Chapter 95 Internal strife
Magistrate Zhang slammed the table.
The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and he said, "Jiang Jing, the deceased is right in front of you. Look at his miserable state. If you still have a conscience, admit your mistake quickly."
The couple kept kowtowing and saying how tragically their son died.
"Wow, sir, you must help me. He died a tragic death."
Jiang Jing looked away from the corpse and pursed his lips. "I didn't kill him. I plead not guilty. He does smell strongly of alcohol, but it's not wine. It's liquor. Please investigate, sir."
Wang Daozhi's eyes were wandering and he scolded.
"Nonsense! He clearly died from drinking wine! You still refuse to admit it? Someone, come and torture him!"
The torture instruments were brought up one by one.
Clamps, whips, iron spikes, etc.
Jiusu had only seen this on TV, but seeing the blood-stained torture instruments, she couldn't help but feel terrified. She stepped forward and stopped him, saying, "Sir, I know medicine and can tell the cause of death. Please allow me to do so. Otherwise, I suspect this is a long-planned frame-up!"
Long crisp.
They all recognized it.
When General Chen brought back the woman, the woman who dared to divorce was brave and decisive. The people watched the show with their chests crossed. After watching for so long, they realized that this was a play of a beautiful woman saving a fugitive.
Wang Daozhi's anger rushed to his head and he cursed, "Jiusu, who do you think you are? You are the only one who knows medicine? If you know medicine, I will kneel on the ground and call you daddy!"
"Oh, I don't have a son as vicious as you." Jiusu's lips curled up coldly, "In Lingcheng, I can identify poisons. Have you forgotten?"
Master Qian and Lu He also spoke at the appropriate time.
"Miss Jiu is indeed a doctor. She cured our wife's illness."
This sentence caused another uproar.
Because they all knew why Mr. Qian came to Suming County. It was because the fighting in Shengjing was too terrible, and he came to escape. But the doctor said that Mrs. Qian might not live long, but she was saved? That was really a miracle.
Helpless, I could only ask her to come and check it out.
The couple looked at each other and looked at the woman approaching with caution.
Jiusu lifted the white cloth, and a foul smell swept over. The man seemed to have been dead for two or three days. Moreover, judging from his skin and face, he was probably in his late thirties, and his parents... were probably only about thirty-five. They didn't look like any parent and son at all.
She seemed to smell a huge conspiracy.
She felt his pulse and said, "He died from drinking too much."
If the bracelet doesn't move, it means it's non-toxic.
The woman immediately cried, "Oh, you died tragically! You just loved drinking, didn't you? How could you drink yourself to death? Jiang Jing, you cruel thing, you lowly convict, give me back my life!"
Jiusu frowned. Ajing was taking the blame for her. She felt very uncomfortable hearing such harsh words.
"I haven't finished yet. He died of alcoholism, not poisoning. The alcohol wasn't wine, but liquor."
"You're talking nonsense! Little bitch, are you having an affair with that lowly fugitive? You're lying with your eyes open, you'll be struck by lightning!" The woman's face was ferocious and her teeth were chattering. If this wasn't a government office, she might have just torn it apart.
Jiusu was not to be outdone, "I think you've been struck by lightning! How dare you say this man is your son? You two are about the same age!"
As soon as she said that, she could clearly see the uneasy look in the couple's eyes.
There's something fishy! There's definitely something fishy!
She had a bold guess that these two people killed the man, and Wang Daozhi happened to find them, so this drama happened.
A trace of murderous intent flashed across the man's eyes. He lowered his head and kowtowed.
"Sir, this woman is disturbing the court. Please kick her out!"
"Are you feeling guilty or scared?" Jiang Jing's voice drifted over softly, his eyes burning as if to see through the man.
Wang Daozhi rolled up his sleeves and ordered, "Come here, kick Jiusu out! If he dares to disrupt the court again, he will be severely punished!"
The bailiff stepped forward and tried to grab the woman.
Jiusu stood where he was, neither servile nor overbearing, and shouted, "County Magistrate Wang, are you feeling guilty?"
Before Wang Daozhi could speak.
County Magistrate Zhang couldn't sit still any longer. He lifted his official robe, walked over angrily, pointed at Jiusu and asked, "What did you call him just now? He's the county magistrate, so who am I? I am the county magistrate! Whoever touches Jiusu is going against me!"
Of course, he didn't have to go against Wang Daozhi.
But this method seems to have failed. If he continues to conceal it and helps Wang Daozhi frame Jiang Jing, something bad might happen if it is exposed one day.
Wang Daozhi quickly pulled him aside and stamped his feet anxiously, saying, "Sir, what are you doing? Jiusu will only cause trouble if he's here!"
County Magistrate Zhang looked up, his portly figure making Wang Daozhi look like a mere underling. The saying "a mighty dragon cannot overpower a local snake" didn't apply here. After all, Wang Daozhi wasn't a dragon, just a small loach. He sneered, "What are you doing? What you did wasn't glorious to begin with."
He really has lost his mind, allowing Wang Daozhi to step on his head and pee and poop a few days ago.
Now when I came to my senses, I found myself in a very sexy state.
Wang Daozhi grabbed his arm, his eyes gleaming with viciousness. "Zhang Tu, what do you mean? You want to go against me, right?"
How dare he call me by my name? If he wasn't the prefect's man, he wouldn't be allowed to live past tomorrow.
Magistrate Zhang pushed his arm away and said in a cold voice, "I am the magistrate here. You are just a small-time county magistrate. Make your position clear. Otherwise, I will tell the prefect that you are arrogant! Sooner or later, you will get into big trouble."
Future and family.
Which one will the prefect choose?
Jiusu looked away. It seemed the two of them had fallen out. Why? It seemed Wang Daozhi was overbearing and tyrannical, committing an insubordinate act, and Magistrate Zhang couldn't stand it. Well, while the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman benefits.
"Sir County Magistrate, you must be very discerning. This obvious false accusation is no thicker than a layer of dust. If the wind blows it away, the truth will be revealed. If it gets out, it will be very disadvantageous to you."
"Haha." County Magistrate Zhang laughed a few times. He sat back on his wooden chair, looked at the huge crowd, and then caught a glimpse of the hatred and anger of the County Magistrate. He slammed the table and said, "This case is full of doubts. I need to conduct a careful investigation and will return to court on another day!"
He lifted up his official robe and left.
Jiang Jing was taken away, and he took the opportunity to whisper, "Don't be afraid."
But facing such a smile, Jiusu's eyes still reddened. She could feel what kind of torture Ah Jing had just endured. No, she had to find a way, even if it meant bribery. "Yes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. He wouldn't want to be suppressed by a newcomer to the county, right?"
In the afternoon, the sky was gloomy, as if something bad was going to happen.
Wang Daozhi stopped the yamen runner and asked, "Why are you so anxious? Has something happened?"
The yamen runner said, "It's the general's concubine who has arrived."
