Zhang Yaozhuo waved his hand, and the official stepped back.

The king of Guangling County smiled unhurriedly.

"Why didn't you try it? What is the king waiting to see? ”

In an instant, Xin Yi saw the ever-changing emotions on Zhang Yaozhuo's face. Embarrassment, anger, helplessness, and anxiety about the unknown.

Xin Yi had to sigh at the magical power of the human design. Fu Jiuqu was born with an unpleasant but helpless energy. A look, a smile, and nothing to say, but it brings endless pressure.

"Ahem!"

Zhang Yaozhuo was shocked and no longer moved.

"Xiao Zhang, this mansion asks you again, what is the relationship between you and Cui You and Deputy Cao Du? And who instructed you to poison people with strychnine? ”

Xin Yi smiled faintly, "My lord, from beginning to end, there is only one person who uses poison, and that is Chen Chusheng, the former medical officer of the Hanlin Academy disguised as Cui You. Cao and I both have no personal relationship and don't know each other well......"

Zhang Yaozhuo: "In front of the king of Guangling County, do you still dare to talk nonsense?" You and Cao Du are not familiar with each other, why did you chase him in public at Yunqi Bridge, and why did Cao Du Zhi give you a magnolia hairpin? Also, this government reminds you that Chen Chusheng has already died in a fire in the first year of Qingli, and you can't talk about it. ”

Xin Yi pursed his dry mouth and turned his head to look at Fu Jiuqu.

"The king of Guangling County can testify for the people's daughter."

"Nonsense!" Zhang Yaozhuo grabbed the shocking wood and was about to shoot it......

"Not bad. I testify. Fu Jiuqu's slender fingers fiddled with the jade wrench, and he said lazily and plainly.

"The king of the county?" Zhang Yaozhuo's complexion changed slightly.

Fu Jiuquyun smiled lightly, "On the day of the incident, I was in the Medicine King Tower, and I was an eyewitness. Although Lord Zhang did not pass me on to testify, as an official of the imperial court, this king has an unshirkable responsibility. ”

Zhang Yaozhuo was dumbfounded.

In the past, Fu Jiuqu had always had an attitude that no one should be offended in the open and secret struggle between the Zhang and Cao families, but today he testified for Xiao Zhang's family in court, which was equivalent to coming out for Cao Yi, which made Zhang Yaozhuo very annoyed.

"Can the county king think clearly?"

Fu Jiuqu: "My ears are not deaf, and my memory is acceptable." ”

The two are not the same thing.

Zhang Yaozhuo was a little annoyed and laughed.

"According to the secret letter, the mastermind behind the water ghost case was in the Medicine King Tower that day. The king of the county thought, who is that man? ”

This is a warning to Fu Jiuqu, if the mastermind behind the scenes is not Cao Yi, then he will be suspicious, why bother to get into trouble?

Fu Jiuqu smiled playfully and did not answer the rhetorical question.

"Lord Zhang, do you have any other witnesses and evidence to be presented to the court?"

Zhang Yaozhuo didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he frowned and shook his head.

Fu Jiuqu's eyes twitched, as if he was smiling.

"That's my turn."

Without giving Zhang Yaozhuo a chance to speak, Fu Jiuqu lightly high-fived, "Sun Huai-"

Before he finished speaking, there was a commotion and shouting outside the lobby.

A group of people tiptoed their heads and stretched their necks to look in, carrying baskets in their hands and children hanging on their backs, all villagers from Zhangjia Village.

"We're going to meet the adults."

"We're here to petition."

"Lord Qingtian, there is a grievance!"

The officials stopped in front with horizontal knives, but there were a lot of villagers, and they pushed and shoved for a while, and their voices were sharp, attracting more onlookers.

The street in front of Kaifeng Mansion was surrounded by water.

The official had to bang the gong to stop it.

"Silence! Quiet. ”

The noise came into the lobby, and Zhang Yaozhuo looked at Fu Jiuqu, who had a faint expression, and sneered and slapped the shocking wood.

"Come on, bring the troublemakers to the court."

Hula, a group of people squeezed in, and the officials brought the leading three or five into the hall. Xin Yi saw that the people at the front were Xiao Cao Niangzi and Uncle Zhang, as well as the patriarch of Zhangjia Village.

Several people held the petition in their hands, came up and bowed down and then made a statement for Xin Yi.

"Master Qingtian, Zhang Xiaoniang has good medical skills, practices medicine honestly, and has treated countless women and children in Zhangjia Village, widows and orphans, she is a very good person! The whole village didn't believe that she would poison people, so we wrote a petition and sent it to the adults, asking the adults to look at it......"

The petition was densely packed with the names of the villagers.

The name is stamped with red handprints, a long piece of paper, and it looks very amazing.

Xin Yi was very surprised.

Xiao Cao Niangzi has a good relationship with her, and Uncle Zhang will also defend her, but they may not necessarily think of this method. Even if they do, how can they encourage the villagers to write petitions?

Did Fu Jiuqu do it?

Still is... Cao Yi?

Xin Yi's lips squirmed, and his eyes stared at Fu Jiuqu inquiringly.

Fu Jiuqu smiled, his eyebrows raised, like a spring breeze.

"Master Zhang." Fu Jiuqu's gaze swept over Xiao Xie and Liu's mother and son who were kneeling in the hall, "The three Diao people disrupted the court and openly deceived the adults, and they will be punished heavily!" ”

With the villagers' petition, Xiao Xie's words that everyone in Zhangjia Village hated Xin Yi were obviously untenable. Then, the testimony in her mouth loses credibility.

Zhang Yaozhuo coughed lightly, "King of the county, although Xiao Xie's confession is a family's words, but the matter of Ma Nuzi's poisoning, Xiao Zhang's still can't be denied......"

Xin Yi smiled suddenly, "Lord Zhang, Xiao Xie's swear that she heard with her own ears that I and the Wang Butcher conspired to poison the horse money, and also said that the Wang Butcher asked me to put away the poison so that no one would find out." So, I would like to ask, how did I poison others with strychnine? ”

Xiao Xie looked at her in a daze for a moment and stammered.

"Poison naturally has to be eaten. I'm not you, how do I know how you poisoned? ”

Xin Yi suddenly laughed.

It is a consensus that strychnine is poisoned. However, it seems that there is no third person except her and Chen Chusheng who knows the ways and methods of poisoning. The person who colluded with Xiao Xie to frame her obviously didn't know either.

"You're so stupid and bad!" Xin Yi said calmly: "The poison of strychnine is not in food or drinking water, but through the strychnine tree planted on the side of the canal, and the fruit naturally falls into the canal, after soaking for a long time, the peel will rot, and the toxin will seep into the water...... Moreover, this poison does not have to be consumed, and pregnant women use water lotion in the canal to reuse clothing and cloth, which also has an impact on the fetus. ”

Xin Yi told Chen Chusheng's careful poisoning method in public. At the same time, she also explained the real purpose and reason for Chen Chusheng's revenge on Zhangjiacun.

She said very loudly, as if she was complaining and venting for the pain of Chen Chusheng's annihilation, and her words were cold and shocked.

The faces of the people had already changed.

The villagers outside the lobby also sighed.

Xin Yi continued: "Since there is such a meticulous way of poisoning, and the gods can harm people without knowing it, why do I have to do this extra thing, take the strychnine to pull and pull with the pig killer like the Wang butcher, and let the little Xie clan see it and grab my handle?" Am I afraid that others will not know? Who's lying, my lord knows. ”

Xiao Xie shivered and screamed, "If you didn't poison it, how could you know so clearly?" ”

Xin Yi smiled slightly, "I'm a doctor, idiot!" ”

Zhang Yaozhuo was shocked.

"Come on, take Xiao Xie down and wait for the fate."

Xiao Xie looked left and right, panicked, crying and screaming that he was wronged. Zhang Yaozhuo thought she was in the way, and he was already impatient, waved his hand, and the official took the person down.

When the crying was gone, Zhang Yaozhuo put on a smiling face and arched his hand to Fu Jiuqu.

"King Jun, even if Xiao Xie's family lied, the evidence of the piles and piles all pointed to Xiao Zhang's family, and it was not the speculation and slander of this mansion."

"Master Zhang is reasonable." Fu Jiuqu smiled and slowly turned his head, "Sun Huai-"

"Your Excellency!" A servant hurriedly came in and interrupted Fu Jiuqu again.

"Jingzhao Junjun and the eldest girl of Caofu asked to see each other outside the hall, saying that they came to testify."

Zhang Yaozhuo looked at Fu Jiuqu.

Fu Jiuqu slowly glanced at Xin Yi, raised his eyebrows, smiled like nothing, and waved his hand to signal Sun Huai to wait.

A Guangling county king is endless, and another Jingzhao county monarch is coming? Zhang Yaozhuo's heart was a little cold, but as the chief official of Kaifeng Mansion, he had to go down with his head.

"Please!"

The officials on both sides shouted "mighty" with killing sticks.

In the public court, the atmosphere was inexplicably low.

Gao Miao walked out of it, still with a cold and indifferent expression, and didn't look at Xin Yi more. Cao Yilan was even more angry, seeing Fu Jiuqu in the lobby, she couldn't stretch out the knife in her eyes.

However, in the face of Zhang Yaozhuo's inquiry, Cao Yilan had to speak for Xin Yi with a bad mouth.

"The magnolia hairpin is a gift from me, I saw the wrong person at Yunqi Bridge that day, and misunderstood Mrs. Zhang, so I asked Uncle Seven to take the hairpin to apologize to her. Lord Zeng of Kaifeng Mansion saw this with his own eyes, didn't he tell Lord Zhang? ”

Zeng Qinda smiled awkwardly.

Gao Miao took over the words and said with a cold face: "What Miss Cao said, I can testify." ”

Seeing this, Xin Yi smiled, "My lord, in fact, Cui Langzhong and I, that is, Chen Chusheng, went to the canal to see the strychnine tree that day, and the county monarch followed me. She saw with her own eyes that I fished out the rotten kernels of the canal and knocked the fruit off the trees and took it away. Let me ask, if I have the intention to harm others, why do I have to do more? ”

Gao Miao frowned slightly and said coldly.

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, and I can testify to it."

Zhang Yaozhuo glanced at the two of them and asked lukewarmly: "Jun Jun and Xiao Zhang's friendship?" ”

Gao Miao's face was expressionless, "I can't talk about friendship." But Mrs. Zhang saved her little nephew's life, and everyone in Zhangjia Village knows it. ”

Witness evidence, one by one, was shattered.

Zhang Yaozhuo paused, his eyes cold.

"Since the case has changed, the government should deal with it seriously. This concludes today's trial. To be ascertained, a retrial will be held at a later date......"

A delaying tactic?

Xin Yi felt compassion in his heart, but he heard Fu Jiuqu chuckle.

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day."

Every time he spoke, he gave people a feeling that he was winning, so much so that Zhang Yaozhuo didn't want to touch his smiling eyes head-on.

"The king of the county, even if what the king said is true, Xiao Zhang's coerced Dong Dahai, colluded with Ma Fan and Cui You to go to the Yaowang Tower, killed people, and set fire to the tower. Who is behind her and what her intentions are, this government must investigate to the end......"

"I'll give you the evidence that Master Zhang wants." Fu Jiuqu laughed wickedly and lazily, and finally said the words that had been interrupted again and again.

"Sun Huai, present it!"
