The most ferocious sword of the Imperial City Division

"I then thought about the fact that the bird's nest given to Zuo Tang was not boiled in the big kitchen. Instead, it was boiled by Gu Yucheng's wet nurse, Mama Rong, who was beside the old lady, and I became even more frightened."

Meng said, his face full of self-deprecation.

"I dare not say anything. Firstly, the medicine he used to poison Zuo Tang was a prescription I brought from my parents' family. Secondly, my son Gu Jun'an was going to take the imperial examination at that time. He cannot have a father who is a murderer."

"Thirdly... I also thought that if I pretended not to know, it would be no harm to me if Gu Younian marries Mrs. Cao and comes in."

"So, I lied before. I didn't instruct Gu Yucheng to get the bird's nest bowl that might have been found to be poisonous. He poured the poison himself, and he went to deal with the aftermath for himself."

Wang Yihe, who was sitting in the hall, heard this and slapped the gavel.

"Besides you, is there anyone else who can prove that Gu Yucheng poisoned and killed someone?"

Meng nodded, "Rong's mother knows that if she can tell the truth. But no one else is needed. If I don't lie and cover for Gu Yucheng, and don't take the blame for Gu Yucheng, he will be nailed to death by Chun Xing." people?"

"However, Rong's mother is not telling the truth. I have other evidence. On top of my poison recipe, there are finger prints of Gu Yucheng's right hand. The bottom of the compartment of my dressing box is padded with lipstick paper. .”

"If you want to get a prescription, you need to remove the lipstick paper first, then open the lid and take out the poison prescription from the sandwich. In this way, the hand that has taken the lipstick paper and then picks up the prescription will leave traces on it. There are faint red finger prints underneath."

"I set this up deliberately to prevent thieves, because it contains not only the poison prescription, but also the Jiaozi I kept at the bottom of the box. Your Excellency, you can have someone take it and compare it with Gu Yucheng's fingerprints."

Meng said, ignoring Gu Yucheng who was barking at the side, and continued, "Furthermore, I have been with Gu Yucheng for many years, and I know that when he wants to catch the shady medicine, he will go to Anhe Hall to find an apprentice named Yu. .”

"That guy surnamed Yu is so jealous of money that he doesn't care about any medicine he takes. I don't know whether he remembers what happened eight years ago."

"But Gu Yucheng poisoned Chun Xing recently, so obviously he should remember it."

Wang Yihe listened and glanced at Wu Jiang. Wu Jiang nodded and led the government servants out to Anhe Hall in a hurry.

After Meng finished speaking, the hall was quiet for a while. Now that Gu Yucheng had lost Wu Jiang's control, he was unable to make a fuss.

He stared at Meng angrily, his eyes full of gloom, "Stupid woman, stupid woman! You have tricked Gu Shiwei! You made me a murderer, who will protect Jun'an in the future? ?”

But Meng sneered, turned her head, raised her hand and slapped Gu Yucheng hard on the face.

This slap was so powerful that it knocked Gu Yucheng to the ground, bleeding from his mouth. He opened his mouth and sighed twice, and actually lost a tooth.

Gu Shiwei looked at it and then remembered that the Meng in front of him was a strong man who beat people with a shovel!

Meng slapped her down, and she looked at Gu Yucheng coldly, "Have you forgotten the 49 Gu family rules that I was asked to recite day and night? I am the wife of the Gu family, and I must follow the family rules and be a person who does not lie."

"Bang!" Wang Fuyin's scream echoed throughout the hall again.

Gu Yucheng was startled and ignored Meng's family and looked at Gu Jun'an in a panic.

As soon as Gu Junan caught his gaze, he immediately looked away...

Gu Yucheng felt a chill in his heart. He looked towards the door hopefully, but the front of the Kaifeng Mansion Yamen was still empty, there was no one...

His father Gu Yanyan didn't come, not only Gu Yanyan, but also the rest of the Gu family!

Gu Yucheng was completely panicked now. His knees softened and he knelt down with a plop...

"The night sky in Bianjing City sometimes feels so close that I feel like I can pick the stars from the sky just by raising my hand while standing on the ground. Sometimes it feels so far away that if I stare at it for a long time, I will be completely absorbed. It’s the same as going in.”

Gu Shiwei and Han Shiyan walked side by side on the way to Sangzi Lane from Kaifeng Mansion Office.

The city that never sleeps is now crowded with tourists, with novel styles of lanterns and beauties wearing various silks and satins passing by from time to time.

Gu Shinwei raised his head, stretched out his hand and scratched the sky, and sighed with some sadness.

Han Shiyan listened quietly on the side, and he asked curiously, "The case hasn't been completed yet, why don't you continue listening? Isn't it good to continue to look after the family and let the dog bite the dog?"

Gu Shiwei laughed easily, "Only weaklings have been obsessed with past victories. A warrior like me will of course rush to the next battlefield handsomely. The job of mopping up the pieces is left to the king who keeps knocking the wooden fish." Be a monk."

Han Shiyan was startled. He didn't understand. "Monk Wang who keeps knocking on wooden fish?"

Gu Shiwei blinked at Han Shiyan, "Didn't you notice? Mr. Wang's only purpose in trying a case is to slap the gavel."

Seeing her joy, Han Shiyan also raised the corners of his lips, "Master Wang would never have thought that he would have such a nickname."

However, without Meng taking the blame, and with her and Mrs. Cao jointly identifying the crime, it would be almost impossible for Gu Yucheng to stand up again this time.

Gu Shiwei faced off against the tigers, leopards and financial wolves of the Gu family and successfully got the first drop of blood.

He thought, his eyes moved, and he couldn't help but speculate, "Gu Yan has never come. Did you do something?"

It's not that far from the Gu family to Kaifeng Mansion. Wu Jiang kidnapped Gu Yucheng from the Gu family. It makes no sense that Gu Yanyan hasn't caught up with him for so long.

Gu Shiwei smiled slyly when he heard this, "We suffered a big loss from the old thief when we went to court for the first time. Every time we learn something, we gain wisdom. As long as the old fox doesn't come, Gu Yucheng will go out without thinking. Then It’s not like you’re being slaughtered by others!”

She did not explain what she had done, but changed the subject and said, "What Meng said earlier about reciting family rules day and night is funny."

"So you also recite it day and night?"

Gu Shiwei nodded heavily, "Of course, let alone me, it's just a mouse borrowed from the Gu family. Old thief Gu would catch it, let it eat the vegetarian meal bitterly, and then strangle it. The neck is used to carry the family rules."

"If you memorize any of them wrongly, you will have to kneel in the ancestral hall."

Gu Shiwei said, feeling nostalgic about his childhood, "I was a swordsman at that time. I have a photographic memory of martial arts secrets and sword moves, but I really can't remember those bullshit family rules, and I don't want to."

"In order to accompany me, my father and mother memorized the wrong words on purpose, and then our whole family of three would be punished to stay in the ancestral hall."

Gu Shiwei said, making a sword-drawing motion with his hand, "Now there are dense holes in the pillar on the east side of the Gu family ancestral hall! I couldn't bring a sword in, so I broke off the bottle and put some arty ones in it. Bamboo, plum branches, and chrysanthemum sticks were used as swords, and many holes were poked out!"

"They discovered it later, and the bottle turned into an orchid, but I can also use the orchid leaves as a sword..."

Gu Shinwei said with a sigh, "Thinking about it now, it's obvious that the Gu family didn't like us before. But at that time, my father and mother protected me so well that even punishment turned into a happy thing... again Never thought that they were all wolves in sheep's clothing."
