Chapter 321 Trial of the Poisoning Case

The Cui family members looked at each other, and suddenly a bad premonition arose in their hearts.

The elder looked at the people behind him, called a young man, and asked him to go to the foot of the mountain to take a look under the pretext of chopping wood.

Of course, the news they received would definitely make the Cui family feel overwhelmed.

…

Mo Jiuye and his fifth brother drove the carriage and soon arrived at the county government office.

It happened that Mo Chuhan, who had just finished lunch, was taking people out to do some errands.

Seeing his brothers coming over at this time, Mo Chuhan instinctively thought that they were in trouble.

"Fifth brother, ninth brother, why are you here at this time?"

Mo Jiuye jumped off the carriage first, and without saying a word, he pulled out the Cui family member who had poisoned the food from the carriage, and then threw him to the ground.

"My brother, this is a member of the Cui family. He was so bold as to poison the workers' soup."

Mo Chuhan was also very angry when he heard this. He stepped forward and kicked the Cui family member hard.

"You're so audacious! Do you know what a crime poisoning is? In serious cases, you'll lose your head."

This kick hit the Cui family member on the waist with great force. The Cui family member screamed in pain.

The officer following behind Mo Chuhan also heard the conversation between the two brothers. He stepped forward and picked up the Cui family member and walked into the yamen.

Others shouted, "Go and ask the Lord to open the court to try the poisoning case."

Seeing that someone had already gone to ask Meng Huaining, Mo Jiuye said to Bage, "Bage, go to the clinic and ask a doctor to come over."

Mo Chuhan has been working as a captain of the police in Yuncheng for several months. He knows everything here very well. He knows which doctor is better without Mo Jiuye telling him.

"Okay, I'll go now."

With my ninth brother’s sister-in-law, a miracle doctor, at home, we’ve never had to consult a doctor when anyone in the family is sick.

Mo Chuhan thought that the workers at home had been poisoned, and his ninth brother's wife was too busy to handle it alone, so his ninth brother was anxious for him to go and call a doctor.

Poisoning is no small matter; it could be fatal...

Mo Chuhan indeed did not listen carefully to his ninth brother's words. Mo Jiuye asked him to invite a doctor over, and the location of the doctor referred to was the county government office, and the number was one, but he did not hear it at all.

He went to the city and invited all the famous doctors from several clinics to Xiling Village.

Of course, this is all later.

The fifth brother tied the carriage to the stable in front of the county government office and followed Mo Jiuye into the government office.

When he heard that someone from the Mohist school was coming, Meng Huaining ran to the court faster than a rabbit.

When Mo Jiuye and his fifth brother saw him, he was still adjusting his official hat which was a little crooked.

Seeing the two of them, Meng Huaining walked out from behind the desk warmly and stood in the middle of the court to communicate with them.

"Fifth Brother, Ninth Brother, what exactly happened?"

If you don't know them, you might think they are brothers meeting each other because of the way they are called.

Mo Jiuye and the fifth brother were still a little angry at the moment, so they did not exchange too much greetings with Meng Huaining.

"Master Meng, I saw with my own eyes this man poisoning the workers' food."

Inside the yamen, Mo Jiuye thought it would be better not to call Meng Brother.

Meng Huaining also knew that this was not the time to build a relationship with his future brother-in-law.

He turned and walked behind the desk, his face immediately becoming serious.

After the crisp sound of the gavel, Meng Huaining said, "Come here, the court will be opened!"

Immediately, a group of officers stood in an orderly manner on both sides, holding killing sticks.

The Cui family members who poisoned the food were so frightened by this scene that they were trembling all over and could not even kneel steadily.

Meng Huaining asked solemnly, "Who is kneeling in the hall?"

In coordination with Meng Huaining, the officers on both sides beat the ground rhythmically with their clubs.

The Cui family had never seen such a scene before. They knelt and curled up on the ground, kowtowing to their superiors continuously.

"I'm Cui Xing from Xiling Village."

Meng Huaining banged the gavel again: "Cui Xing, tell me, why did you poison the people working for the Mo family?"

If he were in Xiling Village, Cui Xing would still have a glimmer of hope.

What if Mo Jiuye didn't see anything and was just bluffing? As long as he refused to admit it, the other party would have no way to do anything to him.

But the situation was different when they came to the court. The people of Yuncheng said that this man was a great judge and there was no case he could not solve.

He also saw with his own eyes that Mo Laowu used a porcelain bottle to hold some poisoned vegetable soup.

As long as we call a doctor to check, we will probably know that it has been poisoned.

Cui Xing knew that he could not escape this disaster. Instead of suffering physical pain, it would be better to speak out early so that he could suffer less.

"Sir, I am guilty, but this was not my idea alone..."

Meng Huaining shouted again coldly: "Speak!"

"It's the elders of my family and some of my clansmen. They are jealous of the Mo family's good life now, so they want to make things difficult for them.

Later, we all got together and discussed that we would poison the food of the workers working for the Mohist family. Then, the compensation they paid would bankrupt the Mohist family."

After hearing this, is there anything that everyone present doesn’t understand?

The Cui family's motive for poisoning was too obvious. It was nothing more than jealousy that the Mo family was living better and better in Xiling Village, while their Cui family was declining.

The usually calm Fifth Brother became angrier the more he thought about it.

The Mo family just wanted to live a peaceful life in Xiling Village, but they didn't expect that there would be so much intrigue in such an inconspicuous countryside.

The fifth brother angrily stepped forward and grabbed Cui Xing by the collar, shouting, "What kind of poison did you put in the soup?"

Cui Xing saw someone attacking him again, and he was frightened and said quickly:

"I don't know what kind of poison it is. It was brought by my clan. Anyway, it's to make the Mo family suffer."

The fifth brother knew that Cui Xing would no longer hide anything at this time. If he said he didn't know, he might really not know.

He threw the man back to his original position and turned to look towards the entrance of the court.

"I remember there's a clinic nearby. Eighth brother, go get a doctor. Why hasn't he returned yet?"

At this time, Mo Chuhan, along with a dozen doctors, was already rushing towards Xiling Village...

When Meng Huaining heard that Mo Chuhan had already gone out to find a doctor, he did not rush to send anyone else out.

Since all members of the Cui family were involved in the poisoning, there is no reason to let them go.

He sent his advisor to ask Cui Xing how many members of the Cui family were involved in the incident, and to clarify who was the mastermind and what they had done.

At the same time, officials were sent to Xiling Village to quickly surround the Cui family. No matter whether they were involved in the incident or not, no one could be let escape until a definite conclusion was reached.

The lawyer took Cui Xing to the side to ask questions, and Meng Huaining sent someone to make tea and entertain the two Mo brothers in the back hall.

An hour passed by waiting. The master had already finished recording all the notes, but Mo Chuhan still didn't come back.

Mo Jiuye and the fifth brother were completely unable to sit still. They were both worried that Mo Chuhan had encountered some difficult situation.

The two of them stood up at the same time, gave instructions to Meng Huaining, and planned to go out to look for Mo Chuhan.

Meng Huaining also felt something was wrong at this time, and sent several officers to accompany his brothers in the search.
