Chapter 881 The truth cos out
Qian Guangzong was afraid of death. After hearing what the boy who delivered the al told about Mrs. Gu's murder of Fei and her arrest, he imdiately said that he knew Mrs. Gu's secret and wanted to use this secret to exchange for the pardon of his family.
Zhang Sanjin did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly sent a Yan servant back to bring Qian Guangzong's words to the ancient prefect.
Mrs. Gu, who was already confident of winning, stared angrily when she heard this. Her eyes slanted towards Aunt Gu, staring at Aunt Gu ferociously, wanting to ask her if she had told Qian Guangzong about the past?
Aunt Gu was so frightened when she saw Mrs. Gu's appearance that she started to tremble again: "Mom, please don't be angry, my daughter didn't..." She did it on purpose.
"Shut up!" Old Mrs. Gu was very angry. Jin Zhi, a fool, if she told everything, it would be difficult for others not to doubt her.
When the ancient prefect heard what the yan servant said, he imdiately looked at Judge Tang Tong and said, "Master Tang, I have to go out and interrogate Qian Guangzong in person, write down his words, and bring them back to the yan."
Qian Guangzong was suffering from a disease, so it was impossible to bring him to court for trial, so he had to use a compromise thod.
Tang Tongpian raised his hands and said: "Yes, I will obey your orders."
However, Tang Tongpan was a case handler. Seeing that Old Gu's family was a difficult group, he suggested: "Sir, why don't you choose three more common people to follow us, so as not to cause Mrs. Gu and her daughter to bite our house in the future?" The governnt has wronged people."
"Master Tang's words are very true." The ancient magistrate imdiately said: "Because Qian Guangzong cannot go to court, in order to avoid conflicts, I decided to select three common people to go to Lao Gu's house to listen to Qian Guangzong's testimony."
The people who were watching the excitent were very excited when they heard about it, but they retreated again when they thought that Qian Guangzong was sick.
The ancient prefect felt contempt in his heart. When everyone was watching the excitent, they almost broke through the gate of the governnt office. Now you are asked to hear the gossip first-hand with your own ears, and you are afraid again. It is really cowardly.
"You don't need to be afraid. You are just listening to Qian Guangzong's words through the door. You will not be infected with the disease." Gu Zhifu said.
After hearing this, the people watching the excitent were still afraid. It was not until Dr. Xiao said that there would be no infection without contact, that they beca enthusiastic again and signed up one after another.
The ancient prefect finally chose Dr. Xiao, Dou Laotongsheng who ran a private school, and Ma Dali from the blacksmith shop to go there.
These three people are recognized as upright and upright people in the city. Let them go with Tang Tongpian, and they can convince the public very well.
After the candidates were selected, Tang Tongpan took them, as well as a team of governnt servants, two scribes, and a master to the old Gu family's house.
When Aunt Gu saw that Tang Tongpan had brought soone to question her, her face changed in anxiety and she chased her out instinctively. However, she was stopped by the yan servant in ti and could only shout: "Sir, co back. What Qian Guangzong said is a lie. not real!"
Its a pity that no matter how Aunt Gu shouted, Tang Tongpan and the others did not look back.
After Tang Tongjian and the others left, the court fell into silence. Only the sound of stomach growling could be heard from ti to ti. Everyone was hungry and waiting for the conclusion of the case.
Old Mrs. Gu was extrely anxious, her eyes were rolling, thinking of ways to get out of the cri... After a while, she looked at Aunt Gu and signaled her with her eyes that she would bite Qian Guangzong to death if he lied.
As long as Qian Guangzong is lying and Mr. Gu is the murderer of Fei, they can be freed and continue to enjoy life with Mr. Li.
Aunt Gu has a good relationship with Old Mrs. Gu and can understand her eyes. After a mont of panic, she nodded to Old Mrs. Gu to express that she understood.
And every move they made fell in Gu Jinan's eyes.
Half an hour later, Tang Tongpan and the others ca back and handed Qian Guangzong's confession to the ancient prefect.
After reading it, the ancient magistrate asked the scribe to read it in public.
Qian Guangzong really knew about Mrs. Gu's murder of Fei, and he would know that it was Aunt Gu who said it. When she was escaping from famine, Aunt Gu suffered a lot. She felt that this was retribution for the bad things she had done, so she discussed with Qian Guangzong, bowed to the east, and the couple shared the bad things they had done together. It was like admitting their mistake to God and begging God to let them go and let them survive.
Qian Guangzong's confession said: "Yuan Jinzhi said that Mr. Gu was pregnant at that ti but did not want to be a concubine. In order to marry Mr. Gu as his wife, he gave Mr. Gu a prickly dicinal material and asked him to Take it back and boil it for Fei to drink. Within two months, Fei died."
After Qian Guangzong's confession was read, there was an uproar inside and outside the courtroom, with people pointing at Mrs. Gu and scolding her.
Aunt Gu quickly cried out: "Fake, Qian Guangzong lied. He has the disease and wants to die with him!"
As long as she insists that Qian Guangzong is lying, the governnt will have nothing to do with her.
It's a pity that she forgot that the governnt can also torture suspects.
This case was raging from early morning to afternoon. The ancient prefect's patience had been exhausted. He threw away the signature and said: "Qian Gu is so bold that she gave false testimony in court to protect Gu Pan. She was beaten by this governnt. I beat her." Until you tell the truth!"
"Yes." The governnt officials had been standing for a long ti. They had long wanted to stretch their muscles and bones, so they picked up Aunt Gu, pushed her down on the bench, and started beating her.
Bang, bang, bang!
After only three blows, Aunt Gu scread and cried: "Sir, please spare my life, please spare your life, this woman is really... ah!"
Bang, bang, bang, three more tis, the skin and flesh were bleeding, and even the bones were cracked. The pain was so painful that Aunt Gu almost died.
Seeing that the ti had co, Gu Jinan looked at Aunt Gu and said: "Yuan Jinzhi, you will be beheaded for perjury. You are only in your early forties, and you have a grandson to rely on. You live with Li's family and you have saved a lot of money. You are rich. Isn't it good for soone to live and eat well? Why should you risk your life for Gu Pan's sake? "
In one sentence, Mrs. Gu was made to look ferocious, and Aunt Gu was moved to the point of being moved.
Yes, she is only in her early forties and has at least ten years to live, and my mother is already so old, a paralytic, and will die at any ti. It is really not worthwhile for her to risk her life to help her.
The ancient magistrate noticed that Aunt Gu was acting strangely and imdiately signaled to the governnt officials to beat her severely.
Bang, bang, bang!
The officer's stick hit Aunt Gu without rcy. Aunt Gu couldn't stand the beating anymore. Regardless of Old Lady Gu's calls, she cried at the top of her lungs: "My mother gave the blood thorn vine. My mother wanted to kill her." Fei...ah!"
When Mrs. Gu heard this, she spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
The ancient prefect hurriedly said: "Doctor Xiao, hurry up and save people, we can't let Mrs. Gu Pan die."
He also asked the governnt officials to stop the execution and said to Aunt Gu: "Tell everything you know."
Aunt Gu almost fainted from the pain. She cried and told what she knew. It was similar to what Qian Guangzong said, but with one more sentence: "My mother taught that if things are exposed, let tell everything." Put it on Mr. Gu. Because I am young, the governnt will not doubt what I say, and Mr. Gu is not my biological father, so I dont have to feel guilty even if he dies."
Mr. Gu was stunned when he heard this. Did Pan Shuangniang say this to him behind his back? Isn't he her hero, her God?
Mr. Gu was stunned for a mont, and then he cried and laughed: "Pan Shuangniang, I treat you with all my heart, but you were thinking of how to harm forty years ago... I'm not done with you!"
Speaking, he stood up and rushed towards the unconscious Mrs. Gu. After knocking Dr. Xiao away, he bit down on Mrs. Gu's neck, intending to kill her.
Doctor Xiao was startled and hurriedly inserted a needle into the back of Mr. Gu's neck. Mr. Gu imdiately lost strength and fell limply to the ground.
