"You are so slanderous!"
Zhou Tianci was the target of public criticism, like a vicious dog that had lost its family, howling and barking on the stage, "You surnamed Song, you are despicable. In order to plot my family's property, you carefully set up such a big scheme!"
He looked towards Liu Boyong with his last hope: "Master Liu, you have a bright mirror and must clear my name!"
Liu Boyong, who had been silent until now, slowly stood up and said: "This case involves many lives. I need to investigate the truth. The plaintiff can go to the government office tomorrow to file a complaint and redress his grievances, and then the case will be heard in court."
Zhou Tian gives joy to his eyebrows.
However, Song Che frowned. If he kept delaying and couldn't do anything, Zhou Tianci's methods would surely find many loopholes overnight. He hurriedly stopped him: "Master Liu, wait a minute, the evidence is conclusive now, why wait until tomorrow? Please issue an order immediately to apprehend the real culprit!"
Liu Boyong frowned: "This is a meeting place, not a courtroom. There are no official documents about the complaint. How do you expect me to issue an order to arrest people?"
Song Che said reluctantly: "Then the father and son who care so little about human life should be thrown into prison first!"
"Bold!" Liu Boyong shouted angrily: "I am handling the case, why do you need a commoner to interrupt! If you dare to say more, I will send you to jail first!"
Song Che's face darkened, the despicable nature of the protection between officials and businessmen was evident.
All the guests sighed.
Seeing that the situation had changed, Liu Boyong flicked his sleeves and planned to leave. But at this moment, a sonorous voice came from behind the crowd:
"Master Liu, you have such great authority!"
The crowd opened a path, and a young man in black led a middle-aged man in brown robes and strode forward.
Liu Boyong took a closer look and stuttered in shock: "Privy... Privy Councilor, Mr. Gao... Gao!"
The envoy of the Privy Council, Gao Chen, was a first-class official with power over the government and the public.
"Master Gao, why are you here?" Liu Boyong nodded and bowed to greet him.
Gao Chen said: "The rogue bandits are rampant along the coast. I was ordered by the emperor to control the sea troubles. I happened to pass by Hangzhou and coincided with the Pearl Festival. I just heard about a tragedy."
He glanced at Liu Boyong again, "It just so happens that the whole city is gathered here, why not arrest the murderer here at Mr. Wangjiang and restore his innocence to the world?"
"Hey, okay, okay, okay, Sir Gao, you are right!" Liu Boyong led Gao Chen and gave him his seat, "Master Gao has strict laws, so this case should be tried by you. "
"Then I will turn my back on the guest and be disrespectful." Gao Chen turned to Song Che again and asked: "Why don't you take out all the evidence in your hand so that I can settle the case."
Song Che saw the Privy Councilor's uprightness and extraordinary magnanimity, and knew that he would win tonight, so he walked to the old lady first.
The old lady was powerless, and her old eyes were filled with tears of sorrow.
Song Che bowed deeply: "Grandma, there is something I have to tell you. The reason why I came to see you to say goodbye a few days ago was not because my mother was seriously ill, but because Wenjun...she was bitten by a five-step snake."
"Ah?" The old lady was furious for a moment, her face was bloodless, she was holding on to the chair handle to barely prevent herself from falling, and lamented: "Another five-step snake? What kind of evil has my Zhou family done? Why do we always keep it? It’s to attract that poisonous snake!”
"The five-step snake is extremely venomous. Your uncle was bitten by that snake and died." Zhou Hui also had tears in her eyes and asked urgently: "Brother-in-law, how is Wenjun doing now?"
"If the heroes of the world hadn't used their inner strength to remove the poison from her, I'm afraid... Sigh!" Song Che sighed and turned to face the crowd: "It would be fine if he was bitten by a poisonous snake in the garden or in the grass, but that poisonous snake... Hidden under the covers!
The five-step snake was born in the southwest and cannot be found anywhere in the south of the Yangtze River. It is even less likely to appear in a house out of thin air.
The only reasonable thing is to use this venomous snake as medicine. Looking at the whole city of Hangzhou, the only shop that uses five-venomous snakes as medicine is 'Qian's Pharmacy'! "
At this point, he took out another jar from his sleeve, presented it to the old lady and said, "Grandma, this medicine was taken out of the dregs bucket by my grandson-in-law on the pretext of going to the dining room to cook porridge on the night you fell ill." slag;
I specially took the dregs of this medicine to a doctor for evaluation, and they all said that this medicine is a great remedy for dryness and heat. Not only does it not have the effect of reducing fever, but when a person with a high fever takes it, his blood will surge and he may die suddenly! "
The old lady lost all hope, took a deep breath and closed her eyes, "What a crime, what a crime..."
Aunt Fang, the maid, stood uneasy.
Gao Chen glanced at the guests from the corner of his eye and asked: "The boss of Qian's Drug Store should be among them, right? Why don't you come out and explain?"
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man in his fifties knelt down and said, "Qian Chun, a common man... is just a doctor selling medicine. I give the customers whatever they want, not knowing that they will use it to harm others!"
"Then who bought these tonics and five-step snake from you?" Gao Chen asked.
"The person who comes to buy a five-step snake wears a power fence on his head. Trading of these venomous snakes is prohibited, and the villain is also cautious about selling. He doesn't know who the buyer is, but he comes to grab the tonic." Doctor Qian raised his finger and pointed at Aunt Fang :"is her."
Aunt Fang looked flustered and hurriedly explained: "I'm not a doctor. How do I know that tonics can't be used on patients with fever? I gave the old lady the tonic because I saw that the old lady was weak and wanted to save her life!"
"You were the one who diagnosed the old lady?" Gao Chen asked Dr. Qian.
Doctor Qian buried his head and said: "It's a good thing from the grassroots, and the medicine prescribed by the grassroots is also a fever-reducing medicine..."
Gao Chen said coldly: "But what she came to get was a tonic. As a doctor, you knew that a person with a fever might die if he took a lot of tonic, but you still prescribed tonics for him. Furthermore, you knew that the five-step snake drama It's extremely poisonous, but you still sell it privately... How can your kindness as a doctor be eaten by a dog?"
Doctor Qian was trembling all over. He had no reason to argue anymore, and he kowtowed and begged for mercy: "The common people deserve to die! The common people were greedy and took the money, but they really had no intention of harming others!"
"What about you? What other explanation is there?" Gao Chen asked Aunt Xiang Fang.
Aunt Fang made a plop, knelt in front of the old lady's chair, and cried: "Old lady, I have been serving you since I was fourteen years old. Have I ever hurt you in the past twelve years? The brains of people like us nowadays They are all stupid. They only know that people are weak and should be nourished, so they do bad things with good intentions——"
"Vicious woman! You need to stop pretending!"
But before Aunt Fang could finish her words, a clear female voice came from among the children of the Zhou family.
Zhou Yazhao got out of the crowd, knelt down in front of the old lady with tears in his eyes, and shouted: "Auntie!"
"Yazhao...you...you're not mute anymore?" The old lady opened her eyes in shock.
Everyone in the Zhou family was shocked, and Song Che was also quite surprised.
Zhou Yazhao cried and cried: "Auntie, I have always pretended to have a bad mouth, just because I am afraid of being retaliated by others." She pointed at Aunt Fang and said hatefully:
"Seven years ago in the summer, I was feeling depressed and went out for a walk. When I passed by my elder brother's courtyard, I saw a person carrying a cage and sneaking into the house from the backyard. I was curious and followed him. Unexpectedly, I saw this poisonous woman coming out of the cage. A five-step snake was pinched out of it and thrown into the eldest brother's room through the window!
I was despised by people in the Zhou family, and even if I told it, it would be difficult for anyone to believe it. I was afraid that one day the news would leak out, so I took advantage of my illness to lose my voice, and pretended to be that for seven whole years, seven years! I have finally waited for this day!"
"My...my...my son!"
The old lady shouted to the sky, fell off the chair and passed out.
Sad!
