Chapter 879 Despair
Mr. Gu was stunned, but the storyteller was so excited that he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Kill the family for justice! Gu Pan accused Gu Shengxiang of killing his wife in court. Once the old couple's relationship broke down, they would fly away when the disaster came!"
The people watching the excitement were extremely excited when they heard this, and soon gossip spread that Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu had a falling out in court.
With a snap, the ancient magistrate patted the tree and said: "Quiet, quiet!"
He was almost bored to death by these storytellers, so he couldn't stop for a while and yelled again. Believe it or not, he dragged them in and beat them with a cane.
But the storytellers are not afraid at all. After all, they are not the only ones making noise, there are also countless people. Can the prefect catch everyone and beat them up?
Mr. Gu was so shocked by the commotion that he came to his senses. He stared at Mrs. Gu and asked in disbelief: "Shuang Niang, we have been married for nearly forty years, and you do this to me?"
Mr. Gu has always felt that Mrs. Gu is very good to him. Mrs. Gu will let him do whatever Fei doesn't let him do. She will also praise him and say that he is capable and can recognize a few words. He is better than those who can't even name his own name. People who don’t recognize them are strong.
He also said that it was all his credit for building a brick house in his family. If he hadn't married Fei, how could Fei, a military girl whose father and brother had died, protect the pension money?
If Fei didn't marry him, when Fei's mother died, Fei wouldn't even be able to protect herself, let alone protect her money, and she would be caught and sold by the gangsters in the village.
When he failed in business, Mrs. Gu would comfort him, saying that he had a good heart and was deceived by bad people. Unlike Fei, who used a little of her father and brother's pension money to accuse him of wasting money, and told him to stop doing business, use the remaining money to buy land, farm honestly, and live a better life.
What a waste of time!
Mrs. Gu said that only incompetent men would dig food in the fields. He, Gu Shengxiang, looked like he was a big business prospect, so how could he farm?
He was called a hero by Mrs. Gu. She thought Mrs. Gu was good at everything, and she admired him very much. But who could have imagined that Mrs. Gu, who admired him so much, would now falsely accuse him of murdering Fei.
Facing Mr. Gu's questioning, Mrs. Gu didn't even give him a look. She just said with difficulty: "He killed my wife...I was wronged!"
Although he only spoke a few words, everyone understood him.
The ancient prefect asked Mr. Gu: "You said that the Blood Thorn Vine was given to you by Gu Pan, but now Gu Pan says that you killed your wife. What evidence do you have to prove that you did not murder Fei?"
Tang Tongpan reminded from the side: "You have previously confessed that the blood thorn vine you gave to Fei was the blood thorn vine instead of the red blood vine. If you can't produce evidence to prove your innocence, according to law, you will be sentenced to murder your wife."
Judge Tang Tong has a very poisonous eye. He has tried cases for several years and he can tell that Mr. Gu did not kill his wife, but was just used. Maybe after Fei's death, Mr. Gu also discovered that something was wrong, but in the end he chose to help Mrs. Gu hide it for many years. I just didn't expect that Mrs. Gu would blame him for killing Fei in front of the court.
Mr. Gu was extremely anxious. He had been a gangster all his life. How had he ever encountered such a major murder case? Now that Mrs. Gu was said to be the murderer of Fei's family, he had no choice but to cry: "Sir, I didn't, I didn't kill Fei's family, those blood thorn vines were given to me by Pan Shuangniang, she, she……"
The ancient magistrate frowned: "What is she?"
Mr. Gu paused for a while, then turned to look at Mrs. Gu again. He moved his mouth and shouted almost pleadingly: "Shuang Niang, Shuang Niang~ We have been husband and wife for decades, why are we making such a fuss?"
Because of the old age of the third grandma and the third grandpa, the ancient magistrate was kind enough not to let them kneel, but to sit and rest on the screen behind the court hall. If they are needed, announce them to the court again.
At this moment, the third grandma couldn't help it anymore, and came out with a sneer: "Gu Laoliu, you bastard, still don't understand how Pan treats you? She has never thought about being married to you. At first, I was just pregnant and worried that I would be soaked in a pig cage, so I was eager to find you as my next home."
After hearing this, Mr. Gu angrily yelled at the third mistress: "Shut up, you are a desperate person who can't give birth to a son. If you dare to sow discord between our husband and wife again, I'll kill you!"
"Bah! Come on, you're nothing if you don't kill me." The third grandma was not afraid of Mr. Gu's threat at all. She talked about the gossip about Mrs. Gu back in the day: "Who doesn't know about the people over there in Yuanjiaji?" Mrs. Pan is not clean. You are not the only man. Before you, someone saw a man coming out of her house before dawn. Yuan Jiaman was not dead at that time, and she was used to stealing from people. "
When Mr. Gu heard this, he was so angry that his eyes were splitting: "Shut up, you bitch..."
"You should shut up. If you dare to spit shit at my old woman again, don't blame me for beating you." The third grandpa came out, pulled the third grandma aside, went back to the screen, moved two chairs out, and sat down Listen in.
This is very against the rules, but the ancient prefect cannot criticize them. After all, they are so old and so many people are watching. If he dares to say a word, within an hour, people all over the city will say that he disrespects the elderly and his official reputation is not good. Guaranteed.
In order to protect Mrs. Gu, Mr. Gu had a conflict with the third grandma, but Mrs. Gu was lying on the door panel, looking at the top of her head, not looking at him at all.
Mr. Gu was desperate.
The ancient prefect took the opportunity to ask: "Speak clearly what you didn't finish before, and don't waste time."
After hearing this, Mr. Gu burst into tears and said, "The blood thorn vine was given to me by Pan Shuangniang. When she gave it to her, she said it was a red blood vine. I had no idea that what she gave me was poison that could kill Fei..."
He wiped away his tears and choked up: "Now that I think about it, it was probably her who wanted to kill Fei... After getting along for decades, I realized that she was very proud and was not willing to be a concubine. But she was very proud. She said she was willing to be my concubine, then she said she was sorry for Fei Shi and asked me to be nice to Fei Shi, so she gave me the Blood Thorn Vine and asked me to take it back to Fei Shi."
Tang Tongpan helped him summarize: "You mean, Mrs. Gu used your hands to poison Fei so that she could marry you and become your official wife?"
Mr. Gu nodded and said with tears in his eyes: "Yes, that's exactly it."
"Bah!" When Mrs. Gu heard this, she was so angry that she sighed. Mr. Gu said again with difficulty: "Jin Zhi can testify!"
When Aunt Gu was suddenly called, she was so frightened that she fell to the ground and looked at Old Mrs. Gu in horror. Didn't her mother say she would protect her? Why did you pull her out? What if she spills the beans?
But Mrs. Gu looked at her and said, "Believe me, mother... tell me!"
These three words are very particular. Aunt Gu understood it and remembered some of the words that Mrs. Gu taught her back then. She knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, I can testify that it was Mr. Gu who wanted to kill Fei. I I heard what he said back then.”
