A fragrance as light as sweet-scented osmanthus filled the whole place.
However, not many people noticed it at this moment, but were surprised by the scene in front of them.
Ouyang Rong suddenly stood up.
Shen Xisheng also frowned and stood up. Wang Lengran raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Liu Ziwen whose expression remained unchanged.
Yan Liulang pushed Liu Ziwen away and stayed away from the Jade Immortal.
The surrounding policemen rushed forward and grabbed Liu Ziwen.
The detectives looked wary.
Liu Ziwen opened his arms and let them search him.
The whole place fell into chaos for a short time, but Diao Xiancheng quickly led people to calm him down.
Xie Lingjiang also rushed forward immediately, came to the fallen Yuxi female fairy, and immediately pointed at certain acupuncture points in front of her and quickly counted them.
Unlock her closed acupuncture points so that she can run her spiritual energy to detoxify.
However, it seemed that the poison she had been hit by was very strong. The face of the Jade Lady Fairy was red, then turned pale, and then turned the color of pig liver.
The face of the Jade Immortal was stiff, and bright red blood slowly flowed from her nose, eyes, mouth and other seven orifices, and her body suddenly twitched several times.
Xie Lingjiang held her down, pinched her lower jaw with his left hand, looked at the mouth of the Jade Lady Fairy, and seemed to find that there was no bite poison. He immediately grabbed the wrist of the Jade Lady Fairy with his right hand, frowned in silence, and sent spiritual energy into her body. .
The eyes of the Jade Fairy were so wide that even though she fell to the ground, they were still slanted and glaring at the figure of Liu Ziwen not far away who was cooperating with the body search and acting like an innocent citizen.
"Wine...wine...better than..."
The Jade Fairy's face was ashen, and she made a final hiccup sound from her mouth. Xie Lingjiang frowned and put her ears close to her ears before hearing these words.
"Wine? Bi?"
Xie Lingjiang looked around the Jade Immortal, but found no drinks or other items.
In addition, she had been staying quietly in the prison last night, and everything she ate and drank was under her supervision, and there was no alcohol.
Could it be the drink I drank before today?
Xie Lingjiang raised his head in confusion, looked past the crowd around him, and looked at the young county magistrate behind the case in front of him.
Ouyang Rong turned his head, squinted at Liu Ziwen, nodded in approval:
"Master Liu, you are amazing."
"What are you talking about, Lord Magistrate? Wait, don't you think this is the work of ordinary people?"
Liu Ziwen shook his head firmly and said in an innocent tone:
"It's unfair, Lord Magistrate. You and everyone else just saw it. The grass-roots people didn't touch her during the whole process. She fell to the ground due to convulsions. The grass-roots people don't know what kind of disease she had. It's impossible to say that she was deliberately slandering the grass-roots people. Or he is pretending to be dead and escaping, hoping that the magistrate will find out."
Ouyang Rong stared at him for a while, then smiled and nodded slightly, as if he was not in a hurry.
Liu Ziwen's expression calmed down, and he lowered his eyes to cooperate with the seizure and body search by the police around him.
After a while, the chaos on the field gradually subsided. Yan Liulang and others stood up together with Xie Lingjiang and came to Ouyang Rong's table.
Yan Liulang frowned and said with a serious expression: "Ming Mansion, I found this thing from Liu Ziwen in a humble position."
Looking at a porcelain bottle with a red cloth cover presented in front of him, Ouyang Rong silently picked it up and took a look, suddenly feeling that it looked familiar.
This porcelain vase is the same as the small porcelain vase that Liu Ziwen handed to him yesterday when he was pretending to be the Jade Fairy to indicate poisoning.
It's just that the color of the bottle cover is different. Yesterday's porcelain bottle was blue cloth. He placed the porcelain vase in Meilu Garden yesterday.
Ouyang Rong glanced at Liu Ziwen coldly, and then handed the small porcelain bottle to an old man brought by Yan Liulang.
The old man lowered his head to inspect the porcelain bottle to detect poison.
While everyone was waiting, Xie Lingjiang said to Ouyang Rong:
"I don't know what kind of poison it is, but it is extremely toxic. It has penetrated deep into the Dantian meridians and rushed directly to the Zifu Lingtai. I temporarily used spiritual energy to seal the spread of the poison, but the poison was extremely destructive in his body and he fainted, but this was not permanent. We need to find an antidote, otherwise the best result will be numbness and paralysis, no different from the dead."
Ouyang Rong took a long breath and was silent. At this moment, the old man lowered his head and thought for a long time, put down the porcelain bottle, and took a step forward.
The old man re-presented the porcelain vase against the expectant gazes of Yan Liulang and others. He did not report it in public, but sighed and took small steps to the calm-looking Ouyang Rong, covered his mouth and whispered a few words.
Everyone was curious when they saw this.
Liu Ziwen broke free from the grasp of the policeman behind him, took a step forward and said:
"Your Excellency the County Magistrate, Mr. Wang, and Mr. Shen, this is just a bottle of incense that I carry with you, and it is not a scourge."
After listening to the old man's whisper, Ouyang Rong silently took the small porcelain bottle, lowered his eyes, and then raised his eyes to Liu Ziwen.
He doesn't speak.
Liu Ziwen forced a smile, but there were faint drops of sweat on his forehead.
Ouyang Rong's reaction made his originally relaxed heart get excited again.
He was afraid that the young magistrate would be angry and accuse him directly.
At this moment, a slightly high-pitched male voice sounded on the field.
"Master Ouyang."
It was Wang Lengran, the governor of Jiangzhou, who had not spoken since the start of the public trial.
I saw him twirling his goatee with his fingers, turning his head with a smile and saying:
"What did you discover in this work? You can tell it and let everyone listen. If Liu Ziwen really poisoned the witness in front of the court, then no one can protect him. I and Mr. Shen are walking here to support me. It is not unjust. A good guy, but never let go of a bad guy.”
Xie Lingjiang frowned and glanced at the Jiangzhou governor whose attitude and words were a bit off.
A question that she had ignored suddenly came to her mind. Why did the senior brother pretending to be the Jade Lady Fairy choose to attack and kill the supervisor Shen Xisheng instead of Wang Lengran yesterday? In other words, why wasn't he chopped up together?
During the silence on the court, Xie Lingjiang couldn't help but look at her senior brother, who also looked at her. The two senior brothers and sisters looked at each other, as if they had a tacit understanding and wanted to get together.
Then, Ouyang Rong nodded gently towards the embarrassed old man, "Go ahead."
The old man raised his hands and said bluntly:
"My lords, please forgive me for my lack of knowledge. This thing... should be non-toxic. It has a faint smell of osmanthus, but I don't know what it is used for."
Liu Ziwen sighed: "It's just a bottle of incense. If you don't believe me, you can let everyone smell it."
"Shut up! No matter how big or small, in court, is there any place for you to interrupt?"
Yan Liulang turned around and shouted, Liu Ziwen choked and stopped talking.
Outside the court, among the waiting Liu family members, Liu Zian stood at the front and looked at his eldest brother calmly, and then at the Jade Immortal who fell to the ground.
He remembered the cup of farewell wine that his eldest brother had given them yesterday when he took them all to see off the Jade Fairy and the Chang'an Swordsman.
At that time, the Chang'an Swordsman didn't drink, but the Jade Immortal did...
Liu Ziwen is not a writer.
Liu Zian lowered his eyes and said nothing. The focus of the audience gathered at the public case table. Wang Lengran nodded slightly and said to Ouyang Rong:
"Sir, it seems that it has nothing to do with Liu Ziwen. However, I hope Mr. Ouyang will investigate carefully as to which villain poisoned him. The impact of poisoning a witness in court is too bad."
The Jiangzhou governor sighed and shook his head, his brows furrowed as if he was quite worried about the security of Longcheng County.
"Liu Ziwen has cleared his ties now? The alchemist named Yuxi Female Fairy was poisoned just as he was about to speak. Now that he is fine, no one can argue with Liu Ziwen. Are there really so many coincidences in the world?
"I believe anyone with a discerning eye should be able to see this matter. Besides, who is most beneficial and who is the most suspicious is the most basic logic of the case. Mr. Wang is well-dressed and well-fed, and is not familiar with local affairs, so it is better to avoid asking questions. Young Master Mislead the people and interfere with the county officials’ handling of the case.”
Shen Xisheng turned around and said seriously.
Wang Lengran glanced at him and snorted softly, "I'm just suggesting this, Mr. Shen is really worried."
Shen Xisheng did not look at him, but turned to Ouyang Rong and said seriously:
"Master Ouyang is only responsible for settling the case. Longcheng County is your jurisdiction. Neither I nor Mr. Wang will overstep my authority."
Ouyang Rong nodded silently, "Thank you, Mr. Shen and Mr. Wang."
Although he said this, anyone with a discerning eye on the court could see that Wang Lengran was faintly supporting Liu Ziwen.
Not to mention that a certain young county magistrate is already upright and upright, even if he wants to use extravagant tactics to get a move or forcibly plant charges, he will probably be confused by the Jiangzhou governor.
Xie Lingjiang, Yan Liulang and others looked at Ouyang Rong with worried eyes.
Ouyang Rong turned his head and glanced at the Jade Fairy who was bleeding from all her orifices and fell into a coma not far away.
Real time proved that he was still careless and negligent, or in other words, his opponent was much dirtier than him, and he was still too kind-hearted. The chain of evidence between the Liu family's bombing of Duke Di and the sending of gangsters to pretend to be county magistrates to assassinate the supervisory envoy has been cut off on the body of the Jade Lady. Before the latter wakes up again, there may be newer evidence, otherwise these two capital crimes seem to be very difficult at the moment. Put it on the Liu family and Liu Ziwen.
After a brief moment of introspection, the young county magistrate took a deep breath, and then shook his head slightly at Xie, Yan and others, indicating not to rush.
After a while, the public trial continued, targeting Ouyang Rong's accusations that the Liu family bombed Di Gongzha and pretended to be the county magistrate to assassinate the supervisory envoy.
Ouyang Rong released some more incriminating evidence collected, although it was not as beneficial as the previous witnesses such as the Jade Princess Fairy.
However, it can be proved that Mr. Chen and other gate repair craftsmen and the Jade Lady Fairy were previously members of the Liu Family and had a subordinate relationship.
Liu Ziwen had no choice but to insist that it was the Jade Princess Fairy. As for who was the mastermind behind the gate bombing and assassination, the Jade Princess Fairy and Liu Ziwen could not be completely determined for the time being.
Finally, the public trial continued for another hour, until the sun approached noon, and an accessory charge was tentatively decided.
As for this kind of non-death crime, except for being beaten like a board like Liu Zilin last time, other prison sentences can be redeemed with money through finding connections, and the Liu family is not short of money.
Xie Lingjiang, Yan Liulang, and most of the people on the scene who were angry with the Liu family became quieter and quieter as they listened.
Shen Xisheng raised his head and glanced at the sun, lowered his head to take a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said kindly: "Master Ouyang, it's late, let's take a rest first."
Ouyang Rong rubbed his face, put down the files in his hands, and announced that the public trial would be suspended and he would take a break at noon.
The atmosphere on the field suddenly relaxed.
Ouyang Rong had no intention of relaxing at all. He turned to call Xie Lingjiang and Yan Liulang, lowered his head and ordered:
"There is no need to be discouraged. The charges of bombing the gate and assassination were the icing on the cake that was not planned. Since Liu Ziwen cannot be convicted, then according to the original plan, the missing female worker of the sword shop and other people who accused the Liu family of evil deeds …
"You guys go to Ah Shan and ask him if the place is ready. In addition... Liulang will help me go to Meiluyuan to get a porcelain vase. It is... don't be impatient. Don't think of Liu Ziwen running away in the second half."
Ouyang Rong gave instructions calmly. When Xie Lingjiang and Yan Liulang heard this, their expressions became more cheerful again.
The trial was temporarily suspended at this moment. Liu Ziwen looked like he was relieved and looked tired.
He calmly exchanged glances with Wang Lengran who was not far away, seeming to express gratitude.
Not long after, he saw Ouyang Rong talking calmly to his subordinates at the public case table, glancing over from time to time. The face of the young head of the Liu family darkened again, his pace quickened, and he turned around and left the open space of the open-air court. Behind him was a young county magistrate. His eyes were always shining on his back.
Outside the court, the common people who formed circles subconsciously made way for the young head of the Liu family.
Liu Ziwen, who had gained a lot of power in Longcheng County, did not even look at the untouchables around him who looked fearful and hateful. He rubbed his face, his tired face was a little heavy, as if he was thinking about what to do in the second half. .
Not far away from the crowd, Liu Zian and Liu Zilin were rushing towards them with the servants of the Liu family.
Liu Zilin looked excited.
Liu Zian smiled.
The second head of the Liu family walked at the front, unfolding a cloak prepared for his eldest brother with both hands, and stepped forward to greet him.
Liu Ziwen, who had temporarily escaped from the dangerous courtroom, saw them, walked through the path given by the crowd with his hands behind his back, and walked towards the two younger brothers who were greeting him.
Among the crowds on both sides, a gray felt hat suddenly fell to the ground. A man bent down to pick it up. Liu Ziwen, who was passing by, saw the figure below him from the corner of his eye and frowned slightly: "Don't block the way..."
Before he finished speaking, the bent man pulled out a dazzling white light from his hat and stabbed it into Liu Ziwen's stomach from an upward angle.
This knife.
The white knife goes in and the red knife comes out.
"Ah——!" Liu Ziwen screamed and backed away.
While the crowd on both sides was stunned, the man in the felt hat chased after him with a bloody blade in hand, threw Liu Ziwen down and sat on top of him.
Another knife.
This time it's the chest.
The red knife goes in, the red knife comes out.
"You..." Liu Ziwen's voice stopped suddenly, his mouth opened wide, and his eyes widened.
Both hands subconsciously grasped the handle of the knife that the man in the felt hat stabbed into his chest. From a distance, the two people's "sticking" action seemed to be very intimate. The knife was like Liu Ziwen holding the handle and sending it in. The same as his own chest.
This sudden change happened in less than three breaths, and the crowd fell into a deathly silence. The people all watched with hands tied, and no one came forward to help.
As if he missed his heart, the man in the felt hat suddenly pulled out his knife and prepared to strike a third time. But at this moment, Liu Zilin, Liu Zian and others who were not far away came to their senses and rushed forward.
"Brother!"
The man in the felt hat was thrown aside by Liu Zilin, whose face was full of grief and anger.
The man in the felt hat kicked the third young master of the Liu family away. In front of everyone present, he turned his head and shouted loudly in the direction of the public case not far away:
"Sir, I'm going!"
After the words fell, the man wiped his neck with blood, twitched and fell to the ground.
Yan Liulang and other police officers who rushed over heard this and were stunned for a moment. They didn't even step forward to check Liu Ziwen's injury immediately. They couldn't help but turn their heads and look at a young county magistrate in the distance. .
Ouyang Rong: "..."
The whole place boiled instantly.
Amidst the overwhelming noise all around.
"Brother!" Liu Ziwen lay lying in Liu Zian's arms, and the latter shouted in grief and anger.
Liu Ziwen stabbed his chest twice, but his heart was still beating. He missed the critical point completely. He covered his chest and gasped for air, and opened his mouth to speak. At this time, his whole body suddenly twitched. Liu Ziwen's eyes widened with an incredible look, and his nose The bright red blood slowly flowing from the seven orifices including the eyes, mouth, etc. is actually similar to the signs of poisoning by the Jade Lady Fairy before...
The fragrance, as light as sweet-scented osmanthus, still filled the whole place.
The blood-stained white blade that fell to the ground shone coldly.
One of the dungeon bosses died, brothers, please don’t be embarrassed (bushi)
