After a preliminary examination, the powder on the paper of the package of medicine was the same poison that Zhang Xiaocai was poisoned with. At that time, when the test results were submitted, needless to say, everyone also knew that this was the poison that poisoned Zhang Xiaocai.

Feng Manlou turned his head to look at Hu Weishan, but did not speak, meaning that you didn't shout wronged just now, now it depends on what else you have to say.

Hu Weishan was anxious to justify, but now that he was out of proportion, he didn't know how to defend at all, so he just said: "My lord, the lower official did not poison it, how did this poison come from, and the lower official doesn't know!" ”

Feng Manlou smiled and said, "Now that the human and material evidence are there, what else does Master Hu have to say?" ”

Suddenly, the atmosphere was dull for a while, and for a while, everyone looked at Hu Weishan's expression and couldn't help but change.

However, in the end, it was Wei Zhongshu who broke the silence, and Wei Zhongshu said very calmly: "My lord, now this medicine powder is indeed the same as the medicine powder that poisoned Zhang Xiaocai, it is obviously the medicine powder that poisoned Zhang Xiaocai. But what Wang San said is not necessarily the truth! ”

Feng Manlou smiled: "Then what else is not true?" ”

Wei Zhongshu said: "At that time, Master Hu was drinking upstairs with us, and he didn't have time to go to the kitchen, and he didn't know the location of the kitchen at all, let alone where the tavern wine jar was placed!" ”

Hearing Wei Zhongshu say this, Feng Manlou had a bottom in his heart, and asked Qian Weilun: "Lord Qian, what Lord Wei said, but is it the truth?" ”

Qian Weilun didn't speak from beginning to end, and now seeing that Feng Manlou had pointed at him, he hurriedly said: "It's really true!" ”

Feng Manlou asked Hu Weishan again, and Hu Weishan hurriedly said, it is indeed the truth! At that time, I didn't leave the restaurant at all.

Feng Manlou asked people to take out the portrait of the jailer's neighbor, and asked Zhang Xing to confirm that it was indeed his neighbor, and then asked Wang San to confirm it, and Wang San also confirmed that it was this person who replaced the wine jar.

Wei Zhongshu didn't deny it, but said: "My lord, this poisonous wine jar is probably what this Wang San asked that person to replace!" ”

Feng Manlou said: "Lord Wei is saying that the evidence is insufficient? ”

Wei Zhongshu said: "Of course, there is no direct evidence to prove that Lord Hu left his aunt's banquet, and there is no strong evidence to prove that Lord Hu poisoned him!" ”

Feng Manlou smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then let's postpone this case for retrial, and try the case of Lord Xiao Zhangxiao's murder first!" ”

Wei Zhongshu objected: "My lord, this is not right! In this case, Xia Guan feels that it must be tried to the end! It must be this Wang San who murdered Zhang Xiaocai, according to the lower officials, there is no need to be severely punished, this splash will not be recruited! ”

Feng Manlou said: "Don't worry, because Lord Xiao Zhang's case, in some places, coincides with this case!" ”

Wei Zhongshu directly retorted: "The lower officials have never heard of the trial of two cases at the same time, and the adults should finish the trial of this case first!" After speaking, regardless of Feng Manlou's opposition, he was about to order the officials to be tortured, but at a glance, none of the officials in the entire second hall had any cronies, and they were all Liu Dutou's people. There is no self-deprecation either!

Feng Manlou now has the upper hand, and the reaction of Wei Zhongshu's group has already been fully prepared.

"Now the trial of Lord Xiao Zhangxiao's suicide case begins!" The wind filled the building and the wood was shocked, and the sound was still very deterrent.

"Wait!" A hearty voice came in.

Everyone followed their eyes and went in to take a look, but it was Xiao Zonghua who came in the door.

Wei Zhongshu seemed to see a savior, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow down: "Wei Zhongshu, the official of Yuhang County, meet the prefect!" ”

Qian Weilun still greeted him according to etiquette, but it was Hu Weishan who was excited. Hu Weishan directly stepped forward and fell to the ground, and said: "Xiaguan Hu Weishan has visited the prefect, please let the lower official call the shots!" ”

Xiao Zonghua asked, "Master Hu, what happened?" ”

Feng Manlou finished saluting and said, "Following the order of the lord, the case that the lower official is responsible for investigating now has clues and is being tried!" ”

Xiao Zonghua hurriedly asked the reason, and Wei Zhongshu explained what happened in detail.

When Xiao Zonghua heard this, he said: "Lord Feng, don't you know that framing an official of the imperial court is a capital crime?" ”

Just one sentence, Wang San was so frightened that he fell to the ground all of a sudden, and shouted loudly: "Adult, what the villain said is true!" ”

But who cares?

Feng Manlou said: "My lord, this case is related to Lord Xiao Zhangxiao's case, and a lot of clues and evidence are in Lord Xiao Zhangxiao's case, the lower officials already have sufficient evidence, please allow the lower officials to complete the trial of Lord Xiao Zhang's case!" ”

Xiao Zonghua didn't know what medicine he had taken, and said: "Nonsense, how can there be a case that is halfway through the trial and another case is tried?" This mansion looks at this Wang San, he is also a splash, he doesn't need to be tortured, it seems that he won't confess! ”

Just as he was about to order the torture, Feng Manlou hurriedly stopped: "My lord, slow down!" In the opinion of the lower officials, even if there are untruths in the words of the witness, but you can't rashly use the punishment, under severe torture, although some people will confess, but it is inevitable that there will be examples of being unable to withstand the torture and being beaten into confessions! ”

Xiao Zonghua's face was a little ugly, and he said, "Lord Feng is saying that this mansion is a trick?" ”

Feng Manlou hurriedly said: "Xia Guan doesn't think so, but I'm just worried, if it is bent into a move, it will definitely have an impact on the reputation of the adult!" ”

Xiao Zonghua seemed to have eaten the scales and said: "All the consequences, this government bears it!" "Immediately ordered the punishment of Wang San, those officials dared to disobey, although they listened to the orders of the magistrate and Liu Dutou, but they did not dare to disobey the prefect.

Soon, Wang San was pressed to the ground, and the boards of the officials began to fall, so how did Wang San know that he would be treated like this when he came to be a witness, so he screamed wow.

At this time, Diane, the master of the torture room, was not a vegetarian, and knew that these officials, the board was held high and fell on people, but it was just some flesh and skin suffering, where could it be effective, so he just shouted: "Really fight!" ”

Really fighting, that is, the jargon of the yamen, which means to fight hard! These boards are also learned. The order said to beat, that is, to beat gently, even if more than a dozen boards are beaten, the buttocks are only a little red. The order said that to beat with heart, that is, to beat the pain, under normal circumstances, the buttocks were beaten into a blur of flesh and blood, which looked miserable, but in fact, it would be good to raise for a while. In general, in this case, a few boards go down, which is the consequence of broken tendons and fractures.

How does Feng Manlou know, just seeing such a situation, this Wang San must be killed! Now that he has completely gained the upper hand, the situation is out of his control.

"Stop!" Feng Manlou shouted categorically: "Stop, do you hear it!" ”

At this time, the factor of his own people played a role, Liu Dutou hurriedly shouted to stop, those officials just listened to the order to fight, although Master Dai's words are not credible, but these officials are also people who are used to seeing the wind and rudder, and hurriedly stopped the execution!

Xiao Zonghua shouted: "Lord Feng, even if you bend the law, do you still want to cover up the suspect?" ”

It's a big hat, if Feng Manlou admits it, his career as an official will be over.

I don't know where Feng Manlou got the courage, and said to Xiao Zonghua: "This county is the first magistrate of Yuhang County, this case is tried by the county personally, even if the prefect is the prefect of a county, he can't obstruct the county's trial!" No matter what the consequences of this case are, if there is an unjust, false and wrongful case, this county is willing to bear it! ”

Feng Manlou said that he was dead, and he was also planning to gamble, Xiao Zonghua asked: "Then according to Lord Feng's meaning, what should I do?" ”

Feng Manlou said: "The meaning of this county is to try the case of Lord Xiao Zhang's suicide." Lord Xiao Zhang is also the nephew of Lord Prefect, don't you want to know the truth of the matter? ”

Xiao Zonghua shouted: "What nonsense! Zhang Er committed suicide, all the people in the Yamen know it, and the people of Yuhang County know it, which is an unquestionable fact! Seeing that Lord Feng, as a county parent official, drove out such a law-breaking thing, how could this government sit idly by? ”

After Xiao Zonghua finished speaking, he immediately ordered the execution! Motioned to Diane and Wei Zhongshu to pull Feng Manlou away, please go out. The rules in the officialdom are not like in TV, the prefect found the trouble of the magistrate below, and directly took off his hat and locked him up. Such a situation can only appear in the drama.

Xiao Zonghua naturally doesn't have this power, but now that he has suppressed the field, if he can't turn this case into an iron case, he won't be able to eat and walk around! Therefore, I made up my mind that Wang San must confess to poisoning!

Wei Zhongshu shouted: "Execution!" Feng Manlou was pulled by the two of them, and was about to be withdrawn from the door, and secretly shouted in his heart: "I am also a bastard, why did I believe the words of Wang Kan's child!" ”

At this time, the door was kicked open again, and Xiao Zonghua was about to shout who was so bold, but he heard a voice say: "On the order of King Han, come to see Fengmanlou in Yuhang Zhi County to try Zhang Xiaocai's murder, and the county lieutenant Xiao Zhang committed suicide!" It was Li Zhong's voice.

King Han is Zhao Yuankan!

When Feng Manlou heard it, he knew that Wang Kan's kid was really here, and it seemed that he had made the right bet! But I heard Xiao Zonghua say: "King Han? Is there any evidence? ”

Seeing Li Zhong take out a token, Xiao Zonghua took a closer look, it was the symbol of Han Wangfu.

Although King Han can't directly control himself, he is the prince after all, and he can't afford to offend him from afar. And in the hearts of these officials, now that Fengzhi County has the support of the prince, of course, there is no need to be afraid of his prefect, you are a prefect who is 108,000 miles away from the prince!

Feng Manlou took the opportunity to shout: "Don't stop the execution? ”

The situation suddenly reversed, and Feng Manlou secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart!
