After the Hou family's mistress went crazy, she became the favorite of the entire capital.

The woman was well prepared and told when her son would seek medical treatment and what his symptoms were.

Then, she took out another prescription and started shouting.

"My son just took your medicine and died that night."

"lie!"

Shu Yan shouted coldly, which frightened the woman and made her feel guilty.

"Everyone knows that my doctor will go out of the city to treat homeless people. At the time you mentioned, my doctor was not in the shop at all."

As he said that, Shu Yan asked shopkeeper Xu to bring him the medical records and the sales accounts of the medicinal materials for the past two weeks. After checking the medicinal materials sold that day in public, there was no content in the prescription at all.

The woman was stunned, looked down at the prescription in her hand, and kept repeating it.

"No way, they obviously said they bought it here."

"them?"

Shu Yan sneered, "Didn't you just say that you brought your son here to buy the medicine?"

Knowing that she had said something wrong, the woman hurriedly explained, but the more she explained, the more she made mistakes.

Shu Yan used his feet to lift the white cloth covering the body, and the few who were timid were scared away.

Ah Si was about to speak when he caught a glimpse of He Wangzhou's gloomy expression from the corner of his eye. He closed his mouth again and moved forward sensibly to separate the flow of people for him and let him walk in.

The woman rushed forward and grabbed the white cloth to cover it again. She cursed and said that Shu was arrogant and disrespectful to the dead.

"so what!"

Without even a wink from He Wangzhou, Ah Si had already dragged the woman aside.

Shu Yan was about to bend down, and his thin and clean fingertips were about to touch the corpse, when He Wangzhou pulled her up.

"You don't need to do anything about this kind of unfortunate thing."

He Wangzhou glanced at it with disgust, and with just one glance, he concluded, "This is not your son. You picked this up on the roadside, right?"

The woman panicked, "What nonsense are you talking about! This is my son!"

"Your clothes are neat and clean. Although they are not as good as those of rich people, they are also new clothes bought in a tailor shop, right? But your son's clothes are made of coarse linen and are full of wrinkles and seams. There is dirt between his fingers, and there is dirt on his elbows and under his neck. It’s also all dirty. Not to mention my hair, it’s so dirty that I haven’t washed it even once in half a year.”

His analysis was clear and logical, and the sensible people among the people already knew that someone wanted to deliberately throw dirty water.

He Wangzhou's voice became colder and colder, "You don't even know how a beggar died on the street, but you dare to go to the shop in the name of the young lady of the Marquis of Jing'an?"

The woman's face turned pale and she didn't even dare to say any words of denial.

"Someone from the government is here."

I don't know who shouted, and the woman's legs suddenly softened and she knelt on the ground, with cold sweat covering her forehead.

The common people voluntarily gave way. Jing Zhaoyin personally brought people here and greeted He Wangzhou first, "Young Master, do you really want to conduct an autopsy here?"

This is the first time an autopsy has been conducted in front of so many people.

"Someone died at the emperor's feet. Your Excellency, of course, you have to find out. He was brought by this woman. If he was poisoned with malicious intent, your Excellency will directly solve the case."

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman cried out, rolled her eyes and fainted.

Jing Zhaoyin made a gesture, and the officer put on the finger clip. With a shrill sound, the woman woke up with a start.

Even without any examination, we have come to the conclusion that this man was drowned to death, not drugged to death at all.

There is only one conclusion: the drug store has been cleared.

The woman begged so hard that her forehead was bruised.

"Sir, I was also confused for a moment. Now I know I was wrong. Please forgive me and spare my life."

"I'll do it, I'll do it all!"

"Yesterday, someone gave me money and prescriptions and asked me to come to the drug store to cause a scene today. I was most afraid of being short of money, and they gave me so generously, so I agreed without thinking so much." Jing Zhaoyin Holding his breath, he asked, "Who is the other party?"

The woman shook her head, "I don't know, but looking at that man's clothes, he seems to be from a wealthy family."

At this time, several spectators were about to leave quietly. Shu Yan was about to shout to stop, but He Wangzhou snorted coldly, and the guards of the Hou Mansion immediately captured those people.

"Sir, these people were making noise together just now. I suspect there are accomplices among these people. Why don't we take them back together for trial?"

As soon as Shu Yan finished speaking, He Wangzhou took the opportunity to answer.

"My lord, I can't be more at ease when doing things. Please bring someone to report the news before tomorrow."

This means, only half a day?
Jing Zhaoyin broke into a cold sweat on his forehead.

His official position is the most useless. He doesn't dare to offend or control the powerful people in the capital. The most important thing in ordinary times is to have good relations with the powerful people.

The dead man's matter is easier to deal with now, but I don't know who is behind the plot to punish Mrs. He, and whether I can offend him.

Seeing that the government wanted to arrest someone, the people had already run away.

After everyone dispersed, Shu Yan saw a figure standing at the back.

It's Lin Zhongxuan!

Her heart suffocated and she almost shouted "brother".

He Wangzhou was about to pull her in, but when he touched her fingertips, he realized that her fingers were cold.

He held the hand in his palm, "Are you scared? It's okay, I'm here."

Shu Yan didn't say anything, turned around and followed him into the shop.

The dead man was carried away by the officials, and it was finally quiet in front of the drug store.

Shopkeeper Xu asked the waiter to take mugwort and light it, smoke it in front of the door, wipe the door god posted in front of the door clean, and then went in with satisfaction.

"Miss, would you like to check out other shops?"

"I'm not going. Please inform the other shopkeepers and ask them to pay more attention recently."

He Wangzhou saw her looking down and thought she was scared.

After drinking a cup of hot tea, he rewarded everyone with money, and then took Shu Yan back.

The carriage drove for a while before stopping. Shu Yan raised the curtain to get out, only to realize that they had returned to the Marquis Jing'an Mansion.

"Why did you come back?"

He Wangzhou felt sorry for her and pulled her out of the carriage.

"We won't go today. We'll go to uncle's place tomorrow."

As soon as he entered the house, He Wangzhou asked the kitchen to make Shu Yan's favorite food and stew some soothing herbs in the soup.

After the soup was stewed and served, people from Jingzhao Mansion also came over.

After interrogation, it turned out that it was Liang's younger brother who caused trouble in the shop.The Liang family was a small family. After marrying the Marquis of Jing'an, the Liang family's status improved a bit, but compared to the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion, it was still a big difference.

"Since the person has been imprisoned and is a relative... Ah Si, ask someone to take care of him."

Ah Si resigned wisely, but Xi'er was surprised, "Master, they treat the young lady like this, why do they still care about her?"

Shu Yan couldn't help laughing, and He Wangzhou also became happy.

As long as the wife laughs.

He pointed to the door and urged Xi'er, "Go quickly, let Ah Si take care of you more, and then come to me to collect the reward."

When Mrs. Liang received the news, she overturned the decoction sent by the maid.

"What? How dare they report it to the official! This white-eyed wolf really wants to force me to death!" (End of Chapter)
