Chapter 548 Investigation
Yang An looked as if he had suddenly realized something: "Thank you, Lord Sun, for your guidance."
Lord Sun thought he had listened, breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to leave.
Yang An did not let the matter go.
He took the file and wrote down the deceased's symptoms.
The file also contained the prescription that Su Taiyuan had written down for the deceased.
Yang An took the prescription and the deceased's symptoms and consulted several doctors.
"This medicine is very dangerous, but the patient's symptoms are critical, so we have to try it as a last resort. You can't say he used it wrongly."
"The patient took this medicine. Is this the symptom of poisoning?" Yang An continued to ask.
"This... I don't dare to use it this way, so I don't know if this symptom is correct."
Yang An didn't get any results from his questioning. Could it be that Su Taiyuan really killed the patient? Was there nothing wrong with the case?
Yang An returned to the Dali Temple with a frown, and happened to bump into someone.
"Coroner!"
After Fang Miao and Gu Huainian got married, she still worked as a coroner in the Dali Temple. She was not arrogant and usually investigated cases with everyone.
"What's wrong? What difficulties have you encountered?" Fang Miao asked.
Yang An often follows Gu Huainian like a follower. Gu Huainian values him very much, so Fang Miao is quite familiar with him.
"Mr. Fang, please help me look at the file." Yang An said.
Yang An took Fang Miao to look at the file.
The Dali Temple often looks through previous files to identify cases with doubts.
Fang Miao had not read the file that Yang An brought.
Did it get missed when the file room showed it to them?
Why was this one missed?
She felt strange and read it carefully.
"I've seen similar symptoms in the deceased. It was eventually discovered to be a poison called 'He Yi'. The ingredients in He Yi are somewhat different from those in this prescription," Fang Miao said.
This is where the doubt lies!
"Thank you, Mr. Coroner." Yang An said.
Yang An, accompanied by two Dali Temple officials, dressed in casual clothes, went to the residence of the woman who had sued Su Taiyuan.
Upon closer look, I discovered that the woman was quite wealthy and actually lived in a big house.
He asked his neighbors and found out about the situation.
"Ms. Li bought the house more than ten years ago and lives here with her son!"
"This house is not cheap, right?" Yang An said.
"I bought this house more than ten years ago for six hundred taels of silver!"
Yang An looked at the house. It was not as big as Li's. The price of Li's house seemed to be no less than six hundred taels.
"Even though Li is so rich, she's still so stingy that she won't even buy anything for her servants!"
"Yeah, you said where did Li get so much money? She doesn't do anything on weekdays. I heard she went to look at shops again."
Several women gathered together, talking to each other.
These women were actually the most well-informed. After listening for a while, Yang An got the information he wanted.
Another strange thing.
According to the description in the file, the deceased was a butcher and had little money. Huichuntang compensated Li with one hundred taels of silver. How could Li have the money to buy such a nice house?
Yang An thought about it and asked two Dali Temple officials to guard outside the house and follow the woman Li to see if they could find out anything.
In a blink of an eye, five days have passed.
This case was much easier to investigate than Yang An had imagined, and new clues soon emerged.
This clue came by chance.
Mrs. Li was a very stingy person. She lived in a big house but was reluctant to hire servants.
Later, after my son got married, most of the housework was left to his daughter-in-law.
Li's son is also not doing his job properly. He has recently become addicted to gambling and owes a lot of money.
He owed money, so he came back to ask Li for it.
Li naturally refused to give him money, so he stole the money Li had used to buy the shop.
Li had a fight with him, and it was quite a big fight, so the neighbors all came to watch the fun.
Li's son owed a lot of money and was desperate, so he found someone and threatened him that if he didn't pay him, he would tell the Dali Temple about his false accusation of the Huichuntang doctor twelve years ago.
It just so happened that the officials from the Dali Temple secretly followed and heard all the threats for money.
The officer quickly told Yang An, who then ordered the arrest of Li's son. When questioned, he confessed everything.
…
Tang Li and Mrs. Su waited for news from Doctor Su at home every day.
After five or six days, the Dali Temple finally opened to try Su Taiyuan's case.
Mrs. Su was still a little nervous when she heard it.
"I don't know what the outcome will be this time..." Mrs. Su said hesitantly.
This case was also tried by the Dali Temple twelve years ago, and the result of the trial was that Su Taiyuan had killed the patient.
Tang Li held her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, I think this is a good result."
Tang Li comforted her, and Mrs. Su felt a little relieved. The two of them rushed to the Dali Temple together.
When they arrived, many onlookers had already gathered outside the Dali Temple, all of whom were there to watch the excitement.
"The person hearing the case this time is Lord Yang, the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple." Tang Li said, introducing the people sitting in the court.
The Dali Temple has many cases, and not all of them are handled by the Dali Temple Qing personally. The Dali Temple has several Dali Temple Zhengs who can handle and try cases.
Yang An is the subordinate that her eldest brother values the most. Her eldest brother said that there is no problem in handing this case over to Yang An.
Mrs. Su held Tangli's hand tighter.
Because at this time, Doctor Su was brought to court.
The crowd looked at Dr. Su with contempt.
"quack!"
"You still say he was framed! I think this trial has proven that he murdered someone!"
Mrs. Su looked unhappy as she listened to the discussions.
Tang Li's eyes swept over the people who were talking.
Her eyes were indifferent, but inexplicably intimidating, and those people didn't dare to speak.
"Actually, Doctor Su is quite good. He cured my illness."
"My family is poor and can't afford medical treatment, so it was Doctor Su who treated me."
At this time, two different voices sounded.
"I don't think Doctor Su is a quack. How could such a good person like Doctor Su harm someone?"
"I hope the Dali Temple can give Doctor Su justice this time."
When Mrs. Su heard the voice, her eyes suddenly turned red.
In fact, the people her husband saved were not all indiscriminate, there were also grateful people.
Soon, Li and her son were brought to the court. Li's face was pale, and her son had a bruised face and looked very depressed.
"Bring Jia Shun!" said Lord Yang in the court.
Soon, Jia Shun was brought to court.
Su Taiyuan glanced at Jia Shun, was stunned for a moment, and obviously remembered something.
Jia Shun didn't look at Su Taiyuan, but at Yang An in the courtroom. He looked not at fear, but at a threat: "Sir, I'm working at the Imperial Hospital and I'm already too busy to handle everything. Why did the Dali Temple send me here? I have to see the ladies in the palace on this day every month. If I'm late and the higher-ups blame me, will you take the blame for me?"
