Chapter 533: Official reinstatement
After a long time, Liu Jinfeng looked depressed and said indignantly: "General Ben is careless for a while, let the thieves take advantage of it, and General Ben will return to Beijing to accept the guilt." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 But General Ben definitely did not collude with the thieves, let alone guard himself. ”
Lin Wan couldn't help but secretly laugh when he heard that Liu Jinfeng dared to call himself "General Ben", to this day, he was still counting on going back to Beijing to find Liu Qingyuan and Zhou Tianming to save him, but who knew that Liu Qingyuan and Zhou Tianming at this moment were already unable to protect themselves.
Wu Cheng nodded lightly, clenched his fists and arched his hand towards the northeast, and said, "This official will find out this matter and ask the emperor to decide." Then, with a shocking shock, he announced: "In view of the fact that there is no evidence pointing to General Ouyang, and General Ouyang's explanation is also reasonable, this official pronounces the verdict, Ouyang Yufei is acquitted, and the official is reinstated." ”
Ouyang Yufei was overjoyed, immediately knelt down, bowed to Wu Chengyi, and said, "Thank you, Lord Wu, you will be innocent." The last general is grateful, and he will be loyal to the country in this life, and do his best!"
Wu Cheng smiled and nodded, and said kindly: "General Ouyang has suffered, General Ouyang please." General Ouyang will be invited to sit on the sidelines, and you may be required to testify later. ”
Ouyang Yufei clenched her fists, got up and respectfully retreated to the side, and stood quietly beside Xing Han and Lin Wan.
Lin Wan was also very happy for Ouyang Yufei in her heart, in fact, what would happen next, Lin Wan didn't care anymore.
Zhou Tianhong, Zhou Tianzheng, Liu Jinfeng, and Wu Cheng, the four of them have their own thoughts and purposes, Lin Wan doesn't want to guess, and she doesn't want to care, she only knows that the military salary and military food have been received, and Ouyang Yufei has also been cleared of charges. Next, how these people will fight, how dog-eat-dog, black eats black, it has nothing to do with her.
However, things in the world always backfire, and the more Lin Wan didn't want to care about it and didn't want to express her opinions, the more people were unwilling to let her go.
Wu Cheng looked at Lin Wan, his eyes seemed to contain deep meaning, and asked, "Second Master Wan, I heard that when you rescued General Ouyang, you once said that the poison in General Ouyang came from South Vietnam, I don't know if it's true?"
Lin Wan sighed in his heart, slowly walked to the hall, bowed, and said: "If you return to your lordship, the poison in General Ouyang is indeed from South Vietnam, although the grass people are not skilled in medicine and do not have extensive knowledge, but this matter can be certain. ”
Wu Cheng nodded, looked at the three witnesses in the hall, and said, "Escort Wang Gang and Ma Xiaosheng down, and wait for the fate." ”
Immediately, a servant stepped forward and escorted Wang Gang and Ma Xiaosheng away. And the middle-aged woman behind them, seeing that they were both with them, became even more uneasy in her heart, her face was pale, and her eyes were full of fear.
Wu Cheng's sharp gaze swept to the middle-aged woman and asked, "Hu Shi, you said that after Mrs. Xiong left, you picked up a bottle of poison in the kitchen, but this bottle?"
Hu Shi glanced up, nodded in a panic, and replied, "If you go back to your lordship, it is this green bottle that the woman picked up." ”
Wu Cheng picked up the green porcelain bottle, uncovered the cap, glanced at it, closed it again, looked at Lin Wan, and said, "Wan Er Gongzi, please come and take a look, is this bottle the poison you said came from the Nanyue Kingdom?"
Lin Wan secretly complained in her heart, if she wanted to tell what kind of poison this was and where it came from, she really couldn't tell the nonsense. But at this moment, she can't back down no matter what. I had no choice but to walk up to the front and take the porcelain vase in Wu Cheng's hand with both hands.
Zhou Tianhong looked at Lin Wan with interest, and said with a faint smile: "Second Prince Wan, this prince is also very curious, how do you prove that these poisons are the poisons that poisoned General Ouyang, and how can you prove that it comes from the Nanyue Kingdom?"
Lin Wan didn't answer, but opened the cap of the bottle and looked into the bottle. I saw a little black powder at the bottom of the bottle, and I couldn't tell what it was at all.
However, Lin Wan's heart suddenly relaxed, because she already knew that these powders were definitely not the bottle left by Mrs. Xiong. Because Mrs. Xiong said that she only poured less than half of it, so there will definitely not be such a small amount left.
Lin Wan smiled faintly, stuffed the cap back of the bottle, then returned the porcelain bottle to Wu Cheng with both hands, shook his head, and said, "Lord Qiyu, the medicinal powder in this porcelain bottle is not the poison that General Ouyang had in the beginning. ”
Wu Cheng frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Wan Er Gongzi, why are you so sure?"
Lin Wan said unhurriedly: "Lord Qiyu, the medicinal powder in this porcelain bottle is just an ordinary poison, and it is very different from the poison in General Ouyang. An adult can ask someone to get a live bird, and the grass people can prove it to the adult. ”
Wu Cheng nodded, waved his hand, and asked a servant to do it immediately.
The hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Wan's body, but Lin Wan just stood respectfully under the hall, neither humble nor arrogant, confident.
In a few moments, the servant had already walked back, holding a live chicken in his hand.
Lin Wan took a piece of paper from the table, then walked to the servant's side, pulled out the cap of the porcelain bottle, poured some powder on the paper, and brought it to the chicken, then smiled, and said in a seductive voice to the chicken: "Baby chicken, you can eat it with confidence, poison will not kill you, I promise." ”
Everyone in the hall couldn't help but laugh when they heard Lin Wan talking to the same chicken. And Ouyang Yufei, Xing Han and Zhou Tianzheng couldn't help but chuckle.
The chicken looked around for a while, and finally really listened to Lin Wan's words and pecked at the poison on the paper.
Lin Wan smiled happily and continued to coax: "Eat some more, finish eating." As he spoke, he gathered together the powders that had been pecked by the chickens with his hands and approached the chicken's mouth.
After a while, the chicken had eaten all the powder on the paper, but the chicken was still unharmed.
Lin Wan took two steps back and said to the officer, "Please put this chicken on the ground." ”
The official was stunned, but he still did as Lin Wan said, and gently put the chicken on the ground. Keep an undivided eye on the chicken, ready to catch it again. lest it run around in the court, disturb the nobles, and destroy the solemnity of the court.
The chicken, on the other hand, swayed to and fro in the temple, as if drunk.
Lin stood aside as if nothing had happened, quietly looking at the chicken with a faint smile on his face.
Everyone's eyes followed the chicken back and forth in the hall, waiting for it to fall, waiting for Lin Wan to give everyone a reasonable explanation.
After about a cup of tea, the chicken still did not fall, but became more and more alive. It is as if a drunk person has gradually sobered up.
In the court, some people were secretly anxious in their hearts, and some people were secretly relieved.
But only Hu Shi looked at the chicken with wide eyes, and muttered in disbelief: "Impossible, impossible, how can this chicken be safe and sound?"
