Chapter 252 Lord Wang's trial
"Who is kneeling under the hall?" Lord Wang patted the stunned wood and asked loudly.
"The maidservant's name is Cui Shuang, and she is a maid of Yanfu in Jiangdong."
"I ask you, Miss Cui, who are you?"
"It's the mother of the slave."
"Cui Shuang, do you know the criminal woman next to you? What's your last name?"
"If you go back to adulthood, her name is Lin Huazhi. In the past, I worked as a servant in Yan's mansion with slaves and maidservants.
"Cui Shuang, what happened on December 18 of the 27th year of the Ming Dynasty?"
Cui Shuang raised his eyes and looked timidly at Lin Huazhi beside him, with a hesitant look on his face, as if there was something difficult.
Lord Wang patted the wooden and shouted, "Cui Shuang, I will ask you what you want to say quickly."
May he was scared and squeezed his mouth. After thinking for a while, Cui Shuang whispered about Lin Huazhi's trip to Cui's house in the afternoon. Lord Wang asked, "Are there any omissions?"
Cuishuang shook his head, paused, and whispered, "Your Excellency, Madam is not harmed by Lin Huazhi."
"How to say this?" Lord Wang secretly looked at Cui Yuantong and Lin Yuyang sitting on the sidelines.
"Your excellency, Lin Huazhi will marry into the Yan Mansion soon. At this time, it is unreasonable to poison his wife."
"Lin Huazhi wants to marry into Yanfu? How do you know this? Tell me in detail."
"Lin Huazhi and my master have a deep relationship with each other. Although there have been various misunderstandings before, after so many twists and turns, Lin Huazhi and my master finally overcame various difficulties. The two can be together immediately. Even if Lin Huazhi has a bad relationship with my wife, she will not be stupid enough to move at this time. Hand damage, madam. What's the benefit of doing this for her?"
Lord Wang raised his eyebrows: "Cui Shuang, because you are friends with Lin Huazhi, you wishfully think that she will not hurt your mistress. But you are wrong. It is precisely because Lin Huazhi has a murderous motive that she chose to poison your master at this time and clear the obstacles for her to achieve her ulterior purpose.
"But...but, my lord, Lin Huazhi..." Cui Shuang didn't believe it and looked at Lin Huazhi beside him with a surprised face.
Lord Wang laughed proudly, suddenly grabbed the shocked wood and patted him on the table, and shouted loudly, "Lin Huazhi, can you plead guilty?"
"What are the sins of women?" Lin Huazhi's voice was faint and didn't seem to care about it at all.
"You hate because of love and hate that Yan Cui hinders you from having a good relationship with Yan Shaobai, so you are jealous. When Yan Cui is pregnant, you plan to poison Yan Cui and the child in her belly. The evidence in this case is there, and you still don't plead guilty?"
"Who is the ID card? Where is the physical evidence? Please make it clear." Lin Huazhi knelt with knee pain, moved her body slightly, and opened her mouth unwillingly.
"The witness is Cui Shuang beside you. She just mentioned that you have a bad relationship with Yan Cui, and your feelings are not smooth. You hate Yan Cui for hindering you and Mr. Yan, so you want to poison Yan Cui to replace him. This is your motivation for killing. As for the physical evidence... Come on, bring the physical evidence." Lord Wang waved his hand, and immediately a government official put a lacquered wooden food box on the lobby.
"Lin Huazhi, do you recognize this thing?"
"This is my food box. Here, there is a small forest character next to the branches and flowers on the lacquer box." The servant took the food box to Lin Huazhi. She looked at it carefully and then pointed out the mark.
"What is this bowl?" Lord Wang ordered the government official to open the food box and pointed to a blue, white porcelain cup inside and asked Lin Huazhi.
"This is the snow cream I specially stewed. I saw that Mr. Yan has been working hard recently, so I specially bought a 50-year-old turtle to stew all night.
"Lin Huazhi, are you sure this winter cream is a special tonic for Yan Shaobai?"
"Yes, this is what I carefully stewed, not for Yan Shaobai, is it for Cui Ting?"
After hearing her words, Lord Wang burst into laughter: "Lin Huazhi, don't you admit that you poisoned Yan Cui? Although you are just a girl's family, you know that pregnant women should not eat old turtles, because old turtle soup is the main cause yang fire. If weak women take it, it will cause dryness, blood, fever and even heavy bleeding. If pregnant women take it, they may miscarry.
After listening to Lord Wang's inference, Lin Huazhi couldn't help laughing: "I ate this thing for Yan Shaobai. Cui Shuang also said that when I sent it to Cui's house in the afternoon, I pointed out that it was for Yan Shaobai. What does it have to do with me that Cui Ting accidentally caused a massive bleeding abortion? I can only say that Cui Ting is unlucky. My lord found me guilty, and I don't accept it.
Lord Wang seemed to have known that Lin Huazhi would say this, touched his goatee, and said, "I knew that you would refuse in every way. Come on, please ask Dr. Jin to come to court."
Dr. Jin? Lin Huazhi's mind moved and turned her head to look behind her. After a while, she saw a woman coming in with the government service. She looked at it and saw that it was indeed Jinhou.
"Come on, show Dr. Jin a seat." Lord Wang knew that although Jinhou did not have an official position, he often walked in front of the empress dowager. There was a jade card given by the emperor, and he was also an unbearable person. The pleaser moved a seat and put it aside for Jinhou to sit on it.
"Thank you." Jinhou saluted and was not polite. After sitting down, he saw Lin Yuyang's gloomy face beside him and couldn't help smiling at him.
"Dir Jin, please come to assist me in handling the case. Please tell me the truth." Seeing that Jinhou nodded, Lord Wang continued to ask, "D. Jin, what did you find in this bowl of winter cream?"
"This bowl of snow cream is stewed with high-quality old turtles to replenish qi and strengthen yang. For men, it is indeed a good thing. Eating it properly is also good for women's health. However, there is one more thing in this bowl of snow cream. If it is taken by pregnant women, it can be fatal.
"Dare to ask Dr. Jin, what's in this winter cream?" Lord Wang said this and looked sideways at Lin Huazhi with a proud look. However, his eyes were wrong. Seeing Cui Yuan's gloomy face, Lord Wang quickly put away the smile on his face and pretended to be righteous.
"The extra thing is mandala pollen." Jinhou's cold voice sounded in the lobby. Cui Yuan and Lin Yuyang, who sat aside, looked back at Lin Huazhi. The former looked at Lin Huazhi with hatred and wanted to eat his bones, while the latter couldn't believe that there was deep pain and pity in his eyes.
Jinhou paused and continued: "There is a cloud in the Compendium of Materia Medica: mandala flowers are warm and poisonous. After drying, mandala flowers can be ground into white powder and put in water, colorless and tasteless; because of their mild nature, they are generally not easy to detect after eating by mistake.
Lord Wang inserted a sentence: "What's the effect of putting mandala flowers in the winter cream?"
Jinhou smiled and opened his mouth and said, "Snow winter cream is stewed with old turtle soup, and its main fire is strong. Putting mild mandala flowers in the snow cream could have neutralized the intensity of the snow cream, but the mandala flower is not only poisonous, but also has the function of paralysis. If it is eaten by pregnant women with coldness, even if it does not cause heavy bleeding, it can also make the pregnant woman's belly unconsciously die due to poisoning.
Lord Wang could no longer hide his smile at this time. He picked up Jingtang and patted vigorously and raised his voice, "Lin Huazhi, do you still want to quibble at this time? This mandala flower is only planted in Dufu in the south of the capital. You went to Dufu several times to ask for its flowers. You obviously said that you would help Yan Cui, but secretly secretly put the mandala flowers into the winter ointment and took the opportunity to poison Yan Cui. Because you know that Yan Cui doesn't like you. Once she knows that you send food to Mr. Yan, she will take the opportunity to take it by herself. Only Yan Cui has eaten the snow cream you specially prepared, which will not only be life-threatening, but may even cause Yan Cui's tire to slip. In this way, you can take the opportunity to approach Mr. Yan and even ascend the position of mistress.
Lin Huazhi couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Lord Wang is really awesome. You have roughly said everything."
Lord Wang is even more proud: "I am as wise as a torch, and I will never let go of any prisoner. Come on, let the criminal woman confess. After I report it, I will choose a day to declare the sentence. After saying that, he picked up the Jingtang wood.
"Wait a minute." Lin Huazhi raised his voice and said, "Your Excellency, you speculate indiscriminately. Why are you convicted? In addition, can women plead guilty? What's the bet if you don't plead guilty? Anyway, I'm also an official lady. Can adults be convicted at will?
It was only a little short. Lord Wang saw that the shocking wood in his hand was about to fall. Hearing Lin Huazhi's question, Lord Wang was suddenly shocked and hurriedly looked at Cui Yuantong and Lin Yuyang. It's okay if you don't look at it. This look made you sweat coldly. Both Cui Yuan and Lin Yuyang stared at him viciously, with the intention of swallowing him alive.
Lord Wang was covered with cold sweat, and he almost made a big mistake. Without a trace, he gently put the Jingtangmu in his hand aside. Lord coughed and asked, "The human evidence and material evidence are all there. What else are you dissatisfied with Lin Huazhi?"
"Your Excellency, I did take mandala flowers from the Du family, but I am an ignorant woman. How do I know that mandala flowers can't be put together with snow cream?"
Lord Wang was stunned. Yes, this mandala itself is a rare thing in Beijing. If you are not familiar with its medicinal properties, you don't know that this mandala flower can not only save people but also kill people. Lord Wang was speechless for a moment and muttered for a long time without saying a complete word.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Cui Shuang whispered, "I heard that Lord Lin learned medicine from Dr. Jin. Mr. Lin can be the top student in high school at a young age and must be a smart and witty person. Maybe, I don't know when I spilled the beans.
When Lord Wang got this, his eyes lit up and shouted, "Yes, Lin Huazhi, why do you claim to be an ignorant woman? Everyone in the capital knows that Lord Lin has a deep affection for your sister and brother. In order to poison Cui Ting, you specially took the use of this mandala flower from Lord Lin's mouth, and then quietly went down to the snow and winter cream. You don't know what you think you're doing, but you don't expect that a hundred secrets are sparse, and finally reveal flaws.
Lin Huazhi was stunned when she heard Lord Wang's words. Seeing her like this, Lord Wang became more and more convinced that Lin Huazhi was the murderer. He suddenly stretched out his hand and went to catch his shocking wood.
"Adults are eloquence, but women still don't accept it." Lin Huazhi raised his voice again.
Two times, Lord Wang was rebutted by Lin Huazhi, and Lord gradually became a little angry: "A bold offender woman, and repeatedly quibbles in front of the facts. I thought you were a woman and had pity for you and did not want to commit a great punishment. But you are stubborn. It seems that you have to serve with a great punishment. Come on, torture."
" Stop it!"
Lord Wang's words came out, and Cui Yuan and Lin Yuyang beside him could no longer sit still and stopped Lord Wang from execution with one voice.
Lord Wang, the governor of the nine cities, is just a five-grade official. Seeing Cui Yuan and Lin Yuyang speak out, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed: "Two lords, I'm afraid it's impossible for the guilty woman who refuses not to plead guilty."
Lin Yuyang stared at Lord Wang fiercely, but he didn't know what to do for a moment, so he had to turn his head and look at Cui Yuan. Cui Yuan pondered slightly and then said, "Lord Wang, I think there are still many strange things about this matter. Lin Huazhi has been insisting on refusing to plead guilty. She must be sure that she is innocent. Should you listen to her opinions? In order to avoid a wrong case."
Lord Wang forced a smile. Well, what else can he say for this? No way, Lord Wang had to turn his head and look at Lin Huazhi and ask again, "Okay, Lin Huazhi, you insist on not confessing guilt, but do you want to prove your innocence?"
Lin Huazhi glanced at Cui Yuan and smiled gently: "Your excellency, I am indeed innocent. And I have witnesses to prove that the murderer is not me.
"Oh?" Lord Wang thought for a moment, "In that case, you call your witness."
"Thank you for your success." Lin Huazhi raised her eyebrows and looked back at Cui Shuang and whispered, "Cui Shuang, you must want to see these two people very much."
A trace of panic flashed quickly from the bottom of Cui's eyes, and his face also became a little pale: "Hua... Sister Huazhi, who is it?"
