Chapter 55: The Adult's Question Is Wrong
"Ah! The woman covered her lips and cried bitterly, "Ru'er, my poor child! Woooooo
I saw that the woman in yellow who jumped down was carried up by a group of perch, and there was a white crane standing on the corpse, just like the legend of Lover's Lake.
In just a few moments, the shore was crowded with people who had come to see the excitement.
"This girl is so pitiful that even these perch and white cranes feel sorry for her and are unwilling to leave her."
"Yes! It's so pathetic that it's gone at such a young age. ”
"This is similar to the couple from more than ten years ago!"
In the crowd that came, everyone who said anything to me was feeling sorry for the woman in yellow.
"Send him to the Yamen, and Lord Shangguan will send him down, and Ru'er will be given justice." The man who wronged Ye Xuan pointed at Ye Xuan and shouted loudly.
As soon as he shouted like this, everyone's eyes looked at Ye Xuan, "Yes, send him to the official, and give this girl justice." ”
An hour later, the county government of Huaijiang County opened.
"Bang!"
A startled sound sounded, and the county magistrate who was sitting under the high hanging flat of the mirror shouted: "Who is in the hall, report your name." ”
"Lord Hui, this young master is the son of Liu Heng, Liu Yu.
I want to sue this person, I saw with my own eyes that he pushed Old Man Li's daughter, Li Ru'er, down the Lover's Lake, causing Li Ru'er to drown in the lake. ”
Liu Yu's eyes were grim, and he pointed at Ye Xuan at his side with a hateful face.
"Dead people?"
The county magistrate sank his eyes, looked at the female corpse covered with a white cloth on the ground, and asked, "That corpse is Li Ru'er?" ”
"Yes."
"Open it for the official to see."
Liu Yu stepped forward quickly and lifted the white cloth.
"Your Excellency, please look!"
As soon as Liu Yu lifted the white cloth, a faint fragrance filled the entire county hall.
"What does it smell like?" The county magistrate sniffed his nose and asked.
The people standing outside the county office also smelled the smell.
"It's so fragrant!"
For a while, the hall was noisy.
A few seconds later, the officials who were closer involuntarily threw themselves towards Li Ru'er's corpse in a trance.
Then the crowd pounced on them, as if they had been bewitched.
"Cover your nose and don't inhale the aroma, or you'll be poisoned." Ye Xuan broke free from the restraints of the two and shouted loudly at the crowd who were rushing.
They simply didn't inhale much, and under Ye Xuan's loud shouting, everyone slowly regained consciousness, covering their mouths and noses and retreating again and again.
When the county magistrate heard that it was poisonous, he was so frightened that he sat on the high hall with a pale face.
"What's going on? Where did the poison come from? The county magistrate trembled and pointed at Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan glanced at the county magistrate, raised her feet and walked towards the official who threw herself on Li Ruer's corpse.
"The poison emanated from Li Ru'er's corpse." Ye Xuan is not salty or indifferent.
And Liu Yu, who wronged Ye Xuan, heard Ye Xuan's words, his face turned a lot paler, and his eyes became a little flustered.
As for Li Ru'er's parents, from the time they entered the yamen to the present, they have never said a word, and the two old men looked sad on their faces, looking at Li Ru'er who was lying quietly on the ground with demented eyes.
Shuang'er stood alone outside the yamen, looking at the county yamen with worried eyes.
Shangguan Wan'er took Yun'er to the backyard.
"How do you know? Didn't you push her off Lover's Lake? How could it be poisoned? The county master's eyes narrowed, "Isn't it, you poisoned her first, and then pushed her down?" ”
Ye Xuan did not pay attention to the county master, but stepped forward slowly, squatted down and picked up the wrist of the officer, checked her pulse, and took out her 'Qingshen Cream' from her waist and shook it under the nose of the officer.
The county magistrate looked at Liu Yu with a dark face with anger, "Liu Yu, you said that he pushed Li Ru'er into the water, what evidence do you have?" ”
Liu Yu, who was a little weak-hearted, said calmly with flustered eyes: "Lord Hui, it's, actually, I'm not very sure, it's just that I rushed over when I heard the sound of falling water, and he was the only one there at that time, besides, he is not from our county." ”
Liu Yu's current momentum is clearly not as strong as Fang Cai, and he also calls himself 'I', not 'Young Master Ben'.
The county magistrate groaned for a moment, slapped the shocked wood again, and glared at Ye Xuan sternly with his eyes, "Bold suspect, don't recruit quickly, where do you live, who is your surname, and why did you kill the deceased Li Ru'er." ”
Ye Xuan's face was calm, and her voice was extremely cold: "The question asked by the adult is not right. ”
The county magistrate frowned: "How is this official wrong?"
"My lord asked the wrong question, who is my surname and where I live has nothing to do with this case, and why I killed the deceased is even more fantastic, I didn't kill the deceased at all, why did I come from."
"You don't plead guilty?" The county lord sneered, obviously seeing too much of this stubborn thief.
Ye Xuan said with a cold expression: "I haven't done it again, what kind of guilt do you confess?" ”
Ye Xuan said, took out a triangular scarf from her wrist to cover her face, and took out her pocket knife from her sleeve, and examined Li Ru'er's corpse by herself.
The county lord was so angry that his eyes were about to protrude, and because of the influence of the smell of Fang Cai, the county lord now felt his heart tightened.
The master hurriedly helped the county master to sit firmly, covered his mouth and nose with one hand, and covered the county master with the other, and roared in a trembling voice: "You thief, don't cover the body quickly." ”
The officials in the hall who had finally recovered their strength hurriedly ran out one by one with ugly faces.
Even Liu Yu, who looked calm, was afraid of poisoning and hid far away.
Li Ru'er's father helped Li Ru'er's mother, and stood by the yamen with a gloomy look in his eyes.
It was really from Li Ruer's corpse that the fragrance emanating from Li Ru'er's corpse became more and more intense.
Ye Xuan ignored the master's roar, just spread her hands, raised her eyes to look outside the yamen, and raised her feet to walk towards Shuang'er in the crowd outside the yamen.
"Give me the bag!"
Seeing Ye Xuan coming over, Shuang'er hurriedly took off the canvas bag and handed it to Ye Xuan, "Give!" ”
Ye Xuan put the bag on his shoulder and took out a pair of white gloves made of linen from it.
She put on her gloves and walked towards Li Ru'er's corpse.
Ye Xuan, who was wearing gloves, squatted down and checked Li Ruer's mouth and nasal cavity.
"She didn't drown, but she was poisoned by a poison called 'Thousand Days of Drunkenness', and those perch and white cranes came to smell this fragrance, because they inhaled too much, which caused their bodies to be weak and unable to leave."
Ye Xuan continued to check Li Ru'er's fingers, "Her fingernails are black, and ordinary people who fall into the water will not float up so quickly, and it is precisely because of this medicine that she will surface so quickly." ”
Ye Xuan raised her eyes and glanced at Liu Yu, "I'm afraid that the person who poisoned Miss Li didn't think of this, right?" ”
