Xiao Tai'an looked panicked, he lowered his head, faltering but couldn't speak clearly.

Gu Changwen patted the gavel, "Xiao Xiucai, you have to think twice, if you ask me to bring up witnesses, your crime of covering up will ruin all your reputation."

This is what Xiao Tai'an was afraid of. He was able to be admitted as a scholar because the entire Xiao family would have more face in the city. If it wasn't for this support, he would have listened to Dr. Xiao and become a doctor long ago.

"Yes... it's my father..."

Xiao Tai'an revealed his father with a painful face.

"Oh? Why did you say that?"

"My father is a doctor with excellent medical skills..."

Because of this, Dr. Xiao wanted to learn more and find more ways to practice medicine.

A few years ago, Dr. Xiao accidentally obtained a book of medical skills, which recorded a method to restore people's appearance.

For the disfigured, the remaining intact skin can be attached to restore the appearance.

Dr. Xiao was moved after reading it. He first asked his servants to buy back a lot of pigskin for operation, not wanting to make him irritable after repeated failures.

One day, a wounded man whose hand was peeled off by his master came to him for medical treatment. Dr. Xiao suddenly became very excited when he saw the skinless flesh and blood.

Afterwards, he sent his servants to catch some small animals in the suburbs, and when they were brought back, Dr. Xiao peeled off their skins by himself.

Repeated operations made Dr. Xiao fall in love with this feeling. He even thought that if he could peel off the damaged skin of the patient and then sew the intact skin on, the patient's appearance would definitely recover better.

Because of this obsession, he became more and more crazy, and he didn't care much about the pharmacy, leaving it all to the young disciples in the clan.

"A few years ago, my father received a letter from Xiao Yue, and set off for Anhe County the next day, and returned home a few days later. After several years, until last year, my father suddenly said I have to go back to my old house for two months..."

He said he was going back to the old house, but in fact he was looking for Xiao Yue. After Xiao Fulang found out about this, he became cold-hearted and stopped asking Dr. Xiao.

"My lord, the two months that Dr. Xiao was out were the days when Cuiping died."

Master Liu said in a low voice.

Gu Changwen nodded, he looked at the side office, Hong Qingrui clapped his hands and went down.

Lan Doumi followed two steps, then remembered the person standing behind him, and stopped.

The young man standing behind him smiled slightly when he saw this. When Lan Doumi turned around, the young man withdrew his smiling face and looked at the court with a blank expression.

After Hong Qingrui came out of the Pianya, he came to Butou Sun. Butou Sun made a move, and a man in his fifties was brought up. He walked with an iron lock on his hand and made a loud noise.

Hong Qingrui took a look at him and led him into the hall.

"My lord, Xiao Jinren brought it here!"

Xiao Jinren is Xiao Taian's father, Doctor Xiao.

Xiao Tai'an suddenly raised his head to look at Dr. Xiao, who took a deep look at him, then knelt down towards Gu Changwen in the hall.

Xiao Tai'an's breathing became slightly heavier, "Father, did he let you go or the adults?"

Dr. Xiao looked back at him, "Don't worry."

Xiao Tai'an pursed his lips, watching Doctor Xiao kneel down and worship Gu Changwen.

Qiuyue, who was in the yamen, looked at Dr. Xiao's front, then nodded to Deng Qing who was behind her, "That's the man."

Deng Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately left the side office.

"Xiao Jinren, do you know Cuiping?"

Dr. Xiao lowered his eyes, "I know."

"A little maid, how do you know her?"

Doctor Xiao calmly confessed his evil deeds.

"That day after I had a good deed with Xiao Yue, I drank some wine and heard her talk about a maid who made a mistake in the dungeon. Because she was a slave, she could beat and kill her if she wanted, but she didn't want it to be so easy. Let the other party go."

"It happened that the villain was keen on skinning, so she moved her mind. Xiao Yue agreed after hearing what the villain said, so I fainted Cuiping first, then tied her limbs, and started skinning. Unfortunately, This girl is too small, and her skin is tender, as soon as the skin was peeled to her waist, she lost her breath."

Speaking of this, Dr. Xiao's tone was full of regret and pity.

Lan Doumi took a deep breath, suppressing the rising nausea.

But the elder brother beside him shed tears.

Even though he knew how Cuiping died, and even after hearing it countless times, he still couldn't help feeling sorry for his sister, that silly sister who laughed for two days because of a candied haws, how painful it must be when she died. !

"Then Xiao Yue's death was written by you?" Gu Changwen asked after reading the skinning tool presented by Doctor Xiao and the correspondence with Xiao Yue.

Xiao Tai'an looked at Dr. Xiao, but Dr. Xiao didn't look at him, and directly confessed, "I also killed it. No one is so proficient in this skinning technique except me."

"Then tell me, how did you get in?"

Gu Changwen became interested.

Dr. Xiao pondered: "I bribed the maid guarding the door. As soon as that surnamed Zhou left, I took the opportunity to go in. After I finished my business, I left before dawn."

"Do you know the maidservant's name?"

"If the villain remembers correctly, that maid's name is Xiaohong."

That's right, it's also reasonable.

Gu Changwen nodded and asked someone to pass on Xiaohong.

As a result, Xiaohong failed to attend the hall, and she died while waiting for the hall.

"Died of poisoning."

After seeing the corpse, Wang Wuzuo went to the court and replied.

The smile on Gu Changwen's face disappeared bit by bit, "Well, under the watchful eyes of this official, murders can happen!"

After Wang Yuzuo was silent for a while, he still said frankly, "Return to my lord, that maid committed suicide."

The corner of Gu Changwen's mouth twitched, "You can go down now."

Wang Yu made a salute and left.

Gu Changwen looked at Dr. Xiao, but Dr. Xiao did not escape the crime, but replied, "My lord, I used some of Xiao Yue's puppet, and I put the rest in the box, and I brought it here this time."

After speaking, someone brought up the box that Dr. Xiao had mentioned, and opened it in front of everyone.

To the surprise of those present, the skin was preserved quite well, not only the skin, but also the smell.

Dr. Xiao was a little proud after seeing everyone's surprised expressions, "This is Xiao Yue's skin. There is a small birthmark on her right wrist, which proves that the villain is not lying."

The bustard came up and recognized the hand skin, it was indeed Xiao Yue's fault.

"So, you are indeed the one who killed Xiao Yue and Cuiping?"

Dr. Xiao didn't lift his eyelids

, "It is true that the villain did it, but my lord, Cuiping is a slave. Even if the villain kills her, it is at the request of her master. This life is not considered human life."

Gu Changwen sneered, "Not to mention the Cuiping incident, even the official Xiao Yue doesn't believe that you did it!"

Dr. Xiao and Xiao Tai'an raised their heads at the same time, neither of them looked good.

"Catcher Red, tell these two what you found out."

"Yes, my lord."

Hong Qingrui looked at Xiao Tai'an, "According to my subordinates' investigation, Xiao Xiucai also went back to Anhe County two years ago, and also went to Yihonglou to look for Xiao Yue. The two of them have secretly communicated behind Xiao Jinren's back for many years."

"Xiao Tai'an, I don't know that what the red catcher said wronged you?" Gu Changwen got up and stepped down from the stage and asked in front of Xiao Tai'an.

Xiao Tai'an's breathing stagnated, and finally he said dryly, "Responding to your lord's words, the red policeman's words... are true."

Doctor Xiao turned his head to look at him, Xiao Tai'an continued to speak with difficulty.

"I have liked Xiaoyue since I was a child, so I know about it, Dad, you also know it, but later on you took Xiaoyue as your outer room, so I took it easy."

"But," Xiao Tai'an took a deep breath, "but she was sold later, she is no longer your concubine, she, she has become a woman who can be as good as you can! Dad, you are going to find her At that time, I held back, but no matter how much I endured, I couldn't forget her, this became my heart disease, I have been a scholar for so many years, I know, this heart disease is tormenting me. "

Dr. Xiao stared at Xiao Tai'an and moved his mouth, but didn't speak.

Xiao Tai'an continued, "If I want to continue to take the entrance exam, I have to get rid of my heart disease, so I used the excuse of studying to come to Anhe County to find her."

Dr. Xiao closed his eyes, "...that's all."

Lan Doumi from Pianya rolled his eyes, "I didn't find him admitted to Juren."

Qian He, who was standing beside him, chuckled, "Don't say that, you're really right."

Hong Qingrui looked at the ashamed Xiao Tai'an, "But according to my subordinates' investigation, Xiao Xiucai was not at home on the day Xiao Yue died. Xiao Xiucai, I don't know where you are and what you are doing?"

Xiao Tai'an was deeply saddened, "That day when my mentor summoned me, I rushed to Heng County, and only after I came back a few days later did I know that Xiaoyue had..."

At the end, Xiao Tai'an burst into tears.

"I didn't even get to see her for the last time."

Hong Qingrui waited until Xiao Tai'an was almost crying, and then said, "Are you sad?"

"Naturally sad, then... After all, he is my sweetheart."

"Do you hate whoever killed her?"

"Of course I hate it," Xiao Tai'an answered.

Doctor Xiao's face was as black as an iron pot.

Xiao Taian came to his senses and looked at Dr. Xiao, "Father, I... didn't mean that."

Dr. Xiao almost gritted his teeth and nodded, "I understand."

Xiao Tai'an looked guilty, "Father..."

Gu Changwen and Hong Qingrui looked at each other, and Hong Qingrui took out a letter and presented it to Gu Changwen.

"My lord, this is the letter that my subordinates found from Xiao Tai'an's place. It is the last letter with Xiao Yuetong."

Xiao Tai'an raised his head abruptly, with surprise on his face.
