The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

The sound of horse hooves was urgent, and Qin Miaoxi came galloping on her horse like lightning.

She suddenly grabbed the horse's back with one hand, jumped into the air, leaped onto the stage with a nimble posture, and snatched the big knife from the executioner's hand.

"Sir, please spare his life!" Qin Miaoxi shouted loudly.

Shi Xinzhe frowned and said in a deep voice, "Qin Miaoxi, although you are the wife of a marquis, you do not have an imperial decree. You will be held accountable for trespassing into the execution ground."

Qin Miaoxi showed no fear, she looked him in the eye firmly and said loudly: "What if I have a legitimate reason?"

Shi Xinzhe responded categorically: "No legitimate reason will do."

"What if he's not the murderer?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Xinzhe's eyes glared, his brows raised slightly, and he snorted coldly, "With all the evidence, how can he not be the murderer?"

Qin Miaoxi calmly pointed at the tofu shop owner who was watching from the audience, "Because he is the murderer."

Everyone immediately looked towards the shop owner, who was staring at the stage in shock. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I don't have Cuihua."

"That's right, the couple has a very good relationship. He buys jewelry for his wife every few days. How could he kill someone?"

"That's right! It was that Sun Dong who couldn't stand the good relationship between the couple and Cuihua, so he killed her. How hateful."

Shi Xinzhe raised his hand to stop the panic below, and with a stern face, he asked Qin Miaoxi sternly, "Do you have any evidence for what you say? How can I believe your empty words?"

"The evidence is with him."

To prove his innocence, the shop owner searched the sleeves and clothes over and over again, not missing any details.

"Sir, I don't have any weapon on me!"

Shi Xinzhe looked at Qin Miaoxi again, but she said, "Sir, please ask a reputable doctor to come and see him. The evidence is really on him."

Their eyes met in mid-air, and Shi Xinzhe nodded in response, "Okay, I'll go get the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital immediately."

When the shopkeeper heard that the yamen runner wanted to call for the imperial physician, he panicked and said incoherently, "Why is this happening? I'm not sick, why do you need to call for the imperial physician?"

The bailiff paid no attention to the shopkeeper's anxiety. After receiving the order, he quickly turned around and left, running towards the Imperial Hospital.

Time passed quietly in the tense atmosphere. After about an incense stick of time, the yamen runner came back hurriedly on horseback with a middle-aged man.

The man had a calm expression, was dressed in a plain robe, walked hurriedly, and had an unquestionable majesty about him.

"Sir, Doctor Wang is here."

The man came up to Shi Xinzhe and said, "Master Shi, may I know why you have me here?"

Qin Miaoxi walked forward, pointed at the shop owner and said, "Please ask Doctor Wang to find some evidence on him."

Doctor Wang was bewildered and confused. He was an imperial physician, not a detective. He could easily find someone else to handle the task of finding evidence. Why bother looking for him?

Qin Miaoxi smiled meaningfully, "This matter cannot be handled without you."

Doctor Wang was skeptical but respectful, so he walked towards the shop decisively.

"You...don't come over here! I have nothing on me."

The shopkeeper retreated in fear, and his unusual behavior made everyone suspicious.

"It's just a body search by the imperial physician! What's there to be afraid of?"

"That's right. If there's any illness, the imperial physician can still diagnose it. For ordinary people like us, it's a rare opportunity to see an imperial physician."

The shop owner's body suddenly stiffened, as if a cramp had been pulled, and his original resistance stopped instantly.

He bit his lips tightly, his brows twisted into the shape of a "川" character, and his eyes revealed a hint of panic and uneasiness.

After a moment, he slowly lowered his head, staring at the ground, as if thinking about something. His hands unconsciously pinched the corners of his clothes, and his knuckles turned white.

After a while, he took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, looked at Doctor Wang, a glint of determination flashed in his eyes, and said, "Then you check it out!"

Doctor Wang was even more puzzled when he saw this. Was he some kind of wild beast from the wilderness? He was actually so afraid of him.

Looking at Qin Miaoxi again, he saw that she made a gesture of invitation to him. He took a deep breath and said, "Then stretch out your hand."

The shopkeeper slowly extended his hand and just as he placed it on the shopkeeper's pulse, Doctor Wang's expression suddenly became serious, his brows furrowed, and his sharp eyes fixed on the other person.

"Doctor...Doctor, I don't have any serious illness, right?" The shop owner was terrified by his gaze, as if the doctor would sentence him to death in the next sentence.

Doctor Wang said solemnly, "Bring up your other hand."

The shopkeeper didn't suspect anything and quickly handed over his other hand.

After Doctor Wang carefully examined her, he slowly said, "Your pulse is very strange."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he turned pale with fear, his lips trembling, and he asked in a tearful voice, "Doctor, what is going on? Am I... am I dying?"

Doctor Wang did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought. After a long while, he slowly said, "Your pulse indicates that you are one month pregnant."

? ?

Everyone thought they had misheard. A man getting pregnant? Isn't this just a fantasy?

The shopkeeper's eyes flashed with horror. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Doctor, you must have seen it wrong! I'm a man, how could I be pregnant?"

Shi Xinzhe asked incredulously, "Doctor Wang, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

Doctor Wang said solemnly, "I will definitely not be wrong. If Master Shi doesn't believe me, you can find another doctor to take your pulse."

Qin Miaoxi said, "Indeed, Master Shi, why not invite two more imperial physicians, two highly respected doctors, to take your pulse together."

Shi Xinzhe made arrangements without stopping and soon found four more people.

This time, he covered the shopkeeper's face with a veil before allowing everyone to take his pulse.

The four people's diagnosis results were the same, and they all believed that the store owner was pregnant.

Faced with this situation, the store owner could no longer deny it. After all, if only one person said so, it might be attributed to a misdiagnosis, but with five people asserting the same thing, it undoubtedly pointed to the truth.

Shi Xinzhe had a splitting headache. He rubbed his brows and muttered in confusion, "But how can a man get pregnant?"

Qin Miaoxi's eyes were firm as she said decisively, "He is not a man, but a woman. She is the tofu beauty Cuihua who has been murdered."

"Is this the evidence you're talking about?"

"Yes, since she is not dead, who is the dead person?"

Shi Xinzhe was suddenly enlightened. "Yes, who is the dead person?"

"It's her husband."

Qin Miaoxi walked up to her and asked, "Don't you admit it now?"

"I……"

At this time, another voice came from the distance, and Lu Qingchen rushed over at full speed, "The person has been found."

Wen Zhu followed him, pulling a middle-aged woman aside, saying, "This is Cuihua's longtime neighbor. She said Cuihua has a plum blossom-shaped birthmark on her arm."

Qin Miaoxi rushed forward, grabbed Cuihua's arm, and rolled up her sleeves. The conspicuous plum blossom birthmark instantly came into everyone's sight.

The crowd exploded in excitement, "This is really Cuihua!"

"Oh my God, she's not dead!" Everyone exclaimed one after another.

Cuihua's face turned pale, her legs went limp, and she collapsed to the ground with a thud, her eyes filled with fear and despair.

"No, that's not true! You're all talking bullshit!"

Suddenly, Cuihua shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice shrill and trembling. She stared at the people around her with eyes wide open, filled with hatred and anger.

"Cuihua is the tofu beauty, young and beautiful, and I'm fat and ugly, how could it be her?" She smacked her fat belly hard and shouted angrily, "That's right, I'm not her, absolutely not!"
