Chapter Twenty-Four: The Murderer Is Among Them
When the words fell, everyone was in an uproar.
"Not Gu Qinghuan? How can it be! β
"That is to say, doesn't it mean that there are all human and physical evidence?"
"It can't be a bluff, right?"
Most people are skeptical.
"If it's really a bluff, the Gu family dares to come to the Marquis Mansion of Wuding with great fanfare? Nine times out of ten, evidence has been found to overturn the case, right? β
"This ...... Seems to make sense! β
"It's better to wait here, and see if the Hou Mansion of Wuding will send the people of the Gu family out or drive them out! knows whether Gu Qinghuan is innocent or guilty! β
"That's right!"
The onlookers talked a lot, and none of them left, but they really stayed at the gate of the Marquis of Wuding Mansion and stretched their necks and waited to see the excitement.
"Does anyone want a freshly baked bun? Don't miss it! Don't neglect your health just because you're busy! β
"Sell benches! If you want to watch the excitement for a long time, you have to buy a bench to be nice to yourself! β
"Is there a girl who wants to buy an oil-paper umbrella? Shade weapon! Buy a handful to keep your skin white and beautiful! β
The hawkers who had been waiting for a long time saw the business opportunity and immediately shouted.
The guards guarding the door of the Marquis of Wuding watched the street at the door turn into a vegetable market, the corners of their eyes twitched, and after pondering for a while, they still felt that peace came first, and it was not bad to be lively, and they couldn't go to drive people away.
It's not that they're afraid of the people being outnumbered.
Definitely not.
β¦β¦
The Marquis of Wuding's mansion, inside the hall.
Wuding Hou Chuteng and Yong'an Hou Gu Yixian sat on the main seat above, while Gu Jingxing and Gu Yiwen sat below.
The atmosphere in the room froze, Chu Teng stared at Gu Yixian tightly, Gu Yixian had a faint face, and was not afraid of Chu Teng's hidden fierce gaze.
A sandalwood screen divides the hall into two sides, and behind the white veil embroidered with landscape, there are many figures.
It is the women of the Chu family and the Gu family.
Chu Teng's mother left early, and today it is Chu Teng's wife Chu Lin, who is in charge of the overall situation on behalf of the Chu family, not from a rich background, her father is just a veteran, she has never seen many big scenes, and she looks a little uncomfortable in the face of the noble ladies and daughters of the Gu family.
But as soon as he thought of what happened to his daughter in the Gu family, Chu Lin straightened his back, sat on the main seat with Gu He, and stared at the bright-looking girl standing next to Gu He, Gu Qinghuan.
Gu Qinghuan was not weak-hearted, and saluted to Chu Lin's family: "Auntie is good." β
Chu Lin didn't expect Gu Qinghuan, who had a domineering face, to be so polite, slightly stunned, and forgot the cruel words he had prepared this morning.
ββ¦β¦ Hum! β
At this time, a slightly disdainful voice came from Chu Lin's side, and he muttered in a low voice: "It's really good at pretending!" β
As soon as Gu Qinghuan turned his eyes, he saw a girl's face with heroic eyebrows and eyes, frowning and staring at her.
"Miss Chu is okay." Gu Qinghuan smiled faintly.
Chu Xuan showed a ghostly look: "Gu Qinghuan, you have nothing to do and smile at me!" β
Do you really think that if you smile so well, you will forget that she is a straw bag?
Dream! Don't!
Chu Xuan turned her face away, but a trace of emptiness flashed in her eyes.
Thinking of what Yan Jin said to her last night, Chu Xuan was a little unsure whether her impression of Gu Qinghuan was right or wrong.
"Xuanxuan." Chu Lin came back to his senses and coughed dryly.
Although she doesn't like this Gu Qinghuan either, she doesn't want her daughter to be sarcastically ridiculed and uneducated in the future.
was reminded by her mother, Chu Xuan ignored it, she didn't want to give the straw bag a good face, not to mention that the straw bag hurt herself, and the case has not been overturned!
In other words, before Gu Qinghuan came up with convincing evidence, Chu Xuan would still treat Gu Qinghuan as a murderer!
"Yong'an Hou."
On the other side of the screen, Chu Teng also heard the movement over there, he was too lazy to rub in, and went straight to the topic: "You sent a letter to my house this morning, saying that the person who pushed my family Xuanxuan at the banquet four days ago is not your daughter, and the murderer is someone else?" β
"That's right."
Gu Yixian spoke, and the screen was quiet, as if he was listening to the movement here, "Ben Hou came here today to wash away the grievances of the little girl and prove her innocence." β
Chu Teng frowned: "Then why did you bring some irrelevant people to the door?" β
That's a very polite remark.
But it's also true.
Not to mention Gu Jingxing and Gu Yiwen here, what Gu Yun, Gu Lingxian, and Cai Yuping are all here on the screen!
Coupled with the maids who followed the young lady, there was a large group of warblers and swallows!
Just to prove Gu Qinghuan's innocence, as for pulling all the relatives of the Gu Mansion?
Strength in numbers?
The flame is high when everyone gathers firewood?
Chu Teng sneered coldly and expressed his disdain, civil officials are troublesome, making a big fuss!
"This is the little girl's request." Gu Yixian ignored Chu Teng's ridicule and said as a matter of course.
Below, Gu Yiwen: "......" Therefore, I was strongly asked to ask for leave today and came to the Wuding Marquis Mansion early in the morning, just because of your daughter's words?!
Is your daughter carved in gold?
It's so expensive to say it?!
Gu Yiwen was sullen.
On the other side of the screen, Gu Qinghuan stood up at the right time and said to Chu Lin's family: "Auntie, it's not all unrelated that Qing Huan brought so many people here this time. β
Although Chu Lin was from a civilian background, he was not a fool, and when he heard something in Gu Qinghuan's words, he took the opportunity to ask, "What do you mean......?"
"The murderer is among these people." Gu Qinghuan's cold eyes swept over everyone present.
Some of the maidservants who didn't know the truth looked at each other.
Gu Yun looked left and right, and finally stared at Gu Lingxian, she always felt that her niece was not simple, looking at the little white flower, in fact......
Maybe it's a cannibal!
Gu Lingxian's face did not change, as if everything had nothing to do with her.
Cai Yuping tensed his body, trying not to let others see the abnormality, but his heart was pounding, and he clenched his hands nervously.
Behind her, Qing Yao's legs trembled, if it weren't for so many people watching, she would have fallen and sat down!
Gu Qinghuan......
Know she's the murderer?!
No, it can't be......
It's been a few days since the feast!
The evidence is gone!
How would Gu Qinghuan know who the murderer was?
It must be bluffing!
Maybe Gu Qinghuan found another substitute for the dead ghost?
Yes, that's right, that's it!
Qing Yao comforted himself and slowly regained his composure, but the hand hanging by his side trembled slightly.
"What?!"
Chu Lin listened to Gu Qinghuan's words, and almost stood up, she stared at Gu Qinghuan tightly: "What you said is true?" β
On the side, Chu Xuan couldn't help but look at the people brought by Gu Qinghuan with scrutinizing eyes, the murderer who pushed her into the water that day and used her as a knife to deal with Gu Qinghuan was in this group of people?!
"Of course it's true."
Gu Qinghuan changed his words: "It seems that it is not convincing to immediately reveal who the murderer is, it is better to start from the beginning and reveal the identity of the real murderer step by step." β
"First of all, Miss Chuβ"
Gu Qinghuan looked at Chu Xuan, "You said that the moment you were pushed into the water, you saw a purple corner of your clothes stained with tea stains?" β
