Jiang Tingyuan's gaze at Lin Xiaowan was full of curiosity and appreciation.

Lin Xiaowan first picked up the bottle of her own ointment on the table, then took out a new bottle from the cloth pocket and opened it, raised the mouths of the two porcelain bottles flat, turned around slowly, and then said: "The amount of my ointment in each bottle is about the same, you can see this directly." ”

Then he took out an empty porcelain vase from his cloth pocket and placed it on the square table. took out some of the ointment that he opened, the amount was basically the same as the amount when he asked Minglan just now, and said, "I asked Miss Minglan just now, how much she uses every time, right?" ”

Lin Xiaowan looked at Minglan again.

Minglan nodded and responded, "It's true." ”

Lin Xiaowan smiled back, and then put the ointment she took out in the empty bottle. Then take out about the same amount of ointment, put it in an empty bottle, and so on. It's just that every time you take it out, you have to show it to the people around you, especially Minglan .

It will only be placed in the empty bottle after seeing her nod.

Feng Qingquan didn't know what kind of medicine Lin Xiaowan was selling in the gourd, but he could guess what she must be proving, and stopped: "Lin Xiaowan, where are you in court?" What is the god babbling here? ”

Lin Xiaowan was not in a hurry or impatient, and responded indifferently: "I'll know when Master Feng waits, don't worry." ”

Feng Qingquan looked at Jiang Tingyuan, "My lord, look at her ......"

"Wait." Jiang Tingyuan said coldly.

Lin Xiaowan kept taking it ten times before stopping. He compared the remaining ointments with those given by Minglan, and then presented them to Jiang Tingyuan, and said at the same time: "Lord Jiang, please see if the ointment in the two porcelain bottles is about the same." ”

Jiang Tingyuan carefully compared it, and then handed it to Feng Qingquan. He said: "I see that this is the case, and I ask Master Feng to take a look at it too." ”

Feng Qingquan wanted to say no, but the thing was in his hand, and he could see at a glance that it was indeed similar, and he couldn't talk nonsense with his eyes open, so he had to say, "I look the same." ”

After that, Lin Xiaowan said: "Every time I take a spoonful just now, I will confirm with Miss Minglan whether it is similar to her daily dosage. That is to say, the same amount of ointment should be used ten times, and the balance will be like the amount of ointment in the porcelain bottle now. ”

"And I also asked, Miss Minglan uses it several times a day. Her answer was once. ”

"In other words, Miss Minglan should have started using the ointment ten days ago."

After stating like this, Lin Xiaowan looked at Minglan and asked, "Miss Minglan just said that she can't remember clearly, so do you remember it now?" ”

Minglan replied a little nervously: "Almost......"

Feng Qingquan couldn't help but ask, "Does this have anything to do with it?" ”

Jiang Tingyuan also had doubts in his heart, what could this prove? What exactly does Lin Xiaowan want to say?

Listening to Feng Qingquan's question, Lin Xiaowan turned her gaze, looked at him and said, "Master Feng, you have to change your mind in such a hurry, otherwise you will ......"

Lin Xiaowan didn't say the next words, just looked at Feng Qingquan and grinned.

Feng Qingquan, who was smiling, was a little flustered and asked her, "Otherwise, what?" ”

"It's hard to say." Lin Xiaowan laughed twice, and then said, "I'll move on to the case." ”

"Isn't that confusing?" Lin Xiaowan asked with an inophable smile, and then she picked up Minglan ointment and said, "The first thing I did just now was to look at this porcelain bottle. Others don't see a clue, but I can. ”

Lin Xiaowan paused, and then continued: "The position of the mouth of this bottle is engraved with some small characters, which can be regarded as my invention. Meaning, it's probably the day it was sold. Ordinary people don't care when they see it, even if they do, they can't understand it. ”

As she spoke, Lin Xiaowan presented the porcelain vase to Jiang Tingyuan's table, and then explained: "The small characters on the mouth of this porcelain vase refer to the yellow calendar day five days ago. In other words, the bottle was sold five days ago. ”

"In other words, this bottle of ointment is actually not the one used by Minglan ." Jiang Tingyuan answered.

"Yes." Lin Xiaowan nodded.

However, the people who eat melons don't understand what it means. Someone asked, "Miss Xiaowan, you can be clearer." ”

"yes, why didn't someone else use it themselves? This ointment speaks for itself. ”

……

After asking, Lin Xiaowan couldn't answer, and in the end, Jiang Tingyuan maintained the situation.

Lin Xiaowan continued: "Another thing worth mentioning is that I didn't sell a bottle of ointment in that market ten days ago. The things I bought at the market that day were all sold by my fellow countryman named Liu Cui. It's the same guy I mentioned last time in court. ”

"As I said, her ointment may go wrong. And at that time, to avoid confusion, I didn't sell it. Many people know about this. ”

Jiang Tingyuan asked, "Then why can't it be that you sold it before?" ”

Lin Xiaowan explained: "Lord Jiang, you can compare the color of the newly made ointment and the color that has been left for some time. The more time passes, the more yellow the ointment will be. If it is an ointment half a month ago, the color will be much darker. And, if you use it all the time, you won't use it so much in the bottle. ”

"It can also be that it has not been opened, and it was only started ten days ago." Feng Qingquan interjected.

Looking at Lin Xiaowan's appearance as if he was holding the victory, he felt unhappy. was ready to rectify Lin Xiaowan, but it backfired.

Lin Xiaowan looked at Feng Qingquan like an idiot and said, "Master Feng, as I said just now, the mark on this bottle indicates that this bottle of medicine was bought at the last bazaar. ”

Feng Qingquan touched his nose and stopped talking.

"I think it's better to let Minglan take out what she really used." Lin Xiaowan said.

The lie was exposed, and Minglan had already panicked. But he still remembered the words he had been given, and he didn't spit out, and still said: "This is what I have always used, and there is nothing else." ”

"Don't cry if you don't see the coffin......" Lin Xiaowan sighed, her eyes fell on the stick that was thrown aside, but she immediately dispelled this idea.

Whether it's right or wrong, it's not advisable to bend into a trick.

Feng Qingquan knew Minglan's identity, and he was embarrassed at this time. I want to help Minglan exonerate, but the words have come to this point, and there is nothing to be done. And Minglan is still dead, and the duck has a hard mouth. In the past, it was simple to deal with, and as soon as the torture equipment was on, no matter how tough the man was, it was not hard.

But what about Minglan to do it......

Jiang Tingyuan himself was extremely disgusted with torture, he had a cold face and asked, "Minglan, the evidence is conclusive, and it is useless for you to quibble." I advise you to invite it truthfully, and it is not a big crime for you to just slander others. ”

Minglan wanted to say, but after all, she still didn't say it, bowed her head and kowtowed, and couldn't afford it for a long time.

The meaning is already self-evident.

Lin Xiaowan also breathed a sigh of relief, but she still couldn't figure it out, she asked Minglan: "Why do you want to change the ointment to a newly bought?" ”

But Minglan only lowered her head and didn't speak.

At this time, after the court, Mrs. Yong'an Hou glared at Chunlan angrily and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Chunlan knew that something was wrong, but she didn't dare to hide it, and said truthfully: "Madam, blame me for being clumsy and breaking the bottle of ointment originally used for Minglan . ”

"Ma'am, it's my fault......"

Mrs. Yong'an Hou was angry, and kept pointing, "you" for a long time, and she didn't say the words behind.

Chunlan said timidly: "Madam, I didn't know that this Lin Xiaowan would make a mark on the bottle...... Or this village woman is too treacherous. ”

"If you are stupid, do you still blame others for being smart? Mrs. Yong'an Hou said angrily, she really wanted to kick people away.

But even kicking people to death won't help. Mrs. Yong'an Hou didn't want to look at it anymore, so she went around directly from behind. Chunlan followed behind, looking behind from time to time, and when she was about to go out, Chunlan asked, "Madam, are we leaving?" ”

Mrs. Yong'an Hou snorted coldly and did not speak.

Chunlan was worried, and asked again: "Can Minglan still be there?" Don't you wait for her? ”

Mrs. Yong'an Hou said awe-inspiringly: "What is the use of me keeping such a stupid subordinate?" Remember, so do you......"

The carriage left, and Minglan in the public court didn't know that she was abandoned like this.

At this time, Minglan faced Lin Xiaowan's question, and didn't know how to answer. After being asked three times in a row, Minglan said, "I don't know ......"

I don't know?

Lin Xiaowan was surprised, how could she not know what happened to her?

She couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you know?" ”

"I didn't do it...... Minglan said timidly, "I'm just a maid who can't be favored, and they will do whatever I want me to do." They also asked me to apply the ointment, and they also asked me to sue. ”

"Who are they?" Lin Xiaowan asked with a frown.

However, before Minglan could speak, he heard a loud shout.

I saw Feng Qingquan roaring angrily: "Lin Xiaowan! This is the public court, not your home, not a place where you can do whatever you want. The case is over, you kneel down and wait for the verdict to be announced, don't be wrong! ”

If you continue to ask, this Minglan will have to say everything.

Let many people know that a dignified lady of the Hou Mansion deliberately made things difficult for a little maid and a peasant girl? Where is Yong'an Hou's face still gone?

This shout directly scared Minglan out.

Lin Xiaowan looked at Minglan and knew that she couldn't ask anything more, so she simply helped her up and said to Jiang Tingyuan: "Master Jiang, Minglan Xiao...... The girl needs to be healed, and this doesn't affect me, so just forget it, right? ”

Jiang Tingyuan nodded: "Whatever you want." ”

Lin Xiaowan smiled: "Adults are wise! ”

But the people behind him advised Lin Xiaowan: "Miss Xiaowan, don't be so kind." She's going to hurt you, and you're still going to help her? ”

"Yes, Miss Xiaowan, this matter can't just be left at that."

"And that one who sells fake medicine, you have to ask Master Jiang to arrest her!"

Lin Xiaowan said, "Hey...... It's a serious matter. ”

Then he looked at Jiang Tingyuan and said, "My lord, you also heard it, this is the voice of the people." My fellow, I'm afraid you're going to have to send someone to catch it. ”
