Bianjing little doctor

Chapter 8 Harmed by her?
The courtyard was crowded with neighbors and relatives who came to express their condolences, watching her and pointing.

Erlang's daughter-in-law, Xiao Xie, was holding the pot of medicine that Xin Yi made for San Nian last night in her hand, and rubbed a few soot on her face, making her look even more vicious.

"Mother, what are you talking about with her? Hurry up and take this bitch to the court."

Xin Yi smiled brightly, propped up a bony body, tied the donkey to a tree in the yard, walked slowly, crossed arms, and looked at Liu Shi indifferently.

"You don't have to go around the bush. Just tell me, what tricks do you want?"

For the first time, Mrs. Liu didn't open her mouth to swear, but tilted her mouth to ask Mrs. Xie.

"Daughter-in-law Erlang, come and tell the elders of the clan what evil deeds this lowly woman has done."

Xiao Xie's status in the Zhang family is all due to flattering Liu's.She has always been extremely flattering to Mrs. Liu, and has often done things like bullying her sister-in-law and sister-in-law.

Hearing this, she held up the medicine jar and said loudly:

"Clan elders, take a look at what's in the medicine jar?"

"Oh, that's a pig's ear."

"Pig sow's ear? Very poisonous."

Everyone in the village knew that pig mother's ear was highly poisonous, and they would never swallow it easily. Xin Yi boiled it in Sannian's medicine pot, how could he be so kind?
"What a vicious stepmother!"

"God, this is poisoning and killing—"

When she first heard "pig mother's ears", Xin Yi didn't know what it was. She didn't understand what was going on until Xiao Xie took out a bunch of pokeweed from the medicine jar.

San Nian's medicine last night was boiled by Xin Yi herself, of course she knew there was no Phytophthora in it.However, Phytolacca has been boiled and mixed with the dregs of the medicine. She now argues that she did not put it in, who would believe it?

"You poisonous woman, Saburo is gone. If you want to remarry, my family will follow you, but you won't even let his children go... Poor my Sanbao is still so young, and she will be killed by your cruel stepmother." It's..."

Liu's acting skills are so superb that he opened the door and lay down in front of Sannian's bed, sobbing and crying.

"Three treasures, my grandson... why are you so miserable?"

Little San Nian on the bed was quiet, without any sound.

Seeing this situation, the elders of the clan were furious.

"It's strange that this man who kills thousands of knives will cook medicine with good intentions, and he will wait by the bed all night. It turns out that he is uneasy and kind."

"The thief woman is hateful, just burn her to death."

"Take her to the court! Punish her, cut off her head..."

There were roaring noises one after another.

Zhang Zhengxiang came in from the outer courtyard, before anyone arrived, the roar came first, "What's the trouble? It's embarrassing, don't you know Master Zeng came to offer incense to Sanlang?"

The crowd suddenly fell silent and split to two sides.

Zhang Zhengxiang walked through with a middle-aged man with a big belly.

"This is Lord Zeng of Kaifeng Mansion. Why do you want to report to the officials?"

Liu's Sapo cried, "My lord, come and see, my vicious third daughter-in-law is going to poison my little granddaughter to death..."

Crying, shouting, roaring, Xin Yi had fun watching it.

Although Zhang Xun came from a humble background, he was very popular in Beijing.Especially after Fu Jiuqu's visit last night, at daybreak today, horses and chariots came one after another in front of Zhang's house, all of them were officials and gentry who came to burn incense and pay homage to Zhang Xun...

Therefore, even if the person who came in was not Master Zeng from the Kaifeng Mansion, it would be some other official.

Xin Yi understood that this was a game.

The Zhang family "threw" their three children to live in the back room early on.Then, during Zhang Xun's funeral, everyone will see what a vicious stepmother she is.

In this way, when the pigweed appeared, she couldn't argue with it.

Don't dare to offend Fu Jiuqu, so use this method to punish her?
The Yamen has come to the house, which is a good way.

Zeng Qinda didn't come to Zhang's house today to work on a case, but he couldn't ignore the matter when it came to him, so he put his hands back, cleared his throat, and shouted in a deep voice.

"What a vicious woman! Do you really think that the laws of the Song Dynasty are just a display?"

Xin Yi smiled casually, "My lord, if you want to set up a court in the Zhang family, I beg you to declare your family name first."

Zeng Qinda was taken aback for a moment.

Whenever the grassroots see an official, they are all nervous and afraid, but this little lady is bold?But she was right, and it seemed right.

Zeng Qinda snorted, "This official is in charge of all cases and official affairs of the Goushi Yuan."

In the Song Dynasty, officials and positions were separated, called "ji" and "chai".Simply put, the title and the job may not be the same.

Zeng Qinda's position is equivalent to the magistrate of Kaifeng Mansion, and he is the person who assists the governor and the general judge.To be more straightforward, similar to Gongsun Ce in Bao Qingtian, he is also a criminal officer.It's a pity that he is not Gongsun Ce, and Xin Yi doesn't like this posturing guy at all.

"I don't know Master Zeng, how do you plan to deal with me?"

The door of the back room was opened by Mrs. Liu, and the little girl huddled under the quilt had a face not big enough to slap her hand, and she looked sickly. It looked pitiful, obviously she had been abused by her stepmother.

"Presumptuous! I didn't ask you, but you questioned me?"

Zeng Qinda shook his sleeves and let out a deep drink with his hands clasped behind his back.

"Come here! Take Miss Zhang and escort her to Kaifeng Mansion for questioning."

The two yamen servants who came with them responded and stepped forward with their knives.

"Wait--" Xin Yi did not retreat but advanced, looking at Zeng Qinda with a half-smile, who was thin but full of momentum, "It turns out that Master Zeng only listens to the family's words when handling cases, and doesn't listen to the complaints of the sufferer?"

She claimed to be the sufferer, and the crowd immediately exploded, calling her shameless.

Zeng Qinda hesitated for a moment, "There are all witnesses and evidence, what else can you say?"

Xin Yi lightly raised his eyes, his eyes were watery, and he was still smiling, "So this is called witness evidence? If the masters in the yamen decide cases like this, grass will grow in the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion, right?"

The obvious sarcasm in her words made Zeng Qinda a little bit embarrassed to get off the stage, and without saying a word, he directly signaled the Yamen to get someone.

Unexpectedly, looking at the little lady who had no strength to restrain the chicken, she pushed away the servant and walked straight towards Xiao Xie without retreating or avoiding.

The two tall and strong yachas were stunned on the spot, looking at each other innocently, wondering how could they be easily pushed away by a little lady?
"Bring it!" Xin Yi reached out to snatch the medicine jar from Xiao Xie's hand.

Of course Xiao Xie refused to give it, and held the medicine jar tightly, but was pushed far away by Xin Yi with a little force, and screamed immediately.

"Master Zeng, this bitch wants to destroy the evidence..."

Xin Yi held up the medicine jar and smiled lazily.

Strong Woman... This setting works well.she likes.

"Master Zeng, look carefully." Xin Yi's tone was soft, as if he couldn't see the angry crowd, a small thin hand reached into the medicine jar, twisted out two "hogworts" in public, and chewed them in his mouth Chew and swallow.

"Is it poisonous? No?"

Xin Yi looked around at the crowd.

"Do you want to try it? It's poisoned to death, and I'll pay for it."

Everyone was taken aback, and she forced them to retreat step by step.

Pokeweed is a plant with purple-black berries. The red root is indeed highly poisonous and can be used as a pesticide.However, people at the time did not know that the tender stems and leaves of pokeweed were actually edible and non-toxic at all.

"What are you doing……"

A crisp child's voice broke the stalemate.

Xiao Sannian on the couch suddenly sat up, rubbed her eyes, her little face was flushed, because she didn't know what happened, her expression was confused and cute...

Xin Yi walked in and touched her forehead.

"How do you feel? Are you feeling better?"

San Nian looked at Xin Yi's concerned eyes, feeling a little embarrassed.Even if the bad woman takes care of her in undressed clothes and feeds her water and medicine, it is not good for her to be so close to her.This is betraying the eldest brother and second brother, betraying their own mother...

"I'm all right."

San Nian lowered her head, her voice was as weak as a cat's, and her face was also sickly, but her spirit was good, she definitely didn't look like she had been poisoned.

"Hey, sleep a little longer, the more you sleep, the better you will be."

Xin Yi patted Xiao Baozi's head with satisfaction, and looked back at Zeng Qinda.

"Master Zeng, have you seen it? Do you still want to take me to Kaifeng Mansion for questioning?"

The little lady's eyes were dark and deep, full of sarcasm, and also had an indescribable carelessness, as if everything was under control, which made Zeng Qinda anxious at this moment, but he couldn't find her fault and was helpless.

"excuse me."

Zeng Qinda shook his head, and saluted Zhang Zhengxiang with his arms crossed.

"Mr. Zhang, since no one has poisoned and killed anyone, it is inconvenient for me to meddle in your housework. Take your leave."

Zhang Zhengxiang glared at Liu Shi, and returned the salute in embarrassment.

"Let the adults laugh, the old man will send the adults off."

"No need. Mr. Zhang stayed behind—"

The two walked out politely, but Xiao Xie screamed and shouted.

"Master Zeng, Sanlang's daughter-in-law is a murderer. The women can testify that those people in Zhangjia Village who threw themselves into the river to death were all killed by her..."
