Heping heard the county master say this, and he was not ambiguous.

"The villain went to Dawan Village with Lin Zhutou overnight last night to investigate what happened, and the drunkard's death was really an accident."

When the county lord heard this, his frowning brows stretched out, and his face was full of curiosity looking at peace.

"What do you mean by that?"

"My lord, my subordinates went to check and saw rats running through the drunkard's house from time to time, and there were some dead rats in the corner, and the drunkard also found a large amount of rat poison in his body after an autopsy."

"How can this prove that the dead man meant death."

When Heping heard the words of the county master, a smile of unknown meaning flashed in his eyes.

"The subordinates found a package of rat poison in the deceased's big post filled with water, and it has not been opened, and there are some rat bite marks on it, if someone poisoned it, how could he even forget to take the paper wrapped in rat poison!"

The county magistrate listened to the words of peace, and groaned slightly, and spoke again.

"There is indeed some truth to what the head catcher said, but it is not ruled out that the person who poisoned him was too panicked and accidentally dropped the stuff wrapped in rat poison in a hurry."

As if he had known that the county magistrate would say this, Heping did not hesitate to speak.

"The subordinates have investigated, the deceased went to the pharmacy to buy rat poison, and he has been there several times, and the shopkeeper is very familiar with him, and the subordinates have also asked the people who usually drink with the deceased, and they do know from their mouths that the deceased often complains to them that there are too many rats at home, and they have bought rat poison several times and have not been drugged to death."

After speaking, he looked at the people around him again, and finally looked at the county magistrate with a frank face.

"If the adults are afraid that these are the excuses made by the villain, you can summon the shopkeeper who sells the medicine, and those friends of the deceased."

The county magistrate looked at Heping's frank and upright demeanor, and he used to be fair and serious in the yamen, and he almost believed what he said.

But looking up at the eyes of the lively people at the gate, he took it back when he arrived.

"Then pass on the treasurer and the friends of the deceased."

As soon as Heping entered the yamen last night, he heard Lin Zheng and others talking about the county order daughter's torture of a girl's family, and Heping generally didn't care about these things.

When I was about to go home to rest, I suddenly heard Zhou Mei's name from the man's mouth, and I began to think that I had heard it wrong or that it had the same name or something.

Then he turned around and asked carefully, and then he was sure.

resisted the urge to rush into the cell to visit Meizi, and took Lin Zheng all the way to Dawan Village at night.

Fortunately, although the people of this county are sometimes confused, they dare not do this in major matters, except for the deceased's house, except for the body removed, everything in the house is the same as before.

As soon as the two of them entered the door, they were smoked by the rancid smell coming from the house, and they didn't pay attention to it, thinking that the family was usually too lazy and didn't have time to clean it to make it stink.

After that, the two of them looked at all the suspicious places in the house, and there was nothing suspicious about the courtyard wall or other places.

The two of them were immediately depressed, either they met a master, or the prisoner came in through the gate.

But looking at the lock of the door, there was no trace of being pried, and then the two wondered if it was an acquaintance who committed the crime.

Then Lin Zheng looked at the vat filled with water and complained.

"Oh, this person's house is still very clean! Why does it stink so much when you enter the door! ”

After Heping was stunned for a moment, there was a faint light in his two dark eyes, which made people a little afraid to look directly at the deep meaning of this pitch black.

"I see."

After saying that, he strode out.

After a while, he came in with a few dead mice, and Lin Zheng took advantage of the light in his hand to see the things in his hand clearly, and immediately screamed, and his body retreated again and again.

I accidentally hit the vat of water behind me, and by the time I made a crunch sound, it was too late.

"With big brother, do you want to scare me to death by making such a disgusting thing in the middle of the night?"

Heping stared at a certain place on the ground as if he hadn't heard Lin Zheng's words.

Lin Zheng also looked at Heping's eyes, and only then did he see clearly what Heping was staring at.

After that, the two of them searched for the rats overnight, went to check all the hospitals in the county, and then found the friends of the deceased.

As soon as the cause of death of the deceased was determined, he rushed over non-stop, but he didn't expect to be a step too late.

Looking at the scarred plum lying on the ground, Heping's face couldn't help flashing with chagrin and distress, and at this moment Heping told the cause of the deceased's death, looked back at Meizi with relief, and smiled at her.

In this majestic and fair court, the smile on the corner of the man's mouth and eyebrows left an indelible trace on Meizi's heart, and also made Meizi feel full of gratitude and touch when she remembered this moment in the future.

Soon those people were summoned to the court, and the county magistrate asked about what Heping said just now, and it was confirmed that it was true, and the shopkeeper also brought the account book, and the ink on it was indeed more than half a month ago, which confirmed the authenticity of what Heping said.

The final result was that Meizi was acquitted, Aunt Zhou was beaten for lying about the case, and she was taught a few words by the county magistrate, so she was more honest.

The county magistrate was also punished by the county magistrate, and asked him to come to the door to apologize to Meizi.

The court hurriedly refused last Tuesday, but where would the county magistrate care so much at the moment, he only listened to the words of the county master, and was relieved when he heard the punishment of the county master.

As for the county magistrate's daughter's torture of Meizi, the county magistrate naturally won't say much, and this is also a county magistrate's housework, and it is impossible to go to the court to talk about it.

As for the cause of the drunkard's death, it is estimated that the rat smelled the rat poison and thought it was something to eat, and passed over the beams of the house, and accidentally fell into the vat containing water below.

The drunkard's body has long been dead from drinking all year round, and the water in the tank itself is also small, and it is dark and he can't see the things in the tank clearly.

A large bag of rat poison goes down, not to mention a person with a normal body, let alone an alcoholic whose body has long been depleted!

That's why the drunkard was poisoned by the rat poison he bought home.

The matter has finally come to an end here, and the county magistrate announced Meizi's acquittal.

Tuesday River cried on the spot, Meizi just looked at a certain place in a daze, after the ups and downs of the past few days, her heart seemed to be connected to something, and her eyes also brought some light to the peace.
