Chapter 867: Tonic Poison?
"What? What are you talking about? Are you going to sue Mrs. Gu for murdering your mother-in-law? How can this still pull out a murder case? The people who were listening were stunned, they didn't expect that the case of the old Gu family would evolve like this.
The storytellers were very excited, and they shouted vigorously: "The earth-shattering reversal, Gu Dashan accused Mrs. Gu of murdering his mother, and Mrs. Gu is suspected of murdering Mr. Gu's original partner!" ”
The voices of the storytellers are all practiced, they are as loud as bells, and they can be heard for half the street.
The people on the street were boiling, this was a murder case, but it was terrible, they all squeezed into the government office desperately, and almost broke the door of the government office.
Zhang Bantou couldn't stop him with a group of officials, and was squeezed in by more than a dozen people, stared at Old Man Gu, pointed at him, and said, "This is the old bastard surnamed Gu?" Look, it's not a good thing. ”
The ancient prefect and Tang Tongju were also stunned by Gu Dashan's sudden counter-accusation against Mrs. Gu, they didn't expect this to happen.
Tang Tongju was the first to react, pointing at the people who crowded into the court and shouting, "What are you doing? The court is heavy, how can you break in, get out quickly! ”
Tang Tong has been sentenced to come to He'an Mansion for more than two years, and he still can't adapt to the gossip of the people of He'an Mansion. The people of He'an Mansion seem to be very fond of gossip, and as long as there is a little wind and grass, they will flock to it, which is more terrible than a flood.
The ancient prefect silently wiped his cold sweat and patted the shocked wood and said: "Quiet, quiet, a big case of human life, how can you wait here to mess around?" If you dare to make a noise, this government will punish you for the crime of disturbing the court, or exile at the worst! ”
The people of He'an Mansion like to watch gossip, but they are afraid of death, so they hurriedly retreated when they heard this.
Zhang Bantou hurriedly brought the wooden fence of the palace gate, which stood in front of the gate of the public hall, so as not to let the people get too close, so they had to add: "Don't lean over, whoever dares to step over the wooden fence will be punished immediately!" ”
The people stood obediently in place, not daring to squeeze in again, but their necks were stretched out, and they shouted inside: "Lord Prefect, what are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and try the case, this is a big case of human life, and you can get credit after the trial. ”
The ancient prefect wanted to die, he had never seen such a lively person in his many years as an official.
Gu Jin'an and Cheng Ge'er knelt beside Gu Dashan, bowed to the ancient prefect, and pleaded: "My father's complaint against the Pan family for murdering my own grandmother, please accept it." ”
The third grandmother also took out a written confession, held it high above her head, and said: "My lord, the old woman was good friends with Dashan Niang back then, and she knew some things, and she wrote them all on it, so I beg my lord to take a look." ”
The prefect hurriedly instructed the scribe: "Bring Gu Dashan's paper and Gu Sanpo's confession." ”
"Yes." The scribe came down and was about to take the paper and confession, when Old Man Gu pounced, and the third grandfather hurriedly stopped Old Man Gu and blocked his flutter.
Luo Wu was taken aback, for fear that Old Man Gu would hurt people, so he directly picked up Old Man Gu's back collar and dragged him back.
Old Man Gu was stunned, and glared at Luo Wu angrily: "You stinky boy, you will fight against the old man when you are young, so many people died on the way to escape from the wilderness, why don't you die!" ”
scolded the third grandfather again: "And you, a eunuch who is desperate and can't give birth to a son, are all the mountains that your husband and wife have picked up, let him sue his stepmother." You guys are so poisonous, you want to make my house restless. ”
He said to Gu Dashan again: "Dashan, father's son, don't listen to Gu Shengxing's nonsense, your mother was not killed, she was not in good health after giving birth to you, she had a woman's disease, and she died before she survived, and it has nothing to do with Pan's!" ”
But no matter how Old Man Gu shouted, Gu Dashan looked ahead with a firm face, ignoring Old Man Gu.
Old Man Gu was shocked when he saw this, and knew that Gu Dashan was determined to sue the Pan family.
The scribe was afraid of Old Man Gu, and when he was stunned, he hurriedly took the paper handed by Gu Dashan, took the confession of the third grandmother, and presented it to the prefect.
Gu Dashan's statement and the confession of the third grandmother were both dictated and written by Gu Jin'an, so they were written very clearly and in detail, and the prefect could see it quite clearly.
Especially the confession of the third grandmother, which said that although Gu Dashan's mother-in-law Fei was not in good health after giving birth, she was not sick to the extent of dying. It was only after eating a kind of red blood vine that Old Man Gu brought home that his condition deteriorated, causing continuous menstrual bleeding, and finally he died of unbearable abdominal pain.
At first, they only thought that Fei Shi died of a woman's disease, but Gu Dashan's second daughter recognized the medicinal herbs and said that the kind of medicinal herbs with small thorns that Old Man Gu got back was not a red blood vine, but a blood thorn vine that could ruin people's blood and kill people.
Because these two things look very similar, it is easy for people who do not recognize the medicinal herbs to be mistaken.
The third grandmother once heard Fei's say that every time Old Man Gu went to Yuanjiaji, he would bring her back a red blood vine, hoping that her body could be well raised and she would have a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses in the future.
And Yuanjiaji is at the entrance of Yuanjia Village, which is the village of Mrs. Gu's ex-husband's family.
Later, Old Man Gu couldn't hide the matter between Old Man Gu and Mrs. Gu, and everyone knew that he went to Yuan's family to meet Mrs. Gu.
These seemingly trivial things, when connected in series, become a bloody murder case!
The ancient prefect was shocked, if what was written on the paper was true, then Mrs. Gu was too powerful as a country woman, and this was killing the Fei family through the hands of Old Man Gu.
However, there is another possibility, that is, Old Man Gu also knows that he is also the murderer of Fei.
But in order not to startle the snake, the prefect did not immediately condemn Old Man Gu as the murderer of his wife, but asked him: "Gu Shengxiang, this mansion asks you, two months before the death of your original wife Fei, did you eat something called red blood vine for her?" ”
Old Man Gu was shocked, he didn't dare to respond, but asked the ancient prefect tentatively: "Lord Prefect, you, what are you asking for?" ”
With a bang, the ancient prefect slapped the shocked wood and said angrily: "If this government asks you, you will answer honestly, dare to hide something, and the punishment will be served!" ”
Old Man Gu was so frightened that he didn't dare to test the ancient prefect again, but replied: "The old man did give Fei Shi a red blood vine, but it was because she was not in good health, and the red blood vine was used to replenish blood and cure diseases, so I brought it back to her to eat...... Who knew that she was too sick, and she didn't get better after taking good medicine, so she went within two months. ”
You can't blame him for this.
When Gu Dashan heard this, he didn't know whether he was sad or happy...... He wanted to avenge his mother, but he didn't want Old Man Gu to be the murderer of his mother.
When the prefect heard this, he whispered a few words to the master beside him, and the master left in a hurry with two servants.
In the courtroom, there was a terrible silence.
Zhu Liu knew that today's incident was a big deal, and he was so anxious that he searched for his own people in the crowd watching the excitement, and wanted them to report to Lord Li. Hell, the people he had placed in the shadows were suddenly gone.
It was the group of people who didn't know if it was a ghost or a ghost, and that group of people had been staring at them in the dark, quietly disposing of their manpower.
