A deep squeak sounded, and the huge black lacquer yamen slowly opened. Two columns of officials rushed in from outside the door with the sound of "Tengteng", and Zhu Xianling, who was dressed in a light green official robe, walked out of the back office. The people who came to watch instantly blocked the water around the yamen. Qin Xuan and the others also squeezed for a long time before they came to the front.

Zhu Xianling has a fat head and big ears, and at first glance he is a pampered and careless person. He sat upright on a chair in the hall. mentioned the startling wood, "snap", and said: "Shengtang-"

The two rows of officials stood majestically and shouted in unison: "Might--Might-"

After the court was silent inside and outside, Zhu Xianling said solemnly: "Take the plaintiff and a cadre to the court!" ”

Qian Ruhai, Xiaocui and others had bracelets and anklets, their faces were haggard, they were wearing prison uniforms, and they were pressed to the court by several officials. Song Yimin also walked slowly from outside the hall, kneeling under the hall with Xiaocui and others.

Zhu Xianling opened his mouth and said slowly: "On August 28, the tenth year of Zhenguan, the Song family drug case is now open. Xiaocui, the official asked you, how was Song Liang's poisoned? ”

Xiao Cui glanced back at Qin Xuan, saw Qin Xuan nodding, turned to look at Zhu Xian Ling, and said sadly: "Xiao Cui doesn't know!" ”

Zhu Xianling glared angrily and said sharply: "Hmph! I found arsenic in your room, what is your explanation? ”

Xiao Cui sobbed non-stop, her eyes were soaked with tears, and she replied with a sobbing voice: "Madame likes to eat sweets and dried fruits, so there are rats in the house, and arsenic is prepared for the removal of rats." ”

Zhu Xianling turned to look at Song Yimin. "Song Yimin, tell me, is Xiaocui's words true?"

When Song Yimin thought of Zhu Hongwen, his heart was furious, he adjusted his breathing, and said coldly: "There have indeed been rats in the cheap inner room!" ”

Zhu Xianling asked in a deep voice: "Xiaocui, then why did you say that Qian Ruhai instructed you to poison before?" ”

Xiao Cui looked at Zhu Xian Ling in surprise and defended, "I didn't." On that day, my wife died of poison, I thought it was caused by the lobster sent by the Qian family, so when I was interrogated in prison, I said, "Xu was done by Qian Ruhai", as for why it became what the adults said, I don't know! ”

The crowd outside the hall whispered and kept discussing.

"Looking at the appearance of Zhu County's order, I'm afraid I haven't found anything!"

"That's it! Or how can it be famous for "ten cases and nine injustices"! ”

"Hey, keep your voice down, be careful of getting into trouble!"

Everyone chattered non-stop, and Zhu Xianling couldn't stop slandering: Hong Wen said that someone would come out to solve the siege, I thought about solving the case quickly today and being able to correct my name, why didn't I show up?

Finally, Qin Xuan shouted: "My lord, I know how the Song Liang clan died!" ”

Zhu Xianling's eyes can be said to be long-awaited, Hong Wen said that the person who broke the siege is probably this person, and a smile appeared on his face: "This official is an official, and he has always been open to speech and brainstorming. This son, then you can come in and talk about it! ”

Everyone scoffed, and secretly said in their hearts: "Still open up your way to brainstorm? I think you're incompetent! ”

Qin Xuan took a few steps into the public hall and said, "My lord, before explaining the cause of Song Liang's death, I need to call a dog certificate. ”

Zhu Xianling almost collapsed, and asked loudly in a cold sweat on his face, "What?" Dog license? ”

There was another commotion among the people outside the hall.

"Dog license? Isn't this boy stupid? ”

"That is, I have only heard human witnesses, how can I get a dog testimony, can a dog still testify?"

Qin Xuan still stood with his sleeves brushed and smiled at Zhu Xianling. "Yes, if you can't explain the crime of Song Liang, your lord can punish you for the crime of blasphemy."

Zhu Xianling steadied himself and said calmly: "Then call your dog certificate to the court." ”

Qin Xuan signaled, and several subordinates of the Song Mansion brought a wild dog, a basket of oranges, hawthorn, and a bucket of lobsters into the hall. The wild dog was probably hungry for a long time, and when he saw the lobster rushing hard, the reins were tight, and Song Ping, who was holding it, was almost pulled away.

Qin Xuan took a step forward and said to Zhu Xianling: "My lord, the hawthorn, oranges, and lobsters found below are all non-toxic, and the adults can order them to come forward for inspection." ”

Zhu County's order, who didn't know what was going on, was also interested at this time, and in the puzzled expressions of everyone inside and outside the hall, he smiled and said, "Chuan Zhou came forward to check." ”

Zhou Yanzuo, about forty years old, has angular cheeks and is extraordinarily energetic. After a meticulous inspection of silver needles and other things, he replied to Zhu Xian Ling: "Lord Qiqi, they are all non-toxic things. ”

Qin Xuan raised his hand and saluted: "Thank you Zhou Yanzuo." "Instead, he made a gesture of please to Song Ping." Old Song, please pound the hawthorn and oranges into juice! Taking the reins of the wild dog from Song Ping's hand, Qin Xuan slowly walked towards the lobster, and took it out of the barrel one by one and threw it to the wild dog. The Zhu family found a wild dog that had been hungry for a long time and ate the lobster cleanly like a wolf. After Song Ping put down the pounded juice, the wild dog drank it with a coo.

Zhu Xianling and everyone in the hall felt strange, and couldn't understand what Qin Xuan was going to do. Qin Xuan saw that the wild dogs were full of food and drink, and said to Zhu Xianling: "My lord, maybe you have to wait for some time." Adults can order some tea and so on. ”

As time passed, everyone, including Zhu Xianling, began to be a little impatient. Gradually, the wild dog began to roar as hard as he could, and then his voice became weak, until he finally vomited black blood and died. Everyone and Zhu Xianling were dumbfounded, and their hearts were even more confused.

The corners of Qin Xuan's mouth hooked, and then his demeanor was calm, and his voice was extremely clear, explaining: "I saw in an ancient book that lobsters and sour fruits when eaten together will produce arsenic toxicity. Mild cases have diarrhea, and severe cases are poisoned and killed. ”

"Is this really the case?" Zhu Xian Ling obviously hadn't relented yet, and asked in disbelief, pointing at the wild dog.

"Your Excellency may wish to order Zhou Cheng to make an inspection, why this wild dog died, you will know." Qin Xuan raised his hand and pointed at Zhou Yanzuo, and said to Zhu County.

Zhou Yanzuo was already surprised when he watched the wild dog slowly die, and without waiting for Zhu County's order, he squatted down and began to inspect with a knife and needle. After a moment, he said with a look of astonishment: "Lord Qiqi, this dog was indeed poisoned and died, and it is no different from arsenic toxicity!" ”

People inside and outside the hall all felt that what Qin Xuan did was divine, mysterious and mysterious. Zhu County's order is even more like an out-of-body spirit.

Qin Xuan was very satisfied with everyone's performance, and coughed and said, "My lord, the death of the Song Liang clan was caused by eating a lot of sour fruits after eating a lot of lobsters. Looking down, there is no murderer in this case, so everyone in the court should be acquitted! ”

Zhu Xian Ling came back to his senses, pretending to be calm and said: "Well, after thinking about this official, what this son said is true, this case was caused by an accident, and several people in the hall were acquitted!" ”

Qian Ruyu happily rushed in to help Qian Ruhai up, Xiaocui couldn't stop kowtowing to Qin Xuan and thanking him, everyone outside the hall applauded continuously, and Qin Xuan enjoyed it very much. But reason told him that he should leave as soon as possible.

The main hall of the Qian Mansion. Qian Ruhai, who had just been released, changed into a brocade robe and sat in the hall. On a chair next to her sat the old lady Qian with a happy expression. When her beloved son returned home without guilt, Mrs. Qian was naturally not very happy. Qin Xuan, Song Yimin, and Qian Ruyu were on both sides.

Old Madam Qian rarely showed extra enthusiasm and courtesy to Qin Xuan, and smiled. "The dog's ability to be safe and sound this time is all due to Qin Gongzi's work. Come on, bring me the generous gift I prepared for Gongzi Qin! ”

Hearing this, Qin Xuan scolded for a while, isn't this old woman very mean, and there are generous gifts! There was a slight smile on his face.

A maid in a plain dress carried a plate of gold and stepped in. Qin Xuan turned his head and looked at the tray, how could he have a ten catty! Qin Xuan, who had never seen so much gold, could not help but show a hint of joy.

Old Madam Qian noticed Qin Xuan's subtle expression, and said with a smile: "Master Qin, this is a hundred taels of gold, please smile!" I heard that Zhang Lao said that you are going to enter Beijing, I will send you a carriage, and you can take the gold! ”

When Qin Xuan heard this, his heart trembled slightly, as if he understood something. With a sneer, he returned to normal and bowed. "Mrs. Qian, this time is really polite. Yu'er has been promised to Zaixia, and another hundred taels of gold have been given, and I am very frightened in my heart. ”

Old Madam Qian was still smiling, waved her hand and said, "Gongzi Qin is really joking, Yu'er's matter is just a joke, it can't be taken seriously!" After a slight pause, he continued: "Besides, Qin Gongzi also said before that it is not a little girl to help the Qian family this time. ”

Qin Xuan smiled and shook his head, and said, "Hey, what I said before was a joke, Ling Yuan was dignified and virtuous, how could she not be tempted by it?" ”

Old Madam Qian had a trace of displeasure on her face, and said coldly: "Master Qin, still take the gold and leave quickly." ”

Qian Ruyu on the side seemed to be standing calmly in place, but in fact, she had mixed feelings in her heart, the helplessness of her mother's words, and the joy of Qin Xuan's insistence, she was entangled endlessly and uncomfortable.

Qin Xuan was also dissatisfied in his heart, and said coldly: "Old Madam Qian, there is no need for gold, I will leave with Ling Yuan as soon as possible!" ”

Seeing that Qin Xuan was so uninteresting, Old Madam Qian glared at Qin Xuan angrily. "Gongzi Qin, please weigh your own strength, are you worthy of my Qian family?"

I just had a relationship with Yu'er, and we have agreed not to give up, you will give me this play? Qin Xuan couldn't stop cursing in his mind, and said in a cold tone: "Old Madam Qian, do you have to do something that goes back on your word?" ”

Mrs. Qian was furious and took the case. "Hmph, you are a poor scholar, you want to climb my Qian family, you are really shameless and delusional!"

Song Yimin on the side was very dissatisfied with Mrs. Qian's move. "Auntie, since you have already agreed beforehand, how can you do this at this time. Qin Gongzi has a lot of knowledge, and he will definitely get ahead one day! ”

Qian Ruhai also had a good feeling for Qin Xuan, and followed Song Yimin's words and then persuaded: "Mother, the child can be safe and sound this time, Qin Gongzi has really made a lot of efforts, since he has promised Qin Gongzi, then it is better for Yu'er and Qin Gongzi to agree!" ”

Qian Ruyu was already in love with Qin Xuan, and unconsciously stood on Qin Xuan's side in her heart, and it was not suitable to speak at this moment, she was anxious in her heart, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.

Qin Xuan saw Qian Ruyu crying, and immediately broke out, his face was red, his expression was firm, and his tone was unquestionable: "Old Madam Qian, since you can save Ling Lang in the future, you can also destroy the Qian family." Please think twice, don't do anything you regret! After speaking, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Qian Ruyu and left directly.
