After Xiang Yuanjie shouted injustice, Ruan Xiang yelled at him: "You still have the face to shout injustice? Now they are all stolen. You are a big crime of murdering the officials of the imperial court, and it would be good if you didn't put you to justice on the spot! Someone, drag him down! ”

The two officials immediately stepped forward and grabbed Xiang Yuanjie, who shouted at Zou Yi heartbreakingly: "Lord Zou! Help me! Lord Zou, you can't ignore the grass people! The grass people are wronged! ”

Zou Yi scolded him with a cold face: "What does this official have to do with you? Why did I save you? Besides, you have committed a heinous crime, and no one can save you anymore! ”

Xiang Yuanjie shouted without giving up: "Lord Zou, our friendship is not thin, you can't treat me like this!" If you really don't save you from death, then I'll ......"

However, Xiang Yuanjie didn't wait to finish speaking, and was dragged away by the officials.

As soon as Tong Shi and Wan Lin heard what he said at the end, they immediately glanced at each other.

Tong Shi lowered his voice and said quickly: "You said that there is a ...... between Zou Yi and Xiang Yuanjie."

Wan Lin shook his head slightly, "My lord, you and I can just know this matter, now is not the time to discuss." ”

Tong Shi pouted helplessly, "Yes, we have to pretend to be confused!" ”

"Lord Tong, Lord Wan!"

Zou Yi walked over to them with a smirk on his face.

Tong Shi sank his face when he saw him, and deliberately asked him sharply: "Lord Zou, although we found Lord Yan's family, this official really didn't expect that Lord Yan was kidnapped by the richest man in the neighboring county?" Are there any interests involved? As the governor of a state, you don't know nothing, do you? ”

When Zou Yi heard this, he quickly arched his hand and carefully explained: "Lord Mingjian! Xia Guan really doesn't know anything about this matter! Xiaguan assures you and Lord Wan that this matter will be clarified as quickly as possible! I will definitely give a clear explanation to the two adults! ”

Tong Shi snorted, "Since Lord Zou has said so, then the official can't not believe you, otherwise wouldn't he not believe his colleagues?" But this official would like to remind you that until this case is clearly investigated, neither this official nor Lord Wan will leave here, and it will not be beneficial to investigate your case if it continues like this! ”

Tong Shi's subtext is: If you don't find out about this matter quickly, the longer you will be suspected, which will not only be detrimental to your career, but may also increase your charges.

How could Zou Yi not hear Tong Shi's extraneous voice, he hurriedly responded after listening to it: "Yes, yes, the lower officials understand everything!" Xia Guan will definitely close the case as soon as possible, not only will he give justice to Lord Yan's family as soon as possible, but it will also prove that Xia Guan has nothing to do with this matter! ”

Tong Shi stretched his brows a little, and his tone was a little soothed, "Then this time the case will be handed over to you and the local magistrate Ruan to try it!" This official and Lord Tong were interrogated. If we find something out of this, don't blame the two of us for turning the other cheek! ”

"Xia Guan understands!" Zou Yi replied with a trembling voice, and then looked at Ruan Xiang again.

Ruan Xiang hurriedly quickened his pace and walked over, and said to Tong Shi and Wan Lin with extra respect: "Two adults, please rest assured, the lower officials will definitely handle this matter strictly!" If this case is not investigated, the lower officials are willing to admit the guilt! ”

Tong Shi said impatiently: "Okay, you don't have to show your determination in front of us, you just need to investigate the case seriously!" ”

Everyone went to the county government together, and Yan Yongde's family was also sent to the county office, and they were diagnosed by Lang Zhong one by one.

Wan Lin and Tong Shi were very concerned about the health of Yan Yongde's family, but Tong Shi was not worried about Zou Yi and Ruan Xiang's trial, so he asked Wan Lin to stare at Yan Yongde's family first to see if they were okay, and he went to the county government hall to interrogate.

Ruan Xiang invited the best Langzhong in the county, and they carefully treated Yan Yongde's family for a long time, and finally came to the same conclusion.

The whole family was stunned by the incense, and then they were poured with enough sleeping pills to make people sleepy for three to five days.

This medicine is very harmful to people, even if you wake up again, all reactions will be much slower than before, and this situation will gradually become serious, only a year or two later, people who have drunk this medicine will become stupid and slow waste.

Yan Yongde and Mrs. Yan are both adults, and they still have a certain resistance to potions, and they will become wastes within a year or two.

But Yan Xiaogongzi is only less than two years old, this medicine will not only kill him, but it will also cost him half his life, and if he wakes up, he will immediately become a demented and paralyzed waste.

After learning about Lang Zhong's diagnosis, Wan Lin was so angry that his teeth itched, and he hated to break the culprit into pieces, but even this could not solve the hatred in his heart!

But Wan Lin didn't rush to have too much hatred for Xiang Yuanjie, because he knew that Xiang Yuanjie was most likely instructed and used by others, and the real people behind the scenes were the most hateful!

Wan Lin did not forget the most important thing while resentment, although these Lang Zhong made a unanimous diagnosis, but Wan Lin still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Wan Lin hurriedly wrote another urgent letter and asked someone to send it to Fu Xiaojiu.

This is Wan Lin's last hope, if Fu Xiaojiu says that she can't do anything about the situation of Yan Yongde's family, then Wan Lin will try his best to fight for the most severe punishment for the instigator behind the scenes, even if he doesn't want his own future.

Wan Lin came to the county hall with a heavy heart, and saw Du Xiang Yuanjie kneeling on the ground with his head, where is there still a little bit of the richest man in the county?

Zou Yi and Ruan Xiang both raised eyebrows at him, and they had already interrogated him a few words, but Xiang Yuanjie always said that he was innocent and did not answer any of their questions at all.

After Wan Lin came, Tong Shi anxiously asked, "How is the situation of Lord Yan's family?" Are they all right? ”

Wan Lin didn't answer, but first looked at Xiang Yuanjie with a stiff face, and then at Zou Yi and Ruan Xiang.

Although Wan Lin has a handsome and dusty face, he is usually gentle and elegant to everyone, but when he is really angry, a pair of phoenix eyes can reveal a chill that is terrifying from the bottom of his heart.

Zou Yi and Ruan Xiang didn't expect to see such a look in Wan Lin's eyes, and their hearts trembled fiercely.

Tong Shi saw that Wan Lin's expression was wrong, and his heart also turned over, and he hurriedly asked, "Lord Wan, what happened to Lord Yan and their family?" ”

Wan Lin's eyes instantly welled up with distressed tears, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Lang Zhong said that Lord Yan's family was first stunned by people with incense, and then they were poured a large amount of sleeping pills, even if they wake up, they will gradually become stupid and become wasted, and after their son wakes up, he will directly become a demented child!" ”

Wan Lin couldn't say it anymore, and held back his tears and anger!

"What? How so? Tong Shi was shocked at first, and then slapped the table with great anger, "Who is so mad?" How could he have done such a poisonous blow to Lord Yan's family? Don't even let go of a child? ”

Zou Yi and Ruan Xiang also showed shocked and resentful expressions one after another, Zou Yi slapped the startled wood heavily, pointed at Xiang Yuanjie angrily and shouted: "Xiang Yuanjie, you are simply inferior to a beast!" How did Lord Yan's family offend you? How could you do such a cruel thing to them? Someone is coming, and he will be tortured! ”

Xiang Yuanjie kowtowed heavily and shouted: "The grass people are really wronged!" The grass people didn't drug them! ”

But no matter how much he cried out, it was useless, and the officials came to him with water and fire sticks, and held him down and wanted to execute him.

"Wait!" Wan Lin abruptly stopped the execution.

"Lord Wan? What are you? ”

Zou asked puzzled.

Tong Shi also cast a puzzled look at Wan Lin.

Wan Lin looked at them calmly and explained rationally: "Lord Zou, it is a very good means to torture suspects in the lobby, but it is not an uncommon thing. But no matter what heinous crimes the suspect committed, there must be a limit to how much punishment can be used to extract confessions. Lord Zou only said that Xiang Yuanjie was being punished, but he did not say the specific punishment. In case the officials have heavy hands or don't stop, won't Xiang Yuanjie be killed? ”

Zou Yi didn't answer the point, but asked with a righteous face: "Lord Wan, why are you still speaking for the suspect?" Don't you want to give justice to Lord Yan's family? ”

Wan Lin replied without changing his face: "This official just wants to give justice to Lord Yan's family, so he can't let Xiang Yuanjie die under heavy punishment in vain!" If there is a mastermind behind him, he is just being used, and if he is killed, won't the real murderer be at large? ”

After Wan Lin finished speaking, he cast a meaningful gaze at Zou Yi.

Tong Shi listened to Wan Lin's words and immediately understood what he meant.

Zou Yi just seemed to be a good official who was unhappy for Yan Yongde's family, but when he calmed down, he was hiding murderous intentions from Xiang Yuanjie.

Tong Shi couldn't help but deeply admire Wan Lin, because Wan Lin was not carried away by anger, and he could still maintain his sanity at the critical moment, avoiding the fate of Xiang Yuanjie dying under heavy punishment in vain.

If Xiang Yuanjie really died like this, then the truth and possibilities would be covered up forever.

Tong Shi stood up suddenly, and said to Zou Yi: "This official thinks that what Master Wan said is extremely true, if Xiang Yuanjie was instructed by someone, then he is dead, wouldn't the clues be broken?" The official thinks that Xiang Yuanjie can be punished, but it must be moderate! ”

Zou Yi's expression suddenly became a little sneering after hearing this, but even if he was not convinced, he could not continue to torture Xiang Yuanjie.

Zou Yi also stood up and asked with a humble face: "Then may I ask the two adults, what kind of punishment should be used against Xiang Yuanjie to make him confess his crime?" ”

Tong Shi was stunned and looked at Wan Lin again.

Wan Lin quickly thought for a while before replying: "This official believes that in order to confess his crime to Xiang Yuanjie, it is not necessary to torture him. ”

Wan Lin said and walked to Xiang Yuanjie's side.
