Chapter 24 Trial 1
Duan Jian, who got out of the carriage, said a few words to Wang Bingzhong and others, and then walked alone on crutches to the inside of Dali Temple. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause of the case of the Wang family pharmacy, which is very involved, and the emperor and the civil and military officials are watching, so, in order to avoid extraneous branches and unnecessary trouble, in addition to the dozens of squires in Chang'an City who were invited for interrogation, it is the relatives of the Wang family pharmacy who were interrogated and the person who was poisoned, and Duan Jian, an additional person, and the rest of the people were all blocked outside the gate of the yamen.
After entering Dali Temple, Duan Jian did not enter the public hall directly, but was arranged by the servant in the side hall next to the public hall, not only Duan Jian was here, but even Wang Erlang and the doctor of the Wang family pharmacy called Tang Bingxuan saw that he was not too old, that is, he was in his thirties and less than forty years old, and he looked quite gentle, but he was a good old man at first glance, but he didn't know if he was afraid or what the reason was, he looked full of horror on his face, his eyes were scattered, and he sat there silently.
"Paragraph .... Duan Xian's nephew, how can it be you, is this matter even involved in you, this.... What can I do, who else can save us out, I am wronged, I am wronged! Unlike Tang Bingxuan, Wang Erlang on the side, Duan Jian, who suddenly appeared, was first overjoyed, and then shouted in frustration in an instant.
"Second uncle, don't worry, the reason why the little nephew came in this time is to come to rescue you, the little nephew has found evidence in favor of you in this case, and the truth of the matter will be revealed to the world later, don't worry." Seeing that Twenty Erlang was about to go crazy, Duan Jian hurriedly said.
"Ah, really, really? What you say is true, I will say, God is still long-eyed, and now we finally have hope. As soon as he heard Duan Jian's words, not only Twenty Erlang was overjoyed, but the pharmacy guy who had already been appointed next to him and Tang Bingxuan, who was silent, also looked at him with joy in their eyes.
Just when they were about to ask something, they suddenly heard a shout like a mountain shouting next to them, and at the same time there was the sound of wooden sticks hitting the ground.
Duan Jian walked the slowest because he was on crutches, and when he walked to the top of the hall, it was already full of kneeling figures, and on the top of the hall were two people in official uniforms sitting on it, one was wearing purple clothes, and the other was wearing red clothes, and the people in purple clothes were more familiar to Duan Jian, it was Zhao Youguang, the Qing of Dali Temple, and the person wearing Zhu clothes, although Duan Jian didn't know him, but since it was a joint trial between Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, then this person must be an official of the Criminal Department, and the people who can wear Zhu Yi in the Criminal Department are just two waiters, The left waiter is Wang Bingxiao, and this person should be the right waiter Cui Mengzhong.
Looking at Cui Mengzhong sitting on the top of the main hall, Duan Jian's heart was unhappy for a while, and they all said that their peers were enemies, which is true, Cui Mengzhong and Wang Bingxiao were officials in the same criminal department, and their level was the same, and they were usually hostile to each other because of the struggle for power, and what was more serious was that Cui Mengzhong was born in another big family with five surnames and seven wangs, the Qinghe Cui family, and the Qinghe Cui family never dealt with the Taiyuan Wang family, and the open and secret battles have never stopped.
Especially in the early days of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, because the Wang family supported Li Yuan's meritorious efforts in raising troops and was rewarded by the Tang Dynasty, but the Cui family in Qinghe was suppressed by the Tang Dynasty because of their support for Dou Jiande, the Cui family was slowly weaker than the Wang family, but after all, the Cui family has a big business, and over the years, with its profound heritage, it has slowly risen, while the Wang family has been suppressed by the imperial court, especially after Wu Zetian took power, they have been weakened everywhere, resulting in the two families slowly balancing each other.
In this case, if Cui Mengzhong doesn't make good use of this opportunity to deal with the Wang family, it will really be hell.
Seeing that the personnel had almost arrived, Zhao Youguang, who was the chief judge, slammed the startled wood in his hand, and the two rows of errand officers around him suddenly shouted 'mighty', which made the people in the middle of the hall who were already frightened become more panicked at this time, and some people even turned pale and sweated, and they didn't know if they were wetting their pants.
"Everyone in the hall listens, today a certain and Cui Shilang were ordered by the emperor to jointly try the case of the Wang family pharmacy poisoning Meng Laogen's family of three, I hope you can answer honestly, otherwise, if there is half a lie, I will let you know how powerful this Dali Temple is." Zhao Youguang shouted at the people below.
"I'll get it." Hearing Zhao Youguang's words, everyone below hurriedly replied.
Looking at the panicked look of the people below, Zhao Youguang felt a burst of comfort in his heart, but when he saw Duan Jian standing at the back, on crutches, the comfort in his heart suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a wry smile and worry, although he didn't know what Duan Jian found on those evidences that day, but he knew that what Duan Jian found must be very important, and whether there will be any changes in this case today depends on this young man.
Just when Zhao Youguang was thinking about this, Cui Mengzhong on the side had already begun to inquire about the case, although he and Zhao Youguang jointly tried it, but Zhao Youguang had a higher official position than him after all, so the rough work of these interrogations fell on him.
"Meng Boyou, I see what you wrote that your uncle's family was poisoned and died after taking the medicine used by the Wang family's pharmacy to treat the plague, but there is such a thing."
Hearing Cui Mengzhong's question, a kneeling, young man in his twenties hurriedly replied, "That's right, my uncle's family of three, the day before the poisoning, somehow contracted the plague, in desperation, went to the Wang's pharmacy for treatment, after that, the doctor sitting in the hall showed it, and said that there was a big problem, just take a few pills, I wrote the prescription at that time, and in their pharmacy grasped the medicinal materials, and came back, I didn't expect that at night, I heard a scream from my uncle's house next door, Hurriedly ran over, a look to know, they are lying on the ground, painful struggle, at the same time bleeding, extremely miserable, after seeing this situation, I will go to the doctor, unfortunately, not yet, my uncle's family of three passed away, even my brother who is less than ten years old, also died tragically, my uncle's family died so miserably, and please Yu Shi Cui Lang to see the details, to avenge my uncle's family! ”
I have to say that this Meng Boyou spoke very methodically, and there was no superfluous meaning in his words, so clearly and clearly revealed the real situation at that time.
"Meng Boyou, since your uncle died of poisoning, then how do you know that they were poisoned and died after eating the medicine of the Wang family pharmacy, you know, the Wang family pharmacy has no grievances with them, besides, so many people go to the Wang family pharmacy to get medicine and see a doctor, but except for your uncle's family, no one has an accident, you have evidence." Cui Mengzhong asked again.
"I have evidence, there is evidence, originally I also thought that my uncle's family had inadvertently eaten poisonous things or other reasons, but after I reported the case, after the county officials came to search, they found that my uncle's family did not eat anything else that night, but only ate the medicine prescribed by the Wang family's pharmacy, and at the same time, they also found a taste from the medicinal materials left in my uncle's house. Jiazi peach's medicinal materials, it is said that this thing is the most powerful, as long as people eat a little, they will die on the spot, and the reason for the death of my uncle's family is to eat this medicinal material mixed with 'Jiazi peach', before he died, Cui Shilang, you said, this is not the poisonous hand of the people in the pharmacy, who will do it, my uncle's family, but the famous honest people! Meng Boyou said.
Hearing Meng Boyou's words, Cui Mengzhong said to the side again, "The WN County Errand is here." ”
As soon as Cui Mengzhong's voice fell, he saw a strong man in regular clothes raise his head and said, "Lord Hui, Zhao Liu, the head of the WN County government office, is here." ”
"Okay, Zhao Liu, since you are here, then I ask you, everything Meng Boyou said just now is true." Cui Mengzhong asked.
"Back to Cui Shilang's words, everything Meng Boyou said just now is the truth, and this matter is also seen with his own eyes, and there is no mistake." Zhao Liu said.
"In that case, come and bring the physical evidence." Cui Mengzhong shouted at the errand officer on the side.
Not long after Cui Mengzhong finished speaking, an errand officer walked in with a tray with the evidence, prescriptions, medicinal herbs, and a black porcelain bowl that Duan Jian had seen before.
When these things were served, Cui Mengzhong was shocked, and said sharply to the people in the Wang Family Pharmacy who were kneeling below, "Tang Bingxuan, as the sitting doctor of the Wang Family Pharmacy, that Meng Laogen is also personally managed by you, and their prescriptions are also prescribed by you yourself, I don't know, you have any opinions on what Meng Boyou said just now." ”
"Back to Cui Shilang, I prescribed the prescription, and the medicinal materials were also caught by the guys in our pharmacy, but my prescription does not have the flavor of 'Jiazi Peach' on it at all, as a person who practices medicine, I know that 'Jiazi Peach' is a highly poisonous thing, and I usually don't prescribe it to people easily, how can I prescribe this medicine in order to treat a small temperature disease, the grass people are wronged!" After Tang Bingxuan heard Cui Mengzhong's question, his face was full of anger and unwillingness.
"Yes, yes, my lord, I was also present at the time, and I also glanced at the prescription prescribed by Dr. Tang, which was an ordinary prescription for treating plague, and there was no 'Jiazi peach' at all, how could it poison people? There must be something inside to this, we are wronged! As soon as Tang Bingxuan's words were finished, Wang Erlang on the side also spoke impatiently.
