The moon falling to the ground

He Zhixian was so angry that he slammed the gavel again: "The Jian family asked you to do this just to lock her up?"

Taoist Qingyun paused and said, "No, let me give her some drugs that can make people crazy..."

"Where did you get the drugs that make people crazy?"

"A girl gave it to me."

"Who is that girl?"

"Yes..." Taoist Qingyun suddenly tilted his head and fell silent.

The little Taoist boy from the Jian family and Nanxing were all shocked.

County Magistrate He was shocked.

This was the second time that the prisoner had died in front of him in the lobby. Who could bear this? He quickly asked Doctor Qi to check. Doctor Qi carefully checked it and frowned.

"Sir, the preliminary diagnosis is death due to acute blood stasis caused by caning."

Jian Yue frowned.

This is possible, but it mostly happens to elderly people who have been inactive for a long time. It is impossible for someone like Taoist Qingyun who is strong and healthy and in his prime. Unless...

She is just a peasant girl who has just become a disciple of a miracle doctor. It is abnormal for her to be able to see through the tricks.

"Sir, I happened to hear my master talk about a case two days ago." Jian Yue spoke.

Magistrate He was in a particularly bad mood, but he still patiently asked, "What case?"

Jian Yue cleared her throat and said, "Master told me about a case. Someone died suddenly after being caned in court. At first everyone thought he was beaten to death, but then a poison doctor happened to pass by. After examining the body, he concluded that the prisoner had been poisoned by a strange poison that could cause blood stasis. I heard that people who have been poisoned by this strange poison cannot be seen from their faces, and cannot be diagnosed by taking their pulse. Only the fingertips will show a purple halo. There will be bean-shaped white spots behind the ears. The longer it is, the more obvious it becomes."

Doctor Qi immediately checked Taoist Qingyun's fingers and behind his ears.

"It is indeed as Miss Jian said. There is a purple halo on the fingertips and bean-shaped white spots behind the ears." Doctor Qi said excitedly.

Magistrate He summoned the coroner to examine the body again, and his findings were the same as Doctor Qi's.

Magistrate He immediately ordered all the yamen runners who had come into contact with Taoist Qingyun to come to court. However, one yamen runner named Cao was missing. He was one of the ones who dragged Taoist Qingyun out of court.

According to other yamen runners, he used the excuse of going out to relieve himself and never came back.

Magistrate He immediately sent out yamen runners to look for him, and finally found Cao's body in a well.

County Magistrate He was both angry and frightened.

To be able to kill someone silently in the yamen, there must be either a traitor in the yamen, or the other party is a secret guard raised by a wealthy noble.

He suddenly realized that the person behind the attack on Jian Yue must be someone special.

But what is there for an ordinary peasant girl to be remembered by others? The only thing she can show off at the moment is her status as a disciple of a divine doctor.

Thinking of this, County Magistrate He was suddenly enlightened.

Next, he calmed down and interrogated the two little Taoist boys. The two little Taoist boys were from Kun Daoguan and were temporarily borrowed by Taoist Qingyun. The incense and candles were prepared in advance by Taoist Qingyun, and they didn't know where he bought them from.

It turned out that Taoist Qingyun had just been in Kun Dao Guan for less than two months. The Kun Dao Guan was not very clear about his background. They only knew that he was quite capable. Not long after he came, he was highly respected by the ladies in the back house and was often invited to the rich and powerful courtyards to perform rituals to exorcise evil spirits.

Nanxing also came out to explain. He had been following the divine doctor since he was a child and knew how to identify medicine. As soon as the incense was lit, he smelled the ingredients of the drug.

Taoist Qingyun's body was dragged away by the yamen runners.

The Jane family was tried separately again.

But this time, the Jian family's statements were surprisingly consistent. They all said that they wanted to teach Jian Zhaodi a lesson because she was disobedient and talked back to her parents.

But this "lesson" that can drive people crazy is too serious.

Finally, County Magistrate He fined Jian Dacheng and his wife five strokes of the cane each and imprisoned them for twenty days.

Jian Huaian and Jian Xiaohe were aware of the situation and blindly followed the instructions. They were warned in court and if they do so again, they will be dealt with according to the law.

Mr. and Mrs. Jian Dacheng were dumbfounded.

Being beaten with a stick and imprisoned, this punishment is already very severe, right? Once in prison, the reputation of the Jian family will be ruined. How can Jian Huaian take the exam to become a scholar?

Jian Huaian pleaded hurriedly: "Sir, my parents were impulsive and made a mistake, but they would never deliberately let their daughter go crazy. Taoist Qingyun may have deliberately made accusations in order to escape the crime. Please be careful."

Clear observation?

How can we investigate if all the people involved are dead? Who can confront the dead?

Magistrate He sneered.

If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked. Jian Huaian is not a good person either. He was not surprised at all that his parents treated his sister like this, which shows that he was also involved. It's just that his parents are in front of him, so it's hard to punish him.

He Zhixian said: "If you have any objections, I can start from the beginning. I will start from the birth of your sister. If it is true that she was abused in the countryside, her identity must be questionable. Children from the same family, even if their parents are biased, the difference is not so big."

Jian Huaian's face turned pale, and he immediately said: "Your Excellency has misunderstood. I have no objection. It's just that my family has been suffering from diarrhea for the past few days and is weak. If I am beaten with a stick and imprisoned, I am afraid my body will not be able to bear it. Please, Your Excellency, for Miss Yan's sake, let me off the hook."

Magistrate He sneered: "Thank goodness my body can't bear it."

Jian Huaian heard the sarcasm in Magistrate He's words, and hated him in his heart: He is just a small official, but he is meddling in so many other people's business. He might die without knowing how he died.

Just as Magistrate He was about to order the runners to drag Jian Dacheng and his wife away and beat them with a stick, Butler Yan arrived again.

Without waiting for him to speak, Magistrate He showed him Taoist Qingyun's confession and said pointedly, "Butler Yan, it's not that I don't want to give you face, but they are probably the first parents in Nanchang to have such vicious thoughts. Unless Miss Jian is not their biological daughter."

Upon hearing this, Butler Yan looked at Jian Dacheng and his wife, then at Jian Yue. There was indeed no resemblance between the two. However, Qian's appearance was somewhat similar to that of his young lady.

Butler Yan was suddenly startled and subconsciously looked at Qian's face again. Qian noticed that Butler Yan was looking at her, and she felt uneasy and lowered her head in a hurry.

Butler Yan went to look at the other members of the Jian family, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became.

He didn't pay attention the first few times they met, but this time he paid close attention and felt that his young lady was too similar to the Jane family.

At this time, Nanxing said: "My Lord, someone is deliberately harming the disciple of the Divine Doctor. The Divine Doctor will not give up even if he knows about it. Please investigate it to the end."

Steward Yan glanced at Nanxing and put down his confession: "Sir He, the young lady just heard that something happened to the Jian family, so she sent me here to check. Since this case involves the safety of the disciple of the genius doctor, Sir He should investigate it as he wants. Goodbye."

Butler Yan turned and left.

Leaving behind the desperate Jane family.

After leaving the yamen, Jian Yue and Nan Xing hired a carriage and went directly to Yue's house.

Jian Huaian's face was gloomy...
