He originally thought that Yuan Huo was dead and there was no evidence of his death, so he made up a random reason to fool him.

But Gu Shiwei's words reminded him.

The King of Qi has a hesitant character. It will be good to do what was decided in March last year by March next year.

What could make him hang himself and write a confession immediately after hearing what Yuan Huo said? Of course, he only shows off when he sees a rabbit.

Could Yuan Huo have given him the elixir of death, or had he given it to Princess Yunzhu? If that's the case...then the excuse he thought of earlier won't work. He couldn't say that he never gave Yuan Huo the medicine. He didn't know where Yuan Huo heard about the elixir...

Otherwise... you will be like Jiang Erlang and get slapped in the face immediately!

Tao Ran's mouth opened wide. For the first time, he envied the civil servants. He wished he had a head that could turn into a windmill.

But he didn't.

"Master Tao, is this question difficult to answer? Why don't you ask the housekeeper to answer it for you? I heard that the housekeeper in your house comes from a wealthy family. Once the affairs of the house are handed over to him, there is nothing he doesn't know about."

Tao Ran felt a hole in his heart.

Gu Shiwei, it seems that he didn't understand the hint the first time, but the second time he "kindly" showed his name and pointed out the identity of the butler. He really is a "good guy"!
The housekeeper in his house is the housekeeper in the house of Deputy Capital Inspector Wang Shen.

He came from a humble background, his parents were both mud-legged, and his family behaved very inappropriately. That's why after becoming a capital official, he took in many old servants released from other palaces. How could he not know that there would be risks in such a mixture of good and bad?

But who among those who have no roots and no family background has not gone through this?

If he were to do ordinary things, he would definitely believe that Butler Wang would not betray his master, but what was Gu Shiwei doing today? He is overturning the case for the old servant's old master, Wang Shen!

Tao Ran thought, his heart sank, he knelt down with a plop and bowed to the person behind the screen.

"Guan... Yuan Huo's elixir is indeed... indeed..."

Tao Ran couldn't say anything anymore. His body was trembling, and he heard the "good Samaritan" next to him, Gu Shiwei, squatting down in front of him, leaning closer and saying, "What is it for sure? Master Tao, can't you explain clearly?" "

Tao Ran glanced at Gu Shiwei with scarlet eyes, his hand holding the knife was shaking.

He was thinking that if he drew the knife immediately...but he just thought about it and gave up.

His brain is not as good as Gu Shiwei's, he can't win against her in a quarrel, and his murderous skills are not as good as hers...

Simply...

Tao Ran thought, and raised his hand to slap his forehead, but as soon as he raised his hand in the air, he was caught by Gu Shiwei.

Not even death.

Tao Ran sighed dejectedly, "Yuan Huo's medicine was indeed obtained from me. I change the prescription once and only practice two medicines, one for myself to take and one for my records. But The most recent one has been practiced three times.”

"I took one, kept another in the medicine box at home, and gave the other to Yuan Huo."

Gu Shiwei clicked his tongue twice and glanced at Taishi Jiang proudly.

Grand Master Jiang was unmoved at all, as if he didn't know Tao Ran at all.

Why? Isn't he worried that Tao Ran will confess him?

Gu Shiwei thought and took the opportunity to continue asking, "Why did you give the medicine to Yuan Huo? You and Yuan Huo are both deputy chief inspectors in front of the palace. Only one person can remove that subtitle. Are you not afraid that he will use that subtitle? Take the fake death medicine and submit it to the officials."

"I still clearly remember, Mr. Tao, you said you wanted to donate medicine to the official family in exchange for a future."

Tao Ran swallowed back the words "Yuan Huo and I are close friends", and the "good Samaritan" once again predicted him. The two of them had no contact with each other on weekdays to avoid suspicion, and they were still fighting for the same position... He would casually hand over his ancestral elixir to Yuan Huo.

"I……"

Tao Ran didn't know how to answer, so he simply said, "Yuan Huo did make a deal with the King of Qi for someone. I owe that man a huge favor, so Yuan Huo asked me for the fake death pill. I had no way to shirk it, so I gave it to him. ”

"That's what Tao said. Mr. Gu doesn't need to worry about me anymore. Although I grew up in the countryside, I also know what it means to be kind enough to exceed the heavens."

Gu Shiwei raised his eyebrows, "Is it bigger than the sky? Is it bigger than the official family?"

Kill people and kill your heart.

Tao Ran's mind flashed, and he looked at the person behind the screen in horror. He lay deeply on the ground and refused to raise his head again.

It turns out that the reason Taishi Jiang didn't panic was because he knew Tao Ran would never betray him.

This is why Yuan Huo wants to die but Tao Ran does not.

"Master Gu has been aggressive all night. I am not very energetic and I really can't stand listening to the young people singing and beating me."

"If you have any evidence that I took money and food from the treasury, or instigated Li Changxing to assassinate officials... just take it all out at once. I don't know how Mr. Gu can prove that it is me." What about everything?”

"In the past two years, there was a narcissus trend in Beijing. There are many people in Bianjing who use these flower beads to decorate jade pendants. As far as I know, I have never lost jade beads."

"Then there is the account book in the hands of the Hong family in Canglang Mountain. Let's assume that the broken pages are authentic. Then I would like to ask where is the complete account book?"

"If I really made a damn mistake, I would definitely not shirk the blame."

Grandmaster Jiang said, his face was filled with the pain of being humiliated for no reason, and he looked shaky as if he was about to break.

For a moment, Gu Shiwei felt that she, Han Shiyan, and Wu Jiang were like traitors who were here to bully the virtuous officials of the court.

Laozhuangzi tea is truly extraordinary.

She said that Taishi Jiang had only accepted moves before, but now it was time to take action.

Unexpectedly, this old thief had been observing them silently, and accurately discovered that she and Han Shiyan were paper tigers. In the same account book as Yuzhu, they really lacked confidence.

Gu Shiwei felt slightly weak in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.

"Master Jiang, don't be anxious. Haven't we caught Jiang Erlang and Deputy Tao doing inspection now? It will be your turn soon."

As Gu Shinwei said, he cupped his hands towards Wang Yihe, "Sir, I request that more witnesses be summoned..."

Before Gu Shiwei finished speaking, a familiar voice came from the door.

"I, I am a witness."

Gu Shinwei's pupils shrank suddenly and he looked towards the door in disbelief.

I saw the people watching in front of the hall squeezed out a way, and a pale-faced woman moved towards the hall with difficulty.

She looked extraordinarily thin among the bulky idlers, as if she would be crushed at any moment, but despite this, her eyes were extraordinarily firm.

"Are you crazy? Li Mingfang!" (End of this chapter)
