Chapter 45

Magistrate Xie also became interested, and his eyes signaled him to continue talking.

Lin Sushan's big sleeves shook and he raised his hands in respect.

"The third brother, Xiaguan, has been ignorant and incompetent since he was a child. He is addicted to pleasure. He lives in poverty and has no ambition to make progress. Although Xiaguan holds an official position, he has a meager salary and is unable to help him. Fortunately, the second brother often lends a helping hand, so he can go out and enjoy the fireworks. In the land of Willow Alley, you can have fun all day long!”

"A month ago, he failed in the competition for the oiran at the Qunfang Pavilion. Then he went to his second brother and asked for money. The second brother was angry that he refused to fight and sent him out. He then poisoned his second brother and his wife with hatred!"

"This scene happened to be seen by the lower official. When the third brother saw that the matter was exposed, he begged the lower official. The brotherly love was deep. The lower official was also in a dilemma. He felt soft-hearted and hid it for him!"

"This official is guilty! I hope you will be punished!"

After Lin Sushan expressed his love, he fell to his knees, bursting into tears and filled with regret.

Lin Laosan's eyes widened and he didn't come back to his senses for a while.

Magistrate Xie looked at the two people in the courtroom, frowned and stroked his beard.

"The two of you insist on different opinions, which really makes things difficult for me. Is there any evidence that can prove that what you say is true?"

Lin Laosan knelt down in the hall, his fat body was sweating profusely, he was trembling and pointed at Lin Sushan and said resentfully.

"My second brother sent me out that day, but it was not the first time that my second brother had done this. How could I take it to heart? I just entered the house again to beg my second brother for some money. I didn't expect to see you poisonous. Kill the second brother and his wife!"

After Lin Laosan finished speaking, he hurried to the lobby table and spoke in panic to Magistrate Xie who was sitting there.

"Your Excellency, you are aware! The common people were also blinded by lard for a moment! They were lured by the wealth he promised! That's why they helped him hide this matter! The ordinary people know their mistake! Please be aware of it!!"

After saying that, Mr. Lin shivered and huddled up.

Magistrate Xie looked solemn, and looked at each other with the tall judge. The judge secretly nuzzled at him, gesturing to Lin Susu outside the courtroom. Magistrate Xie reacted and asked Lin Susu to come to the court.

When Lin Laosan saw Lin Susu come in, he first shrank subconsciously, and then squirmed towards her kneeling position as if seeking warmth.

Lin Sushan glanced towards the two of them, his eyes looking cold for a moment.

Gavel shot!
Magistrate Xie's majestic voice sounded.

"Lin Susu, as the reporter, do you have any support or refutation for the arguments of the two murder suspects?"

Lin Susu knelt straight and spoke slowly.

"Sir, please send a message to the widow who conducted the autopsy on that day to come to the court. If the daughter of the people has anything to say, she needs to ask him."

Hearing this, Magistrate Xie sent another summons to the court.

He was still the same skinny old man as before. He knelt down in the hall, and after prostrating, he looked as if he was waiting for questions.

Lin Susu asked, "The autopsy result of the civilian girl Gaotang was that she was poisoned. Dare I ask a passerby (Note 1) if she knows what kind of poison she was poisoned with?"

Hearing this, the old man bowed respectfully to the magistrate in the hall, and then said, "Sir, the poison in the two corpses is not poison that ordinary people can come into contact with. This villain has been in the industry for more than fifty years, and only in the Gu Master's fight I’ve seen it on the dead!”

Gu masters are a mysterious and evil group. Everyone in the world knows about their existence, but they don't dare to inquire more about them.

The highest palace revered by all Gu masters is the Jiang clan, known as the Gu sect.

Being able to use poison to harm people, the murderer is probably not an ordinary person.

Magistrate Xie's eyes swept over the quail-like Lin Laosan, then moved to the mournful Lin Sushan, and he pondered for a long time.

Seeing that the case was at a deadlock, Lin Susu spoke.

"Sir, the daughter of the people identified the great uncle Lin Sushan! And the daughter of the people has evidence!"

Magistrate Xie raised his eyebrows in surprise.Lin Laosan fell into the ecstasy of being about to be redressed!
Lin Sushan was extremely angry and turned to look at Lin Susu with some disappointment, "Uncle and nephew, I ask myself, I care about you very much, why do you want to harm me!?"

Lin Susu was not disturbed at all and continued to explain to Magistrate Xie.

"The reason why the murderer was identified as Lin Sushan was because the girl was fortunate enough to be pointed out by a Gu Master and learned that the poison Gaotang had been exposed to would show red traces once it was immersed in a special potion. "

After finishing his words, Lin Sushan's expression changed slightly and he glanced at her suspiciously.

Lin Susu took out a bottle of colorless and odorless potion purchased from the system and presented it with both hands.

"The civilian girl has already tried it on Lin Sushan's hands, and there are indeed traces!"

Everyone's strange eyes were focused on Lin Sushan. He straightened his spine calmly, as if he was not afraid of the shadow.

Secretly, he was recollecting it over and over again, and never remembered when Lin Susu tried it on his hand?

At this time, Lin Susu interrupted his meditation.

"Uncle, do you dare to try it in front of an adult?"

Her eyes were playful and provocative, and the corners of her lips were raised, as if she was sure that Lin Sushan didn't dare to test it!
Lin Sushan sneered, "Why bother trying to incriminate me? How do I know if your potion has been tampered with? It was specially used to target me!"

Lin Susu seemed to have expected that he would say this, so she immediately asked Magistrate Xie for advice.

"To show justice, I would like to ask you to find a few more people to soak this potion together!"

Magistrate Xie also thought it was feasible and ordered someone to bring a basin of water. Lin Susu poured the potion into the basin to dilute it in front of everyone.

Immediately, Lin Susu herself, Lin Laosan, and several government officials hired by Magistrate Xie washed their hands in the water one after another.

Several people looked at Lin Sushan at the same time. Lin Sushan slowly shook his sleeves and put his hand into the water with an expressionless face.

After touching about half of the incense stick, Lin Laosan and Lin Sushan's fingertips were stained with red marks.

Lin Laosan screamed in horror, almost going crazy, "It's impossible, impossible!! I didn't touch the poison pill at all!! Impossible!!"

Lin Sushan's backhand slapped him so hard that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. He lay on the ground for a long time without regaining consciousness.

By the time he realized what he had said, it was already too late.

Lin Laosan grabbed his hair in extreme panic. After a while, Lin Laosan pointed at Lin Sushan with blood-red eyes and said with a dying struggle, "My eldest brother killed him, I just helped him get the medicine! It's none of my business! It's none of my business." !”

He covered his head in horror, his pupils were dilated, and he was mumbling over and over again.

Seeing this, Lin Susu scoffed, her eyes moved to Lin Sushan's face, she raised her hands high, her fingertips were also bright red.

"Uncle, do you have anything else to say?"

Now, Lin Sushan didn't know that she was cheating!

What Lin Susu exchanged in the system was just a bottle of delayed dye.

If Lin Laosan had been more rational, he would have noticed that the hands of several people who had been soaked in water had colors appearing one after another.

She was clearly targeting Lin Sushan, but in fact she was just a drunkard who didn't care about the wine, but her third uncle!

Only with Lin Laosan as the fulcrum can we move the huge stone of Lin Sushan.
