Chapter 15: Case within a Case

Wang's face was like ashes, there was no grief on his face, and He Yongsheng, who was fixed on his side, kept whining, and his eyes were split, as if he wanted to stop her.

After a long time, Wang sighed and knelt straight.

"The sinner confesses! He Yongsheng has coveted the sinner woman for a long time, and when her husband went out hunting, he had raped the sinner woman many times. The sinner is a woman, how is it his opponent, the husband is still so weak, and he can't be angry, so he has no choice but to endure. ”

Wang paused for a moment, and then said: "It wasn't until five days ago that the sinner found out that she was pregnant, and when she saw that her husband came back with the medicine, she replaced the red fruit-like medicine in it with Nantian bamboo, thinking that she drank the poison together and died. But who would have thought that in the early morning two days ago, He Yongsheng hurriedly climbed over the wall and came to the sinner's house, saying that he saw his husband fall into the water by Baixitang, but the body was gone. ”

He Yongsheng stared at Wang at this time, his gaze was eager to pierce Wang, Wang raised his head and continued:

"It wasn't until last night that the person was fished out, and he said that since the person died, he couldn't die in vain, so he came to the county seat with the corpse, and the sinner thought about bringing the dregs in the clay pot with her, but the sinner only knew at this time that he was the murderer of her husband."

As he spoke, he fell prostrate on the ground and wept bitterly.

Zhixian s face was pale, and the certification materials were gathered, even if He Yongsheng didn't admit it, it was ironclad, and he glanced at the master.

"Come on, sign and draw a pledge for the Wang family!"

The master and an errand officer stepped forward and grabbed Wang's hand to sign and draw, but Wang was very cooperative and did not struggle too much.

When He Zhutou saw Zhixian coming over, he hurriedly patted He Yongsheng on the shoulder, and the whole person collapsed in an instant, and Zhixian pointed at He Yongsheng and shouted:

"He Yongsheng, can you plead guilty?"

Then He Yongsheng had no strength at this time, his clothes were already soaked, and he confessed that he was a little less bitter, raised his eyes to look at the Wang family kneeling in front of him, and said with a little hesitation:

"I ...... I, the grass people, confess their sins! ”

When the master heard this, he hurriedly took the messenger over to sign and draw the charge, and the magistrate breathed a sigh of relief, and slapped it hard with the startling wood in his hand.

"The two of you are in a mess, killing your loved ones, and trying to deceive your own officials and falsely accusing Xinglin Medical Center, which is really a heinous crime! Someone came, put Wang and He Yongsheng in prison, and the next day together with the file to Jinan Mansion for punishment, everyone in the He family was given 20 rods, and they were executed immediately! ”

As soon as these words came out, several messengers stepped forward and dragged Wang and He Yongsheng out with chains.

The He family members kneeling on the east side kept kowtowing and wailing, and no one paid attention to them.

The men were dragged out by the servants, tied to long chairs, and the sound of counting, crackling sticks into flesh, and the sound of ghosts crying wolves came and went.

Boss Xue was able to do it at this time, moved back a few steps, craned his neck and looked out, and after a short time the execution was completed, these people were thrown out of the county office.

Zhixian only got up at this time, "Retreat, Zhou Gongzi stays!" ”

Zhou Heng was shocked, what does this mean, he has withdrawn and caught the real murderer, why don't you let him go, could it be that he did something wrong just now?

Huang Zongming and the others hurriedly thanked them and left in a hurry with Dr. Qu.

Zhixian got up and walked down from behind the case, and there were only three people left in the entire lobby, Zhou Heng, Xue Boss and Zhixian, and Zhixian walked in front of Zhou Heng and looked up and down carefully.

"You're the Lord of the Plum Garden?"

Zhou Heng smiled, he couldn't pretend to be forced at this time, he would be dead if he showed his stuffing.

"No, the student is just temporarily living in the plum garden, treating and conditioning the body for a nobleman, as for the other ......"

Zhou Heng swallowed half a sentence, you think for yourself, if you want to live in Qingping County again in the future, you will at least deal with it, but if you talk too much now, it will be ruined at that time.

Zhixian nodded, "Zhou Gongzi doesn't need to reveal more, this official won't ask again, today I lost Zhou Gongzi to speak up, your insights are unique, your observation is meticulous, and it is refreshing, if you have the opportunity in the future, can you discuss a lesson or two with Zhou Gongzi?" ”

Zhou Heng hurriedly bowed down and saluted, "The word "asking for advice is serious, the county lord is the official of the parents, if there is a need, it is, as for what the student said just now, it is the experience of my grandfather who has practiced medicine for many years." ”

The magistrate laughed loudly, took out a piece of paper the size of a red palm from the sleeve of his official uniform and handed it to Zhou Heng, Zhou Heng quickly took it with both hands and looked at the magistrate with a puzzled expression.

"Lord County, this is ......"

"This is the official's name post, next time if you come, you can enter with this post!"

Zhou Heng's eyes lit up, what is this the meaning of showing goodwill, people are parents and officials, and giving a name card is a token, so what else is there to refuse, quickly read it carefully, it turned out that the county name was Liu Renli, and Zhou Heng hurriedly put it away carefully.

"In recent days, students still need to recuperate for nobles, and after these few days, Zhou Heng has come to visit Lord Liu!"

Saying that, he saluted the magistrate again, then said goodbye and left, and the two walked out of the county office.

As soon as he came out, Boss Xue grabbed Zhou Heng's arm, stared at the cow's eyes, and asked in a low voice:

"You're not talking nonsense, how do you understand so many truths, you don't even think about that trick as carefully, but look, what you said seems to be reasonable!"

Zhou Heng didn't bother to pay attention to him at this time, and raised his hand to shake off Boss Xue's hand.

"Hugh wants to pull and pull, what kind of system, when you are in front of the hospital, you are very cheerful, your voice is also loud, you roll up your arms and sleeves to look at the posture of the fight, but when you enter the yamen, how did you become a quail?"

Boss Xue looked embarrassed, raised his hand and scratched his head, and said with a smirk:

"You can be eloquent, then Xiao Bo has praised you, I think your medical skills must be good."

Zhou Heng looked at Boss Xue again, this thing is not stupid, he is really smart, he just used his honesty as a cover, he was blinded, he was too lazy to pay attention to him.

"It's been delayed for too long, let's hurry up and buy it now, and we will change the medicine for Zhu Gongzi later."

Boss Xue hurriedly got up, it was true that they had been delayed in the yamen for at least an hour, and it was time to buy it quickly.

"Don't worry, let's go to that Shouhetang to buy mint and licorice!"

As soon as Boss Xue turned around, he happened to collide with a person behind him, and with an oops, Boss Xue's hand moved very quickly, and he reached out and dragged it, and the person was straightened out.

Only then did Zhou Heng see clearly that this person was none other than Huang Zongming just now, thinking that he didn't leave, he waited for Zhou Heng and them to come out and thank him.

Zhou Heng pretended to be surprised and called out.

"Shopkeeper Huang?"

The shopkeeper Huang made a gesture to kneel, and Zhou Heng hurriedly signaled Boss Xue to help people.

"Zhou Gongzi's great grace, if it weren't for your master and servant today, my golden signboard of Xinglin Medical Center would have been destroyed!"

Zhou Heng waved his hand, "Shopkeeper Huang doesn't need to say thank you, he is also a practitioner of medicine, but he just said a few fair words when he saw injustice, and there is no need to remember." ”

As soon as the words came out, the shopkeeper Huang already had tears in his eyes.

"Okay, a good sentence for the same practitioners, the son is a great doctor, the old man admires, go to the old man's medical hall to talk about it!"

Zhou Heng looked at the sky, if he delayed any longer, it would really be too late.

"It's not a secret, I still have the injured to be treated, but I came out to buy some medicinal materials, it's already a little late at this time, and Zhou Heng will come to the door in two days."

Hearing Zhou Heng say this, the shopkeeper Huang knew that this really couldn't be delayed.

After groping around his waist for a while, he took off a purse, took out a white and flawless mutton fat white jade brand, and sent it to Zhou Heng with both hands, seeing that Zhou Heng wanted to excuse himself, he continued.

"The elder can't give up, you don't have to shirk! This left is just a brand with a better material, just engrave what you like, and it's a waste to stay in the hands of an old man like me, don't delay Zhou Gongzi today, when Gongzi is free to go to the hospital and sit down, we'll talk about it in detail later. ”

Zhou Heng grabbed the piece of mutton fat white jade and sighed a little for a while, and it would be a little too polite, but it would be better if this thing was silver.

"Okay, shopkeeper Huang walks slowly."

Shopkeeper Huang also left with Desheng.

Zhou Heng took a long breath, walked quickly towards the shop selling mountain goods with Boss Xue, bought the things he needed, and went to see Nashou Hetang, bought herbs and a medicine box, returned to Nashengyun Rice Shop, handed over the silver and pulled a full cart towards the plum garden.

Entering the plum garden from the corner gate, detouring to the back house, the car had just driven into the small courtyard where they lived, and a man's voice sounded from behind.

"Hey, stop the car, stop it, it's all crushed!"
