"Okay, then what was Madam Li's motive for murder?" Lord Gu continued.

"My lord, Madam Li is from Zhaojia Village. She was originally the wife of Zhao Dayou, and Zhao Dahua was originally her sister-in-law. Later, she divorced her husband's family. That's why she has many opinions about Zhao Dahua. Everyone knows that the two of them are not getting along. A while ago, Zhao Dahua came to Madam Li's shop, and the two of them had an argument. I just told the master about these things." Rong Niang said.

"Because it was all speculation at the time, I thought of checking the source of the medicine from the pharmacy. Later, Zhao Ergou came to report the case. Zhao Ergou, please tell us what happened."

"My lord, Madam Li had done a favor for my wife and daughter, so she forced me to take the harmful medicine from the pharmacy and give it to her in order to repay the favor. Although there is no witness or evidence, I told my wife about this incident when I got home," said Zhao Ergou.

"Yes, sir, Ergou told me about this." Zhao Xiu nodded quickly.

At this point, the case was clear. It was Li Rouniang who took the medicine and harmed Zhao Dahua's life. There were many different opinions, and the onlookers all scolded Li Rouniang as an evil woman who even harmed a pregnant woman.

"Zhao Xiu, you have no conscience!" You Tian's wife also came, and many people from Zhaojia Village came.

"You can't say that. She can't break the law knowingly. What he said is true." There were also people who helped Zhao Xiu.

Father Mo was extremely worried. If this continued, Rou Niang would be convicted!

The Erni sisters were also anxious, but they were helpless at this moment. Qian Duobao held Erni's hand tightly. He believed that there would be a turning point in this matter. His feelings were always accurate!

"Silence!" Lord Gu slammed the gavel!

"Someone, bring the medicine shop owner's pot to the hall."

Zhang San brought the shop owner to the classroom and winked at Madam Zhang, who instantly felt relieved.

"Are you the owner of the pharmacy? Let me ask you, such a large amount of medicine was lost from your pharmacy, have you traced its whereabouts?" asked Lord Gu.

"My Lord, I run a small shop that is not well-run. I have always been poorly managed. Therefore, I don't pay much attention to the extra or less, so I don't know that there is less medicine." said the shopkeeper.

"What you mean is that you are not sure whether this medicine came from your pharmacy, right?" Lord Gu asked again.

The shop owner nodded and said, "To tell you the truth, we originally planned to close the shop after this month, so we are not sure how many herbs are left. So we can't be sure of anything."

"Boss, this is really the medicine I took from your pharmacy. You can't say that." Zhao Ergou said anxiously.

The owner of the medicine shop said, "Zhao Ergou, you are so capable! You dare to steal from my shop and not pay for it. Let me show you how I will deal with you."

"So, did this medicine come from your shop?" asked Lord Gu.

"Of course I can't be sure. After all, human life is at stake and I can't just make up stories. But Zhao Ergou is a cunning man. He doesn't have much money, and he dared to admit it. I think it's probably true. Who would admit such a thing for no reason, right?" the drugstore owner reasoned.

"You yourself cannot be sure, these are just your speculations." Lord Gu said.

"Yes sir."

"Okay, then do you know this person?" Lord Gu ordered someone to bring another person up.

The owner of the drugstore took one look and said, "I know him. He is our drugstore's supplier. I buy all my medicines from him. I never buy from anywhere else."

"Then tell me what medicine you provided him this month?" Lord Gu asked.

"My Lord, this is my supply order," said the supplier.

Lord Gu took it and looked at it, and said, "Is there any night related to this case?"

"My Lord, yes, but the strength is wrong."

"Oh? Tell me in detail."

"My supply this month is very small, but if what the doctor and the coroner said is true, it must be at least five times the amount I sold to him." The supplier also knows a little about pharmacology.

"Then is it possible that these are the leftover medicines from our pharmacy from previous months, and not just from this month? After all, our shop isn't doing well, so it's possible that they're left over." Zhao Ergou became anxious when he heard this and quickly explained.

"You are talking nonsense, Zhao Ergou. You already know the situation of my pharmacy. How could I stock up so many drugs if the business is not going well?

Naturally, I will replenish what is lacking. I can guarantee that there will be no medicine left, sir, because I am indeed planning not to do this anymore. How can there be more goods? "said the owner of the medicine shop.

"Sir, I have here medicines that have been supplied to this pharmacy for a whole year. The medicines he bought this time have not been delivered in the past few months." said the supplier.

"Maybe it was a year ago. The shopkeeper himself said that he was confused, so maybe he forgot." Zhao Ergou said.

"You don't know? This medicine has a special property and can only be kept for one year after being ground into powder. After one year, its efficacy is basically gone. Although it has strong medicinal properties, few people use it." said the supplier.

"Well then~" Zhao Ergou was speechless!

"Bold Zhao Ergou, you actually dare to talk nonsense and slander Madam Li in court. Why don't you tell the truth quickly!" Lord Gu was furious!

"Me, me~" Zhao Ergou looked at Qian Ruyi anxiously.

Qian Ruyi's heart tightened, she was afraid too!

"Someone come, beat him up!" Lord Gu said angrily when he saw that Zhao Ergou was stubborn and unyielding.

"Sir, don't, don't, don't hit me. I'm telling the truth. It was all Madam Wu who bribed me. She told me to say so. The thing she gave me is still hidden under my bed." Zhao Ergou said.

"Zhao Ergou, you are talking nonsense!" Qian Ruyi said hurriedly.

"I didn't, sir. What I said is true." Zhao Ergou said.

Soon, the bailiff went to take back the silver. Qian Ruyi looked as pale as death.

"Qian Ruyi, why did you do this?" Lord Gu asked.

"I, I was scared. Zhao Dahua died. Rong Niang said that she had a conflict with Li Niangzi, so I just said what she said. I didn't mean to harm anyone!" Qian Ruyi argued.

"Qian Ruyi, why don't you tell the truth now?!" Lord Gu got angry.

Qian Ruyi wanted to say something, but she saw Master Gu waving his hand, and the maid who served Qian Ruyi was brought up.

"Sir, it was Madam who did all this. She ordered me to buy the medicine and bring it here secretly. She had always wanted to harm Madam Second.

Because the Second Madam was spoiled in the mansion and was arrogant, she always suppressed the Madam, so the Madam was jealous and resentful, so she was very cruel. My Lord, please spare my life. I just bought a medicine. I didn’t do anything else. It was the Madam who put it in the dessert, and it was she who designed the Second Madam to eat it. It has nothing to do with me. "

"You actually betrayed me!" Qian Ruyi angrily went forward to hit the little maid.

"I'm sorry, Madam. My Lord found the waiter who bought medicine for me and pointed at me. I don't want to die!" said the little girl.

The matter was very clear. Li Rouniang was acquitted, Qian Ruyi was sentenced to death, Zhao Ergou was beaten and imprisoned, and Zhao Xirong's mother was beaten with a stick. However, Wu Yong escaped unscathed. He was the victim and he did not directly point the finger at Li Rouniang.

However, the results are yet to come!
