Chapter 707
"That's really strange." Wei Jingyao frowned and sighed.

"This is obviously a game set up by someone, and the purpose is Yan Wenzhen." Han Jun said firmly.

Wei Jingyao asked with a light smile, "You mean Shao Junwen?"

"There is no evidence. But... besides him, I really can't think of anyone else."

Wei Jingyao sighed helplessly: "He is a minister of the imperial court, his father is a minister of the Ministry of Rites, a second-rank official, and he himself is a fifth-rank official—you can't just say these words casually."

"I didn't say it casually, I just said it in front of you." Han Jun sighed.

"You!" Wei Jingyao looked at Han Jun helplessly, and sighed after a while, "No wonder uncle always said you won't grow up."

"I'm only 17 years old. Why do I grow up so big? It's not like you. A 15-year-old child is as deep as an old man. Are you tired?"

"Tired." Wei Jingyao sighed for a long time, "But there is no way."

Han Jun nodded and said, "Yes, that's why I asked you to come, and you help me take a closer look at these people, what kind of tricks are they playing?"

While speaking, Han Jun's carriage had already arrived at the entrance of Dali Temple, and the accompanying guards blocked the onlookers.

"Hey, hello! Who is this young master? Looks more noble than Prince Zhongyi Hou?"

"Hush—this is the young master of Ninghou Mansion!"

"Hehe! It seems that the Ninghou Mansion is also on the side of the girl from the Yan family?"

"It's hard to say. Maybe the case has already reached the sky, and it's not certain that the emperor sent these two young masters to monitor it."

"It makes sense, it's a lot of fun today!"

"Be careful, keep your mouth shut, don't say what you shouldn't say, just open your eyes and look carefully."

"It's true, it's true."

Amidst the discussions among the onlookers, the two brothers entered the gate of Dali Temple side by side.The Minister of Dali Temple heard that the young master of Ninghou Mansion and the young master Zhongyihou came together, so he got up and greeted the door.Han Jun smiled secretly when he saw this, and he knew it from the attitude of the minister of Dali Temple-these dog officials kept saying "strength of character" all day long, and they were servile and servile?
"Lord Liu, Han Jun and I just passed by here, and we were curious when we saw the crowds surrounding the door, so we came in to have a look. You can do whatever you want with the case, don't bother us, we'll just watch the excitement from the sidelines." .”

"Yes, the eldest young master is a rare visitor here. Please come to the two young masters."

"Master Liu, you are welcome. This is your yamen. You are handling this case, and we are just watching from the sidelines. You must not break the rules of trial because of us." Wei Jingyao said, and he was in the main room. Next to the trial desk, the clerk sat down on the cushion next to the long desk.

The clerk offered the things he had recorded in the case with both hands, and said respectfully, "Please take a look, my lord."

Wei Jingyao waved his hand and said with a smile: "I don't want to see, what should you all do, just pretend that we two brothers don't exist. Mr. Liu, let's start the meeting?"

"Yes." The minister of Dali Temple clasped his hands in response, yelled secretly, turned around and sat back to his seat, picked up the gavel, slapped it, and shouted: "Lead a prisoner!"

The yamen servants shouted in unison: "Leading criminals—"

Yan Wenzhen, who had been waiting outside under the eaves, and the plaintiff were brought in.

The procedure for opening the trial remains the same. After asking the criminal's name and the brief facts of the case on air, the minister of Dali Temple slapped the gavel and asked Wang Fucheng: "Plaintiff Wang Fucheng, you said you have new witnesses to accuse you. Yan Wenzhen poisoned the food, where is the witness?!"

"I have witnesses, and the witnesses are here!" Wang Fucheng looked out while talking.

Dali Temple Minister shouted loudly: "Bring witnesses!"

A man of medium build in a light blue cloth shirt entered the door, and knelt beside Wang Fucheng after entering.Yan Wenzhen turned her head and stared wide-eyed in surprise: "You?!"

"Who is kneeling? Tell me your name!"

"The villain, Bi Jiashen, is an apprentice of Jiahezhai."

Dali Temple Minister clapped the gavel again, and said loudly: "Bi Jiashen, it's about Wang Yuangui's poisoning case, tell the truth about everything you know!"

"Jiashen!" Yan Wenzhen shouted sharply, "You actually..."

"Duh!" Dali Temple Minister shouted without waiting for Yan Wenzhen to say anything, "Yan Wenzhen! This is above the court!"

Yan Wenzhen gritted her teeth, turned her face away and stopped talking.

"The younger one is an apprentice of Jiahezhai, and my father is a closed disciple of Mr. Yan, who is best at making dim sum..." Bi Jiashen began to confess hesitatingly, "Because of this, Miss Yan did not hide some things from me. That day... …She gave me money that day and asked me to buy two things, saying that they were to be used with seasoning powder. , Miss Yan said, it's a confidential matter, so let me not talk nonsense to people."

"Did she ask you to buy those two things?" Dali Siqing asked.

"It's castor beans and aconite." Bi Jiashen replied.

"What's the use of these two things?"

Bi Jiashen hurriedly replied: "I didn't know about this little one at first, but it took me a lot of trouble to buy these two things. The castor beans are easy to get. Farmers on the outskirts of the city grow them. I collected some, but this aconite was not easy to buy. Later, Mr. Zuotang from the pharmacy repeatedly warned me that this aconite, known as the nemesis of wolves, is a highly poisonous thing, so you must use it with caution. And the castor bean ——I didn’t know it before, I thought castor oil was a good thing, but I didn’t know that castor beans are also highly poisonous!”

"Very poisonous things?! Your family He Zhai actually used these highly poisonous things to make seasoning powder?!" Dali Siqing asked angrily.

Bi Jiashen hurriedly explained: "My lord does not know that although aconite is poisonous, it can be used as medicine after processing. Otherwise, how could it be sold in pharmacies. Of course, this thing is not only used as medicine but also delicious. As for its function, it is unknown." It's completely in the hands of those who make it."

"Okay, then tell me what is the relationship between these two things and Wang Yuangui's death?!" Dali Temple Secretary asked again.

Without waiting for Bi Jiashen to answer, Yan Wenzhen couldn't help shouting again: "I didn't buy these!" Then, she turned to Bi Jiashen and asked: "Bi Jiashen! You took advantage of others and came here to frame me!"

"Girl! I'm telling the truth! Why don't you admit it?!" Bi Jiashen shrank his shoulders and hid aside, muttering, "You...you told me that you hate the old man, you hate him to death The bet lost the Yan family's family business, which caused you to be rejected by the Bai family and break off the engagement with the uncle of the Bai family? So, you want... want... But why are you so careless and put this poisonous thing Infiltrated into the meals for the guests, and made a name for yourself? Girl, if one person does the work and the other is responsible, you should plead guilty, otherwise... otherwise we people will really have trouble going on..."

"You—what nonsense are you talking about?!" Yan Wenzhen was stunned by Bi Jiashen's words!What did this man say?Did he mean that he wanted to poison his father?How can it be?Although I hated that person to death, but—how could it be possible!

Wang Fucheng immediately jumped up and pointed at Yan Wenzhen, cursing: "What a vicious witch! Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?! Even my own father wants to be poisoned to death! Pity my son's death!" while cursing Then, Wang Fucheng screamed and rushed towards Yan Wenzhen, "I'm going to kill you! You witch! You should be struck by lightning—"

"You're talking nonsense! I didn't!" Yan Wenzhen stood up angrily and yelled back: "I never asked anyone to buy aconite! Bi Jiashen, you perjured me! How many benefits have you received from others! What about your conscience?!"

"Silence! Silence!" Dali Siqing patted the gavel fiercely.The yamen servants on both sides rushed forward to push Wang Fucheng and Yan Wenzhen to the ground.

Han Jun watched Yan Wenzhen being brutally pushed down by the yamen servant, his brows furrowed, and when he was about to speak, Wei Jingyao held him down.

"Master Liu, can this case be closed?" Wei Jingyao asked lightly.

The Minister of Dali Temple frowned and said, "We have all the witnesses, but there is still one physical evidence missing."

"Oh? What's missing?" Wei Jingyao asked knowingly.
