Chapter 884 Reconciliation for Fei
The ancient prefect was afraid of further twists and turns in the case, so he immediately said: "Gu Pan, please quickly explain how you murdered Fei!"
Mrs. Gu didn't want to say a word, but Mr. Li was still looking at her, with pleading in his eyes, wanting her to explain quickly so that the case could be closed. He couldn't be embarrassed anymore.
The nobleman wanted someone who could help him occupy Jiangnan, not a drag.
Mrs. Gu died on Mr. Li's old tree in her life. When she saw Mr. Li's appearance, she explained word by word how she murdered Fei.
After Yuan Jiaman's death, the Yuan family was very dissatisfied with her. There was a rumor that Yuan Jiaman was responsible for her death and wanted to immerse her in a pig cage.
In order not to be killed secretly by the Yuan family, Mrs. Gu began to hook up with men. Seeing that Mr. Gu had no parents at home, and her first wife's father and brother from the Fei family were also dead, she was a resource, so she hooked up with Mr. Gu.
Every encounter with villains and heroes rescuing beauties are all designed by Mrs. Gu.
After hooking up with Mr. Gu, she became friends with him within three days, and used this as an excuse to ask Mr. Gu to marry her. Mr. Gu agreed wholeheartedly, but he was only willing to marry her as his concubine.
At that time, Mr. Gu was only in his early twenties, and he was a proud man. He felt that it would not look good if he returned home with an equal wife while enjoying the dowry brought by his wife.
But Mrs. Gu was so anxious that she couldn't wait. While trying to instigate the relationship between Mr. Gu and Fei Shi, she found the bloodthorn vine and gave it to Mr. Gu, asking him to take it back to Fei Shi to eat and kill Fei Shi.
As for how you got the bloodthorn vine?
Mrs. Gu is very smart. She recognized the blood thorn vine and went to the mountains to find it herself instead of going to the drug store to buy it. If she went to a drug store to buy it, the yamen would investigate and she would definitely be exposed.
In the end, she succeeded in poisoning Fei to death with the help of Mr. Gu.
One month after Fei's death, she moved into Lao Gu's house, which was built with Fei's dowry money.
She knew that everyone didn't like her step-brother and ostracized her everywhere. In order to let her children live a good life, she also spared no effort to sow the relationship between Mr. Gu and Gu Dashan, and made Mr. Gu think that Gu Dashan was not her relative. Son.
Due to paralysis, Mrs. Gu could only speak word by word. These words lasted for a full hour, making the people watching the excitement put their chests on their backs and almost fainted from hunger. But they gossiped and were unwilling to leave, even if they were hungry.
Mrs. Chen was smart. When she saw this, she took Gu Dagui and drove a mule cart to a snack shop to buy three baskets of sesame cakes and brought them to the yamen gate to sell them.
As soon as the aroma of the sesame cakes came out, the people watching the excitement almost tortured themselves to death, so they hurried to buy them: "Here are three sesame cakes."
I'm so hungry. I won't be full if I don't buy three.
Mrs. Chen looked at the thirty copper coins handed over by the guest, raised her eyebrows, twitched the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile: "The price has increased, fifteen cents each, Chenghui forty-five cents."
The guest was shocked: "Fifteen cents a piece? Are you robbing money? The Kan family's coarse-grain sesame cakes have always been ten cents a piece. You want fifteen cents?"
Mrs. Chen: "Then you go to Kan's shop to buy. If you don't want to go, if you don't want to go, then just spend an extra five cents. It's such a bargain. What else do you dislike as a customer? Hurry up and pay. There's a big crowd behind you. Waiting."
The guest had no choice but to take fifteen more cents and give forty-five cents to Chen.
Mrs. Chen happily took the money, while Gu Dagui brought the sesame cakes to the guests. He didn't even dare to raise his head. It was so embarrassing. This woman had saved a lot of private money and still thought she was a poor person. She would pick up half a copper coin when she saw it.
They came to Fucheng for something to do, and she actually went to make money by reselling sesame cakes!
Another customer handed over copper coins: "Boss, here are two. Hurry, I'm starving to death."
Chen received the money with a smile and asked Gu Dagui to get the sesame cakes. After less than three-quarters of an hour of work, all the sesame cakes were sold out, and there were still customers who didn't buy any, so she gave Chen the money to buy food.
It took Chen and Gu Dagui three trips to feed all the people watching the excitement.
The ancient prefect's stomach ached with hunger when he smelled the aroma that came in. He stared at the government office with a fierce look in his eyes. If he knew that it was that bastard who was selling sesame cakes at the government office when he was hungry, he would definitely not be able to spare him. .
Before Gu Zhifu was about to faint from hunger, Mrs. Gu finally said the last word.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, damn, it was finally over.
The ancient magistrate immediately looked at the scribe and asked, "Has it been written? Take it over and give it to Mrs. Gu and Yuan Jinzhi to sign."
Aunt Gu was confused and cried: "Sir, the woman did no harm to anyone and is not guilty. You can't make me plead guilty!"
The ancient prefect said: "You have committed two crimes. The first crime is helping Gu Pan conceal the fact of the murder, and the second crime is giving false testimony. Both are serious crimes and can be sentenced to death."
The owl's head!
Mrs. Gu became anxious and shouted at Mr. Li.
Master Li knew that if he did not save Jin Zhi, Pan Shuangniang would not comply with his wishes. For his own sake, he could make up for Jin Zhi. He asked Master Yue to go to the ancient prefect and say: "Master prefect, although Yuan Jinzhi is guilty, his crime will not lead to death. According to the criminal law of Dachu, money can be used to expiate crimes, Mr. Li is willing to pay this money, do you think?"
After hearing this, the ancient magistrate nodded in agreement, but said, "It will cost a lot of money."
Master Yue said: "Don't worry, Mr. Li is willing to pay any amount of money in order to repay the kindness of Pan family's old benefactor."
The ancient prefect then said to Aunt Gu: "Because you were instigated by Mrs. Gu when you were young, I will sentence you to exile, and you can pay for it with ten thousand taels of silver."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Li nodded towards Mrs. Gu and said that he would pay for Mrs. Gu's guilt.
Mrs. Gu was finally relieved.
Gu Jinan has no objection to this. This is the criminal law of Dachu, and Aunt Gu has Qian Guangzong and Qian Chengcai to torture her, so she can no longer afford to make trouble. If she dares to seek death again, Xiaoyu will have a way to deal with her.
The two scribes took the two confessions to Mrs. Gu and Aunt Gu to stamp them, and after pressing their fingerprints, handed the confessions to the ancient magistrate.
After seeing it, the ancient prefect pronounced the verdict: "Gu Pan had a vicious mind. In order to marry Gu Shengxiang and become his wife, she murdered Gu Shengxiang's first wife, causing Fei's death. According to the laws of Da Chu, she will be sentenced to have her head shown to the public and be executed at the end of the month!"
"Qian Gu, whose real name was Yuan Jinzhi, concealed the fact of the murder and gave false evidence for Gu Pan. She was sentenced to exile. She can pay ten thousand taels of silver to expiate her crime."
"Gu Shengxiang is stupid and ignorant. He allowed Gu Pan to murder his wife and gave the poison to his wife. He is suspected of being an accessory and sentenced to five years in prison. He can use five thousand taels of silver to expiate his crime."
Five thousand taels!
Mr. Gu was so frightened that he almost fainted again. He couldn't go to jail. He couldn't go to jail. The food in the jail was all swill. How could he suffer like this?
He knew that Gu Dashan was rich and soft-hearted, so he immediately looked at Gu Dashan and begged: "Da Shan, dad's biological son, dad knows that he was wrong. It was Gu Pan who was the instigator of dad. It was she who harmed our family. She has now received retribution, and it’s time for us, father and son, to reconcile... You have to pay to save dad, he can’t go to jail!"
After hearing this, Gu Dashan gave a cold voice and ignored Mr. Gu. Instead, he said to the ancient magistrate: "Master Magistrate, I want to divorce Gu Shengxiang on behalf of my mother Fei Shi. I hope you will allow me."
What?
Reconciliation for Fei!
The people watching the excitement were shocked and asked, "Are you going to make peace with Mr. Gu on behalf of your mother?"
