Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 200 Murder 1
Ye Qiongdan was silent for a moment. In the face of disaster, the dark side of human nature will indeed be infinitely magnified.

"What about the end?" She suppressed the pain in her heart and asked again.

"In the end, the magistrate of course ignored their request, and sent more officers and soldiers to guard outside the village, but..." the guards paused, "Go into the village and give them some medicine to treat the plague. Doctors have also been infected with the plague one after another, and one of them is even dying."

"How could this happen?" Ye Qiongdan's heart sank, "The old doctor at Qili Zhenjihetang has a prescription for curing the plague, don't you all know?"

She has obviously given out the prescription for several days!

The momentum of this plague shouldn't be so unstoppable!

"Miss Ye, don't mention it! The old doctor in Jihetang has been arrested. Today is the day of release. The county magistrate will review the case. Once the old doctor is convicted, he will be beheaded." "The fate of the gods," said the guard, "someone took the medicine he prescribed to cure the plague and died!"

"Impossible!" Ye Qiongdan was very confident in that prescription. Even if the prescription was given to a healthy person, it would definitely not kill him!
"Really, Miss Ye, if you don't believe me, you can go to the court to have a look. It's still early in the day, and when you arrive at the county government office, you probably won't be promoted soon."

"Well, then I'll go first," Ye Qiongdan nodded to him, put down the curtain of the carriage, and shouted to the carriage driver outside the curtain, "Go to the county government office!"

"Okay!" The coachman replied.

"Hurry up!" Ye Qiongdan added hastily.

The coachman didn't dare to neglect Mr. Sun's distinguished guest, so he quickly accelerated the speed of the carriage, and after half a stick of incense, he put her in front of the county government office.

Ye Qiongdan took some reward money from the money bag to the coachman, then jumped out of the carriage and hurriedly squeezed into the crowd.

"Since there is no evidence to prove my innocence, then I can only convict you of homicide, and order someone to take you to Caishikou to be beheaded at another day!" The county magistrate took out a gun from the tube. The stick, throw it on the ground!

"Wait!" Ye Qiongdan yelled and broke into the court.

The people inside and outside the court were all shocked by this sudden change.

After Ye Qiongdan bowed to the magistrate, he couldn't wait to say: "My lord, this case is very strange, and the old doctor in Jihetang is a respected Xinglin master. There must be something hidden about this matter. Please let me know." My lord is aware!"

The county magistrate was stunned.

As soon as the haggard old doctor saw Ye Qiongdan, his eyes turned red, and he shouted hoarsely: "Miss Ye, this is my fault alone, you should leave quickly!"

The key to this murder case lies in the medicine the patient drank.

The old doctor has practiced medicine for many years, how come he doesn't know that even if the medicine is given to people who are not sick, it will not kill people?

But the question is, does anyone believe him?

For this reason, the county magistrate also invited Dr. Yuan, who was second only to him in Qili Town, to see if the medicine was poison. Then Dr. Yuan turned black and white, saying that it was not a cure for the plague at all. Medicine, it is a powerful poison!

In front of the authoritative doctor in Qili Town, the old doctor in Jihetang couldn't argue with anything!
Since it was an irreversible deadlock, how could he drag the innocent Ye Qiongdan into it?

"Don't worry, I came up with the prescription, and I will clear up your grievances!" Ye Qiongdan said loudly.

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar inside and outside the courtroom.

The county magistrate's face is very ugly, Ye Qiongdan has said so, how will he protect her for a while?
Isn't this creating problems for him?

It just doesn't work!

In the past, he only admired this girl very much. Now, she has another identity, that is, the adopted daughter of Commander Xu, the third-rank military officer in Yiling County. How dare he deal with her rashly?

Isn't that blocking his official career?

"Well, it turned out to be you!" The family of the deceased yelled angrily, "What kind of enmity do I have with you? We don't know each other. Why did you use poison to kill us? Or, your purpose is not only Not only harming us, but the entire Qinghe County? You have such a vicious heart!"

After hearing this, the onlookers outside the venue looked at Ye Qiongdan with a very unkind look.

"I didn't expect this talented woman who is famous in Yiling County to have such a dark heart! I really misjudged her!"

"She's a girl from the countryside! A girl who grew up in bitter water, can you expect her to have even a little kindness towards the world?"

"It's really terrible! A person with such harmful desires like her should be dragged to Caishikou and beheaded immediately. This is to eliminate harm for the people!"

"That's right! She should be beheaded!"

……

All of a sudden, everyone shared the same hatred and shouted loudly.

"Behead!"

"Behead!"

"Behead!"

……

The shouts can be heard endlessly, for a long time!

The county magistrate patted the gavel three times before quieting the hall.

"Miss Ye, you said that you wrote this prescription, do you have proof?" The county magistrate asked quickly.

As he asked, he also winked at her, obviously hoping that she would follow the ladder he had laid and then go down.

Unexpectedly, instead of walking down the steps he gave, Ye Qiongdan said, "Bai Shu, Astragalus, Licorice... I have already recited the prescriptions, but the ingredients are exactly the same as the medicines the deceased took during his lifetime? "

The county magistrate's heart suddenly turned cold, and the family members of the deceased nodded after listening.

"This is the prescription that the grass-roots told Miss Ye! This is not the prescription that Miss Ye came up with!" The kind-hearted old doctor still persisted, "This is the crime of the grass-roots alone, and no one else is special!"

"I don't believe it!" one of the family members of the deceased shouted, "Are you a scapegoat? What kind of benefits did she give you to make you this scapegoat? Did she give you 1000 taels of silver?"

"You spitting blood!" The old doctor blushed with anger.

"My lord! It seems that the old doctor of Jihetang is just a scapegoat. We demand that the real principal culprit be dealt with! We demand that she give us an explanation!" the family member of the deceased said excitedly.

"What do you want to explain? To see me beheaded for public display?" Ye Qiongdan raised his eyebrows.

The family members of the deceased fell silent.

Beheading for public display?What good would she do them by beheading her?

The reason why they wronged the old doctor of Jihetang was because they took money from Doctor Yuan, but they only gave half of the money.

Dr. Yuan was dissatisfied with the fame of Jihetang's old doctor, who kept dominating him and wanted to kill him. They were just a knife in his hand.

As long as the old doctor is dead, they can get the other half of the money from Doctor Yuan.
