Chapter 373: Things have long been wrong

And the servant, who was already powerless, was killed on the spot, and the person who planted the explosives did not want to stay alive at all.

"Everyone be careful, explosives are likely to be planted in the house, try not to go outside the stone slab."

Tang Chuyao suddenly said loudly.

Jin'an, who came over later, was stunned when he heard Tang Chuyao's words.

Explosives were actually planted in the house?

"What the hell is going on?"

Jin'an asked in a wooden wheelchair.

"According to my guess, it is very likely that this explosive was deliberately buried in the mansion by Gu Xueran in order to retaliate, and the sun rises in the east, just where this servant was blown up, and this explosive will explode once it touches a little spark or is illuminated by direct sunlight."

Tang Chuyao pointed to the explosive pit next to his feet and said.

When Chu Tianchen heard this, he quickly pulled her to his side, looking vigilant.

"Gu Xueran is so careless about human life, I must kill this beast with my own hands!"

Jin'an looked at the servant who was lying in a pool of blood, and had already lost his breath, clenched his fists and said angrily.

"It's not how to kill Gu Xueran now, if he does this kind of thing, he is naturally a person who has lost his conscience and annihilated his humanity, but since he planted explosives in the mansion, it must not be the only place where there is, and it just so happens that this servant has gone to the place where the explosives are planted."

Tang Chuyao said while comforting Jin'an.

If these explosives cannot be found, I am afraid that there will be a series of tragedies in this house.

Hearing this, Jin'an lowered his eyes and looked at his legs.

He couldn't even search for the explosives, he was a waste!

When the servants in the palace saw this scene, they didn't dare to search for these explosives that would kill people.

"The servants in the house don't know how to search for explosives, and they don't know how to remove explosives, and if you're not careful, someone will die, so let's just do this."

Tang Chuyao said.

Chu Tianchen glanced at her and expressed his willingness.

"But in that way, aren't you very dangerous?"

Jin'an asked uneasily.

"Don't worry, I won't play with my life."

Tang Chuyao said, and took Chu Tianchen to search for explosives.

There is a place where you can come into contact with fire and strong sunlight, and there are often people who go there, except for the kitchen where the courtyard is against the wall.

But Yue Qing had also boiled porridge in the kitchen before, although there were no accidents, but he couldn't take it lightly.

In order to prevent the explosives from being exposed to the sun, the yard was covered with a black cloth all around.

Fortunately, this explosive will only explode on contact with sparks and eyes, and will not explode due to contact with people.

In this way, as long as the sunlight is blocked and the fire is not touched, it is still safe for Tang Chuyao and Chu Tianchen.

After working for a long time, Tang Chuyao and Chu Tianchen found more than 20 explosives in various corners of the courtyard wall in the mansion and put them in buckets.

Taking advantage of Chu Tianchen's inattention, Tang Chuyao took out a part of the immortal spring water from the space and poured it on the explosives, which was completely relieved.

And the origin of these explosives, with these quantities, it is easy to trace.

Chu Tianchen seemed to see through what Tang Chuyao was thinking, took the name marked on the outer layer of the explosives, and quickly brought a shopkeeper to the mansion.

"You have also seen that these things have been used to harm people, the bones of the deceased are not cold, I wonder if the shopkeeper can go to the yamen with us to testify that Gu Xueren did deliberately kill people?"

Tang Chuyao deliberately let the shopkeeper see the scene of the servant's tragic death.

The shopkeeper had never seen such a tragic death, and he was so frightened that he couldn't stop trembling.

He replied again and again.

"I am willing to go with you to the yamen to testify."

With the shopkeeper, Tang Chuyao and Chu Tianchen rushed to the yamen first, but Jin'an's legs and feet were inconvenient and they fell behind.

In the hall of the county government, the onlookers heard that such a horrific tragedy had occurred in Jin'an Mansion, and they gathered around the lobby to talk to each other.

"This is too vicious!"

"I don't think so, the scars on Gu Xueran's hands before are deep and visible, and now that he is in prison, how can he use this method to harm others?"

"That makes sense! I'm afraid this is another ruthless trick that those rich and noble people came up with, it's really vicious! ”

"But it's also true that Gu Xueran seriously injured Gongzi Jin'an's sister, why don't you say it?"

For a while, the voices outside the county hall became louder and louder, and there were different opinions, but no one could convince anyone.

"Silence!"

The county order shouted, and the originally noisy crowd outside the county hall fell silent in an instant, and then watched Gu Xueran being taken to the lobby and kneeling on the ground.

It's just that Gu Xueran couldn't see the slightest guilt and remorse on his face, only arrogance.

Glancing at Jin'an, he hooked his lips and sneered.

"You bought a lot of explosives before, and now you kill others, can you plead guilty?"

The county commander asked in a deep voice.

"I bought something, but who saw me hurt people with those things? Is it just speculation that my lord decided the case? ”

Gu Xueran asked rhetorically.

The county commander was stunned, he didn't expect this Gu Xueran to say such a thing.

But people can testify, except for the shopkeeper who sold explosives materials to Gu Xueran, no one else can prove that he buried the explosives in Jin'an's house.

Tang Chuyao not only clenched her fists, but also made Gu Xueran take advantage of the loophole.

But they don't even have a solution, which is really annoying.

But Gu Xueran looked like she had a clear conscience, looking at him, Jin'an slapped the handle of the wooden wheelchair.

"Gu Xueran! Originally, I only thought that everything was directed at me, but I didn't expect that in your heart, human life can be so child's play! ”

"I said, what does the murder in your house have to do with me? What's more, I was in prison at the time of the incident, how did I go to your house to harm people? ”

Gu Xueran smiled disdainfully.

"Is your heart made of stone? Hurt people and kill people without repentance, and there is no more vicious person I have ever seen than you. Jin'an rebuked angrily.

A person who died so tragically was still alive until then, and in the blink of an eye, he became a corpse.

But Gu Xueran, the initiator, didn't have the slightest remorse!

"Vicious? Even if I can make you hate me so much, you can remember me for the rest of your life, and life and death are not so important to me. ”

Gu Xueran lowered her head and said self-deprecatingly.

"You ......"

Jinan choked on his words.

The words that I wanted to scold him angrily were blocked in my throat, and I couldn't say half a word again.

"Lord County Commander, since he refuses to admit it, let him confront the shopkeeper."

Tang Chuyao glanced at Gu Xueran and said.

The tension on Gu Xueran's face flashed, and then calmed down.

"I just bought something from him, and he saw me make explosives?"

Gu Xueran still asked rhetorically.

Tang Chuyao didn't answer, so the county order asked the shopkeeper named Wang Heng.

"Wang Heng, when did Gu Xueran go to your store to buy the materials for explosives?"

The county commander asked in a deep voice.

"Before he was imprisoned, he also asked the grass people how many explosives these saltpeters and sulfur could be made and how powerful they were!"

Wang Heng knelt on the ground and replied.

"And how much explosives can these make? Can the power blow people up? ”

The prefectural magistrate asked again.

"Before the grass people came here, they saw the explosives that Miss Tang found out, the ones that Gu Xueran bought were completely sufficient, not to mention people, even if a cow approached, it would be blown up!"

The shopkeeper looked up at the county order and said.

When the county magistrate heard this, he slapped the wood violently and shouted: "Gu Xueran, don't you admit that you deliberately killed someone?" ”

Without waiting for Gu Xueran to answer, two officials walked in from outside the hall, with a few palm-sized cloth bags in the tray in their hands, and walked to the county magistrate to present the cloth bags one by one.

Seeing the cloth bag in front of the county commander, Gu Xueran's face suddenly turned like ashes.

When the county order opened it, it was filled with a little extra explosives, and it was not enough to make explosives of the same power.

"My lord, this was found from Gu Xueran's house."

A servant said respectfully.

"Gu Xueran, do you still have to quibble?"

The county magistrate asked sharply.

"What about me? I only hate not Jin'an, otherwise, we also have a companion on Huangquan Road, but it doesn't matter, Jin'an may not be able to stand up again in this life, and I can only be a cripple and die lonely for the rest of my life! ”

Gu Xueran looked up to the sky and laughed as she spoke.

"Gu Xueran, in vain I used to treat you as a close friend, but I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful and ruthless!"

Jin'an couldn't hold back his anger and scolded.

"If you scold, you won't have a chance in the future, but it can make you lonely for the rest of your life, even if I want to be beheaded, I will die without regrets."

Gu Xueran laughed even more crazily.

"Gu Xueran, I'll fight with you!"

Jin'an scolded angrily and was about to pounce on the wooden wheelchair, but he couldn't stand up on his legs and almost fell to the ground.

Tang Chuyao quickly pressed Jin'an and pulled the wheelchair, which didn't make Jin'an fall to the ground, but he was still emotional.

"Jin'an, don't get excited, now that the evidence is conclusive, he will be punished for several crimes, and he will not be able to escape."

Tang Chuyao comforted Jin'an, and when she heard her words, Jin'an's emotions barely calmed down a little.

Sitting in a wooden wheelchair, Jin An didn't want to look at Gu Xueran any more, so he didn't look to the side.

Then, the county order sentenced Gu Xueran to several crimes and punishment, and sentenced him to behead after the autumn.

Leaving the county office, Jin'an never looked at Gu Xueran again, and let the maid push him away from the county office.

On the way home, Jin'an was silent, and no one knew what was going on in his heart.

Back in the house, Jin'an sat in the courtyard and looked at his legs, and suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha...... Gu Xueran is dying! He's going to be beheaded! ”

laughed and laughed, but Jin'an was already in tears.

The memories related to Gu Xueran in my mind all surfaced.

From acquaintance to treating him as a close friend, he never felt that there was a so-called gap between the rich and the poor with Gu Xueran.

Jin'an didn't understand, how did he and Gu Xueran get to where they are today?

only laughs at creation and makes people, and his life is out of his own hands.

Tang Chuyao could see that Jin An was uncomfortable early in the morning, but he didn't dare to vent it outside.

Looking at Jin'an's appearance, Tang Chuyao walked over and patted Jin'an's shoulder.
