Wang rolled her eyes and glared at him, "What truth are you talking about? What I said is true. You've been bewitched by this woman and you've lost all sense of direction. Wake up!"

Wang spoke so loudly that Lin Sheng's head was buzzing.

County Magistrate Lin slammed the gavel and said, "Silence."

Chen Er said, "Master, my eldest brother died tragically, killed by a woman like this. It was so unjust. I beg you to bring the enemy to justice, so that my brother can rest in peace in his grave. It would be best if this liar was cut into pieces, which would be fair to those who were deceived by her."

Jin Yuyao stared at the county magistrate in the hall with red eyes: "You want to convict me without a proper interrogation? You should have said that Chen Da's body has not been examined yet. What right do you have to convict me?"

After hearing what Chen Er said, County Magistrate Lin wanted to have Jin Yuyao taken away, but the yamen runners had already arrived beside Jin Yuyao.

"stop"

At this time, Jin Yuyao saw Zhou Shaokang bringing Qingshan in.

When County Magistrate Lin saw Zhou Shaokang coming, he said, "Mr. Zhou, why are you here?"

Zhou Shaokang approached the county magistrate and said, "This Jin Yuyao is my doctor. I know very well whether she has medical skills or not. Your Excellency cannot convict someone based on slanderous words."

County Magistrate Lin Sheng said in embarrassment: "But the evidence is conclusive. You are putting me in a difficult position. Even her mother-in-law and sister-in-law have come to testify. His family should know whether he has medical skills or not."

Zhao Shaokang looked at Wang and Yunniang who were kneeling below.

Wang Jingshan became even more anxious when he saw Zhou Shaokang coming. Why hadn't the help he had brought come yet? He was not happy that Zhou Shaokang had come. If he had been any later, Yu Yao would have been convicted.

Jin Yuyao didn't expect Zhou Shaokang to come.

Lin Sheng asked someone to bring a chair to Zhou Shaokang.

"Mr. Zhou, please take a seat."

Zhou Shaokang sat down and said, "Since they are witnesses who prove that Doctor Jin does not have medical skills, then I am also a witness. I can prove that Doctor Jin does have medical skills, and he is much better than ordinary people."

Lin Sheng rolled his eyes and said, "If that's the case, then the evidence is still insufficient. How about we wait a few days and see?"

Zhou Shaokang looked at Lin Sheng and said, "There's no need for Magistrate Lin. This case is not that complicated. It's better to make the judgment today, otherwise it will be more troublesome."

Lin Sheng flattered, "Yes, yes, Master Zhou, what you said makes sense."

Zhou Shaokang knew that Lin Sheng probably only agreed superficially and wanted to delay it for a few days so that he wouldn't be paying attention. Doctor Jin was still convicted. Lin Sheng was a man who was used to saying what he said but disobeyed it.

Lin Sheng saw that he had no other options. Mr. Zhou was fine, but it was mainly because of his father and elder brother behind him. He couldn't afford to offend them, so he decided to try to appease the young master, and see what he could do with the solid evidence.

Lin Sheng flattered him, "It's okay. Since Master Zhou has objections to this, how about calling in the coroner to examine it again?"

Zhou Shaokang nodded and said, "Okay."

The yamen runner went down and soon brought in a thin old man.

The old man finished his greeting.

Lin Sheng said, "Old man Li, please examine Chen Da's body carefully again."

"It's an adult."

Zhou Shaokang said, "I've been very interested in autopsies lately. I wonder if I could go and take a look."

Lin Sheng smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, that place is very unlucky, it's better not to go there."

Zhou Shaokang smiled and said, "I just want to go and take a look. County Magistrate Lin wouldn't be reluctant, would he?"

County Magistrate Lin had no choice but to nod and say, "Of course, since Master Lin wants to see it, I will satisfy you. However, if Master Zhou can't bear it after seeing it and can't sleep, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Zhou Shaokang said, "Since I want to see it, of course I won't blame County Magistrate Lin even if I die. Don't worry about that."

Zhou Shaokang glanced at Jin Yuyao and then followed the coroner away.

Jin Yuyao watched Zhou Shaokang follow the coroner away, wondering if Zhou Shaokang would vomit at that scene. County Magistrate Lin was very cunning, and this autopsy might not be so simple.

Within an incense stick of time, Zhou Shaokang and the coroner came back.

The coroner bowed and said, "Your Excellency, another autopsy showed that the body died from taking cold medicine."

Zhou Shaokang didn't expect that when he was watching the autopsy, the result remained unchanged. The coroner and Lin Sheng might have colluded with each other for a long time.

When Jin Yuyao heard what the coroner said, she felt that she was finished. Hope was too slim. Should she just go with the flow? But that was not her character.

Outside, Wang Jingshan was so anxious that he was spinning around. County Magistrate Lin looked at Zhou Shaokang and smiled, "Mr. Zhou, everything depends on evidence. Now that the evidence is solid, Mr. Zhou, you have nothing to say, right? As a responsible official, I will never wrongly accuse a good person, nor will I let the murderer go unpunished."

Suddenly, there was a burst of clapping. "What County Magistrate Lin said is very good. I just hope you can do as well as you said."

Jin Yuyao turned around and saw a young man coming over, accompanied by Old Madam Liu and Mother Qin.

Wang Jingshan felt relieved when he saw Prince An coming and said with a smile, "You are finally here."

Lin Sheng said angrily, "Who are you? How dare you make a noise in the classroom?"

Li Jing'an looks like a rich nobleman, but he is more dignified than Zhou Shaokang.

Li Jing'an walked to Li Sheng's side as if no one was around. Just as the yamen runners were about to step forward, Mother Qin stopped them.

He walked up to Lin Sheng and took out something that looked like a token and showed it to Lin Sheng.

At first, Lin Sheng said, "You better leave now, or I will charge you with disrupting the court and you will be in big trouble."

After he finished reading it carefully, his legs went weak and he knelt down.

Just as he was about to open his mouth, Li Jing'an shook his head at him and said word by word: "Interrogate carefully."

Lin Sheng quickly arranged a seat for Prince An.

Lin Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Examiner Zhang, tell me everything you found out."

Coroner Zhang looked at Magistrate Lin in confusion. Magistrate Lin said anxiously, "Why don't you quickly bring us the real reason behind this incident?"

He then took out a copy from the box on his back and handed it over.

Shopkeeper Lin took a look and slammed the gavel: "Chen Er, there's an obvious wound on Chen Da's head. What's going on?"

Chen Er originally thought he had a sure win: "My Lord, where are your wounds?"

Lin Shengdao said, "It's impossible that taking Doctor Jin's medicine would cause injuries. The head wound is the fatal one. I saw the marks on the neck today."

Chen Er looked at County Magistrate Lin in confusion. Didn't they already agree on this? Why did the County Magistrate change his mind again? He changed his mind after someone just showed up. What was going on? Could it be that he didn't give enough money?

Chen Er defended himself: "I don't know."

Lin Sheng looked at Prince An ingratiatingly: "What do you think we should do?"

Prince An looked at him and said, "As a parent, you shouldn't ask me about this."

Lin Sheng ordered, "The death of Chen Da has no direct connection with Doctor Jin. Go to Chen Er's house and Chen Da's house and conduct a thorough search. Once the case is fully investigated, we will rehear it on another day."

After saying this, he looked at King An. King An didn't say anything, which meant he agreed.

Only then did Lin Sheng wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
