The most cattle country medical concubine

Chapter 238 The Mystery Is Revealed (4)
The day of the court session was cloudy, and it looked like there was going to be light rain.

The gloomy weather added another touch of color to this solemn case.Dali Temple's Shaoqing, Mr. Sun, the empress's father, Mr. Liu, Minister of Criminal Justice, and Mr. Yan from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the three of them wore official hats and robes, entered the Yuqing Palace to report to the emperor about the opening of the court, and then moved to Dali Temple to attend the meeting. trial.

When the three of them entered the Yuqing Palace to meet Lord Wanli, Lord Wanli looked tired as if he hadn't closed his eyes last night. He leaned on the golden cushion and said, "The princess is my treasure, and generals like Ma Dekang and Ma Yusheng are like my right and left hands." At the beginning, when my palm was combined with my left and right hands, I was deeply relieved. I felt that the tomorrow of the Ming Dynasty would be brilliant and full of sunshine. Now such an unfortunate thing happened, not only took away my palm treasure, but also I want to cut off my left and right hands, you wait for Aiqing, do you know that my heart is bleeding like a knife?"

"After hearing the news of the sudden death of the five princesses, I also couldn't sleep at night. Day and night, I hoped to relieve the emperor's worries, find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible, catch the murderer and bring him to justice, punish the villains, and warn the evil in the world. Your majesty is wise. " Master Sun kowtowed in place of the other two adults.

Lord Wanli nodded, as if mourning deeply, and said weakly: "You go, I believe you. I am waiting for your news, and I am waiting for your news in Yuqing Palace today."

The three of them knocked their heads together and retreated.

The autumn wind was cold, but there were big, round beads of sweat on the foreheads of the three of them.

This case is not easy to judge. If Ma Dekang and Ma Yusheng are easily convicted, he is afraid that Fu Zhongping will rebel.I heard that Fu Zhongping entered Yuqing Palace yesterday, and he didn't know what he said to Master Wanli.

Thinking of this, Master Sun felt a big stone hanging in his heart.

The three presiding judges looked at each other before riding to Dali Temple to hear the case.The guards beside him couldn't read what was written in their eyes.

All he knew was that when he was about to reach the gate of the court, he met Qi Ye who was waiting there.

Today is an important day for the trial of my sister's case, how could Qi Ye not come.But he is not a witness, he can only observe.

"Thank you, three adults, for your trouble." Qi Ye clasped his hands and bowed deeply to the three presiding judges.

The three presiding judges found that in such a big case, except for Qi Ye who was guarding the door, the other princes did not show up.Should it be said that the world is as cold as in the royal family?

Sun Jinhong frowned, wondering if his grandson was waiting in the uterus for news.

In the hall, the two prisoners had returned to their seats.The three presiding judges sat on the trial seat, and heard a report from the yamen servant outside the door, saying that Fu Zhongping had arrived.

A hint of anxiety appeared involuntarily at the corners of the brows of the three of them.

In fact, this case is easier said than done.The emperor wanted to chop off the head of Ma Dekang and Ma Yusheng to calm his anger and comfort his daughter's heroic spirit. Fu Zhongping should not stop him, and let the case be judged like this.However, Fu Zhongping wanted to stop him no matter what.If you want them to say, it means that Fu Zhongping doesn't know the current affairs, and he doesn't know how to bend and stretch.

But having said that, if Fu Zhongping really swallowed this grievance, he would never even think about raising his head in the court in the future.No one will fear the Admiral's Mansion anymore.

Fu Zhongping walked in arrogantly, glanced at the Ma family father and son who were kneeling on the ground ready to plead guilty, cleared his throat, and said to the presiding officer: "Yesterday, I entered the Yuqing Palace to report to the emperor, the emperor I also think it is necessary to add more witnesses in order to find out the truth of the case.”

"Who is it?" Sun Jinhong asked with his first eyelids twitching.

"The side concubine Yu of the crown prince in the crown prince's womb. This person has already admitted to the seventh master and the crown prince. Before the death of the fifth princess, he used the prescription he got from the Puji Bureau to lend it to the fifth princess. .”

According to Fu Zhongping's words, in addition to Mrs. Yu, the additional witnesses should include the doctor who manages famous prescriptions from the Puji Bureau, and the man who served the fifth princess in Ma's mansion, who was responsible for prescribing medicine for the fifth princess and some other servants.

When the rows of witnesses were sent to Dali Temple after being ordered by the yamen servants, a lot of time had passed and it was noon.Everyone thought that Lord Wanli was waiting for news in Yuqing Palace, so they didn't dare to adjourn the court at will, no one had lunch, and the court started and the trial continued.

First, Mrs. Yu went to court.Of course Yu was scared to death, knelt on the ground trembling, and told all the things he had done.Logically, she didn't make any mistakes.The prince had told her that the news would definitely leak into the other party's hands, so she could just say it straight.

After listening to Mrs. Yu's statement, none of the presiding judges or the observers could hear Mrs. Yu's suspicion of being harmful.If Mrs. Yu really wanted to harm someone, why wait until this time to do it? Moreover, Mrs. Yu didn't know how to prescribe medicine, so how would she know how to tamper with the prescription to kill someone.

"What about this prescription now?" Sun Jinhong asked Mrs. Yu.

Yu shook her head: "After being taken away by the fifth princess, the concubines dare not ask the fifth princess for it back."

"Which doctor in the Puji Bureau did you ask for the prescription?"

"Pharmacist Qin."

Most of the people in charge of prescriptions in the Puji Bureau are pharmacists.Pharmacist Qin is one of them.Hearing the call, Yaoshi Qin stood up.

I saw this Qin pharmacist, about forty or fifty years old, with white hair, and an old pharmacist.Such an old pharmacist, who works in a famous pharmacy, must be very experienced.

Pharmacist Qin came out, put his hands on the ground, knocked his head, and replied: "Cao Min reported to your lord, Cao Min is the pharmacist who manages the prescriptions in the pharmacy, but how many people have eaten the prescriptions in our pharmacy, and I have never heard of it endangering the common people. Life. If it is true that this prescription is wrong, it would have killed many people, and our medicine hall would not have to be opened, I hope your lord will see clearly."

The trial of the case has reached this point, and several chief judges have entered a tangled stage.It can be determined that the prescriptions in the Puji Bureau are harmful, but the prescriptions in the Puji Bureau were prescribed by the ancients, and the ancients have long since died. How to deal with this case?The emperor wanted to behead someone, but in the end, did he end up beheading the person in the coffin?Do you still want their official hats? !

Seeing the furtiveness in the eyes of the three of them, Fu Zhongping must have been unwilling to reconcile some people's confessions, so he waited for an opportunity to come out and said, "I can recommend a witness to my lords. This witness, everyone My lord has also heard a little bit about her, she has superb medical skills, in fact, she was the first to see something strange about why the fifth princess died of illness."

When the three of Sun Jinhong heard what he said, they all knew who he was talking about.She was the only one who repeatedly revealed her old background.To tell the truth, they were extremely reluctant to let this man play.However, if she is not allowed to come out, who can bear the responsibility of judging the wrong case.It's good to use her as a shield, and put it in front of the empress dowager.
