Ji Yunshu said in front of everyone that Liu Zhi was full of lies. A trace of guilt flashed in the depths of his eyes, but he immediately straightened his body. He raised his hand and raised four fingers. He said to the magistrate, "This young one can swear to the heavens that there is not the slightest bit of deceit in my words. If there is any, then may the heavens strike me with lightning!"
After saying that, he became sad and fiercely glared at Ji Yunshu. "My wife was killed by you, and you dare to say that I'm lying? This is simply intolerable! It's all because of you, a vicious woman, that my wife and I were separated by life and death!"
His words were heart-wrenching.
He won the sympathy of the crowd.
The onlookers also began to point their fingers.
"This woman looks kind, but I didn't expect her to be such a vicious person."
"Exactly. As the saying goes, you can't judge a book by its cover! She looks beautiful and clean, but her heart is so black. "
"Those who are good-looking are all vicious."
"That's right!"
…
It was said that beauty was the source of calamity. Now, in the eyes of these people, not only was she a source of calamity, but she was also vicious!
Ji Yunshu heard a lot of gossip, but she didn't care. She was very calm about Liu Zhi's oath and accusations against her.
Because she was sure that Liu Zhi was a cold-blooded bastard who didn't have a single shred of humanity.
She said, "Young Master Liu, do you know how serious it is to lie in court?"
"I didn't lie!" Liu Zhi flatly denied and angrily said, "My wife was killed by you, and all the evidence points to you. Even now, you still refuse to admit it."
'Haha!'
Ji Yunshu didn't feel like beating around the bush and directly said to the magistrate, "Milord, the murderer isn't this commoner girl, but someone else."
The magistrate furrowed his brows and narrowed his eyes into slits. "Who is it?"
"It's this private school teacher, Liu Zhi, who keeps saying that this commoner girl killed his wife!"
"Ah?" The magistrate was surprised.
The people in the court were also very shocked.
The crime was clearly placed on Ji Yunshu.
How could she suddenly put it on Liu Zhi?
It was simply ridiculous.
The dead person was Liu Zhi's wife. How could he kill his own wife?
Magistrate Liu thought that he had misheard and glanced at the advisor standing beside him.
The advisor leaned closer and repeated, "That girl said that Liu Zhi was the one who killed the victim."
"Ridiculous!" Magistrate Liu's expression changed when he heard her words. He picked up the gavel beside him and knocked it on the table. "Do you know what you just said?"
Ji Yunshu replied with a straight face, "Of course I do."
Liu Zhi panicked and pointed at her. "You're slandering me! Why would I kill my wife? "
The magistrate also said, "That's right. The deceased was his wife. How could he be accused of killing a relative?"
Naturally, he did not believe it!
In the face of everyone's doubts, Ji Yunshu did not panic. "If I didn't have sufficient evidence, I wouldn't have said those words."
"Then why don't you tell me? What proof do you have?" asked the magistrate.
Everyone was curious as well.
He wanted to know if there was any mystery behind it.
Ji Yunshu knelt on the ground. She glanced at the old coroner and asked, "Sir, I'm sure you know that eating just a little bit of this wood turtle won't poison you, right?"
Coroner Zhou nodded. "Yes, eating just a little bit won't kill you! But if you eat it over a long period of time, it will. "
"But I've only met them once. It's impossible to poison them over a long period of time, unless they ate a lot at once."
"That's right."
Liu Zhi heard their conversation and immediately pointed at Ji Yunshu. "Then it's because you ate a lot of steamed buns that my wife was poisoned to death!"
What a vicious woman.
"Haha!" Ji Yunshu sneered at his lack of common sense. She asked, "Well then, Young Master Liu, let me ask you something. That night, did your wife eat all the steamed buns in front of you?"
"That's right." Liu Zhi said firmly, "There were two steamed buns in total. She wanted to give me one, but luckily I didn't eat it. Otherwise, I would have been poisoned to death by you." The corner of Ji Yunshu's mouth curled up as she questioned him, "Then, do you know that the stonefish's poison is also called strychnine? This poison is extremely bitter, and even a little bit of it is unbearable! What's more, it was a sufficient amount. Let me ask you, if I were really here
Your wife's steamed bun was filled with a large amount of foreign wood turtle, so how could she eat such a bitter steamed bun? Or did he eat it in front of you? "
Ugh!
Liu Zhi was speechless!
His body trembled!
Ji Yunshu turned to Coroner Zhou and said, "Old sir, since you know that it is a foreign wood turtle, you should know how bitter it is! Please tell me if what I said is true or false. " Coroner Zhou nodded again. "It is indeed as you have said. If you want to poison a person with a strychnine, you either need to do it over a long period of time, or you need to do it all at once. Therefore, the steamed bun must contain a large amount of strychnine. Since it is a large amount, it must be very bitter.
！ An ordinary person would not be able to endure it, so … "
"So this woman's death has nothing to do with the steamed bun, and it has nothing to do with me!"
"This …" Although this was the case, Coroner Zhou did not dare to make a conclusion.
He could only look at Magistrate Liu, who was sitting high up in the hall.
Waiting for him to make the decision!
Although Magistrate Liu was old, it was inevitable that he would be a little muddle-headed. However, he was not stupid.
Naturally, he understood Ji Yunshu's words.
He pondered for a moment before saying, "What you said is not unreasonable. It seems that it has nothing to do with you, but … if you didn't kill her, then why was there poison in the steamed bun? Was there poison in the deceased's body? How did she die? "
His wrinkled face was full of confusion!
Ji Yunshu said, "If Milord wants to know, it would be better to ask Young Master Liu."
"Him?"
Liu Zhi's complexion turned deathly pale. His eyes flickered, and even his originally straight back slowly hunched.
It was obvious that he was frightened.
Ji Yunshu asked Liu Zhi, "What, Young Master Liu doesn't want to say anything?"
Liu Zhi tried his best to maintain his composure. "What … what does it have to do with me?"
"What does it have to do with you? You murdered your wife, framed others, and repeatedly lied to them in court. I'm afraid that even your life won't be enough to pay for these three crimes. "
Ugh!
Everyone was in an uproar.
They looked at each other in dismay.
Liu Zhi pointed his halberd at Ji Yunshu and glared at her. "You … you're talking nonsense!"
It was as if he had a guilty conscience and flew into a rage out of humiliation.
Ji Yunshu seized the opportunity to grab his wrist and raised it high in front of everyone. She said, "If you don't want to admit it, then I will say it for you!"
