A female coroner arrived at the Jingzhao Prefecture.

Chapter 424 Ending (93)

Mu Yan presented the madwoman's confession and autopsy report.

Song Zi really didn't expect that things would suddenly take such a turn, and that it would even coincidentally allow Mu Yan to obtain the evidence!

She was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized something, and was overwhelmed by fear. She hurriedly looked away and dared not look at the person she had been longing for day and night.

After reading it, Song Shuyu routinely questioned Song Zi, "Does the Empress Dowager acknowledge this matter?"

The bailiffs took the cloth away.

Song Zi was released from her veil, but she didn't want to say a single word.

She had been deceiving herself, believing that Song Yan knew nothing, and that even now, with his crimes exposed, he would consider their past relationship and not turn a blind eye. But now she realized that Song Yan not only knew, but had long been her enemy. She even had a vague suspicion…

"Answer me!" Song Shuyu slammed the gavel heavily.

Disturbed and confused, Song Zi blurted out, "So what if I sent someone to kill the madwoman and concoct poison? What can you do to me?"

Song Shuyu's disdainful look only provoked Song Zi to lose control further. But with a gesture from Song Shuyu, the yamen runners gagged her with a cloth and held her down tightly, preventing her from leaving the stool!

"Uncle Mu, what's the story behind the missing pages in the ancient medical texts? And how did they end up in Yang Caiyu's hands?" Song Shuyu continued to ask Mu Yan.

Thinking of how Yang Caiyu's entire family had met a tragic end because of the ancient medical text, Mu Yan sighed deeply: "The missing parts were torn out by Bai Li. Song Zi only knew that the ancient medical text contained beauty formulas, but that's not the case. The book also recorded formulas for several difficult and complicated diseases. Bai Li's real purpose in keeping the ancient medical text instead of destroying it was this." "Before she died, Bai Li tore out the sections on difficult and complicated diseases and kept them separately. Then she asked me to give the incomplete ancient medical text to Yang Caiyu. Bai Li said that with Song Zi's suspicious nature, she would never believe Yang Caiyu's sincerity. After her death, she would definitely regard Yang Caiyu as a second her. When forced to, she would hand over the ancient medical text to save her life. Who knew that after Yang Caiyu learned the truth about Bai Li's death from me, she turned out to be a loyal person, preferring death to submitting to Song Zi."

"By the way, Yang Caiyu's scabbard was given to me by her own hand. Yang Caiyu said that when they were young, Bai Li forged three daggers to witness the friendship between the three of them, but it turned out to be a joke. However, the evidence that can prove the relationship between the three of them and clear Bai Li's name is precisely these three scabbards engraved with her name."

The case of Bai Li's murder has finally become clear.

With Yang Caiyu's death, all the unknown mysteries have been solved.

Everyone sighed with regret, for over a decade, a single ancient medical text had caused countless deaths and piles of corpses.

Tragically, the culprit was none other than the Empress Dowager, the most honored woman in the land, who enjoyed the bounty of the nation but, for her own selfish desires, treated the people of the world like dirt!

Mu Qingcheng's eyes reddened again and again. She tried her best to control her emotions, but when she collapsed, it was still unexpected.

Song Li brought back sweet soup and served it to Song Yan, Mu Yan, and Mu Qingcheng one by one.

Having endured most of the day without a drop of water, Song Zi was so angry at this scene that her eyes almost popped out of their sockets. But apart from the yamen runners who were restraining her, no one on or off the stage paid any attention to her.

After resting for a while, Mu Qingcheng's emotions calmed down considerably.

Song Shuyu then said, "Next, we will try the 'Shuiyunjian' family annihilation case and the Eagle Beak Mountain skeleton case! Men, bring Lin Chuan to the court!"
