Lady Wan Guan

Chapter 69 Fatigue Tactics
Mr. Gong, who was looking at Gu Zhouting with a surreptitious gaze, felt in his heart. Mr. Gong felt guilty and said: "Master Gu, what is the law? The law is to handle cases impartially. No matter whether the person who died is a Dayuan person or a Daqi person, they must be investigated. Clear the case and restore the truth, and bring the murderer to justice."

Gu Zhouting snorted: "Since Mr. Gong has a heart of fairness and justice, why didn't he accept the complaint that the two sons were beaten to death by Dayuan people in the street for no reason in March? He even beat the old man twenty times to drive him away. Why didn't you arrest her when Prince Su He's entourage raped Mrs. Fang in the grocery store in Donglin Lane in April, and she even hanged herself? Why didn't you arrest her in May when Prince Su He occupied Qishizhai? Justice? Do you want me to continue?"

Master Gong was sweating coldly, and knelt down in front of Xiao Wang: "Your Highness, please don't listen to what Mr. Gu and his family say. The circumstances of these cases are complicated. I am..."

"Okay, okay." Xiao Wang didn't want to hear Mr. Gong's excuses.

There are too many boneless officials like Mr. Gong in the court.

One sentence from Prince Su He is more effective than a hundred sentences from Prince Su He.

irritating.

Gu Zhou stopped and said: "The people of Daqi have been suffering from Dayuan for a long time. Who doesn't want to resist? Due to the imperial court's repeated suppression in order to stabilize the situation, the people can only swallow their anger. Now that thirteen Dayuan merchants have been killed, the people can only applaud and applaud. They probably set off firecrackers to celebrate, finally someone did something they wanted to do but didn’t dare to do.”

"Now, don't say that there is no evidence to prove that the Dayuan people were killed. Even if there is, whoever dares to hand this person over will definitely be drowned by everyone's spit, his spine will be broken, and someone may stab someone. Cursing day and night, touching the door in the middle of the night and wiping the neck... Although the official does not care about his reputation, he still cares about his life."

Xiao Wang frowned, Gu Zhouting was by no means an alarmist.

The people of Daqi have been oppressed by the Dayuan people for three years. Once the anger built up in their hearts breaks out, no one can bear it.

Gong Shilang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and did not dare to say any more.

It was horrifying to think that I would be treated like a villain by everyone.

"Mr. Gu's words are reasonable. If the evidence is conclusive, it would be better to say that if you give in without any evidence, it will definitely arouse public outrage. Daqi is now in a state of turmoil, and if people's hearts are in chaos, it will become more and more difficult. But... Prince Su He will not give up. What should we do? Is that good?" Xiao Wang looked at Gu Zhouting, Gu Zhouting should have a countermeasure!

Gu Zhou stopped and said, "Don't worry, I will lead someone to comb through the file carefully to make sure there is no omission. By then, I will have a way to make Prince Su He accept the reality."

They still have to look good. Prince Suhe of the province said that they were perfunctory.

Not only did he have to look good, but he also had to bring Prince Suhe along with him.

Wait for him for two or three days before talking.

"That's very good. My father attaches great importance to this case. It must be verified so that Prince Su He has nothing to say. We must also take into account public opinion and not cause trouble. What do you think, Mr. Gong?" Xiao Wang asked Mr. Gong.

Such an important decision was of course the result of everyone's discussion, not just his decision.

Lord Gong didn't dare to object, he kept saying: "Your Highness is wise..."

In the next few days, Jiang Wanning never left the room, and no one came to disturb her.

Chen Pingzhang used to come to her when he had something to do, but he didn't come back these days.

Maybe he was restrained by Ji Yunchen, or maybe he was embarrassed by what happened that day.

During the second and third rounds of interrogation, no one in her room was called.

The four women were directly excluded.

Jiang Wanning heard from Xiao Pan that Gu Zhouting pulled Prince Su He to stay up for three days and two nights. Prince Su He had dark circles under his eyes and wanted to rest, but Gu Zhouting held Prince Su He and refused to let him go. If he makes any omissions, the Prince has a keen mind and an eye as bright as a torch, so he can point it out.

Jiang Wanning couldn't help laughing every time she thought of this scene.Gu Zhouting was the most sinister. He was using fatigue tactics. When Prince Su He couldn't stand it anymore and wished it would be over as soon as possible, it would be a matter of course for him to close the case.

Prince Suhe has been miserable these past few days.

Of course he wanted to find the murderer, but the problem was that he couldn't find it. If he insisted on finding someone to pay for his life, the little prince would immediately pick up a knife and fight with him.

And since he had got what he wanted, it didn't matter whether he found the murderer or not. As long as His Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Gu gave him a step, he would get off.

As I get older, I really can’t stand it anymore.

So, when another night was about to fall, Gu Zhou stopped making strong tea, and with dark circles under his eyes, he pulled everyone together to prepare for another big night.Prince Su He said: "We have read this file countless times and memorized it very well. All the suspects' confessions are correct. In my opinion, Luo Du and others must have been negligent."

"The people of Dayuan love wine. If you drink too much, you will be killed if you don't say anything."

Prince Su He accepted the fact that Luo Du and others drank too much and forgot to open the windows for ventilation.

Luo Du did like to drink, and he was addicted to alcohol. He had warned him many times.

Gu Zhou stopped hearing this and said, "Let's try it again, what if there is a breakthrough?"

Prince Su He's eyelids twitched: "No, no, no, Mr. Gu has tried his best. The truth should be like this."

He cursed in his heart: You are not trying a case, you are simply trying to kill me.

"That's it... Since the prince thinks so, I will go and ask His Highness the Crown Prince for instructions."

Gu Zhou stopped to look for Xiao Wang.

He came back after a while.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agrees with the Prince's decision, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that although Luo Du and others were not murdered, the post minister and the servants at the post failed to warn them in place, and their negligence must be severely punished. Deng Kun, who lives next door to Luo Du, Hu Quan, Sun Hai and Zhao Liang, who live next door to Abuli, are also responsible. They are official servants and should be more vigilant. As a result, the people next door were so cold that they didn't notice. They must be severely punished. Zheng Guan and others who also gather for gambling are also responsible. Responsibility, maybe Luo Du and others have called for help, because they were gambling all night and were too noisy, which may have led to Luo Du and others' calls for help going unnoticed, leading to tragedy..."

"So, these people will be brought back to Dali Temple, and they will be punished with fifty slabs and a year's salary. Prince Suhe, do you think this is a reasonable decision?"

Prince Suhe couldn't stand it anymore and just wanted to end it quickly. Now that they had moved a ladder, he naturally went down the ladder.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise, just do as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wishes!"

The officials present all scolded Gu Zhouting when they heard Gu Zhouting's story. What did the prince mean?The prince is not so shameless. Listen... it is a crime to sleep next door and not hear anything. What kind of crime is this?The crime of staying in the wrong room?
This servile face is so disgusting.

It must have all been Gu Zhouding's idea.

However, after hearing that Prince Suhe did not pursue the case anymore.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief again.

This excruciating errand was finally over, and thankfully I could leave this hellish place tomorrow.
