Chapter 118: The Child's Father
The car was shabby, and Li Henian could only simply help Luo Luo wipe his wounds, bandage them simply, and then change into clean clothes.
"Otherwise, I'll go and plead with Master Cheng, saying that you have been severely punished and can't be tossed anymore, so don't go to court yet."
Li Henian looked at Luo Luo's bloodless face, and was somewhat distressed.
Luo Luo squeezed out a smile at her.
"Let the crane girl worry. I'm a doctor myself, and I know that it's just some skin trauma, and it's not a big deal. But Qin Ye was cunning, his sister was kind back then, and when she remembered that he had just lost her mother, she gave him some silver to let him go. If you don't cut the grass and don't eradicate the roots, there will be endless troubles in the future, today there is Lord Cheng to try the case, Sun Huaping to report, Huo Xiaofan to testify, I must explain the death of Wang Blacksmith. If he doesn't admit his sin, I don't feel at ease. ”
What Luo Luo said was indeed reasonable, and Li Henian could only nod.
"Then don't hold on, if it doesn't work, just pretend to be dizzy, pretend to be sick, and let's rest."
"Okay, I see, don't worry."
The carriage stopped slowly in front of the yamen, Cheng Yan turned over and dismounted, glanced at He Yuchang, who bowed down to greet him at the door, without saying a word, and walked straight in.
The officials escorted Qin Ye, Sun Huaping, Huo Xiaofan and others inside, and Luo Luo was supported by Li Henian and followed.
The drum sounded, and the cold wind in late autumn was victorious, and it couldn't stop the people of Yanling from watching the excitement.
Ah Mo and Jiang Wenli squeezed through the crowd, and saw Li Henian and Zhu Xin standing in the front row, and Xu Banxian also came up at some point.
Above the lobby.
"Dang" was shocked, and He Yuchang's shoulders shrank in shock.
"Cheng Cheng-sama"
He Michang stood trembling at the bottom of the hall, panicked for a while, and didn't know how to talk.
Cheng Yan sat on top of the court, and under the four words of honesty and honesty behind him, the wall hanging of Qilin Zhenhai was extremely majestic.
"Lord He, this case has both corruption, perversion of the law, and murder and imprisonment, so you should sit down and try it with me."
The double trial of a case is indeed the provision of the Great Chu Law, He Michang hurriedly picked up the official robe and trotted two steps, and sat down on the side seat set by the officials.
"This matter started with the death of the blacksmith Wang, so you should try it first."
"Yes, yes, then the lower official came to ask."
"What do you have to say about the death of this prisoner Luo, the king blacksmith?"
Luo Luo knelt down in the hall upright, although she had changed her clothes and bandaged her wounds, the light red that oozed from her body all told her what happened before.
"Blacksmith Wang's death has nothing to do with me."
"What evidence do you have?"
"Since I opened the hospital, I have always been cautious and cautious, and I dare not take it lightly. The death of the blacksmith was not the result of my treatment. ”
"Then what did he die for?"
"Poisoning."
"Poisoned? What poison is there, and who is it? ”
He Michang was taken aback, and at that time he tried to test all the conjectures of poisoning, but Huo wanted to take the deceased as the most important and refused to dig up the body, so he did not find out whether it was poisoning or not.
"The black mushroom, the black mushroom has the effect of invigorating the blood, but the medicinal properties are too strong, so the doctor rarely uses it. If the deceased had taken the mushroom before, the pulse would only increase and there would be no other abnormalities. However, the silver needle puncture point will induce the poison in the blood, and it can bleed to death in a moment. I suspect that the poison was put in the decoction that the blacksmith had drunk that morning. ”
"Someone, go and take the medicine residue that was searched before and send it to you for inspection."
After hearing this, He Michang immediately commanded.
"Also, a letter, on the way here, my friend said that he found a letter by chance at Huo Niangzi."
The box of letters, which was full of the feelings between Huo Xiaofan and Sun Huaping, Li Henian discussed with Zhu Xin for a long time and felt that such feelings could not be allowed in the world, so they could hide one for them, so they hid one, and only handed over the one related to Wang Biao's death to Luo Luo.
"What is written in this letter is how Mrs. Qin instigated Lady Huo to kill people with black mushrooms."
Luo Luo handed the letter to the official and presented it to the court.
"If you still don't believe it, you can go to the museum to conduct an autopsy, although the corpse will be corrupted, but the poison of the black mushroom will adhere to the bones and turn blue and black."
He Bichang read the letter carefully, and then asked Sun Huaping for verification, "Qin Sun, this letter was written by you." ”
Sun Huaping looked at the envelope held in front of her by the official and nodded lightly.
"Yes. I did write it. ”
"Why do you want to kill Mrs. Huo?"
"He's damned!"
Sun Huaping's thin lips opened slightly, and the words he threw were powerful.
"This man had bad intentions when he married Xiao Fan, and later beat and scolded Xiao Fan at every turn, Xiao Fan was pregnant with a child, and this child could not have a father who was a blacksmith, so I taught her this method of killing people that should be foolproof."
"There is no impermeable wall in the world"
Luo Luo looked at Huo Xiaofan and Sun Huaping, who were kneeling beside him and clasping their hands tightly, and let out a sigh leisurely.
He Michang, who was above, was confused, isn't this kid the child of the king blacksmith? Why can't this kid have a father who is a blacksmith?
"This child's father is the king blacksmith, why can't this child have a father who is a blacksmith?"
"This kid doesn't belong to the king's blacksmith."
Huo Xiaofan took a deep breath, his eyes were resolute, and he confided the truth.
Sun Huaping, who was beside her, held her hand tightly and nodded heavily, his eyes full of encouragement.
"And whose kid is that?"
Although He Michang asked so on his lips, his gaze had already stayed on Qin Ye's lowered head.
"This thing starts from two years ago, two years ago, my family opened a bun shop in the capital, and I rescued a scholar who entered Beijing to take the exam, and the scholar was robbed, penniless, cold and hungry, and fainted to death on the side of the road. So I rescued him with my father. ”
Speaking of this, Huo Xiaofan turned into that cowardly appearance again, and looked deeply at Qin Ye, who bowed his head and was silent.
"The scholar is very good, he is motivated and courteous, saying that the grace of saving life is repaid by his body, he looks good, and he will coax people, so I believe it and take out all my savings for him to study.
The day before the exam, he swore to me that I would not marry in this life, so I would obey him. Later, when the list was released, he and I lived like an ordinary couple.
But who knew that as soon as he was nominated for the imperial list, he suddenly disappeared, and when he said goodbye, he became the son-in-law of my Jinlan sisters! If it is said that the will of heaven makes people, it is better to say that creation is like this, after all, the son-in-law of the three-pin sacrificial wine is indeed much better than the son-in-law of the owner of the bun shop.
I went to look for him, but I was stopped by a beggar who came from nowhere, and I never saw anyone. When I heard from him again, he had already been released as the Tiantai County Commander of Yanling City. ”
The antecedents were too long, and He Michang lost patience when he heard it.
"I'm asking you about this kid, what did you do with me two years ago."
Huo Xiaofan's eyes were soaked with tears and he smiled bitterly.
