I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

Of course, Fan Tong knew in his heart that it was absolutely impossible to get out of the way, and he would definitely have to bear the guilt.

But as long as he gets rid of the pot, at least he can avoid prison, and at worst, he will lose his official position and return to his hometown. Anyway, he has made enough money over the years, and he can enjoy peace and happiness when he returns to his hometown.

Hearing Fan Tong's explanation, the presiding officer looked sideways and said, "So, Mr. Fan used severe punishment to force Yang Zhongshan and Yang Zhongshan to confess their guilt?"

Fan Tong said embarrassingly: "Hey, Mr. Xu, the lower official has indeed neglected his duties, but this time, the lower official will definitely cooperate with the three adults to find out the truth.

At present, it seems that Nalou Ashu and Lan Cuihua are the most suspected, and it is very likely that they planted the blame.

Therefore, the lower official suggested that it is better to send someone to arrest the two in court, how about confronting Yang Chongshan and Zhu Bai in court? "

"Well, the two of Lou Ashu are indeed suspicious."

The presiding judge nodded, then threw down a stick and ordered: "Come here, go and charge Lou Ashu and Yang Lan's family to the court!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The hall responded, and several guards turned around and walked out of the courtroom.

Looking at the backs of several guards, Fan Tong's heart skipped a beat for some reason, and he faintly felt something was wrong.

"Master Fan, what are you still standing here for? Go back to your seat."

"Yes, yes, the officer will go back now, I will go back now"

Fan Tong returned to the seat beside him in a daze.

"Master Zhifu, I have secretly sent people to look for them separately, but they did not find Lou Ashu, they must have fled far away, sir, don't worry."

The pusher sitting on the side whispered something.

"hope"

Fan Tong sighed.

It didn't take long, and the hope was completely shattered!

Because the guards who left before dragged a man and a woman to the court like a dead dog. It was Lou Ashu and Lan Cuihua who had been missing for several days.

This pair of dogs and men did not run away after hearing the news, but were secretly locked up in advance.

At that time, when Emperor Yongping summoned the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, he had already shown him the pleading paper written by Gu Ming.

As soon as Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice returned, he secretly sent people to leave Beijing quickly, and started to act in advance, in case someone jumped over the wall in a hurry and killed people to silence them.

Seeing Lou Ashu and Lan Cuihua being taken to court, Fan Tong almost fainted on the spot

He knew that everything was over!

Afterwards, the presiding officer summoned several witnesses one after another, and these people were the servants of the Yang family and the maids of Lan Cuihua's natal family.

After some confrontation in court, the truth of the matter finally began to surface.

Those servants were frightened as soon as they came to the court, and they began to confess without any punishment.

Of course, they did not participate in the case, they just revealed some secret things in court

Yang Chongshan could guess that there must be something tricky between his wife Lan Cuihua and his god-brother Lou Ashu, but he was unwilling to point it out or face it because of his face.

But now, I heard a few servants confess that before that, Lan Cuihua often went back to her mother's house for the secret meeting with Lou Ashu.

Everyone in the Lan House, including Lan Cuihua's parents, knew about this, but everyone pretended to be confused.

And after Yang Chongshan was imprisoned, the two became even more unscrupulous, and Lou Ashu ran to Yang's mansion every now and then

On the surface, they are a pair of sisters and brothers, but secretly, who among the servants does not know the affair between the two?

However, how dare people talk too much nowadays?

"Snapped!"

After a few servants narrated the whole thing, the presiding judge slapped the gavel heavily, and shouted at Lou Ashu: "Lou Ashu, what do you have to argue?"

"Adults, villains know their mistakes"

Lou Ashu knew that it was useless to deny it, because almost all the servants of the two families knew about it, so they simply admitted it.

According to his confession, he just wanted to show off when he first came to Lan's house, but he accidentally saw the charming Lan Cuihua, and his heart couldn't help but start to move.

This kid has been in the arena for many years, and he has developed a pair of good eyesight. He can see the restless nature in Lan Cuihua's bones at a glance.

Ever since, they began to approach with excuses.

The dry firewood met the raging fire, and the sky thunder stirred the ground fire, and the result can be imagined.

"My lord, the villain admits to having an affair with Lan Cuihua, but it's just for a moment of pleasure. How could he kill such an irrelevant person as Zhu Dazhuang for no reason?"

The presiding officer smiled coldly, and asked Lan Cuihua again: "Mr. Yang Lan, can you plead guilty?"

"My lord, Minnv is guilty, but Minnv did no harm.

My husband-in-law also said before that he has a physical problem, so people's women and women will be "

"boom!"

The presiding judge slapped the gavel heavily, and said angrily: "Don't be so quibbling, I remind you, just because of your affair with Lou Ashu, I can sentence you to ride a wooden donkey on the street."

As soon as these words came out, Lan Cuihua was frightened and begged for mercy loudly: "My lord, the daughter of the people is guilty, the daughter of the people is guilty, please forgive me!"

Riding a wooden donkey can be regarded as a kind of torture that makes people talk about it, and they have to be stripped and paraded in the street.

After a street tour, even if he survived by chance, he might be ashamed to see others in the future.

"I advise you to be honest!"

"My lord, the girl was really wronged, she really didn't kill someone"

"Okay, it seems that you two dogs and men really don't cry when you see the coffin, come and present evidence."

"Yes!"

Soon, someone presented the evidence.

"My lords, take a look too. This is the dregs of the medicine that Zhu Baishi brewed back then. It was this medicine that killed Zhu Dazhuang."

The presiding judge asked the other two jurors to show the dregs of the medicine.

"Oh? Master Xu, what is the name of this medicinal residue?"

In fact, the three officials who tried the case had already known it well, and now it is nothing more than a formality.

"After investigation, the formula of this medicine is exactly the folk prescription that Yang Zhongshan often takes."

"what?"

Yang Chongshan couldn't help being surprised.

"However, this folk prescription has deliberately increased the dosage, four or five times as much.

In addition, Zhu Dazhuang was sick at the time and his body was weak, so how could he bear such a violent drug effect, so it was out of control. "

"My lord, Minnv Minnv has something to say."

Bai Ling couldn't help opening his lips.

"allow!"

"My lord, the medicine was prepared by Mr. Yang and handed over to the minnv himself. After the minnv took it home, she began to boil it. After it was done, she served it to the husband.

However, Minnv believed that it was impossible for Mr. Yang to deliberately prepare such medicine, and Minnv would change the medicine privately without harming her husband's heart. "

"That's right, you didn't change your medicine, and Yang Zhongshan didn't deliberately prescribe fatal medicine.

So what happened to the dregs?It must be that someone took advantage of your unpreparedness and secretly changed the soup. "

"what?"

Bai Ling froze for a moment, then seemed to remember something

That day she was brewing medicine in the house, when she suddenly heard someone yelling outside, it's fire, it's fire.

She was startled, and hurried out to have a look, only to find that there was indeed smoke outside, and the neighbors also came out to look for the source of the fire.

It turned out that no one knew who lit a pile of grass in the alley. Fortunately, the grass was a bit wet and no fire was ignited. Everyone rushed to put out the fire quickly.

Afterwards, Bai Ling returned home and continued to boil the medicine.

She didn't take this matter to heart at the time, but now that she thinks about it, it's really suspicious. Maybe someone deliberately used it to distract her.

So Bai Ling talked about it.

"Well, that's right. The murderer has been planning this for a long time. He deliberately set a fire while you were decocting the medicine, and then roared outside to lure you out.

As soon as you go out, the murderer takes the opportunity to sneak into the house and change the medicine.

After all, you are a layman in medical skills, even if you change the medicine, you don't know it at all. Therefore, the murderer thinks that he did it without anyone noticing.

It's a pity, after all, the paper still can't cover the fire with witnesses! "

"Yes!"

Soon, a man who looked like a buddy was brought to court.

"The villain, Ah Jin, sees all the adults!"

"Ah Jin, take a look at this courtroom, is there anyone you want to testify against?"

"Yes, my lord!"

A Jin glanced at it, then pointed at Lou Ashu and said, "That's right, it's him! That day, the little man saw this man throw a small pot into the bamboo bushes with his own eyes."

"What day is it?"

"It was the day when Xiaoliu Alley caught fire, because the villain's house was in the alley, so I remember it very clearly.

The inn where the villain works is not far from home. Someone told me that there seemed to be a fire in the alley of my house, so the villain ran back quickly.

As a result, on the way back, I accidentally saw this person throwing a small jar, and I stepped up to look out of curiosity, and found that it was filled with medicinal residues, and it was still steaming."

This matter can be regarded as a coincidence.

Before the chief interrogator and his party left, several subordinates had been secretly dispatched to arrive early, and two of them lived in the inn where A Jin worked.

After Ah Jin returned to the inn, he inadvertently brought up the matter with another buddy.

This is because there is a local custom that if there is a patient who has been ill for a long time at home, the dregs of the medicine left by the patient will be poured on the road for pedestrians to step on. It is said that doing so can make the patient recover quickly.

But when Ah Jin saw that Lou Ashu threw the dregs of the medicine together with the pot, and even threw it into a bamboo bush, it was a bit confusing.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

The two subordinates found Ajin with an excuse, and after some insinuating inquiries, they finally found the medicine jar.

"All right"

After Ah Jin finished explaining the incident, the chief interrogator waved his hand to signal him to back down, and then asked Yang Zhongshan, "Yang Zhongshan, do you still remember the herbal formula you gave to Zhu Baishi at that time?"

"Return to the adults, of course I will remember."

"Very good, then you can write it out now, someone, get a pen and paper!"

When the pen and paper were brought, Yang Zhongshan wrote down the medicine formula that he had given to Bai Ling.

"Okay, everyone, I still have a prescription here, which was analyzed by Dr. Wang who accompanied me this time based on the medicine dregs thrown away by Lou Ashu. Now I will compare the two prescriptions in the hall."

Compare the two prescriptions together

"Huh? The medicinal materials and the ratio are almost the same."

"That's right, there is almost no difference, and Doctor Wang also said that the medicine in this formula is a normal formula, without any toxicity, and it will not be fatal to anyone who drinks it.

Then we can now be sure that the medicine thrown away by Lou Ashu was the one prescribed by Yang Zhongshan.

But what Zhu Dazhuang drank was the deadly poison that was stolen! "

"My lord, I am wronged, I am wronged!"

Lou Ashu never imagined that a well-designed conspiracy would be exposed in this way, but he still insisted on crying out for grievances.

"Snapped!"

The presiding judge slapped the gavel heavily.

"Lou Ashu, it's useless for you to quibble, just based on the current evidence, this judge is enough to convict you of death.

However, there are still some people involved in this case, and the case is not over yet. Bring witnesses! "

Another witness?
