Chapter 116: You're Playing Tricks
There was a decision here, and Zhou Fu was not idle, not to mention, he really asked him to investigate a lot of things, that is, about Lin Xiaocui, he hurriedly went to find Zhou Lian.
"Miss, I've found out something."
Zhou Lian became interested: "You say." ”
Zhou Fu cautiously glanced at the door, and then lowered his voice and said: "The old slave heard the maid in the house mention that Lin Xiaocui didn't know how to read, and asked them how to write a lot of words before, and they didn't take it seriously and taught them. ”
"What's the word?" Zhou Lian was sitting in danger.
Zhou Fu took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it over: "The old slave specially wrote it down when he investigated, and the eldest lady will take a look." ”
Zhou Lian's face suddenly changed when she saw it, and she couldn't help murmuring: "It's done...... Remuneration...... What do these words mean? She's been bought? Or bribe others? ”
"I don't know." Zhou Fu shook his head and said, "The old slave asked the others, and they all said that they didn't see anything written by her, but she did ask these words. ”
Zhou Lian thought of Lin Xiaocui's temperament, and felt that it was impossible to buy others, but how could someone be bribed to know how to write letters? A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she had a guess.
"You said, could it be that she signed some guarantee, because she couldn't read and couldn't read, so she asked secretly." The more Zhou Lian thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible.
Zhou Fu also slapped his thigh and said, "I think what Miss said makes sense, but if she signs something, she should hide it, right?" ”
Zhou Lian narrowed her eyes slightly: "Yes, I just don't know where she is hiding, Steward Zhou, you go and check, but don't alarm Zhou Mingchang, if you can find it, then everything will be solved."
Zhou Fu also hoped to help Qin Miaomiao clear his grievances as soon as possible, so he naturally agreed: "Don't worry, the old slave will definitely try his best to investigate." ”
"Go ahead, the sooner the better."
……
In the early morning of the next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Luo Sheng came, and as soon as he entered the hospital, he said: "Yishan, I have heard everything about your wife, Boss Ruan, don't worry." ”
How could Nan Xuanye not be worried, but he was calm by nature and didn't like to show his emotions: "Steward Luo, I have to trouble you to go with me today." ”
"What's polite with me?" Luo Sheng didn't think this was a big deal, it was just a gesture, so he waved his hand: "I've already found out, who has your lady treated before, then let's go, hurry up and get all the prescriptions back." ”
Nan Xuanye was naturally in a hurry, so he didn't eat breakfast, said hello to Zhang, and left in a hurry with Luo Sheng.
Both of them are tall and powerful, and they received the prescription without much effort when they went to the farmer's house, and then went straight to the court.
He really didn't want to see his daughter-in-law stay in prison any longer.
Luo Sheng naturally had no opinion, and as he arrived at the court and explained his intentions, the county official seemed to be a little dissatisfied when he heard this: "What other evidence do you have?" Not all of the evidence was conclusive before. ”
Seeing that he was clearly standing on Zhou Mingchang's side, Nan Xuanye didn't have a good impression of him, but he still endured his disgust and calmly presented the prescription: "This is the prescription prescribed by my mother, please take out the previous prescription and check the handwriting." ”
The county magistrate took it and put it aside without even looking at it, but looked suspicious: "Where did you get this?" ”
At this moment, Zhou Mingchang also came in, and arched his hand and said, "My lord, if he finds evidence, then we will check the handwriting, and we can punish the quack doctor who harmed people as soon as possible." ”
"Okay." Since the victim said so, the county magistrate didn't say anything more, and called someone to take out the prescription that was used as evidence.
Nan Xuanye took the prescription and didn't hurry to compare, but said: "Before this, I still have one more thing I want to ask Young Master Zhou, before Boss Ruan's people investigated and found out that the maids in your house went in and out of the medicine shop, and also bought poison to go back, how do you explain this matter?" ”
Zhou Mingchang narrowed his eyes slightly, and immediately said: "My lord, there are so many maids and servants in my house, how do I know which maid it is, and why do I buy medicine?" Can anyone prove that it is really the maid in my house? ”
Seeing his clever words, Nan Xuanye had expected it, and directly brought the owner of the pharmacy up: "He has seen the maid in your house, as long as he recognizes it, he will know who it is." ”
When it came to this, the county official couldn't say anything more, and he couldn't help Zhou Mingchang blatantly, so he sent two people to follow the owner of the pharmacy to Zhou's mansion to recognize people, Luo Sheng was not at ease, so he also followed.
But he came back after a while, and as soon as the maid who was brought back entered the court, he took all the blame on himself: "The slave maid is jealous of Lin Xiaocui's favor from the young master, so she bought poison, and it has nothing to do with anyone." ”
This is good, nothing can be tried, Nan Xuanye glanced at Zhou Mingchang, who seemed to be smiling, and knew that this maid was only afraid that she was pushed out as a substitute for the dead.
Luo Sheng walked up to him and shook his head slightly.
Nan Xuanye understood that this maid couldn't be helped, so he had to put his hope on the prescription, and he put the two prescriptions together: "My lord, please take a closer look at the handwriting on this." ”
Then he looked at it himself, and his face suddenly changed slightly, how could the handwriting of these two squares be exactly the same?
The county magistrate also saw it, and immediately attacked: "This handwriting is clearly from the hand of one person, but you say that this is evidence to prove Qin Miaomiao's innocence, are you playing this official?" ”
"How so?" Nan Xuanye was very puzzled, he had clearly read the prescription that day, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly turned his head to look at Zhou Mingchang, only to see him smile slightly, with a hint of pride between his eyebrows.
Luo Sheng also thought of the mystery, glanced at Nan Xuanye worriedly, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Calm down, don't fall for his plan." ”
Nan Xuanye was indeed a little angry, but he didn't lose his mind, the more anxious he was, the calmer he became: "Don't worry, I know what to do." ”
"Your Excellency." Zhou Mingchang was triumphant: "So far, what else is there to say?" Please convict the murderer as soon as possible. ”
Seeing that he couldn't wait to put Qin Miaomiao to death, Nan Xuanye's big palm tightened slightly, and he said coldly: "My lord, I hope you can give me a few days to investigate it properly." ”
The county magistrate snorted coldly: "If it weren't for Boss Ruan's face, I would have arrested you for the crime of disturbing the court, and put this maid in prison first, so you should leave quickly." ”
Nan Xuanye knew that there would be no result if the entanglement continued, so he had to leave first and walk out of the yamen, Luo Sheng sighed: "I really didn't expect that Mingchang would be prepared this week." ”
"Brother Zhou, Brother Luo." Chen Qi's voice sounded.
"Why are you here?" Nan Xuanye turned around and looked: "Aren't you in the dart game?" ”
"Isn't it reassuring that I went to those farmers and took back all the prescriptions." Chen Qi took out a few prescriptions from his arms: "I don't know if it's useful, I'll give it to you anyway." ”
Nan Xuanye took it and showed gratitude: "Thank you." ”
"You're welcome." Chen Qi waved his hand and said, "By the way, when I went to a farmer's house to collect the prescription, they said that the prescription was lost, but I asked the neighbors, and the neighbors saw that they sold the prescription to the people of the Zhou family, which was two days ago." ”
Nan Xuanye thought of Zhou Mingchang's fearless appearance, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "Two days ago? What is the recipe? ”
"It's a tonic for men."
"Is the patient a strong man?" Nan Xuanye seemed to understand something, and when he saw Chen Qi nodding, he confirmed his conjecture, and gritted his teeth slightly: "This Zhou Mingchang is really cunning." ”
Chen Qi didn't know what was going on, so Luo Sheng explained it to him, and immediately made him angry: "This is too bad, deliberately changed the recipe before us, and made us happy." ”
Nan Xuanye thought for a while and asked, "Can the neighbor come to testify?" ”
Chen Qi shook his head and said: "It's useless, I went to ask that family later, and they didn't admit it, they only said that they didn't need it after they got well, so they threw it away." ”
"In this way, the testimony of the neighbors may not be of much use." Luo Sheng also felt that it was a little tricky.
"You must have received Zhou Mingchang's money." Nan Xuanye instantly understood what was going on, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Let's go back first, this matter has to be considered in the long run." "Let's go first.
