Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

Ye Jintang, who was standing by, was about to speak when he saw Song Deshan deny it, but Jiang Zhi said coldly, "I have always been fair and strict in judging cases."

"If it is really you who poisoned the family of Governor Ye, I will naturally produce evidence that will convince you."

Since the coffin needs to be opened for an autopsy, a coroner is naturally needed.

"President Zhang, I remember that there should be two coroners in the government office. Since one is dead, where is the other one?"

"Replying to Lord Jiang, the coroner went out of town to handle a case a few days ago and has not returned yet."

There can be no autopsy without a coroner.

Song Deshan breathed a sigh of relief. He had people outside. As long as the coffins could not be opened for autopsies today, his people would find a way to destroy the four buried bodies.

As long as there is no evidence, it will not be easy for Ye Jintang to sue him.

"Sir, in addition to the two coroners in the government office, there is also Doctor Dong in Yuezhou City who resigned a few years ago. He has been a coroner in the government office for many years. I believe he can perform the autopsy."

Ye Jintang stood in the lobby and spoke slowly.

"What does Judge Zhang think?"

Jiang Zhi's face looked a little ugly. He glanced at Zhang Tongpan lightly, which made him inexplicably scared.

As expected of someone from the Censorate, his eyes can make people nervous to death.

"Doctor Dong is a very good doctor. I believe that his autopsy will be very convincing. However, Doctor Dong is quite old. I don't know if he can perform the autopsy."

"I have my own way."

Jiang Zhi stood up, took a group of yamen runners, and escorted Song Deshan out of the city to the hills near the charity cemetery.

Many common people who had been watching the excitement at the government office also followed suit. This was a top-notch event in Yuezhou City, and everyone wanted to find out what was going on.

On the way there, he sent away the two servants beside Jiang Zhi. One of them went to ask Doctor Dong to help with the autopsy, and the other disappeared.

Soon, under the leadership of Zhou Cong, everyone came to the hilltop. Four new graves were hidden alone in the forest. Several yamen runners took tools and started digging directly.

Ye Jintang stood in the front, wanting to see if the person in the coffin had turned into a pile of bones.

"Miss Ye, please stand back a little. It will be very smelly when the museum opens."

Jiang Zhi stepped forward and blocked Ye Jintang's sight.

"Thank you for the reminder, Master Jiang."

Ye Jintang had just taken a few steps back when an unpleasant stench hit him in the face.

Doctor Dong, who arrived late, took out a cloth bag, grabbed some gray powder from it and sprinkled it around. The unpleasant stench was then slightly lighter.

Ye Jintang gently covered her mouth and nose, frowned, and couldn't help but take a few steps back. The stench was so bad that her stomach was churning and she felt nauseous.

"Give."

A pair of big hands handed over a blue sachet.

Looking up at the big hand, Jiang Zhi had a calm expression on his face, but Ye Jintang didn't know whether he should take it or not.

"Here, the coffin hasn't been opened yet. When it's opened, the smell will be terrible. Don't be disgusted or you'll vomit."

Jiang Zhi forcefully stuffed the sachet into Ye Jintang's hand.

"Thank you, Master Jiang."

Ye Jintang held the sachet nervously, feeling inexplicably flustered.

The scent of sachets in summer is mainly fresh woody. Ye Jintang felt vaguely that the smell of the sachets was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had smelled it for a moment.

After a while, the bailiff came forward and opened the coffin.

The moment the coffin was opened, everyone couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses because the smell was so disgusting.

Some people couldn't bear it anymore and ran away to retch.

Doctor Dong burned incense in front of each of the four people, then covered their mouths and noses with white cloth and went forward to examine them.

He took out a piece of grayish bones from a coffin and said, "Sir, I have examined them and found that all four of them died of poisoning."

"Doctor Dong, do you know what poison caused their death?"

"Judging from the color of the bones, they were poisoned by a kind of poison called bone-eating grass. If you accidentally eat bone-eating grass, a gray mark will be left on your bones after you die."

"And in the sunlight, these gray marks will glow faintly."

As he spoke, Doctor Dong took the bones and showed them to the onlookers.

Song Deshan, who was standing aside with his hands tied, yelled, "Master Jiang, I am innocent. Who knows where these bones came from? Ye Jintang must have resentment towards my Song Ji and deliberately framed him."

While saying these words, Song Deshan looked at Ye Jintang with vicious eyes.

Ye Jintang immediately understood what this meant.

He was desperate and wanted to threaten Ye Jintang. If he revealed the incident of Song Ji breaking into her yard that day, even if the Song family was in trouble, Ye Jintang would not end up well.

A woman's reputation and chastity are more important than her life.

If people knew that Song Jiye had broken into Ye Jintang's yard, even if nothing happened, all kinds of rumors would destroy her.

To deal with a shameless person like Song Deshan, you can only be more shameless than him.

"Song Deshan, open your eyes and look. Standing here are the parents, brothers and sisters of the deceased. Could it be that I would bribe so many people to frame you?"

"Besides, if there is no grudge between you and me, why would I frame you?"

"I don't have any relatives in Yuezhou City. I'm just an orphan with no one to rely on. How could I bribe so many people to frame you?"

"Today I am beating the drum to seek justice for the sixteen people in our Ye family who died. If you didn't poison them, what are you afraid of?"

"No matter how you try to blame me now, I am not afraid. God is watching what we do. I believe that Lord Jiang will definitely give me justice, and will give justice to the dead."

"Each of them was the backbone of their family. You killed them, not just one person, but an entire family. All your property will be confiscated, but you must also pay enough money to the relatives of the deceased."

Ye Jintang's eyes were firm, and her words made the four families of the deceased's eyes turn red.

"Mr. Song, my little daughter just got married. How could you, a heartless person, poison her? Her good days had just begun, but they are gone just like that. I will fight you to the death."

An old lady was crying so hard that she rushed towards Song Deshen while speaking.

The few yamen runners nearby only pretended to try to stop her, and the old lady stepped forward and scratched Song Deshan's face.

The other female members immediately followed suit and went forward to tear Song Deshan apart.

"Mom, stop hitting me. The official is still here. He will definitely help my sister get justice."

The young man openly stepped forward to pull the women in the family, but his fist landed heavily on Song Deshan.

Ye Jintang, who was standing aside, looked at Song Deshan, who was being pinned to the ground and beaten, with a hint of a smile on his face.

At this moment, Song Deshan wanted to throw dirty water on her, but he was afraid he was powerless.

After a while of this, Jiang Zhi had someone rescue Song Deshan, who had been beaten like a pig.

"Go back to the government office first, I will make the decision."
