Chapter 204

Because the formula of the Butterfly Seven Spices handed over by the Marquis of Qingyuan did not dare to move, the old lady Xu easily found the root of the cold poison, shook his head and sighed: "If the person who wrote this formula is proficient in pharmacology, it is really very vicious, and the mixture of herbs and red orchid root can produce cold poison This point is really unknown to the general Langzhong, and my master also discovered it by accident, but Langzhong medicine rarely uses herbs, let alone red orchid roots." ”

Xiang Junran echoed: "What the old lady doctor said is very true, speaking of which, those incense masters in the incense workshop are really innocent, don't talk about me, even if my father got this incense recipe, it is estimated that he can't see the problem, he will only think about whether it is such a strange match that allows the balm to change a variety of fragrances, and the fragrance lasts for a long time." "He is humble, everyone knows that the attainments of making incense are not below Master Xiang, and it can even be said that it is even better.

Everyone in the hall and the people watching outside the hall (this case has too much impact, and the court instructed a public trial) were stunned, and whispered and discussed: I can't see it, the two aunts from maids are so powerful, even more powerful than the heads of the incense-making family!

"Bang-" Governor Lin knocked on the shocking wood, and reprimanded twice in a row, "Silence, silence!" The officials on both sides also responded in unison with well-trained voices, and the scene quieted down.

The Niu Sanzi and the embroidered aunt who were kneeling below were all pale and trembling uncontrollably, only Ruxia was always playing with a red rope in her hand with great interest, and occasionally shouted "Xiangxiang, Qixiang, mine, it's mine, hey, hey", and his crazy stupidity was revealed.

Marquis Qiu Yiran was there, there was a chair to sit on, and his face looked calm, but in fact, his hands and feet were weak, his back was wet with cold sweat, and more importantly, he was embarrassed. He was the youngest candidate in the dynasty, he should have been high-spirited, waiting for the opportunity to show his talents, and he became a blockbuster.

Looking at Pan Jiaming, who was younger than him sitting next to Governor Lin's mansion in the hall, Qiu Yiran was even more embarrassed and jealous, and the emperor's holy decree clearly emphasized: It happened that Pan Jiaming, the prince of the British princess, was in Los Angeles, so Pan Shizi would hear the trial on my behalf to show my attention to this case.

They are all children of the family, they are all heirs of the princes, except for a queen's aunt, where is he Qiu Yiran worse than the one who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to fight?

Governor Lin slapped the shocked wood again, and shouted angrily: "Niu's family, Li's family (Aunt Xiu's real surname is Li), this vicious butterfly Qixiang is from the hands of the two of you, you ...... Belch...... Li, can you give an explanation, what is the purpose of doing this, or is it instructed by anyone? If you invite it truthfully, you must not hide it. "The most poisonous woman's heart, these two women will do everything to earn money, no wonder the eldest niece of the Yin family will drive them out.

As soon as the words fell, Ruxia, who was still frightened by the startled wood and was lying on the ground whimpering, suddenly jumped up happily again: "Qixiang, mine, give silver, a lot of silver." ”

The little maid of the Ning family, who accompanied Ruxia, was so frightened that she hurriedly hugged her, and desperately pulled her to kneel down together: "Auntie, kneel down quickly, and I'll buy you osmanthus cake to eat later." ”

"Osmanthus cake, it's delicious! I'm kneeling, I'm kneeling, hey, hey, hey. Ruxia's head nodded like a chicken pecking rice, a pair of good-looking eyes smiled crookedly, and there was a ball of shiny liquid flowing down the corner of her mouth.

Everyone sighed, forgetting that she was the main culprit, and they just felt pitiful, so young and beautiful, this is the case for the rest of their lives? Fortunately, Old Lady Ning is a good person and is willing to raise her.

Aunt Xiu's eyes widened, and only now did she really believe that Ruxia was indeed crazy! She couldn't help but regret it a lot, if she hadn't instigated Qiu Yiran to promote the matter of sending Ruxia to Ning's mansion, wouldn't Ruxia be crazy? At this time, she wouldn't have to face the prefect's interrogation alone? Ruxia was the culprit of the so-called "imitation" of the bewitched butterfly Qixiang? She was just an accomplice at most! At this time, Aunt Xiu really wished that she was also crazy, as long as she didn't drool in public.

Niu San and his wife were also dumbfounded, beautiful and arrogant since childhood, Ruxia, who paid more attention to image than ordinary young ladies, actually drooled over a piece of osmanthus cake in front of everyone's eyes? What surprised them even more was that such a crazy and stupid daughter could still let Old Lady Ning threaten them with her son's family treasure and bear all the blame for Ruxia.

I have to say that Niu San and his wife, as well as Aunt Xiu, the most envious at the moment is Ruxia, who is crazy and ignorant of the world, and the most regretful thing is that Ruxia entered the Ning family.

"Li, why don't you answer the official's question?" Governor Lin was impatient, "Is there a place above the lobby where you pretend to be stupid and stunned? Why are you in a daze? Niu San, you recruit first! If you drag on one by one, the official will directly wait for the big punishment!"

Niu San, who was secretly remorseful, suddenly heard his name, and then heard the words of the great torture waiter, and was almost scared to pee, "Ombudsman" kowtowed: "Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives, the butterfly Qixiang is Jiaoyan Qixiang, it is not an imitation, it is the original recipe of Jiaoyan Qixiang, it is the secret recipe of my cousin and grandmother Liu's that my daughter Ruxia stole from Yin Zhiruo Yin's eldest girl, our family doesn't understand incense, where do we know that Jiaoyan Qixiang is poisonous!"

Niu San poured out all the words he thought about in the prison, so he didn't want to take the blame for the unlucky evil girl, right? However, he didn't dare to disobey the old lady Ning, Niu Jiabao was his lifeblood, and his only hope to be an old lady in his life!

When Niu San shouted, "Our family is all from slaves, where will we make any incense?", Ruxiu secretly said, "It's over!" The reason why she didn't answer in time just now was that she was shocked by Ruxia's saliva, and second, she was thinking about the words of Xiang Dashao and Old Doctor Xu. Unexpectedly, she finally figured out the "reason" that was beneficial to her and Ruxia, and when she was about to reply, Lord Lin turned impatiently to Niu San, and Niu San poured beans directly into the bamboo tube without thinking about it. During this period of time, Niu San and his wife and all the craftsmen of Zuixiangfang were accused by the government, how did they know what was happening outside, and how did they know that Yin Zhiruo had already guarded against them?

Sure enough, as soon as Niu San's words fell, Governor Lin snorted coldly: "What? When you made money, you desperately emphasized that it was copied by yourself, and now if there is a problem, you will say that it was stolen, and you want Miss Yin to take the blame for you? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if it is stolen, people are not at ease about the secret recipe, and they will let your daughter burn it, and your daughter will still bully the lord and steal the pillars and hide secretly, who is to blame?"

As soon as Miss Yin got the secret recipe, she let Niu Ruxia burn it, this is what the capital has sent to the Xu Mansion to confirm, and the girl Yin thinks she doesn't know anything about the incense recipe, and she doesn't want to covet other people's ancestral secret recipes, but you have the ambition to do something to bully the master, and now the disaster can be regarded as retribution, right?

Niu San was stunned, and was about to argue a few more words, but Governor Lin's side had already continued: "What's more, the real Jiaoyan Qixiang has no cold poison at all, you just take a house and say that it is a stolen Jiaoyan Qixiang recipe, do people want to believe it?" Old Doctor Xu, Master Xiang, please explain the results of your inspection to you again."

Young Master Xiang nodded, he is a junior, so he naturally has to be diligent, so if necessary, he asked the old lady Xu to add: "The delicate Yan Qixiang sent by the Yin family to help investigate the case, the old lady Xu and I have already checked it." I used our incense family's special fragrance testing method, although I can't determine the ratio of various ingredients in the balm, but it is still easy to determine that there is herbs and no red orchid root. At the same time, the old imperial physician Xu and the other three imperial physicians who came with him also tested the female prisoners in the prison who were preparing to be beheaded after the autumn, and the box of delicate seven incense was not cold poisonous. ”

There was an uproar inside and outside the hall: "Jiaoyan Qixiang is really not poisonous!", "Can't it be fake, can't it be fake." "That's it, it seems that they really secretly hid the secret recipe, and I'm afraid they also deliberately added the red orchid root that produces cold poison to it, it's too hateful!" "Miss Yin must have discovered the family's bad character early and drove them out of Meizhuang." ”......

Niu San and his wife were completely stunned, Yin Zhiruo handed over a box of Jiaoyan Qixiang to the prefect's yamen for inspection? Why? Where did it come from? No, it seems that before preparing to open the Drunken Xiangfang, they did hear Ruxia say that the Jiaoyan Qixiang Qianxin County Lord sent by the Liu family didn't want to use it and gave it to Yin Zhiruo, but Yin Zhiruo didn't like it either, so he kept throwing it in the corner of the makeup box until he gave it to Yin Zhiqing before coming to Los Angeles. Ruxia also complained, saying that Yin Zhiruo was stupid in the past, and even Yin Zhiqing's small means had repeatedly succeeded in front of her, why did she suddenly become smart when she came to Los Angeles.

Since it was given to Yin Zhiqing, how could Yin Zhiruo still have a delicate face and seven fragrances in his hand? Is it possible? Even if Yin Zhiruo has a face, the second room of the Yin family can't wait for Yin Zhiruo to be involved in the poisoned balm case, how can he give it? Besides, Yin Zhiqing is such a vain and stinky person, and the two boxes of balm have already run out by now, right?

Could it be that Yin Zhiruo had been hiding it a long time ago, or did he know that the Niu family intended to redeem and cultivate the Niu family's treasure in the future, so he concealed it from Ruxia everywhere? Those two boxes of balm were not given to Yin Zhiqing at all.

Niu San was desperate, the plan he had finally come up with was shattered in the blink of an eye? Are they destined to be held responsible? Will they be killed? Or will they be exiled?

Aunt Xiu was also at a loss, I don't know whether to be glad that she realized in time that "admitting to stealing the secret recipe" was useless, so she didn't make a fool of herself in public, or whether she should sigh that her luck was declining, and she obviously found a reason that was likely to reduce her guilt, but she was destroyed by Niu San. If we talk about it now, who will believe it again? I can't say that I will add one more degree to the crime of "repeatedly disturbing the public court." Didn't Governor Lin just now want to punish them with a heavy sentence because of "procrastination"?

What Aunt Xiu didn't know was that this time she and Qiu Yiran really had a heart.

Qiu Yiran was also choking at this time, and he couldn't wait to rush up and kick Niu Sanyi. Like Aunt Xiu, he thought of the best reason to reduce his guilt after the first time Master Xiang and Old Lady Xu said those words: since the first incense family did not know that the mixing of the two herbs would produce cold poison, and even many Langzhong did not know, how could Ruxiu, who was like Ruxia, who was so-called "tinkering by himself" and relying entirely on the ability to smell incense to help Ruxia tinker together? Therefore, although the seven spices of the butterfly had cold poison, Ruxia and Ruxiu were not intentional, and those who did not know were not guilty.

At the beginning of their store, they explained early that the two of them just liked it, so they "imitated", knowing that the seven incense of the butterfly was the incense made by the two people of Ruxia, who were half-monks, and the people who bought and used it were also careless? For example, they Qingyuan Houfu themselves, there were not a few female relatives who were poisoned by the cold because of this, and Mrs. Tai's favorite granddaughter and the only concubine of the Hou Mansion were the most severe in the cold.

Qiu Yiran is very sure that playing this card will not only reduce the guilt of Xia and Aunt Xiu, but also make their Hou Mansion less affected by this incident, and can also get some sympathy points.

It's a pity that God didn't want to help him, and when Niu San kowtowed and begged for mercy, he secretly sighed.

"No, no," Niu San's daughter-in-law suddenly shouted frantically, "Our family Ruxia has been waiting for Yin Zhiruo since she was a child, how can she not know if Ruxia can make incense? Yin Zhiruo must have known that there was a problem with that recipe, so he let Ruxia burn it, didn't he? Knowing that Ruxia couldn't make incense, knowing that there was a problem with the secret recipe, she didn't say anything and didn't stand up to stop it when the incense was made and sold, she was the one who had a vicious heart and was the real culprit." ”

Qiu Yiran and Aunt Xiu's eyes lit up: I can't see it, at a critical time, Niu San's daughter-in-law is still smarter than Niu San, this reason is true, it is really possible to involve Yin Zhiruo.

Qiu Yiran's head turned quickly, and he hurriedly put on a guilty look: "It's all to blame Ben Hou, if it weren't for our Hou Mansion offending Miss Yin, she wouldn't have watched the cold poisonous Butterfly Qixiang go on the market." Furthermore, Ben Hou didn't investigate carefully, and heard that his grandmother said that Niu Ruxia and Aunt Xiu imitated it herself, so she believed it. If Ben Hou knew the cause and effect, he would at least be suspicious, and would have reminded his grandmother to ask a famous doctor to verify before making incense for sale, and it would not have caused the current situation and harmed so many innocent people, including my most beloved sister-in-law. ”

Because Meizhuang provided delicate seven fragrances, he was also invited to observe in the hall. At this time, Uncle Qiang, who was sitting next to him, was almost angry, how could there be such a shameless family? When did the eldest girl and the Yin family treat them badly? Knowing that they could not get rid of their crimes now, they still viciously wanted to blame the girl and involve the girl, it was like a wolf's heart!

"Hahahaha" There was a burst of laughter in the hall "out of place". R1152
