Chapter 13: Wronged

He Jin and the others surrounded him, and Song Ci inspected all parts of the corpse one by one in front of them, and then said: "He Zhixian, you said that Zhao Wunai was beaten to death and fainted, and then he was poured arsenic, but Song found no wounds from him, how can this be explained?"

He Jin said: "It is possible that the wound is in a hidden part, such as the soles of the feet, has Song Tixing checked the soles of the feet?"

Song Ci said: "The soles of the feet are no better than other positions, even if they are all cut with one knife, it can't kill them."

He Jin was silent, in front of the iron-clad evidence, he couldn't refute it, he could only choose to be silent, and the officials covered the coffin with soil, and then everyone returned to the yamen.

"Song Ci, Song Ci, this official admits that the Qin family is wronged, but there must be a murderer in this case!"

"This question, He Zhixian asked a good question, but there was no murderer in this case, and Zhao Wu's death was all due to his personal carelessness. ,”

He Jin exclaimed: "No murderer? Song Ci, could it be that this Zhao Wu can still kill himself? Do you think that's possible?"

Inside the yamen, everyone looked over, hoping to find the answer from Song Ci. Song Cidao; "There is indeed no murderer in this case, He Zhixian, if you are willing, Song is willing to tell you about it."

"This is very good, this official wants to see what kind of statement you Song Ci want to come up with.

After walking a few steps in the hall, Song Ci opened his mouth: "On the day of the crime, the prisoner Qin Xiaoyue came to the usual dish from home with the vegetables to be sold today, but today's business is very good, and when it is almost noon, it has been sold out, Qin Xiaoyue, you can testify to this official!"

Qin Xiaoyue said: "Yes, my lord, that day was indeed like this."

Song Ci then continued: "Qin Xiaoyue counted today's harvest, plus the morning brought, there are a total of thirty copper plates, you can also testify!"

"Yes, my lord, there are no more or no less on the folk girl, only thirty copper plates."

"But at this moment, the deceased Zhao Wu came over, and the two of them had business dealings, so naturally there was no problem to say hello, right?"

In the next conversation, Song guessed that it was nothing more than that Zhao Wujia's vegetables were good, and it was time to harvest them again, so he proposed to invite Qin Xiaoyue to take a look, anyway, that's what it meant.

He Jin didn't say a word, he felt that it was most appropriate to be silent now, and he was worried that he would miss his mouth. "Zhao Wu and Qin Xiaoyue were about to go to the vegetable field at that time, and the two passed by the door of Widow Wang's shop, as for the next words, Widow Wang has actually said it, right?"

The widow said, "Yes, yes, my lord, at that time, the old man asked them what they were doing, and it just so happened that I couldn't move a box of fruit here, so I asked them to help, and then gave them a few bananas to eat."

Song Ci said: "What else? Song remembers what else you said, right?

Widow Wang thought for a while, "The old man remembered, at that time I said that the two of them were very husband and wife, and said that maybe they could come together in the future." ”

Song Ci said: "He Zhixian, now it's the most critical time, are you still willing to listen?"

He grimaced, "If you want to say it, you can say it, this official has ears, but he can't cover it, and he can't block your mouth."

Song Ci smiled, "By the way, Widow Wang, do you remember what Qin Xiaoyue took at that time?" Arsenic or something, like that?"

"This.... No, absolutely not, they came empty-handed, so they didn't take it at all, and arsenic is highly poisonous, if any of them carry it, how dare the old man let them help carry the fruit!"

Song Ci nodded, and then said, "Zhao Wu took Qin Xiaoyue and quickly entered the house, it was garbage all over the ground, by the way, who else in the pharmacy outside dared to testify to Song that Zhao Wu had bought arsenic?"

An old man touched his buttocks and walked over, "My lord, old man, I can testify, as early as half a month ago, the deceased Zhao Wu had bought a large amount of arsenic in the old man's shop, and the old man asked him at that time, what he bought these for, and he said poisonous rats." ”

He Zhixian had a question, "Presumptuous, the public court is open-mouthed, have you ever known Zhao Wuke?"

The old man said: "I know, my lord, the old man bought his vegetables before, but who knows that he was poisoned by arsenic."

He Jin had nothing to say.

Song Ci said: "Then do you know that he used to buy such a large amount of arsenic?" Is it for growing vegetables, or is it for insect repellent?"

"At that time, the old man asked him, and he said that it was used to drive away rats around the house, and I didn't think much about it, old man, after all, how can you not do business if you have it? Are you right?"

Everyone was silent, and Song Ci said: "He Zhixian, as for the next, Song Mou is also talking about it, after Zhao Wu and Qin Xiaoyue came to the house, it was already noon, and it was the hottest time of the day, I think after walking for so long, dry mouth should not be a problem!"

It just so happened that Zhao Wu had bought arsenic, and it was also used for vegetable insect control, but this Zhao Wu was also confused, and the arsenic he had put in the bowl for fertilization not long ago had not had time to use up, and then drank it in one gulp.

"As for what happened next, I think Qin Xiaoyue should know, and at the same time, you will also testify for Song, right!"

"Yes, Lord Song, this was the case at that time, Zhao Wu wanted to ask the people and girls to drink some cold water together, but unfortunately, he just drank it, and he already lost his life."

Song Ci said: "As for the next scene, He Zhixian naturally knows, after Qin Xiaoyue came to report to the official, you just checked the case casually, and asked through Widow Wang, and then convicted Qin Xiaoyue, didn't you?"

He Jin was extremely embarrassed to be said, and now that the evidence is conclusive, he can't explain it. He said unwillingly: "The criminal girl Qin, according to the investigation, is not guilty, there is no motive or suspicion of murder, and she is now acquitted!"

Qin Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly knelt in front of Song Ci to thank her, Song Ci helped her up, "Miss Qin, I can't blame you for this kind of thing, I can only say that you are unlucky, or this Zhao Wu is confused, this case is over, and you are free now." ”

"Thank you, Lord Song, the folk girl is grateful.

The old woman was also a happy mess, and suddenly her head was tilted, her body fell vertically, and she fell into the yamen.

This scene startled everyone, and they hurriedly gathered together, Qin Xiaoyue exclaimed, "Mother, mother, what's wrong with you?" You can't scare me, mother?"

"Miss Qin's mourning, your mother has returned!"

Qin Xiaoyue cried, she knew where all this started, if it weren't for her, how could her mother be like this?

He Jin knew that he was in trouble, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran over, "Book history, where is the book history?" Go and pass the doctor!"

Song Ci said: "There are doctors outside, you can let them come in and try!"

He Jin really shouted, and all the shopkeepers of these pharmacies ran in, but when they checked it, they all shook their heads and sighed, the old woman had returned.

Qin Xiaoyue cried and said, "Lord Song, this dog official has wronged me, I want to bring him to justice, I hope your lord will not let him go!"

Song Ci said: "This official guarantees this, he will definitely take off his black gauze hat and take off his official uniform."

"The history of books, where is the history of books?" He Jin was still shouting.

"Book history? Since He Zhixian is still looking for book history, then Wencheng Wenwu, you can bring this person!"

"It's my lord!"
