Master Jiang slapped the shocked wood and reprimanded Du Adi: "Du Adi, you are so bold!" Dare to retract his confession in court! So many witnesses have seen that the sumac bark powder was found from you at the scene, and your hands and wrists are also red and swollen, what are you arguing about? Do you have to let this official torture you before you are willing to tell the truth? ”

Du Adi glanced at Shopkeeper Meng at this time, and Shopkeeper Meng immediately turned his head and avoided her gaze.

"Du Adi, this official warns you one last time, immediately confess the person who instructed you behind it! Otherwise, you will not only be punished but also sentenced heavily! Don't you think about the rest of your life? ”

Du Adi lowered her head again and was silent, Xu Yuanwai said to her: "Du Adi, as long as you tell the truth and confess the person who instructed you, we guarantee that you will not be retaliated against." ”

Du Adi raised her head, looked at Xu Yuanwai with fear, and then looked at Master Jiang, her mouth opened slightly.

"I ......" Du Adi was just about to speak, when the shopkeeper Meng suddenly interjected.

"Lord Qiyu! The grass people have something to say! ”

Master Jiang gave him a blank look and said sharply, "You have something to say later!"

Shopkeeper Meng said boldly: "My lord, didn't you catch the person who put something in the medicine?" Wouldn't interrogating that person directly find out who the real culprit was behind the scenes? Du Adi is a weak woman, who knows if she was coerced by these people? ”

Lord Jiang looked at him, suddenly stood up, pointed to his seat and said, "Why don't you sit here and try the case on behalf of this official?" ”

"The grass people don't dare!" Shopkeeper Meng hurriedly lowered his head.

Master Jiang glared at him fiercely, returned to his seat and sat down, and slapped the shocked wood again.

"Du Adi, you go on!"

Du Adi lowered her head and said: "The people and the people are indeed instructed by others, but the people who instruct the people to do everything, the people have never seen his true face. He wore a cloak with a hat and covered most of his face every time he saw a woman. He first gave the folk girl ten taels of silver, and said that after the deed was completed, he would give the folk girl twenty taels of silver. ”

Master Jiang asked, "He gave you the sumac bark powder, right?" ”

Du Adi nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Master Jiang asked again, "Then how did you put the sumac bark powder into the Guizhen film?" ”

Du Adi replied truthfully: "The folk girl is responsible for the final sealing work in the workshop, so when people are not paying attention, they can sprinkle the powder into the medicine bottle. But the folk girl can't always put powder in the bottle, otherwise she will be discovered. So the folk girl only put sumac bark powder in a few bottles of masks, and the folk girl knew that she was wrong, so she asked the adult to give a light sentence! ”

Master Jiang pondered for a moment after hearing this, then patted the startled wood again, and asked sharply, "Then you also did the thing about putting pumpkin powder in the gold sore medicine, right?" ”

Du Adi immediately denied: "No! That thing was done by Old Man Ding, not by the people's daughter! Adults! ”

Master Jiang said to the officials: "Rumor the suspect Ding Dazhuang! ”

Old man Ding was quickly brought up, and Master Jiang asked directly: "Ding Dazhuang, this official ordered you to explain honestly, did you add pumpkin powder to the gold sore medicine?" ”

Old man Ding hurriedly shouted: "The grass people are wronged! The grass people have never done such a lack of morality! ”

Master Jiang set his eyes on Du Adi again, "Du Adi, aren't you still telling the truth?" ”

Du Adi kowtowed and said, "This is really not done by a folk girl!" Please don't be fooled by that old man! ”

After Du Adi finished speaking, she whimpered in a low voice, Lord Jiang glanced at her in disgust, and was about to continue the interrogation, when Fu Xiaojiu and Liu walked in.

"My lord, the folk girl has brought new evidence!"

Fu Xiaojiu and Liu walked in one after another and knelt on the ground, Fu Xiaojiu raised the things in his hand above his head, and a servant took the things and handed them to Lord Jiang.

Fu Xiaojiu explained: "This is the pumpkin powder found by the folk girl in Du Adi's house, and a silver ticket of fifty taels of silver. The girl also asked Du Adi's neighbors and said that she had spent a lot of money in the past two days, and she had bought several bags of rice and noodles alone. ”

"You talk nonsense! How can you go to my house? After Du Adi shouted at Fu Xiaojiu, she pleaded with Master Jiang again: "People, that silver ticket is not a people's girl!" It must be Fu Xiaojiu, who took her family's silver ticket over and framed the people's daughter, and the people's daughter was wronged! ”

Fu Xiaojiu glanced at her indifferently and said, "The Minnu's family has never deposited silver in the money bank that issued this silver ticket. Adults just go check it out! ”

As soon as Fu Xiaojiu finished speaking, he added: "Xu Yuanwai's family also has no money in that bank. ”

Master Jiang glanced at the silver ticket, nodded and said, "The official of this money bank will check it himself." But now Fu Langzhong has found pumpkin powder at Du Adi's house. Du Adi, how do you explain this? ”

Du Adi quibbled stiffly: "This is natural, naturally it is the pumpkin powder that Fu Xiaojiu brought himself!" ”

"Huh." Fu Xiaojiu couldn't help laughing, "Do you think I have the kung fu to get pumpkin powder?" Du Adi, you don't have to be hard-mouthed, I already know who instructed you to do all this! ”

Du Adi was stunned, then looked at Fu Xiaojiu with a look of disbelief and said, "The pumpkin powder is put in the gold sore medicine by Old Man Ding, and it has nothing to do with me!" The person who instructed me doesn't even know about me, how can you know? You're going to lie nonsense! ”

Fu Xiaojiu looked at her, walked up to Old Man Ding, and bowed deeply to him, "Uncle Ding, I have wronged you these days." Thank you for agreeing to cooperate with me, our efforts were finally not in vain, and we finally found the real culprit! ”

Ding Dazhuang said happily: "You don't have to be polite! It's an honor to be able to help you! ”

Listening to Fu Xiaojiu's words, everyone showed stunned expressions.

Fu Xiaojiu said to Master Jiang: "Lord Qiyu, Ding Dazhuang didn't put pumpkin powder in the gold sore medicine, it was the folk girl who asked him to pretend to confess." The people's maiden is to lure out Du Adi and the people who instructed her! ”

Master Jiang couldn't wait to ask, "Who is the person who instructed Du Adi?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu replied solemnly: "The person who instructed Du Adi is the widow of the Sanpin Minister, and Mrs. Fang, the sister of the right counselor Jing Zhiye. ”

"W-What?"

Master Jiang was taken aback.

Fu Xiaojiu said without changing his face: "The folk girl has conclusive evidence, otherwise she would not dare to involve the widow of the Sanpin master." ”

Master Jiang leaned forward slightly, and said embarrassedly, "Then you mean that I summoned Mrs. Fang?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu replied stiffly: "Exactly! ”

Although Mrs. Fang is the widow of the Sanpin Doctor, and she is the sister of the right counselor, Wan Lin is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and the identity of Fu Xiaojiu is needless to say, in contrast, Mrs. Fang, the widow of the official, and the sister of the right counselor, are not so feared.

After weighing it in his heart, Lord Jiang immediately said, "Come on, summon Mrs. Fang to Jingzhao Mansion!" ”

The officials did not dare to hesitate and hurried to the house.

Wan Pozi whispered in Fu Xiaojiu's ear: "Xiao Jiu, when did you arrange all this?" Why don't you know about it? ”

Fu Xiaojiu smiled slyly, "This is what I secretly discussed with Xu Yuanwai, I didn't tell you and my father and eldest brother and sister-in-law that I was afraid of startling the grass and snakes, and I couldn't catch big fish!" ”

Wan Pozi understood Fu Xiaojiu's approach very well, and said approvingly: "What you said is reasonable. I don't blame you. ”

Fu Xiaojiu smiled at her, and Mrs. Wan suddenly asked worriedly: "That Mrs. Fang has a noble status, can she confess?" Are you sure? ”

Fu Xiaojiu shrugged helplessly, "I'm not sure to make her confess, let's take one step at a time." ”

"This ......" Wan Pozi swallowed back the words that came to her lips, without adding pressure to Fu Xiaojiu.

Everyone waited for a while, and Mrs. Fang finally came.

Seeing that there were so many people kneeling in the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion, Mrs. Fang's expression was very calm, she had a decree on her, she was a third-grade lady, and she did not kneel when she saw the official.

Even though she was dressed plainly and did not wear a gorgeous head on her head, she stood above the lobby with a majestic momentum.

"Mrs. Fang." Lord Jiang still greeted her politely according to the etiquette.

Mrs. Fang looked at him expressionlessly and asked, "Master Jiang, why did you call the old body here?" Don't you know that this is my heart, and I think of my daughter who died in vain......"

As Mrs. Fang spoke, tears kept dripping down like beads with broken threads.

Lord Jiang was a little embarrassed for a while, Fu Xiaojiu coughed lightly, and said to Lord Jiang with a solemn face: "My lord, the people and others have been kneeling here and waiting for Mrs. Fang for a long time, please ask Mrs. Fang earlier." ”

As soon as Fu Xiaojiu spoke, the lady noticed her and asked in surprise, "Why are you here, Fu Langzhong?" What's the trouble you're in? ”

Fu Xiaojiu looked at her eyes with a faint sneer at the corner of her mouth, and replied word by word: "Mrs. Fang, don't you know why I'm here?" Oh, you don't know, you're innocent! ”

Fu Xiaojiu deliberately bit the word "innocent" very hard, and then showed a harmless smile to Mrs. Fang.

Mrs. Fang's face changed very strangely, there was anger hidden in her eyes, her face was a little pale, but there were tears in the corners of her eyes, and the corners of her mouth were raised upward.

"Hehe, Fu Langzhong really likes to laugh." After Mrs. Fang finished talking to her, she said to Master Jiang: "Please also ask your lord to make it clear, why did you summon the old body here?" ”

Master Jiang took a breath and finally said, "Mrs. Fang, do you know the woman kneeling next to you?" ”

Mrs. Fang looked at Du Adi suspiciously, only glanced at her quickly, and replied resolutely: "The old body doesn't recognize this woman." ”

Master Jiang held up the silver ticket again, "Then is this silver ticket from your house?" ”

Mrs. Fang took a few steps forward, and immediately denied the silver ticket after seeing it clearly: "This silver ticket is not from my house." ”

Lord Jiang looked at Fu Xiaojiu like a pleading, and Fu Xiaojiu instantly greeted Lord Jiang's whole family in his heart.
