After Gu Qian sat down, he expressed his doubts one by one, "At the beginning, she denied it in every possible way in court, but when I mentioned the fetal pills, she suddenly did all the tricks. In addition, I have agreed to let her give birth, and it stands to reason that she should not be so anxious to kill herself. ”

Qinghe scratched his head, "Oh, it's okay if you don't say it, Childe, I really think there is indeed some problem." ”

Gu Qian felt that there must be a key issue that he had overlooked, so he went through everything in his mind again, and suddenly he spoke: "Child, the child in her womb is the key point of this case. ”

Qinghe said: "What does this have to do with the child?" ”

Gu Qian said: "The child in her womb is the flesh and blood of the Liu family, but when Ah Xing and I met Liu Yuanwai today, he didn't say a word about it. Now that Liu Yuanwai only has a married daughter left under his knees, it stands to reason that he should not be so indifferent to this child. Thinking about it like this, I'm afraid that Song Jiao'e is not pregnant with his flesh and blood. ”

Ang Ju seemed to understand, "Song Jiao'e knew that Liu Yuanwai would not raise this child, so in order to prevent him from suffering in the future, he made this decision. In this way, it makes sense why she was in a hurry to commit suicide. ”

Because Song Jiao'e deliberately blamed Xinghua for the murder of Liu Rong and made him suffer in prison for a few days, Xinghua was very dissatisfied with her, "No matter what the problem is, it is true that she killed Liu Rong, and it is only right to kill people." Wouldn't it be better if she's dead now, and we need to worry about something, unless the murderer is someone else. ”

Gu Qian suddenly realized this, and said to Xinghua with a smile: "Ah Xing, what you said just now made me pause." ”

Xinghua was a little puzzled, "Ah, what did I say just now?" ”

Gu Qian had a full grasp in his heart, "There is another hidden story in this case, Song Jiao'e must have committed suicide to protect someone." Angju, I have two things for you to do. ”

Early the next morning, Gao Dian Shi found Gu Qian excitedly, "My lord, the person you want to arrest has been caught!" ”

"Okay, bring him to the lobby now!"

The officials escorted Steward Liu to the lobby, Steward Liu was very depressed, he just came to inquire about the news, but he didn't expect the other party to tie himself up without saying a word.

"Adult, the little one didn't do anything, why should you catch the little one?"

Gu Qian said: "Naturally, it is for this case of Liu Mansion. ”

Steward Liu was shocked, "This, haven't you already closed this case?" ”

"It is true that the case is closed, but now the Song family is in prison and has overturned the case, saying that there are still accomplices."

After hearing this, Steward Liu's heart suddenly trembled, but his face still pretended to be calm, "The Song family has already explained everything clearly at that time, what other accomplices can she have." ”

Gu Qian said: "You dare to say that you have nothing to do with this case?" ”

"My lord, what are you talking about, the little one doesn't understand."

"Do you really not understand, or are you pretending to be confused? The Song family just said last night that they were going to overturn the case, why did you come here early in the morning to inquire about the news? ”

Gu Qian deliberately concealed the news of Song Jiao'e's death and asked Angju to release the news that she had overturned the case. He knew that people with weak hearts would definitely come to inquire about the news when they couldn't hold their breath, so he just had to wait quietly.

"The little one has been favored by the Liu Mansion for many years, and when he heard that the Song family was going to overturn the case, he naturally wanted to come to inquire for the master, what is wrong with this?"

Gu Qian said: "It's true to be loyal, but what if Steward Liu is weak-hearted?" ”

When Steward Liu heard that it was for this, his heart suddenly relaxed a little, "Ouch, my lord, you are really wronged." ”

Gu Qian didn't go around the bend with him, and asked directly to the point: "Who is the child in Song's belly?" ”

Steward Liu's heart that had just been put down suddenly came up again, and he was suddenly sweating, "She is the master's concubine, and the fetus in this womb is of course my master's." ”

"You still dare to quibble, pass on the king's doctor."

After a while, an old man staggered up with the support of the servant, "The little king has wealth and has seen adults." ”

"Doctor Wang, this official asks you, can Liu Yuanwai's body still give birth?"

Lao Langzhong replied: "My lord, Liu Yuanwai did see the old man a few years ago, and he was diagnosed with the disease of dead sperm at that time. ”

Gu Qian then asked, "In other words, it is impossible for Liu Yuanwai to have any more children in his life?" ”

Wang Youcai sighed, "Unless Hua Tuo is alive!" Besides, Liu Yuanwai has also passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and it is almost impossible to have children. However, because this matter is extremely secret, few people know about it. ”

Gu Qian looked at Steward Liu, "Steward Liu, then you should tell me, the child in the Song family's womb is still your master's?" ”

"This, how do you know this little one, it's definitely not mine anyway!" As soon as the words came out, Steward Liu realized that he had leaked his mouth.

"Hmph, aren't you going to make a fool of yourself?"

Steward Liu didn't expect to fall into Gu Qian's trap, "My lord, this really has nothing to do with me." ”

"I don't think you will give up until you reach the Yellow River, and pass on the Yellow Shopkeeper."

When Steward Liu saw the shopkeeper Huang, the beads of sweat on his forehead kept seeping out, and his hands kept shaking.

Gu Qian asked the shopkeeper Huang: "Do you know the person in front of you?" ”

"I recognize, he is the big butler of the Liu Mansion."

"Have you been in contact with him lately?"

Shopkeeper Huang nodded, "He came to my shop a few days ago to grab medicine. ”

"What kind of medicine did he catch?"

"Tocolytics."

"But this prescription?"

Gu Qian ordered someone to bring the medicinal residue salvaged from the dry well to the eyes of the Huang shopkeeper, who kept rummaging through it with his fingers, sniffing it with his nose from time to time.

After a moment, he nodded repeatedly, "That's right, it's this recipe." ”

"Steward Liu, you lost your wife in your early years, and now you have no wife and no concubine, who are you planning to use this medicine for?"

Steward Liu was there for a while, and he didn't know what to say to refute.

"Now that Song Jiao'e has retracted her confession and said that you were an accomplice in killing Liu Rong, what else do you have to say?"

Steward Liu suddenly cried out, "Adult, the little one is wronged!" I thought I shouldn't have listened to this slut in the first place, but I didn't expect that now she would come to harm me! ”

"You'd better be truthful!"

Steward Liu wiped his nose and said: "This Song family is naturally younger and more beautiful than several other women, since the day she entered the mansion, I have been attracted to her, and later after I came into contact with her, I fell in love with her and became husband and wife." But I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet, and once I accidentally found out about the two of us. After our bitter pleading and swearing that this would never happen again, Childe gave up the idea of telling the master about it. ”

"After that, we still broke the thread, and secretly had a private meeting while people were unprepared, but I didn't expect her to be secretly tied later. I tried to persuade her to get rid of the baby, but she said she wanted to experience what it's like to be a mother. And she also said that when the child grows up, she will be able to share the Liu family's property, and we will be able to rely on it when we are old. Who knows that people are not as good as heaven, since the last time they were discovered, Childe has been wary of us, and this matter was discovered by him again. He must not tolerate the birth of this child, and gave us an ultimatum, so the Song family had murderous intent against him. ”

At this time, Xinghua Gongzi came to the mansion to make a fuss, she felt that the time had come, so she wanted to kill Gongzi and make Xinghua Gongzi a scapegoat. But no matter how good I tried to persuade him, Song never listened. She did all this by herself, and it has nothing to do with me! Ask the adults to be discerning! ”

"You even say it has nothing to do with you? Although Liu Rong is cynical, he is kind-hearted. For the sake of Liu Fu's reputation, I didn't stab this matter and spare you, but you didn't repent, and even had murderous intent against him. ”

Steward Liu whispered: "Childe was raised by me since I was a child, how can I bear to kill him?" ”

Gu Qian didn't expect that Steward Liu was still quibbling at this time, "You know that the Song family wants to kill him, not only did not stop him, but also provided her with all kinds of conveniences, you can't bear it?" After the incident, you didn't identify the Song family at the first time, but framed Liu An, so that Liu Rong died blindly, you can't bear it? I think you are dreaming of waiting for the child to be born and grow up to inherit the Liu family's property, and you are reluctant to wake up, right? ”

"My lord, Xiaomin was bewitched by that slut and was killed by her!"

Steward Liu only wanted to shirk his guilt at this time, and seeing this face, Gu Qian was very disdainful in his heart.

"If the Song family were still alive, I don't know how she would feel when she heard your words!"

"What did you say, the Song family is dead?"

"One corpse, two lives! It is this slut in your mouth who resisted all the blame in order to protect you, and even did not hesitate to find a short time in prison in order not to implicate you. Now you're taking all the blame away for self-preservation! ”

When Steward Liu heard this, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, his eyes were dull, and there were words in his mouth, "Jiao'e, it's me who is not good, I can't stand you and the child!" ”

Steward Liu was sentenced to death for committing adultery with the lord and providing convenience for Song Jiao'e, and did not report and mislead the case, and was sentenced to death for several crimes, and was immediately detained in a cell.

Xinghua looked at Gu Qian and said, "You are so powerful, how could you have thought that there is something hidden behind this case?" ”

Gu Qian nodded Xinghua's forehead, "It's not thanks to you that your words last night made me think that what Song Jiao'e did was obviously intended to cover up someone's crime." I know that some people will have a weak heart, so I released the fake news that Song Jiao'e overturned the case to lure him into the bait. ”

"How can you be so smart?"

Gu Qian looked proud, "Of course, there is something in this world that can hide from me." ”

Xinghua was very worried in his heart, for fear that one day his pretense of Xue Heng would be discovered by Gu Qian.

Gu Qian looked at him with an expression that was a little abnormal, "Are you okay, why do you seem to be worried?" ”

Xinghua sighed: "It's nothing, it's just pity for Liu Rong." ”

"Reluctant?"

"Why are you talking nonsense, although he has that meaning to me, but I don't have the slightest idea about him."

"I'll just say casually, don't be angry."

In Zhu Miao's mansion, Wu Yuanwai was sitting in the hall with Zhu Miao.

Wu Yuanwai said: "I really didn't expect this Xinzhi County Lord to be so powerful, but it was only four days to be able to find out the murder case of Liu Mansion." ”

Zhu Miao nodded and said, "This person is extremely not simple, I'm afraid we underestimated him before." It seems that there is basically no hope of trying to win him over. ”

"I'm going to have a lot of dreams at night, should we find a chance to get rid of him?"

Zhu Miao shook his head: "The time has not yet come, don't startle the snake, let's wait and see what happens." As for Scar, you told them not to show up lately, and to avoid the limelight first. At the first opportunity, we will take him by surprise and put him to death. ”

Wu Yuanwai nodded, "Cousin, you also know that I am a rough person, so you will have to think more about this matter." ”
