Zhang Yaozhuo waved his hand, and the officer stepped back.

The Prince of Guangling County smiled unhurriedly.

"Why don't you go to trial? I'm waiting to see?"

In an instant, Xin Yi saw the ever-changing emotions on Zhang Yaozhuo's face. Embarrassment, anger, helplessness, and anxiety about the unknown.

Xin Yi could not help but sigh at the magical power of character. Fu Jiuqu was born with a kind of energy that made people uncomfortable but helpless. A look in his eyes, a smile, and saying nothing brought endless pressure.

"cough!"

Zhang Yaozhuo slapped the prison wall and stopped the execution.

"Xiao Zhang, I would like to ask you again, what is your relationship with Cui You and Deputy Commander Cao? Who instigated you to poison people with nux vomica?"

Xin Yi smiled faintly, "Sir, from the beginning to the end, there was only one person who used poison, and that was Chen Chusheng, the former Hanlin Academy medical officer who disguised himself as Cui You. Cao and I both said that we have no personal relationship and are not familiar with each other..."

Zhang Yaozhuo: "In front of the Prince of Guangling County, you still dare to talk nonsense? You and Cao Duzhi are not familiar with each other. Why did you chase him in Yunqiqiao in public? Why did Cao Duzhi give you the magnolia hairpin? Also, I, my house

Let me remind you that Chen Chusheng died in a fire in the first year of Qingli, so you will not be allowed to talk nonsense."

Xin Yi pursed her dry mouth and turned to look at Fu Jiuqu.

"The Prince of Guangling County can testify for the daughter of the people."

"That's nonsense!" Zhang Yaozhuo grabbed the gavel and was about to take it...

"Yes. I will testify." Fu Jiuqu fiddled with the jade ring with his slender fingers and spoke lazily and calmly.

"Prince?" Zhang Yaozhuo's expression changed slightly.

Fu Jiuquyun smiled lightly, "On the day of the incident, I was at Yaowang Pagoda and was an eyewitness. Although Lord Zhang did not call me to testify, as an official of the imperial court, I have no shirking responsibility."

Zhang Yaozhuo was speechless.

In the past, Fu Jiuqu always had an attitude of not offending anyone in the overt and covert fights between the Zhang and Cao families, but today he testified for Zhang in court, which was equivalent to standing up for Cao Yi, which made Zhang Yaozhuo very angry.

"Has the prince thought clearly?"

Fu Jiuqu: "I'm not deaf, but my memory is pretty good."

The two of them are not talking about the same thing.

Zhang Yaozhuo was a little annoyed and laughed.

"According to the secret letter, the mastermind behind the water ghost case was at Yaowang Tower that day. Who does the prince think that person is?"

This is a warning to Fu Jiuqu. If the mastermind behind the scenes is not Cao Yi, then he himself will be suspected, so why bother to come forward and cause trouble?

Fu Jiuqu smiled playfully and asked the question without answering.

"Master Zhang, are there any other witnesses and evidence that need to be presented to the court?"

Zhang Yaozhuo didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he frowned and shook his head.

Fu Jiuqu raised his eyes and seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"Then it's my turn."

Without giving Zhang Yaozhuo a chance to speak, Fu Jiuqu gave him a high-five and said, "Sun Huai——"

Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of noise and shouting outside the lobby.

A group of common people stood on tiptoes, tilted their heads and stretched their necks to look inside, carrying baskets in their hands and children hanging on their backs. They were all villagers who had come from Zhangjiacun.

"We need to meet your lord."

"We are here to petition."

"Master Qingtian, you have been wronged!"

The officials stood in front of him with swords, but there were a lot of villagers. They pushed and shoved each other for a while, and their voices were shrill, attracting more people to watch.

The street in front of Kaifeng Mansion was surrounded by water.

The official had to beat the gong to stop him.

"Quiet! Quiet."

The noise was heard in the lobby. Zhang Yaozhuo glanced at Fu Jiuqu, who had a pale expression, and sneered and slapped the gavel.

"Come on, bring the troublemaker to court."

A group of people crowded in, and the Yamen servants brought the three or five leaders into the hall. Xin Yi saw that the people in the front were Mrs. Cao, Uncle Zhang, and the clan leader of Zhangjiacun.

Several people held petitions, came up and knelt down, and then made representations for Xin Yi.

"Master Qingtian, Mrs. Zhang has great medical skills, practices medicine honestly, and has treated countless women, children, orphans and widows in Zhangjia Village. She is a great person! The whole village did not believe that she would poison people, so we asked the scholar to write a petition and send it,

Please take a look, sir..."

The names of the villagers were densely written on the petition.

The names were stamped with red handprints, and the long piece of paper looked very shocking.

Xin Yi was very surprised.

Ms. Cao has a good relationship with her, and Uncle Zhang will defend her, but they may not necessarily think of this method. Even if they do, how can they encourage the villagers to write a petition?

Was it done by Fu Jiuqu?

Or...Cao Yi?

Xin Yi's lips twitched and he stared at Fu Jiuqu inquiringly.

Fu Jiuqu smiled and raised his eyebrows like a spring breeze.

"Master Zhang." Fu Jiuqu glanced at the young Xie family and Liu family mother and son who were kneeling in the hall, "Three unscrupulous people disrupted the court and blatantly deceived your master, they will be severely punished!"

With the petition from the villagers, Xiao Xie's statement that everyone in Zhangjia Village hates Xinyi is obviously untenable. Then, her testimony loses credibility.

Zhang Yaozhuo coughed slightly, "Prince, although Xiao Xie's confession belongs to the family, Xiao Zhang still cannot deny the matter of the poisoning of Nux Vomica..."

Xin Yi suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, Xiao Xie swore that she heard with her own ears that Butcher Wang and I conspired to use strychnos to poison her. She also said that Butcher Wang asked me to put the poison away so that no one would find it. So, I

I want to ask, how do I poison others with nux vomica?"

Little Xie looked at her blankly for a moment and stammered.

"Poison naturally has to enter the mouth. I'm not you, how can I know how you poisoned it?"

Xin Yi suddenly laughed.

It is a consensus that Nux vomica was poisoned. However, it seems that no third person except her and Chen Chusheng knew the way and method of poisoning. The person who conspired with Xiao Xie to falsely accuse her obviously did not know either.

"You are really stupid and bad!" Xin Yi said calmly: "The poison of Nux vomica is not in food or drinking water, but through the Nux vomica tree planted beside the water channel, and the fruits will naturally fall into the water channel and be soaked for a long time.

Finally, when the peel rots, the toxin will seep into the water. Because it is diluted with water and the toxicity is low, the fetus will be deformed, but the mother will be fine... And the poison does not have to be ingested. Pregnant women can use water detergent from the drain to wash clothes and handkerchiefs.

Use may also have an impact on the fetus."

Xin Yi told Chen Chusheng's careful poisoning method in public. At the same time, she also revealed Chen Chusheng's true purpose and reason for taking revenge on Zhangjiacun.

She spoke very loudly, as if she was complaining and venting the pain of the extermination of Chen Chusheng's family, her words were cold and solemn, and the whole room was shocked.

Everyone's expressions had already changed.

The villagers outside the lobby also let out bursts of sighs.

Xin Yi continued: "Since there is such a sophisticated way of poisoning, and people can be harmed without anyone noticing, why should I go to the trouble of using nux vomica to fight with pig butchers like Butcher Wang?

Little Mr. Xie saw it and took advantage of me? Am I afraid that others will not know about it? Who is lying? You can tell me clearly."

Little Xie trembled and screamed, "If you hadn't poisoned me, how could you know so clearly?"

Xin Yi smiled slightly, "I'm a doctor, idiot!"

Zhang Yaozhuo shot the scene in awe.

"Come on, take little Mr. Xie down and wait for him to be punished."

Little Xie looked around, panicked, cried and shouted that she was wronged. Zhang Yaozhuo thought she was in the way, and was already impatient. He waved his hand, and the yamen took her away.

When the crying went away, Zhang Yaozhuo put on a smiling face and bowed his hand to Fu Jiuqu.

"Your Majesty, even if Mr. Xie lied, every piece of evidence points to Mr. Zhang, and it is not the conjecture and slander of this palace."

"Master Zhang's words make sense." Fu Jiuqu smiled and slowly turned his head, "Sun Huai——"

"Sir!" A government servant hurriedly came in and interrupted Fu Jiuqu again.

"Jingzhao County Lord and Cao Mansion's eldest daughter asked for a meeting outside the hall, saying they were here to testify."

Zhang Yaozhuo looked at Fu Jiuqu.

Fu Jiuqu slowly glanced at Xin Yi, raised his eyebrows, smiled vaguely, and waved his hand to signal Sun Huai to wait.

A Guangling County Prince is endless, and another Jingzhao County Prince comes? Zhang Yaozhuo feels a little cold, but as the chief official of Kaifeng Palace, he has to bite the bullet and continue the investigation.

"welcome!"

The government officials on both sides shouted "mighty" while holding their killing sticks.

The atmosphere in the courtroom was inexplicably low-pressure.
