Magistrate Zheng sat in the study for a long time. Mrs. Zhao was really worried and brought her maid to deliver sweet soup.

"Master, it's already late at night, it's better to go back and rest early."

Magistrate Zheng kept patting himself on the head, "With so many things going on, I have to sleep no matter how you ask me to rest."

Zhao said, "What happened? Who is that person who just came?"

As a stay-at-home woman, she shouldn't be involved in these matters, but seeing her husband in such pain, she really couldn't let go and didn't know if she could help.

Magistrate Zheng now also needs someone to give advice, "The man just now is from the Zhang family, known as Mr. Weng. He has been working with Second Young Master Zhang and is very relied upon by Second Young Master Zhang. What he means is Second Young Master Zhang's." mean."

Mrs. Zhao asked the maid to go out, and then asked, "I wonder why Mr. Weng came here so late at night?"

"Of course it was the Nine Needles Hall that killed people. I thought this case was easy to decide. We will know what is right and what is wrong after they do an autopsy. If it was the Nine Needles Hall that killed people, they would naturally be found guilty, but if If the accuser’s family made a false accusation, then they should be punished and Jiuzhen Hall should be cleared.”

"But now it seems that this matter is not that simple. I have almost understood it. I am afraid that this matter has something to do with the Zhang family. It seems that Second Young Master Zhang has taken a liking to the girl from the Ye family and wants to get it. The Ye family refuses to comply.”

"Maybe he wanted to use this method to make the Ye family compromise and get the person. Mr. Weng just came over and told me that regardless of the autopsy results, Jiuzhentang is guilty."

He clapped his hands and looked embarrassed, "Tell me, what should I do?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao became anxious. The Zhang family is not easy to mess with.

"Master, the Zhang family is extremely powerful. There is no one we can afford to offend. What's more, the second young master is the treasure of the Zhang family. Who dares to go against him? I'm afraid the Ye family will suffer some injustice from this matter."

Magistrate Zheng sighed, "That's the problem. The Ye family is not easy to mess with. The thieves in Xiema Village are so ruthless. In the end, they fell into the hands of the Ye family. There was another good student in their family. However, Bai Shen has already made an exception and went to a private school, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future."

"The Ye family has long said that if the case is unfairly decided, they will sue. If this matter gets too big, I won't be able to get it either. Tell me, why am I not in trouble?"

Mrs. Zhao had a headache hearing this, "Master, you are really suffering."

"I'm so miserable. I wish I could resign and go back to my hometown right now, so I don't have to worry about this shit."

Before he could figure it out, the servant responded, "Sir, the prefect sent someone to deliver a letter. It just arrived."

Magistrate Zheng suddenly became more energetic. Could it be that the prefect knew about this and gave him an idea?

"Send it over quickly."

After seeing it, he became completely bitter.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?"

Mrs. Zhao did not dare to read the letter in private, so she had to ask, "Sir, can you transfer this case to the government office?"

Magistrate Zheng lowered his head, looking lifeless.

"Only unsolved cases can be submitted to superiors. The evidence in this case has not been completely collected. After the autopsy, the evidence will naturally be available. Where are the unsolved cases? If I hand it over like this, I am afraid that my official position will not be guaranteed."

He read the letter again, "The prefect said that the case must be tried carefully and fairly. Ye Xiangxiang is treating the prefect's mother. If he is not guilty, let me release him as soon as possible."

He was almost crying. One or two of them came to force him. They were trying to force him to death.

He obviously didn't do anything, so why are they all trying to make things difficult for him?

Zhao had no idea at all. If the prefect wanted to protect the Ye family, he would not dare to favor the plaintiff at will.

"Master, I really can't think of a way. I still need to put more effort into it."

Magistrate Zheng sighed, "Go back to sleep first and leave me alone." Just let me fend for myself!

The next day for the autopsy, Mr. Weng came over. According to the rules, irrelevant personnel were not allowed to be present.

But he held the Zhang family's sign and did not say anything to force him. Magistrate Zheng himself was short of breath and did not dare to offend him at will.

Magistrate Zheng frowned as the two men performed an autopsy.

The body was all black, obviously poisoned.

There is nothing wrong with Jiuzhentang's prescriptions. All poisonous drugs must be reported to the government, and the quantities are sufficient, which means that Jiuzhentang did not use poison.

At this time, it was related to the Zhang family. He only needed to think about it for a moment to know what was going on.

But how can someone with such obvious poison blatantly favor the accuser?

It was obviously winter, but he was sweating all over his forehead, and his clothes were almost wet.

Mr. Weng's expression did not change and he smiled, "The magistrate is busy with official duties, so I won't bother you. I will come to the court to listen to the case the day after tomorrow."

In one sentence, the time for the trial was arranged for him.

Magistrate Zheng was angry but couldn't express it, so he had no choice but to lightly nod his head and set the trial date for the day after tomorrow.

After the autopsy was completed, Magistrate Zheng asked, "How was it?"

Both of them had the same idea, "Sir, this person died of poison, and it was not an ordinary poison."

Magistrate Zheng asked, "Is it related to the prescription of Jiuzhentang?"

Wuzuo shook his head, "There is no connection. From this point of view, Jiuzhentang should be unjust."

The last thing Magistrate Zheng wanted to hear was this answer. He really hoped that Jiuzhentang would be guilty, so that he wouldn't have to embarrass himself.

If you kill someone, you must be punished, and the Ye family can't do anything even if they sue.

Even if the prefect is protecting Ye Xiangxiang, if she kills someone, the prefect will know the seriousness and will not act recklessly.

That way it would be easier for him to do business.

But now, how can we fool this result?

Weng Yuan left the county government and returned directly to Zhang Mansion.

"Young Master, that person is poisoned. If you try to manipulate the body, you won't be able to cover it up. We have to call in someone."

Zhang Yuesheng said, "What a fool. He couldn't do anything cleanly and left such a clue."

He rubbed his brows and said, "I've already written a letter and asked someone to deliver it. It's too late."

Weng Yuan said, "It's just a trivial matter, young master, don't worry about it. That man named Zheng is a smart man, and it took a lot of effort to get to this point. I don't think he will destroy his future. As long as he does this well, If the young master says a few nice words in front of the uncle, he will take the initiative to do things for the young master in the future."

Zhang Yuesheng smiled and said, "What's the big deal? My uncle loves me the most."

That night, someone found out everything about what happened in the county government and Zhang Mansion. Fei Ge sent a letter to report the murder case in Wushan County in detail.

After Meng Chang got the news, how could he dare to hide the matter? Moreover, the Zhang family was really bullying others. Even if it was not for the Ye family, they still had to deal with these evildoers.

The night was dark, and the wandering birds were flying south, delivering messages between Dayan and Zhao.
