Chapter 309 Counter-claim
"Your Excellency, the owner of Hengcan Liuli, Li Xier, was beating drums outside to protest her grievances, which caused a sensation and attracted a lot of people to watch!"

In the Xuanwu government office, Magistrate Fang was writing a complaint with his head down, and a servant from the government office came forward to report!
"What? This is ridiculous! This Li Xier, whom I went to arrest, was nowhere to be found, but now she dares to come to the door and cause trouble. I want to see what she is up to."

In fact, when the colored glaze lamps first became popular, his wife and daughter had seen the colorful colored glaze jade ruyi in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion with their own eyes. They described it as magnificent, so he wanted to collect one!
However, he could never get it because the quantity produced was too small, so he had to work very hard to get one recently and spent a lot of money on it. After all this effort, this turned out to be poisonous?
He was in a dilemma, so when he returned home at noon for something, he saw his wife still playing with it like a treasure. Thinking of the tragic scene of Yao Dingyuan with black and blue eyes and blood coming out of his seven orifices, he was so scared that he ordered someone to smash it immediately!
According to his understanding and the evidence in his hands, this Li Xier is actually not ordinary. He originally thought that she was just a small businessman who suddenly appeared!

Merchants value profit over separation and will do anything to earn a profit. After being reminded by County Magistrate Ma and seeing the evidence he submitted, he realized that this man indeed had a problem with his character!

The street kid was singing about him earlier, and the social atmosphere he caused was extremely bad!
As far as he understood, how could a man of such stature do such a humiliating thing? He must have seduced the prince!

Relying on the favor of the War God Prince, he is lawless. Such a person should not stay with the War God Prince! Now that someone has died for a huge sum of money, what else do you want to do?

The poisoned Yao Dingyuan had died with blood gushing out of all his orifices, and the coroner had examined him, and the precise evidence was obtained just a moment ago.

When the family members came to report the case in the morning, he immediately sent people to invite them to come for confrontation. However, his subordinate Dong Wen was caught, and there was no trace of him!

Now, many people who bought his glass cups have come to the government office with their products to ask him for an explanation!

Based on his experience, he thought that Li Xier must have found a scapegoat and got away with it, and asked his backer, the God of War Prince, to help him clean up the mess!
We have both witnesses and evidence. We are preparing to ask our superior, the Fengjing prefect, to make a direct decision on the case and bring him to justice. If someone dies, just sentence him to death!

After all, it is related to the God of War Prince, so he still has to consult his superiors!

"Bring him in, and inform Yao Dingyuan's family and the people outside that I will now formally try the case of Yao Dingyuan's poisoning!"

Li Xier was invited in by the yamen runners, and many common people squeezed in to watch.

For a moment, there was a lot of discussion, some were watching the show and some were cursing, it was really lively!
Half an hour later,
"quiet!"

Magistrate Fang glanced coldly at the hall, picked up the gavel and banged it, and the Xuanwu Yamen immediately quieted down.

"Is this the sinner Li Xier? Do you know your guilt?"

A handsome young man stood calmly in the hall. He was clean and simple, emitting confidence. His eyes seemed to have a mysterious power that attracted his thoughts.

Is he such a person?

In his imagination, he should be a neither-male nor-female person with a flattering and artificial attitude.

"Your Excellency, my name is Li Xier, and I am the owner of Hengcan Liuli. I am innocent, and Hengcan Liuli is wronged! Therefore, I beat the drum to appeal for justice!"

"Oh? Unjust? Criminal Li Xier, do you know that you have caused a death for the sake of such huge profits? But, you came to the government office to surrender yourself?"

"If you surrender yourself, why did you deliberately run away when I sent someone to invite you this morning?"

Li Xier said calmly, "Your Excellency, I didn't run away. It's just that a traitor recently appeared in my Liuli Society, causing my defective products to be stolen, which greatly affected the reputation of our Liuli Society. I just happened to hear that the person was found this morning, so I went out to deal with the matter!"

"Okay, even if you didn't know anything and went out to deal with the private affairs of the Liuli Society, now you know what happened. You, Hengcan Liuli, caused a death and also made those buyers lose a large sum of money. Do you admit your guilt?" Many of the people who came outside to ask for an explanation were holding Liuli cups in their hands, and their hands, faces and bodies were covered tightly for fear of being poisoned to death!

"Your Excellency, I am here to report a crime. Our Hengcan Liuli products have been counterfeited and misrepresented, killing people and causing huge amounts of money, as well as greatly damaging the reputation of our Hengcan Liuli. Therefore, please, Lord Fang, help us catch the real culprit on behalf of Hengcan Liuli!"

"What?" Magistrate Fang never expected that things would turn around and he would be the one to file a complaint?

"According to what you said, Yao Dingyuan's poisoning death had nothing to do with you, and was caused by that fake and inferior glass lamp?"

"That's right!"

"But, according to the evidence submitted by Prime Minister Ma, that glass cup was made by your Hengcan Glass. Yao Dingyuan's wife can prove that he was poisoned after he ate the soup in your glass cup!"

"Our coroner has also examined it and found that the glass cup does emit a toxic substance after being heated. It is consistent with the toxin in Yao Dingyuan's stomach. How do you explain it?"

"Your Excellency, I have a few words to say, but I don't know whether I should say them or not?" County Magistrate Ma stepped forward and said.

"you say!"

"I have never seen this colorful glass before. Such beautiful colors are already strange. His Hengcan Glass suddenly produced something like this. I want to ask you, Mr. Li, have you personally tested your product before it goes on the market? Is it safe for people to use?"

"Yeah, thank goodness we don't have money and can't afford such luxury goods!" Someone has already agreed!
"I thought it was a rare treasure, but I didn't expect it would kill people!"

"Do you think he would deliberately release it to the market even though he knew it was poisonous?"

"For the sake of profit, what's wrong with that? Think about it, that's a huge benefit!"

"Damn it, how wicked!"

For a moment, Li Xier was criticized by thousands of people, and there was a burst of indignant discussion in the hall.

She had indeed not tested this because she knew that substances such as iron, copper, and aluminum were trace elements needed by the human body and would not cause poisoning. However, their talk about this would attract everyone's attention.

She also didn't expect that this Meng, Wang Zhangsong could actually poison their friend to death.

Yao Dingyuan was a relatively wealthy businessman who spent his time drinking, gambling, and whoring. Without further investigation, it seemed that they were drinking buddies and had some contact with each other.

"Sir, have you found out what kind of poison Yao Dingyuan was poisoned with?" Li Xier asked slowly.

"Hmph! You kid, you keep talking about this and that. After causing a death, you always want to take shortcuts and escape. You can't do this. Our Lord Fang is an expert in solving cases, but you can get away with it so easily?" Ma Chengxian said angrily.

"Ma Chengxian, I just want the government to tell you whether there is evidence to prove that the poison he was poisoned with was the substance in my glass cup. What do you mean by looking around? Does my request for evidence violate the trial process?"

"You!" Ma Chengxian choked.
