Since I met you, people are dying every day

"The student is not guilty." Li Qinghe replied solemnly.

"The night clothes and incense powder hidden in your home have been found, what else do you have to say?" Ye Sirui sneered, "Assassinating this official is an even worse crime!"

"The students don't know what the adults are saying." Li Qinghe said in a low voice with a firm tone.

"I don't know what you mean? I forgot to ask you, Jinrongtang's jasmine powder, a box of one tael of silver, you are a poor scholar, where did you get the money? Did you get it from theft?" Ye Sirui stared at him intently. .

Li Qinghe blushed, "Don't deceive others too much!"

"I am deceiving people too much? You are a scholar with light skills, and all the officials I sent to arrest you can testify. They are very powerful." Ye Sirui asked aggressively, "Come here, bring the servant girl Zhu'er to court!"

"My lord, my lord is wronged!" A sharp mournful cry came, and the woman rushed to the front of the hall and knelt down.Turning to look at Li Qinghe. "My lord, my lord, I don't know what I have committed, my lord!"

Li Qinghe's face suddenly changed.

Zhu'er glanced at him, then looked away, and kowtowed while crying, "Your servant is wronged, I don't know why your lord has brought you here?"

"Why?" Ye Sirui chuckled, gathered his sleeve with one hand, pulled out a stick and threw it on the ground. "What are you still doing in a daze, Li Qinghe murdered and stole, and even wanted to assassinate this official, the evidence is convincing, tie him up, gag him, and beat him!"

The petty officials immediately gagged Li Qinghe's mouth, tied him to the execution bench, and raised the board.Pearl's cries were even louder. "My lord, Li Lang has been wronged!"

"He killed your young master, and you are complaining for him?" Ye Sirui looked at Zhu'er, who was messed up in the hall, with a half-smile.

Zhu'er shouted recklessly: "Master Shen was not killed by Li Lang!"

"Oh?" Ye Sirui yelled at the executioner and lowered his head to ask her, "Who killed that?"

"Slave! It was the slave!" Zhu'er gritted her teeth and shouted without hesitation.Li Qinghe was dripping with cold sweat. He looked at her in surprise and anger, his veins bulged, and he wanted to say something.But his mouth was gagged and he couldn't make a sound.

"You are a weak woman, how did you kill her?"

"The young master's ginseng soup has medicine in it, it's medicine for calming the nerves, and the silver needle can't tell. The servant inserted a needle in his acupuncture point while he was drowsy." Zhu'er responded with sobs.

Ye Sirui asked persuasively, "Did you prescribe the medicine?"

"No... yes! It's a servant!"

"So you got the needle?"

"Yes. Acupuncture at that acupuncture point can cause loss of voice." Zhu'er said.

"Then do you know what that acupoint is called? How do you, a maid, know that needling that acupoint can cause loss of voice?" Ye Sirui said coldly, his phoenix eyes showing majesty. "Shen Zhaoxin has other injuries on his body, where is the upper injury you mentioned?"

Pearl only whimpered, but made no answer.

"I have already asked the maids in Shen Zhaoxin's house in private, and they all know that you have a lover. Looking at it now, it really is a deep love between husband and wife." Ye Sirui drew his tone, and then smiled softly.

Pearl's expression was even more frightened.

"If you don't tell me, I will have to continue to torture your lover." Ye Sirui gestured to the officials who detained Li Qinghe.

Zhu'er wiped away her tears, straightened her clothes, Nuo went to the position facing Ye Sirui, and kowtowed straightly. "Your Excellency is very aware of the details. People were killed by servants. Slaves plead guilty. Please don't implicate innocent people."

Li Qinghe had given up struggling.

"Take her into custody." Ye Sirui's expression became more relaxed, his brows and eyes softened a little, "and then get rid of this gag."

Li Qinghe was loosened and stared at Ye Sirui bitterly, with veins popping up on his neck and temples, without saying a word.

"You also want to say that she killed the man?" Ye Sirui pointed to Zhu'er who was kneeling beside him, and asked him.

"I don't know who killed him, but I'm innocent." Li Qinghe said hoarsely.

Ye Sirui immediately sneered at Zhu'er, "It seems that your lover is nothing more than that." Zhu'er's body was weak and trembling, tears fell down on the ground in front of her.He turned to Li Qinghe again. "Then how do you explain the night clothes and incense powder in your house?"

"That's...someone framed it." Li Qinghe gritted his teeth and said word by word.

"What a false accusation!" Ye Sirui stood up abruptly, and shouted loudly: "You think no one pays attention to you when you ask about the acupoints? Do you think that the apprentices you go to the medicine dispensing hall can't remember you? Come! Bring witnesses to the court! "

The old gentleman with white hair and long beard in the medical hall responded. "Caomin has met the county magistrate."

"Sir, do you recognize this person?"

"This person's name is Li Qinghe. His father has a deep friendship with the old man. His family is poor, so he used to be an apprentice in the old man's clinic to help him. The old man also taught him to identify medicinal materials and formulate them."

"Then have you taught him the Yamen acupoint?"

"The acupoints of the human body are often mentioned." He said unhurriedly, "A few days ago, the herbal medicines in the medical center were stolen, and the patients were penniless and desperate to steal the herbal medicines. Did not report to the official. It’s just that not long ago, he stopped helping in the hospital.”

"Li Qinghe, are you convicted?" Ye Sirui sat upright.

Li Qinghe slowly knelt down on the ground.

"Take it to Shen's residence!" Ye Sirui ordered.

The Shen residence was in chaos.

The county magistrate escorted the murderer who killed the young master to the mansion to plead guilty. One was a maid in the young master's room, and the other was a close friend of the third young master. , Please name the people in Shen's residence who are related to the case, vacate the main room, and sit down in order of seniority and junior.

Ye Sirui sat on the main seat with a relaxed expression, and ordered the yamen servant to bring Zhu'er, and knelt down to confess.

Li Qinghe and Shen Zhaoyu had a very good personal relationship, and after visiting the Shen residence many times, they got to know Shen Zhaoxin.Shen Zhaoxin changed his usual disdain for scholars to Li Qinghe, and was very friendly.Zhu Er accidentally met Li Qinghe who came to visit.He also often went in and out of Shen Zhaoxin's house, and he was gentle and polite, completely opposite to the young master Shen Zhaoxin she disliked, so he quickly captured her heart.Li Qinghe also developed a good impression of Zhu'er through contact again and again.Zhu'er hates Shen Zhaoxin's repeated attempts to commit crimes, and wants to be with Li Qinghe in an open and aboveboard manner, but her brother and sister-in-law are greedy for wealth and are unwilling to redeem her.And Li Qinghe was also dissatisfied with the eldest and young master who looked at no one else and insulted his younger brother, and when the two of them got together, they became murderous.

"That day...that day I poured Mongolian sweat medicine into the young master's ginseng soup. The sisters were all in the yard, playing around, or helping other houses. I was the only one in the house. Li Lang made an appointment Come to visit the third young master, I... then I lured Li Lang into the house..." Zhu'er spoke intermittently.

Because of Shen Zhaoxin's favor, Zhu'er has a high status in the house, so it is not difficult to deliberately avoid people and bring Li Qinghe into the house.Besides, Li Qinghe often visits.But the maids didn't know that she had a lover, let alone Li Qinghe, this episode was Ye Sirui's fraudulent confession.

"I was watching from outside the room, and he was inside... He said that using silver needles to prick the acupoints can... make people unable to scream... it won't disturb others..." Shen Fushang could no longer listen, his face was flushed red with anger, Standing up from the chair, he kicked at Zhu'er.It was too late to say it, but a figure flashed by quickly, and Fushang Shen kicked the air.It turned out that Xia Shu quickly stepped forward and pulled Zhu'er to the side to get out of the way.Unwilling to be reconciled to kicking the air, he glared at him angrily, and cursed, "Bitch!"

"You maid who speaks nonsense, Qinghe is not such a person!" Someone argued loudly, Shen Zhaoyu was standing in the hall, but at this moment rushed over, unarmed, the young man's face was full of childish anger.

Li Qinghe bowed his head and remained silent.Ye Sirui looked at Shen Zhaoyu thoughtfully, "You trust him so much, do you know how your elder brother died?"

"I don't know." Shen Zhaoyu boldly raised his head and looked at him, "But I know Qinghe will never kill him!"

"An iron rod was inserted into the dung door, and the two ends of the iron rod were sharp, hurting the inside, and the bleeding continued." Ye Sirui's eyes slowly moved to Li Qinghe, "I'm afraid even Zhu'er doesn't know how Shen Zhaoxin died. I'm curious as to why you would do this."

The hatred flashed across Li Qinghe's eyes, but he still didn't speak.

"This section is just a guess, but everyone says that you have a deep friendship with Shen Zhaoxin. If you really have a deep friendship, he may not refuse to ask him for a maid. There is no reason to kill him just because you love Zhu'er. In addition to your friendship It's strange to be profound. How can someone as noble as you like Shen Zhaoxin? I had a guess, so I asked the old bustard in Zuixiang Pavilion, but I learned, "Ye Sirui paused, Looking at the expressions of the people around, "Shen Zhaoxin is not only good at women, but also good at men."

A stone stirs up a thousand waves.Shen Fushang was the first to speak out: "Your Excellency, be discerning! My son is definitely not such a person!" The maids made a fuss, and Zhu'er moved on her knees, pounced on Li Qinghe step by step, and asked him over and over again: "Li Lang? Li Lang ? Isn’t it like this, tell me!”

Li Qinghe raised his head slowly, with a ferocious smile on his handsome face, "I not only want him to die, but also want him to die miserably, there is unspeakable suffering."

"Qinghe, you—!" Shen Zhaoyu's face was pale, and he wanted to move forward, but Xia Shu grabbed him.

"I want him to taste what it's like to be victimized by him." Li Qinghe continued to sneer.

Pearl knelt on the ground, tears streaming down one after another, but her sobbing was suppressed in her throat, and she couldn't make a sound.

Ye Sirui looked at Xia Shu, who was pulling Shen Zhaoyu back to the hall.He cleared his throat and looked at Li Qinghe and Zhu'er. "The medicine in the ginseng soup, are you really the ones who took it? Shen Zhaoxin has been in a coma for half a month, you just kill him, why did you take the medicine for so long?"

Zhu'er wept silently, Li Qinghe laughed loudly, "Everyone can be punished for that bastard! Isn't the medicine given to everyone the same! Didn't his mother want to kill him too?"
