Lin Wanwan and Li Yuying were also taken to the bench respectively, and they were so scared that they bit their sleeves tightly.
“Bang!”
The board fell down fiercely. Lin Wanwan shuddered and opened her mouth to scream... Oh? Why doesn't it hurt? Her thoughts turned quickly. It should be Liu Zhubu who helped them...
“Ouch! Ahhh! It hurts! Ouch~”
But she still yelled out of respect. The bailiff who beat her raised his eyebrows and couldn't help laughing in his heart. This little girl was quite sensible.
After being beaten with the stick, she limped to help Sister Yuying with a grimace. Li Yuying didn't feel much pain, but she was infected by Lin Wanwan's acting skills and pretended to be very realistic.
"Plaintiff He Dawu! Do you have any evidence to prove that the pig offal he ate was poisonous?"
"Sir, hiss! Sir! We have called a doctor, Doctor Huang from Ji's Pharmacy! He just tested my brother with a silver needle! He said that the poison has entered my brother's lungs and he is no longer able to survive!"
"Where is Doctor Huang? Tell me!"
Huang Yuan's face darkened. He cursed them inwardly for a few words before bowing and saying, "Sir, I am Huang Yuan, the chief physician of Ji's Pharmacy. I have diagnosed the patient just now and found that he is indeed poisoned. The pig's offal is poisonous."
"Defendant, do you admit it?"
Lin Wanwan bowed to him and said, "Your Excellency, we deny it! We don't just have this pig's offal. Why would they poison him for no reason? Moreover, they smashed our stall as soon as they came here today. There is not much physical evidence left. I strongly suspect that they are framing us!"
"Someone, bring up the evidence!"
Li Yuying gave them the barrel and the jar and said, "The barrel contains what's left, and the jar contains what's spilled."
The county magistrate took the silver needle and put it in the wooden barrel to test it. The silver needle did not change color. He then took a piece of meat from the jar and put the silver needle in it. Who would have thought that the silver needle would turn black little by little...
Lin Wanwan was stunned for a moment and shouted in disbelief: "Impossible! My pig offal is very clean, it can't be poisonous!"
The county magistrate took another piece of meat from the barrel and tested it again, finding no poison.
There is no poison in the barrel, but there is poison on the ground... they overturned the stall... Was the poison already there when they overturned the stall?
"Sir, could it be that the poison has not seeped down there?"
"Well, that's possible."
Lin Wanwan looked at the person who had just spoken. He should be the county magistrate. Haha, no wonder they were not afraid to report to the authorities. It turns out that they have a backer!
"Sir, there is one thing I don't understand. If the pig's offal is really poisonous, why did others eat it and nothing happened to him?"
He Dayong immediately said, "Who knows if your pig offal is clean? What if it was poisoned? My brother has bought from you several times. The poison is so fierce that it may have accumulated slowly! Of course, they will be fine if they eat it once or twice!"
"You! You are slandering me! We buy our pig offal from Lao Wang's butcher shop. He has been selling meat in our county for many years. Are you saying there is something wrong with his pigs?"
"Humph, what if you buy it from someone else again?"
At this time, Liu Zhubu stepped forward and said with a smile, "Sir, this girl from the Lin family did indeed buy the pig offal from the Wang family butcher shop, and she even signed a contract. I was the guarantor."
The county magistrate nodded and said, "I have heard about this."
The county magistrate said sarcastically, "Liu Zhubu is really willing to be a guarantor for anything. He is not afraid of getting caught by accident."
Liu Zhubu ignored him and continued to tell the county magistrate: "Firstly, this pig offal can be served on the people's table, and secondly, the price is cheaper than meat. It allows the people to eat well and wear well, which is the main thing. That's why I helped to make this guarantee."
"Well, I know your intentions. You don't need to worry about it. My son also bought it a few days ago and tried it with his family. There was no strange smell. It tasted really good. But what happened today was really weird."
The county magistrate said, "Sir, could it be that the pig offal today is indeed poisonous?"
“Ahem!”
Suddenly, there were a few coughs coming from behind. Lin Wanwan turned around and saw that it was Fu Junyi!
"Hey, Mr. Gao! I'm Fu Junyi, and I'm in the pig offal business with Lin Wan. I just heard from the servants that someone had died from eating the offal, so I came over to take a look."
County Magistrate Gao immediately put on a smiling face, "It turns out to be Master Fu. I am just hearing a case. Master Fu, please come and listen."
"Thank you for your help, sir! I had a cold a few days ago, and I asked the doctor from Wu's pharmacy to treat me. The treatment was very good. I just invited them to come as well. I wonder if you can use them?"
County Magistrate Gao nodded and said, "Since you are here, let's go see the patient together!"
Lin Wanwan suddenly felt relieved and glanced at He Dayong. Humph, my backer is here, none of you can do anything!
He Dayong felt a little guilty at this time, cold sweat gradually appeared on his forehead, but he still didn't dare to speak.
The three doctors came forward and felt his pulse one by one, then opened his mouth to check. After a discussion among them in a low voice, one of them immediately opened the medicine box and took out the needle bag.
The other two took off his clothes to make it easier for him to give him the acupuncture.
After a few injections, the unconscious person suddenly coughed violently, then slowly woke up. When he got up and looked where he was, he was so scared that he fainted again.
Several doctors rushed forward to check and found that there was nothing wrong and it was just an act, so they reported to the county magistrate.
"Sir, when we took his pulse just now, we found that he had no signs of poisoning, but just had a seizure, which was probably caused by drinking too much. We just gave him acupuncture, and he is fine now."
"Very good!" Magistrate Gao looked at Doctor Huang again, "Doctor Huang, why do you say he was poisoned?"
"This... this..." Doctor Huang wiped the sweat from his forehead, his legs felt weak, "Maybe I made a mistake in the diagnosis. I am not a good doctor..."
