Chapter 53: The thief shouts to catch the thief

suspecting the poison of the Liu family is not a disguised way to say that he suspects that the Liu family framed him.

Gu Pingyin looked at Si Juan with appreciation, as if Si Juan's answer was exactly what she wanted.

"Zhong Sheng, you just said that General Ben would spare your life, where did you start?" Gu Pingyin asked.

Zhong Sheng climbed to the center, and his body trembled, "If the villain tells the truth, can the general ...... From a light hair?"

"Then you don't need to say it, General Ben will check it himself. Gu Pingyin did not hesitate to veto Zhong Shengti's request.

Zhong Sheng's face was even more bitter than eating Coptis chinensis, and in desperation, he had no choice but to tell the truth, "Yes... It was the villain who poisoned them, including the villain's father... It was also poisoned by the villain!"

As soon as Zhong Sheng's words came out, the people outside the yamen were silent, they kept standing in Zhong Shengfang, accusing Si Juan, but they didn't expect that in the end, it was Zhong Sheng's thief who shouted to catch the thief.

"There was a man who came to find the villain and gave the villain a lot of money, and he asked me to pour the medicine in this bottle into the water that the people who would go to the Sijia field to make trouble at night would drink!"

"For the sake of money, you killed your own father?" Gu Pingyin frowned, as if he would be angry at any time.

"The villain didn't expect this, and the villain didn't expect my father to be among the people who went to make trouble, but I couldn't help it...... They said I took the money, and if I didn't do it, I would have to drink the bottle!"

Gu Pingyin sighed and said, "Take Zhong Sheng down and interrogate it carefully, and don't let go of a single detail!"

"Yes!"

Zhong Sheng was dragged down by Gu Pingyin's subordinate army, and in the process of dragging down, some villagers of Puzhong Village who followed him to sue Si Wan got up and kicked him fiercely.

If it weren't for the catch, I was afraid that Zhong Sheng would have to die at their hands.

"Since the matter has nothing to do with Miss Si, then please ask Miss Si to go home, and I will send someone to inform you if there is any news. Gu Pingyin said.

"Thank you General Gu for your kindness, but I still want to catch the person who framed me personally. Si Wan said.

Gu Pingyin didn't bother to take care of Si Xuan, and after saying a casual word, he casually flipped through the books on the desk.

Many villagers in Puzhong Village came to intercede with Si Juan, saying that they were all kept in the dark by Zhong Sheng, and they didn't know that the murderer would be Zhong Sheng.

Si Juan helped them up, most of the people brought by Zhong Sheng were women and children, probably thinking that this was a vulnerable group, and they would feel that they were the victim when they made trouble.

"I don't care about that, and rest assured, I won't be angry with you because of it. ”

"Thank you, Miss Si!"

"That's... The field of the Si family, will Miss Si still rent it to us...... But we can't afford to pay the land tax we owed for the first five years, and it's tripled. A middle-aged woman asked, but then lowered her head weakly.

"I said yesterday that the Si family's land can be rented to you as usual, and the tax will be reduced by half, and you don't have to make up the tax for the first five years, and what will be tripled. ”

"If you had agreed yesterday, those five probably wouldn't have died. Si Wan said.

One of the middle-aged women patted her thigh and said bitterly: "We haven't heard about this at all, what Zhong Sheng came back to tell us is that Miss Si asked us to triple the taxes in arrears for the first five years!"

"It's all Zhong Sheng's dead cub, I really can't wait to skin this dead child now!"

Si Juan smiled helplessly, someone deliberately wanted Si Juan to have an accident.

Zhong Sheng is just a knife held in the hands of others, and it is also a knife that has rusted and cannot be sharpened, which is too stupid.

Si Juan didn't wait long, and the official came back with Zhong Sheng's confession, Zhong Sheng was still afraid that the official would torture him, so he confessed as soon as he arrived in the back hall.

But his confession didn't do much either, it was nothing more than a mysterious person who appeared and gave him a sum of money to poison the person who went to Sijia's field last night.

As for who the mysterious person was, Zhong Sheng only said that he didn't know, and he didn't see his face clearly, the man was wearing a cloak, and his voice was like a man and a woman, and there was no distinction between male and female.

Zhong Sheng confessed, and also returned Si Juan's innocence, and the people who were blocking outside the yamen to watch the excitement suddenly felt bored, and they should go home one after another, and sell vegetables.

When leaving the county office, Si Juan arranged for the Si housekeeper to take 50 taels of silver from the Si family's treasury to the families of the villagers of Puzhong Village who died this time as a comfort.

When the villagers of Puzhong Village heard this, they gratefully took Si Juan's hand and cried heartbreakingly.

No matter how much money there is, it can't get back the lives of his family.

"Do you want to continue to find out who instigated Zhong Sheng to poison and kill five villagers?" Gu Pingyin walked over and stood side by side with Si Juan, although he was talking to Si Juan, he didn't look at Si Juan.

"I prefer to do it myself rather than find them and put them in jail. Si Wan said.

Gu Pingyin chuckled: "Then I'll wait and see." It's a pity that Yang Liu arranged this game for me couldn't let you escape. ”

"This is all thanks to General Gu's impartial law enforcement, otherwise I would be in prison now. Si Wan turned his head to look at Gu Pingyin.

The sharpness between Gu Pingyin's eyebrows and eyes was not inferior to that of a man, and she also happened to turn her head sideways to meet Si Juan's gaze, "Although you are not stupid, you are not enough to be my rival." ”

"I'm waiting for the day when you are qualified to be my rival, and we will compete with Nan Gongjin fairly. ”

After that, Gu Pingyin walked out of the county office, leaving Si Juan alone for a long time before coming back to his senses.

It turned out that Gu Pingyin was talking about competing with Nan Gongjin fairly, she wouldn't think that Si Juan was also in love with Nan Gongjin.

But even if Si Juan doesn't love Nan Gongjin, with her status as Nan Gongjin's fiancΓ©e now, she can be regarded as her rival in love.

Si Juan was also a little curious, Gu Pingyin was in love with Nan Gongjin, so why didn't the two of them work together......

Another guess popped up in Si Juan's head, could it be that Nan Gongjin was using her!

The various teasing things about her that night were actually to make Si Juan fall in love with him and die for him, so that Si Juan could work for him.

When Si Juan won what he wanted for him, either Si Juan died, or Nan Gongjin kicked her away, and then Nan Gongjin and Gu Ping were together in good faith!

Thinking of this, Si Wan's teeth grinded loudly, she won't be a stepping stone for others again, absolutely not!

............

When I returned to the palace, it was already dark, the sky was very overcast, and there was not a single star, indicating a rainy day tomorrow.

Si Juan is not open to love, and she only had a relationship with Ying Sichen in her previous life, so she seemed very helpless in the face of Nan Gongjin's teasing.
