The boy's face gradually calmed down: "I don't know, he gave me a lot of money."
Su Ruotang: "What did he ask you to do?"
Boy: "He asked me to look at Master Tan when he patted his neck, and whispered, 'Push him into the water'."
Su Ruotang continued to ask: "Can you see what he looks like?"
The boy looked dull: "No, he is wearing a bamboo hat and his voice sounds weird."
Su Ruotang: "How much did he give you? Where is the money?"
Boy: "He gave me a thousand taels of silver note, which he hid in a flowerpot in my room. You can see the green flower by the window when you pull it up."
When asked here, it can basically be proved that what Wuchen said is true.
Tan Ming was poisoned by the Fallen Soul Gu and was framed.
Poor official, you look at me, I look at you.
I was so angry that my heart ached.
They originally wanted to use this matter to severely suppress the family.
The result was a mess.
I offended the third prince, the third prince's concubine, and Tan Mansion, but I didn't get any benefit at all.
Qin Feng's face looked a little ugly: "Third Princess, what did you do to this young man?"
The one who answered him was Wu Chen, "The third prince's concubine uses the long-lost Soul Capture, which can make people tell the truth."
Su Ruotang put away the pendant: "Yes, I accidentally read it in a medical book before."
After finishing speaking, she looked at He Zhengming, "Master He, do you still doubt your uncle now?"
He Zhengming's face turned livid: "Since the third prince's concubine knows the soul-stirring technique, why didn't she use it on Tan Ming just now?"
Su Ruotang glanced at him lightly, playing with the pendant casually with her fingertips, "People who capture souls will become stupid."
Her cold voice fell, and there was silence around her.
After a while, He Zhengming covered his heart and said with a look of regret, "I didn't expect this slave to do such an ungrateful thing."
Wuchen glanced at the death row prisoner: "Are we still going to use Gu insects to test now?"
He Zhengming sighed: "No need."
Han Ye waved his hand to the yamen to take the condemned prisoner down, and looked at He Zhengming, "Mr. He Ge, Mr. Tan was controlled by a poisonous insect, and it is not considered intentional harm to his colleagues."
He Zhengming glanced at Mo Ronyan and let out a long sigh, "According to the law, Mr. Tan did not intentionally harm his colleagues. This was all planned by the people behind the scenes and had nothing to do with Mr. Tan."
"Master Tan, you can leave Dali Temple."
Han Ye breathed a sigh of relief, but he was afraid that He Zhengming would bite Tan Ming to death and push Wang Hen instead of letting go, and would bite Tan Ming to death and hurt Wang Hen.
He quickly raised his voice: "It has now been found out that Mr. Tan was killed by an adulterer, and he did not intentionally push Mr. Wang into the water."
Wuchen clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, Your Highness the Third Highness, the Third Prince and Concubine, Gu insects have come out again, you and others need to pay more attention."
"I hope the disaster for the common people can be avoided..."
The last sentence is extremely light.
Except for Su Ruotang and Mo Rongyan, no one else heard it.
"Master Tan, I was so aggressive before, I can't help it." He Zhengming could be a veteran of two dynasties, had been in the officialdom for many years, and was a role model for officials from poor families. He was naturally the kind of person who understood the overall situation.
Tan Ming clasped his fists: "Mr. He, you are only upholding the laws of the court."
He Zhengming let out a long sigh, bent down and clasped his fists towards Su Ruotang, "Third Princess, you are doing good things to help the people. The old minister just suspected you and His Highness, which is really wrong."
Mo Ronyan said in a calm voice: "Dongqi law prohibits officials from killing each other, and there is nothing wrong with what He Gelao did."
A flash of shame flashed in He Zhengming's eyes: "The people behind the scenes are very clear about choosing Mr. Tan. If you and the third prince's concubine protect Mr. Tan."
"Then officials from poor families will inevitably quarrel with officials from aristocratic families, and the laws enacted by His Majesty over the years will lose their binding significance."
Mo Ronyan pointed to the essence: "The people behind the scenes are targeting this temple."
In other words, he wanted to provoke a fight among Dongqi officials and cause civil strife in the Dongqi court.
Mr. He Ge glanced at the many officials from poor families and said solemnly: "We are all officials in the same court. Please remember your responsibilities and do your work in a safe manner."
"I understand." Everyone agreed in unison.
Su Ruotang sighed lightly and gave He Zhengming a concentration pill, "He Ge is old. Did you sleep well last night? Take this pill and have a good rest."
He Zhengming's eyes were even more ashamed: "Old minister, I have thanked the third prince and concubine."
After Wuchen left Su Ruotang a book about Gu insects, he unceremoniously asked Mo Rongyan to send him back.
Tan Ming did not intentionally harm his colleagues, but was controlled by the Gu, so he returned to Tan Mansion.
Su Ruotang and Tan Ming returned to Tan Mansion together, while Mo Rongyan returned to the palace to report to Emperor Wu Shun about the Dali Temple.
Tan Xiuyuan and Feng were both saddened when they heard about Tan Ming's poison.
Su Ruotang frowned slightly: "Uncle, did you not take the medicine I gave you?"
Logically speaking, her pills are enough to resist the Soul Falling Gu.
If my uncle had taken medicine, he probably wouldn't have been poisoned.
Tan Ming hesitated and nodded.
Ms. Wang suddenly became anxious: "Did you not take your medicine?"
Tan Ming nodded and whispered: "I gave it to General Gu."
Su Ruotang was slightly startled when he heard Tan Ming's words.
Then he bit his lip in annoyance: "It was my negligence. I forgot to give General Gu the medicine."
After saying this, she took out a few more pills and said, "This is the medicine I refined. Grandpa and grandma, please keep it."
She thought for a while and added, "I will continue to refine the pills. You can keep enough for yourself and distribute them to those who need them."
Tan Xiuyuan picked up the bottle, poured one for Tan Ming, stared at him and drank it, and said worriedly: "Tang'er, Su Muyao learned the art of Gu from somewhere, and became the adopted daughter of Duke Dingguo."
"If she plays a poison on the people, the consequences will be disastrous."
Su Ruotang leaned on the back of the chair, her delicate and beautiful facial features looked particularly cold when her expression faded.
The ends of her naturally upturned eyes were slightly raised, "The capital is a land of crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and she will not act rashly."
Tan Zhixi nodded, her pretty little face full of disgust, "Su Muyao's goal is to become the crown prince or queen."
Feng said in disgust: "A lowly person dares to dream about that noble position, and he doesn't hold a basin of water to look at her to see if she is worthy."
Su Ruotang's eyebrows were as cold as frost: "Grandpa, uncle, you should pay more attention to the condition of beggars during this time."
"As soon as you find anything unusual, tell His Highness immediately."
Tan Xiuyuan and Tan Ming nodded: "Okay."
After breakfast with Tan Xiuyuan and others, the butler Xiong Feng came to report, "Master, there is someone outside the door asking to see Miss Biao."
