He doesn't want to be a supporting role [Quick time travel]

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Zhao who was sitting in the hall was startled, he hurriedly said: "What is your crime, please tell me in detail!"

The woman wiped the tears from her face with her cuff, and said a little bit: "My official was working in his cousin's daughter's house. A few days ago, he had an upset stomach. Later, his cousin who was a royal concubine said She had a way, and gave my family official a set of medicine the next day and said that it would be fine after taking it. It’s just that the day before she gave the medicine, he and I went to Boss Ji’s house to ask for medicine, and then his cousin gave another medicine. Vice, he planned to take his cousin's first, and if it was useless, he would take the medicine given by Ji's brother. Who would have thought that he would die the same night after taking the medicine given by the cousin. I went to her to reason, but she was afraid of getting burned. , gave me a sum of money, and let me put everything on Brother Ji's family."

After saying this, Ji Jin who was standing at the gate of the yamen couldn't help cursing a few words, Ji Xiaoyan followed the sound and turned around and smiled at him.

Zhou Zhao didn't expect that he overturned the previous testimony before the other party was interrogated. He collected himself and said to the Yacha: "Bring the concubine of the king to court!"

Yu Shi, Wang Yuanwai's concubine, came over in half an hour, and Wang Yuanwai and others came with her.

Zhou Zhao just wanted to ask a question, but the king said: "Master Zhou, my concubine has never experienced such a thing, I am afraid that she will annoy you by saying something wrong, so I invited a litigator to go to court."

As soon as he finished speaking, the litigator Cheng Jingru who was following him immediately stepped forward and bent down. Zhou Zhao saw that it was this person, and his expression instantly became ugly.

At that time, because lawyers basically only served the rich, ordinary people generally could not afford to hire them, so they were not welcomed by many people.And the price for inviting Cheng Jingru to the court is even more outrageous. The reason is that his reaction speed is extremely fast, black can be said to be white, and white can be said to be black, and the cases he has seldom failed.

After Ji Jin learned that Ji Xiaoyan was arrested, he also thought of inviting him, but felt that this person's methods were really disgusting, so he gave up.

Zhou Zhao and Cheng Jingru also have some friendship. When they took over here in the early years, they met him a few times and admired each other's talent. Later, after Cheng Jingru became a lawyer, he seldom interacted with each other to avoid suspicion. In the end, his estrangement made Cheng Jingru hate him, and everyone said he was an immoral person.

Ji Xiaoyan didn't miss the expressions of the people in the hall. He glanced at the person named Cheng Jingru beside him. Seeing this man's sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks and villainous appearance, he guessed that he was not a good guy.

Just as he expected, Cheng Jingru pointed the finger at the woman kneeling on the ground after bowing to Zhou Zhao.

Unprepared, the woman was left speechless by Cheng Jingru's question. She wanted to argue a few words, but found that she had made many mistakes. In the end, she had to shut up and dare not speak again.

"My lord, this woman's testimony is inconsistent. Since she said that she wronged Ji's brother, wouldn't she also wrong Yu? The villain suspects that she was bought!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Ji Xiaoyan.

Sensing his gaze, Ji Xiaoyan turned his head and looked at him, seeing a trace of astonishment flashing across this person's face, he tilted his head in puzzlement, wondering why this person looked at him with such eyes.

Cheng Jingru looked at Ji Xiaoyan's face in a daze, and it took him a lot of effort to stabilize his mind, and turned to look at Zhou Zhao.

Seeing his expression, Zhou Zhao almost rolled his eyes. He hurriedly lowered his head to look at the autopsy records Wu Zuo sent last night, and suddenly found himself in trouble.

Although the records can prove that the man died of poison, but the body has been left for too long, the weather is hot, and according to the woman, the difference between the medicines given by Ji Xiaoyan and Yu's is only one day, so it is really hard to distinguish the death of the body The time and the day the deceased took the medicine.

Now that Cheng Jingru was pressing him to give an explanation, he suddenly didn't know whether he should take out the autopsy record.

"I would like to ask this litigator," Ji Xiaoyan looked at the person beside him, "How can you conclude that the suffering master's words are false? And how can you conclude that she was bribed? I will buy your family's life with money, are you willing? "

Cheng Jingru saw that Ji Xiaoyan took the initiative to talk to himself, and his face showed a touch of joy: "My little brother thinks that my empty words are insulting people's innocence, so I can ask adults to show me the records I made to prove it."

Cheng Jingru defended dozens of cases every year. Earlier, after hearing the words of the concubine of the king, he knew how to fight the lawsuit. Now that he can say this, he is not afraid of Zhou Zhao's tricks.

Seeing his smug face, Ji Xiaoyan knew there was a deceit in it. He squinted at Cheng Jingru and said to Zhou Zhao: "Did you check the medicine residue? The prescription I prescribed was taught by the imperial physician. It must have something to do with that concubine's room." different."

Zhou Zhao shook his head slightly: "Both medicines have been boiled, and the dregs of the medicines have been mixed together again, so they are of no value."

Zhou Zhao felt a little regretful when he said this, but Ji Xiaoyan laughed suddenly after hearing this.

"It's still valuable," Ji Xiaoyan said, "Since it's the imperial physician's prescription, it must be different from other people's medicines. If you can bring the dregs of the medicine, I have a way to distinguish it for you."

As soon as Zhou Zhao heard that he had a way, he immediately asked someone to bring the medicine to the hall. When the medicine was brought, the expressions of Wang Yuanwai's family changed, but Cheng Jingru stared at Ji Xiaoyan with interest.

Ji Xiaoyan held the jar of medicine dregs and smelled it, and then said to Yu Shi who was hiding behind Wang Yuanwai: "Do you still remember the medicine you prescribed?"

Yu Shi carefully glanced at Wang Yuanwai, Wang Yuanwai noticed that she was about to reprimand Ji Xiaoyan when she heard a gavel sound: "Hurry up and write down the formula!"

When Zhou Zhao gave an order, the master book immediately took out a pen and paper and asked the parties concerned to write out the prescription. Ji Xiaoyan wrote it in less than half a cup of tea, but the Yu family was still sluggish, not knowing what they were dawdling about.

"How long do you need?" Zhou Zhao asked.

After hearing this, Yu's hands trembled and dripped ink onto the paper. She handed the written prescription to the master book, and then hid behind Wang Yuanwai.

The prescriptions of the two were written out. For the sake of fairness, Zhou Zhao invited a prestigious old doctor in the local area. He asked the old man to use the prescription to separate the medicine from the medicine residue. The doctor poured out the medicine residue according to his words. In the end, there were two unclaimed medicines, one was Shengcaowu, and the other was Gobi, also known as Broken Heart Grass.

Both of these are highly poisonous, and if they are not used by people who know their toxicity, there will be serious troubles.

The old man was very surprised when he saw these two medicines. He asked the woman in which medicine bag she saw the medicine, but the woman couldn't understand the medicine, so she couldn't tell for a long time.

"Actually, it's easy to know who put those two poisons in," Ji Xiaoyan said. "I put something in my prescription that people would never put in. This thing will make the medicine taste bad."

Cheng Jingru was curious: "What's the smell?"

"Bitter," Ji Xiaoyan said, "It's extremely bitter. If you don't believe it, you can boil the dregs of medicine and taste it. If it's absolutely bitter, you can call it Daddy."

After Ji Xiaoyan said this, no one dared to respond. After all, this medicinal residue was put together with the poisonous heartbroken grass, who knows if something will happen.

But after a while of silence, the deceased's daughter-in-law spoke up.

"I'll drink it!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and Ji Xiaoyan also looked at the woman in surprise: "You drink?"

The woman nodded: "Brother Ji, I was the one who was sorry for you earlier, and I didn't know what would happen after you were imprisoned..."

Before she finished speaking, she rushed to the side of the pile of medicine dregs, grabbed a handful and was about to stuff it into her mouth, but was kicked away by Ji Xiaoyan with quick eyes and hands.

The woman who was kicked aside began to cry again, Ji Xiaoyan frowned, and said to Zhou Zhao: "Normal people don't keep hook kisses and Shengcaowu, sir, you can send someone to the pharmacy to check, or you can send someone to my house to have a look. "

Ji Xiaoyan had a very good attitude when he said this, and those who came to hear the trial couldn't help standing beside him. Cheng Jingru saw that he was so open-minded, and echoed: "For the sake of fairness, my lord should also go to Wang Yuanwai's house to check."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and smiled at Ji Xiaoyan, which made Ji Xiaoyan's fist hard from laughing.

As Ji Xiaoyan said, Zhou Zhao sent someone to do it yesterday, but there are many large and small pharmacies in the county, and the year of the two medicines cannot be determined, so it takes a little more time to do it.

The case was at a bottleneck, Ji Xiaoyan simply sat on the ground and waited for the news, Cheng Jingru also sat beside him when he saw him like this, but Ji Jin squeezed him away just as he was about to speak.

Ji Jin was booing and inquiring about his son, while glaring at the county magistrate Mr. Zhou sitting in the hall. Zhou Zhao felt uncomfortable at the sight of him, so he found an excuse to go to the back hall to find his good brother.

Ji Xiaoyan comforted his father not to be too nervous, and then looked around. Ji Jin noticed his expression and asked him, "Where are you looking for Li Wang?"

"Well, why didn't I see him, where did he go?"

"Taking advantage of the many people talking at the moment, he went to Wang Yuanwai's house to ask about things," Ji Jin said, "At first he said I would go, but he said that I was too slow and went first."

After that, he looked at his son's face and said, "Do you know about that little brother?"

Ji Xiaoyan nodded: "I know."

Ji Jin's expression changed when he heard this, and then he pinched Ji Xiaoyan's ears before he ran away: "I just said why he didn't come back yesterday, so he went to find you!"

Ji Xiaoyan knew he was in the wrong, so he hurriedly begged for mercy, but he was still beaten severely by Ji Jin. After the beating, he heard Ji Xiaoyan screaming in pain and hurriedly rubbed it for him, lamenting that he would never let Ji Xiaoyan meet someone like Wang Yuanwai.

"You think too much," Ji Xiaoyan said, "Li Wang wouldn't treat me like that."

Seeing that he was so sure, Ji Jin became even more worried: "You have already identified Li Wang? Don't you plan to look at others?"

Ji Xiaoyan shook his head: "It's him, I only want him in my life."

Ji Jin looked at his small appearance, and said angrily and funnyly: "Since he is so nice, how about I let you get married after this matter is over?"

Hearing this, Ji Xiaoyan shook his head like a drum, Ji Jin wondered: "It's you who wants him to be married, and you are the one who doesn't get married. Why don't you want to?"

Ji Xiaoyan rested her head on Ji Jin's shoulder: "I want to wait until Dad gets married."

"Me?" Ji Jin laughed, "If you wait for me, I'm afraid you will have to treat you like a little brother."

"I can't control that much," Ji Xiaoyan said coquettishly at him, "If you don't get married, then I won't get married for the rest of my life either."
