of her ability to identify treasures, no one can match her except me." After saying this, Hua Yitang raised his eyebrows at Lin Sui'an again. "This attendant is well rewarded."
Lin Sui'an: "..."
There was a noise outside the door. The bad guy was back, carrying several big boxes. He was panting from exhaustion. His eyes as he looked at Fang Che were filled with complaints. Magistrate Xu went to court again and ordered people to search the two medical clinics. The things that came were put in neat piles.
On the left side, there is a pile of sun-dried medicinal materials arranged in categories. They are large in quantity and rich in variety. There are also more than ten kinds of freshly picked medicinal herbs with dewdrops hanging on them. They are very fresh and naturally come from Ji's Medical Center.
The pile on the right looks a little weird. There are basically no medicinal herbs. There are only a pile of porcelain bottles and four white porcelain jars with strange numbers on them. They don't look like things that should be found in a serious medical clinic.
Magistrate Xu’s head got bigger: “How do you identify so many things?”
Hua Yitang: "Why don't we ask doctors from other hospitals to take a look?"
County Magistrate Xu: "Yes, yes, what Huajia Silang said is true. Come on, please go find some more doctors!"
Several bad guys ran out again, and not long after, they dragged back seven or eight doctors. After running several times this morning, they were all so tired that they couldn't even tell, and they were as angry as a team of frogs.
The doctors who were dragged here looked puzzled when they heard that they wanted to identify the medicinal materials from the two medical clinics, but they still divided into two teams and followed the orders to identify. The team in charge of Ji's Medical Center made rapid progress, and the team in charge of Fang's Medical Center made rapid progress. Feeling a little embarrassed, he circled around the white porcelain jar several times, not daring to move rashly, looking at Fang Ke's expression as if he was quite apprehensive.
After a long while, an old doctor finally plucked up the courage to open the jar. In an instant, putrid gas spurted out. The old doctor was so shocked that he fell to the ground. Everyone in the hall was almost fainted. Magistrate Xu covered his nose and screamed: "What's in there?!"
Fang Ke raised the corners of his mouth with a gloomy smile: "The heart, lungs, gastric juice and intestines of Lu Shi's corpse."
Everyone: "Ugh, vomit, vomit!"
Only Lin Sui'an and Hua Yitang were calm in the audience.
Hua Yitang shook his fan wildly: "Not only do I feel that this person does not look like a good person, but I also--"
Lin Sui'an pinched his nose: "A bit crazy."
Fang Ke: "These internal organs are evidence that Lu Shi died of poison. Can't Li Zuo come and take a look?"
Li Wuzuo's face turned green. He covered his nose with his sleeves and walked forward. He took a look, turned around and vomited. After vomiting for a long time, he regained his composure and shouted angrily, "These internal organs are rotten, and the cause of death cannot be determined at all." , you are clearly here to cause trouble!"
Fang Ke: "Are you sure?"
Li Wuzuo: "I have been doing Wuzuo for ten years, of course I am sure!"
"Quickly, quickly, get these rotten things out!" Magistrate Xu yelled.
The bad guy carried the white porcelain jar and ran away from Lin Sui'an. Lin Sui'an stepped aside and passed without stopping him or making a sound. Like Hua Yitang, she looked at Fang Ke silently, sneered at him, moved her lips, and uttered a few words.
[As expected, they are all idiots. 】
Hua Yitang clenched his fan tightly, and Lin Sui'an frowned.
In the chaos, the doctors responsible for inspecting Ji's Medical Center finished their work, wrote down the names and uses of all the medicinal materials and herbs on paper, and presented them to Magistrate Xu.
"Reporting to Magistrate Xu, there are a total of 110 kinds of medicinal materials here, and 36 kinds of fresh herbs. They are all commonly used medicines and there is nothing suspicious about them. However... there is a kind of medicinal herb that we have never seen before and we dare not speak falsely. "
Fang Ke suddenly straightened his back, and Hua Yitang's eyes lit up.
Lin Sui'an: Oh! Could it be that I was really deceived? :,,
