Chapter 147: Casting a Long Line to Catch a Big Fish
Many people know that the treasure land of the Lin family in the western suburbs has recently been forcibly bought and sold, so the people who are watching the trial at this moment somewhat understand what is going on.
Those who didn't know each other secretly said bad luck for the women in the hall, and those who knew were angry.
Mu Ran was surprised, "Is there really such a thing?"
"The property of the deed is here, and this matter is true. The prefect nodded.
"Tsk, I've seen a thief shouting to catch a thief, but I've never seen you such an arrogant thief. Li Yuanquan sneered, shook the fan slowly, and looked at the panicked woman with disdain.
"My lord, the people's daughter should add an additional pleading, accusing Li Yuanquan and Lin Cheng of plotting to deceive the people's daughter with two thousand taels of silver, and slandering the people's daughter's reputation. β
"Hmph, you really don't see the Yellow River and don't give up. Li Yuanquan laughed out loud, and then lazily said to the prefect, "Lord Prefect, now that the evidence is there, and the defendant's words have no basis, please judge earlier, my son is very busy." β
A trace of disrespected anger flashed in the prefect's eyes, but it was quickly covered, he turned his eyes to look at the woman, with a trace of helplessness and pity in his eyes, but he was not sorry and uneasy, even if the other party was a great pharmacist, but the Li family was not only the richest man in Liyang, but there was also an evil king behind him, which was incomparable to thousands of great pharmacists.
"Miao Yu, since you accused Li Yuanquan and Lin Fu of defrauding you, is there any evidence?"
"At that time, there were only two people, Minnu and Lin Fu, and there was no other certified physical evidence except for a few guards sent by Li Yuanquan in the middle of the road. β
"Oh, Li Yuanquan, this official would like to ask you, was your guard present at the beginning of the transaction?"
"Lord Hui, the land in the western suburbs already belongs to the Li family, and Li naturally wants to send someone to guard it strictly to prevent thieves. Li Yuanquan said slowly, his eyes pointed to Miao Yu, and said, "In addition, I said before that there is no such thing as buying and selling spiritual grass, it must be that some people steal spiritual grass first, and arson comes later." β
"Since this is the case, then pass on Lin Fu to the hall first. The prefect looked at the two of them, and then at the bystanders who were pointing and pointing at them outside, and only felt a special headache.
"The Forest Talismanβ"
After a while, Lin Fu, who looked haggard and disgraced, was brought up.
"See the prefect. β
"Lin Fu, this official summoned you to the court to ask you a few questions, around noon three days ago, did you do a spiritual grass deal with this Miao girl?"
Lin Fu has been keeping his head down since he came in, and he can't continue to keep it low, so he can only glance at Miao Yu in a hurry, and then said, "My lord clearly sees that the villain has resold the Spirit Grass Garden, including the Spirit Grass, to Li Gongzi three days ago, and has not done any Spirit Grass business since then. β
"Oh, is that true?"
"It's true, the grass people don't dare to deceive the adults. β
"Miao Yu, what else do you have to say now. The prefect turned to look at Miao Yu, everything was expected, and the prefect was not surprised.
"Back to my lord, the folk girl has no other evidence, and can only say that what the folk girl said is true. β
"Tsk, a dead duck has a hard mouth, and thieves naturally won't admit that they are thieves. Li Yuanquan sneered disdainfully.
"Silence. The prefect's deep and majestic voice sounded.
Li Yuan's face darkened, and he almost lost his temper, but when he thought of the old man's thousands of instructions not to cause trouble during the evil king's arrival, he slowly suppressed his anger, snorted coldly and stopped speaking, but when he looked at the prefect, he was cold.
The prefect was numb when he saw it, so he could only quickly prepare to flee the battlefield, "Miao Yu, there is no basis for what he said, but Li Yuanquan has conclusive evidence, and there is already a judgment on which is right and which is not, and the government pronounces the verdict ......"
"Wait. A melodious and low female voice sounded in the hall with a bit of toughness.
The prefect's face darkened when he was interrupted, and he slapped the shocked wood heavily, "Prisoner Miao Yu, what else can you say?"
"Lord Prefect, it is rash to make a judgment based on just a few words from the other party, even if the deed has really changed hands, then what evidence is there to show that it is the people's daughter who set the fire, besides, Li Gongzi also said that the Lingcao Garden has its own guards to guard, so how can the people's daughter, who is powerless, set fire to the spirit grass under their noses, and can still retreat?"
"This ......" the prefect paused, turning his head to look at Li Yuanquan.
Li Yuanquan sneered, "Maybe she's just pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, my lord, my guards have had a fight with her, this woman knows martial arts, and she is a dual cultivator of medicine and martial arts." I don't know how many people have been harmed under the pretext of being powerless. β
Everyone who heard it was amazed, it turned out to be a dual cultivation of medicine and martial arts! And he could reach the level of a great pharmacist at such a young age, wouldn't that be a genius?
"Empty mouth and white fangs, what proof do you have, everything is just your thief shouting to catch a thief. Mu Ran also sneered back.
Li Yuanquan narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a smile, "I want to prove, what's so difficult about this, as long as people try it, people will always give up everything in times of crisis to protect themselves, and it just so happens that these two martial artists around my son can try it on my behalf, I don't know if adults can allow it?"
The prefect opened his mouth, turned his head and frowned at Mu Ran, although he hesitated, but he was helpless, the situation was stronger than people, "It is indeed a good way." β
"Prefect, what does this mean? Mu Ran's voice was slightly cold, and Qingli's face was also frosted, and she looked sideways at the official who was sent by the prefect to slowly approach her.
"It's just forensics. β
Even as an official of the imperial court, he has no right to lynch an innocent person, and the so-called punishment can be regarded as the injured. β
"If you really don't know martial arts, this official can also give another chance to investigate, but if you know martial arts, then you can't help but interrogate well. β
"Then if I really don't know martial arts, what if I'm injured and disabled!"
"The government will personally apologize and acquit you. β
"Hehe, a good verdict of not guilty, I heard how good the evil king of Rui was under the rule, it doesn't seem to be true, even the court officials are so mediocre and absurd and incompetent, it's not much better. β
The prefect's face sank, and he was already a little impatient, so he waved his hand directly and motioned for the official to go up.
Mu Ran looked at the official who was walking quickly, sneered, glanced at it lightly, and finally landed on Li Yuan's whole body with a sneer, and snorted, "Who dare!"
"Miao Yu, in order to clear the crime, this government advises you to cooperate. β
Mu Ran turned his head to look at the prefect, and his face no longer had the indifferent atmosphere just now, but with a hint of banter and ridicule that seemed to be smiling, "If you want me to cooperate, then please ask the adults about this sign first." β
The prefect watched her take out a black brand, her brows furrowed slightly, and the impatience and displeasure on her face became more and more obvious, but when she saw the badge pattern on the sign clearly, her complexion changed dramatically.
First surprised, then suspicious, then uncertain, and finally panicked, "You, you!"
The smug smile on Li Yuanquan's original face instantly froze at the corner of his mouth when he saw this brand.
He stood closer to Miao Yu, so he could see more clearly, and the first thing he saw was the middle-aged red pattern of the brand.
The ebony card of the Alchemy Society, how is it possible!
"Although there are not many explicit regulations, the Alchemy Society has reached an agreement with all countries in the world, and the privileges enjoyed by alchemists in each country include safety and security. Mu Ran Shi Ran said.
The crowd of onlookers outside was surprised and wondered why Yu Zhifu and Li Yuanquan suddenly changed their faces, and when they heard the medicine refining meeting, they all widened their eyes.
The Alchemy Society can be said to be the yearning of most of the world's alchemists, and for more than a thousand years, it can be said that almost two-thirds of the world's alchemists are in the Alchemy Society.
It is better to offend martial arts cultivators, but it is absolutely impossible to offend alchemists, let alone the base camp of alchemists.
Therefore, doctors who join the Alchemy Society will enjoy certain rights.
Ebony card, as long as it is a person with a little fame, a little status and a little power, most of them will not know that it is made by the president of the Alchemy Society, except for the president and vice president, others who take this thing cannot do whatever they want in the Alchemy Society, but at least they can be regarded as the same level as the elders of the Alchemy Society.
They will not doubt the authenticity, because no one in this world dares to forge the brand made by the president for the sake of the world, offending the medicine saint, probably not wanting to live.
So after a few moments of seeing the sign, they were sure that the sign was real.
Then the faces of the two were even more ugly, but this time they were more annoyed and worried.
Especially Li Yuanquan.
He didn't expect that just casually dealing with a woman who seemed insignificant and uninteresting would be an existence that could not be offended in the Medicine Refining Society.
He is arrogant and reckless, but he is not a stupid person, he knows very well what he can and cannot do, and who can offend and who he cannot.
For Miao Yu this time, he was just angry, but he didn't expect to attract such a big fish.
The prefect was almost stupid, his face was blue and white, and his eyes were full of remorse and uneasiness.
"If it is a last resort, the folk girl doesn't want to use this brand, my lord, I don't know if the folk girl may ask for a thorough investigation now?"
The prefect returned to his senses and subconsciously looked at Li Yuanquan.
Li Yuanquan's heart was in chaos, and he was a little at a loss, and he didn't know how to deal with it.
The old man told him not to make trouble at this juncture, and now he ...... It is now likely that the events of today will soon reach the ears of the evil king.
With the evil king's temperament and the fact that the other party is still a high-level member of the Alchemy Society, it is needless to say who will be sacrificed and who will be preserved.
Maybe in order to leave a good impression on Miao Yu and the Refining Medicine Valley, the Li family will be investigated again.
The prefect looked at Li Yuanquan, who was a little lost and depressed, so bitter that his tongue was bitter, so he could only nod with a bitter face, "What Miss Miao said is extremely true, since the evidence is insufficient, there are quite a lot of doubts in this case, so let's check it first." Therefore, the government announced that the case will be here for the time being, and will be discussed again when definite evidence is found. β
Only the master and Li Yuanquan and the two entourages saw the ebony card, and the others didn't know what it was, thinking that their surprise was because the other party was a member of the Refining Medicine Valley.
