Chapter 29: The Trap

Previous Chapter

"This is aconitum, Huang Tao bought this thing and put it in your medicine, only put a little bit at a time, and the accumulated poison can kill you." Gu Jin said to Huang Tao.

"He, ahem, why did he kill me? I have no enmity with him! Huang Tao was very frightened, he was so thin these days, at this time he stared hard, and it seemed that there was only a pair of big eyes left on his thin face.

"What do you say?" Gu Jin didn't explain, many times you explained to the point that it was better to let the other party guess by yourself.

"After he comes back for a while, you only pretend that you don't know anything, and you drink the medicine as usual, and in three days you find a chance to pretend to be dead, as for how to pretend to be dead, I won't teach you how to pretend to be dead, if you want to live, I think you should be able to do this." Gu Jin said again.

In fact, Huang Tao has believed most of Gu Jin's words, and Huang Tao also had faint suspicions before, the doctor surnamed Du said that he had flower willow disease, but as far as he knows, flower willow disease and his symptoms are different, now think about it, isn't his illness poisoning?

"Why did you save me?" Huang Tao asked.

"You think I'm willing to save you? I'm too lazy to save a bastard like you, it's just a last resort! Gu Jin snorted coldly and said.

Huang Tao thought that what Gu Jin said was to deal with Han Dongqiu, but he heard Gu Jin say again, "Widows in this dynasty are not allowed to remarry, if you die, it's fine, but your wife has to keep the festival for you." The widow's life is not easy, for you, your wife has offended her mother's family, your family is poor, without the protection of her mother's family, where can a woman with a child still live? ”

Gu Jin didn't know if what she said was true or not, whether it was really for Huang Tao's wife, or just to find a perfunctory reason for Huang Tao.

Huang Tao was struck by lightning, he used to be high-spirited, but he had no warmth for his wife in his heart, at this time he had experienced life and death, and after Gu Jin said, he remembered his wife's kindness to him.

That year, he was also seriously ill, and his wife served at the bedside, and he did not close his eyes for several days and nights.

That year, the eldest son was born, and his wife didn't finish the confinement period, so she got up to wash and cook for him.

That year, he lost money gambling with others and owed debts, and his wife took the head jewelry when he got married without saying a word, and paid back the silver for him.

When his wife married him, he was just a child, and this love began at the end of Weimo, how do you know that he forgot the kindness of others when he was a little promising?

Gu Jin is right, he is indeed a bastard, even now he only thinks about his own life, but he doesn't think about what his wife and children will be like if he dies.

Huang Tao's eyes were red, he raised his head and looked at Jing Zhaoyin.

"My lord, the student was almost killed by a traitor, and the student has physical evidence, and I ask the adult to avenge the student." Huang Tao said to Jing Zhaoyin, his voice raised a little, because he had almost shouted out.

Wu Shijie knew that this must be a trap set by Gu Jin, and he wanted Han Dongqiu to drill.

According to common sense, Wu Shijie punished Han Dongqiu, but with Zuo Hongwen's entrustment in front, Gu Jin is a poor scholar with no background, although Wang Yu has a master, but Wu Shijie does not believe that Leng Qinghan will make any trouble for Wang Yu, so Wu Shijie rejected the complaint of Gu Jin and others on the grounds of insufficient evidence.

Wu Shijie felt that the matter was over, after all, there was no real death, and such a sentence could not be regarded as wrong.

It's just that Wu Shijie thought wrongly, Gu Jin did set a trap, but Gu Jin's trap was not to trap Han Dongqiu, but to trap Wu Shijie himself.

The next day, Huang Tao went to the gate of Jingzhao Mansion to beat the drum and sound the grievances, Wu Shijie asked the officials to drive him away, Huang Tao cried bitterly, and the sound attracted many people to watch.

Wu Shijie was furious when he heard about this, he didn't expect that there would be a scholar who would be so disrespectful, but Huang Tao has a good reputation, he can't let the servants add up the sticks, and finally he was furious, he sneered and said to the officials, "Let him make trouble, the official still doesn't believe that he can make any tricks." ”

Wu Shijie felt that Huang Tao just cried, he didn't expect Huang Tao to really make a trick, the next day, Huang Tao went to the downtown area of the capital, he was almost sick like a person, angrily accused Jingzhao Yin Wu Shijie of using power for personal gain, protecting the murderer, and the corpse was vegetarian.

Huang Tao is also ruined, he knows that he has offended the powerful, and he has nothing on him, if this matter is not opened, it will not be long before his life is guaranteed, he will die, and his wife and children will be affected by him.

Gu Jin told him that this matter must be made bigger, and only by putting him on the bright side can his life be safe, and no one will dare to touch him in the future.

Huang Tao had no other way to go, he could only listen to Gu Jin's words, he knew that Gu Jin was also using him, but he believed that Gu Jin would at least not kill him.

At this time, Wu Shijie still didn't take this matter to heart, he just sent the official to arrest Huang Tao back to the yamen, he just wanted to scare Huang Tao, but he didn't know that the next day it was cold and cold, so he wrote a recital to the emperor to complain to Wu Shijie.

Leng Qing Hanshui was not an official in the court, but there were many of his students who were officials in the court, and Leng Qinghan's recital was soon presented to Chu Mo.

Leng Qinghan listed Wu Shijie's ten major crimes, and even bluntly said that Wu Shijie was like the emperor of the capital, ignoring the law of the country, and arbitrarily imprisoning the famous Shizi, who now knows his life and death.

Chu Mo was furious after looking at the watch, and ordered Shu Hang, the young secretary of Dali Temple, to strictly investigate Wu Shijie, if Wu Shijie was really so arrogant, he would be severely punished.

Wu Shijie was extremely shocked when he heard the news, but it happened too fast, he had no time to do anything, and on the same day, Wu Shijie, Han Dongqiu and others involved in the case were all imprisoned, and Huang Tao was rescued.

Shu Hang is a person who was promoted by Chu Moshang when he was the prince, he did not care about the obstruction of Prince Su and his party, only two days, Wu Shijie was investigated, and the unjust, false and wrongful cases he sentenced were turned over, and the account books of private bribes were also found out, and the account books were shocking, these are all ironclad evidence of his bribery and dereliction of duty.

When the court opened again, the court had already moved to Dali Temple, and Wu Shijie also changed from a person who tried the case to a criminal, Wu Shijie didn't expect things to turn out like this.

Han Dongqiu also didn't expect things to develop to such a point, he spent money to ask the official to contact Zuo Hongwen, but Zuo Hongwen had already been beaten and locked up by his father.

Zuo Ming just asked someone to secretly send him a dagger, and the person who sent the dagger brought him a sentence, saying that his wife and children, old and young, would help take care of him, so that Han Dongqiu should not take it to heart.

This seemed to be appeased, but Han Dongqiu knew that Zuo Ming wanted him to commit suicide, even if he didn't bite Zuo Hongwen out this time, but his life was a threat, Han Dongqiu's family was pinched in Zuo Ming's hands, if he didn't die, his family would be unlucky.
