Zhu Liu was very anxious and wanted to slip away, but the gang must be staring at him, and he had already come to the court, so the prefect would not let him leave easily.

Now I only hope that the eighth can do something and kill that group.

Old Man Gu was very flustered, and when he saw that the prefect stopped talking after he finished asking, he couldn't stand the panic in his heart, and explained: "My lord, Fei's death has nothing to do with anyone, she died of illness herself...... She's not in good health, her mother's family is a group of short-lived ghosts, and she's the only one left in the whole family, if she doesn't die......"

"Shut up!" Gu Dashan really couldn't listen to it anymore, what did Old Man Gu mean by this? Who are you mocking? It's not enough to talk about his mother, do you want to talk about his grandfather's house?

Old Man Gu was stunned, he didn't expect Gu Dashan to dare to shut him up.

He was angry, and that arrogance came out again, pointing at Gu Dashan and was about to scold, but the third grandmother sprayed a mouthful of spit on his old face: "Phew, why is Fei's mother's family a group of short-lived ghosts?" You are not afraid of retribution when you say this. Fei's family is a military household, and all the men in the family died on the battlefield, and all the pension money given to you was fed to this dog. If you don't appreciate it, you still come to laugh at the Fei family, you are still not human! ”

Long'an Mansion is in the northwest, and there is a group of special people in the northwest, that is, the family of military households, and the Fei family was born in the family of military households.

Fei's wife didn't want her daughter to marry a military family and suffer the pain of life and death, so she married Fei's to Gujia Village, Gaoshui County, so that she could live a safe life without being a widow like herself.

The third grandmother poked at the pain of the old man Gu, when his family was able to have silver to build a blue brick house, buy land, and buy cattle, all of which were the pension silver brought by the Fei family.

Old Man Gu didn't dare to speak anymore, for fear that the third grandmother would say something about him spending money on his daughter-in-law's mother's family.

But the third grandmother had already had enough of him, and pointed at Old Man Gu and scolded: "At the beginning, it was your mother who cried and begged to marry Fei, and you yourself cursed and swore that you would be good to Fei, and you would not treat her poorly because her father and brother died on the battlefield." As a result, you, a brute, are sucking the blood of the Fei family while laughing at the Fei family for being a short-lived ghost......"

When the lively people heard this, they exploded again, and they couldn't see it, Old Man Gu was still a wreck who ate soft rice.

The storytellers were very good and soon spread the word.

The master who had left with the official finally came back, took back a box, handed the box to the ancient prefect, and whispered to him.

Old Man Gu wanted to listen to it, but he knelt under the hall, the ancient prefect was sitting in the hall, and his ear power was not very good at a short distance, and he only heard a hissing voice, and he couldn't hear what the ancient prefect was talking at all?

After a while, the ancient prefect finished talking to the master, and asked the master to take the contents of the box to show the old man Gu: "Gu Shengxiang, come and recognize, is the medicinal herb in the box a red blood vine or a blood thorn vine?" ”

Old Man Gu looked at the medicinal herbs in the box, and saw that it was a vine-like medicinal herb the size of a mung bean, a finger long, blood-red, and without small thorns, and immediately understood the meaning of the ancient prefect.

This is to make him recognize the medicinal herbs, if he admits his mistake, then he may be judged to be the one who killed Fei.

But this kind of medicinal herb is different from what he gave Fei Shi back then, and what he gave Fei Shi was one with small thorns.

Why did he remember it so clearly?

It's just that in two months, he has given Fei Shi at least a dozen times that kind of medicinal herb, and it is difficult to recognize it.

But the old man Gu was suspicious by nature, for fear that the ancient prefect would deceive him, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while, and he didn't know whether to say that this was a red blood vine, or whether to say that it was not?

Gu Zhifu sneered, he had long seen through that Old Man Gu was a villain, and reminded him: "This is a matter of your life and death, you have to recognize it clearly." ”

As soon as these words came out, Old Man Gu was frightened and blurted out: "No, this medicinal herb is not the red blood vine I gave to Fei's to eat, the kind of red blood vine has small thorns, and I have been pricked by it a few times." ”

After hearing this, the ancient prefect's face was as usual, and he asked again, "Are you sure?" Don't admit your mistake. ”

Old Man Gu felt that the ancient prefect would ask this, he must have said it right, and immediately said: "The old man didn't admit his mistake, this is not a red blood vine, but a small thorn." ”

The ancient prefect looked at the master again.

The master took out a bag, took out a few medicinal herbs from it, handed it to Old Man Gu and asked, "Do you recognize it, this is the medicinal herb you gave to Fei's family?" ”

Old Man Gu looked at the medicinal herbs and said in surprise: "Yes, yes, that's it, this is the red blood vine I gave Fei Shi to eat, which tonifies the body, and says that it can cure women's diseases." ”

He also emphasized: "My lord, I didn't harm Fei, I really didn't harm her." ”

The ancient prefect still ignored Old Man Gu, but looked at the three scribes on the right side of the court and asked, "Can you write it down?" ”

One of the scribes nodded: "Lord Hui, I have written it all down." ”

These three scribes are specially used to record the statements of witnesses, defendants, and plaintiffs in the public court, and these recorded words will become confessions.

The ancient prefect waved his hand: "Draw a charge for Old Man Gu." ”

A scribe immediately got up and came to Old Man Gu with a few pieces of paper full of words: "This is what you just said, it will be used as a confession, press the handprint." ”

Old Man Gu was very flustered, thinking that pressing his handprint to draw on himself would be considered a conviction, and he was unwilling to press it.

The ancient prefect sneered and pointed at Zhu Liudao: "If you can't believe this mansion, you can let the Li family next to you show you if this mansion has deceived you into drawing a detention." ”

Finally, he reminded: "When you go to court and speak, all your words will be recorded by the scribe as a confession, and those who do not draw the prisoner will be punished for the crime of playing in court." ”

Old man Gu is about to cry, why is it a crime to do anything in court?

Zhu Liu was shocked, the ancient prefect dared to expose his identity like this, it can be seen that he didn't plan to save face for Lord Li.

And Old Man Gu also came to beg him: "You help me see, is it what I said before?" Is there any nonsense that has been added to it? ”

Zhu Liu really wanted to tear up this confession, but he still read it patiently, and finally said: "That's right, it's all what you said in court." ”

If according to this confession, then Old Man Gu should be innocent.

After listening to this, Old Man Gu pressed his handprint on the confession.

However, when he finished pressing his handprint, the prefect ordered: "Come on, take down Old Man Gu, and then take the warrant of this mansion to Gu Mansion on Moxiang Street and arrest the murderer Gu Pan!" ”

"What, what's going on? My lord, why did you arrest the old man? The old man didn't harm Fei's family, she couldn't survive her own short life and died! Old Man Gu was completely panicked, crying and shouting injustice.

The ancient prefect didn't talk nonsense with him, and directly called out Doctor Xiao: "Doctor Xiao, tell him what is the red blood vine and what is the blood thorn vine?" ”

Doctor Xiao came out of the screen behind the public hall and pointed to the two kinds of blood vines that were still placed in front of Old Man Gu and said, "This blood-red thornless vine-like medicinal herb is a red blood vine, which has the effects of invigorating blood, replenishing blood and treating women's diseases. This kind of blood thorn vine with small thorns is also a medicinal material, but it is septic, and it also contains heat poison. If a woman with a disease uses this medicine, it will only worsen the condition and eventually the uterine pelvis will rot and die. ”

Finally, he said: "You gave your daughter-in-law a bloody thorn vine back then, and it was this medicine that killed her." ”
