As soon as Wu Bai arrived at the city gate, he was stopped by the yamen.

"Doctor Wu, the county magistrate has something to ask for." The yamen said respectfully.

"Did you say something?" Wu Bai asked.

"The lord didn't say it, but someone from the yamen came to report the case. The deceased died of poisoning. Zuo Zuo just asked for leave to go home. The subordinates guessed that it was related to this." The yamen replied.

"Let's go then." Wu Bai turned the carriage and headed towards the county office again.

As soon as the two entered the county government office, a government officer came over to inform them that Wu Bai would go directly to the lobby, and the adults were about to start the trial.

Wu Bai didn't dare to delay, and hurried to the lobby.

The magistrate sat high above. When he saw Wu Bai coming back, he immediately asked the yamen to move a chair for Wu Bai and asked him to sit down before the trial began.

"Who is under the court, what is the so-called matter?" the county magistrate asked in a solemn voice.

.An old woman stepped forward and cried, "My lord, my son's death was wronged, please ask the lord to decide for me~"

"Quiet, no noise is allowed in the courtroom. If you have any grievances, honestly speaking, this official will deal with justice."

The old woman did not dare to cry and complained: "The old woman lives on South Street, lives with her son, and opened a fireworks shop just now, but my son Du Tai was poisoned to death, and asked the adults to help me Be in charge, woohoo..."

After she finished speaking, she glared at another man and a woman in the lobby.

After the old woman finished speaking, the woman said, "My lord, the woman was wronged. The woman did not poison her husband, and asked the lord to decide for me~"

"Who is your surname? Sign up." The county magistrate asked.

.The woman replied, "The woman's surname is Fang and her name is Cuicui. She has been married to Du Tai for many years and has a deep relationship. How could she possibly poison him."

The county magistrate looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "What about you, who is your last name, and what does it have to do with this case?"

The man replied, "Returning to your lord, Caomin's surname is Wang Minghe, he lives on South Street, and he is a neighbor with Du Tai. He had a dispute with Du Tai a few days ago."

"Oh? No wonder you were brought here too." The magistrate nodded.

At this time, the old woman said again: "My lord, the old woman is going to sue these two people. They must have teamed up to murder my son."

"Do you have any evidence?" the magistrate asked.

"Yes, this is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake. This is my son's favorite food, and he buys and eats it often." The old woman replied.

"Show it to Doctor Wu to see if it is poisonous," the county magistrate ordered.

.Wu Bai picked up a silver needle and inserted it into the cake, and then pulled it out. The silver needle was black. He replied, "Sir, this cake was indeed poisoned."

The county magistrate nodded and said, "Then it seems that the poison is really in this cake."

At this time, Wang He opened his mouth and said, "Your Excellency Rong Yi."

"Say."

"Sir, this poison is put into the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and it should be done by someone close to him. The villain had a dispute with Du Tai a few days ago, and he has never been to his house in the past few days, so there is absolutely no possibility of poisoning. ." Wang Heyi said.

After saying this, the magistrate nodded slightly, feeling that what he said was reasonable.

The old woman in the hall even turned her attention to Fang Cuicui, eager to tear her apart and eat her.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Fang Cuicui quickly explained, "My lord, I didn't give this poison, I am wronged!"

.Wang He spoke again: "Sir, Fang Cuicui told me a few days ago that there were rats in the house, and asked me if there was any solution. At that time, I asked her to buy some poison to pour the rat poison. I don't know if it has anything to do with today's events. I hope you will check it out.”

"Oh? What else?" the magistrate said.

Fang Cuicui hurriedly kowtowed: "My lord, I bought arsenic cream for the purpose of poisoning mice. At this moment, there is a dead mouse under my bed, and I dare not touch it. It is still lying under the bed, and my lord will send someone to investigate. ."

The county magistrate immediately sent someone to investigate to see if the situation was true, and soon the yamen came back and reported that there was indeed a dead mouse under the bed, and he brought it with him.

Looking at the mouse, Fang Cuicui felt like she was reborn, she said excitedly: "What I said is true, I was really wronged."

.Seeing that she didn't look like a fake, the county magistrate pondered for a moment, and said, "Someone, go and bring the person from the pastry shop to ask questions."

"Yes." The two yamen took the order and left.

After a while, the owner of the shop that sold Du Tai sweet-scented osmanthus cake and his staff were all brought in.

The county magistrate continued to interrogate and investigate them, but they found nothing suspicious. The owner and clerk in the shop knew the deceased, because Du Tai could be regarded as a regular customer, but no one had a relationship with Du Tai in private. Over the intersection.

The yamen investigated the recent deeds of these few people, but also did not find any lies about them.

After investigation, the most suspicious person was still Fang Cuicui. Although there was a dead mouse under her bed, it did not fully prove that she did not put arsenic in the cake.

.Seeing that the county magistrate was about to put Fang Cuicui in jail for a retrial, Wu Bai suddenly noticed that Wang He's lips were hooked, and a young man from the pastry shop glanced at Wang He several times.

Wu Bai said: "Sir, I still have a few questions, can you let me ask?"

The magistrate nodded and said, "Yes."

Wu Bai walked to the work of the pastry shop and asked, "Why did you stare at him just now?"

Seeing that Wu Bai dared to be so casual in front of the magistrate, he didn't dare to hide anything, and said honestly: "This guest official also came to the store today to buy osmanthus cakes, so I couldn't help but glance at him. "

"Oh? Is he also a regular customer in the store?" Wu Bai asked again.

.The workman shook his head and said, "He's not a regular customer in the store. Our store is a long-established brand. We usually come and go with regular customers. Today, I suddenly saw an unfamiliar face. It was inevitable that I took a second look, so I remembered."

Wang He clenched his fist in his sleeve, looked up at Wu Bai, and mocked: "Am I not worthy of buying osmanthus cake? Doctor Wu is so entangled in this matter."

Wu Bai ignored him, turned to look at the magistrate, and asked, "Sir, can you let me examine the body of the deceased?"

"Yes." Seeing that Wu Bai seemed to have an idea, the magistrate certainly wouldn't stop him.

Then two yamen officers carried the deceased up from the mortuary at the back. In order to respect the deceased, the county government generally did not directly place the deceased in the lobby for people to watch, and only carried them out when necessary.

.The old woman on the side rushed over and cried to the deceased: "Son, you died so miserably, how can you live alone as your mother?"

Fang Cuicui went to support her and comforted her: "Mother, don't be too sad, you still have me and Tong'er!"

The old woman pushed her away and said viciously, "You poisonous woman, it's you who killed my son!"

"Mother, I'm really wronged, I didn't kill Xiang Gong." Fang Cuicui cried.

Seeing this situation, the county magistrate asked the yamen to remove the old woman first, and then Wu Bai opened the curtain to examine the deceased.

...

"How is it? Doctor Wu, what did you find out?" the county magistrate asked.

"My lord, the deceased was not arsenic. Frost poisoning." Wu Bai replied.

"Didn't he die of poisoning?" the county magistrate asked in surprise.

."No, the deceased died of poisoning, but the poison is not arsenic. Frost." When Wu Bai said these words, Yu Guang kept staring at Wang He, and found that his face turned ashen for a moment.

"It's not arsenic. What kind of poison is that?" the county magistrate asked.

"It's a poison to make a lily of the valley."

"Lily of the Valley?"

"Yes, lily of the valley is a flower that can be used as ornamental ornament in the garden, but it is poisonous and cannot be eaten. If it is ground into powder and put into food for people to swallow, the excess will cause poisoning and death." Wu Bai explained.

Then he walked towards the plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, checked it carefully, and said again, "Sir, someone has put lily of the valley powder in this sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

.At this time, Fang Cuicui said: "Sir, I have never seen a flower called lily of the valley. I also ask you to decide for me and my husband, woo woo..."

"Let me ask you, why did your husband quarrel with Wang He a few days ago?" Wu Bai asked.

Fang Cuicui stopped crying and said, "My family and Wang He are neighbors, and by chance I heard that Wang He has a way of repelling insects and rodents. It happened that the house was infested with mice recently, so I asked Wang He about the way to get rid of rodents, and he told me. You can use poison to pour rat poison, and then he saw that my husband was not at home, so he wanted to molest me, but my husband just came back to see this and beat him up, and the two of them got into an argument because of it."

After Wu Bai heard this, he walked up to Wang He and asked, "Do you know how to repel mosquitoes and mice?"

Wang He Shen replied: "It will be a little while."

"So, you know pharmacology?" Wu Bai asked.

."No, I'm just a gardener. I usually take care of the gardens for the master's family. There are quite a few mosquitoes in those places, so I thought of some home-made methods to repel them." Wang He said lightly.

"Flower garden? So, you know Lily of the Valley and have the opportunity to get the powder?" Wu Bai said with a smile.

"No, don't talk nonsense." Wang He retorted.

The magistrate could see it clearly from above. After many years of adjudicating cases for officials, he could naturally see that Wang He was guilty.

So he immediately ordered the yamen to search Wang He's house, and at the same time he went to the master's house that Wang He said to check to see if the other party's house had flowers like lily of the valley.

Soon, the yamen who went to Wang He's house to search first came back with a bag of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand and a small paper bag of white-yellow powder.

The county magistrate asked the yamen to hand over these things to Wu Bai for inspection.

.Wu Bai soon recognized that the white-yellow powder was lily-of-the-valley powder, but the sweet-scented osmanthus cake was not sprinkled with lily-of-the-valley powder.

Just after checking these, the yamen who went to Liu's house also returned.

This Liu family is the family that hired Wang He as a gardener.

The Liu family only sent one housekeeper over, and the housekeeper said as soon as he arrived, "Master Qi, this king and the master have been dismissed by the master two days ago. He is not the gardener of my Liu family now."

"What's the matter?" asked the magistrate.

"Wang He injured the precious stamens that the master loves two days ago, so he was ordered to be dismissed by the master, and he also asked the Liu family to compensate a sum of money." The housekeeper continued.

"Then do you have lily of the valley?" the county magistrate asked.

"Master, my master likes to collect all kinds of flowers, so this lily of the valley is also available." The butler replied.

.The county magistrate confirmed this, and took the gavel at hand and took a picture.

"Bold Wang He, the evidence is here, why do you have to quibble!"

Knowing that the situation was over, Wang He collapsed to the ground and muttered, "This is all the fault of that bastard Du Tai, if he hadn't hurt my hand, I wouldn't have hurt Master Liu's precious stamens. I won't be fired, I won't be in huge debts..."

In the end, Wang He honestly explained the truth about how he dropped Dutai's sweet-scented osmanthus cake and successfully killed the other party.

He was also sentenced to death by the county magistrate and asked to be executed after the autumn.

After the facts of the case were revealed, Wu Bai left the county seat with a carriage and rushed back to Qingyuan Village.

The county magistrate also wrote the case into a document and submitted it, and finally submitted it to the imperial front step by step.

.On the Golden Palace, the emperor praised Wuhua county magistrate for his prudence and impartiality, and asked the court officials to learn more from the other party's attitude.

After going to court, someone approached Xiao Zimo's father and asked, "Master Xiao, I remember that your son seems to have gone to Wuhua County for medical treatment. How is the situation now?"

Xiao Tianhen replied: "It's true, he sent a letter back a few days ago, only saying that the doctor can cure the disease, but it will take a long time, and everything else will be fine."

"What kind of doctor? It's so powerful that even the imperial doctor can't cure the disease, but he can cure it?" The man said in surprise.

"I only heard about this doctor occasionally. Isn't it impossible? Even the imperial doctor said that my son... I just let this doctor try it!" Xiao Tianhen said with a hand spread.
