Chapter 283 Sloppy
At the dinner table, Gu Rao told Gu Qingcheng again what happened to Wen Mo.

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

"No reason!"

"This is still within the county seat. Some people dare to commit such blatant murders. Is there any king's law in their eyes? How does the county magistrate govern Donghuang County?"

Gu Rao said, "The county magistrate is greedy for money. Since he took over Donghuang County, in just a few months, there have been so many unjust cases."

"Wen Mo has justice in his heart, and he always avenges the wronged. The county magistrate may have bothered him long ago, and he has also offended some people. This time, the man dared to break into the house and commit murder when Wen Mo was not at home. I'm afraid it's a big deal." With the approval of the county magistrate."

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

Gu Qingcheng fell into deep thought.

"Wen Mo is a scholar with backbone, 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."

Gu Rao also knew it was difficult, that's why she was so distressed and entangled.

Although she sympathized with what happened to Wen Mo and Lu Zhi, she was more worried about her husband. If Wen Mo offended the county magistrate because of Wen Mo's injustice, wouldn't it be more difficult for her husband to escape from prison?
I don't know how he is now.

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

Gu Rao asked, "A higher official, the prefect of Ningzhou, can you?"

Donghuang County is under the jurisdiction of Ningzhou, so the prefect should be able to accept this matter. It is not that simple for ordinary people to complain to the prefect, but if there is someone who knows the prefect, they can write a letter Inform about this.

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

"Don't worry, uncle is here for everything."
-
The next day, Gu Rao came to the Yamen early in the morning, Bie Ye's case was also accepted, and when he saw that Bie Ye was intact, his tense heart finally relaxed a little.

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

He quickly sized him up and asked, "How are you? Has anyone bullied you in the cell?"

Don't laugh wildly.

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

Gu Rao said, "Don't laugh if you can't laugh. I have good news for you. I have an uncle who found me. Now I have a backer. The county magistrate dare not do anything to you!"

Doubt flashed across Bieye'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 when I see Gu Wufei, I always have a feeling of intimacy. It turns out that he is my cousin."

The two still wanted to say something.

On the high hall, Xin Guanghui slapped the gavel.

"quiet!"

Gu Rao shook Bie Ye's hand, smiled at him and did not speak again.

Xin Guanghui asked the family members of the victim and the defendant symbolically, and learned about the ins and outs of the incident in detail.

"Bie Ye, did you really hit someone?"

Bie Ye frowned slightly.

"The man rushed forward on his own initiative. Caomin was just defending himself. When he hit him, he didn't use much strength, but he fell to the ground for no reason."

Wu Huichun testified, "My lord, Caomin has studied medicine for many years, and it is impossible to misunderstand. The man was indeed poisoned and died, and it seems that he was poisoned by arsenic."

"Your Excellency, ask Wu Zuo to check it, and then you will know that everything Cao Min said is true."

Xin Guanghui glanced at the gate of the yamen.

Gu Qingcheng was standing outside, closely watching the developments inside.

Xin Guanghui's eyes became meaningful.

"Come on!"

"Bring up the dead and pass it on."

The yamen servant quickly brought the corpse on the stage, and the assistant also rushed over, carrying a lot of professional tools, squatting next to the corpse for inspection.

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

"Reporting to my lord, the deceased died from a severe blow. The younger one has been checked, and there is a large bruise on his chest. The fatal injury should be the chest."

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

Some of the onlookers came here on purpose from Wild Boar Town. Based on Dr. Wu’s reputation in Wild Boar Town, they believed that the man died of poisoning, but now everyone says he was beaten to death. Then, it must be Dr. Wu who lied.

These people are very sad.

"Doctor Wu is an idiot. He has accumulated decades of reputation, but now he has ruined it because he shielded other bosses. I will never trust Doctor Wu again!"

"Yesterday, what they said seemed true. I almost thought I was really poisoned to death."

"Don't be too ruthless, boss!"

……

The people outside were chattering, and Wu Huichun was also confused by Wu Zuo's words, and it took him a while to react, the hand pointing at Wu Zuo was shaking.

"Who were you instructed by?"

"Aren't you afraid of retribution if you open your eyes and say you are blind?"

Wu Zuo looked calm.

"Everything I said is true."

Wu Huichun wondered for a moment if he was wrong, but when he thought of Luo Shi's behavior of not allowing him to check the corpse yesterday, he immediately thought of the connection.

It turned out to be waiting for him here!
Although he could see that the deceased died of poisoning, he had no conclusive evidence because he had not examined the body.

Zuo Zuo continued his actions, opening the lapel of the deceased, revealing a bruise on his chest for everyone to watch.

"Look, this is his fatal wound."

Xin Guanghui's complexion sank, he patted the gavel heavily, pointed to Bie Ye and said, "Now that the evidence is solid, what else can you say?"

This turn of events was unexpected by Gu Rao.

Didn't Gu Qingcheng say that the county magistrate will definitely return her husband's innocence?

How could the county magistrate change his mind temporarily?

Don't look ashamed.

"If you want to commit a crime, why don't you have excuses?"

"After the death of the deceased yesterday, his wife Luo Shi kept blocking us from checking the body. She acted suspiciously. My lord might as well interrogate her carefully, maybe we can get some clues."

"It is very likely that she poisoned the person to death."

Luo Shi has been crying and crying since he was brought up. Hearing Bie Ye's words, he cried even more heartbroken.

"You bastard!"

"My husband is my fate. You killed him, and now you are going to impose the crime of killing him on me!"

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

Xin Guanghui sneered.

"The evidence is right in front of you. The fatal wound is your chest. You still want to argue? Come and suppress the criminal. After the autumn... no, I will be executed in three days!"

"Retire!"

"Wait a minute!"

Gu Qingcheng walked in.

"My lord, even serious criminals have a chance to overturn the case. Usually they are executed after the fall. This case is full of doubts, but you hastily decided to execute in three days. Is it too hasty?"
