He Zhengming frowned and glanced at him, but said nothing.
Su Ruotang looked at the speaker with a half-smile but said, "How do you know that I said in the Dali Temple cell that my uncle had never been poisoned?"
The young official raised his chin proudly and asked, "Third Princess, do you admit that you said that?"
Su Ruotang's red lips curved wider, and she casually said three words, "I said it."
The little official's face became even more proud: "Then you are now saying that Tan Ming was possessed by a voodoo, and that he was controlled by the voodoo and pushed Master Wang into the water. Isn't this contradictory?"
Because he felt that Tan Ming deliberately harmed his colleagues, he would definitely be punished and executed.
Therefore, he only dared to call Tan Ming Tan Master on weekdays. Today, in order to let out a sigh of relief, he directly called Tan Ming by his full name.
Su Ruotang's cold eyes fell on the young official, indifferently, "I said that because there were no worms in my uncle's body at that time."
"Even now, there are no poisonous insects in my uncle's body."
Qin Feng frowned slightly: "Master Wuchen said that the wound on the back of Master Tan's neck was bitten by a voodoo insect. You also said that there is no voodoo in Master Tan's body."
"Isn't it a bit unclear what you are saying?"
Wuchen turned to look at Qin Feng: "Who are you?"
Qin Feng cupped his fists and bowed: "Qin is the number one scholar in the new science."
Wuchen said calmly and looked at Han Ye, "It's normal that Master Xiaohan can't try this case. Gu insects are rare, and the world's understanding of them is limited to the fact that they can kill people."
"But few people know that Gu can also quietly leave the host after controlling a person, or die silently in the host's body."
The pride on the young official's face faded.
He Zhengming frowned and said: "Master, what you mean is that Tan Ming was controlled by a voodoo insect and pushed Master Wang, and then the voodoo insect controlling Tan Ming left Tan Ming's body?"
Master Wuchen nodded: "Not bad."
The junior official argued forcefully: "Then how do you prove that Tan Ming is controlled by Gu insects?"
"What if the Gu insect just bit him and didn't get into his body to control him?"
After he said these words, he immediately won the approval of the officials from the humble family.
Wuchen glanced at him: "Yes, this is indeed a possibility."
"But the Gu that controls Tan Donor is called Soul-falling Gu."
"Soul-falling Gu?" He Zhengming murmured.
Wuchen continued: "When this kind of Gu enters the human body, it will die automatically within an hour."
"That means it can't be proven that the Gu insect has indeed entered Tan Ming's body?" He Zhengming frowned.
Wuchen smiled faintly: "No, there is another special thing about this kind of Gu, that is, when it enters the human body, it will lay eggs in the wound."
"The presence of insect eggs in the wound proves that it has entered the human body."
After finishing speaking, he asked Tan Ming, "Donor Tan, has anyone other than you touched the location of your wound?"
Tan Ming shook his head: "No, I felt a slight tingling on the back of my neck, so I scratched it. No one else touched it."
Wuchen looked at He Zhengming: "Congratulations, donor, please lend me a silver needle."
He Zhengming knew what Wuchen meant.
If Wuchen or Su Ruotang took out the silver needle, some people would question whether the insect eggs were on the silver needle.
When Wuchen lifted Tan Ming's hair, everyone saw with their own eyes that he had not touched Tan Ming's bite wound.
Even when pouring the potion, the wound was not touched.
This directly prevents anyone from suspecting that Wuchen or Su Ruotang put the eggs there.
Not long after, Qin Feng came back with a pack of silver needles.
Wuchen took out one, burned it on the candle flame, and then stabbed it into Tan Ming's wound.
Immediately, everyone was shocked to see something like a red insect egg picking up the tip of the silver needle in Wuchen's hand.
He looked at Han Ye and said, "Master Han, please bring me a glass of vinegar."
Han Ye immediately ordered the boy.
After a while, the waiter brought a glass of vinegar.
Wuchen put the insect eggs picked up on the silver needle into the vinegar.
The red insect eggs stained the surrounding vinegar with wisps of light red.
This faint red color quickly dissipated with ripples.
The insect eggs returned to their original off-white color.
Three breaths later, a scene that shocked everyone even more happened.
The off-white sesame-sized eggs gradually become larger.
Eventually, it turned into a black insect the size of a grain of rice.
It has two wings on its back, somewhat like a fly.
He Zhengming's eyes widened in shock: "Is this?"
Wuchen glanced at the Han Clan officials lightly: "This is the Soul Falling Gu. If Donor He doesn't believe that Donor Tan was controlled at that time, you can find someone to test it."
He Zhengming: "How to prove it? Don't all Gu insects need to be controlled by the mother Gu?"
Wuchen clasped his hands together, said Amitabha, and spoke slowly, "Gu insects that need to be controlled by the mother voodoo are relatively rare. After all, when the child voodoo dies, the mother voodoo's caregivers will also suffer the backlash."
"Most of the voodoos do not need to be controlled by the mother voodoo. Similarly, they are not as powerful as the voodoos controlled by the mother voodoo."
He Zhengming frowned and looked at the Soul-falling Gu in the cup.
After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice: "Master Han, please bring up a death row prisoner from Dali Temple."
The officer quickly brought a death row prisoner over.
Wuchen did not directly use the death row prisoners to test, but looked at Tan Ming, "Donor Tan, when you were bitten by a Gu insect, who did you look at?"
Tan Ming thought for a while and looked at his servant, "At that time, I slapped the back of my neck. He quickly asked me if I was feeling uncomfortable. I looked at him."
Tan Mansion's young man's face turned pale: "I just saw the master patting his neck, and I was worried that the master was not feeling well."
Su Ruotang looked at him lightly: "Really?"
Cold sweat broke out on Tan Mansion's forehead, and he explained: "I am the boy bought by Tan Mansion, and you are the master of Tan Mansion."
"As servants, we naturally have to care about our master's health."
Su Ruotang's eyebrows were suddenly filled with a smile, and she said with a full smile, "So sincere?"
The young man quickly said: "Your Excellency will take me back to Tan Mansion, so I will naturally serve you wholeheartedly."
Su Ruotang's white fingertips were carelessly playing with a silver needle.
The next moment, she suddenly thrust the silver needle into the boy's head.
The boy's expression was momentarily distorted, and then he became numb.
Su Ruotang opened his palm, and a pendant emitting bright red light fell from his fingers, shaking gently in front of the young man's eyes.
She stared closely into the boy's eyes, her red lips parted slightly, "Who else is there in your family?"
The boy replied blankly: "There is also a younger sister."
Su Ruotang continued to ask: "Why did you enter Tan Mansion in the first place?"
Boy: "My sister was sick, so I took her begging on the street. Master Tan felt sorry for me and gave me money to cure my sister, so I sold myself to work as a boy in Tan Mansion."
Su Ruotang's tone remained unchanged, but there was frost between his brows and eyes, "Master Tan is kind to you, why do you want to harm him?"
Pain and confusion appeared on the boy's face.
Su Ruotang gently shook the pendant and softened her voice a little, "Who told you to do this?"
