Ye Hongchang pulled Ye Xiangxiang to sit next to her. His hands were cold when he touched hers, and he felt heartbroken.

"This is really a torture. Xiangxiang, can you hold on?"

Ye Xiangxiang nodded, "Dad, I'm not afraid. The important thing is to find out the truth. I have read the prescription and there is nothing wrong with it. As long as the old lady has not taken other medicines, our medicine cannot poison her."

Of course Ye Hongchang firmly believes in this. This girl is doing things safely. Tongshuntang has been keeping an eye on Jiuzhentang. She cannot be careless at this time.

Ye Hongchang said, "I will go to Magistrate Zheng soon. This case must be tried fairly and impartially. You have to continue to suffer in prison. I bought you a quilt and food, and the government officials have also taken care of it."

Ye Xiangxiang said, "Dad, the body must be taken care of by the Yamen, and an autopsy must be carried out. In addition, we must send a letter to Fucheng. Our letter will not reach the hands of the prefect, so we can only disturb my elder brother from studying."

"I will give Mrs. Shen an acupuncture at the end of the month. It won't be long. Brother should know what to do when he finds out."

If Tongshuntang was causing trouble and the Zhang family was behind them, then she would have to find a backer.

She didn't know if Magistrate Shen was willing to be this backer, but now she couldn't find anyone else.

Ye Hongchang understood what she meant and nodded in agreement.

Ye Xiangxiang added, "Dad, go see Dr. Zhou and the others again and reassure them. They have to decide what is right and wrong. Don't be afraid of things you haven't done, and don't admit it."

She was afraid that others would not be able to withstand the situation and would be beaten by the Yamen, which would be troublesome.

Ye Hongchang said, "Don't worry, I will go see them, prepare some supplies for them, and take care of the government officials."

There was not much time, so Ye Xiangxiang could only talk about the important things, and soon the Yamen came to urge him.

She returned to the cell and the officer looked at the pile of things in front of her.

Ye Xiangxiang said, "My father can fight ten by himself. After you collect the money, do what you need to do, otherwise..."

The yamen servant turned around and left.

Ye Xiangxiang distributed some of the food to other people in the cell, "Eat it. It was tested when it was brought in. It is not poisonous."

The others, who had been locked up for a long time, swallowed their saliva after having never seen such delicious food.

"Girl, do you really want to feed me?"

Ye Xiangxiang smiled slightly, "I can't eat so much. I don't know how long I will stay here. I would like to ask my sisters to take care of me."

After hearing this, several people stuffed pastries into their mouths.

Ye Xiangxiang took a piece of cake to eat and covered himself with the clean quilt, finally feeling warmer.

She felt uneasy. If the Zhang family really wanted to be protected by high-ranking officials in the capital as Zhang Erxi said, this case would be really troublesome.

Will Magistrate Zheng find out the truth and give them justice, or will he cover up the facts to please the Zhang family?

Ye Xiangxiang was not sure, and he didn't even know how Magistrate Shen would respond to her.

Until now, we can only take one step at a time.

Ye Hongchang ate a bowl of noodles casually on the roadside and immediately went to find Magistrate Zheng.

It is not easy for ordinary people to see the county magistrate.

And he can find the king's chief clerk, and soon he will meet the person.

Chief Wang frowned, "Ye Zhuangshi, what's the matter with you?"

Last time there was an unpleasant commotion over the duck house, so they took care of everything the Ye family needed to do.

It didn't last long before things happened again.

Magistrate Zheng was so anxious that he could not come out to see him at this time. Ye Hongchang said, "I don't have anything else to do. I just want to ask the magistrate how he wants to hear the case. My daughter is still in jail."

In the middle of winter, Master Wang was actually sweating on his forehead.

"The magistrate will naturally try the case impartially, don't worry."

Ye Hongchang nodded, "As long as it is a fair trial, I will keep an eye on this case. The body must be taken care of by the Yamen. Before the autopsy, if someone has tampered with the body, I will definitely file a lawsuit, even in Beijing." It’s okay.”

Mr. Wang wiped his sweat and said, "Ye Zhuangshi, if you complain too much, you will be punished."

The law stipulates that anyone who exceeds the appeal, regardless of the facts, must be flogged forty times.

Ye Hongchang snorted coldly, "A seven-foot body can't withstand dozens of boards? It's our fault, so we must admit it, but if Magistrate Zheng wants to be partial, he wants to be charged without clarifying the case. First think about whether you still want this official position."

Before Chief Wang could speak, Ye Hongchang turned around and left, "Goodbye."

Chief Wang sighed and hurried back.

"Sir, the person has been sent away."

Magistrate Zheng sat down on the chair and said, "They said this year will be peaceful. Why does something happen at the end of the year? Everything is going well, so why is there a murder case?"

Director Wang said, "Sir, now is not the time to sigh. This case must be tried carefully."

Magistrate Zheng spread his hands, "How do you say trial? Everyone is already dead. Jiuzhentang will definitely be sued. If it were an ordinary person, it would be closed if it was closed. But it's the Ye family again. Every time they get involved There’s nothing good about home.”

He originally wanted to forget about the duck house incident last time, but his brother-in-law refused to let him go.

Fortunately, in the end, people used the reward from Prince Jin to win the land.

This time it seems that this incident was just a murder caused by improper prescription of medicine by a medical clinic. It is not known what happened behind it.

The king's secretary added, "Sir, we need to investigate carefully."

Magistrate Zheng sighed, "Check, did I say not to check? Let someone check for me now."

Just as Master Wang was about to leave, Magistrate Zheng said again, "The relevant people will be taken into custody first. We cannot act rashly on this matter. We will wait for two days before talking about it."

"Yes." Master Wang said, "Sir, no matter what, the case must have a result. What Ye Hongchang means is that if the Ye family cannot be convinced, they will have to sue."

If you file a lawsuit, it will be very serious.

Magistrate Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, okay, let's find out for him. I really don't know which god I've offended. I really can't live a peaceful life for a day."

On the one hand, he was afraid that the Ye family would cause trouble, and on the other hand, he was afraid that someone might do something behind his back.

It would be fine if this case was really a case of improper medical treatment. If the Ye family was at fault, they wouldn't be able to say anything.

But if someone wants to deal with the Ye family and just sue for human lives, then he has to consider whether he can afford to offend the person behind it.

After two days, there was no movement, only the Ye family came to urge them.

Magistrate Zheng changed his mind and thought, maybe this is really just a life-threatening lawsuit caused by improper medical treatment.

In this case, there is nothing to worry about. As long as he handles the matter impartially, he will be right even if the Ye family sues.

Ye Xiangxiang was counting the days in prison. The next day was the day when Mrs. Shen would get an acupuncture.

If she didn't see her going, even if the eldest brother couldn't send the news to the magistrate, the Shen family would still send someone to inquire about the news.

If they knew about this, I don't know how the Shen family would react. (End of chapter)
