Mo Lan took a deep breath: "Master Liu, why should you be angry! How do you know that what she told is not the truth!"
Liu Xuezhou bowed and saluted, "This woman has gone crazy, so her words cannot be trusted!"
Mrs. Gan was still laughing, but she had no choice but to have her mouth blocked.
"Bold Liu Xuezhou, Lou Zonghan, and Wang Hongju, do you three know what a crime it is to slander an imperial official! The three of you conspired to use Lou Zhuoying to fake his death to frame Gan Rui for murder. It is really wanton!"
The three of them knelt down and said, "I am guilty!"
After this operation, both Gan Ruizhi and Gan Li were a little confused.
Mo Lan sat on the Grand Master's chair and stared at Gan Ruizhi motionlessly: "Gan Ruizhi, I would like to advise you that it is best to explain everything that happened the day before yesterday. You did not kill anyone, so why would your mother want to take the blame for you?!"
"Lord Qi, after I left that night, I went back to my new house for fear of being blamed by the governor. But when I went back, the man was already dead in the yard. The next day, I concluded that this was a scam and someone was deliberately trying to Try to kill me!" The more Gan Ruizhi said, the clearer his mind became.
Looking at the old mother kneeling aside, she felt a little sad and angry: "My mother didn't know, she just thought that I really killed someone. She loved her son so much that she wanted to save my life. Please consider her old age." For my sake, forgive her sins!”
This is to climb up after grabbing a life-saving straw. What you say is full of loopholes.
"Go and bring Lou Zhuoying up! Do the three adults have anything to argue with?"
The three old foxes said nothing until Lou Zhuoying was brought up. The people at the door were excited. Miss Lou was not dead, so these three really framed Lord Gan?
"Can you three plead guilty?" Good guys, you also have a taste for it.
"I plead guilty!"
"Since you plead guilty, go back and sit down, and I will punish you later. Today's case has not been completed yet!" After saying that, he picked up the token and threw it on Gan Ruizhi's head.
"What do you mean, sir!" Gan Ruizhi was about to get up, but he still couldn't. His legs felt like they were stuck to the ground.
Mo Lan waved his hand and Gan Zhilin was brought up.
"Dad! What are you going to do to my dad!"
Mrs. Gan Li looked at Gan Zhilin, but the latter did not dare to look at her.
"Gan Ruizhi, I'll give you another chance. How did the first five ladies in your house die?" Mo Lan was trembling when she asked this question. She wished that what she saw in the secret room was not true.
Gan Ruizhi turned his head without looking at her: "I don't know what you are talking about."
Seeing him pretending to be stupid, Mo Lan laughed angrily.
"Call the plaintiff to court!"
After a while, Cuitao, who had disappeared for several days, knelt in the courtroom.
She kowtowed respectfully: "Sir, the famous girl is called Cuitao, and she is the personal maid of Shang Yunyan, the third wife of the Gan family. Today I am suing the head of the family, Gan Ruizhi, for murdering his wife."
Gan Ruizhi clenched his fists and looked at her fiercely: "You are making a false accusation. Do you know that falsely accusing the master will result in the punishment of breaking a car into pieces."
Cuitao trembled a little when she heard about the car-breaking punishment, but her eyes remained firm.
"My wife, who has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, is in good health. However, after competing with others in the boxing gym, she fell ill that night and passed away within a few days."
Mrs. Gan looked at her with red eyes. Seeing that her expression was normal, Mo Lan waved her hand and took out the cloth from her mouth.
"So you said without any basis that it was my son who killed your young lady? It's a good thing that I saw how pitiful you were so you came to serve me, huh! You bitch!"
"Stop, did I let you speak? The plaintiff continues."
"My lord, we have never seen my wife since she became ill. When she was buried, I saw from a distance that her lips were still black and blue. It was obvious that she died of poisoning!"
A person in the courtroom clenched the sword in his hand. Mo Lan glanced at him. He was so calm. He was worthy of being the number one arrester in Heding Mansion.
"Come here, take off the sword of Shang Captou." Gan Ruizhi's beheading was inevitable, but it had to be done after he was convicted, and people who were kept in the dark had to see the truth clearly.
"Touch Shang, there is only one way to determine the cause of your daughter's death, which is to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy. Do you agree?"
Mo Lan knew that nothing could be tested with the medical technology of this era.
What's more, some people's bones will turn black after calcification, but they don't know it.
"Agree!" Shang Captou's tone was trembling, his nose contracted rapidly.
Mo Lan reached out and held his fists on top of his head. He slowly put his hands down and looked at Mo Lan with red eyes.
She was a little moved and whispered: "Please forgive me."
"Hmph, even if Shang Yunyan was poisoned to death, does it have anything to do with my son? She was a woman, and she went to a place like a boxing gym. Who knows if the poison was poisoned by the low-ranking people there."
Mrs. Gan simply stopped kneeling and sat directly on the ground, acting like a shrew.
Boom--boom--
The sound of drumming came from outside the government office
"Who is beating drums outside to complain? Bring him to court!"
The crowd dispersed, and three women, wearing cloaks, walked quickly into the lobby.
The people were talking a lot, isn't this Jin Yuerong? Can this dead person be resurrected? Wait, that’s Su Miaohua!
"Sir, a citizen's wife has been wronged. Let's beat the drum today and accuse Gan Ruizhi of murdering his wife! Collaborating with the enemy and treason!" Everyone immediately exploded.
Collaboration with the enemy and treason, how is this possible?
"quiet!"
"Jin, do you have any evidence?"
Jin Yuerong took out the organized evidence from his arms and presented it.
"Gan Ruizhi had secretly contacted Southern Xinjiang three years ago. When we were out for an outing, I discovered that he had a secret meeting with people from Southern Xinjiang. He was hit in the back by a poisonous arrow, which was specially made by Southern Xinjiang." Su Miaohua took out a short Arrows, the patterns on the arrows were drawn by Nan Xinjiang.
Jin Mingyue and Qiaoyun took off their cloaks, revealing some wounds.
"This servant is the personal maid of Gan Ruizhi, the fifth wife of this thief, called Qiaoyun. Gan Ruizhi pretends to be modest and polite on weekdays, but at night he beats and scolds my young lady, and we are not allowed to step out of the yard at all. Later, The young lady couldn't bear it anymore, so she took me to leave Gan's Mansion, but she was bumped into by this old woman. My young lady cried and begged her to let us go, but she had people take us back to the yard."
"Gan Ruizhi came back in the evening and poured hot tea directly on the young lady, saying that she would be unclean after leaving the yard."
"He also dragged the young lady into a secret room. I chased him, but he knocked her unconscious and tied her up. There were all kinds of torture instruments in there!"
"He tortured me and the young lady in turns. She also cut off the young lady's fingers and forced the young lady to eat them."
Jin Mingyue raised her folded hands. There were only four fingers scratched by various sharp blades.
"Gan Ruizhi imprisoned us in the secret room of Gan Mansion. These wounds were the torture he inflicted on us. The fourth wife also died in the secret room. In order to survive, I pleased him and made him get carried away, so that I learned about him The secret of treason.”
Mrs. Gan almost fainted. Collaborating with the enemy and treason was a crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.
She only knew that her son had changed as a result of Si Xinglan's betrayal. She also knew that the subsequent daughters-in-law died abnormally. She knew that he had a secret room, but she had never been to that dirty and filthy place.
She originally thought that as long as her son's anger subsided, it wouldn't matter if a few people died, and one day he would still be who he was.
"Report to your lord, Shang Yunyan's bones are black!"
Gan Ruizhi suddenly changed into a different person, with a gloomy air all over his body.
"Really? Since it is said to be evidence, let everyone see it to determine whether it is true or false!"
He didn't believe it. This bitch dared to confess those paintings.
