Chapter 56 County officials tried the case

The next thing was easy to do. An Xiaoxiao and the guy asked and answered questions and answered, and the guy told him all about what he had done.

He first put the medicine into the patient's bowl, causing the patient to vomit blood and faint, causing him to die.

"Miss An, I didn't want to harm him." The young man said to himself, regardless of whether An Xiaoxiao believed it or not.

"There is another last question, who will give you the medicine powder?"

"I grind it with the medicinal materials in the store myself." The young man looked back at a dazed look, his eyes looked at An Xiaoxiao, and stopped for a while before speaking again.

"You've been grinding yourself? You are so capable of grinding medicine by yourself, otherwise I'll be your apprentice?" An Xiaoxiao smiled angrily. She reached out and took out the handkerchief from the young man's arms, stood up and sneered, "You guess, you protect her so much now, will she protect you like this tomorrow?"

Silly x, love-minded. An Xiaoxiao complains silently in her heart.

Seeing the handkerchief, the young man looked obviously panicked. He struggled to get up and reached out to grab it. An Xiaoxiao was merciless and kicked him on the shoulder with a slight silver light flashing, and the young man fainted immediately.

"Tie him and throw him in the woodshed, and take him to see the village chief tomorrow." An Xiaoxiao kicked the man directly at Dawu's feet and threw out a bundle of hemp ropes. Dawu raised his eyebrows, tied the man tightly, and carried it on his shoulders.

"Shopkeeper An, be gentle. At least I have been in your clinic for so long." Dawu teased.

Because of this, I can't forgive him. An Xiaoxiao's face was cold and she didn't say a word.

The clinic teaches the way to cure diseases and save people. He has been by his side for so long, but he doesn’t even have any compassion?

The county magistrate's sudden visit scared everyone in the village. The village chief urgently asked the whole village to gather in the village ancestral hall. An Xiaoxiao was not too slow. When she asked Han Er to carry the young man, when she walked to the ancestral hall, everyone had basically arrived in the ancestral hall. The county magistrate and the village chief sat in a high position one left and one right, and the villagers stood around.

Seeing her and Sanhan carrying people in, everyone looked at them with their eyes. The county magistrate looked a little unhappy and coughed a few times. Sanhan had never seen such a big scene before. The few people looked frightened, but An was calm and directed Han Er to throw the young man in front of the county magistrate.

The young man knelt down with his head down, without any intention of resisting, and explained everything clearly. The ancestral hall was silent, the village chief was surprised and angry, and even felt a faint regret. The county magistrate stroked his long beard, pondered for a moment, and said majestic: "What you said is the truth? Are you coerced?"

Yoho, who do you order? An Xiaoxiao stood beside her and rolled her eyes.

"Nothing is false." The young man replied weakly.

"Since that's the case, then I'll go to the yamen to question in the future." The county magistrate issued an order. Just as the yamen runners on both sides were about to come down to get people, An Xiaoxiao suddenly shouted slowly, and everyone's eyes instantly gathered on her.

"Why, you haven't come out yet, do you really want him to take the blame?" An Xiao hugged his arms and looked at someone with a burning look.

The villagers were all shocked. Everyone followed her gaze and focused on Li Xiucai.

"No, Li Xiucai, please let me go." An Xiaoxiao coughed.

Li Xiuchang stood there silently, and everyone looked behind him again and saw Li Chunhua with a gray face.

"Miss Chunhua, when I asked yesterday, he didn't spit out a word about you. Aren't you going to say something?" An Xiaoxia raised his eyebrows.

Li Chunhua's fingertips turned white and her eyes flashed. She hid behind Li Xiucai and forced a smile: "It's not my business, what should I say? What a joke."

"Look, what am I saying?" An Xiaoxiao sneered, squatted down and pinched the young man's chin and shook it gently, and said with a smile: "Listen to my advice, women's words are the most trustworthy."

The young man looked away as if he was stagnant and said nothing.

"Miss Chunhua, where did you buy the bracelet on your hand? This is a rare thing."

Before everyone could see clearly, they saw An Xiaoxiao had moved to Li Chunhua. She grabbed Li Chunhua's wrist, raised her high, and said in amazement: "I have never seen such a jade bracelet even after I went to the county town. Miss Chunhua is so lucky."

The jade bracelet is crystal clear under the sunlight, reflecting a warm luster. When a discerning person sees it, he knows that this is not an ordinary thing. Li Xiuchang was a poor scholar and had no spare money to buy such objects. The villagers booed and began to discuss it.

"It was my father who bought it for me! Dad, you talk!" Seeing that the county magistrate and village chief looked different, Li Chunhua was completely panicked. She grabbed the corner of Li Xiucai's clothes and said anxiously.

"It was me, I bought it for her." Li Xiucai lowered his eyes and his voice tightened.

"Brother Li." An Xiaoxiao smiled. She approached Li Xiucai and said meaningfully: "Even my family knows some truths. If you have studied the books of sages for more than ten years, can you be worse than a five-year-old child?"

Li Xiucai's body trembled violently, and he didn't say anything.

"Sir, please invite the treasure out quickly to test who is lying." An Xiaoxiao pulled Li Chunhua to the lobby and said aloud to the Gaotai County Official.

Li Chunhua was both ashamed and angry. She wanted to break away from An Xiaoxiao's palm, but was frightened to find that no matter how hard she tried, An Xiaoxiao held her wrist firmly, preventing her from escaping.

In a panic, her eyes met the young man kneeling on the ground. She saw that the other person's eyes were dead and there seemed to be mocking at the corner of his mouth. Li Chunhua's heart tightened and a layer of cold sweat was covered with her back.

The county magistrate and An Xiaoxiao looked at each other for a few seconds and nodded slightly. The yamen runner standing on the left understood and took out a bowl of objects covered with red cloth, looking like he could put down his two palms in parallel.

"This is a treasure I obtained by chance when traveling around the world, called the 'Lie Appraisal Basin'." The county magistrate knocked on the table to signal everyone to be quiet and explained: "The person being identified needs to put the two into the basin and count three numbers silently before he can take out his hands. The honest one has white palms, while the liars have black hands."

The yamen runners pressed Li Xiucai and Li Chunhua on the ground and lined up with the young man. Starting from Li Xiucai, they were allowed to penetrate into the basin one by one.

Li Xiu sighed and put his hand in. The two of them followed suit and continued to do the same.

"Palm is upward, stretch out your hands to check for the adults." After all the three of them reached out, the yamen runner took back the basin and knocked the ground with a scabbard. The three of them hesitated for a moment and all reached out.

Two black and one white, the only white one is Li Chunhua's hand.

Everyone was uproaring, and there was a lot of discussion around. The village chief sighed, as if he couldn't bear it, and turned his head away. An Xiaoxiao laughed out loud.

Li Chunhua was flustered. Before she could figure it out, the county magistrate turned cold and called out directly: "Take Li Chunhua down!"

"Dad! Save me!" Li Chunhua was so scared that she was bleak and wanted to hide behind Li Xiuchang. Li Xiucai also looked flustered and was about to protect her. The yamen runner pulled them away and pressed Li Chunhua to the ground.
