Medical Brocade

Chapter 183 Tough
The county magistrate of Jizhou is called Xian Lian. At first he was honest and honest, and he was able to judge right from wrong, but gradually, he became a petty official, and he liked to collect a small amount of money on weekdays. man of.

In order to let the local officials take care of the business, Qu Fengchun naturally sent many gifts to these people, and Xian Lian was one of them.If Qu Fengchun had to come forward in person, talk to Xian Lian about his feelings, and then send some money, the matter would naturally be resolved. After all, the Qu family was a place where money could be made, so of course Xian Lian would not do anything to the Qu family.As for the reason why Qu Fengchun would rather settle it privately than stab the yamen, it is conceivable that Xian Lian's asking price would not be very low. At this time, she understood a little bit, but this time, she didn't want Xian Lian to take advantage of it. to a penny.

Qu Ruowen didn't ask Qu Fengchun to follow, but asked him to stay in the pharmacy and wait for news. After all, once he showed up, people would gossip about this matter.

Above the lobby, the old man Sun's family was already kneeling there. They were already crying before they were promoted. Qu Ruowen didn't say much. , she should be sympathetic, but so indifferent.

Compared with old man Sun's sympathetic side, Ding Zhen's side is naturally much deserted. He knelt there alone, his body trembling. After all, he was also a child of a poor family. If he took his life on his back, his life would be ruined.

Qu Ruowen walked into the hall from the outer circle, stood next to Ding Zhen, and gave some comfort: "Don't worry, I'm here."

Ding Zhen nodded. For some reason, Qu Ruowen stood there, which gave him a lot of courage and concentration. Kneeling there was not as frightening and abrupt as before.

Old man Sun's family knelt on the ground and cried for a long time, Ah Zhen also knelt with him for a long time, Qu Ruowen followed him and stood for a long time, Xian Lian hadn't come out yet, I heard from Qu Fengchun that Xian Lian was waiting for someone to come to him through the back door Send some money to ask him to do something.Xian Lian must have heard that this was a case related to the Qu family, and he was confident that he could benefit from it, so he made up his mind to wait for Qu Fengchun to send someone to send the money. It is conceivable that Xian Lian was waiting behind alone, right? The average time, no matter how long they waited outside, Xian Lian waited inside was only a lot more.

Maybe there was no one to wait for, so Xian Lian slowly came out from behind.Xian Lian was dressed in a seventh-rank official suit, and after staying with Yan Weijue for so long, he naturally understood the attire of officials, big and small.Originally thought that a corrupt official like Xian Lian must have a big belly, but he is not at all. On the contrary, he is very thin, as thin as Ye Yaode.

"Wei... Wu..." Just as Qu Ruowen was sizing up Xian Lian, the wooden sticks in the hands of the officials on both sides hit the floor. Amidst a burst of shouting and beating, Xian Lian stepped into the lobby and sat down on the county magistrate's chair. Glancing across the crowd, Qu Fengchun was not in the crowd.

"Snapped!"

Xian Lian picked up the gavel and slapped it hard, and asked in a drawn-out tone, "Who...who is in the hall, why don't you kneel?"

Xian Lian saw Qu Ruowen standing alone at a glance. Although Qu Ruowen was short, it didn't affect others seeing that her legs were standing there straight instead of kneeling.

"I have met Mr. Xian." All litigants only need to bend down to salute, but not to kneel. "Minnv is the litigator of those who complain of grievances."

"Are you a litigator?" Xian Lian stared at Qu Ruowen for a long time, and cast a pitiful look at Ding Zhen who was kneeling. If this person was a litigator, he would definitely lose.

"Exactly." Qu Ruo replied, she understood what Xian Lian was thinking, all litigators were eloquent scholars with folding fans in their hands, how could it be a little girl carrying such a box.

"Who is beating the drum to complain? What kind of grievance?" Xian Lian didn't intend to find out what kind of litigator the other party should find, so he got down to business first, his voice dragged on, and his beard twitched as he spoke. .

"Big... man, little... Ding Zhen, someone is suing your lord..."

"What!" Xian Lian slapped the gavel and roared.

"No, no, I'm suing the little one who took the wrong medicine and killed the adult... No, no, he killed someone. The little one is really innocent. I'm here to appeal for grievances. Please... the big... people to investigate clearly." Ding Zhen never went to the Internet. After passing through the court, when he saw Xian Lian, he didn't even say a word, and almost made Xian Lian so angry that he wanted to take him directly, and the case didn't need to be tried.

Before letting Ding Zhen come here, Qu Ruowen had already thought up his words, so he asked Ah Zhen to speak according to her order, but he didn't know that a simple sentence forced him to say it like this, but it was enough to make Xian Lian jump. It's not easy. Throughout the ages, who was so scared to death that he could sue the county magistrate in public, Qu Ruowen couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart.

"My lord, it's not like this. The Qu's pharmacy caught the wrong medicine and killed the woman's eldest son. The woman is wronged—" The old woman suddenly began to cry, her voice seemed to be able to penetrate the entire yamen, making Qu Ruo ask frowned.

Xian Lian had a displeased look on his face. If there were no onlookers, he would have plugged his ears.

"My lord, you have to be the master for the women. The husband of the women is wronged. If he leaves like this, how can the women live? If they don't bully them, who else will decide for the women." Then, Sun Yan's wife, Guo Shi, sobbed in a soft voice, not at all as vigorous as Sun Yan's mother, but it was her weeping that made her cry. People look sideways.

Sun Yan's wife is quite pretty, presumably she has not been married for a few years, she is only about [-] years old, her face is thin and fair, and now she is suffering so much, so delicate and touching, one can't help feeling a little bit of pity Heart.

"Don't worry, I'll see clearly. I've heard a little bit about the matter between you two. It's really wrong to catch the wrong medicine and kill someone!" After hearing this, Xian Lian shook his head and sighed, as if Complaining for Sun Yan, and even more for Sun Jia, he immediately reprimanded Ding Zhen, and the situation took a turn for the worse.

"My lord is discerning, my lord is discerning." Old man Sun immediately praised him and kowtowed to Xian Lian.

"My lord, I didn't take the wrong medicine, really." When Ding Zhen heard that he was convicted, he panicked, argued immediately, and then wanted to kowtow to Xian Lian.

Qu Ruowen raised a hand and pressed it on his shoulder to make him not panic.

"My lord, my client denies that he seized the wrong medicine, but the other party insists that it is my client's responsibility. It is not a trivial matter to make a fuss about the crime of murder. Therefore, my client came to beat the drums and complain, hoping that Mr. Xian can solve the mystery." , to return my client’s innocence. Taking a step back, if my client is really guilty and it’s too late to hide, how could he go to the Yamen to complain and pour dirty water on himself for no reason?” As Ding Zhen’s litigator, Qu Ruo asked immediately Open your mouth and start to argue for him.

"This..." Presumably Xian Lian also had such doubts, so he didn't make a judgment immediately this time.

"My lord, it's clear that the people in the Qu's drugstore have a guilty conscience, so they acted in such a play. They must have a ghost in their hearts." Seeing Xian Lian's wavering, Sun Biao wanted to pull back.

"My lord Xian also heard that the family of the deceased insisted that the people from the Qu family drug store took the wrong medicine and killed the deceased. This matter is justified by the public, and it is reasonable by the mother-in-law. It is better to let the autopsy find out the truth. The cause of death is tenable." Qu Ruowen was thinking about how to lead the conversation to the autopsy, and now there were vines for her to climb.

"Autopsy?" Xian Lian's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard it. He cleared his throat, and asked Old Man Sun and the others, "Have you agreed to the autopsy?"

"Of course." Old man Sun thought that Xian Lian was always on their side, so he, the head of the family, nodded his head immediately.

"Since you all want to do an autopsy, let's do the autopsy first, come here, and get Chuck." Xian Lian gave a pat on the gavel and ordered, "Leave the body, and after the autopsy tonight, you will There will be a result, you guys will come back to see it tomorrow, let’s put..."

When Xian Lian said this, he hesitated for a moment. Logically speaking, the suspected person should be temporarily imprisoned in a prison, but the suspected person sued others. He was wronged. This has obviously become two cases, one is manslaughter and the other is false accusation.

"Come here, put Ding Zhen in prison, and retrial tomorrow." Xian Lian finally put the most suspected Ding Zhen in prison temporarily.

"My lord, the young one is really wronged, my lord..." Seeing that he wouldn't move Xian Lian, Ding Zhen immediately turned to Qu Ruowen, "Miss San, the young one doesn't want to go into the cell, once he enters there, the young one won't be able to get out. "

It was expected that Ding Zhen would be imprisoned, but Qu Ruowen had not told him before, if he had said so, then Ding Zhen would definitely not come, and it is very likely that he would run away. more serious and difficult.

"Ah Zhen, since I can let you come, I can let you go." When Qu Ruowen spoke, there was a calm and calm look, as if no matter how difficult things were, they could be easily solved. Ding Zhen Although she wanted to believe her, it was a matter of life and death after all, so he still didn't want to go to jail, so she could only persuade her again, "Now I just doubt you, as long as you haven't done it, I will naturally have a way to prove your innocence, and you don't want to It must have been misunderstood as a murderer."

Qu Ruowen uttered harsh words, Ding Zhen stood there in shock, quite frightened.

As soon as Xian Lian spoke, two yamen servants came up and wanted to take people. Ding Zhen resisted, but at the same time listened to Qu Ruowen's words, he was very contradictory and hesitant. At such a stall, people have already been dragged down.

"Miss San, you must save the little one." Ding Zhen was afraid that Qu Ruowen would forget him if he turned around. From ancient times to the present, there is no lady who would plead for mercy for a servant who has only met once.

Qu Ruowen couldn't say anything, but nodded firmly.

"Leave the hall!" After Ding Zhen was taken down, Xian Lian was about to end today's interrogation.
