The Shuntian governor’s eyes fluttered at the sound of the drums, “Bring me the man who is beating the drums.”
Can’t you see that the court is in session? Don’t you want to live?
The magistrate ran out and quickly came back with an odd look on his face, “Master, the drummer said he was here to expose the person who poisoned the soap.”
The Shuntian Prefect’s eyelids jumped even harder. He looked at Song Wan Yue, and then at Xu Yan and Xiao Zheng, wondering if they had been prepared for this, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence that he had just found out that the soap was poisoned, and then someone came to his door to expose it.
“Bring the man up.”
Zhang Zhuan was brought to the hall and knelt down, “I am from Qingping County and have come to the capital to sue my cousin Wu Sheng, who tampered with the herbs I delivered to the Song family’s workshop, causing problems with the pills made by Miss Song.
Now the Shuntian governor’s eyelids were not only jumping, but his heart was also beating wildly, how could this involve the Song family’s pills? What was he going to do about it?
In his desperation, he slapped the wood heavily, “How dare you, didn’t you say you were here to expose the person who poisoned the soap?”
“Your Excellency doesn’t know, my cousin is a member of the Wu family, the same Wu family that was the former Duke of Qi’s residence, they counted the death of the Duke of Qi on Miss Song’s head and have always wanted to take revenge. I once heard my cousin let slip that he would find a way to poison the soap after he returned to the capital to ruin Miss Song’s business, or better yet, send her to jail.”
Surprisingly, the Wu family was involved again. Not only did the Shuntian governor’s place hurt from being scalded, but even his head started to hurt. He knew that once the matter involved Song Wangyue, it would definitely not be that simple.
The father and daughter of the Minister of Household Affairs also did not expect such a turn of events and looked very bad, wanting to bring things back to what they had just done. The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.
“Not bad ……”
The government’s government is also responsible for the development of a new system that will allow it to be used as a tool for the development of the new system.
My daughter has ruined her face, and I can’t afford to lose all my work at this time.
“This is not good enough ……”
Xu Yan, who hadn’t said a word since going to the hall, opened his mouth. He had not spoken since Yue’er had not fallen behind just now.
“Since it was someone who poisoned and framed us, Lord Prefect naturally has to investigate and clear our names.”
“Brother Xu is right! This business also has a share of our Ding Guo Gongfu, and poisoning the soap is an attempt to frame our Ding Guo Gongfu. Your Excellency must investigate and clear our names.”
Xu Yan is the fourth prince’s husband, and although Xiao Zheng only has an idle position, his father, the Duke of Ding, is not a man to be trifled with, and there is a concubine Xian in the palace who is favored by the emperor, the governor of Shuntian cannot afford to offend him, nor dare he, “Someone, go get Wu Sheng!
The magistrate took orders and went to the Wu family.
The first time I saw this, I knew that the emperor had listened to what he said. He had been waiting for the emperor to investigate Song Yin, but three days had passed and the emperor hadn’t moved.
The steward came in in a panic, “Master, the officials are here, they want to take the second young master to the Shuntian Palace.”
Wu Jin’s heart skipped a beat, “I’ll hold them off, you tell the second young master to go through the back door and find a place to hide first.
The butler hurriedly went to tell Wu Sheng.
Wu Jin patted his face and calmed down before going to the door.
He was now an ordinary citizen and did not dare to take a stand. He bowed to the few officials, “I don’t know what my second brother has committed to bother the few officials to come to the door.”
They heard that a few days ago the emperor had asked Eunuch Huang to personally call Wu Jin into the palace so that he could see the imperial concubine one last time, so the officials didn’t dare to treat him like any other ordinary citizen, “Someone has accused the second young master of poisoning, we need to bring him in to confront him, so please let him come out quickly.”
“My second brother happens to be out of the house, please come in and wait for him for a while, I’ll send someone to find him.”
The officers looked at each other and were about to walk in when they saw one of them carrying a man, who kept struggling, “Let go of me, let go of me!”
Hearing the familiar voice, Wu Jin’s face changed dramatically.
The man threw Wu Sheng in front of a few officers, his face expressionless, “This is Wu Sheng, trying to sneak out through the back door.”
Several of the officers’ faces also turned unpleasant, and immediately held Wu Sheng down.
Wu Sheng struggled, “Song Yin, I’m not finished with you.”
He was Song Yin!
Wu Jin clenched his fist and looked at Song Yin, the hatred in his eyes could not wait to turn into a knife to lynch Song Yin.
Several officers had heard of Song Yin’s name and knew that he had fought in the battlefield, so they cupped their fists, “Thank you, Sir Song.”
Song Yin did not take credit, “I also did it for Yue’er, so you should take him back quickly.”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Wu Jin wanted to chase after him, but he stopped hard, he was the only one left in the Wu family now, he couldn’t afford to have anything more happen to him.
The officials ignored him and went straight to press Wu Sheng back to the Shuntian Palace.
Wu Jin stared gloomily at their distant backs, “Prepare the horses!”
When the horses were ready, Wu Jin rolled onto them and beat his horse to the Grand Prince’s residence.
The Grand Prince was informed and had someone take him in.
Wu Jin entered and knelt down on both knees, “Your Highness, if you can save my brother, I will give everything the Wu family has, including the power we have cultivated over the years.”
The Grand Prince was somewhat moved, the Wu family must have secretly cultivated a lot of forces if they wanted to support the oldest to the throne in the first place, if they could use them for themselves ……
The first thing you can do is to tell me what your second brother has done.”
Wu Sheng was screaming all the way, saying that he was unjustly accused.
He knew in his heart that whether it was smearing the sack containing the herbs with severed intestine herbs or poisoning the soap, it was done very stealthily and would not be discovered.
But when he went up to the public hall and saw Zhang Zhuan, he felt that things were bad and pre-empted the attack, “Cousin, why are you here? Did someone threaten you ……”
He took pity on Wu Sheng’s difficult situation, every time Wu Sheng went to Qingping County he treated him well, and gave him silver before he left, but in the end he hurt him, “You still have the face to say, where have I wronged you, how dare you want to harm me?”
“What did cousin say, I don’t understand.”
Zhang Zhuan placed the parcel he had been holding in his arms on the ground and opened it, inside were two sacks, he pointed to one of them, “Your Excellency, this is the sack we use in our medicine shop for herbs, it is specially marked, every time we fill it with herbs on the first night and send it directly to the Song family workshop the next day. The last time we sent the herbs, my good cousin insisted on going with us, but I didn’t notice anything wrong until something happened at the Song family’s workshop. It was only when my good cousin suddenly returned to the capital that I noticed something was wrong and had his room searched, and found a sack inside, identical to the one in our pharmacy.
