Chapter 39: The Unexpected Man
"Sanrisan is composed of three different flavors, peony chi, ginseng dan, and qiongchuan, each of which is not poisonous when released alone, but together it will form highly poisonous." This is what Uncle Zhong told him in a tavern where Zhou Zimu was.
Since this medicine is so special, the person who bought three drugs in one go must be a prisoner.
Zhou Zimu sent someone to secretly watch outside a tavern to see if Du Jiu'er had any contact with the people behind the scenes.
He scared Du Jiu'er before he came out, Du Jiu'er was scared, she might go to the person behind her. When the time comes, you can catch them all.
Now he was going to the pharmacy in Yangcheng to find someone who could buy the three medicines at the same time.
After spending two days searching all the pharmacies in Yangcheng, he finally found a store that sold three medicines at the same time.
It's a pity that the man deliberately covered his face, and the guy in the store didn't see his face clearly. All I know is that he came with a woman.
Zhou Zimu took out Du Jiu'er's portrait, and the other party immediately recognized it.
"That's right! That's her. "Dude's words are categorical.
Jin Se spent an unforgettable night in the Yamen Prison. Lying on the bed in the cell, she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
I don't know if the old lady's poison has been cured, whether Yuyan and Lantian will misunderstand me.
The tavern didn't know what was going on. Who poisoned the old lady and blamed me?
On the second day, Qian Bao came to visit her in the cell, afraid that Jinse would not have anything to eat in the cell, so he came with a lot of food.
"Shopkeeper, the master has come to see you!" Seeing that Jin Se's cell was clean and spotless, Qian Bao felt that Jin Se was in a fake prison.
Through the wooden fence, Jin Se touched Qian Bao's little head and smiled happily: "I usually don't hurt you in vain, and you know to come and see me." ”
"Old Uncle Zhong asked me to come, he was worried that you wouldn't be able to eat well." Qian Bao handed over the food box.
The jailer on the side hurriedly stepped forward and opened the door to his cell.
Jin Se smiled: "Let you worry, Zimu asked someone to bring me food." ”
There was already a food box on the table in the cell, and Qian Bao opened it and said, "Yes, the food you ate in the cell was better than the one sent by the master." ”
He casually placed the food box on the table.
"How's the tavern business?" Jin Se is not worried about his own safety, but is more worried that the tavern's business will be affected.
Qian Bao's little face was full of unwillingness: "It's not good, those who lost the bet threw fire in the tavern and threw eggs and stones into the store." Old Uncle Zhong closed the door. It's not you, but they're to blame on you. ”
"It's okay, justice is in the hearts of the people. Wait until I go out and grab all those throwing eggs and give them an egg bath. "Jinse has a good mentality and jokes.
Qian Bao couldn't laugh: "It's rumored outside that it's your poison, and the catchers will search your room for three days." Tomorrow, Governor Zhao will open a court to hear your case. He pursed his mouth and tried to hold back his crying, "Sister Jinse, aren't you worried?" ”
It was rare for Qian Bao to call his sister, and Jin Se held him in his arms: "Don't cry, don't cry, I believe that your brother Zhou will be able to return my innocence." ”
"Who cried, Ye didn't cry!" Qian Bao pushed Jin Se away and turned his head away.
"By the way, do you know how the Lan family is doing now?" Jinse was concerned about the old lady's situation.
Qian Bao shook his head: "When I came out, I only heard that Old Madam Lan's poison has been detoxified, but she is still recuperating after being frightened." ”
"That's good." As long as people are okay, they are lucky.
After Qian Bao left, Jin Se's cell ushered in another unexpected guest.
"Yuyan, why are you here?" Jin Se was pleasantly surprised.
"I'll bring you something to eat." Blue Yuyan laughs, followed by Fluttershy. Fluttershy hangs her head, unable to see clearly.
There are already two food boxes on the table, plus the jade cigarette, a total of three boxes.
"You all like to bring me food." Jin Se was distressed, she couldn't finish eating so much in a day.
"Who called you a glutton?" Yuyan covered her mouth and smiled.
Jin Se also laughed: "Your mother's old old man is willing to let you out?" ”
She agreed. I ......" Yuyan just chuckled.
"Miss, she ran out by force." Fluttershy can't help but cry out, and she kneels in front of Jinse and begs, "Miss Jinse, please persuade my young lady that she threatened the janitor with a knife for coming out to see you. If this continues, she will be punished again. ”
Only then did Jin Se see a bloody mark on Yuyan's neck: "Are you crazy?" ”
"Jinse, you can be whipped by my mother for protection, and I can sneak out to see you. Now is your most difficult time, I must come out to see you! Yuyan disagreed.
Clenching Yuyan's hands, Jin Se choked and said, "You are a stupid girl, I am fine in the cell." What if your mother finds out when you come out? Go back! I'm fine. ”
Yuyan was still in the cell to talk to Jinse, and Jinse pushed her out: "Go back obediently, I'll go out." ”
In a blink of an eye, it was time to try the Jinse poisoning case. There were a lot of onlookers at the yamen early in the morning.
Governor Zhao's surprise was patted: "Take the prisoner!" ”
Jin Se was taken to the lobby, and to her surprise, Du Jiu'er was also caught here. Zhou Zimu gave her a reassuring look.
Although Du Jiu'er kept shouting that it wasn't her, the people in the yamen pretended not to hear.
Du Jiu'er knelt on the ground, Jin Se was about to kneel, and Governor Zhao stopped her: "Miss Zhuang, just stand." ”
The head of the Lan family was also invited to the yamen, which was related to the Lan family, and Governor Zhao felt that it was necessary for the people of the Lan family to listen to it.
"Lord Zhao, why doesn't she have to kneel, I want to kneel?" Du Jiu'er was unwilling.
"You'll find out why in a moment." Governor Zhao did not answer her.
"What crime did I commit and why did I come here?" Du Jiu'er is still resisting.
Governor Zhao said in a loud voice: "The crime you have committed is heinous. When you first came to Yangcheng, it was Niu Xingang's family who rescued you, and Miss Zhuang kindly took you in a tavern. But instead of being grateful, you also assassinated and framed her. ”
"My lord, I didn't go into the big kitchen, I didn't do it. Aunt Niu said that it was Zhuang Jinse who entered the big kitchen. Du Jiu'er shouted injustice.
"Miss Zhuang, when did you enter the kitchen?" Zhou Zimu asked.
Although he didn't know Zhou Zimu's intentions, Jin Se still replied: "I entered after lunch, and after that, I took a nap and never entered again." ”
"I asked Aunt Niu about it, and she heard it in the afternoon. In other words, what Aunt Niu heard was not Miss Zhuang at all. Zhou Zimu took out an object from his arms: "Do you recognize this?" ”
Du Jiu'er glanced at it and hurriedly shook his head: "I don't know." ”
"This is the abalone and 5 taels of gold that I turned over from your room. You said you didn't go into the big kitchen, so how do you get this abalone. Zhou Zimu took out the physical evidence of abalone, but Du Jiu'er was still stubborn.
She cried and said, "This is a little woman who bought it, can't it?" ”
The pear blossoms crying with the beauty brought rain, which deceived many people present. The people outside the yamen were talking.
Zhou Zimu was unmoved: "You said you bought it, how much did you buy it?" Where to buy it. ”
"In ......" Du Jiu'er was speechless when asked, she hadn't bought it at all and didn't know where to buy it. She only stole it when she heard that Niu Xingang said that abalone was valuable.
Governor Zhao interrupted her impatiently: "We have found a store where the prisoner buys medicine. Now as long as you identify it, you can make it clear, and bring a witness! ”
The guy from the pharmacy was brought up, he looked around, and finally knelt in front of Governor Zhao.
"Tell me about the prisoner's purchase of medicine that day." Governor Zhao said softly.
The man knelt on the ground and said loudly, "On that day, a man and a woman came to my store to buy medicine. They bought a total of three flavors of medicine, the man covered his face with a hat, and the woman was present. ”
"Who is it? You point her out. "Governor Zhao is ready to close the case.
The guy raised his hand and pointed at the prisoner: "It's her!" ”
Jin Se couldn't help but exclaim: "Huh? ”
Why me?
The sudden accident caught Zhou Zimu unexpectedly, and he obviously confirmed with the pharmacy guy that the person who went to the pharmacy was Du Jiu'er.
At this time, Du Jiu'er's tears were long gone, the handkerchief covered her face, and her mouth was sneering.
Zhuang Jinse, I'll see how you die.
It's clear that someone has already bought the guys at the pharmacy in advance. The people outside the yamen shouted that Zhuang Jinse should be severely punished.
A huge sense of helplessness poured into Jinse's heart, she hadn't done it, why did everyone say it was her.
Holding back the tears, Jin Se bit his mouth and looked at Zhou Zimu.
Zhou Zimu looked at Jin Se's eyes, and at this moment he realized the weakness of his strength. Obviously, he is the regent of the dynasty, and he obviously has supreme power.
Now she can only watch her own girl, who is falsely accused of being in deep trouble.
He was determined to make a change!
"My lord, there is another witness. Please give me some time and let me bring him. Zhou Zimu clasped his hands into fists and pleaded.
"Don't look for it, I'm here!" A gruff voice came in from outside.
The person who surprised Jin Se was actually Gao Xiong!
Zhuang Jinse never imagined that it would be Gao Xiong to testify to himself.
I saw Gao Xiong squeeze through the crowd and strode into the yamen, with a person on his shoulder. The man had his eyes closed, and he appeared to be in a coma.
"My lord, I have something to say!"
