488 Second opening
"If Deng Gongzi is free at this time, he might as well go together."
This was a little ambiguous, and Deng Yu frowned slightly.
"Could it be that Lord Cheng also summoned Deng?"
"The adults haven't shown it for the time being, but if you want to come, you have to ask Deng Gongzi to go." Ji Cheng's tone was neither humble nor arrogant.
Zhang Meiyan suddenly felt even greater uneasiness in her heart.
Master Cheng summoned her and stopped, but what did this official mean by this?
Could it be that something has changed?
Deng Yu hesitated for a moment, and then said in a cold tone: "You just have to take the first step, and Deng can go by himself." ”
The official didn't say much, and only took Zhang Meiyan to leave at the moment.
Deng Yu looked at Zhang Meiyan, who looked back frequently, and was terrified, and his brows became tighter and tighter.
He turned around and went back to the house, and after changing his clothes again, he took the little servant out and rushed to Beijing.
The little servant followed him, shivering.
The last little guy Eleven didn't follow the son to the yamen......
Further along, it is Fan Jiu who was sold.
In this way, the risk of being the personal servant of the eldest son is no less than that of robbing money.
But the official just said that he would come to summon his son-in-law soon, so he had no excuse to stop him from going out......
The little guy wanted to cry without tears, so he could only secretly ask the Buddha for his blessing in the bottom of his heart.
……
After Zhang Meiyan was taken to Beijing, she realized that she was summoned this time, not for a simple and routine questioning.
She first keenly saw the carriage of the Zhang family not far from outside the yamen.
Then there is Cheng Ran, who is wearing official uniforms and sitting high in the hall, and the officials who are holding water and fire sticks on both sides -
This is clearly a reopening.
Zhang Meiyan secretly clenched her fingers.
In one day, two court hearings for the same case would never have been possible if new and significant evidence had not been found......
But what new evidence can the government find?!
Zhang Meiyan was shocked in her heart, and came to the hall to kneel and salute, but saw that it was Zhang Luan and Zhang Jing brothers standing on one side-
Her pupils constricted, and in a moment, cold sweat crawled all over her back.
Zhang Luan is here, and it's over, but Zhang Jing is also here......!
Something must have happened......
Zhang Meiyan thought almost certainly.
Sure enough, the next moment, she heard Cheng Ran's voice condescendingly reach her ears: "Your Majesty Zhang, the existing evidence indicates that you have repeatedly deducted a medicinal herb called Artemisia on the Snow from the medicine in the name of catching medicine for your father—do you recognize it?" ”
"I didn't!"
Zhang Meiyan immediately denied it, shook her head and said: "What kind of snow is a branch of artemisia, I don't remember that my father's prescription has this flavor ......"
At this time, many people had gathered outside the hall to watch.
"Tsk, why is it being tried again, didn't you say that someone has already confessed before......"
"yes......"
The crowd whispered.
Cheng Ran said solemnly: "This official has sent people to search your place for the second time, and it has been found that many of the medicines you stored before were buried in a hidden place by you in the name of mold - let me ask you, what kind of disease are those medicines used to cure?" ”
"It's because my father suffers from wind cold and leg disease."
"The wind and cold are ill, and the pain is unbearable when you are sick, but the medicines you buried, and the prescriptions that you wrote on the spot, are mostly for conditioning, but they have almost no analgesic effect—what is the reason for this?"
Lord Cheng's face was full of seriousness, but his eyes quietly glanced at the two Zhang Luan brothers.
Cough, in fact, the remaining medicines are not without analgesic effects, as the previous Dr. Fu said, there is no big difference between whether there is this taste of Artemisia on the snow or not.
So, he said this in order to mislead.
This idea was come up with by the second master of the Zhang family.
He didn't agree, after all, lying in court was unacceptable, but the second master of the Zhang family asked him rhetorically - there is almost the word ', how can it be considered a lie?
It's just that it has almost no analgesic effect, how can it be a lie?
For this kind of method of playing with words, Master Cheng was stunned, and just wanted to say: He has made a friend of the second master of the Zhang family.
Where could Zhang Meiyan clearly know the effect of each medicine, and because she panicked, she immediately followed Cheng Ran's words and replied: "This prescription was obtained two years ago, and the prescription is no longer the original prescription...... Or maybe there was a missing ...... in the early days."
"But I remember that you said that this prescription was extremely effective, so you kept it. Wind and cold leg attack, the most important thing is to relieve pain, try to ask the prescription without analgesic effect, how can it be used so well? Isn't that a contradiction? ”
Cheng Ran sneered: "I'm afraid that it is fake for you to catch medicine for your father, and it is true that you took the opportunity to poison people!" ”
Zhang Meiyan's face suddenly turned pale.
"I didn't...... I just missed a medicine, how can adults conclude that I have a harmful heart based on this! ”
Deng Yu, who had just arrived, saw this scene, and his heart sank suddenly.
The Zhang family is unexpectedly narrow-minded and vicious, and they are still slandering Yan'er's sister!
"That's not enough to tell you that you're storing poison—but you just said that you don't remember that one of the medicines used to heal your father's illness was a herb like Artemisia, did you?"
"Yes......"
"And what is this?" Cheng Ran took out another prescription and asked: "After comparison, this is written by you, and this prescription is only one more branch of artemisia than the prescription you presented to the official before!" How do you explain that? ”
"I don't know where this prescription came from...... I don't remember ever writing...... "Zhang Meiyan was already drenched in cold sweat.
"This was found by my father yesterday near Miss Zhang's residence." Zhang Luan said aloud.
In order to prevent extraneous branches, it is inconvenient to publicize the affairs of the servants of the Deng family.
Anyway, his father is crazy, and it's best to take the blame or something.
And he's crazy, no one cares where he goes, what if he misses his eldest son who was kicked out of the house, and he stops by to take a look?
How plausible.
Zhang Meiyan secretly clenched her teeth.
How is this possible?
All the prescriptions related to Artemisia on the snow in her family have long been burned by her, how could anyone find them!
But she didn't dare to say this.
After reading the prescription, I insisted that it was not written by herself, but that someone deliberately imitated her handwriting.
"Whether it is imitation or not, the official has entrusted Li Dongyang and Master Li to come forward to compare, and Lord Li has concluded that this is the hand of the same person!"
Li Dongyang's calligraphy and painting attainments are extremely high, and he has always been known for his integrity and arrogance, and his credibility could not be higher.
As for why this Lord Li was invited to come forward, it was naturally indispensable to Liu Jian and Lord Liu's contributions.
Zhang Meiyan also knew that no matter how much she denied it at this time, it was in vain, so she could only say: "That...... I don't know if it was a prescription from a long time ago, but I just said that the prescription is missing now—"
"A long time ago? can make Miss Zhang can't remember the existence of this medicine, it must be too long. Zhang Jing got Cheng Ran's permission before he spoke, and his tone was extremely calm.
Zhang Meiyan tensed.
She was inexplicably frightened just by hearing this overly calm voice......
