Gan Ruizhi felt a little uncomfortable being rubbed by her.
"If your country goes north, the soldiers in Heding Prefecture may not listen to me."
"Don't worry, Mr. Gan. You don't have to worry about military affairs. My people will take care of it naturally. You just need to control these six mountains and make them available to me. Hum!"
Su Miaohua turned around and ran when she heard this. A short arrow flew from behind and hit her shoulder.
"There's no need to chase her. She was poisoned by me and she won't survive tonight. But Mr. Gan, he lost his wife not long after we got married. Why don't I accompany you to relieve your boredom."
After that, the two rolled into a ball and were buried in the grass.
Su Miaohua ran to the river, pulled off her sachet and threw it on the bank.
He swam downstream along the river and stumbled back to Su's house.
Fortunately, the ancestor of the Su family came out of seclusion and used his spiritual power to disperse the poison in her body. However, the excessive consumption also forced the ancestor of the Su family to retreat again.
Since then, Gan Ruizhi has not been found to have contacted Nanjiang again, but these things alone cannot prove his guilt.
Until more than a month ago, news came of the death of Gan Ruizhi's fifth wife, and the Lou family welcomed someone.
Shang Yunyan's personal maid, Cuitao.
According to what she said, several of Gan Ruizhi's wives died under strange circumstances.
The third lady died in an accident. She came back from a boxing gym and died a few days later.
The maid said she saw her wife's lips were black and blue, she was obviously poisoned.
However, during the treatment period, no one else was allowed to come near, and the third lady was finally pronounced dead of the plague.
The fourth and fifth had never left the yard before the news of their deaths.
Until the fifth lady died, she opened the coffin while no one was paying attention, but there was no one inside.
Even the lady's personal maid was missing.
The maid had the courage to go to the house to complain, and even became their spy.
So the three of them simply used their plan to use her wife's death to establish evidence of his crime.
Killing him directly would not work. If he was still useful to Southern Xinjiang, then Mantuo would definitely not sit idly by and ignore him.
"Knock, buckle, buckle!" The door rang!
"Sir, there are many in the army."
Mo Lan rubbed his forehead, what's going on!
"As the adults have said, if Mantuo doesn't take action yet, it's probably because she's not sure whether Gan Ruizhi will die, but she may abandon the chess piece. Why don't we force her out!"
Suburban camp
"Hey, have you heard that Lord Nagan was caught for collaborating with the enemy and treason?" The cavalryman looked mysterious and spoke in a deliberately lowered voice.
Soldier B quickly looked around and said, "Don't lie, wasn't Mr. Gan killed Mr. Lou's daughter before he was arrested?"
"Don't you know this? Today we were transferred to the city. Miss Lou is not dead at all. It is just an excuse to arrest Mr. Gan. I heard that the interrogation will be held tomorrow. I look at Mr. Gan's body and bones. It won’t take more than a few moments to reveal everything.”
Soldier Ding said unconvinced: "What are you talking about? I also know that there are spies in our military camp!"
"What, don't scare me!"
"Hey! I lied to you. I am going to be struck by lightning. Tomorrow the governor will come to the army to investigate one by one. I heard that those spies have some special marks on them."
"Guess Shenren, go to sleep and don't talk anymore!"
In the middle of the night, a small group of people sneaked to the door of the military camp, and suddenly the torches around them were lit.
"Take it!"
Lou Zonghan put his hands on his hips and laughed: "Thank you so much, young master."
Mo Lan looked at the spy in front of him and frowned.
"Master Lou, I'm afraid you shouldn't get too happy too soon. The investigation must continue to prevent any fish from slipping through the net."
These few people working as spies cannot make big waves, and there are still people hiding in the army.
"Tsk, why hasn't this young master come yet? It's almost noon!"
"Why, it seems that Lord Tongpan misses me very much!" Mo Lan changed her clothes, tied all her hair back, and wore a belt around her waist, which made her look very cool.
Wang Tongpan smiled awkwardly and sat back in his seat.
"Take the prisoner Gan Ruizhi! Mr. Gan Li!"
Mo Lan's eyes at this moment wanted to skin him and cramp him, but she suppressed the anger in her heart and the process had to go.
"Gan Ruizhi, I now convict you of intentional homicide. Can you plead guilty?"
"The civilian woman pleads guilty. The civilian woman pleads guilty. I killed the person and it has nothing to do with my son. I can't stand her taking away my son. My son can only be mine." Mrs. Gan was lying on the ground excitedly. call out.
"How shameless, do you know the consequences of lying!" Liu Xuezhou stepped forward and kicked her.
Mrs. Gan Li was already a little delirious, "A civilian woman, a civilian woman dare not lie, everything was done by me, I did it, hahahaha, ah--"
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, "Sir, this woman has gone crazy. Of course 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!"
"I am hearing this case on behalf of King Qi today. Do you have any objections?"
The three of them knelt down and said, "I don't dare!"
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.
"Uncle Li, 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?
Mo Lan suppressed a smile and asked, "Can you three plead guilty?" Good guys, you have your moments.
"I plead guilty!"
"Since you plead guilty, go back and sit down. I will punish you later. Today's case has not been completed yet!" After saying that, he picked up the token in hand 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!"
"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.
"I 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.
Mo Lan was a little moved and whispered: "Thank you very much. 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 three members of the Gan family were stunned. Gan Zhilin originally had hope, but these alone could not convict his son. Yesterday's movement was indeed due to his carelessness.
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?
