"Bi Zhou, what else do you have to say?" Li Sanjian asked Xiang Zhou.

The autopsy result was that he was killed, and it had been known that he had been poisoned with a poison called Tripterygium wilfordii.

Zhou's face was as earth-colored, and he couldn't speak at all when he spread it on the ground.

"Li Tuiguan, where does the poison come from? Non-poisonous substances are not criminalized. Sun Deqin, the official of the left hall of the Kaifeng Mansion, asked.

But in this kind of poisoning case, the poison must be found, that is, there must be physical evidence before the conviction can be made.

Therefore, at this time, Sun Deqin's words were reminding Li Sanjian.

"That's what Sun Tuiguan said." Li Sanjian nodded and said, "Of course the official found the poison, come and bring the pharmacy shopkeeper." ”

In fact, Li Sanjian was not very clear about these at first, but Li Sanjian's subordinates, there are many experienced cases in the right hall of the government, such as Wu Miaoshan and others, and at the same time, Li Sanjian asked if he didn't understand, and learned if he didn't understand.

is not ashamed to ask, and gradually understands some of the tricks of handling cases.

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy was a middle-aged man in his forties, surnamed Wu, slightly fat, with a wisp of goatee hanging on his chin.

"Who's in the hall?" Li Sanjian asked as usual.

"The villain is the counter manager of the Rifle Pharmacy, Wu Qing." Shopkeeper Wu replied.

"This time last year, did anyone buy Tripterygium wilfordii?" Li Sanjian nodded and asked.

Tripterygium wilfordii is a kind of poison, but also a kind of medicinal material, has the effect of insecticide, anti-inflammatory, detoxification, this kind of thing needs to be used carefully in small doses, otherwise there will be symptoms such as numbness of the limbs, so as to poison and die.

The Song Dynasty was extremely strict in the management of poisons that could be used as medicinal materials, and the sale of these poisons generally required strict approval and must be registered, such as turtle, oleander, natural pi cream, aconite, etc.

Gongsun Rouniang and others found out that Bi Chong died of Lei Gongteng poisoning.

"Yes, someone bought it at this time in the second year of Yuanfu." Shopkeeper Wu replied.

"Who?" Li Sanjian asked again.

"That's the lady." Shopkeeper Wu pointed to the Zhou family in the hall and said.

"It's been more than a year, why do you remember it so clearly?" Sun Deqin asked.

"This... Villain... Villain... "Wu's shopkeeper is fragmented, and it seems that there is something unspeakable.

"Just say, I forgive you." Li Sanjian said gently.

"Thank you, sir!" Hearing this, the shopkeeper Wu replied: "The villain was at that time... At that time, I saw that this lady had a bit of a posture, so ... So he teased her a few words, at the time... At that time, she was scolded a few times, so the little one was more impressed by her. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but laugh, and molesting a woman would also be punished, but it was nothing compared to this case.

Of course, Li Sanjian and others did not find the shopkeeper Wu at the beginning, but after a lot of investigation, they found Laifu Pharmacy, and the pharmacy within a radius of thirty miles of Kaifeng Mansion was almost searched by Li Sanjian and others.

"What name did she buy it at the time?" Li Sanjian asked.

"It's Bi Tong." Shopkeeper Wu replied.

"Ahh The Tong clan in the hall suddenly let out an exclamation when he heard this, and then he understood, and glared at the Zhou clan fiercely.

"I... I... Zhou's face was as white as earth, and he collapsed in the hall.

"Adultery with cousins, murder of her husband's life, such a poisonous woman, rare in the world." After Li Sanjian angrily reprimanded Zhou, he turned his head to Lu Changheng and said: "Fuzun, this case has been clear, Zhou Fanggeng, a government official, hooked up with his cousin Zhou, and in order to rob the Bi brothers' family wealth, they poisoned Bi Chong with Lei Gong Teng, and then Bi Lin wanted to find out the real cause of his brother Bi Chong's death, but was framed by Zhou Fanggeng and others, and then killed people, his methods were outrageous, and his behavior was hateful. Zhou Fanggeng, as the person in charge of the government punishment, knows the law and violates the law, and treats the king's law as nothing, which is really heart-wrenching. ”

"Haha, Li Tuiguan." Lu Changheng nodded and before he could speak, Zhou Fanggeng suddenly smiled and said, "Why don't you ask Bi Chong about the real cause of death?" ”

"Zhou Fanggeng, Hugh is talking nonsense!" Lu Changheng slapped the shocked wood and shouted: "Trying to make money killed the Bi brothers, this is the real cause of death of the Bi brothers." If you are still obsessed, then this government will not be able to help you. ”

This is a tacit thing for everyone, Lu Changheng understands, Zhou Fanggeng understands, and Li Sanjian also understands.

Lu Changheng and Li Sanjian don't want to continue to investigate, it is not good for anyone to continue to investigate, and the same is true for Zhou Fanggeng.

"Oh? Does Zhou Daguan still have something to say? Li Sanjian sneered.

Li Sanjian heard that Zhou Fanggeng had something to say, so he asked.

"This is really not the place to speak, how about the old man report to you in detail?" Zhou Fanggeng said lightly when he heard this.

"Come on, take it down..." Lu Changheng waved his hand.

"Fuzun, the lower official wants to hear what else he wants to say, please make it convenient for Fuzun." Li Sanjian said to Lu Changheng when he heard this.

。。。。。。。。

"Li Tuiguan is still too young and doesn't know much about some things, or Li Tuiguan hasn't been exposed to some things." In the inner hall of the Kaifeng Mansion, there were only Li Sanjian and Zhou Fanggeng at this time, and Zhou Fanggeng said to Li Sanjian: "Li Tuiguan really knows the Kaifeng Mansion and the Imperial Court?" ”

"It's just some chickens and dogs, and the official doesn't bother to understand it." Li Sanjian snorted coldly.

"Haha" Zhou Fanggeng laughed again: "When Zhou Mou only entered the government more than 20 years ago, he was the same as Li Tuiguan, and he also wanted to do a great career, and he also wanted to move to the court official, and then he was crowned with his wife and son, and left his name in history, but after so many years, Zhou only understood one truth, that is, thousands of miles for officials are only for wealth, and ten years of officials are trying to do business." ”

Zhou Fanggeng paused for a moment and then said: "People die for money, birds die for food, there are too many people like Zhou Mou, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and there are too few upright people like you, almost nothing, the current situation in the imperial court, just by relying on you Li Tuiguan, you can carry the banner of the Great Song Dynasty Wangfa?" Do you want to sweep Liuhe and clarify the world? This is tantamount to a fool's dream. ”

"Li is just not used to seeing the evil in the world, the filthy officialdom, and the injustice of the world, and he can't talk about sweeping Liuhe and clarifying the world." Li Sanjian glared at Zhou Fanggeng and said.

"Hahahaha!" Zhou Fanggeng laughed again when he heard this, and his tears were about to come out: "Can't you get used to seeing the evil in the world, the filthy officialdom, and the injustice in the world? Li Tuiguan, Zhou said that you are young, and said that you don't understand human feelings, don't believe it, if everyone in my Great Song Dynasty officialdom is like you, if everyone does things in a straightforward way, and they are all more serious with others, wouldn't it make everyone in my Great Song Dynasty officials endanger themselves? If everyone doesn't want to be an official, and everyone doesn't dare to be an official, what do you want Your Majesty to do? Isn't there no one to use there, Your Majesty? ”

Zhou Fanggeng then looked at Li Sanjian and said with a smile: "Isn't Li Tuiguan the king law and the king law that keeps talking?" Today, Zhou will tell you what is the king's law? The royal law is the royal law of the Great Song Dynasty, it is the family law of His Majesty, Li Tuiguan you are the champion and the first, you should understand what the family law is, right? ”

"Zhou Fanggeng!" Li Sanjian said angrily: "What a set of fallacies for officials! Li sees that you are also full of economy, why don't you use it on the right path? Where is propriety, righteousness, honesty, filial piety, and faithfulness? Such a shameless person is really rare in the world, and no matter what you say today, you will not escape the law. ”

The reason why Li Sanjian is so angry is that what Zhou Fanggeng said is very reasonable.

Will everyone be at risk? Now everyone in the Kaifeng Mansion is already in danger, not long ago

"Hehe" Zhou Fanggeng smiled when he heard this: "You can't say it so absolutely, right?" Sage cloud, people are not sages, who can be without fault? People make mistakes, and who in the world is not at fault? Including you, Li Tuiguan. The saint is also a cloud, the law does not blame the public, and the affairs of officialdom are like this, so what can be done? Do you all have to receive the king's law? But at this time, you have to put on a face that is even more saint than a saint, and if you catch some of Li's mistakes, you will be put to death? ”

"Li Tuiguan!" Zhou Fanggeng then said loudly to Li Sanjian: "You and I are both understanding people, what kind of person Zhou is, you know better than anyone else, you cure my crimes, that is, to govern the people behind the old man, to govern the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, to govern the court, and to govern His Majesty, so the old man advised Li Tuiguan, when thinking twice, Zhou was by no means intimidating Li Tuiguan at this time, but sincerely thinking about Li Tuiguan. ”

"For the sake of the officer? Exempt. Li Sanjian sneered when he heard this: "If you say that the sky is broken today, you will not be able to escape the punishment of my Great Song Dynasty." ”

In fact, when Li Sanjian said this, he had no confidence in his heart, since he had no confidence, then Li Sanjian's tone at this time was not very resolute, the reason was that what Zhou Fanggeng said was very reasonable, and he got to the point.

Li Sanjian knew in his heart that at present, he really had no way to take the people behind Zhou Fanggeng.

Knowing this, Li Sanjian had no choice, and Li Sanjian was extremely painful in his heart at this time.

"Zhou can't say it so absolutely." Zhou Fanggeng said with a smile: "Zhou has been in the Kaifeng Mansion for more than 20 years, and he still has a skill. ”

"What are you capable of?" Li Sanjian snorted coldly.

"Zhou can pinch and calculate, and before today, the court will have a will to deliver it to the government." Zhou Fanggeng replied.

"Oh? Is it? Li Sanjian muttered to himself in disbelief.

After half a ring, sure enough, some chamberlains and some officials from Dali Temple came to the palace, and walked directly to the inner hall of Kaifeng Mansion.

An attendant held the hand of Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty and said: "There is a will, the case is serious, and the Kaifeng Mansion will hand over Zhou Fanggeng, Lin Min, Xu Shiqing, Bi Zhou's and other cadres to Dali Temple for trial, and the Kaifeng Mansion has the right to push the Kaifeng Mansion Prison Litigation Li Sanjian temporarily took the Kaifeng Mansion Zuo Hall to sentence the Kaifeng Mansion Prison Lawsuit, and gave Li Sanjian a straight dragon pavilion, gold, silver, jade, silk, and wine... ”

"Weichen commanded, thank you for your majesty's longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Li Sanjian was extremely surprised, but reluctantly accepted the order.

"Judge Li, congratulations!" Lu Changheng then slapped Li Sanjian on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Congratulations? What's the joy? Li Sanjian only said one word after looking at Zhou Fanggeng's proud back.

"Black!" Li Sanjian said indignantly.
