Chapter 981
Today's county master, but it really reached the point of doing it himself, having enough food and clothing, and on this day, the two people who had suffered a hard life finally got together, and the expression that the county lord had endured suddenly became sad, and he looked at Chi Bi with a crooked mouth and said, "I said Miss Chi Bi, but I haven't seen anyone who works harder than us! What kind of freedom do you say we have in the yamen? This is not ......."
The county lord clearly wanted to complain again, but Chi Bi was afraid that the county lord would say something wrong, so he quickly covered the county lord's mouth tightly, and said fearfully, "Oh my God, Lord Li, now that so many people are watching, you should speak with some measure, besides, isn't His Royal Highness the prince also to protect us, we should thank the prince!" Although these words are said very against his will, but now in such a situation where he is difficult to protect, he can only say this, and the county lord listened to Chi Bi say this, he just pouted, but he didn't say anything, thinking about it, it was also because he was a little scared in his heart, and Chi Bi looked at the county lord like this, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, just for him, he also pinched a cold sweat, if these words were heard by the prince, the county lord still doesn't know how he died!
It's just that now when Chi Bi was still rejoicing, she suddenly heard at this time that it was Rong Chen who appeared in the yamen, Chi Bi was shocked, how could she not think of why Rong Chen appeared in the yamen at this time, isn't this looking for death! could only hurriedly run towards the court, and she naturally didn't expect that it was not only Rong Chen. Together with Mu Ran and Wang Ye, they all appeared in the court, what is going on?! Chi Bi couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw it, but he saw Xiao Lei smiling darkly, slowly appearing in front of his eyes, and looking at him smiling so gloomy, it was obviously nothing good. When Ji Bi thought of this, he only felt that his new head was trembling, but his eyes were staring at the severe pain without blinking. Rong Chen, kneeling above the court.
In response to the order of the prince Xiao Lei, at this time, the county master should have sat in his original position, although now there is no master. The county master seemed to be a little at a loss. However, after glancing at the prince's face, he still swallowed his saliva, and only said boldly, "Bold Rongchen, who committed such a heinous crime, and even absconded from the cell, what kind of crime should he be guilty of!"
But Rong Chen still had a silent face and opened his mouth. It's just that the wounds on his body were affected by his words, and he was weak at the moment. Even if it was extremely difficult to speak out, but he still held on, and said word by word, even if his voice was unusually hoarse, "Hui Yu, Rong Chen has something to say, Lord, Caomin...... Combine...... Not to abscond, but to ...... In order to find witnesses and prove the innocence of the grass people!"
The county magistrate listened to what Rong Chen said, and his heart was happy, but he saw that Xiao Lei was still gloomy and gloomy face, and that smile finally faded, coughed lightly a few times, and only summoned witnesses, it turned out to be a guy from a famous pharmacy in Yuecheng, and at this time, when he saw that there were two famous big names standing in this public court, the prince and Ning Wangye, his legs were weak, and he was already busy kneeling down, and knocked his head several times.
"Okay, you don't have to kowtow, let's talk about what happened!" Xiao Lei looked at this guy like this, and only said impatiently,
The little guy trembled, but he didn't know how to speak.
At this time, Mu Ran still said, "Brother Jin, how long have you been on duty at the pharmacy in Yuecheng?"
"It's been three years since I went back to the girl. "Being asked like this, then Brother Jin calmed down a little, and replied respectfully, to say that this Brother Jin is honest and does his duty on weekdays, and never lies, so Yucheng is deeply trusted by the people, I heard that Rong Chen returned to the yamen, and the people have already gathered around, one by one, pointing and scolding Rong Chen, where is the smile of a person like Jin Ge'er, the originally noisy and chaotic crowd suddenly quieted down, just waiting for this Jin Ge'er to speak.
"What is Brother Jin'er's memory?" Mu Ran asked again, his tone flat.
And when it comes to memory, Jin Ge'er is extremely proud, tilting his head, and even more proudly, "Needless to say, like us who catch medicine, we have to remember thousands of medicinal materials, and we have long developed the ability to remember, and among the guys in the major pharmacies in Yuecheng, if my Jin Ge'er is called second, but no one dares to call it first!"
Mu Ran looked at Jin Ge'er like this, smiled lightly, and didn't say much, just said, "Jin Ge'er does recognize the Red Lotus girl who died in vain not long ago?" That Red Lotus girl, who was born beautifully and often walks around in Yuecheng, is naturally known to many people, but this Jin Ge'er didn't know why when he heard Mu Ran say this, he just nodded his head.
"So Brother Jin remembers the night that Miss Red Lotus died, but she came to the pharmacy to buy medicine?" Mu Ran continued to ask.
That Jin Ge'er thought about it for a while, suddenly patted his head, and just said, "Naturally, I remember, it was very late that night, but I don't know how this red lotus girl was the last to come to the pharmacy, it seems that she has a cold, and the burn is not light!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone held their breath, not understanding what this matter had to do with the death of the red lotus.
It's just that in this way, Mu Ran's smile is getting deeper.
"The time of the Red Lotus Girl's death was after Rong Gongzi came out of King Ning's Mansion, so it was determined that Rong Gongzi was the one who murdered the Red Lotus Girl, but if the Red Lotus Girl had a fever before she died, I'm afraid things would not be so simple. When Mu Ran said this, a pair of clear and bright eyes met the puzzled look of the county master.
Sure enough, the county magistrate didn't understand what Mu Ran said. Not only the county lord, but most people don't know what Mu Ran is saying this for, therefore. The county magistrate just asked without thinking at this time, "What does Miss Mu Ran mean by this, the official is ignorant, and he doesn't understand it very well!"
It's just that Mu Ran just nodded lightly at this time. Only then did he continue, "Master Li is a good question, if you want to know when a person died. It is only necessary to measure the temperature of his liver, and if anyone present has any doubts about this, he can ask the other gentlemen in the city. When Mu Ran said this, he was stunned. But looking at the people present, they were all convinced. Only then did he settle down and continue to say calmly, "It's just like the Red Lotus girl had a fever, and when she died, the liver temperature was already much higher than the normal temperature, and the measured time of death was also delayed by at least two hours, and the time of death of the Red Lotus girl that was inferred before was two hours later." It is enough to see that Gongzi Rong was still in King Ning's Mansion at that time, and there was Prince Ning who could testify. If that's the case, just because he appeared next to the deceased the next morning can't say anything, on the contrary, if Rong Gongzi is really a murderer, naturally he is not stupid enough to stay by the side of the Red Lotus girl until he is discovered, thinking about it, it must be Rong Gongzi who was framed, it will be like this!"
Mu Ran's expression has been extremely calm when he said these words, and whether it was the people present or the people who were watching, listening to what Mu Ran said, they all nodded their heads, obviously believing Mu Ran's words, and Mu Ran looked around, only then calmed down a little, calmed down, and smiled lightly, but when her eyes fell on the body of the prince Xiao Lei, who was sitting motionless, what she saw was only a gloomy face, even so, Mu Ran was not flustered, she didn't care what the prince's conspiracy was, her words were seamless, in short, as long as Rong Chen got innocent, other things, Naturally it has nothing to do with her, as soon as she thought of this, Mu Ran didn't dodge, but dared to meet the prince's eyes, and the prince looked at Mu Ran like this, but he just hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, such a gloomy face, coupled with such a strange smile, no matter who looked at it, I am afraid it would be chilling, and Mu Ran was naturally no exception, her heart trembled, but she quickly turned her eyes.
And Master Li listened to what Mu Ran said, a flustered heart finally calmed down, and his face that had been aggrieved for a long time finally showed a few joyful expressions, especially when Rong Chen cleared his suspicion, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the shocking wood in his hand slapped again, that is, he said, "In this case, since everything is a misunderstanding, Rong Chen Rong Gongzi is not guilty......"
It's just that the county master's words haven't been finished yet, Xiao Lei naturally won't watch this matter end like this, and he doesn't know what he is thinking in his eyes, but looking at Mu Ran's eyes, there is a slight expression of gritted teeth, especially after helping Rong Chen get rid of his crimes, he suddenly said in a deep voice, " Just based on this one-sided words of Brother Jin, how can it be proved that the Red Lotus girl was infected with the wind and cold before, this matter is very important, please think twice, otherwise it will not be beneficial to anyone to take people's lives!" Xiao Lei said this sentence word by word, and fell into the ears of the county master, it was clearly a merciless warning, a pair of legs were so straight to tremble, the county master didn't know what was good for a while, he could only lower his head, and he didn't dare to look at the prince, but his eyes for help fell on Mu Ran's body, although his face was silent, but his eyes were full of help for help.
It's just that Mu Ran is still calm, and she doesn't seem to be afraid of the prince beside her, even when facing such a dark-eyed prince, she only smiled lightly and didn't say anything, but when Brother Jin heard the prince's words, he suddenly knelt down in front of the prince, kowtowed a few times, and said in a trembling voice, "Prince Mingjian, the villain wants to be honest, whether it is the boss or the shopkeeper, you can testify for the villain, but the villain has never told a lie!"
As soon as Brother Jin said this, the surroundings seemed to be noisy again, but if you listen carefully, one by one is helping Brother Jin to speak, Yuecheng is not big, if there is any wind and grass, I am afraid that a city already knows, Brother Jin is honest, it is a well-known thing in Yuecheng, and now although the prince suspects him, but all of them are gossiping, obviously not believing that Brother Jin will lie, not to mention, since Rong Chen was wronged last time, the people suddenly felt that if Rong Chen was unlucky, it was impossible to be wronged this timeใ
"If the prince is really suspicious, just like Mu Ran said before, the doctor in Yuecheng is not Mu Ran alone, and there are many people who are smart at autopsy, and now the body of the red lotus girl is in the freezer and has not yet been hidden. Mu Ran still said these words in a flat tone, and looked at Xiao Lei with a smile after finishing speaking, but Xiao Lei's face was still gloomy, and he didn't say anything, just snorted coldly and walked away.
"That being the case. When the county prince saw that the prince had left, he breathed a sigh of relief, coughed lightly, and only said in a deep voice, "Since Prince Rong Chen is innocent, he will be acquitted!"
"Wait a minute!" Who knew that Mu Ran looked at the back of the prince who left indifferently, but suddenly said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, Lord Li, Rong Chen is innocent, but he was tortured, should he give him an explanation for this matter?" Now that Rong Chen's innocence has been proven, maybe it's time to get justice for Rong Chen, Mu Ran said this expressionlessly, listening to the sound of gasping around him, there were already many onlookers who were afraid of causing some trouble, and they had already left, and the prince's footsteps paused, and when he slowly turned around, the expression on his face was not smiling, "This matter should be asked to the prince and Lord Li, the detention of Rong Gongzi has nothing to do with this king!"
