Chapter 102 Jin's guilty plea
This is making the decision for Xue Dingyuan.
The people refused to leave. Even if Xue Dingyuan repeatedly told them to go to Baicaotang for treatment, these people refused to leave. They all gathered in front of the yamen gate to wait for news.
The government officials came back one after another, and the news they brought back was the same: "All the family members of the deceased have fled, and it is unknown where they went."
Liang Shiru announced on the spot: "Baicaotang has been cleared of suspicion. Once the deceased's family is found, they can report it to the authorities immediately. The crime of framing will not be taken lightly!"
The people knelt down and shouted loudly to the sky.
Xue Dingyuan was released and he looked at Su Yunnuan.
Su Yunnuan said with a smile: "Uncle Xue, please go back quickly. There are many patients in Baicaotang, and one doctor can't handle them all. There is no need to worry about me, you have already made up your mind."
Xue Dingyuan nodded in agreement and left the Yamen surrounded by the people.
Liang Shiru ascended the throne and brought the Jin family.
As soon as Mrs. Jin saw Su Yunnuan sitting on the chair, she knew it was over. When she knelt on the ground and shivered, she trembled with fright when the alarm sounded.
"Jin! You sued Su Yunnuan for improperly administering medicine and killing Zhao Changlin. Do you know the results of the autopsy?" Liang Shiru asked.
Jin nodded, then shook his head desperately: "I don't know, I don't know."
"If you don't know, it's okay. Come and bring the funeral to the court!" Liang Shiru ordered.
Wu Zuo went to the lobby, respectfully bowed to Liang Shiru, and said word by word: "The autopsy was performed six days ago. Zhao Changlin did not have any herbs in his stomach. The time of death was not consistent with what the plaintiff said. It was two days earlier. The cause of death was
He was strangled by a rope and suffocated to death instead of hanging himself..."
Every time Wu Zuo said something, Jin's face became paler. Before Wu Zuo could finish speaking, Jin's face was as pale as paper and his eyes were dull.
The gavel sounded again.
Jin reflexively knelt on the ground, his lips trembling and unable to speak a single word.
"I have never allowed torture to extract confessions, but there are always cunning and ignorant women who violate the king's laws without knowing it! Someone is coming! Torture!" Liang Shiru obviously did not want to waste any more time. Everyone understood what was going on, but
We must have a confession from the Jin family. How can we deal with such unscrupulous people without punishment?
There was a crashing sound, and the executioner went to the lobby with the instruments of torture. Two government officials grabbed Jin's hands and wanted to torture her.
Jin suddenly laughed loudly: "My son is dead, my son is dead! I killed Zhao Changlin. He didn't believe that Yun Niang's medicine could cure the disease, so he asked me to test the medicine. He didn't care whether I lived or died. If I didn't want to die, he would have to
die!"
Liang Shiru stopped the executioner.
Jin shook off the officer and pointed at Su Yunnuan: "Is it you? You asked Zhao Changlin to kill everyone. You dare not go out. Everyone is dead, so you can do whatever you want.
Bar?"
"I hate you! It's you officials who are so unscrupulous! It's the common people like us who have to rely on cannibalism to survive! I... Uh-huh." Jin's mouth was blocked, and it was useless to struggle desperately.
Su Yunnuan stood up and walked to Jin. Her voice was low and her words were clear: "Your son is dead. Zhao Changlin didn't want him to be eaten by the people in the village, so he wanted to divert the trouble to the east and use the people in my mansion to kill the villagers."
, worried that we were not ruthless enough and gave these people poisonous wine first."
Jin's eyes widened and she looked at Su Yunnuan in disbelief.
Su Yunnuan looked at Jin: "That night, some of the people at my door had fallen to the ground. Zhao Changlin took the living people and the dead people to the ancestral hall to cook and eat them, and then added them to the pot.
The poison completely killed all the villagers and after returning home, they were already too ill to move. But you took my medicine and gained strength. After killing Zhao Changlin, you went to my door to get the medicine under his banner, right?"
"You! How do you know!" Jin blurted out.
Su Yunnuan raised the corners of her lips faintly: "Because there was still poison left in the bowl in your kitchen, your son was buried in your backyard, and all the people in the ancestral hall died of poisoning. The only person who died that night was Zhao Changlin
He wasn't poisoned, he was strangled. Who else could strangle him besides you?"
"If I don't kill him, I will die." Jin didn't care anymore and looked at the torture tools: "There is no need to torture me. I have already lived enough. What hope do I have for this day?"
Liang Shiru ordered Mr. Jin to go to the prison, wait until he wrote a confession, and report it to the police. He would pay for his life with his life. Qiu Hou Wenzhan would not be able to escape.
"Thank you, sir, for clearing the daughter of the common people. Can the daughter of the common people go home?" Su Yunnuan asked.
Liang Shiru nodded, saw Su Yunnuan turned around and walked out, and said, "Miss Su, will the medicine for this disease still be sent to Qingniu County?"
Su Yunnuan turned around, lowered her head and said, "Yes, you can protect us, why don't we treat illnesses and save people."
Liang Shiru was a little ashamed: "Here, take Miss Su back to Yugu Village."
"Sir." Su Yunnuan said quickly: "I still want to go to Baicao Hall, so I won't bother you."
Now that I'm here, I have to meet Shopkeeper Xue and start the business.
There are two brothers in the Xue family. The younger brother Xue Dingyuan learned medical skills carefully, and the older brother Xue Dingshan inherited his father's business and became the shopkeeper of Dengxian Restaurant.
Thanks to Xue Dingshan, the Xue family, who came from a well-off family, were able to have enough food and clothing in this troubled world.
As for the owner of Dengxian Restaurant, Su Yunnuan could not find out specific information. She only knew that the business of this restaurant was very arrogant.
In such troubled times, there are Dengxian restaurants in almost all major cities and counties. How much confidence must be behind this! Not to mention that there is no shortage of food, just the raw materials and ingredients for various dishes. How much is consumed every day?
When Su Yunnuan came to Dengxian Restaurant, the young waiter saw her and came over to greet her: "Miss Su, please sit here first. I'll go talk to the shopkeeper."
"I'm tired." Su Yunnuan sat on the seat near the window and looked at the people on the street.
The sun is bright, the people are in ragged clothes, and they are all skinny and have blank eyes after surviving the cold winter. This feels really bad. Su Yunnuan even wonders, if there are grains, will these people not be able to help themselves to satisfy their hunger?
Spring is originally the season for sowing. Only by cultivating in this spring can we avoid repeating the disaster of last winter.
"Miss Su." Xue Dingshan came over with a smile: "Is everything okay?"
Su Yunnuan nodded: "Come here to thank shopkeeper Xue for your help, and I also want to meet my boss."
Xue Dingshan poured tea for Su Yunnuan: "Don't worry, my boss went to Yonggu County first. We are a place with details. We won't come so early. It will take three or two days anyway."
"That's fine, I'll use this time to prepare." Su Yunnuan didn't stay long and went out, intending to go to Baicao Hall to have a look before going home.
The entrance of Baicaotang was crowded, and Qi Xuan standing next to it was particularly eye-catching.
"I'll take you back." Qi Xuan said.
Su Yunnuan asked: "Is there something going on at home?"
"It's okay, let's go." Qi Xuan turned around and walked in front. Su Yunnuan didn't believe it. If nothing happened, even if Qi Xuan came to pick her up, he would at least have to take Yu Bao with him.
On the way back, both of them were silent. Seeing that they were about to arrive at Yugu Village, Qi Xuan stopped and said, "Su Yunnuan, there is a family in the village, brought back by Pan Yulong."
