Ye Jintang, who was on the side, saw that Song Deshan refused to admit and was about to speak. Jiang Zhi said coldly, "I have always been fair and strict in judging cases."
"If it is really the Magistrate Ye's family that you poisoned, I will naturally produce evidence that will convince you."
Since the coffin was to be opened and an autopsy was to be performed, it was natural for a man to perform an autopsy.
"I remember Zhang Tong, the government office should have two widowers. Since one is dead, where is the other one?"
"Back to Mr. Jiang, Cheng Zuo went to other places to handle a case a few days ago and hasn't come back yet."
There is no way to do an autopsy without a coroner.
Song Deshan breathed a huge sigh of relief. He still had people outside. As long as the coffins could not be opened for autopsy today, his people would find a way to destroy the four buried corpses.
As long as there is no evidence, it will not be easy for Ye Jintang to sue him.
"Sir, in addition to the two clerks in the government office in Yuezhou City, there is also Dr. Dong who resigned a few years ago. He has been a clerk in the government office for many years. I believe it is okay for him to do the autopsy."
Ye Jintang stood in the lobby and said calmly.
"What do you think of Zhang Tongpan?"
Jiang Zhi's face looked a little ugly, and his fleeting glance fell on Zhang Tongpan, making him inexplicably scared.
As expected of someone from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, just looking at him can make people nervous to death.
"Dr. Dong's medical skills are very good. If he does an autopsy, I believe he will be very convincing. However, Dr. Dong is not young and I don't know if he can do the autopsy."
"I have my own way."
Jiang Zhi stood up, led a group of government officials, and escorted Song Deshan out of the city to the hills near Yizhuang.
Many people who gathered around the government office to watch the excitement also followed. This matter was a major event in Yuezhou City, and everyone wanted to find out.
On the way there, Jiang Zhi sent the two boys around him away. One of them went to ask Dr. Dong to help with the autopsy, and the other one disappeared without a trace.
Soon, under the leadership of Zhou Cong, everyone came to the hill. Four new graves were hidden alone in the forest. Several government officials took the tools and started digging directly.
Ye Jintang stood at the front, wanting to see if the person in the coffin had turned into a pile of bones.
"Miss Ye, please stand back, it will stink when the restaurant opens."
Jiang Zhi stepped forward and blocked Ye Jintang's view.
"Thank you, Master Jiang, for reminding me."
Ye Jintang just took a few steps back when an unpleasant rancid smell hit his face.
Dr. Dong, who was late, took out a cloth bag, grabbed some gray powder from it and sprinkled it around. The unpleasant rancid smell was now a little lighter.
Ye Jintang gently covered her mouth and nose, frowning, and couldn't help but take a few steps back. The rancid smell was so unpleasant that her stomach was churning with nausea.
"Give."
A pair of big hands handed over a blue sachet.
Looking up from his big hand, Jiang Zhi looked indifferent, but Ye Jintang didn't know whether he should accept it or not.
"Here, the coffin hasn't been opened yet. The smell will be unpleasant when the coffin is opened. Don't be nauseated later."
Jiang Zhi forcefully pushed the sachet into Ye Jintang's hand.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang."
Ye Jintang held the sachet rather uneasily, feeling a little flustered for no reason.
The scent of sachets in summer is mainly fresh and woody. Ye Jintang vaguely felt that the smell of sachets was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had smelled it.
After a while, the yamen officer came forward and opened the coffin.
The moment the coffin was opened, everyone couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses. The smell was so disgusting.
Some people couldn't bear it anymore and ran to a distance and retched.
Doctor Dong offered incense to the four people one by one, then covered their mouths and noses with white brocade and came forward to inspect them.
He took out a piece of grayish white bones from a coffin and said, "Sir, I have examined it and found that all four deceased people died of poisoning."
"Doctor Dong know what poisoned them to death?"
"Judging from the color of the bones, they were poisoned by a kind of poison called bone-eating grass. As long as the bone-eating grass is eaten by mistake, gray marks will be left on the bones after death."
"And in the sunlight, these gray marks will have a faint glow."
As he spoke, Doctor Dong showed the bones to the onlookers.
Song Deshan, who was standing aside with his hands tied, yelled, "Master Jiang, I am wronged. Who knows where these dead bones came from. It must be Ye Jintang who is resentful of my Song Ji, so he deliberately framed her."
While saying these words, Song Deshan looked at Ye Jintang with vicious eyes.
Ye Jintang immediately understood what this meant.
He was desperate and wanted to threaten Ye Jintang. If he revealed that Song Jiye broke into her yard that day, even if the Song family was unlucky, Ye Jintang would also be in trouble.
A woman's reputation and chastity are more important than their life.
If people knew that Song Jiye broke into Ye Jintang's yard, even if nothing happened, all kinds of rumors could destroy her.
To deal with a shameless person like Song Deshan, one can only be more shameless than him.
"Song Deshan opened his eyes and took a look. Standing here are the parents, brothers and sisters of the deceased. Could it be that I bribed so many people in order to frame you?"
"Besides, if you and I have no grievances, why should I frame you."
"I don't have any relatives in Yuezhou City. I am just a helpless orphan. What ability do I have to bribe so many people to frame you."
"Today I am beating the drum of injustice to seek justice for the sixteen members of our Ye family who died. If you didn't poison them, what would you be afraid of?"
"No matter how you try to hold me back now, I won't be afraid. God is watching what you do. I believe Mr. Jiang will definitely give me justice and give justice to the people who died."
"Each of them is the mainstay of the family. If you kill them, it is not just a person who dies, but a family. All your family's property will be confiscated, but you must also pay enough money to the relatives of the deceased."
Ye Jintang's eyes were firm, and her words made all four family members of the deceased blush.
"Song, my little daughter just got married. How could you, such a heartless person, poison her? Her good life has just begun, and it's gone like this. I'm going to fight you to the death."
An aunt burst into tears and rushed towards Song Deshan as she spoke.
The government officials next to him only pretended to stop him, and the aunt stepped forward and scratched Song Deshan's face.
Several other female relatives immediately followed suit and stepped forward to tear Song Deshan apart.
"Mom, stop fighting. Mr. Guan is still here. He will definitely help my sister get justice."
The young man stepped forward to pull the women at home, but his fist fell heavily on Song Deshan.
Ye Jintang on the side looked at Song Deshan being pushed to the ground and beaten, with a smile on his face.
At this moment, Song Deshan wanted to throw dirty water on her, but he was afraid that he was powerless.
After two moments of such commotion, Jiang Zhi asked someone to rescue Song Deshan, who had been beaten into a pig's head.
"Go back to the government office first, I will make my own decision."
