When Zhao Zhixian heard this, he was greatly shocked and immediately revealed an ugly expression on his face.

"This … this method might be good, but where are we going to find a corpse in such a short time? Moreover, it's a female corpse!"

The Grand Master shook his head and sighed. As the father and mother official of this county, wouldn't it be easy for you to obtain a pregnant woman's corpse? "

"You're saying …" Zhao Zhixian understood the meaning behind the Grand Master's words. Since there were no ready-made weapons, he might as well kill one of them himself.

A few months ago, I bought a girl from a brothel. I wanted to make her my second wife, but who would've thought that the bitch was pregnant with someone? I was still having a headache about how to deal with her, and now this has happened." Master, this is a godsend chance! " The Grand Master grabbed Zhao Zhixian's hand and said sincerely.

This Zhao Zhixian had lost a thousand times over. Looking at the thousand taels of silver on the table, he felt troubled.

Aiya, my old master, what are you hesitating for? Now that this person has already died in front of the court, even if you resolve this matter, now that Shen Lian has gone to sue his superior, if his superior blames you, it would be unavoidable for you to cause trouble even if you were to do so. Besides this current path in front of you, you have no other path to take!

As the Grand Master spoke, he stuffed a silver ingot into Zhao Zhixian's hands. As the saying goes, the wine is red and the face is red, and the money is moving. Zhao Zhixian clenched the silver in his hand, and his eyes turned red.

"Alright, we'll do as you say! "If I admit it now, I might as well fight for my life."

At this time of the year, Zhao Zhixian had changed into a brown suit, and together with the Grand Master, the two of them headed to the courtyard where the Grand Master had taken care of the woman.

The Grand Master liked his concubine very much, so he bought her a small courtyard. Usually, she was the only one living here, and she was matched with a servant girl. Earlier in the day, the Grand Master had dismissed the maidservant, leaving only his concubine behind.

This courtyard was close to the western part of the city, and normally, no one would come here. Of course, with his means, he didn't spend much on this place.

The Grand Master had purposely dressed up and hidden a bag of arsenic at his waist. As the Grand Master passed by the house of wine, he intentionally poured two catties of good wine into it. After stirring it evenly, he brought the wine with him to meet with his guests. At this moment, the concubine had already prepared some dishes and wine and was waiting for the Grand Master.

"Aiyo, you damned bastard! I thought you weren't planning to come today!" When the girl saw Grand Master had arrived, she scolded him as she took the item from his hand.

"Hehe, I've been busy these past few days, haven't I? Since I'm free today, I'll rush over to find you." Grand Master chuckled.

"You're quite interesting. It's already the middle of the night, I don't know where you got the wine from." As she spoke, she sat down.

Since there was wine in the house, the girl was in no hurry to drink the wine that the Grand Master had brought her. Instead, she poured the wine that she had prepared.

"Come, have some food. I don't know what happened to that servant girl you found for me today. She even saw someone during the day, but now, she's already gone to some unknown place." I have to cook for myself. " The girl grumbled as she scooped food into the Grand Preceptor's bowl.

Just like this, the two of them exchanged toasts and drank up all the wine in the house. If they wanted to drink any more, they could only do so with the wine that the Grand Master had brought with him.

The girl's tolerance for alcohol was not bad, but today, for some unknown reason, she drank much more. At this time, the Grand Master pretended to be drunk and lay on the table with his eyes closed, waiting.

He knew that this girl was a good drinker and was waiting for her to take the bait herself. Sure enough, after a while, the girl stood up shakily. She took out the wine that Grand Master had brought, poured out a pot of it, and started gulping it down.

"Good wine!" After this woman finished drinking, she clicked her tongue and praised.

However, before he could even react, he felt a tearing pain in his stomach.

Aiya, my stomach hurts! Dead ghost! Get up! My stomach hurts! "Ah!

Not long after she finished drinking the arsenic, she felt a heart-wrenching pain in her stomach. Then, her body went limp and she fell to the ground.

Only then did the Grand Master stand up, and when he looked at the corpse in the dim light, he saw that it was bleeding profusely from its seven orifices. Its eyes were wide open, and it looked extremely terrifying.

At this point, Zhi County had already arrived at the front of the courtyard. The Grand Master hurriedly opened the courtyard door and led Zhao Zhixian inside. Not long after, the two of them put the corpse into the gunny sack and tidied up the room. The two of them took advantage of the night to bring the corpses back to the yamen. After changing the clothes of the two corpses, they stuck the scissors that were originally stuck in front of Shen Xiu's chest.

After that, the two of them quietly moved Shen Xiu's corpse to the back of the yamen and buried it under a tree.

After all the work, it was already the middle of the night. The Grand Master calculated the time and realized that it would take at least a day for Shen Lian to invite the Prefect to Pan Shan County. Now that everything was ready, all he needed to do was to put on makeup for this corpse.

The next day, the Grand Master invited the midwife who had created the disaster in the hall to help her dress the body of this girl, dressing it up to look similar to Shen Xiu.

The Prefect had indeed arrived on the third day. After a round of investigation, a day passed. It was a very hot day. Even though Northern Reaches County was not far from Pan Shan County, it was not as good as Pan Shan County. During the summer months, the corpses rotted quickly. At this moment, the face of the corpse had already deformed. On the wall of the court, there was an incomparable stench.

Finally, after some investigation, the Prefect had a plan in mind and announced that the case would be opened. Sure enough, this Shen Lian was a real person. No matter what, he would never have thought that Zhao Zhixian would do something like this.

Therefore, when Prefect Jiang ordered the coroner to examine the corpse, a stillborn child was naturally cut out of the dead body.

At this time, Shen Lian was still shocked, so he changed his mind and said that this corpse wasn't his sister, Shen Xiu, and wanted an autopsy.

At this time, the magistrate, who was standing next to the coroner, blinked at the coroner. Using the magistrate as a cover, he stealthily gestured five times. This meant that if this matter was successful, he would be given five hundred silver taels.

The coroner had been doing this for many years, so he naturally understood what was going on. Thus, there was the farce of later on when they were engaged in a blood test.

Upon seeing that the result of the blood paternity test proved that the pregnant woman was Shen Xiu Nu, the younger sister of Shen Lian, he flew into a rage.
