Rampant prostitute, evil king Laiding's little medical concubine

Chapter 88
"Hey, that's not... Oops!"

As soon as Xia He opened his mouth, he was immediately pushed by the shopkeeper Xu with quick eyesight and quick hands. He used his sharp elbow instead of other places, which made Xia He scream out in pain!
"Who is so unruly down here, making loud noises in the hall!"

Mr. Lu swept across the people waiting at the case table, and sternly reprimanded him. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head and said respectfully to the people behind him: "Your Majesty, please take a seat. It is a great honor to have His Majesty come to examine the case today."

Lord Lu was about to give up the chief seat in front of the case table to someone who came, only to hear him reply in a low, hoarse magnetic voice: "No, my king sits here. Lord Lu just does things according to the regulations, and this king just watches. Don't say anything."

The black figure flashed out from behind Mr. Lu, and sat straight on the grand teacher's chair beside him, the silk fan was still in his hand, and he didn't see him open it, just closed it in his hand and played with it over and over again.

Such a familiar voice made Mu Yueyin get goosebumps after hearing it. She never expected Xiao Yi to appear here. Could it be that she came to say hello to Master Lu in advance for the matter of Baichuntang?
But just now that he said nothing, it didn't mean that Xiao Yi would defend her at all.

Mu Yueyin didn't think about the things she couldn't understand for the time being, and Master Lu was slapping the gavel and started to ask questions. Mu Yueyin kept her eyes fixed on Master Lu's words and deeds without any deviation in her eyes.

I don't know if it's because of shame or pretending to be calm, Xia He sees that her young lady doesn't respond when she sees the Seventh Prince, so how can she know how she feels in her heart at this moment, it's a mixed bag of emotions.

"The people who come here report their names, why did the dispute arise, and what demands do they have?"

Mr. Lu is sensible, even though he has already got the case written by the official, he still gives the parties a chance to defend themselves.

Aunt Lai naturally rushed to say something, but she didn't dare to say more, she honestly reported her real name, and this time because her girl died after taking Baichuntang's medicine, she didn't dare to ask for life for life, instead she mentioned To require heavy compensation.

Mu Yueyin listened to Aunt Lai's words without moving, and it turned out that it was only a money dispute in the end.

Of course, from the perspective of money alone, Mu Yueyin is not afraid, she is only worried about the reputation of Baichuntang, and the loss of money is a small matter.

"The servant's surname is Mu, and she is the doctor of Baichuntang."

Mu Yueyin only said a simple sentence, and felt that she had nothing to say.

But Master Lu felt that this girl was defiant and contemptuous of the government.

"You girl is so famous, why can you be the doctor of Baichun Hall? It's so simple, do you want to get away with it?"

Before Mu Yueyin could answer, a voice sounded slowly: "Lord Lu, hurry up and ask about the case, everyone is here, so it doesn't matter what their name is."

I just want to faint, who said just now that I just watched and said nothing, this is just the beginning, okay?

The Seventh Prince really lives up to his reputation, he has power, and he is very willful...

Master Lu didn't dare to think too much about it, he just nodded in agreement with a blushing face, immediately skipped several questions, directly cut to the point, and called the official messenger and Wu Zuo to come forward and explain the case in detail.

Wu Zuo presented the autopsy report of the deceased girl and the medicinal materials confiscated by Baichuntang to the case table.

After Master Lu quickly finished flipping through, he handed it to Xiao Yi to let him look over them one by one.

Without letting go of the silk fan, Xiao Yi pointed to Hou An who was standing behind him. Hou An immediately took the file presented by Mr. Lu and checked it.

Even though he scanned through the dense case reports at a glance, Hou An picked the most important one, and then whispered a few words in Xiao Yi's ear.

Xiao Yi's deep eyes had been focused on the person below. Since she entered the door, she had taken off the square scarf covering her face, revealing a clean and white face. It seemed that she had lost a little weight. Du's fleshy face had turned into a thin one, as if a palm could completely cover it.

When he saw those bright eyes, Xiao Yi withdrew his thoughts. Really, what was he thinking just now...

It seems that I have never seen Mu Yueyin so calm and composed, even after being brought to the government office, she still has such a high and indifferent expression, hum, let's see how you get away in a while.

"Miss Mu, what else do you have to say? The evidence is conclusive and should be severely punished!"

Master Lu slapped the gavel heavily on the desk, scaring everyone, including Xiao Yi who was sitting by the side unprepared.

Xiao Yi frowned when he was startled by the hasty sound of the gavel, his face was full of displeasure.

"Ok?"

Raising his tone, he glanced at Master Lu, Xiao Yi hit the silk fan in his hand on the armrest of the Grand Master's chair one after another, making a rattling sound.

"The little one is reckless, reckless..."

Lord Lu quickly wrapped his arms around the gavel, fearing that it would frighten the Seventh Prince by making a strong sound again.

Mu Yueyin looked at everything that happened in front of her and felt it was ridiculous. Meeting the Seventh Prince was considered unlucky for Mrs. Lu, and she really didn't know if Xiao Yi really came to supervise the case, or just made trouble.

"My lord, it is true that the medicine prescribed by Baichuntang killed my girl. There are reasons and evidences. I ask your lord to be the master of this old slave."

Aunt Lai knelt down and began to cry, it was clear that the weak were seeking justice, if she hadn't sued herself, Mu Yueyin would have been moved by what she said.

But, the truth is not that simple.

"Lord Lu, there are many doubts about this matter, and the conclusion has not yet been reached. Neither Baichun Hall nor me can be convicted."

Mu Yueyin spoke outrightly and confidently, with an incomparably firm and confident tone in her tone.

"I really don't cry when I see the coffin. Miss Mu, I see that you are still young. If you admit your mistakes early, the court will definitely take your attitude into account and spare your life. Don't struggle any longer and justify yourself!"

Master Lu lost his gavel, so he could only point to Mu Yueyin underneath, exuding the majesty of an official.

"My lord, my little girl is not irrational, it's just that there are other people behind this scene. I have already..."

Before Mu Yueyin could finish speaking, he was forcibly interrupted by Master Lu, who could only hear him sternly saying: "The black hand? The murderer is you! This medicinal material has been inspected by Wu Zuo, and it contains highly poisonous cinnabar, and you still insist on sophistry?! "

After speaking, he glanced at Xiao Yi, and found that his face did not change, and he still looked like an old god, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to judge the case: "Ms. It was confiscated from Baichuntang, and Wu Zuo had already inspected the deceased, and found that there was a little cinnabar residue in her throat and stomach. As a doctor of Baichuntang, you naturally know what cinnabar is used for, and the witnesses and evidences are all conclusive , I really don’t know, Miss Mu has nothing to argue about? Someone, bring Liu Dahai up here.”

Then two officers escorted Liu Dahai who was tied up. As soon as Liu Dahai knelt on the ground, he kowtowed to Master Lu in front of him and called out his grievances.

"I just want to ask you a question, did you buy these medicinal materials a while ago?"

Master Lu pointed to a stack of medicine packs on the desk, and said seriously.

Liu Dahai had no reason to shirk, he was indeed the one who purchased these herbs, and Baichuntang had always entrusted him with this matter.

Moreover, his godfather, old man Liu, often said that if he did well and satisfied Miss San, he would be promoted to waiter in the future.

Liu Dahai knew that he had no skills, so he worked hard and never dared to be lazy. For such an important matter as purchasing medicinal materials, he must do it himself, and he dared not be negligent.

Now, listening to Mr. Lu's words, there is really something wrong with this medicine, Liu Dahai thought to himself, it's over, he can't be a waiter anymore...

Seeing Liu Dahai quickly nodding his head to admit, Master Lu turned to Mu Yueyin again, his eyes were no longer friendly, no matter how beautiful the other party was, business must be done in a fair manner.

"According to the criminal law of this dynasty, murderers must be punished, but due to the special circumstances of the case, negligent homicide is the main reason, and Baichuntang is specially sentenced to compensate Aunt Lai with 1 taels of silver. Miss Mu, as a doctor of Baichuntang, also sells poisonous Liu Dahai and Xu shopkeeper of Baichuntang who are the medicinal materials are all direct murderers who did not report the life of others without knowing it. They are specially sentenced to thirty sticks and sent to prison.

A group of people were all convicted and convicted. Xia He was spared because she was only a servant girl and did not directly participate in the operation of Baichun Hall.

But Xia He fainted immediately after listening to it. Her young lady was going to be punished with a cane and go to jail.

Seeing that Xia He fainted from the unbearable stimulation, Mu Yueyin didn't care to look at Mrs. Lu's eyes, and hurriedly helped Xia He to the chair beside her, pinched her again, and finally woke her up.

"No one comes to execute the punishment?"

Mr. Lu can't see people despising the court, especially if his words are ignored. He has already made a conclusion, so what are you waiting for?

"Lord Lu, wait a minute!"

Mu Yueyin stood up straight again, without a trace of fear in her eyes, as if the caning and imprisonment that Mr. Lu said just now had nothing to do with her.

"Don't dare to lie to Mr. Lu about what cinnabar is. My daughter is well aware of its medicinal properties, and I can't deny the fact that cinnabar will kill people after being convinced."

Shopkeeper Xu and Liu Dahai also wanted to faint when they heard this. Ms. Mu San must admit it, there is no room for tact.

Shopkeeper Xu has already figured out how to arrange the funeral in his mind. If the [-]th board goes down, his old life must go, let alone the third lady. Isn't this a life for a life? It seems That lady Lai's words are about to come true.

When Aunt Lai heard Mrs. Lu's sentence, she had long been secretly proud of herself. The sentence was really good. She will be rich soon, 1 taels. That's money that can't be earned in a few lifetimes. It was really easy to laugh at her.

Unexpectedly, Baichuntang would use cinnabar. Even ignorant women and children like Aunt Lai knew that using too much cinnabar would be fatal.

"When cinnabar particles are mixed with safflower, they are all dark red, so it is difficult to identify them. Once boiled in water, the toxicity of cinnabar will be further enhanced after the temperature rises, and the original granules will turn into powder and dissolve in water. Can’t tell. If you take too much cinnabar, you will have mercury poisoning, dizziness, headache, numbness in hands and feet, nausea, vomiting, sore throat, loss of appetite, and finally kidney failure and death.”

Mu Yueyin walked up to the desk, pushed aside the medicinal ingredients in a pair of medicines with her hands, checked them one by one, raised her wise eyes, and gently flapped her thick eyelashes, looking at Mrs. Lu who was sitting upright, feeling quite explained cautiously.

"You know that cinnabar can kill people, and you put it in medicinal materials. You are so vicious at such a young age!"

Aunt Lai pointed at Mu Yueyin and said with disdain, she didn't expect Mu Yueyin to take the opportunity to say: "Yes, I just want everyone to know how vicious people are when they put cinnabar in medicinal materials."

Then Mu Yueyin glanced at Xiao Yi again, met his inquiring expression, and said loudly: "Then that person is not me. Nor is it anyone from Baichuntang."

As soon as this remark came out, it was even more shocking than what Master Lu said just now that Zhu Sha was the one who killed the person.
