The younger sister-in-law falsely accused the sickly uncle and ran away with the baby

Shen Hua quickly shook her head. "No, this time the medicine was given to me by Shen Shu. It's more than what my father gave me. He asked me to put the remaining unused medicine in the secret compartment under the innermost cabinet on my kang."

The county magistrate immediately sent someone to get medicine from painter Shen.

Next up was Shen Shu. As soon as he arrived at the court, he thought he had seen his savior and started cursing, "Yu Ruyue! You bitch! Are you jealous of my impending success, so you teamed up with outsiders to frame me?"

"I tell you, even if this is the case, I still won't like you. There is only Su Meier in my heart."

Seeing the two of them like this, the county magistrate asked curiously, "What is your relationship?"

Shen Shu immediately straightened his back and shouted, "There's nothing between us, sir. Don't be fooled by this bitch. I'm a scholar at Tiande Academy, and I want to be an official. The Li family, the richest family in Lu County, is ready to train me with all their strength!"

"This woman is just jealous!"

Yu Ruyue bowed respectfully and replied, "Your Excellency! I was originally married to this man, but he ran off for Su Mei'er on our wedding night! He never returned home after that. The Shen family said he was dead. I accidentally discovered that he was not dead, but was hanging out with other women all day, even calling them husband and wife. When I found out, he was so angry that he divorced me."

Zhao Hui immediately whispered beside him, "Sir, I can testify to this. This Shen Shu is just like his father. He is idle and favors his concubine over his wife. I was present when he divorced his wife."

The county magistrate looked at Zhao Hui with a strange look again.

"You, since when did you even get involved in matters between husband and wife? And don't you notice that you've been talking a lot today?"

Zhao Hui replied respectfully, "Your Excellency, this is simply my duty!"

The county magistrate cursed inwardly, this man was still as pretentious as ever.

But Shen Shu was still howling, which made him annoyed.

"Alright! Since you're not being honest, drag him down and give him 50 lashes. Then bring him back up and I'll see if he tells the truth."

When Shen Shu heard this, he immediately laughed out loud and looked at Yu Ruyue with a sinister look in his eyes, "Did you hear what the county magistrate said? I think it shouldn't be 50 lashes, it should be 100 lashes. Only people like you who talk nonsense can get old..."

Before he could finish his words, the officer grabbed his arm and dragged him away. He looked at the county magistrate who was getting farther and farther away from him and shouted in confusion, "Sir! Did they arrest the wrong person? They shouldn't be beating me, they should be beating Yu Ruyue!"

"Sir! I have a close relationship with the Li family!"

Snapped!

"Ah! It hurts so much! You hit the wrong person."

Snapped!

"Ah! Help! I need to call the police!"

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Just after the twenty strokes of the cane, an officer came running in and said, "Sir! Shen Shu has fainted!"

The county magistrate had Shen Shu carried in and poured a bucket of cold water over him.

Shen Shu suddenly woke up gasping and wailing.

"Ouch, my butt, help!"

The county magistrate immediately slammed the gavel, and the official next to him used the long wooden board in his hand to hit the ground, making a dong dong sound, and also uttered the sound of "wei~wu~".

The voice was so solemn and dignified that it made Yu Ruyue nervous.

Shen Shu naturally didn't dare to say anything more, especially when he heard that there were still thirty boards left to be beaten, and that Shen Hua and Feng Caier had confessed. He no longer dared to play any tricks and told him everything he knew.

Of course, he also said things that were beneficial to himself, and put all the blame on his father.

After all, he will be an official in the future, and he cannot have any stain on him. As for his father, instead of letting him gamble and cause trouble outside, it is better to lock him up in jail and let him reflect on himself.

It would be nice to wait until my son becomes a high-ranking official and then rescue him so that he can enjoy a peaceful life.

Anyway, it’s just poisoning, no one will die. Even if something happens, we should find the person who asked them to poison!

I just don't know if this little county magistrate will dare to go and look for him when the time comes.

"The man who poisoned my father is a big shot from Kyoto! If you guys know what's good for you, just let me go!"

After saying this, not only did the county magistrate frown, but even Zhao Hui realized that this matter did not seem as simple as it seemed.

Especially Shen Chou's life experience, there must be a big conspiracy behind it, a conspiracy that none of them can face.

When the bottle of poison was handed over, even though the county magistrate found the most powerful doctor in Lu County, he was unable to figure out what it was.

So much so that they were a little doubtful whether this was poison.

Finally, it was Zhao Hui who suggested feeding the bottle of poison to a death row prisoner who was to be executed today.

The county magistrate nodded immediately. "Great! Those condemned prisoners have committed heinous crimes. If they can taste this delicious food before they die, it will be worth their while."

So Zhao Hui immediately pulled the man up, and without diluting the poison, he forced it all into the prisoner's mouth.

After about a cup of tea, the prisoner who was originally alive and kicking suddenly convulsed all over, vomited blood, and fell straight down.

Lin Yihao pointed at the man excitedly, "Yes! That's what happened to Shen Chou that day. He was fine in the academy, but suddenly he started convulsing, spitting blood, and passed out. I went to see several doctors, and they all said he had this disease from the womb!"

Zhao Hui quickly asked the doctor next to him to take the prisoner's pulse. The old doctor held the prisoner's hand, his eyes full of confusion, and he even pulled out several strands of beard on his chin.

Finally, he could only shake his head and say, "Your Excellency! I'm not very skilled, so I really can't tell what kind of poison he was poisoned with. But judging by his pulse, it does seem like he has a disease he brought from the womb. It also feels like he's been in poor health for years, hasn't eaten anything good, and a cold has taken his life."

Zhao Hui then clasped his hands together, bowed to the county magistrate, and said, "Sir, this is a bandit I captured a few days ago. He's a very strong man, and he robs everywhere. The gold, silver, and jewels he found there would fill up a whole room. He's so well-fed that it's impossible for him to be poor."

"As for the illness brought from the womb, that's even more nonsense."

"It seems that the colorless and odorless thing is really a deadly poison."
