Chapter 314

Seeing Master Hong, Zhengqing of Dali Temple cast his gaze in his direction, Xiao Yanzhi didn't explain too much.

He only turned his head to look at the flower matchmaker for a while, and then asked slowly:

"If my lord remembers correctly, the mother-in-law who witnessed the hairpin flower just said that you told her that the deceased's incense making technique was so exquisite that even the ladies in the palace asked others to buy it. If she didn't even understand medicine, the concocted incense How dare the family members of the ladies buy and send spices to the palace? It can be seen that the deceased’s argument that he doesn’t understand medicine is untenable.”

Hearing King Yan's questioning, several presiding officials were confused again.

The things that Granny Hairpin said were just nonsense, not conclusive evidence, right?
Master Hong was about to refute.

But on the other side, Yu Wang Xiao Yi coldly snorted:
"Sixth brother! Brother Huang asked you to supervise the trial today, but he wanted you to practice more. The official media's words are obviously exaggerated. Since you don't know how to judge cases, you should not intervene."

Having said that, as if he heard some big joke, he smiled and looked at the three presiding officers:

"Furthermore, are there any good things in the palace? Do you still need the ladies to go outside the palace to buy incense? If this matter gets out, won't the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is in charge of food and clothing, be laughed at?"

"Hahaha, what His Royal Highness Prince Yu said is reasonable." Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate echoed.

Seeing that King Yu supported her, the flower matchmaker also gained confidence.

His eyes narrowed into slits with a smile, and he looked at Xiao Yanzhi:

"Oh! ~His Royal Highness, please take care~ The woman met the deceased once. Seeing that she is lonely and struggling to make a living, she wants to help her solicit business. Anyway, no one can go to the Empress Palace to ask if it is right? Haha"

But Xiao Yanzhi just clung to this piece and didn't let go.

Leaving aside the words "empty talk without proof", he took a teacup and drank tea by himself.

And Lu Yunli, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, was really obedient and obedient, and even served tea to stay out of the matter.

"This"

Master Hong, Zhengqing of Dali Temple, has always known the virtue of Yan Wang, but he never imagined that this person is still stubborn.

Looking at this posture, it is clear that he wants to fight Yu Wang to the end regardless of the occasion!
no way.

Who made him both a prince and a supervisor?
If the supervisor raises an objection, it must be thoroughly investigated.

"Flower matchmaker, can you provide evidence?"

Mr. Hong is helpless, he is afraid that he will waste his energy on this irrelevant place again.

Seeing that the flower matchmaker was dumb, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment kindly guided:

"If you can't produce evidence to prove that the deceased did not understand the principles of medicine, you can also find evidence to prove that she took the medicine on her own initiative. Then she knew it was poison and took it. If she died, it was her own fault. Naturally, you will not be punished. .I'm afraid."

The flower matchmaker looked confused: "What are you afraid of?"

The left servant of the Ministry of Punishment had a smile on his lips, and raised his hand to signal her not to panic.

In a blink of an eye, his eyes widened again, and he shouted:

"I'm afraid you won't be able to produce any evidence! And she didn't take the medicine on her own initiative, but you forcibly took it to make money and kill her first, and then the yamen thieves shouted to catch the thieves and falsely accused the court of ordering the officials later!"

"what?!"

The flower matchmaker didn't expect that the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment, who had a friendly face just now, suddenly turned dark, and was so frightened that he repeatedly kowtowed and shouted for grievances:

"My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life! She really wanted to drink the medicine herself, and the woman told her to find a doctor, but she said no, the woman was really wronged, my lord!"

The left servant of the Ministry of Punishment raised his eyebrows sharply, wanting to strike while the iron is hot and asked her if there was someone behind her:

"Tell me! Where did you get the money to buy the medicine, and who asked you to?"

But suddenly, I saw Kuo Shi, the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate wave his sleeves: "Come on, drag this poisonous woman down to me, and punish her with a cane for forty! Let's see if she pleads guilty!"

"Yes--"

All this happened so suddenly, Lu Wanlan, who had been waiting for the interrogation, hadn't recovered before she saw a few familiar yamen servants walking into the lobby, dragging the flower matchmaker to go out for execution.

Rod duty forty?

Where is this trying to beat him into a trick?
It's clearly murder!

Lu Wanlan could think of such an obvious intention, but how could Master Hong, Zhengqing of Dali Temple, not think of it?

But at this stage of the trial of the case, he has somewhat seen the truth.The meaning of Zuodu Yushi may be the meaning of the person behind him.

It is better to kill a matchmaker who falsely accuses the imperial doctor than to involve a big person who cannot afford to offend.

The two supervisors on the left and right had nothing to say, and he didn't bother to pay attention.

The flower matchmaker knew she was about to die, so she could only cry and howl.Passing by Granny Hairpin's side, he tightly grasped her skirt:
"Zanhua, sister Zanhua! You were there that day, and you still said, that the fragrance of clothes she made was not authentic! The taste is wrong! You want her to refund the money!"

"What are you still doing in a daze! Procrastinate!" Zuo Du Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate interrupted loudly.

Immediately afterwards, several yamen servants came in, tied up the flower matchmaker hand and foot, and stuffed her mouth with a torn rag.

"You can't do nothing! You can prove your sister, woo woo woo—"

The hoarse howling stopped immediately.

Seeing that there was no escape this time, the flower matchmaker burst into tears.

But just when she was desperate, she heard that cold voice just now sounded again:

"When did Mr. Gao learn how to beat him up? He doesn't listen to anyone's arguments."

"Oh." Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate raised his eyebrows, and looked at Xiao Yanzhi with a smirk, "His Royal Highness Yan Wang misunderstood~ Lord Hong and Lord Zhai have given her a chance, but she doesn't cherish it." , I just follow the rules~”

"It's good to follow the rules." Xiao Yanzhi raised his hand, put down the teacup with a "dang", there was no warmth in his eyes, "But since she said that the hairpin mother-in-law can testify, why don't you make a decision after listening to the confession?"

"Yes, Mr. Gao!" The left servant of the Criminal Department finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Mr. Shi Gao, Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate hesitated for a moment, then glanced in Xiao Yihan's direction, and saw that he was blowing a cup of tea with his mouth curled, as if he didn't care about it.

Then he cleared his throat and said to the yamen servant, "Put her down first."

Then he looked at Granny Hairpin: "The matchmaker said you can testify, but is it true?"

The woman straightened her clothes and bowed deeply, saying: "Go back to your lord, the old woman can testify."

"Then hurry up!"

"The old woman did meet the deceased Mrs. Fang today, and bought a few incense pills from her for a few taels of silver, but when she got home and used them, she found that the smell of the incense pills was not right, so she wanted to argue with her." .”

The hairpin flower mother-in-law said, and then looked at the tearful flower matchmaker:

"It's just a coincidence that Fang's old lady went to the Marriage Pavilion. After the old lady went with her, she said a few words to her. She said that she had a headache, fever, and weakness. She was afraid that she had a big head plague. So she took the money and asked the flower matchmaker to go to the street. Grab the medicine and boil it, then take it by yourself."

When the flower matchmaker heard this, she broke down in tears:
"Yes, yes, that's it!"

"It's just that for some reason, after taking the medicine for half an hour, she foamed at the mouth and lost her breath." After the Granny Hairpin finished speaking, her eyes were full of sadness, "The old woman thought, maybe she really doesn't understand medicine, otherwise How can you make a mistake even with the simple Shenglan Yixiangwan?"

Shenglan Yixiang Wan?
The five fluttering words she spit out from her mouth actually made everyone's hearts tremble!
Didn't Imperial Physician Lu eat this food for the crown prince's biological mother Fu Guiren?
The three presiding officers looked at each other, and finally Master Hong said, "Is that thing on you?"

"exist."

After the hairpin lady finished speaking, she took out a Kesi sachet from her sleeve and handed it to the yamen servant.

Although the things in the sachet, people don't know how to distinguish.

But the patterns embroidered with bird gold method still linger in Lu Wanlan's eyes.

The sachet was exactly the same as the fifth brother brought out from the palace.

Master Hong, Zhengqing of Dali Temple looked around, but he didn't see any tricks:
"What's wrong with this fragrant pill?"
