The female general of the last days returned to ancient times to raise a young prostitute
Chapter 143 Corpses Don’t Lie
Because of the freezing cold weather, Wan Liangjin lay on the ground all night. Although he was wearing warm clothes, he still fell seriously ill. He became delirious with a fever, and everyone in the Wan family was in a state of panic.
The judge had never expected that things would turn out like this. The man had an accident in the prison cell, and he didn't know what to say at all. He couldn't say that this man went to the prison cell to do dirty things for a woman, but ended up getting her and was knocked unconscious by the girl.
If this gets out, his official position will be over. After all, this cell is guarded by a special person. If someone who should not be in the cell appears in the cell, everyone can guess what is going on.
So this matter must be kept secret and not known to outsiders.
Mr. and Mrs. Wan did not think there was anything wrong with their son's absurd behavior. After all, it was their family's good fortune that their son would take a fancy to her.
But they didn't expect that a village girl would be so ungrateful and beat up their son. How could they not be angry?
That vixen must pay the price. She was such an ungrateful bitch. Even if she begged him to warm her son's bed, she wouldn't agree. She was going to send that woman to a brothel and let her experience what it meant to be unable to live or die. Madam Wan's eyes were filled with viciousness.
In the lobby of the government office, the judge sat high up in the hall, looking at Mo Rao and others with a gloomy expression.
The judge said loudly: Who is in the hall?
"Your Excellency, I am a commoner from Mojia Village, Mo Niang. Mo Rao's name has not yet been changed by the village chief, so it is still registered in the registration book as Mo Niang. Therefore, in the court, Mo Rao can only call herself Mo Niang."
The commoner girl is Wang Erzhuang's first wife.
The younger one is Wang Erzhuang’s elder brother, Wang Shizhu.
...
Everyone in the class introduced themselves clearly.
The magistrate shouted angrily: Wang Erzhuang died of poisoning in your restaurant. Do you admit it or not?
Mo Rao said in a deep voice: Admit it!
The magistrate slammed the wooden pillar in the hall and shouted angrily, "How dare you, a wicked man, do such a cruel and insane thing. It shows how vicious your mind is."
Come here, this person has confessed, let her sign and seal it.
Mo Rao raised her head and answered with a firm gaze, "Sir, I only admit that this person died in my restaurant, but I don't admit that this person's death has anything to do with our restaurant, so I don't admit this crime.
How dare you! The poison was found in the cellar of your restaurant. The evidence is irrefutable. What are you trying to say?
The people outside the lobby were shocked and broke out in cold sweats when they heard that the evidence was conclusive. Some of them often patronized the Xiangyun Restaurant. How could they not be afraid when they heard that the Xiangyun Restaurant had poisoned its guests?
Mo Rao asked in a deep voice: May I ask what kind of poison your Excellency has found?
He really won't give up until he sees the Yellow River. Come, please ask the coroner and the doctor to come to the court.
Soon, the coroner and the doctor hurried into the courtroom. The yamen runner showed the poison to the doctor, who confirmed that it was indeed rat poison.
To answer your question, this is definitely rat poison.
The coroner also said at this time: Sir, Wang Erzhuang's symptoms of poisoning are undoubtedly caused by rat poison.
"What else do you have to say?" the judge said angrily.
Mo Rao did not answer the judge's words this time, but turned to ask the coroner, "Sir, may I ask if there are any signs of poisoning on the deceased's body?"
The coroner said without hesitation: This man's lips are purple, and the residue in his stomach is exactly the same as rat poison.
Is that all? Mo Rao asked.
It has been confirmed that this person has eaten rat poison, explained the coroner.
Sir, can the deceased be carried up, Mo Rao asked.
"Okay, come here, bring up the body of the deceased," said several yamen runners, and they carried up the body of the deceased.
Under everyone's gaze, Mo Rao lifted the white cloth covering the deceased.
The person in front of me had dark purple lips, completely bloodless, as if shrouded by a mysterious dark force.
The deceased's fingers, which should have been slender and straight, now took on various strange bends, some slightly curved downward, others twisted into strange angles. Most shockingly, each of his fingertips glowed a faint black, as if stained with ink.
Looking at the man's nails, they were also shiny black, faintly emitting a chilling aura. Furthermore, his chest was a mess, with a crisscross of blood vessels clearly visible, and without exception, these vessels were experiencing varying degrees of congestion. Those engorged blood vessels resembled angry red earthworms, wriggling freely beneath his skin, a terrifying sight.
After careful observation and diagnosis, it was determined that this individual had not been poisoned by common rat poison, but rather had been exposed to an extremely rare and dangerous ghoul poison. Anyone poisoned by this poison will experience horrific symptoms, as seen here: fingers involuntarily bend and deform, and blood vessels throughout the body swell with extreme congestion, seemingly ready to burst at any moment. Crucially, the onset of this poisoning in this individual takes at least twelve hours; it doesn't take place immediately.
May I ask, doctor, am I right? The doctor was not bribed in advance, so he naturally told the truth: those who were indeed poisoned by the corpse ghost are all as the girl said.
I think everyone has heard of the corpse ghost poison, Mo Rao said to the crowd outside the hall.
Someone in the crowd said: The corpse poison is indeed as the girl in the hall said.
Could it be that this poison really isn't from the Xiangyun Restaurant?
It's hard to say, but there is no hatred between Xiangyun Restaurant and the Wang family. Logically speaking, they shouldn't poison people!
That's right!
There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and the topic they were discussing made the judge feel that something was wrong. He didn't expect that this girl actually knew something about poison. Now that there were so many people watching outside the hall, he couldn't force a conviction.
"You unruly person!" The county magistrate's eyes widened in anger, and he slammed the gavel so hard that the writing brush on the desk trembled slightly. "You are simply making up stories! Now there is witnesses and evidence, the proof is as strong as a mountain! And you dare to make me believe you with just a few nonsense words? Humph, what a joke!"
After saying this, he waved his hand and shouted to the crowd, "Come here! Drag this person away immediately and give him fifty lashes! I want to see if she can still hold her tongue after this beating!"
As soon as she finished speaking, two policemen as ferocious as wolves and tigers rushed forward, picked her up on the left and right, and tried to drag her out.
At this moment, Mo Rao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly shouted, "Sir, wait a minute! You are torturing a weak woman without asking any questions. Aren't you afraid of injustice?" Are you going to torture her into a confession? I am telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you can look at the body. The body will not lie.
If you insist on torturing me, don't blame me for being rude.
Just when Mo Rao was planning to make a big scene in court, an unexpected visitor came.
This man was the awe-inspiring and influential prefect. Normally, unless faced with a case of the utmost importance, the prefect would never step foot in court to hear a case. Why would he condescend to come here if he hadn't been entrusted with such a heavy responsibility?
When the Tongpan saw the prefect, he walked into the hall with steady and powerful steps, and hurriedly stood up in fear and trepidation, respectfully giving up his seat.
The prefect walked forward calmly and sat steadily on the main seat that symbolized power and majesty.
He glanced at everyone in the hall with a sharp gaze, then coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and began to ask about the case in simple terms... After understanding the case and finding out that the deceased was poisoned by a corpse ghost, the prefect carefully inquired about the doctor's condition.
After getting the exact answer, the prefect took a group of people to the corpse and observed it carefully. It turned out to be true, and it seemed to be exactly the same as what the woman in front of him said.
In this case, Xiangyun Restaurant should not be the murderer. Originally, there was no need for him to show up in such a case. After all, if the prefect had to judge everything, he would probably be exhausted to death.
The gentleman found him early in the morning and asked him to personally try the case. Without any other reason, he rushed over as soon as he finished the work at hand.
He didn't expect that this judge was so useless. Fortunately, he rushed over, otherwise there would be another unjust, false and wrongful case.
