While Fan Yi was getting the antidote, Yang Jin was also being tortured in the prison of the county guard's office. Because of his identity as a medical doctor, Cao Fushi, Zhang Cheng, the one who convicted and sentenced him to prison, personally interrogated him, and Huang Ji was
Observe in the name of supervision.
However, I originally thought that the interrogation process would not go smoothly, but I did not expect that Yang Jin was very cooperative and confessed before being asked, fully explaining how he planned the medical competition and how he bribed people to pretend to be patients.
It went so smoothly, but it left the two presiding judges with little power to do.
After Shu Zuo recorded everything Yang Jin said, he handed it to Zhang Cheng. After Zhang Cheng read it, he handed it to Huang Ji and asked: "Sir, there seems to be nothing missing in the confession, and it is consistent with what the five common people said.
Is this how the case ends?”
Huang Ji pondered for a moment and said, "Slow down a little longer." Then he took the confession and reported it to Pan Chenggui.
Although it was already past his usual bedtime, Pan Chenggui was obviously waiting for the outcome of today's events, so the lights in the Yamen remained on.
When Huang Ji arrived, the medical staff had just reported the number of people treated today and the consumption of medicinal materials. When they left, they met Huang Ji face to face.
The doctor nodded slightly and saluted, but his eyes fell on the document in Huang Ji's hand.
Huang Ji waited until he left the door before presenting Yang Jin's confession to Pan Chenggui.
After Pan Chenggui took a few glances at it, he asked, "What do you think about this?"
Huang Ji expressed his confusion, "According to the official's understanding of Yang Jin's personality, he is not such an easy person to compromise, but tonight's interrogation went very smoothly. He seemed to have given up the struggle. Although all the personal and material evidence were there,
but..."
"But the nature of this matter is not serious. To put it bluntly, it is just a deception. I even have room to be lenient to him - because of his meritorious service." Pan Chenggui added.
Huang Jidao said, "Your Excellency is wise," but stopped talking.
Pan Chenggui tapped his fingers on the table, and after a while, handed the confession to Huang Ji, "I will invite the miracle doctor over tomorrow, and I will make a conclusion on this matter after I see him."

The next morning, when Qingyu's family was having breakfast, someone came from the Yamen, saying that they were asking for a miracle doctor to come and answer the question.
The whole family didn't rush and didn't ask, as if they had expected it. As for Zhufeng, they just put down their half-eaten rice and followed the yamen servant.
Pan Chenggui specially waited in the side hall, while Huang Ji waited aside.
After meeting Zhufeng, Pan Chenggui directly asked him what he thought about yesterday's events.
Zhufeng was frightened: "How dare the common people have any opinions? It's a great blessing that the common people can save their lives. I don't dare to have any more thoughts."
Pan Chenggui was a little surprised, "Oh? How do you say this?"
Zhufeng was still frightened, and recalled: "That day, the grassroots and your Excellency were returning home after acupuncture, but they were intercepted and killed by gangsters on the way, and almost lost their hands. Fortunately, my wife arrived in time, and we were safe.
Unexpectedly, it was night, and two groups of people chased and killed the grassroots people at their homes. Those people were trying to kill each other, and they clearly wanted to kill the grassroots family. Fortunately, my wife was very good at it, so the bad guys didn't succeed."
Pan Chenggui was surprised, "Is this happening? Why didn't you report it at that time?" Several days had passed since the acupuncture.
Zhufeng sighed, "The common people wanted to report it to your lord, but at that time they suddenly said that they were going to hold a medical competition. The common people didn't dare not to comply, so the delay has been until now."
Pan Chenggui looked thoughtful, and after a while, he asked again: "Then do you know the identities of these gangsters?"
Zhufeng shook his head: "The grass people don't know. The grass people ask themselves that they have not offended anyone. I really don't know who has such a deep hatred for the grass people, and actually wants to kill the grass people and their whole family time and time again."
"Have you ever fought against bad guys twice?"
"Exactly, my wife is good at physical skills. In the first round, I shot four of them, and in the second round, I hit five of them."
Pan Chenggui suddenly said for no reason, "Your wife is quite capable."
Zhufeng chuckled, "The common people are timid and weak, so they married this woman because they thought she was domineering and powerful and could shake up the family."
Pan Chenggui nodded slightly, "That's all, I will investigate this matter thoroughly. Just go back and wait."
Zhufeng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, sir." Then he stepped back.
Huang Ji, who had been listening, stepped forward. Pan Chenggui asked him: "What did the principal see?"
Huang Ji thought about it for a while and said what he was thinking: "A few days ago, some soldiers in the army did not participate in military training because of severe cold."
Pan Chenggui laughed in anger, "No wonder he confessed..."

Fan Yi anxiously waited until noon the next day, and finally he was arrested, which made him secretly relieved. For him, waiting was far scarier than facing him head-on.
In the prison cell of the county guard's office, he never expected that he, as a member of the army, would one day enter. Fan Yi had to reflect on why he had reached such a state. After much thought, he felt that Yang Jin was the culprit.
The person who interrogated him was Zhang Cheng, the governor of Cao Cao, who immediately sentenced him to death - he should be punished for abusing his power and harming the people.
Fan Yi was mentally prepared that he would not be able to escape the death penalty, but his survival instinct still made him defend himself, "I don't understand what your Majesty said, please clarify."
Zhang Cheng smiled: "Yang Jin has already confessed. He said that you instigated him to assassinate the miracle doctor's family. The assassination failed, and he also prepared for a medical competition and used fraud to ruin the reputation of the miracle doctor and prevent him from gaining a foothold in Chengyang County."
Fan Yi originally felt that he was innocently implicated by Yang Jin, but now that he found out that Yang Jin's fellow had bitten him back, he was so angry that he told the whole story without even thinking about it.
Finally, he made it clear that he was wronged: in the whole incident, although he was guilty, he had no choice but to do so.
Zhang Cheng successfully obtained the confession. After giving it to Huang Ji to read, Huang Ji nodded: "Now it is coherent. The two of them each confessed part of the confession, but in fact they are one."
Zhang Cheng took Fan Yi's confession and interrogated Yang Jin.
Yang Jin originally thought that the matter had been covered up by himself, but he never expected to receive a voluntary confession from Fan Yi.
He was suspicious, thinking that Zhang Cheng must have discovered some clues and set him up. He did not confess to Fan Yi, and Fan Yi had no reason to go to the knife's edge, so he refused to admit it.
Zhang Cheng knew that he would not shed tears until he saw the coffin, so he brought Fan Yi up and asked the two to confront him.
This time, Yang Jin was stunned. Everyone was arrested. He already believed that Fan Yi must have confessed to everything, but he couldn't figure it out and asked angrily: "What kind of evil did you get into?" How could he have confessed himself?
Fan Yi sneered, "If you want me to take the blame for you, there's no way. I've done all the things you did."
Yang Jin became more and more confused, "What are you taking the blame for? I didn't accuse you at all..." After another pause, he understood instantly and was so angry that he said: "You idiot, you have been fooled by them."
Fan Yi was stunned and looked at Zhang Cheng, as if asking for proof.
Zhang Cheng ignored them, put away the two confessions, and told the officer: "Keep an eye on these two people." Then he left the cell.
His attitude explained everything. Only then did Fan Yi regret it.
The iron lock fell again, and only Yang Jin's resentment and Fan Yi's regret remained in the cell.
Yang Jin couldn't bear the hatred. He pointed at Fan Yi and scolded, "You idiot, I resisted everything just to protect you and I from being severely punished. It would be better for you to do it yourself. Now the nature of the matter has completely changed."
, attempted murder, abuse of power, harming people, any of them are not capital crimes, you... you simply killed me."
Fan Yi was speechless. When he was arrested, he always thought that Yang Jin had betrayed him, and he was very resentful towards Yang Jin, which made him lose his judgment for a moment. But now, it's too late to say anything.
