Chapter Ninety-Three: The Face Does Not Change
In the face of the Lin family's various circles and quibbles, Su Jiudong wanted to grab a loophole from his words, but the Lin family, the current rhetoric was still impenetrable, and Su Jiudong could only sigh in his heart.
"Lord Yan, today you called the concubine to the county office, and without conducting a prior investigation and without any direct evidence that can prove the situation, you casually listened to the one-sided slander of others, and mistakenly believed that the concubine was involved in some things."
Lin stood in the hall generously, showing a sense of righteousness that had not done anything wrong, and asked Lord Yan unreservedly: "... Can the concubine be considered a momentary negligence of Lord Yan? ”
"Although there is no direct evidence to prove that Madame, you have privately asked Dr. Yan in Tianxiang Teahouse to plan this matter, but there is no evidence to prove that Madame, you are innocent."
Wen Yiheng is very optimistic about Lin's calm state of Taishan collapsing in front of him and not changing his face, but he is also very ashamed of her clever words.
"Calling Mrs. Wei without any direct evidence is indeed a momentary oversight by the official. But as for whether Mrs. Wei really participated in this matter, it remains to be discussed. Lord Yan explained seriously.
After judging the current situation, Lord Yan did not immediately conclude that Lin was innocent, but temporarily attributed her to the stage of doubt.
"Lord Yan really wants to listen to Dr. Yan's words, and he has to think that the concubine has planned this conspiracy to kill people? Lord Yan, you are the parent official of our Hangzhou people, how can the verdict be so biased? ”
The Lin family, who had always been pleasant, listened to Lord Yan's insistence, and finally showed a slightly frowning look
"Mrs. Wei, you said that this official can't listen to Dr. Yan's side of the story, and thinks that you are guilty. However, we can't just listen to your words and believe that you are innocent. This official is nothing more than a rhetoric on both sides, and a routine trade-off between them. ”
At present, Su Jiudong has not produced direct evidence, only Dr. Yan, a person whose position is too clear, and it is a waste of tongue and time to continue to let Su Jiudong and the Lin family continue to debate.
"Today, the matter of Dr. Su's complaint against Mrs. Wei is temporarily adjourned, and if you two can provide direct evidence in the future, you will be promoted to the court for trial at a later date." Lord Yan simply slapped the shocked wood and temporarily terminated today's trial.
Su Jiudong also suffered from the fact that he had not found a direct witness who could prove that Lin met with Dr. Yan at the Tianxiang Teahouse on the first day of the fifth lunar month, let alone that Lin asked Dr. Yan to deliberately catch the wrong medicine and harm Su Ting'an.
Su Jiudong, who was invincible in words, could only admit it temporarily this time, and returned to Yongyuan Medicinal Restaurant with Wen Yiheng in frustration.
"There are people coming and going in the teahouse, it shouldn't be possible that no one saw the Lin family entering and leaving the Tianxiang teahouse that day......" Su Jiudong was still deeply puzzled that no one had seen the Lin family enter and leave the Tianxiang teahouse, and even when he came back to serve the formula, he was still thinking about the possibility.
"Since no diners have seen Lin enter and leave the country in Tianxiang Teahouse, there is only another possibility." Wen Yiheng moved a chair and sat next to the desk, rolling up his sleeves to grind for Su Jiudong.
"Have you figured it out? What is the possibility? Su Jiudong stopped his pen and looked at Wen Yiheng.
Wen Yiheng is steady and cautious, always able to notice the details that Su Jiudong ignores, and his way of thinking is also different from that of Su Jiudong as a woman.
In what happened before, Wen Yiheng also hit the key details several times, so Su Jiudong attached great importance to Wen Yiheng's thoughts.
"The calligraphy and painting workshop next to the Tianxiang Teahouse, have you noticed?" Wen Yiheng snatched the pen from Su Jiudong's hand, took the tip of the pen to lick the ink on the ink cartridge, found a blank piece of paper, and drew the appearance and floor plan of the two shops on it.
"When you Qiao Zhuang visited the Tianxiang Teahouse, I was not idle, and went to the calligraphy and painting workshop next to the teahouse to investigate."
Su Jiudong went to check the Tianxiang Teahouse, and Wen Yiheng didn't need Su Jiudong's prompt, so he took the initiative to check the calligraphy and painting workshop.
"Tianxiang Teahouse and the Liji Calligraphy and Painting Workshop next to it, the two shops are two parts separated from the same building."
"The owner of the calligraphy and painting workshop told me that there is a small door in the house that connects the two shops, and if you are tired of walking around the painting and calligraphy workshop, you can go directly through the small door and go to the teahouse to drink tea and rest."
The owners of the two shops have a good relationship, and because of the existence of this small door, they introduce each other to take care of each other's business.
"No one saw Lin enter and leave the Tianxiang Teahouse that day, and Dr. Yan did meet with Lin in the orchid room on the second floor, so it means that Lin did not enter the second floor from the main entrance of Tianxiang Teahouse, but came from the small door in the calligraphy and painting workshop next to it, so that he could avoid the sight of other diners in the teahouse."
Wen Yiheng drew on paper the location of the small door connecting the two shops, between the corridors on the second floor of the building. Three k
The second floor of the calligraphy and painting workshop is a private room for painting and appreciating paintings, and the second floor of Tianxiang Tea House is also a private room that is also separated.
Therefore, if Lin went from the second floor of the Liji Calligraphy and Painting Workshop to the second floor of the Tianxiang Teahouse through the small door, and walked directly into the private room, the only witnesses would only be the shopkeepers, and they would not be seen by the diners on the first floor.
"The Lin family made an appointment with Dr. Yan to discuss the murder of An'er, and calmly considered the possibility that there might be witnesses, so he chose to enter from the Liji Calligraphy and Painting Workshop, avoiding the sight of others, and his thoughts were indeed rigorous and thorough."
"She is a terrible and vicious woman. came up with a conspiracy and had the strength to put it into action, and also had a sense of counter-reconnaissance...... It's terrible. Su Jiudong was shocked by the skills and potential hidden in Lin's petite body.
"It's a pity that the shopkeeper Ah Ye was bought by her, and he actually lied openly for her in the lobby, which is really hateful." Su Jiudong stomped his feet angrily, just wanting to pull the bad thing Ah Ye in front of him, and hate to teach him a lesson.
"If you can't sue her this time, we can wait for her next time, no one can pretend for a lifetime, she will always have a day when she shows her feet, and she will always have to pay the price for An'er's danger."
Wen Yiheng understands that this is not the time to dwell on this matter, life must go on, since the Lin family can hide and be stable, they can also wait patiently for the day when she reveals her stuff.
Su Jiudong put down the pen and paper, walked to the store, called Su Ting'an, who was playing with Ah Rong next to Shopkeeper Liu, to him, and solemnly advised: "An'er, in the future, you and your Ah Rong sister should stay away from that Linlin." ”
"A-Niang, why did you keep An'er away from Linlin? Daddy also said before that An'er didn't play with Linlin... But Linlin is very good, she often shares food with An'er and Sister Arong, and endorses with An'er..."
Su Ting'an pouted a little disappointed at Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng's unanimous request that he stay away from Lin Xiaolin.
The child is simple-hearted, and the innocent Lin Xiaolin is not bad, but that innocence has been used by adults with ghosts.
Su Tingan was willing to play with Lin Xiaolin, but Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng didn't want to see the Lin family use Lin Xiaolin and harm Su Tingan again. Therefore, for the sake of Su Ting'an's safety, Su Jiudong insisted on being this "wicked person".
"Since Daddy told you before, why are you still playing with Linlin? An'er is now older, and she refuses to listen to Daddy and Auntie? ”
Su Jiudong pointed his finger on Su Ting'an's dissatisfied, nodded three times slightly, and followed his appearance to make the same pouting action, pretending to be angry and disappointed and said: "An'er doesn't want to listen to Daddy and Auntie's words, and Auntie is not happy." ”
"A-Niang should be happy, An'er will be obedient." Su Ting'an approached Su Jiudong and pecked lightly on Su Jiudong's face, trying to please his "angry" aunt.
Wen Yiheng leaned his back to the door frame, doting and softly watching the interaction between Su Jiudong and Su Ting'an's mother, his eyes moved with them, leaving all the complicated things and deep thoughts behind.
"Daddy, come and eat cakes with An'er and her mother! Grandpa Liu just bought it for An'er. Su Ting'an noticed Wen Yiheng, pinched a small piece of jujube cake and stuffed it into Wen Yiheng's mouth, and his big bright eyes blinked, full of carefree and admiration for his parents.
Wen Yiheng stepped forward and lifted his robe and squatted down, holding Su Jiudong and Su Tingan steadily, his broad chest against Su Jiudong's back. Wen Yiheng leaned his face towards Su Ting'an, and was kissed on the face by Su Ting'an with love as he wished.
Nothing is more important than the health and safety of the family, and there is a sense of tranquility as long as the family is intact and in love with each other.
The two important people in their lives gathered here, hugging the warmth of Su Jiudong and Su Tingan, and a velvet warmth couldn't help but rise in their hearts.
The days passed quietly like flowing water, and Wen Yiheng resumed the normal state of handling official business in Qin Cha Xingyuan and Chu Lufeng every day; In the absence of direct evidence collected at present, Su Jiudong planned to avoid touching the entanglement of the Lin family for the time being, concentrate on running the business of the Jonway Medicinal Restaurant, and find an opportunity to reorganize it later.
It's summer, and it's the hottest time in June, so most of the diners in the restaurant love to order cool down and mint soup and other cool medicinal dishes, so the mung beans and mint in the store are consumed quickly.
On this day, Su Jiudong was on the way to buy mung beans on the market street, and met a strange man who asked for directions to go to the Jonway Medicinal Restaurant.
"This girl, do you know how to get to the Jonway Medicinal Restaurant? I am a domestic servant of the Fang Mansion of Lin'an Prefecture, and the wife of the family is a small one
Dr. Su, who came to find the Jonway Medicinal Restaurant, had something important to discuss with Dr. Su in detail. ”
This strange man claimed to be a servant of the Fang Mansion, and was ordered by Mrs. Fang to come to Su Jiudong to talk about things. The shy man scratched his hair and said with some embarrassment: "I just asked a few other restaurants in front of me, but they don't seem to be willing to reveal the specific location of Jonway Medicinal Restaurant. ”
