Gu Qing's words were well-reasoned and logical. Lord Zhu nodded in agreement and looked at the Cui couple with a cold gaze.
"What do you have to say about Chen's words?"
The Cui couple didn't expect them to move so quickly, but they were not afraid at all.
"Sir, this is unjust!"
"She must have bribed the mother and daughter to evade responsibility."
"My son died because he took the medicine given by that old man."
"Please, sir, do the justice for us. These two must be severely punished. Don't let them harm others again."
The man insisted, glaring at Gu Qing with gritted teeth, as if he wanted to skin her alive, but there was no pain in his eyes.
On the contrary, the woman next to him had eyes that were red and swollen like walnuts from crying, and she stared at Gu Qing with resentment.
"Sir, I have the prescriptions for all my patients here. Since they keep saying they took the medicine prescribed by Master Huang, there must be a corresponding prescription here. As long as we find the medicine residue from that day, we'll know everything!"
Gu Qing's thoughts were clear, and his voice carried a hint of confidence that he was sure of victory.
"Sir, these are the medicinal residues found in the Cui family!"
The accompanying official spoke and handed over the medicine residue.
Thanks to Madam Gu's instructions before leaving, I was able to bring all the necessary things with me, so I didn't have to make another trip.
The man surnamed Cui seemed to have not expected that they would prepare so thoroughly. He was stunned and felt his eyelids tighten.
"good!"
Master Zhu looked at the medicine residue that was presented to him and ordered in a deep voice, "Take the prisoner out of the cell and call a doctor over so that they can confirm it together."
"I want to see where this medicine comes from."
When the man surnamed Cui heard this, his eyes flickered several times, and his guilty conscience was almost written on his face.
He objected, "Sir, this is unfair. The so-called prescriptions were all taken out by her. Whether there is more or less is entirely up to her!"
"Um!"
Lord Zhu nodded and looked at Gu Qing.
"Sir, I guarantee with my life that I have absolutely not done anything wrong!"
Gu Qing looked frank.
"Humph, words are not enough. You expect people to believe it based on just a few words from you. How can such a good thing be possible?"
The man's eyes darkened, he refused to give in.
"quiet!"
Lord Zhu frowned and shouted at the two people who were about to quarrel.
Not long after, an official brought in Mr. Huang, and another official called in a doctor. Following Mr. Zhu's instructions, the two men carefully looked at the medicine residue again and again.
Mr. Huang quickly realized that this was the same medicinal residue that was delivered that day.
He lowered his eyes, with a hint of complexity in them.
After another half cup of tea, Master Zhu finally spoke solemnly and asked, "How is it?"
"Your Excellency, this medicinal residue is exactly the same as the prescription in the booklet you gave me."
The doctor lowered his eyelids and answered truthfully.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Huang did not make any excuses or rebuttals, but silently lowered his head, tacitly agreeing with the other party's statement.
Everyone present was shocked after hearing this.
"I didn't expect that this child was actually killed by them!"
"What a sin! Not only did you kill someone's child, but you also refused to admit it."
"You're blaming others and bribing them to give false testimony. Aren't you afraid of retribution for doing this?"
Listening to the people's angry abuse, the man surnamed Cui gradually straightened his back from his initial guilty conscience, but he never expected that the doctor's next words would make him fall into the abyss.
"Sir, this prescription is a good medicine for women, but for children, the dosage is too high and can be fatal if not handled with care. Logically speaking, a doctor who can prescribe this prescription cannot be a mediocre one..."
The doctor also heard about the murder of a volunteer clinic worker that had caused a lot of controversy in the past two days, and couldn't help but say a few more words.
He looked at Mr. Huang, his eyes filled with confusion, incomprehension, regret and sigh.
I can feel that Mr. Huang's medical skills are much better than mine. It's a pity that such a good doctor was involved in a murder case. His future is worrying from now on!
"That's because this prescription was not prescribed for his son at all!"
Gu Qing's voice was cold and the first sentence he said shocked everyone.
"You, what do you mean?"
The man surnamed Cui frowned and looked at someone trying to cover up the facts.
Unfortunately, in front of everyone, he didn't dare and couldn't take any action, so he could only stare at her with murderous intent.
"You must know what I'm talking about better than anyone else. Your methods are indeed very clever. You even kept your wife in the dark."
Gu Qing showed no fear at all. Instead, he approached him step by step. When he leaned over, his eyes, like those of an eagle, were filled with coldness.
"But what I can't figure out is why you wanted to kill your own son?"
"People often say that even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. What kind of evidence do those people behind the scenes have on you that would drive you to such extremes, even risking the lives of your own children to frame us?"
“You, you are talking nonsense!”
The man surnamed Cui looked panicked. When he looked at Gu Qing again, his eyes were full of fear. He felt that she was like an evil ghost crawling out of the Hall of Yama.
He retreated in embarrassment, muttering, "Crazy! She's crazy! This is complete nonsense. How could I possibly harm my own son? This is nonsense..."
Everyone present noticed something was wrong after seeing such a strange reaction.
Especially his wife Cui, after hearing the conversation between her husband and Gu Qing, the blood in her body froze and she could not believe it at all.
How is that possible?
That's his own son!
But even though I kept comforting myself in my heart, a hint of sadness and pain still appeared in my eyes.
"What on earth is going on?"
Lord Zhu, who was in a high position, was also completely confused and looked at Gu Qing with a bewildered look on his face.
Gu Qing glanced coldly at the man who was frightened to death, with disgust on his face. He retreated to his original position and then slowly restored the truth.
"It's true that this prescription was written by Mr. Huang, but it wasn't for his son, it was for her mother-in-law."
Widow Wang was surprised when she was suddenly called out, "My mother-in-law?"
Only after Gu Qing reminded her did she come to her senses.
"You mean, I threw this medicine on the ground, and he picked it up and gave it to his son?"
How can you take this medicine casually?
Gu Qing nodded. "If I hadn't heard Gouzi mention your quarrel that day, I might have really ignored it."
"Is this true?"
Cui was heartbroken. She could no longer bear it and angrily questioned her husband.
But when the man faced her, not only did he not feel the slightest bit of guilt, but he laughed crazily, a hint of madness flashed in his eyes, his expression twisted, and he said cruelly: "Yes!"
"Why did you do that?"
Cui felt her blood rushing up, her vision went dark and she almost fainted.
