For this interrogation, all members of the Wang family came.After hearing Mingzhu's confession, the Wang family burst into tears, saying that they were sorry for Yi Ruzhen.

"My poor granddaughter-in-law, I thought she was suffering from unbearable childbirth, and she couldn't think about it because of her depression. She didn't expect to be harmed by this lowly maid. My dear child, you died so badly! I will definitely preside over it for you." Fairness, let that poisonous woman come to justice!"

The Wang family came forward to petition one after another, strongly demanding that the county magistrate Wei Jinghan sentence Mingzhu to death and execute it immediately.

After hearing this, Wei Jinghan ignored the crying of the Wang family, but asked Mingzhu: "Did someone instruct you?"

Mingzhu cried and kowtowed and begged for mercy: "No... yes. This servant was impulsive and didn't intend to murder the third lady. I beg my lord to spare my life!"

Wei Jinghan asked again with some regret: "Did someone coerce you? Answer after thinking about it. If you give false testimony, the county will not spare you!"

Mingzhu was already crying and limp on the ground, hearing the words seemed to feel a glimmer of life.She raised her head, but what she saw was Wei Jinghan's serious and cold face, and she suddenly moved around in fear.Surrounded by people from the Wang family, everyone wished to get rid of her and hurry up, they were all people who hated her extremely.Mingzhu flinched, looked around, and thought that the thread of vitality just now was probably her fantasy, so she could only answer truthfully: "No...no. My lord, I beg you to spare this humble life of this servant, I It's really not intentional to murder the third wife."

Hearing this, the old lady of the Wang family took a step forward and said to Wei Jinghan: "My lord, the truth of the matter is already known. I hope that my lord will deal with this lowly maid in accordance with the law and avenge my granddaughter-in-law!"

Looking at the scene in the hall, Wei Jinghan paused for a while and said, "Wang Yu, do you have something to say?"

Wang Yu is Yi Ruzhen's husband, who is currently the head of the yamen's office.For some reason in the courtroom, he still looked like he was wandering in the sky, and the county magistrate's question brought him back to his senses: "Ah... my subordinates... no..."

The old masters of the Wang family, Mr. Wang, and all the wives and old ladies all looked at him with "angry and indisputable" eyes. The old man even urged him: "This lowly maid has harmed your daughter-in-law, why don't you hurry up and let the county magistrate Deal with her!"

Wei Jinghan looked at the scene in the hall, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, and he patted the gavel heavily: "Wang Yu, this county will ask you for the last time, do you have something to say?"

Wang Yu closed his eyes, then opened them for a moment and said, "My lord, my subordinates... have nothing to say, but let your lord decide!"

"You—" Mrs. Wang was so angry that his crutches would poke a hole in the flagstone floor of the courtroom.

Is it time for a verdict in this situation?Although it is true that Zhu murdered his master, there are obviously other doubts in Yi Ruzhen's case, and the case is settled here.Chu Xiaoyun thought about this point, and was about to make a remonstrance, but Wei Jinghan slapped the gavel and announced his withdrawal statement: "The evidence of Mingzhu's murder of the master is convincing, but there are still many doubts in this case, and the prisoner will be put in prison for now .The case will continue to be investigated and will be retried after adjournment! Withdraw from court!"

"grown ups--"

"Master County Magistrate—"

……

All the members of the Wang family were naturally unwilling to deal with this, they all stepped forward and spoke out almost at the same time, wanting to argue again.The yamen servants on both sides had already shouted their mighty "might——wu—" and they had no choice but to give up.

Unexpectedly, the county magistrate's judgment today coincided with his own thoughts, and Chu Xiaoyun swallowed what he had to say in the future.He looked at everything that happened in the courtroom today, and the result was in line with his wishes, but his mood unexpectedly became complicated.

Mingzhu's murder of Yi Ruzhen is solid evidence, the cloak was found that day, and the maid of the Wang family recalled that when Yi Ruzhen was killed, she saw Mingzhu enter Yi Ruzhen's room and never came out, Mingzhu also confessed her crime, It can be said that witnesses, physical evidence, and oral confessions are all available.Judging from the trial of several cases that have been experienced before, the doubts in the case are only pending trial and reporting, and are not used as the basis for the case to be closed. Although there are still doubts in Yi Ruzhen's case, Mingzhu There is no doubt that the death penalty is certain, and the case should be closed today.

However, in this case, Wei Jinghan changed his previous style of deciding the main facts of the case first. Not only did the whole case be postponed for retrial, but he did not even make any judgment on the criminally proven Pearl, but only took him into custody.Thinking about the scene where Wei Jinghan talked with him about how to investigate the case, Chu Xiaoyun suddenly felt that his worries before were unnecessary.

As he thought about something in his mind, his steps slowed down.Although the hall of the county government office is a bit far from the house, that distance is not that far away, and he was taken out of the long-distance trek.If it weren't for someone from the arresting house to pass it on, I don't know when it will go.

During the stop and go, a policeman from the arresting room hurriedly came to call Chu Xiaoyun, saying that the Lord was in the arresting room and had something to do with him.

Why did the county magistrate come to him just after he left the hall?Doubts flashed across Chu Xiaoyun's mind, and he quickly said to the arrester who came to inform him: "Understood, I'll go right away."

After saying that, he put away the wild thoughts in his head, and walked towards the arresting room at a faster speed.

Back in the small room, Wei Jinghan had already changed into ordinary clothes and was admiring several brocade paintings on the wall in the small room.Chu Xiaoyun stepped forward and bowed in salute: "This subordinate has met you."

Wei Jinghan turned around when he heard the sound, pointed to the brocade painting on the wall and said, "This painting is not bad."

Chu Xiaoyun glanced at the painting on the wall: "This is the layout of my wife, Miss Zhou's craftsmanship."

"?" Wei Jinghan didn't react for a moment.

"Gu Qingyun and Liqian's wife." Chu Xiaoyun added.

Thinking back, Wei Jinghan made an "oh" expression and nodded: "She does this for a living now?"

Chu Xiaoyun nodded "Yes".

"How is the business?" Wei Jinghan asked again.

Chu Xiaoyun shook his head: "As far as I know, it's not very good."

Wickingham nodded again.

After waiting for a while without further words, Chu Xiaoyun asked, "I don't know what's the matter with your lord coming to the arresting room in such a hurry today?"

Wei Jinghan laughed: "It's not my business, it's your business."

"...What do you mean by that?" Chu Xiaoyun was puzzled.

Wei Jinghan took two steps in the room: "Did Xiao Yun in the court today have something to say to me?"

After a short pause, Chu Xiaoyun replied, "At first, I thought my lord would finalize the case today."

"I see." Wei Jinghan smiled slightly, "There are still many doubts in this case, so if we close the case, maybe the real murderer will go unpunished."

Chu Xiaoyun cupped his hands and saluted: "Your Excellency, I have learned from you."

Wei Jinghan waved his hand: "How did the Lingnan miasma bite on Yi Ruzhen's arm come from? She has always been in good health and has a sunny and positive personality, so why did she become irritable and irritable in a short period of time... These things are still unknown. Take the trouble to investigate."

Chu Xiaoyun cupped his hands again: "Yes, my subordinates will definitely go all out."

Wei Jinghan nodded, and in a blink of an eye, he saw a calf-shaped teapot on the corner of Chu Xiaoyun's table, a very cute teapot: "Is this also Xiao Suwen's vision?"

Chu Xiaoyun nodded embarrassedly: "...Yes."

A few days ago, Su Wen lived in his small house for not a short period of time, and there are traces of his little husband's life everywhere here.In the past, he didn't feel much when holding the utensils prepared by Su Wen. Now, after Wei Jinghan mentioned it, and seeing those cute shapes, he felt that the furnishings in his headhunter's room were a bit...too cute.

Wei Jinghan chuckled, twisted the lid of the teapot, and fanned it: "Please buy me a cup of tea, it's too hot today."

It was only then that Chu Xiaoyun remembered that the county magistrate had been here for so long, and he hadn't even poured a cup of tea, so he apologized repeatedly: "It's my subordinate's mistake, make tea for your lord right away."

As he said that, he went to fetch the hot water bottle.

The tea was brewed before going to court, so it would have been cold by now.On weekdays, Chu Xiaoyun would drink this herbal tea directly.This autumn season when the tiger's remaining prestige is on the rise, drinking some herbal tea is just the time to relieve the heat.But it's not easy to treat the county magistrate with a pot of herbal tea. Chu Xiaoyun planned to make another pot of hot tea to entertain the county magistrate.

Seeing him bring a thermos, Wei Jinghan waved his hand: "I see that the water in your teapot is still full. It must have been brewed before you have time to drink it? Just drink this herbal tea, just to relieve the heat."

Seeing Chu Xiaoyun standing still, he said again: "Really, I'll just drink herbal tea."

Well, Chu Xiaoyun and Wei Jinghan are quite familiar, knowing that the county magistrate is not the kind of person who doesn't mean it, so he put down the thermos and went to pour tea for Wei Jinghan.

As soon as the tea was poured and handed to Wei Jinghan, the door of the small room creaked open.Chu Xiaoyun raised his head and was about to scold the person who came in for not knocking, but when he saw that it was Su Wen, he immediately changed his expression and greeted him happily.

Wei Jinghan hadn't had time to drink the tea yet, when he saw the lovely twin from Chu Xiaoyun's family push the door in, the two looked like they were talking about each other, and couldn't help joking: "I think it's time for me to go."

Chu Xiaoyun, who just went up to greet his little husband and took the things in Su Wen's hand, quickly let go of Su Wen's hand that he couldn't help but turned around to Wei Jinghan, and said in embarrassment: "Ah... my lord , I didn’t expect my wife to come today.”

Su Wen came in a hurry, and was naturally very excited to see his husband, but he deliberately stepped into the small room quietly to surprise Chu Xiaoyun, only to find that the magistrate Wei Jinghan was there.He was already embarrassed when he heard what Wei Jinghan said, and he was even more embarrassed, and two little red clouds flew on his face: "I don't know that the county magistrate is here today... is he disturbing you to discuss business? I... I'm leaving right now..."

Wei Jinghan waved his hand: "I'm just joking with you. We have finished talking about business matters, and I still have business matters to deal with. After drinking this cup of tea, I really have to leave."

Su Wen's gaze was attracted to the cup of tea in Wei Jinghan's hand, and he took a few sips, and when Wei Jinghan was about to drink the cup of tea, he strode forward and knocked over the cup of tea in Wei Jinghan's hand. Teacup: "Can't drink!"

Several steps away, the incident happened suddenly, Su Wen really ran forward with all his strength.

After knocking over Wei Jinghan's tea, his face turned pale all of a sudden, his brows were frowned, and he gradually crouched down with his stomach in his arms.

Chu Xiaoyun didn't know why Su Wen suddenly knocked over the teacup in the county magistrate's hand. He looked at the scene in front of him in embarrassment. He stepped forward two steps to see how Wei Jinghan was doing. He was not surprised when he saw Su Wen hugging Wei Jinghan. Slowly squatting down on his stomach, accompanied by the sound of gasping in pain, he ignored Wei Jinghan for a while, and hurriedly supported his little husband.

"Wenwen, what's wrong with you? Is it a stomachache?" Chu Xiaoyun became anxious when he saw Su Wen's pale face.

Su Wen ignored Chu Xiaoyun, struggling to point to the broken teacup on the ground in front of Wei Jinghan: "The tea is poisonous..."

"What?" Chu Xiaoyun and Wei Jinghan were startled, and they looked at each other in disbelief.

At this time, the police officer who was on duty in the lobby outside heard the sound and came to ask: "Captain, what was the sound just now?"

Looking up, he saw Wei Jinghan standing in the small room facing the door with a worried face. There was a broken teacup on the floor in front of him. He hurriedly asked, "My lord, what happened?"

Wei Jinghan flicked the sleeves of his official robe: "Master Quick Pass, come here with the silver needle. By the way, there is also a medicine box. Be quick!"

The catcher turned his head and glanced at Chu Xiaoyun, said "yes" and quickly backed away.

"My lord, please take care of yourself." Chu Xiaoyun said to Wei Jinghan, ignoring that Wei Jinghan was still in his own place, he hugged Su Wen on the couch in his own room, let Su Wen lie on it, anxiously Ask, "Wenwen, what's the matter with you? If you feel uncomfortable, tell Weifu, and I will take you to Doctor Liu."

At this moment, he was completely focused on Su Wen, and completely forgot that the poisoned cup of tea in Wei Jinghan's hand came from the teapot in his room.
