Lin Tao really remembered one thing. He said that he had seen Lin Zihui write an account book. Although he didn't know what was written in the account book, Lin Zihui cared about the account book very much. In the study, and the gold and silver jewelry that Lin Tao brought back after killing Wang Yun should also be in his study. No one is allowed to enter his study, and even if the eldest lady wants to enter, she must enter with his permission.

That being the case, Liu Yi gave an order to search Lin Zihui's home, and must find something useful.

……

Soldiers and policemen dispatched to search Lin's house at the same time. Yu Shi sat on the ground and cried loudly, making a fuss. After searching carefully, except for a small box of Yu Shi's jewelry found in the bedroom, there was nothing of value. .

Handing the found jewelry to Lin Tao for inspection, Lin Tao shook his head and said that these were not the things he took back from Wang Yun at that time.

It seems that the trip was in vain.

But at this moment, Clan Yu came to the yamen again, and cried in the dark in front of the door. Fortunately, the state government yamen is next to the Jiedu envoy's office, and there are very few people here, and occasionally passers-by are attracted to it, but the yamen servants and soldiers are all there. Standing outside the door, he didn't dare to approach, looked at it from a distance and left in a hurry.

Liu Yizhi was furious, and ordered that if Yu Shi dared to make trouble in the government office again, he should be arrested immediately. No matter how worried Yu Shi was, Lin Zihui would eventually be afraid that the government would really arrest her, so he could only walk away sobbing.

Not long after Mrs. Yu left, there was a sudden burst of drumming outside the government office.

Quan Zhe asked, "Who is playing drums outside the door?"

The yamen servant reported: "My lord, it is a young woman."

Quan Zhe frowned slightly, "A woman again? What's her name?"

The yamen servant said: "Returning to the master, she said that her name is Yao Qiao'er, and she is Lin Zihui's concubine."

Liu Yizhi couldn't help laughing and said: "Hey, I didn't expect Lin Zihui's wife and concubine to be really kind to him. The eldest lady just left after a quarrel, and this little concubine came to the door again, and even beat the drums. Let the old man fight, but at first sight Seeing these women is really a headache."

Quan Zhe said with a wry smile: "I, Master Zhizhou, have a headache."

Xiao Han said with a smile: "The one in front was crying, but this one has a different method. It seems that I have something to say. My lord, General Liu, why don't we listen?"

Quan Zhe said to the yamen servant: "Then bring it in."

"Yes."

After a while, a woman came in, but she was only in her early twenties, with long eyebrows and almond eyes, and handsome features, but her cheeks were slightly swollen, and there was a circle of gauze wrapped around her forehead. A plain silver hairpin was inserted obliquely on the top, and she was dressed in black blue clothes, which looked the most simple.

When they saw this woman, it was really difficult for everyone to put her and Lin Zihui's concubine status together. Just looking at the fat body and beaded hair of the eldest lady Yu Shi, and looking at this woman's haggardness and simplicity, It is simply not the same.

The woman knelt down in the hall and bowed her head to salute: "Minister Yao Qiaoer has seen three adults." Her hoarse voice was trembling with fear.

Quan Zhe asked: "Who is in the hall, report the name."

"My lord, Yao Qiao'er, a civilian girl, is Lin Zihui's concubine."

"Why drums?"

Yao Qiao'er clutched the corner of her skirt with both hands, and said timidly:

"Men'er, Min'er wants, wants to sue."

Quan Zhe asked: "Yao Qiaoer, who do you want to sue?"

Yao Qiao'er bowed her head and said in a low voice: "The daughter of the people wants to sue, the imperial doctor Lin and Lin Zihui."

Hearing this, the three of them were shocked, and Quan Zhe asked: "You, what did you say? Who are you suing? Say it again!"

Perhaps because Quan Zhe was shocked, the voice became louder, Yao Qiaoer trembled in fright, and lowered her head even more.

Seeing her terrified look, Liu Yizhi hurriedly said softly: "Yao Qiaoer, don't be afraid, since you are here, just say what you have to say, the general and my lord will make decisions for you."

He raised his hand and pointed to Xiao Han who was sitting under the hall, and said, "Do you know who he is? He is General Xiao, the commander of the Shenlong Army of the dynasty, and a second-rank official of the dynasty. If you have something to say, speak it out with confidence. No one dares to embarrass you."

Hearing this, Yao Qiaoer secretly looked at Xiao Han, and seeing his encouraging eyes towards her, she seemed to have a backbone for a moment. She raised her head, took a deep breath, and said loudly:

"The daughter of the people wants to sue the imperial doctor Lin Zihui."

Quan Zhe said: "I want to ask you, since you are Lin Zihui's concubine, why did you sue your husband-in-law?"

Yao Qiaoer was silent for a moment, her bloodshot eyes suddenly became moist, and she said, "Returning to my lord, the girl was originally a corner of a pear orchard in Xiangzhou. Three years ago, when Lin Zihui went to see the church meeting, the two of us met." Recognized, at that time, he loved the minnv in every possible way, saying that he wanted to marry me home. Originally, the minnv also worried that he had a fierce wife in his family, so although she was grateful for his infatuation, she never agreed to him , until half a year ago, he proposed to marry me again. Seeing that he had been sincere to me for many years, she married him and was willing to be his concubine. However, what I never expected was that , since he entered his house, he changed his face, he and the eldest lady tortured the women in every possible way, and the women were humiliated and miserable."

Speaking of this, she took off the gauze on her forehead, revealing a fresh scar the size of a coin, and said:

"This is what he left behind when he knocked my head against the pillar. It doesn't take much for adults to see that my face was hit by him."

She stretched out her left hand again, the little finger that had been broken and reset by him was still red and swollen, obviously a new injury.

He choked up and said, "This finger was broken by him."

Then he rolled up his sleeves, his arms were covered with bruises, and said: "This is because he fought with Da Furen."

Liu Yizhi, who looked directly at the scars, gasped.In anger, he slapped the table and said: "Lin Zihui! How can you be so cruel to a weak girl? How is it different from a beast?!"

Yao Qiao'er wept and said: "Ministers have always been timid and cowardly. They dare not confront the husband and the eldest lady, so they can only bear it by themselves."

Quan Zhe suppressed his anger, tried his best to make his voice as gentle as possible, and said, "Yao Qiaoer, since that's the case, I'll understand later, what are you suing Prime Minister Lin Zihui today?"

Yao Qiao'er wiped away her tears, slowly straightened her back, and said: "The imperial doctor Lin Zihui colluded with others, resold medicinal materials, spoofed fake ones, shoddy them as good ones, accepted bribes, murdered people, and ordered others to burn the arsenal."

"what?"

Liu Yizhi was stunned, Quan Zhe was stunned.

Xiao Han stared at Yao Qiaoer closely, and said softly, "Girl, get up and talk."

"Thank you, sir." Yao Qiaoer staggered to his feet.

Xiao Han said: "What did Lin Zihui do, don't be afraid, just tell what you know."

Yao Qiaoer raised her forehead and said, "Yes, my lord."

She took a deep breath and said, "Lin Zihui's study is never allowed to be entered, especially when he is not around, but one day, the eldest lady made an excuse to ask the girl to go to the study to grind, and the husband was not at home at the time, why did you want to?" I grind? Minnv knew that she wanted to deliberately frame me, but she dared not listen to her, so she went in, but I accidentally saw a booklet on his desk, so I flipped through it casually. It turned out to be a ledger..."

"Ledger?" Quan Zhe's heart tightened, and he asked, "Do you know what's inside?"

Yao Qiao'er said: "Ministers don't dare to read more, just took a cursory glance, it seems that there are names of medicinal materials, the names of Wang Yun and Lord Qian, and the amount of silver taels indicated."

Liu Yizhi cheered up and said: "Sure enough, there is such a ledger, it seems that it must be a ledger for dividing up the spoils."

Yao Qiaoer said again, "Although I saw it at the time, I never dared to tell it. Later, Da Furen really reported to Lin Zihui, and Lin Zihui beat me up. He broke my finger at that time. Knowing that he was afraid that I would see the account book, I lied to him that I couldn't read, so he didn't pursue it further."

Quan Zhe asked suspiciously: "You are husband and wife, doesn't he know whether you can read or not?"

Yao Qiao'er said: "My lord doesn't know that women of the people can read a few words. Although they don't know many characters, it's just that when they were in the Liyuan, the master said that a woman's ignorance is virtue, so most of the Liyuan women would say that they are illiterate. If not, he How could you let me go so easily?"

Quan Zhe nodded.

Yao Qiao'er said: "Today, Minnv also saw that the police went to search the study, but now the account book is no longer in the study. However, Minnv knows where it is, and she will tell you when she finishes speaking."

Quan Zhe showed joy and said, "Okay, you can continue talking."

Yao Qiaoer said: "One night a few days ago, I saw Wang Yun come to the house. He and Lin Zihui went to the study and talked for a long time. When he came out, he held a box in his arms and left in a hurry. Then A Tao entered the study, and we So I secretly eavesdropped outside the study, and heard that he and A Tao were plotting to burn the warehouse and kill Wang Yun. I was terrified, fearing that they would find out, so I hurried back to the room. An hour later, I heard the news that the warehouse was flooded .And on the second day, there was news that... Wang Yun died."

"Just two days ago, it rained at night, and Lin Zihui went home in the rain, and threw the clothes he took off to me for washing. The girl saw that his clothes were not only muddy, but also bloodstained, so she secretly hid the clothes , and now the clothes are in the women's room. Then the next day, I heard that A Tao was also dead. Needless to say, he must be the one who killed people and silenced them."

Liu Yizhi asked: "Yao Qiaoer, this general asked you, did you know that Mr. Qian went to your house?"

Yao Qiaoer replied: "Returning to my lord, this lord Qian went to the home yesterday evening, accompanied by Lin Zihui and the eldest lady, and the min'er was not by her side, but because the min'er had seen Mr. Qian's name on the account book, so Keep an eye out, they talked in the study after dinner, and the girls didn't dare to approach them, although they didn't know what they said, but before leaving, Lord Qian said something to Lin Zihui after he walked out of the study..."

"What?" Liu Yizhi asked anxiously.

"He said: Remember, don't do anything recently, so as not to be suspected. No matter what they ask, you must refuse to admit it. I will report to the adults when I go back. Let's talk about everything after the wind dies."

Quan Zhe pondered: "'Adult'? Do you know who is the 'Adult' in his mouth?"

Yao Qiaoer shook her head and said, "I don't know."

"A few days ago, Lin Zihui and the eldest lady buried the box containing the ledger at the foot of the east wall of the yard, with a stone on it. The blood-stained clothes he wore when he killed A Tao were on the west side Under the bed in my room."

Xiao Han let out a long breath, and said, "It seems that Lin Zihui's wife must know about the counterfeit medicine."

Liu Yizhi said: "Young General, do you mean to arrest Mrs. Yu?"

Quan Zhe patted the case and said: "I think it's feasible, then Mrs. Yu relied on her cousin Qian Chongshu and never took us seriously. Now it seems that she is also an insider of the fake drug case. Accomplice, it is not an exaggeration to arrest her for questioning."

Liu Yizhi nodded and said: "Since that's the case, let's arrest it."

Facing this unexpected harvest, Quan Zhe made a decisive decision and ordered the arrester to arrest Yu Shi immediately, dig three feet into the ground, and take out relevant evidence.
