Nongmen Fu's wife and the whole family are villains

Mu Siyu was waiting at the gate of the county government office. Not long after, a serious middle-aged man came out and bowed his hands to Mu Siyu neither humble nor overbearing.

"The prime minister's wife is here, and the officials are far away to welcome you."

"County Gu, I'm just here to learn about the case of my parents and seniors. I don't have any other intentions. I would like to ask Magistrate Gu to make it easier for me." Mu Siyu said calmly.

"Ma'am, please come inside."

"Thank you."

The Gu county magistrate welcomes Mu Siyu into the county government office.

The people who passed by looked at this scene and guessed who that person was.

"Why do I feel that person is a little familiar?"

"Look at that handsome body, and those murderous guards behind him, it must be the lady of a rich family, how could you have seen it?"

"It does look familiar, but I can't remember it."

"Blow it you! You can blow the cowhide to the sky."

An old man passed by carrying a load, and when he looked at the woman's side face, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"What are you doing standing there?" Niu Mei noticed that Mu Dashan hadn't moved, and urged impatiently, "Hurry up!"

Even if Mu Dashan stood in front of Mu Siyu at this moment, he probably wouldn't be able to recognize him.

As for Niu Mei, the woman who married Mu Dashan as his second wife looked like an old woman in her 60s and [-]s, and there was a big gap between her and Tong's.

"Your original husband committed a crime and was imprisoned. Does she feel relieved that she will never be able to live such a carefree life as a noble lady?" Niu Mei gloated, "Last time I went to their I went to the hospital to see a doctor, got to know each other, and asked them to waive my medicine fee, but they refused. Such a stingy person will be punished by God, and he will be punished soon."

"You go to the doctor, why shouldn't you pay for the medicine?" Mu Dashan interrupted impatiently, "It's not like our family doesn't have the money, why should we lose face?"

"You scolded me!" Niu Mei stared at Mu Dashan, "You don't look at yourself like this, you are not even half as good as Dr. Zhu, do you still miss your original partner? Let me tell you, Mu Dashan, anyone can do it." Dislike me, you have no right to dislike me. When I married you, I was never married. You are already married twice, why do you still dislike me? Also, you can obviously save money, why take money? Let's agree Yes, as long as we save enough 500 taels, we will adopt my elder sister’s son to take care of us until the end of his life. Now that we have saved 450 taels, we can bring that child with another 50 taels.”

"Your elder sister's son is already ten years old." Mu Dashan frowned, "Even if he brought him here, he wouldn't recognize his real parents, but recognize us two fake ones instead."

"That's better than dying without a son." Niu Mei said, "Of course you don't want to raise it anymore, and you still miss the son who became a high official! But, if you miss him, they don't want to recognize you. I heard that Every year, the Zhu family will receive annual gifts from their siblings from the capital. If their siblings remember you, why haven’t they asked you? Not to mention annual gifts, they haven’t even sent a piece of cloth.”

In the county government office, the news Mu Siyu got from the county magistrate was no different from what Tong said.

"I want to see Uncle Zhu."

"The lower official sent someone to take Madam there. But Madam, if you ask clearly, please don't interfere with this case." The Gu County Magistrate said sternly.

"If it's really Uncle Zhu's fault, I certainly won't interfere with your lord's interrogation." Mu Siyu said, "The state owns the state's laws, and the family has its own rules. I respect the laws."

Mu Siyu followed the yamen servant into the prison.

"Doctor Zhu, someone is here to see you."

Dr. Zhu thought it was Mrs. Tong or the two apprentices, so he looked up.

When he looked up, he revealed a haggard face.

"You are..." Doctor Zhu was shocked, "Shaoyu Niang..."

Mu Siyu smiled lightly: "Long time no see, Uncle Zhu."

"It's been many years." Dr. Zhu sighed, "I didn't expect that when we meet again, we will meet here. Have you seen your mother? How is she now?"

"I've seen it." Mu Siyu didn't hide anything, and said truthfully, "She was in a hurry because of this matter and fell ill for a while. But your two apprentices are all good, they have been taking care of her and prescribing medicine for her Decoction."

"Those two children are good-natured, so they are my closed disciples." The disciples I accepted before have already left the teacher, and instead of staying in Hubei City, they went to other places to open a shop and practice medicine.

"Uncle Zhu, let's talk about this case!" Mu Siyu said, "You are an old doctor, and things like taking the wrong medicine should not happen. Are you sure you really took the wrong medicine? Was there anything suspicious at that time?" ?”

"My eyes are good and sometimes bad. That day I had an eye disease, and I was a little hazy. However, I prepared those medicines a long time ago, and I didn't check them carefully. I just took them to the back kitchen and fried them. Because the medicines It is necessary to control the temperature of the decoction. People who don’t understand medical science can’t do this well. I went to the room to give it to the lady. Not long after taking the medicine, the lady vomited blood and died. The people in the house controlled me and then reported it to the official. They invited another doctor to cooperate with him in the inspection. Poisonous, the same as the one in Madam's stomach."

"So, you pleaded guilty?" Mu Siyu asked.

"Maybe I didn't check carefully when I received the goods, and I didn't find out the poison hidden in the medicine. Farewell, those helpless illnesses are the pain in my heart, but this time... this mistake is a sin." Dr. Zhu looked at the palm of his hand, "My hands of practicing medicine to save people are stained with the blood of innocent people, It can't be washed off anymore."

"Uncle Zhu, I have two packs of medicine here, please help me look!" Mu Siyu winked at Shang Zhi.

Shang Zhi handed over two packs of medicine.

Dr. Zhu opened the first package and called out the names of the medicinal materials skillfully.

Obviously the medicinal material has been cut into slag.

Then he opened the second pack, which was also a pack of broken medicinal materials, but there were not just one kind, but three kinds.

Not only that, but the three herbs are very similar.

As for medicinal materials, especially many medicinal materials related to roots, if they are chopped up, it must be difficult to distinguish them.

Dr. Zhu still called out their names, not only that, but also separated them when distinguishing them. It can be seen that an old doctor like him, even if he can't see them, can tell them apart just by smelling them.

"Uncle Zhu, did you smell medicinal herbs at that time?" Mu Siyu asked.

"I smell it habitually. Especially when I can't see clearly, I rely more on my sense of smell and hearing." Dr. Zhu was helpless, "I didn't expect to make a mistake."

"Uncle Zhu, have you ever thought about the possibility that your medicinal materials are fine, and you didn't kill others by mistake." Mu Siyu said, "You can smell such broken medicinal residues and tell the difference between them. If your eyes are intact, you can't see at all. It can be seen that even if you can't see clearly, you are much better than us. Why do you doubt your own judgment?"

"Is that really the case?" Dr. Zhu was puzzled, "But, the government did an investigation and found no other clues."
