I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

"You're talking nonsense!" Gao Liang didn't expect that Luo Qianhuai would mention this old incident in court, and denied it repeatedly: "The Wenpu case was personally tried by Lord Xu, the Changling Lieutenant, and I only assisted in the verification out of public conscience - you You just say that I am committing perjury, but where do you want to put Mr. Xu?"

Gao Liang spoke sternly, but Luo Qianhuai just smiled calmly and said to Huo Yu: "Sir, Gao Langzhong keeps saying that he is not familiar with my daughter, but he can even name his uncle without thinking."

"This is either a matter of family harmony, or a deep resentment. In short, he lied in court - the accusations this person made against my daughter before are naturally not credible at all."

"You!" Gao Liang was furious, but had nothing to refute. He could only look at Huo Yu and said: "My lord, you must never listen to this thief. I have been practicing medicine in Changling City for many years, and I have always had a good reputation. Changling Wei Lord Xu and Lord Sikobai also have a long-term friendship..."

"That's enough." When Huo Yu heard this, hesitation appeared on his face, and he turned to ask the Marrow Cake King, who had been silent until now:

"Do you recognize this cake?" The officer handed over the dry and hard cake. The King of Marrow Cake took it with trembling hands and squeezed it. Then he brought it to his nose and smelled it. Fang nodded and said, "Sir, it was made by this villain himself." The cake you made is right.”

"Maybe you remember who the buyer is?"

The King of Marrow Cake smiled bitterly: "It's not the villain's excuse. I really can't think of it. The villain's marrow cake is very popular in Changling City. At least five or six hundred pieces are sold every day. How can I remember every purchase?" Home?"

When it comes to what he is good at, he gradually becomes more courageous, and his voice is not as weak as before: "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 one The cake has been stored for between ten days and a month. No matter how good my memory is, I can't help you."

Huo Yu asked people to take him down to the hall. He glanced at Luo Qianhuai inadvertently, and saw her pair of black and white eyes, looking at him intently, full of trust and admiration - even though he knew that she was mostly pretending, he still felt in his heart A bit softer.

"The facts of the case are very clear. Gao Langzhong and Luo Niangzi's relatives have a long-standing grudge, and the testimony is not credible. Since Luo Niangzi has proved her innocence, Gao Langzhong should stand up for falsely accusing her. In view of the fact that she is the victim, I will give him a better look and exempt him from the crime. Jizhang was exiled, and was only sentenced to pay a box of cordyceps to Madam Luo. They agreed to agree in court, and each went home."

"Sir!" Gao Liang couldn't believe the verdict he heard. He had obviously mentioned the names of Xu Kai and Bai Ming. Logically speaking, Mr. Huo would give them some face, but he didn't expect that he didn't care and asked him to give away the box of cordyceps worth the hardware for free.

His heart was bleeding. Just after he called out, Huo Yu's eyes glanced over, as coldly as if he were looking at a dead object.

Gao Liang's head trembled suddenly, and he suddenly remembered the rumors about this gentleman. It was said that he had killed as many as eight hundred bandits in Xinzhou, and he did not take human life seriously at all.

He swallowed back what he was about to say, and what he spat out became another sentence: "The adults have made a clear decision, and the little ones are convinced."

The clerk copied the verdict in duplicate and asked them to sign and seal it respectively. After Luo Qianhuai signed, another officer brought the box of cordyceps that was originally used as evidence and handed it to her.

Gao Liang thought he had lost money to eliminate the disaster. After finishing the painting, he was about to leave, but he was called by Luo Qianhuai.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Gao. Today is a rare good day, and I just want to take this opportunity to ask you to clear up my uncle's unjust case."

Her bright eyes shone on Huo Yu's face. The latter was about to stand up and leave, but was tripped up by this look and sat down again.

"Ms. Luo, how can you turn over a case that has been settled?" Gao Liang frowned patiently and said, "The evidence in your uncle's case is conclusive. I advise you not to waste your efforts. Mr. Huo’s time.”

Luo Qianhuai ignored him and only looked up at Huo Yu, waiting for his instructions.

She did not discuss her move with him in advance today, which somewhat disrupted his plan. If she had followed her past temperament, she would have rolled up her sleeves and left, completely voiding the previous agreement.

But for some reason, Huo Yu was willing to make an exception for her.

"I have not been in office for a long time and I don't know much about the past. I wonder which old case Madam Luo is talking about?"

"Sir." Luo Qianhuai prostrated himself and briefly told the case that Wen Pu was involved in that year. Immediately, a scribe on the side found the case files from that year and presented them to Huo Yu for reading.

He read it carefully, raised his eyes and asked, "With all the witnesses and material evidence in this case, why did Mrs. Luo question the original verdict?"

"Sir, my daughter accidentally learned the day before yesterday that there is something fishy in this case. Zheng Xun, the husband of the deceased Zhou Zheng, was originally the concubine of the Zheng family in Xijing. After their death, all their property was swallowed up by the Zheng family, and their two children were also sold. slave."

Every word she said today had been carefully considered in advance to ensure that the narrative was clear, concise and concise: "Back then, Zhou Zheng died of the aconite poison contained in raw aconite, and Zheng's legitimate daughter tried to use the refined aconite to She poisoned people and wanted to blame other doctors. She later admitted that the method of making aconitum poison was secretly passed down in her family, and she had done similar things before. "

"So my daughter thought that the Zheng family had both murderous motives and actual abilities in this case. On the other hand, my uncle was only eager to save people and accidentally fell into it and became the scapegoat."

"Where is Zheng's daughter now?" Huo Yu asked in coordination with her.

"Outside the Yiting." Luo Qianhuai responded respectfully, and then a servant ran down the hall and brought the person forward in a moment.

Last night, Luo Qianhuai made arrangements overnight and ordered Xingjiu to deliver a letter to Bai Zhenye. Although the other party did not want to make the family scandal public, but in the end, it was not humane, so he asked Bai Ying, the chief steward of the Bai family, to personally escort Zheng.

As for what Luo Qianhuai just said, it was Bai Ying who told her. Bai Zhenye can support such a large foundation of the Bai family, so he is certainly not a soft-hearted person. Even if there is still some feelings of dissatisfaction with Bai Zhentang, there is no need for a poisonous woman like Zheng, so he used some means to make her confess everything she knew.

Ms. Zheng was brought to the hall. Her legs had been broken, and scars could be seen on her hands and face. It's just that the master's family has the right to punish the current concubine trade. Even in the court, no one will stand up for her.

Huo Yu patted the gavel and in a few words, he got the truth out of Zheng's mouth. What he told Luo Qianhuai was the same, and he specifically mentioned the second uncle of the Zheng family, saying that he got the bottle of aconite poison from him.

"It's a coincidence that Zhou Zheng's pair of children were bought by my daughter when they were sold a few days ago. They are also in the hall at the moment. Your Excellency can also summon them for questioning."

Huo Yu nodded and called Yan Shu and Yan Ning to the hall. Yan Ning was still young, so Yan Shu explained what happened that year.

"There is indeed something suspicious about this case, and I agree to reschedule the trial." After hearing this, Huo Yu made the final decision and ordered Luo Qianhuai, Gao Liang and others to leave first, waiting for the official investigation to be completed, and gathering relevant people for the trial. .
