The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 182: Poisoned Wine Case (6)

Doctor Mao replied, "Your Highness, Master Xue, I suggest that Judge Wang take the Zhenyan Pill."

Wang Tongpan was so scared that he shook his hands: "No! This is against the rules. Your Highness, Master Xue, I am not a prisoner, how can I be forced to take the Zhenyan Pill? If the official secrets are leaked, whose fault will it be?"

"The effect of the Zhenyan Pill is that you answer whatever someone asks. If no one asks a question, you won't say a single extra word." Jian Yue said.

"That won't work. What if something happens?" In short, one must never take that weird mantra pill.

There is no escape for you today.

Jian Yue decided to use her ultimate move: "Your Highness, Master Xue, I was ambushed on my way back from the farm. Fortunately, I brought a few more people with me, so I managed to escape, and I also caught two assassins who ambushed me. I request to bring these two assassins to court."

"Okay." Ji Yun said again.

Xue Guangen just opened his mouth:...

Jian Yue made a gesture to Fu Yun at the door, and Fu Yun immediately turned and left.

A quarter of an hour later, two killers, completely limp, were brought over.

The two men looked terrified, as if they had seen something terrible and their faces were distorted with fear.

In fact, the two were very clear-headed. But they just couldn't move. Even if they wanted to bite their tongues to commit suicide, they couldn't do it.

How could there be such a powerful muscle softening powder in the world? The two killers were frightened like this because of the muscle softening powder they were injected with.

As soon as the two killers were thrown into the lobby by Fu Wu and Fu Liu, Doctor Mao quickly fed one of them the Mantra Pill.

The pupils of Meng Tongzhi and Wang Tongpan narrowed and they subconsciously clenched their fingers.

After Killer A swallowed the Zhenyan Pill, he immediately felt a splitting headache and phantoms in front of his eyes changed like a kaleidoscope, making it difficult for him to distinguish between reality and fantasy.

Doctor Mao began to interrogate: "What's your name?"

Killer A didn't want to say it, but he said honestly: "Xu Er."

"Whose person?"

Killer A subconsciously resisted answering, but he couldn't control his mouth: "A killer raised by Magistrate Wang."

"Why did you kill my little disciple?"

"Wang Tongpan ordered us to intercept the disciple of the Divine Doctor on the way and delay her return to the city. Then, we will beat her up and send her to jail. This will make it easier for the Second Young Master to do his job."

“How many of you went?”

"Ten archers, thirty assassins."

"Are you all assassins raised by Wang Tongpan?"

"No, the ten archers are from Lieutenant General Shen's side. The master sent fifteen of them, and the other fifteen are from Tongzhi Meng's side."

thump! thump! thump!

Lieutenant General Shen, Vice Magistrate Meng and Magistrate Wang all knelt down at the same time.

"Your Highness, Lord Xue, we don't know who this man belongs to. He is slandering us! He is framing us!" Lieutenant General Shen cried out for injustice.

Meng Tongzhi also hurriedly said: "Your Highness, Master Xue, this person must have been sent by the mansion master's daughter to frame us."

"Your Highness, Master Xue, this is unjust! How can we afford to hire a killer? If we had money, my son would not have set his sights on Miss Yan." Wang Tongpan shouted the loudest. But his hands, hidden in his sleeves, were shaking.

Xue Guangen looked unhappy, and stood up to ask Ji Yunzhong: "Your Highness, look at this..."

Ji Yunzhong sneered: "Master Xue, are you unable to conduct the trial, or are you afraid to continue? This prince didn't know that the officials of Yanling Prefecture were so wealthy that they could afford assassins."

Even Yan Xiuyuan was so scared that he knelt down: "Your Highness, I didn't do that. If I had someone under my command, my daughter wouldn't have been bullied like this."

Ji Yunzhong snorted with an ambiguous meaning, but did not tell him to get up. He turned to Divine Doctor Mao and said, "Master Mao, please continue."

Doctor Mao fed Killer B another mantra pill. Doctor Mao asked the same question, and Killer B gave Killer A basically the same answer.

Shen and his two companions were arrested and shackled on the spot. They looked pale, knowing that their careers were over.

Seeing his father being arrested, Wang Wengui became desperate and collapsed, even forgetting the itch in his body for a moment.

The two killers and the distraught Wang Wengui were taken away and put into a cell.

Xue Guangen gritted his teeth and announced in court that all the people in Shilixiang Wine Shop were acquitted. He was as depressed as if he had lost his parents, and no longer had the arrogance and authority he had before.

Xue Guangen was planning how to deal with the aftermath after leaving the court, but unexpectedly Ji Yunzhong asked the yamen runners to bring Shen Canjiang and the other two to the back hall for immediate interrogation.

Xue Guangen hurriedly stopped him: "Your Highness, they are officials after all. It's not appropriate to interrogate them privately like this, right?"

Ji Yunzhong's eyes were filled with sarcasm: "What's wrong with having you, the inspector, here?"

Doctor Mao, Jian Yue, and Yan Xiuyuan were all left behind. Seeing Doctor Mao take out another Zhenyan Pill and force Wang Tongpan to eat it, Xue Guangen broke out in a cold sweat.

Where are the two that were promised? Why did another one appear?

Seeing this, Shen and Meng wanted to bite their tongues to commit suicide. But for some reason, their whole bodies felt sore and weak that they could not muster any strength.

Judge Wang quickly confessed his role in the poisoned wine case.

Xie Yulan wanted to plot against Jian Yue, and Wang Tongpan fanned the flames.

Then, Doctor Mao fed Meng Tongzhi another pill.

Xue Guangen: ...

Old Maozi! You are such a thief!

Meng Tongzhi took action against Doctor Mao's apprentice purely to avenge his son. He also wanted to force Doctor Mao to heal his son.

In the end, Shen Cangjiang did not escape the fate of eating the truth pill. He had no grudges with Doctor Mao and his disciples. The reason why he sent out archers was because someone borrowed them from him. This person had the second prince's handwritten letter and forced him to borrow them.

The man who borrowed the archers from Shen Canjiang was an aide to the Second Prince, Wu Wenbing. Wu Wenbing used the grudge between Meng Tongzhi and Wang Tongpan and Jian Yue to unite the two families to deal with Doctor Mao's apprentices. His ultimate goal was to seize Yan Lingchun's winemaking recipe.

Meng Tongzhi and Wang Tongpan also revealed that Xue Guangen was assigned to inspect Yanling Prefecture by the second prince in order to ensure the smooth progress of the poisoned wine case.

When Xue Guangen's name came out of Meng Tongzhi's mouth, Xue Guangen could not stand and collapsed to the ground.

He is the second prince's party. If something happens to him, the second prince will also be affected. If the second prince does not want his ambition to be exposed to the sun, he will definitely cut off his tail to survive. Then he...

The truth of the poisoned wine case was revealed. Brigadier General Shen, Xue Guangen and three others were taken to jail and awaited their fate after Ji Yunzhong reported the case.

After leaving the government office, Yan Xiuyuan looked at Jian Yue with a guilty look on his face: "Yue'er, you have been wronged."

Jian Yue had a cold expression on her face and said calmly, "My father's love always comes too late. If I didn't have the medicine given by my master, I would have been taken by Wang Wengui. I wonder how my father would deal with me, his innocent daughter, at that time?"

The guilt on Yan Xiuyuan's face was cracked inch by inch, and he was speechless for a moment.

Jian Yue felt a little disappointed.

She was becoming increasingly unable to understand this father.

He said he didn't care about his lost and found daughter...
