At the dinner table, Gu Rao told Gu Qingcheng what happened to Wen Mo.

Gu Qingcheng slapped his hand on the table, his expression extremely angry.

"That's unreasonable!"

"This is still within the county town, but someone dares to commit such a blatant crime. Do they still have the law in their eyes? How does the county magistrate govern Donghuang County?"

Gu Rao said, "The county magistrate is greedy for money. In just a few months since he took over Donghuang County, countless unjust cases have occurred."

"Wen Mo has a righteous heart and always redresses the injustice of those who have been wronged. The county magistrate may have been annoyed with him for a long time. He has also made some people unhappy. This time the person dared to break into the house and commit murder when Wen Mo was not at home. I'm afraid it's okay. With the approval of the county magistrate.”

"They probably want to give Wen Mo a warning so that he will not interfere in things he shouldn't interfere in the future."

Gu Qingcheng fell into deep thought.

"Wen Mo is a scholar with integrity, but it's a pity..."

"Your guess is not unreasonable."

"If Lu Zhi's death is really related to the county magistrate, this matter may be a bit difficult to handle."

Gu Rao also knew that it was difficult to handle, so he was so distressed and entangled.

Although she sympathized with Wen Mo and Lu Zhi's experiences, she was more worried about her husband. If Wen Mo Ming offended the county magistrate because of his injustice, wouldn't it be more difficult for her husband to escape from prison?

I don't know how he is doing now.

Gu Qingcheng said, "If this matter is really related to the county magistrate, only officials higher than the county magistrate can bring the murderer to justice."

Gu Rao asked, "Is it okay for a higher official, the prefect of Ningzhou?"

Donghuang County is under the jurisdiction of Ningzhou, so the prefect should be able to handle this matter. It is not that simple for ordinary people to complain to the prefect, but if someone knows the prefect, they can write to the prefect. Notify this matter.

Gu Qingcheng said, "Let's wait and see what happens. After your matter is settled, we will see how the county magistrate handles the case of Lu Zhi's murder. If he handles it unfairly and does not find the murderer, I will write to my father-in-law. , let him help handle it."

"Don't worry, uncle will be with you for everything."

-

The next day, Gu Rao came to the Yamen early in the morning, and Bieye's cases began to be accepted. When he saw that Bieye was intact, his tense heart finally relaxed a little.

As a family member of the defendant, she can kneel with Bieye.

He quickly looked over him and asked, "How are you? Is anyone bullying you in the cell?"

Don't laugh wildly.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Gu Rao said, "If you can't laugh, then stop laughing. Let me tell you good news. I have an uncle who found me. Now I also have someone behind me. The county magistrate doesn't dare to do anything to you!"

Doubt flashed across Beiye's eyes.

"uncle?"

Gu Rao nodded.

"I just found out yesterday that Gu Wufei's father, the dean of Qiushui Academy, is my uncle. No wonder I always feel a sense of intimacy when I see Gu Wufei. It turns out he is my cousin."

What else did the two want to say.

Above the high hall, Xin Guanghui slapped the alarm.

"quiet!"

Gu Rao shook Bieye's hand, smiled at him and said nothing.

Xin Guanghui symbolically asked the victim's family and the defendant to learn more about the ins and outs of the matter.

"Bieye, did you really hit someone?"

Biyeye frowned slightly.

"The man jumped on him. The civilian was just defending himself. He didn't use much force when he hit him, but he fell to the ground inexplicably."

Wu Huichun testified, "Sir, I have been studying medical skills for many years, so I can't be wrong. The man did die of poisoning, and it seems that he was poisoned by arsenic."

"Your Excellency, let me check it out, and you will know that what the grassman said is true."

Xin Guanghui glanced at the door of the Yamen.

Gu Qingcheng was standing outside, paying close attention to the developments inside.

Xin Guanghui's eyes became meaningful.

"Somebody come!"

"Bring the deceased up and pass it on to the deceased."

The yamen servant quickly put the body on the table, and Wu Zuo also came quickly. He brought many professional tools and squatted next to the body to inspect it.

After about an hour of burning incense, Wu Zuo finally finished the inspection.

"Replying to your lord, the deceased was killed by a heavy blow. I have examined him and found that there was a large bruise on his chest. The fatal injury should be on his chest."

As soon as these words came out, the people watching outside were in an uproar.

Some of the onlookers came here specially from Yezhu Town. Originally, based on Dr. Wu's reputation in Yezhu Town, they somewhat believed Dr. Wu when he said that the man died of poisoning. Now everyone says he was beaten to death. Then, it must be Dr. Wu who lied.

These people were very sad.

"Doctor Wu is an old fool. He has accumulated a reputation for decades, but now it is ruined because he protected other bosses. I will never trust Dr. Wu again!"

"What they said yesterday seemed to be true. I almost thought he was actually poisoned to death."

"Don't be too cruel, boss!"

……

People outside were chattering, and Wu Huichun was also confused by Wu Zuo's words. It took him a while to react, and the hand pointing at Wu Zuo was trembling.

"Who were you instructing?"

"Aren't you afraid of retribution if you tell blind lies like this?"

Wu Zuo looked calm.

"Everything I said is true."

For a moment, Wu Huichun wondered if he had seen it wrong, but when he thought about Luo Shi's behavior of not letting him check the body yesterday, he immediately thought of the connection.

It turned out to be waiting for him here!

Although he could tell that the deceased had died of poisoning, he had no conclusive evidence because he had not examined the body.

Wu Zuo continued his actions and opened the deceased's clothes, revealing a bruise on his chest for everyone to see.

"You see, this is his fatal wound."

Xin Guanghui's face darkened, he slapped the gavel heavily, pointed at Bieye and said, "Now that the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?"

This turn of events was unexpected by Gu Rao.

Didn't Gu Qingcheng say that the county magistrate would definitely clear her husband's name?

How could the county magistrate change his mind temporarily?

Don't be ashamed.

"Why bother to accuse someone?"

"After the deceased died yesterday, his wife Luo Shi kept blocking us from checking the body. Her behavior was suspicious. Your Excellency, you might as well question her carefully and maybe we can get some clues."

"She probably poisoned the person to death."

Luo Shi has been crying since he was brought there. After hearing Bieye's words, he cried even more heartbrokenly.

"You beast!"

"My husband is my life, you killed him, and now you want to impose the crime of killing him on me!"

"He won't let you go even if he dies. He will definitely come to you for revenge in the middle of the night!"

Xin Guanghui sneered.

"The evidence is all in front of you. The fatal wound is the chest. You still want to quibble? Come here, suppress the criminal Bieye. Qiuhou... no, I will kill him in three days!"

"Retire!"

"Wait a minute!"

Gu Qingcheng walked in.

"Sir, even serious criminals have a chance to overturn their convictions. Usually, they are interrogated after the fall. There are many doubts in this case, but you hastily decided to interrogate in three days. Is it too hasty?"
