The soaps on both sides were accustomed to seeing this situation, and they did not hesitate to hit the ground with the water and fire sticks in their hands, and made a mighty sound in their mouths. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"This is above the court, the grievance is not settled, and the verdict has not been pronounced, how can we determine that the pharmacy shopkeeper and apprentice are the murderers?!"

Zhao Zhen looked at the chaotic crowd in the hall and said that the "audience" at the door had surrounded many people.

"Your Highness, I have been wronged!" The apprentice first shouted injustice, and knelt down anxiously: "Anyone who comes with a prescription to grab medicine, I will carefully check, the money shopkeeper is a rich family in the city, how dare the small one be careless?" The amount of this toad crisp is very small on weekdays, and the disease of cold and heat will never be used, and the small one will not put the toad crisp no matter how stupid it is! ”

The shopkeeper on the side hurriedly stepped forward to confirm his statement: "Your Highness is aware that the little old man's pharmacy is handed down from his ancestors, how dare he smash his own signboard!" Erniu caught the medicine, I must test it every time, and besides, our master and apprentice and the money shopkeeper have no reason, how can they harm people's lives! ”

Zhao Zhen nodded, this is true, the old store for many years relies on its own well-known signboard and credit to attract customers, and a fool will deliberately kill people, and it is so obvious, this is not just a trivial matter of smashing signboards, according to the Song criminal system, if you intentionally kill someone, you will have to pay for your life.

"Who made Yulian's medicine?" Zhao Zhen suddenly opened his mouth and asked the money shopkeeper on the ground, it is very simple, since it is not Sun Langzhong's prescription and Li Sheng's medicinal materials have problems, the rest is the person who can come into contact with the decoction.

"It's the little girl's maid Xiang'er...... Your Highness means she poisoned?! This white-eyed wolf who can't be raised! The money shopkeeper who reacted immediately got up and walked towards the door, as if he was going back to kill Xiang'er.

Peng Qi quickly stepped forward and stopped him: "Your Highness just summoned Xiang'er to ask clearly, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

"It's not clear? Who else can touch this bowl of medicine except the maid Xiang'er who decoction medicine? The shopkeeper and apprentice of Li Sheng's medicine shop have been excluded, and Sun Langzhong's prescription is no problem, so isn't there only Xiang'er left? The words of the money shopkeeper were instantly recognized by everyone.

"Iniquity! This maid is really damned, she can do such a thing as killing the master, and she almost dragged us into it! Sun Lang shook his head and sighed bitterly.

Huo Laoqi went out again depressed, can't he make it clear at one time? ! Today he ran one south and one north, and his legs were about to break.

Xiang'er knelt on the ground pitifully and cried that she had been wronged, and the people next to her looked disdainful, as if in their eyes this was not a person at all but garbage, and the maid was not a contract helper, but a slave who owed a deed of sale, which was a very common phenomenon in the Great Song Dynasty, they were different from helpers, they had no personal freedom and could only work and eat in the master's house, and this life would be regarded as selling to the master's family.

After patting the shocking palms of the shocked palms, Zhao Zhen waved his hand to Peng Qi, who was holding back a smile beside him, and a bowl of reddish-brown syrup juice was sent to Xiang'er: "Your Highness sees that you are pitiful and gives you a bowl of ginger soup to drink." ”

Looking at the "ginger soup" handed by Peng Qi and the young prince in the hall, Xiang'er took it without hesitation and was about to drink it, but Peng Qi quickly grabbed it and nodded to Zhao Zhen.

"Do you know what's in this bowl?"

"Isn't it ginger soup?" Xiang'er asked suspiciously.

"This is toad, and it is highly poisonous! How could you not know? ”

"Scared! Is this a toad? But Mrs. said that this is ginger soup, which is added to the medicine to get rid of the cold! ”

Xiang'er returned in surprise, the situation changed instantly, and the people in the hall looked at the medicine bowl in Xiang'er and Peng Qi's hands in amazement, could it be that Mrs. Qian did all this? !

"Slut!!" The money shopkeeper was hit one after another, and his spirit had collapsed, first his daughter died, and then the murderer became his wife again, how could he stand it? After screaming, he collapsed softly, and Sun Langzhong next to him quickly helped him up, and it took a long time to wake him up.

Seeing the prince looking at him, Huo Laoqi was really speechless, he knew that he had locked Mrs. Qian just now, how could he still suffer these two crimes!

"Although this ginger soup and toad crisp are the same color, they will turn reddish-brown when exposed to water, but there is a world of difference before decoction, Mrs. Qian did it deliberately!"

As soon as Zhao Zhen's words came out, everyone nodded again and again, and the people in the hall were either the shopkeeper of the pharmacy or Lang Zhong, how could they not know the appearance of Toad Su when dealing with medicinal materials all day long? It seems that this Mrs. Qian really wants to murder her daughter!

The money shopkeeper's face turned purple with anger, he didn't expect his wife who got along day and night to be so ruthless, and poisoned his daughter, who was usually regarded as a pearl in the palm of his hand, tiger poison still doesn't eat children, but this slut is not even as good as a beast!

Looking at the woman who was escorted into the lobby, the money shopkeeper rushed over like a leopard, and tried his best to strangle the frightened woman with a frightened face, but fortunately Huo Laoqi stopped her, otherwise Mrs. Qian would have died in Huangquan.

"Repair nonsense! Your Highness is in charge of you! Huo Laoqi kicked the money shopkeeper's leg sharply, making him kneel on the ground.

The money shopkeeper reflected and leaned all the way to the warm pavilion in the lobby: "Your Highness is the master for me!" This slut actually killed her own daughter, and she couldn't atone for her sins with a thousand cuts! ”

Zhao Zhen frowned and looked at the money shopkeeper who was crying like a baby in the hall, and now his face was full of remorse and pain, after all, the woman he loved the most killed his daughter, and it was not good for anyone to put it on him.

"Who is the woman kneeling in the hall!"

"The people's woman Qian Liu knocked to see His Royal Highness the Prince." Mrs. Qian had no strength to stand, her legs knelt down softly, she didn't expect that she had killed her daughter, she thought at first, like the shopkeeper Qian, that Sun Langzhong had prescribed the wrong medicine to poison her daughter.

"Do you know the right herbs to put in the Jade Lotus Medicine?"

"Toad Crisp...... But the monk said that eating this toad crisp can get rid of the evil spirit! ”

"Monk? Evil? Qian Liu's let the matter go through the original way! ”

The woman's answer surprised Zhao Zhen, why was it still involved in the monk? This is a completely irrelevant person!

Mrs. Qian sobbed and told what happened, and everyone in the hall, including the onlookers and soap li, were shocked by her words, it turned out that Yulian began to talk nonsense after she was sick, and always shouted the name of a strange man in her mouth, Mrs. Qian was uneasy, thinking that her daughter had hit an evil spirit, so she went to the Big Buddha Temple in the west of the city to ask the monk for advice.

The so-called "high monk" actually said that the toad crisp on the toad can drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters, and the toad crisp elsewhere is not as good as his golden toad crisp, but he doesn't sell it to people when he is idle, and when he sees Mrs. Qian so sincere, he can't bear to cut his love.

For this reason, Mrs. Qian gave him all the money and jewelry he carried, and then exchanged three taels of toad crisp from the "high monk", and let the maid Xiang'er of the girl put all of them into the medicine.

The truth of the matter was finally revealed, and the onlookers whispered: "What kind of monk is this, it's simply a demon monk who harms people's lives!" ”

"This Mrs. Qian is really stupid, who doesn't know that the toad is poisonous? How can you put it in your own daughter's medicine? ”

"Well! A good rich family is ruined like this! ”

"Mrs. Qian is at fault in this matter, so is the demon monk right?"

"Be evil, a good monk doesn't chant scriptures, how can he do such a hurtful thing, and I'm not afraid that the Buddha will let him go to hell!"

"I don't know if the Buddha punishes him or not, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will never let him go."

Everyone looked at Zhao Zhen in the lobby, his wisdom and filial piety had already spread in the Great Song Dynasty, and everyone watched how he judged the case.
