Early the next morning, Jing Zhaoyin began to raise the court to question the case.

Meng Jingxian and An Sheng were both brought to the lobby.

Meng Shilang and Xia Yuanwai all rushed over, and Xia Yuanwai persuaded Xue's bitter words, but Xue's was Wang Ba's eating scales, and he was determined not to forgive.

Meng Jingxian still took everything on herself according to her confession yesterday, saying that the poison was given to Xue Xiuliang by herself, and it had nothing to do with An Sheng, and she chose An Sheng cleanly.

An Sheng was not reckless, kneeling beside him with his head bowed, silent.

In the palm of her hand, there was a note that was secretly stuffed into her by the official who took advantage of the inattention of others.

She folded her sleeves and unfolded them secretly, but after a glance, her heart was already clear, the corners of her lips turned up, and she puffed up a smile on her chest.

It was Leng Nanxian's handwriting, the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, and the iron painting silver hook.

Master is Master, and it's really amazing.

Xue and Xia Ziwu, who were the plaintiffs on the side, immediately quit: "Impossible, this matter is clearly her Xia Ansheng's doing, and she didn't run away." You think that Xiuliang is dead, so you can't do anything, you want to get by, don't you? ”

"Proof!"

Jing Zhaoyin asked.

Xue raised his face and replied: "That poison was born by Xia Ansheng, if it wasn't for Xia Ansheng's instructions, how would Miss Meng know that she Xia Ansheng had medicine in her hand?" Therefore, Xia Ansheng is the mastermind, and Meng Jingxian just wants to take it on behalf of others. Both are guilty, and no one can let go! ”

Jing Zhaoyin faced Xia Ansheng: "If this poison is really given to Miss Meng Family, then you can't escape the involvement, what do you have to say?" ”

An Sheng raised his face and said loudly: "Xue Xiuliang is true that I was stunned, it is because he plotted against Miss Meng, which is deserved." And the pill is also true that I gave to Miss Meng's family, but whether Xue Xiuliang died of poison because of this pill is still up for debate! ”

"Want to pass the buck?" Xue snorted coldly: "Who else could it be that you poisoned?" Could it be that Xiuliang can still commit suicide by taking poison by himself? ”

An Sheng shook his head: "No." ”

"That's it, your poisoning of Xiuliang is already conclusive."

An Sheng said unhurriedly: "However, there is another possibility, that is, someone took advantage of us to leave, entered the courtyard, and gave Xue Xiuliang another poison, causing him to die of poison." ”

"Nonsense!" Xue Shi retorted sharply: "In order to escape responsibility, you really do everything, and you can think of such an excuse." ”

"Whether it's an excuse or a fact, adults will know when they look up."

Jing Zhaoyin also asked An Sheng suspiciously: "You said that there was another person who poisoned Xue Xiuliang, is there any evidence?" ”

An Sheng shook his head honestly: "No." ”

"It's just your personal speculation, and it can't be used as a basis for judgment." Jing Zhaoyin's words were slightly embarrassed.

"The pills we gave Xue Xiuliang would only affect his mind, and he would definitely not take people's lives. If you don't believe it, you can take a living creature to verify, Xue Xiuliang's death has another strange story. ”

Xue Shi sneered: "But how can you prove that the medicine you gave Xiuliang is this one?" What if you're ready to steal the beams and change the columns? The two of you are in cahoots, you are in cahoots, and you are not to be believed. ”

Jing Zhaoyin's case was a little difficult to decide. Naturally, he was biased in his heart for Xia Ansheng and Meng Jingxian, but Xue has always been unrelenting, and he must have enough evidence and convincing reasons.

Therefore, listening to the two arguing in the lobby, they didn't say a word for a while.

An Sheng did not panic at all in the face of Xue's accusations: "Does the mother want to put her daughter to death, or does she want to avenge Xue Xiuliang?" ”

The Xue family naturally thought about both, but in front of everyone's eyes, he couldn't say it clearly, and snorted coldly: "I'm naturally just to avenge Xiuliang, what is it difficult for you to do?" ”

"Then there is obviously something else going on in this matter, why is the mother unwilling to pursue it and find the real murderer who killed Xue Xiuliang, but keeps holding on to her daughter and denying it all?"

Xue Shi was suddenly dumbfounded.

Xia Ziwu on the side said hatefully: "Because, these are just your prevarications, you just want to exonerate yourself." ”

"It's too early to say who will exonerate himself."

An Sheng sneered and chuckled, which made Xia Ziwu shiver inexplicably, and had a bad premonition in his heart.

"What do you mean by that?" She asked.

An Sheng looked at her and said straight to the point: "The third sister has been in contact with Xue Xiuliang these days, what are you planning and plotting, do you really not know when you are sister?" ”

Xia Ziwu's face suddenly had a look of panic that could not be concealed: "I don't understand what you're talking about?" ”

An Sheng directly pressed to the point: "Xue Xiuliang followed and coerced Jingxian, did you instigate it?" ”

"Nonsense!" Xia Ziwu denied: "I haven't seen Cousin Xiuliang at all, and I don't know that he is in the capital these days." ”

"Really?" An Sheng smiled coldly: "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, there will always be times when things come to light, let's take our time, I will always let you admit it." ”

Xia Ziwu couldn't help but tremble with a weak heart in her voice, and she was very inward-looking: "Who are you bluffing to scare?" ”

An Sheng smiled slightly, and replied to Jing Zhaoyin: "My lord, I request that a few witnesses be summoned to the court." ”

Jing Zhaoyin raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Witness? ”

An Sheng nodded confidently: "Yes, the witness in this case." ”

Jing Zhaoyin is a little unsettled now. When this little girl was summoned yesterday, she still looked at a loss, why did she fall asleep in a blink of an eye and speak so confidently?

Listening to the officials' reply, it was Yu Shizi who ran to the cell last night and was furious, and gave her extra preferential treatment.

It's not a problem, he's turning a blind eye.

Yu Shizi is a powerful person, but this inexplicable case can't be turned around overnight, right?

Jing Zhaoyin was shocked: "Witness." ”

As soon as the words fell, a person with a cheeky appearance walked up to the hall in fear, did not dare to raise his head, and knelt in front of the lobby.

Jing Zhaoyin didn't know why, so he asked, "Who is in the hall?" Why testify? Register your name. ”

When the man heard the question, he raised his head and carefully accompanied the smiling face: "Lord Hui, the little Li Shan, is the thug in charge of debt collection in the money bank. ”

As soon as Xia Ziwu saw that person, her face immediately changed drastically.

"And what do you know? What does this case have to do with it? Quick as it gets. ”

Li Shan swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously, and turned his face to point at Xia Ziwu: "Lord Qiyu, this young lady has a small understanding, some time ago, the deceased Xue Xiuliang owed us money in Qianzhuang, and when I was chasing it, it was this young lady who paid off the debt for him." The little one heard with her own ears that Xue Xiuliang called her cousin. ”

Then he took out two hairpins from his arms and handed them over: "These two hairpins are used by this young lady to pay off Xue Xiuliang's debts." ”

As soon as Xue Shi saw the hairpin, his heart suddenly understood, and he glanced at Xia Ziwu suspiciously, but he didn't say a word.

Jing Zhaoyin turned to Xia Ziwu and asked, "What he said is the truth?" ”

The human and material evidence is there, and Xia Ziwu can't deny it, nodding reluctantly, and honestly admitting: "It's the truth." However, after the folk girl paid off Xue Xiuliang's debts, they broke up and never saw each other again. ”

An Sheng sneered: "Didn't my sister Shicai keep saying that she didn't know that Xue Xiuliang was in the capital?" ”

Xia Ziwu defended hesitantly: "It's been so long, I'm not sure. Besides, have I ever met my cousin, does it have anything to do with this case? ”

"Naturally, sister, don't worry, let's try slowly. An Sheng just wants everyone to know that Xue Xiuliang lives in that deserted mansion, which is not very hidden, and my third sister may also know about it, and will often visit him. An Sheng turned his face to look at Jing Zhaoyin: "I implore you to continue to summon witnesses." ”

Jing Zhao Yin Ping retreated from this splash, and the official passed the order to go.

This time, a man of about fifty years old, dressed in a gray gown and a goatee, had a face as gray as his gown.

There is no need to interrogate this time, this person Jing Zhaoyin knows. It is the surname Tao in the yamen, and he is called "the old head".

Jing Zhaoyin asked in surprise: "Old man, what are you doing here?" ”

The old man carried a small wooden box in his hand, the size of a carpenter's toolbox. went up to the hall, set it aside, and then lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down.

"Lord Qiyu, the villain re-examined the body of the deceased Xue Xiuliang last night, and there is a new discovery."

"What's new?"

"Xue Xiuliang was poisoned by arsenic, dissolved with water, poured into his abdomen, and died of poison, not the pill confessed by the defendant."

Xue immediately retorted: "How do you know that the arsenic was not fed by them?" Perhaps their confessions were concealed. ”

The old man unhurriedly took out a paper bag from the wooden box, opened it and presented it to Jing Zhaoyin: "Xue Xiuliang has actually lost the ability to swallow on his own after being knocked unconscious. The defendant shoved the pills into his mouth and left. There are pills that get stuck in the mouth and do not melt, and they are not swallowed into the stomach. And even if arsenic was poured into it later, the pill was lucky not to enter the throat, and there was still a little residue under the tip of the tongue. It has been tested and is not toxic. ”

Meng Jingxian on the side listened, full of joy and a little excited: "Let's just say that there is someone else who poisoned it, right?" ”

Xia Ziwu snorted coldly: "Even so, what? It only shows that my cousin did not die from this pill, and it does not mean that the murderer is not you. ”

Jing Zhaoyin nodded: "These details can't exonerate you. ”

An Sheng nodded, meaningful: "I know, I just want to say that there is another possibility that Xue Xiuliang's death can be established." ”

"No matter which possibility it is, it was you and Meng Jingxian who were at the scene at the time, there was no one else, the murderers were the two of you, there is no need to go around and talk about these useless things."

Xia Ziwu fell into the well and was immediately convicted.

An Sheng smiled confidently: "That's not necessarily. My lord, I have witnesses. ”
