Chapter 314 - The Comeback
After Liu Hua said the poison, except for Li Shuci himself and a few girls in Qingge, no one could prove it, and perhaps they would not believe that Gu Min's death had nothing to do with her, but how did Gu Min die?
Autopsy. Everyone present was shocked by her words.
No one wants to be desecrated by a cold blade after they die, and even less so the relatives of the deceased. But after thinking about it, I can only admit that this is the only opportunity to confirm that there is another hidden reason for the poison. After Helian Ting and the others were silent, they all looked at Bao's family, who had just digested the autopsy to verify what it meant, and when he saw everyone's expressions, he couldn't help but be angry: "Li Shuci! You are so ruthless! You not only killed Min'er, but also wanted her to never be reborn?"
Outside the door, Gu Zhentao, Gu Zhenzhong and others had already arrived, and they happened to hear these words. Gu Zhenzhong didn't have time to glance at the dead Gu Min, and said angrily: "My good daughter of the Gu family is also a girl who has not left the cabinet!
As soon as Tao saw Gu Zhenzhong coming, he immediately rushed forward: "Master, you have to make decisions for our daughter! Min'er is my only daughter! She is your eldest daughter, your only child!"
As an elder brother, Gu Zhentao had to stand on Gu Zhenzhong's side in both affection and reason, he looked at Helian Ting and said, "Lord Wang, you don't think the same way, do you!"
Helian Ting knows more about the inside story, and also knows very well what kind of person her daughter-in-law is, since she generously invited Qi Huantian, it is clear that she wants to prove that she is not a murderer in front of the people of the world, in this case, of course the murderer is someone else, but how can he prove it? He muttered: "This is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and no one can make a fool of himself under the nose of the king." The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and if the murderer is really my daughter-in-law, the king shall punish him justly. ”
"Daddy!" Helian Tao called urgently, "legal reasoning and human affection." The law comes first, and the love comes last. Uncle and aunt, I can understand your feelings of losing your beloved daughter, but if you want to catch the real culprit, you should do extraordinary things in extraordinary times. I don't think you want the real murderer to get away with it and wronged the good guys. ”
Gu Zhenzhong said angrily: "Hmph! His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is not determined to shield the murderer and deceive me and no one in the Gu family." Do you want to use your power to suppress people?"
Helian Tao still wanted to distinguish one from the other, but Helian Ting raised his hand to stop it, and continued under the gaze of Gu Zhenzhong's brother: "After all, Ah Ci is the princess canonized by Chongnan Jinshu and Jade, and she is a friend of life and death with the king, and she is the pearl of the palm of the right minister. If the murderer has someone else, he must have a plot against my Chongnan court. This matter is widely implicated and has a huge impact, and if something goes wrong, you and I will not escape responsibility. ”
This is clearly to tell the Gu family that Li Shuci is not easy to provoke, even if they punish her now, and wait for the Gu family to go back, maybe it will be the anger of the king and Li Xiang's revenge. The Gu family is just a small clan in decline, and the people are withering, and they are all counting on their descendants to join the family to revitalize the family, but if they touch the mold in this matter, will there be a day in the future?
People don't need to make a big deal at all, just occasionally move their fingers, and they can never turn over.
Gu Zhentao and Gu Zhenzhong glanced at each other, and they both understood that what the other party said was right, but could they just let others bully them? Gu Zihao understood that what the two of them thought in their hearts was nothing more than fear of power and unwilling to be suppressed. He said: "Second uncle, the little nephew has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”
Gu Zhenzhong was upset by Helian Ting's words and Bao's entanglement, and was embarrassed, when he heard Gu Zihao's words, he thought that he had always had an idea, so he said, "What do you have to say?"
Gu Zihao looked at Li Shuci and said, "It is rumored that my cousin-in-law is extremely smart, and she must be able to find a way to prove that people will not die immediately after taking poison." If this can be proven, I think, it is enough to show that the murderer is ruthless. At least, it can be proved that my cousin-in-law is not the only one suspected of murder, and at that time, I don't think the second uncle will stop the autopsy from verifying. ”
The crowd was silent.
That's right, this is the key to this matter, the reason why the Gu family thinks that Li Shuci is the murderer is because the poison can kill people instantly, and it is impossible for Gu Min to come to Li Shuci after taking the poison. And since Li Shuci said that he was not a murderer, he needed to find a way to prolong the poison time.
Helian Tao looked at Li Shuci with anxious eyes, but his words were to ask everyone: "How can this be done?!"
Li Shuci didn't look at him, she seemed to be a clay sculpture isolated by everyone at this time, and no one could save her.
Helian Ting walked around in front of everyone, thought for a moment, and said, "What does my uncle think?"
Gu Zhenzhong looked at the dead Gu Min and was grief-stricken. But at this time, can he have any other way? Gu Min is his beloved daughter, but can the princess be offended? Between the family and the real murderer, he actually has no choice at all. "Since the prince thinks that it is feasible at this time, he asks Her Royal Highness the princess to give the next reply within three days!"
Three days, although it may not be possible to find a solution, at least the situation can be suspended. Li Shuci was calm and unusual, and his voice was calm and firm: "Okay." When the time comes, I will give you an explanation. ”
Helian Tao's heart tightened suddenly, Li Shuci's 'you', he understands, including him. He felt really uncomfortable in his heart, how could he be confused! I suspect that no one should doubt Xiao Wu! But he really didn't mean to blame her, even if Xiao Wu did something, he believed that she had enough good reasons, and he would understand and tolerate it without reservation......
Gu Zhentao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, in fact, no matter whether Li Shuci was a murderer or not, Gu Min had already died, could they lose anything else for the sake of a dead person? "Of course we believe that the princess is not a murderer, but in the end, it has to be convincing." If the princess can prove that the murderer is someone else, the Gu family will naturally not embarrass the princess. It's just that now Min'er's body ......"
Bao stepped forward to hug Gu Min, still unable to accept the fact that his only daughter had died, and kept muttering something in despair. Gu Zhenzhong sighed heavily and ordered his subordinates to take Bao away and prepare for the funeral. Bao Shi was pulled by his subordinates, but his eyes were staring at Li Shuci: "You can't die well! You will be punished!"
Li Shuci lowered his eyes and was silent.
Qi Huantian glanced at everyone present with complicated eyes, and said to Helian Ting: "There is still something to do below, if the prince has something, even if he sends someone to tell him." ”
Seeing off Qi Huantian and the others, Gu Zhenzhong said: "It's better to carry Min'er back to the house." ”
Helian Tao said: "Uncle, the matter of Cousin Min has not been clarified yet, and it is better to leave the body in the palace at this time." Moreover, Cousin Min had an accident in the palace, and the palace will handle the future affairs on her behalf. At this time, the rumors outside because of Mu Yun are like cooking oil on fire, if it is rumored that Gu Min died in Li Shuci's room, you can imagine what kind of situation it will be, of course Helian Tao doesn't want this kind of thing to happen.
Besides, if that person wanted to destroy the corpse, could the Gu family stop it?
Helian Ting also chimed in: "Exactly. ”
Gu Zhenzhong thought about it and didn't refute it, their Gu family's livelihood was not a day or two. Dealing with Gu Min's aftermath is probably also difficult. Thinking of this, I felt disheartened again. He was in no mood to argue about anything: "Good." ”
Helian Ting accompanied the Gu family away, and Gu Min was carried to the courtyard where she had lived in the palace before to stop the spirit. There were only Helian Tao, Li Shuci and Qingge left in the room. Helian Tao was anxious to explain to Li Shuci, but Li Shuci took the lead and asked, "What about the things that the person sent last night?"
Helian Tao was stunned, immediately swallowed the words in his stomach, ordered someone to bring the delicate box full of strange flowers and grass seeds, and took out the post from his arms and handed it to Li Shuci: "This is it, the person who sent the worship post lives in the Nanshun Inn, and I will order people to ......."
"No need!" Li Shuci looked at the familiar handwriting on the post, and her heart was surging, and she interrupted him: "Even if this person is caught, what can he ask? The important thing is, isn't he in Dagan......? Did he come back to take revenge? Did he kill Mu Yun?"
The heavy uneasiness in Helian Tao's heart turned into guilt: "If I had shown you this post last night, maybe Muyun would have been fine...... Little Five......!
"Lan Xin, tell someone to prepare the car, I'm going to see Mu Yun. Li Shuci didn't listen to him and continued to talk about it, turned around and walked out. Qingge looked back at Helian Tao in embarrassment, and said: "Lord Shizi, I am just a subordinate next to the girl, but for the girl, I have never had the slightest doubt, even if the girl really does something that is unacceptable to you, you should ask clearly before you criticize it." In the girl's words, why does she need your 'not to blame'?"
Helian Tao looked at Qingge's back blankly, and was even more annoyed that he had convicted Li Shuci indiscriminately. Although Li Shuci treats people kindly, he is stubborn and arrogant in his bones, and he has a pole in his heart. Her righteousness, her brilliance, and her brilliance are difficult to compare with her. What right does he have to say 'not to blame' to her?
"Damn!" Helian Tao was so angry that he chased after him.
The sun hung high and far in the sky, and the light shone into the carriage through the window lattice, Li Shuci looked at the dust flying wildly in the light, and felt that his heart was like a wanderer, and there was nowhere to put it. She didn't blame Helian Tao, maybe he was in a hurry for a while, dizzy for a while, but this loss in her heart just couldn't be dissipated, and the trace of heart suddenly disappeared and became extremely empty.
Qingge held Li Shuci's hand and said, "Girl, the prince probably didn't know what he was talking about at the time, he was just too worried to say the wrong thing, don't take it to heart." ”
"How's Kiyama?"
Qingge was dumbfounded for a while, she looked at Li Shuci clearly, her girl has always been, the more she cares, the more she doesn't care. "Mu Shan has been unconscious, and Mu Yun, both of them are in the house in Beicheng. ”
He Quan and Qingge returned to Beijing and settled their own residence, so He Quan did not live in Banbianlou. Xiang Jiu is about to get married, Sun Xiaozi, Wushan and others are all helping to prepare, and they don't live in Banbianlou, so only the Muyun brothers and sisters are there after Banbianlou closes at night.
The two of them were silent for a while, the carriage was moving forward, and occasionally they could hear the sound of endless discussions in the market, which was nothing more than how Li Shuci ruthlessly put the Shen family to death back then, and how he brutally killed his personal maid at this time, etc. The counterattacks that she had to do in the past have become her talismans at this time.
Li Shuci stopped the carriage and stood on the side of the road to listen. Yesterday, when the wind was calm in Beijing, the wind direction has changed today. If no one is behind the scenes, the ghosts don't believe it.
"You mean, when Princess Fujia was thirteen years old, she killed someone?"
"Yes! Shen Hao's own grandson, the former secretary of the Ministry of War, the one named Shen Hong, although he is a swinger brother who spends all his time drinking, he is not guilty to death, he was killed because he offended Princess Fujia! I heard that Princess Fujia personally broke his tendons and tendons, and then tortured him to death! What a tragedy!
"Liar, right? How could a thirteen-year-old yellow-haired girl do such a cruel thing?"
"If you don't believe it, what do you say about what happened this morning?" the man swore an oath, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and his tone was very earnest: "I heard that this girl who was killed was a servant girl who followed Princess Fujia from birth to death, and because of this, she was appreciated by the prince, but I didn't expect it...... Alas......"
"If that's the case, it's really a loss of conscience!"
"This is still what we know, maybe there are still things we don't know, those powerful people can't do anything in private!"
"It's a pity that a person like the prince of the world married such a wicked woman...... In the future...... Hey, there's nothing fishy!"
At this time, someone stopped him in a loud voice: "You actually know that Hun said! You don't want to die? That is the princess who is the princess himself, and you dare to chew the root of your tongue, and when the time comes, you will all be cut off, and no one will dare to say a word!"
The voice of the discussion froze, and then someone shook his head and sighed: "Alas, what the way of the world!"
"The world has changed!"
The talk that everyone was talking about stopped from then on, and Li Shuci listened to it, only feeling extremely tired. Wave your hand to let the carriage move on. The green pigeon was so angry that he said, "It's better to let the prince send someone to ......"
"No, it's useless. Rumors stop at the wise, and have nothing to do with the strength of force. If we can't find out the truth, how many people's mouths can we control?"
When Li Shuci arrived at the north house, the courtyard was gloomy, and everyone stepped forward when they saw her. She looked silently at the coffin prepared in the middle of the courtyard, and the grief and anger in her heart had been suppressed into a dot, like a trapped beast ready to attack, waiting for the opportunity to explode without reservation. "Have the injuries on Mu Yun's body been examined, is there anything suspicious?"
Xiang Jiu's eyes were red, and he cleared his throat before saying: "Mu Yun's body is full of bruises, there are obvious signs of struggle, and besides, she was poured something before she died, which can keep her awake in pain, she was split awake...... ...... who died alive and agonizing"
Qingge's cold hair all over her body suddenly rose, and she looked at Xiang Jiu in disbelief, Li Shuci went to the house without saying a word, and Qingge wanted to stop her: "Girl, let's go and see it as a slave!"
Li Shuci shook his head and walked into the room step by step, the person on the bed was covered with a white cloth, and only his head and shoulders were exposed. Mama Lei was combing her hair, and when she saw Li Shuci, she suddenly couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand and cried silently: "Girl, Mu Yun died too miserably......"
Li Shuci looked at Mu Yun's face, which was once full of energy, and his lively and moving face was hideous and painful, his eyes were rolled upwards and almost out of his sockets, and there were obvious pinch marks on his neck and half-exposed shoulders. His lips were almost bitten off, and with his miserable white and blood-stained face, Li Shuci could barely recognize that this was Mu Yun. She slowly lifted the white cloth covering the corpse.
Just at a glance, Li Shuci was already shocked on the spot, and the green pigeon exclaimed with a blank face.
Mu Yun's whole person was cut between her legs, all the way to her ribs, and was split in half, her internal organs seemed to be ground up, and the blood had dried up, but Li Shuci still felt that the flesh and blood were blurry, and the fishy smell came to her nose, she staggered back, and tears fell: "Beast!" let her heart condense and calm, but she was also shocked by the terrible scene in front of her.
Mu Yun is just a scheming, kind-hearted girl who always thinks about the good things about others, and easily refuses to grudge with others. She avenged her parents with all her heart, why did she end up like this? Her life can be said to have just begun!
Xiang Jiu walked in, followed by Helian Tao.
Helian Tao rushed over in two steps and hugged Li Shuci: "Little Wu, we will definitely avenge Mu Yun!"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but raise their heads and asked Xiang Jiu, "Who did it?!"
Li Shuci broke free from Helian Tao's arms, and looked at Mu Yun fixedly, the person who was still jumping in front of her yesterday was now a lifeless corpse in front of him: "It's the Confucian King ......"
"What?"
"Isn't he in Dagan?"
"It's heavily guarded by troops...... How is that possible?"
"How did he do such a ruthless hand?"
Everyone was stunned for a while, and countless questions blurted out.
He Quandao: "Let's not talk about whether the Confucian King has returned." From what we know about the Confucian king, he can kill people, but he will not use such cruel means. In my opinion, this kind of behavior should be done by a woman, and when Mu Yun was just carried back, I found that her hair had been stripped off a lot......"
They all knew that Mu Yun had long black and silky hair, which was not inferior to her daughter, or even more beautiful. Others may not notice Mu Yun's appearance in the crowd, but they can notice her black hair at a glance. No man would cut off the other person's hair when he was angry, which was obviously the act of a woman under jealousy.
"Woman?" Helian Tao was surprised: "Could it be the woman from last night?" Helian Tao explained the events of last night to everyone, and said: "Who is she, why do I feel very familiar?"
Li Shuci shook his head, no matter who it was, no matter what method the Confucian King used, he was back. It's back for revenge. He had people kill Mu Yun, and with such cruel means, it was enough to show his determination. "Mu Yun, don't worry, from now on, I will not be soft-hearted, and I will definitely break that person's body into ten thousand pieces!"
