Chapter 881 The Truth Comes Out

Qian Guangzong was afraid of death. After hearing what the boy who delivered the meal told about the incident of Mrs. Gu being arrested for murdering Fei, he immediately said that he knew Mrs. Gu's secret and wanted to use this secret in exchange for his pardon so that his family would not be imprisoned.

Zhang Sanjin did not dare to neglect, and quickly sent a government servant back to bring Qian Guangzong's words to the ancient prefect.

Mrs. Gu, who was originally 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!" 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 magistrate heard what the yamen officer said, he immediately looked at Tang Tongpan and said, "Master Tang, it's time for you to go and interrogate Qian Guangzong in person, write down his words and bring them back to the yamen office."

Qian Guangzong was suffering from the disease and it was impossible to bring him to court for interrogation. He could only use a compromise method.

Tang Tongpan cupped 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 government has wronged people."

"Master Tang, what you said is very true." The ancient prefect immediately said: "Because Qian Guangzong cannot go to court, in order to avoid conflicts, we 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 excitement were very excited when they heard about it, but they backed down again when they thought that Qian Guangzong was sick.

The ancient prefect felt contempt in his heart. When everyone was watching the excitement, they almost broke through the gate of the government 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 Hualiu disease." Gu Zhifu said.

After hearing the excitement, the people who watched the excitement were still afraid. It was not until Dr. Xiao said that there would be no infection if there was no contact, that they became enthusiastic again and signed up one after another.

The ancient prefect finally chose Doctor 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 righteous people in the city. Let them go with Tang Tongpan, which will convince the public very much.

After the candidates were selected, Tang Tongpan took them, as well as a team of government servants, two clerks, and a master to the old Gu family's house.

When Aunt Gu saw that Tang Tongpan had brought someone to question her, her face changed in anxiety and she chased her out instinctively. However, she was stopped by the yamen servant in time and could only shout: "Sir, come back. What Qian Guangzong said is a lie. not real!"

Unfortunately, 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 time to time. Everyone was hungry and waiting for the conclusion of the case.

Mrs. Gu was extremely anxious, her eyes were rolling, thinking of ways to get out of crime... 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 they find out that Qian Guangzong is lying and that Mr. Gu is the murderer of Fei's family, the mother and daughter can get away with it and continue to enjoy life with Mr. Li.

Aunt Gu had a good relationship with Mrs. Gu and could understand her eyes. After a moment of panic, she nodded to 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 came back and handed Qian Guangzong's confession to the ancient prefect.

After the ancient magistrate read it, he 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 time but did not want to be a concubine. In order to marry Mr. Gu as his wife, he gave Mr. Gu a prickly medicinal material and asked him to Take it back and boil it for Fei to drink. Within two months, Fei died."

After Qian Guangzong finished reading his confession, there was an uproar inside and outside the courtroom, pointing at Mrs. Gu and scolding her.

Aunt Gu quickly cried out: "Fake, Qian Guangzong lied. He has Hualiu disease and wants me to die with him!"

As long as she insists that Qian Guangzong is lying, the government will have nothing to do with her.

It's a pity that she forgot that the government can also torture suspects.

This case was raging from early morning to afternoon. The ancient prefect's patience had been exhausted, so he threw away the signature and said: "Qian Gu is so bold that she gave false testimony in court to protect Gu Pan, and beat her. Until you tell the truth!"

"Yes." The government officials had been standing for a long time. 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 screamed and cried, "Sir, please spare my life, please spare your life, this civilian woman is really... ah!"

Bang bang bang, three more blows, the flesh was bleeding, and even the bones were cracked. The pain was so painful that Aunt Gu almost died.

Seeing that the time had come, 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 someone 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 was only in her early forties and had at least ten more years to live, and her mother was already so old, a paralytic, and could die at any time. It was really not worthwhile for her to risk her life to help her.

The ancient magistrate noticed that Aunt Gu was acting strangely and immediately signaled to the government officials to beat her severely.

Bang bang bang!

The officer's stick hit Aunt Gu without mercy. 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 me 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 government officials to stop the execution and said to Aunt Gu: "Tell me 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 me that if things are exposed, let me tell everything." Put it on Mr. Gu. Because I am young, the government will not doubt what I say, and Mr. Gu is not my biological father, so I don’t 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 moment, and then he cried and laughed: "Pan Shuangniang, I treat you with all my heart, but you were thinking of how to harm me forty years ago... I'm not done with you!"

After saying that, 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.

Dr. Xiao was shocked and hurriedly inserted a needle into the back of Mr. Gu's neck. Mr. Gu immediately lost strength and fell to the ground.
