The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply

Chapter 352 Public Opinion Pull

That's what happened.

At first, there was a fraud incident at the Yuezhi Medical Clinic. It was a very common routine, where the family members carried the corpse to the clinic to appeal for justice, saying that they had killed someone by treating him.

Things like this are not uncommon, some are true and some are false, but the onlookers all have sympathy for the poor families, so they still hope that the clinic can investigate it clearly.

The person in charge of the clinic was called Yue Zhenshan. Surprisingly, his method of handling the matter was straightforward and he simply gave a sky-high compensation of two hundred taels of silver!

The people watching were all stunned! The troublemakers were even more shocked!

However, Yue Zhenshan said that if this was true and they accidentally killed someone with their treatment, compensation was only natural.

If this story is false, it means that the Yuezhi Medical Clinic has just arrived in the capital and has caused dissatisfaction among some people. In order to show their sincerity in valuing peace, they are willing to throw a stone to test the water with two hundred taels of silver, hoping that the person behind the scenes can contact him so that everything can be discussed.

Since the money has to be paid no matter what, there is naturally no need for an investigation.

After this impassioned speech, the surrounding people applauded. A medical dispute incident actually became a stepping stone for the Yuezhi, making them even more popular.

However, not long after, the troublemaker had an accident!

Not only their family of seven, but also the two relatives who were visiting their home that day, a total of 23 people, all died!

After investigation, Jingzhao Yin found that the murderer was actually a gangster from the same village. He was jealous of the family's wealth and lost his mind after drinking. He used drugs to knock out the three families who were celebrating, and then robbed them of their property.

Unexpectedly, someone woke up and shouted, and the gangster decided to go all out. He picked up a butcher knife and started hacking, killing a total of 23 people!

After the murder, the gangster naturally ran away with the property overnight. It was not until the next day that a villager discovered the body following the smell of blood and hurried to report the case.

In just one day, this case became the hottest topic in Beijing.

As the case was extremely serious and public opinion was at stake, Jingzhao Yin attached great importance to it. After repeated investigations, he believed that the facts of the case were clear and the evidence was conclusive, so he reported it to the Ministry of Justice and ordered the arrest of the murderer.

However, a doubt arose from this incident. Some public opinion believed that this was Yuezhi Medical Clinic's revenge and that they directly hired someone to kill someone.

This rumor even became more and more intense, seriously affecting the reputation of the Yuezhi Medical Clinic. Helplessly, they found the Jingzhao Yin to appeal for justice.

However, the Jingzhao Yin had already reported the case, so he applied for a review by the Dali Temple in accordance with the rules, which meant that the case was handed over to Wang Jinnian.

Wang Jinnian knew that Yue Shi would not kill in such a high-profile way, and it was even more impossible for her to hire someone to kill her, but he thought that Yue Shi's behavior of giving money in public was questionable.

When the Yue clan first encountered trouble, they should not have given money directly. They should have at least investigated the truth. Especially since the Yue clan gave two hundred taels of silver in a high-profile manner, it was hard not to make the people around that family jealous.

In other words, the Yuezhi may have implemented the strategy of praising to death!

Since Wang Jinnian has long been known as a great detective, this statement has been widely recognized. After all, in reality, buying a strong laborer as a slave only costs a dozen taels of silver.

Therefore, although the Yuezhi got rid of the label of hiring a killer, they were given another label!

Once again, reputation is in jeopardy.

The Yuezhi were not convinced. They sent people to spread the word that life is priceless. Many people were willing to spend two thousand taels, not to mention two hundred taels, to get their illnesses treated. So the compensation they paid was not much.

Moreover, when buying people, you have to consider what kind of people you are buying. Can ordinary slaves and good citizens be the same?

What's more, there are prostitutes in brothels, musicians and actors. Once they are sold, it would easily cost thousands of taels of silver. Can it be the same?

The man who was supposedly executed was the head of a family after all. Two hundred taels of silver could be used to comfort his family, raise his children, and provide for his elderly parents. Was it too much?

Suddenly, public opinion began to reverse.

The Yuezhi even took the opportunity to point out that Wang Jinnian was taking revenge on his own. Although the Yuezhi girl had pestered him about marriage in the past, she had been detained at home now. Why did he hold a grudge against her?

This time, public opinion exploded!

Oh my God, Wang Jinnian is actually involved in marriage with a Yuezhi woman!

Avenging a private vendetta?

This is not possible!

If this is true, according to the rules Wang Jinnian cannot review the case and should avoid suspicion!

There are even some gossipers who have imagined several versions of the love-hate relationship between Yue Wushuang and Wang Jinnian.

However, Wang Jinnian reacted quickly. Almost the next day, his men caught several people who spread the rumors. No matter which version of the story, they were proven to be false in public.

But there is only one thing that is very clear, that is, when Wang Jinnian returned to Beijing, he was harassed by Yue Wushuang in public on the street, and many people saw it at the time.

So there was still something unclear between them. Wang Jinnian did not give any explanation for this, nor did he pay any attention to Yueshi.

At this point, public opinion has become confusing, and even the fence-sitters don’t know which side to lean towards!

A few days later, Yue Wushuang showed up and said that she had been kidnapped and the other party asked Wang Jinnian to redeem her, but he never went. So she was extremely disappointed in Wang Jinnian, let alone talk about an engagement.

Although Yue Wushuang's words were ambiguous, the fact that she was kidnapped was registered with the government, proving that it had happened.

This means that no matter whether there was any marriage entanglement between her and Wang Jinnian, it is true that Wang Jinnian did not help her when she was in danger!

In other words, this incident almost confirmed that Yue Shi and Wang Jinnian had a personal grudge!

Then why doesn't Wang Jinnian avoid suspicion?

In this way, the Yuezhi finally gained the upper hand!

In response, Wang Jinnian still did not explain immediately, but caught the gangster murderer two days later!

The guards of the Dali Temple tied him up and paraded him through the city gate and straight to the court.

Countless people saw it and followed.

Wang Jinnian tried the case on the spot and the murderer confessed to the murder.

He also said that someone mentioned the two hundred taels of silver repeatedly in front of him that day and invited him to drink, so he was confused for a moment and did something stupid.

In addition, he hesitated before taking action, but he accidentally discovered that several groups of thugs were wandering around the entrance of the village, all ready to take action.

So he had to get there first.

This also indirectly confirms that the Yuezhi was suspected of flattery.

Even though the Yuezhi did not have this intention, they still achieved this effect.

Then it was reasonable for Wang Jinnian to say before that Yuezhi’s behavior of directly giving silver needed to be considered.

Finally, Wang Jinnian said calmly: "I have nothing to do with the Yuezhi woman. I have my own evidence of the kidnapping."

Everyone was shocked. Wang Jinnian never spoke empty words. If he said there was evidence, then there must be evidence.

But this time, everyone did not wait for Wang Jinnian's evidence, but waited for Yue Wushuang to confront him in public.

"Wang Jinnian, do you dare to say that you don't know me?"

"know."

"Then how can you say it has nothing to do with me?"

"I know a lot of women. Are they all related?"
