A car accident, our family of three crossed

Just as the discussions of the people watching the excitement outside the venue had not yet subsided, a loud shout suddenly came from the crowd: "Sir, I can testify that this person bought arsenic from our Xinglinxuan Pharmacy not long ago."

In the court, the county magistrate heard the words and immediately called out, "Who is making noise outside the court? Come up and answer immediately."

The crowd watching the excitement consciously made way for them, and two men walked in from outside the crowd.

"See my lord."

After entering the court, the two men bowed to the county magistrate one by one.

"Who are you? Stand up and answer the question." As a witness, you don't have to kneel all the time.

After Yang Dongsheng stood up, he introduced himself, "I am Yang Dongsheng, the owner of the Xinglinxuan medicine shop in the south of the city."

"I am Yang Min, a shop assistant at Xinglinxuan Pharmacy." After the shop assistant saluted the county magistrate, he told everything he knew without waiting for anyone to ask, "Sir, not long ago, our Xinglinxuan sold arsenic once, and the person who bought the arsenic was this person."

In order to prevent Lin Laoliu from continuing to quibble, Yang Dongsheng held out the account book and said, "Sir, this is the account book of Xinglinxuan. It records the day when the arsenic was sold from the shop, as well as the identity of the buyer. Please take a look."

After the county magistrate looked at the account book, he asked Lin Laoliu in a stern voice, "Lin Laoliu, what else do you have to say now? You are not going to say that these people who have nothing to do with you are teaming up to frame you, are you?"

Lin Laoliu wanted to say so, but now the evidence is irrefutable and he can no longer argue. In the end, he can only give up struggling and tell everything.

Behind the whole thing, Master Mei and the county magistrate's wife were involved. These two were the masterminds behind the scenes, and Lin Laoliu was just a villain who did the master's work.

Everyone present was shocked when they heard this. They once again cast strange looks at the county magistrate standing at the side of the court. They finally understood why the scholar Hang had said that this matter was closely related to the county magistrate.

Peng Desheng was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. What was going on? How did this get involved with his family?

He staggered and nearly fell on the spot. He quickly steadied himself and pointed at Lin Laoliu and angrily said, "Nonsense! Why did you involve my wife in the trouble you committed? Tell me, who told you to make up such a story? How dare you slander the family of an official so openly?"

Although he had lost his feelings for Mrs. Wan, she was still the wife of the county magistrate. If anything happened to her, he would be held responsible.

"I didn't slander you. Everything I said is true." Lin Laoliu crawled on the ground, raised his head and glanced at Peng Desheng, and continued, "The county magistrate's wife saw that the eldest lady's rouge shop was doing a booming business and wanted to take it for herself. She originally planned to ask the eldest lady for it directly, but the eldest lady did not agree to her request. Later, the county magistrate's wife found Mr. Mei and planned to bring down the eldest lady. As long as the eldest lady was gone, the shop would be in her hands."

Peng Desheng wanted to refute something, but was scolded by the county magistrate. "Peng County Magistrate, shut up. As an official of the government, you should know how to avoid suspicion. This matter involves someone in your house. If you dare to say one more word, don't blame me for accusing you of harboring a criminal."

"Please calm down, my lord. I just don't believe that anyone in the palace would do such a thing to steal money and kill people."

"Whether it is true or not, just bring the person here and we will know." The county magistrate immediately ordered the constable to go to the county government and Mei Mansion to bring people over.

During this period, under Hang Shuheng's defense, the county magistrate declared Mei not guilty on the spot and allowed her to be released on the spot.

Mei knelt for the whole morning and felt as if her knees were no longer her own.

After she kowtowed in thanks, she stood up and stood there for a while before slowly moving to the side to wait. She wanted to wait here until the final verdict of the case was announced, until those who had harmed her got the ending they deserved.

The detectives sent out were divided into two groups and quickly brought Wan, Mr. Mei and his wife, and others to the yamen.

After being questioned by the county magistrate, both parties denied it, saying that they did not instruct Lin Laoliu to buy arsenic to harm people, and that all this was done by Lin Laoliu on his own initiative.

They all readily admitted that they were indeed coveting Mei's rouge shop.

Wan said, "Sir, I do want to buy the Rouge Shop, and I have approached this Madam Mei privately, but we have not been able to reach an agreement several times. So I approached Master Mei, hoping that he would mediate between us. However, I have never expressed my thoughts on Madam Mei, so please understand."

After saying these words, Wan stopped talking. She had already thought of these words when they first started planning, and she had made them flawless when she discussed the plan with Master Mei.

She did not clearly express what she wanted to do with the Mei family. The specific details were all handled by Master Mei. She did not participate in the whole process. She just promised that after the matter was accomplished, she would only take over the rouge shop, and everything else would be up to Master Mei.

But Master Mei's testimony was: "Sir, no matter what I am, I am still Mei's biological father. Over the years, my daughter has become more and more unruly, disrespectful and unfilial, and never takes her elders seriously. I just want to teach her a lesson, but I definitely did not instruct Lin Laoliu to buy arsenic to harm people! I would never dare to do such a thing as stealing money and killing people."

He paused here, then pointed at Lin Laoliu and said, "He has a grudge against the Mei family. He hates the Mei family for driving him out of the Rouge Shop, so he bought arsenic in the name of the Mei family to harm people. He did all this to vent his own anger."

After a long conversation, Master Mei pretended to be heartbroken and said to Mei: "I told you to move back home a long time ago, but you didn't listen. How can your father feel at ease if you are a divorced woman living alone in a separate house with no one to rely on?"

Mei felt disgusted when she saw his expression, so she turned her face away coldly and ignored him.

When the people watching the excitement outside saw Mei's attitude, they couldn't help but think that she was too cold-blooded and heartless to treat her own biological father so coldly.

"Why is Madam Mei like this? He is her father after all! Isn't Master Mei concerned about her safety? How dare she be so rude to her own biological father."

"That's it!"

Mei turned a deaf ear to the discussions behind her. She was already tired of hearing these words.

She once heard Song Ning say this: When you have no moral sense, others can no longer use morality to hold you hostage.

When she heard it, she thought it made a lot of sense, so she agreed with it very much.
