"You talk nonsense!" Gao Liang didn't expect Luo Qianhuai to mention this old matter in the court, and denied it repeatedly: "Back then, the case of Wen Pu was personally tried by Lord Xu, the commander of the Changling Command, and I will only assist in verifying it out of public intentions - you say that I am committing perjury, but where are you going to put Lord Xu?" ”

Gao Liang said it vigorously, but Luo Qianhuai just smiled indifferently and said to Huo Yu: "My lord, Gao Langzhong keeps saying that he is not familiar with the little girl, but he can even say the name of his uncle without thinking. ”

"This is either a good family, or a deep resentment, in short, they lied in court - this person's previous accusations against the little girl are naturally not credible."

"You!" Gao Liang was angry, but he had nothing to refute, so he could only say to Huo Yu with a blank eye: "My lord, I can't listen to this thief, the villain has been practicing medicine in Changlingyi for many years, and he has always had an outstanding reputation, and he has always had a good relationship with Lord Xu and Lord Si Koubai."

"That's enough." When Huo Yu heard this, his face showed hesitation, and he turned to ask the King of the Pulp Cake, who had not spoken:

"Do you recognize this bread?" The messenger handed over the piece of dry and hard cake, and the king of the marrow cake shook his hand and took it, pinched it, and sniffed it to the end of his nose, and nodded and said, "My lord, it's right that the cake was made by the villain." ”

"Who might you remember the buyer?"

The King of the Pulp Cake smiled bitterly: "If it is not for the villain's prevarication, I really can't think of it." The villain's marrow cake is quite popular in Changlingyi, and it can sell at least five or six hundred pieces a day, where can it remember every buyer? ”

Speaking of what he was good at, his courage gradually grew, and his voice was not as low as Fang Cai: "And this marrow cake can be stored for a long time, even if it is left for two or three months, it can still be eaten." For example, this piece of cake has been stored for ten days to a month, and no matter how good the villain's memory is, it can't help the adult. ”

Huo Yu asked him to take him down the hall. Her eyes swept over Luo Qianhuai inadvertently, and she saw a pair of black and white eyes, looking at herself intently, which were full of trust and worship - Rao knew that most of her was pretending, and her heart was still a little softer.

"The facts of the case are clear. Gao Langzhong and Luo Niangzi's relatives have always had grievances, and their testimony is not credible. Since Luo Niangzi has proven her innocence, Gao Langzhong should sit back if she makes a false accusation. In view of the fact that he was a bitter master, the official gave him a favor, and he was exempted from exile with a spine rod, and only sentenced to compensate Luo Niangzi for a box of Cordyceps. In the hall, they made a knot and went home. ”

"Your Excellency!" Gao Liang couldn't believe the verdict he heard. He had obviously mentioned the names of Xu Kai and Bai Ming, and it stands to reason that Master Huo would give some face, but he didn't expect him to care at all, and let himself give away the box of Cordyceps worth hardware for nothing.

His heart was bleeding, and as soon as he called out like this, Huo Yu's gaze swept over, as indifferent as if he was looking at a dead thing.

Gao Liang's heart trembled suddenly, and he suddenly remembered the rumors about this adult in the market, it is said that there are not 1,000 but 800 mountain bandits killed in Xinzhou, and they don't take human life seriously at all.

He swallowed back what he was about to say, and spit it out into another sentence: "The big man is clear, and the small heart is convinced." ”

The scribe copied the verdict in duplicate and asked them to sign and sign it. After Luo Qianhuai signed, another errand took the box of cordyceps that was originally used as evidence and sent it to her.

Gao Liang thought that he had broken the money to eliminate the disaster, and was just about to leave after finishing the painting, but was stopped by Luo Qianhuai.

"Gao Lang is medium and slow. Today is a rare good day, and the little girl just wants to take this opportunity to ask the adult to show the unjust case of my uncle. ”

Her bright eyes sparkled on Huo Yu's face, who was about to get up and leave, but was stumped by this look and sat down again.

"Luo Niangzi, the case that has been settled, how can you turn it over casually?" Gao Liang frowned patiently and said, "The evidence in Uncle Ling's case is conclusive, I advise you not to waste your efforts in vain and waste Lord Huo's time." ”

Luo Qianhuai didn't pay attention to him, only raised his head and looked at Huo Yu and waited for him to show him.

Her move today did not discuss with him in advance, which somewhat disrupted his plan, if she followed her previous temperament, she would definitely leave with her sleeves up, and completely invalidate the previous agreement.

But I don't know why, Huo Yu is willing to make an exception for her.

"This official has not been in office for a long time, and he does not know much about the past. I don't know which old case Luo Niangzi is talking about? ”

"Your Excellency." Luo Qianhuai bowed down and briefly talked about the case involved in Wen Pu back then. Immediately, a scribe found the case file of that year and presented it to Huo Yu for reading.

He read it carefully, raised his eyes and asked, "There are all the evidence and material evidence in this case, why did Luo Niangzi question the original verdict?" ”

"My lord, the little girl accidentally learned the day before yesterday that there is something strange in this case. Zheng Xun, the husband of the deceased Zheng Yan, was originally the concubine of the Zheng family in Xijing, and after the death of the two, all the family property was swallowed up by the Zheng family, and a pair of children were also sold into slavery. ”

Every word she said today has been carefully thought out in advance to ensure that the narrative is clear and concise: "Back then, Zheng Yan died of the aconitum poison contained in the raw aconite, and the Zheng family's concubine tried to poison people with refined aconite, and wanted to blame other doctors. Afterwards, she admitted that the preparation method of this aconitum poison was a secret in the family, and she had done similar things before. ”

"So the little girl thinks that the Zheng family has both the motive and the actual ability to kill in this case, but the uncle is just eager to save people, and mistakenly became a substitute for the dead."

"Then where is the Zheng girl now?" Huo Yu cooperated with her and asked.

"It's outside the court." Luo Qianhuai respectfully agreed, and an errand ran down to the hall, and brought people forward in a moment.

Last night, Luo Qianhuai arranged overnight to order Xingjiu to send a letter to Bai Zhenye, although the other party didn't want to make the family ugly public, but in the end, it was not a face, so he asked Bai Ying, the chief steward of the Bai family, to personally escort the Zheng family over.

As for Luo Qianhuai's words, Bai Ying also told her. Bai Zhenye can support such a big foundation of the Bai family, and he is naturally not a soft-hearted person. Even if she still has a little brotherhood for Bai Zhentang, she doesn't need a poisonous woman like Zheng, so she used some means, which were enough to make her confess everything she knew.

Zheng had been brought to the hall with her legs broken and scars on her hands and face. It's just that nowadays concubines are bought and sold, and the master has the right to punish and dispose of them, even if she is in the court, no one will open her eyes for her.

Huo Yu patted the shocked wood, and in a few words, he got the truth out of Zheng's mouth. It is the same as what Luo Qianhuai said, and he also specifically mentioned the second uncle of the Zheng family, saying that the bottle of aconitum poison was obtained from him.

"Coincidentally, when the children of Zheng Yan's family were sold some time ago, they happened to be bought by the little girl, and they are also in the hall at the moment, and adults can also summon them for questioning."

Huo Yu nodded and summoned Yan Shu and Yan Ning to the court. Yan Ning was still young, and only Yan Shu explained what happened that year.

"There are indeed suspicious aspects of this case, and this official has agreed to re-try it at a later date." After Huo Yu heard this, he made a final decision, and ordered Luo Qianhuai, Gao Liang and others to step back first, wait for the official investigation to be completed, and gather the relevant people before the trial.
