Dr. Tang sighed and said, "Shopkeeper Sui, then Ni Er insisted that the aconitum that was used at that time was the aconitum given free by Hengchang Pharmacy, and these aconites were concocted by Guizhitang with a new method, and the two people of Guizhitang Xiaolangzhong and Hengchang Pharmacy's medicine cabinet have already testified in the lobby, proving that Xiaolangzhong did use eight aconites to treat the medicine cabinet before, and he was not poisoned and cured the disease. For the sake of prudence, Lord Qian, Lord An and the official went to Guizhitang to inspect just now, and the result was that Lord Qian had already told you just now that the attached tablets concocted by this Xiaolang using the new method were used in medicine, and the dosage was as much as one catty, and the child took it in person, not only was it not poisoned, but his condition was further improved. It shows that the aconitum attached tablets concocted by Guizhitang's new method, even if they are excessive, will indeed not be poisoned. Therefore, Qian Dacai said that Ling Ci's death was likely to have nothing to do with Ni Er's medication. ”

Medical Officer An also said: "Yes, this result was checked by this official and the two adults together, there will be no mistake, and the whole process is recorded." ”

Dr. Tang also said: "Whether Ni Er really used the medicinal materials concocted by the new method of Guizhitang, at present, he is the only one who confesses, and after the investigation, no one else knows, and the medicine residue cannot tell whether it is the medicine concocted by the new method, so the plot cannot be clarified." The available evidence proves that he is inferior to his own side because he believes that the eight aconitum concocted by the new method will not poison people to death, and Ling Ci's illness does require a large dose of aconite, and the facts have also proved that the eight aconitum concocted by the new method will not cause poisoning, so the available evidence proves that Ni Er did not deliberately inferiorize his own side. He cannot be convicted of a capital offense that is inferior to his own. ”

"How is this ......?" The shopkeeper of Sui knew that Dr. Tang had won the trust of Ouyang Tingshi, so he would send him to supervise the case, because it involved medical expertise, he couldn't understand it, and he didn't know how to speak if he wanted to refute it, Qian County Ling stepped forward and said: "Despite this, but Guizhitang's new method of concocting aconitum is only a recent thing, and there are still many people who do not recognize it, especially the imperial court has not officially recognized that this concoction method can be regarded as this recipe, that is to say, according to the requirements of the current medical book prescription, the big aconitum can only be fried with a maximum of five aconitum aconite, and Ni Er can use eight pieces, although there is a reason for it, There is also circumstantial evidence that it will not be poisoned, but after all, it is not as good as this side. Moreover, in view of whether Ni Er used a new drug or not, because it is impossible to find out, the relationship between Ling Ci's death and Ni Er's prescription cannot be completely and completely ruled out. Therefore, he still has to bear some responsibility for Ling Ci's death, so the county decided to sentence him to the crime of being worse than his own party. What do you think? ”

The shopkeeper of Sui whimpered and said, "Then my mother didn't die in vain!" ”

Qian County ordered: "The case has reached this point, it is indeed impossible to sentence him to death, this is not the opinion of this official alone, it is the conclusion reached after reviewing it together with Dr. Tang and Medical Officer An, and after on-the-spot investigation, it is a certainty, even if this official has the heart to sentence him to death to avenge your mother, but he can't help it." ”

The shopkeeper of Sui cried: "I want to go to see Lord Thorn Shi and hear what his old man has to say." ”

Qian County Order, Dr. Tang, and Medical Officer An glanced at each other, and Qian County Order said slowly: "As a result, we have already gone to the state yamen just now, and we have reported Ouyang Tingshi in person, and Ouyang Tingshi agrees with our judgment and proposed opinions, and let us handle the compensation matter." ”

The shopkeeper of Sui looked at Dr. Tang with tears in his eyes, hoping that he would deny it, but he saw Dr. Tang with a sympathetic look on his face, and nodded slowly: "Yes, this result has been reported to Ouyang Thorn Shi in person, and it has been approved by his old man." ”

Medical Officer An also nodded from the side.

The last bit of hope of the shopkeeper of Sui was dashed, and he cried bitterly, and said to Dr. Tang: "At the beginning, you said that my mother was poisoned and died!" ”

Dr. Tang's expression was a little embarrassed: "This ......, the official is also based on the investigation, and learned that after the old lady took eight aconitum pills, she died in a moment, and then she judged that she died of poisoning, as for whether she was really poisoned, and whether she was poisoned by aconite, this official is not a fool, and he is not good at checking the cause of death, so I really dare not jump to conclusions." - Of course, if you wish, you can have an autopsy be performed. ”

The Tang Dynasty did not prohibit autopsies, and there are also records of autopsies performed by doctors in historical materials. When the shopkeeper heard that the autopsy was going to be autopsied, his face suddenly became ugly, and he asked Dr. Tang, "After the autopsy, can it be investigated?" ”

Dr. Tang twisted his beard, shook his head, and said, "This is not certain, it depends on the ability of the servant." ”

Medical Officer An took Dr. Ni's heavy gift, and naturally he didn't want to make extraneous branches, coughed lightly, and whispered to the shopkeeper Sui: "This county is a rotten drunkard, and it's okay to dig a grave and bury it, and it's not reliable to check the cause of death at all!" Moreover, this person likes to go to the kiln when he is drunk, and flirt with the eldest daughter and the little daughter-in-law or something, which he is very good at, and ......, it is said that this work has also privately humiliated a few female corpses who starved to death in famine and no one restrained! The county magistrate wanted to remove him several times, but there was no suitable candidate in the county, so it was delayed, think about it, let such a person dissect your mother's body, it's really disgusting, don't find out the cause of death when the time comes, but Ling Cijingui's body is ruined, and it doesn't sound good to wear it out! ”

The shopkeeper of Sui was in his heart, and it was this that he was most worried about.

Seeing that he was moved, Medical Officer An hurriedly leaned into his ear and whispered: "I have told you just now that this case has been reported to Lord Ouyang Assassin Shi of the State Mansion, and Lord Assassin Shi also agreed that it was not a murder, but a manslaughter, so there is no way to do it for sure, you better think of it from elsewhere!" ”

Shopkeeper Sui glanced at him, thought about it, and finally nodded slowly, a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then bowed to Qian County and said: "In this case, the villain is all arranged by the eldest master, but can the eldest master delay the time of a stick of incense and then ascend to the court?" ”

Qian Xianling was naturally very happy to see that he had finally accepted the sentence, and he didn't ask him why he delayed a stick of incense, and nodded: "Okay!" After the official burns incense, he ascends to the hall. -- Shopkeeper Sui, wait a while, this official will not say how to make a judgment, you will discuss the issue of compensation on your own, you will ask for as much money as possible, and make a big deal about the loss of the old man's scenery, which can be regarded as worthy of the old man's nurturing grace. ”

"That's all it can be now." The shopkeeper of Sui nodded in agreement with a sad face.

The shopkeeper of Sui came out and told the family members who were waiting outside about it, and the Sui family took the shopkeeper of Sui as the leader, he nodded, and the others naturally did not dare to say anything. One can only accept this fact with tears.

Then, the shopkeeper of Sui called the housekeeper aside again, muttered in a low voice, and the housekeeper kept bowing his head, agreed repeatedly, and then quietly crept into the room where the soaps were resting.

Qian County Ling, Dr. Tang, and Medical Officer An gossiped for a while in the flower hall, and saw that about a stick of incense had passed, and the three of them returned to the lobby.

Qian County Ling was shocked and said: "The two have heard clearly, before the judgment of this case, this official will first try the matter of compensation, plaintiff, are you willing to accept the other party's compensation for losses?" ”

The shopkeeper Sui was very frustrated and muttered, "That depends on how much he can lose." ”

Ni Er knelt on the ground, when he heard this, he was overjoyed, he heard that the Sui family refused to accept compensation, and he was determined to pay for his life, but now it was loosened, I don't know what the reason for the change, under the great joy, he said repeatedly: "I will pay!" Bankrupt family also compensation! Kneeling and crawling, he turned around and said to Dr. Ni on the platform in the lobby, "Big brother, the shopkeeper Sui is willing to accept compensation, you want to find a way to help me compensate!" ”

Doctor Ni was also ecstatic in his heart, his hands and feet trembled, and he hurriedly walked in: "Okay, let's compensate, shopkeeper Sui, how much do you say you want to lose, I will also compensate you for smashing the pot and selling iron!" ”

"Alright, let's talk less about the useless ones." Shopkeeper Sui said coldly, "Let's bring the cash first!" Let me see your sincerity first! ”

"Good!" Doctor Ni subconsciously reached out and touched his body, and the housekeeper came over with the three boxes of treasures, "Master, the old lady said, take this to compensate them first, and see if it is enough." ”

Doctor Ni said: "This is for Zuo Langzhong......"

The housekeeper leaned into Dr. Ni's ear, lowered his voice and said, "Let's take care of this head first." On Zuo Langzhong's side, the old lady said, go back and find a way to return. ”

"Good!" Now that the eyebrows are burned, the Sui family finally promised to compensate, according to the rules, the bitter master is willing to accept compensation, and can pay a lot of compensation, and obtain the other party's forgiveness, as long as it is not a heinous crime, he can generally be spared death. Therefore, it is necessary to impress the other party with a lot of money and obtain the understanding of the other party. glanced at the three boxes of things, and said, "I'm afraid these things are not enough." ”

The housekeeper said, "I'll go and discuss with the old lady again, it seems that the old lady has just sent someone back and brought the land and property deeds." No, it's just these things. ”

"Okay, go!" Dr. Ni anxiously glanced back at the lobby and said in a loud voice, "Wait a while, I'll come when I get something." ”

The shopkeeper of Sui pouted and ignored it.

Soon, the housekeeper of the Ni family came back, holding a brocade box in his hand, and handed it to Dr. Ni with both hands: "This is the title deed of the land and real estate." The old lady said that as long as the second master is saved, the land and real estate will be compensated to them, and as long as there is Huimin Hall, Qingshan will not worry about no firewood. ”

"Good!" Dr. Ni trembled and took the box with the title deed, stacked it with the previous three boxes, carried it into the lobby, came to the Sui shopkeeper, bowed first, then squatted down, put the things on the ground in front of him, and opened them one by one: "Sui shopkeeper, these are a few superb old ginseng ......"

He glanced at it, and suddenly found that there was an old ginseng missing from the box of the old ginseng, and it was the thickest and best one on it. The body couldn't help but tremble, but fortunately, the remaining old ginseng was also very good, and the other party didn't know how many roots there were before, and whether there was one missing. At this time, you can't mess up, hurry up and stabilize your mind and see the situation.
