The two talked for only a moment, and after the shopkeeper withdrew, only Zhou Yanchang and Jiang Xian were left in the private room by the window.

Zhou Yanchang showed a disappointed gaze, shook his head at Jiang Xian and said: "This is your classmate who is not successful, his literary talent is not bad, since he entered the academy to study, every time he has rarely ranked second on the red list." He worked on his family relationship and asked many people to recommend him in front of me, but this son was narrow-minded, but I didn't dare to accept it. ”

Jiang Xian saw that Zhou Yanchang finally moved his chopsticks, and he also used them, and asked with interest: "Listen to what the teacher said, that one just now is Zhang Yanyuan, who is second on the red list?" ”

Zhou Yanchang glanced at Jiang Xian, when he was still in the capital a few years ago, he heard that Jiang Xian was very thoughtful at a young age. Just now he listened to Zhang Yanyuan's words, but there was no trace of anger on his face, which shows that the rumors back then were true.

And when he is approaching his old age, he can still accept such a disciple, and he doesn't know if he will contribute to his reputation in the future, or if he will add icing on the cake to himself.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yanchang finally had a smile on his face, and he no longer mentioned Zhang Yanyuan's matter, and the two debated on a topic. By the time it was over, it was already mid-afternoon.

On the court of Yuqing County. A middle-aged man in a dark crimson official uniform stood under a plaque engraved with a mirror hanging high, with a picture of Jiangya mountains and seas behind him. In the picture, a round of red sun is facing his black sand hat, and the sharp gaze looks more and more intimidating under this round of red sun.

is about to ascend to the church, and the soaps in the public hall are standing on both sides with water and fire sticks. Behind him are two signs with gold trim on a white background, and the words "Silence" and "Avoidance" are written in solemn black letters.

He looked at it for a while, and the "mighty" sound of the soaps sounded in his ears, and then he lifted his official robe and walked to the table and sat down.

This kind of case, as a four-grade inspector, he originally didn't want to come. But yesterday his brother begged to come to the door, he wanted to see if the people who dared to provoke their Zhang family had the heart of a bear and a leopard.

Soon, the suspect was brought up.

He stretched out his head with great interest to look, but he was a young man in his teens, and he couldn't see anything next to him except for a rather delicate face. He lost interest all of a sudden, picked up the lid of the cup, leisurely flicked the floating tea leaves, and motioned to Liu County Ling on the side to start the trial.

The family members of the deceased wept profusely: "In addition to ascites, where is there any illness next to my father?" If it weren't for the poison of the Five Flavors Medicinal Zhai, how could he have died? ”

Liu Xian Ling glanced at the patrol envoy, then looked at Chen Xian, and his voice was a little softer: "Chen Accounting, the shopkeeper of the county pharmacy Baicaotang said that you have always been responsible for the five flavors of medicine and medicine. What do you have to say about this? ”

Although Chen Xian knelt, his waist was straight: "Although Baicaotang has given a batch of problematic medicinal materials, when our medical hall grabs the medicine, we will check it again." There is generally no mistake. ”

To tell the truth, Liu Xianling believed Chen Xian's words. But now the inspector is in court, and it is said that when the emperor sent him, he gave him the right to be dismissed. Therefore, he had no choice but to look at the patrol envoy who had been careless.

The inspector smiled and said, "Above the court, how can you deny it in every way?" I have invited Hu Xueyan, the first seat of Rongchun Hall, to appraise it, so you can't admit it! Come, give me ten rods! ”

The amount of water and fire sticks in Soap Li's hand was not light, and Chen Xian couldn't kneel anymore after ten sticks.

Without waiting for Liu Xianling to speak, the inspector asked again: "You little doctor Shen has excellent medical skills, it is impossible not to know that there is a problem with the medicinal materials." Is it the black money she makes by selling it for good or bad? ”

Chen Xian's heart sank, and he hurriedly admitted: "The medicine in the medical hall was all taken by me, and when Baicaotang came to inform me, I was indeed negligent for a while. If there's a problem, I'm to blame. ”

The patrol envoy sneered: "Still don't recognize it? Is it you or Dr. Shen? You have an account office and earn a tael of silver a month, so you must not have the courage to do so. In this way, it is you little doctor Shen who seeks money and kills him! Call me! ”

Having said this, Chen Xian didn't know what this inspector meant. He had always heard that Liu Xianling had a good relationship with Shen Wangxin, so he glanced back at him, but who knew that Liu Xianling looked at him helplessly and didn't say a word.

When Dr. Hu arrived, Chen Xian's pants had already oozed blood, and the person had fainted. The people of the county government hurriedly pulled him here, not to save people, but to let him wake people up and continue the trial.

When he woke people up, his whole hand was shaking.

The inspector was still sitting high in the hall, and threw the startled wood to the ground, so frightened that Liu Xianling suddenly stood up from his seat.

The inspector glanced at it slowly and methodically, and said, "Say, is it your little doctor Shen who is trying to kill him!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a stick came down again.

Liu Xianling was shocked and couldn't help but plead with him: "Lord Zhang, according to the laws of our Great Zhou, you can't easily beat people to death or maim them in court. If he continues to fight, I am afraid that he will not be able to stand it. ”

The inspector glanced at him without smiling, pointed to the stick in Soap Li's hand, and asked, "Does Lord Liu know what this water and fire stick is called?" The water and fire stick is the name of our Great Zhou, and the former dynasty called this a killing stick. The water and fire sticks of the whole Zhou are black at the top and red at the bottom, round at the top and flat at the bottom, and the tail end is also wrapped with iron sheet. This design is to let them know what it means to not tolerate private feelings in front of the court, and they must not bend the law for personal gain. Lord Liu, do you say? ”

Liu Xianling's face suddenly sank.

It seems that this patrol is targeting Chen Xian so much today in order to kill his own face first. He took office in Yuqing County, and there were many irregularities in the Zhang family, which were all rejected by him. Could it be that the Zhang family has been dissatisfied with him for a long time?

"I'm just a kind reminder." Liu Xianling also lost his temper and asked rhetorically, "I don't know what Lord Zhang means by this?" ”

The inspector glanced at Liu Xianling coldly, took a sip of the teacup, and hid a knife in his smile: "It's just an ordinary case, why should Lord Liu be in a hurry?" You know, in front of the saint, no matter how big it is, it is not called a thing. In my opinion, this is the end of this case. ”

As soon as his words fell, Chen Xian suddenly raised his head and roared loudly: "Why? Lang Lang Qiankun, Zhao Zhao Sun and Moon, this case has not been investigated, why should we be convicted? ”

The inspector slapped the teacup in his hand on the table, and the tea splashed all over his hands: "You are the one who seeks money and kills?" ”

"It's not me!"

"That's the heart of forgetfulness! There is no one in the hospital hall except you, it is her. The inspector looked at Chen Xian coldly, "If you don't recruit her, I will arrest her in again for interrogation, I'm not afraid that she won't recruit her!" ”

Chen Xian was stunned for a moment, and his neck hung down suddenly: "It's me, I forgot what Baicaotang explained." I also caught the medicine that day, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. ”

The inspector smiled: "I said earlier, do you still need to suffer from this flesh and skin?" ”
