Chapter 204 Overthrow, let me live!
A little bit of medicine made Gu Yingying suffer for a day and night, and she lay in bed like a exhaustion.
Gu Yingying's rosy and fair face was now as pale as snow, and her whole body was exhausted, making her sore and soft.
She only brought Guizhi, a maid, by her side. Guizhi went out to do business early this morning and was about to see her come back at noon.
Gu Yingying gritted her teeth and stood up from the bed, washed up with the cold water that Guizhi had brought this morning, and sat neatly in front of the bronze mirror to dress up.
There were rapid footsteps outside, and soon, the doorman's voice sounded at the door, "Miss Gu, something is wrong! Guizhi beside you was crushed to death by a carriage! The people from the Bingmasi came to the mansion to inform you, and told you to go to the Bingmasi Yamen."
Pick.
The rouge porcelain box in Gu Yingying's hand fell to the ground.
Guizhi is dead?
Gu Yingying's eyes were slightly stunned, her fingers were trembling slightly, and she was shocked by the news!
Guizhi grew up with her since childhood and gained her trust more than her parents. She never thought that Guizhi would die!
Gu Yingying held the dressing table, bit her lower lip hard, and tried her best to control her emotions. But no matter how hard she tried, she could not suppress her sudden rise. The soreness and weakness of her legs made her almost fall to the ground. She supported her hands on the stool before she could barely stabilize. She went to the door in surprise and opened the door. The woman's panicked face appeared in front of her.
"What were you saying just now? Say it again!" Gu Yingying asked gritted her teeth.
"Guizhi beside you was chased and crushed to death by the carriage on the street!" The woman was stared at Gu Yingying's eyes and said stutteringly: "It was Miss Shang who caught the murderer, and her wife had already rushed over."
Gu Yingying's fingers were tightly clenched at the door frame and breathed hard, trying to suppress the anger that was surging in her chest. Because of the extreme hatred, the muscles on her face trembled and twitched slightly.
She almost rubbed through the cracks of her teeth and said a short sentence, "Prepare a carriage for me!"
The old lady was like a general amnesty, and she ran away quickly.
Gu Yingying walked out of Gong Mansion and saw an ordinary black-peng green-clothed carriage parked at the entrance of the alley from a distance. The breeze blew by, lifting up a corner of the curtain, revealing a warm face. Gu Yingying paused, and she refused the carriage arranged by the mother-in-law and climbed up the black-peng carriage at the entrance of the alley.
When she arrived at the yamen, Commander Liu was sitting in the hall to investigate the case. There were several witnesses on the table who asked about the situation from the people. Shang Zhi and Shen Qiu stood in the middle of the lobby, silent, Guizhi was placed aside and covered with a piece of white cloth.
Gu Yingying came in, Shang Zhi looked up and saw that her face was covered with a layer of haze, her eyes were as cold as a cold blade, and her strong resentment was contained.
"Sir, Gu Yingying, the deceased Guizhi is the maid of the young lady. The two of them grew up together and are better than sisters. Please make the decision for her!" Gu Yingying knelt on the ground, bent down deeply and kowtowed.
Gu Yingying hated Shang Zhi to death, and this bitch always ruined her plan! If Shang Zhi had not broken Guizhi and asked Mr. Storyteller to spread rumors, and forced Guizhi to go to Mrs. Gong to expose the truth, how could Guizhi die? What was even more disgusting was Shang Zhi, who ordered Mr. Storyteller to spread rumors that she seduced Gong Xingchen, which was very rumored. The reputation she worked hard to maintain was destroyed!
Commander Liu saw that everyone had already arrived, holding a record of confession, "Shang Zhi, Shen Qiu, someone saw you seize Guizhi in Tianming Pavilion Restaurant, and then a dispute broke out in front of the door. Guizhi broke free from your clamp and ran away. It was Shen Qiu chasing her that she was crushed to death by the carriage. Witnesses said that before Guizhi died, they accused you of wanting to murder her!"
If he wanted to deliberately murder it before, then Chen Qiu caused Guizhi to be killed by killing her, the meaning would be different.
It was just a pure dispute. Guizhi was hit by avoiding Shangzhi, and the main responsibility lies with the owner of the carriage.
What Shang Zhi has to do is to defend and provide evidence to prove her innocence. She has no intention of harming Guizhi.
Shang Zhi said: "We didn't have the intention to murder her. We seized her because we caught Guizhi and found Mr. Hu, who was telling him about the storyteller in Tianming Pavilion. We asked him to spread rumors and ruin the reputation of my second brother. I caught him and took her home to confront her. She didn't want to go back to confront her, so she broke away from my clamp and deliberately hit the carriage."
"Are you saying that she deliberately hit you and framed you?" Commander Liu said: "Is there any evidence?"
Shang Zhi clenched his fists, "Mr. Hu is the witness."
Commander Liu said: "Transfer to Mr. Hu."
After a while, a tall and thin Mr. Hu, wearing light-colored clothes, walked in. He shrank timidly. When he saw Shang Zhi and Chen Qiu, he was trembling slightly because of extreme fear. He turned around and wanted to escape, but Gu Yingying stood behind him quietly to stop him from escaping.
Mr. Hu looked at Gu Yingying beside him and his whole body was shaking harder. He gritted his teeth and tried hard to remain calm. But no matter how hard he tried, panic and fear still appeared in his eyes.
Mr. Hu knelt on the ground and pointed at Shang Zhi and said tremblingly: "It's her! You killed Guizhi!" He pointed at a scabbed scar on his neck, "The scar on my neck was also cut by them! They threatened me to destroy the reputation of a girl. At that time, they had already grabbed Guizhi. Guizhi was very scared and was escorted to me to listen to my story. Guizhi was asking for help throughout the process. She was trembling and frightened, but I was a clay Buddha myself, how could I protect her or even rescue her? I could only watch Shangzhi drag her out of the hall!"
"Guizhi probably realized what she was going to face, and grabbed the table tightly, leaving a few scratches on the table. As soon as they left, I planned to report to the official, but I heard a scream, and then I heard someone shouting that someone was dead! I realized that something was wrong, so I hurried out of the teahouse and saw Guizhi lying on the ground, pointing at Shangzhi and died before he finished speaking."
In order to prove that he did not lie, Mr. Hu took out the money that Shang Zhi gave him, "Sir, this is the money that Shang Zhi gave me. She asked me to ruin Miss Gu's reputation. When you go outside, you can find out about Miss Gu's rumors outside, and you can go to Miss Gu to verify it, and you will know that what I said is true! They are simply robbers, forcing Miss Gu's innocence, refused to give a title, and forced Miss Gu to die. Miss Gu's fortune is great, and they are rescued. They ruined Miss Gu's reputation and wanted to use this to force Miss Gu to death!"
"Sir, the girl Gu mentioned by Mr. Hu is me. There is another inside story about this matter. You may not know yet. The girl will tell you. Before that, the girl's parents and Uncle Gong's parents were family friends, and the two families had an oral engagement. The girl's parents wanted me to fulfill the engagement with Gong's second son Gong's family. But Chen Qiu had a relationship with Gong's wife, and my appearance was an obstacle to her. In order to marry Gong's Xingchen, Chen Qiu put bans medicine in the snacks, and this snack that should have been given to Gong's Xingchen was taken. My medicine effect broke out, and her conspiracy was exposed, and she also searched for evidence in her. I don't want to make things happen, but unfortunately others don't seem to accept my love."
"The Gong family is not willing to marry the Gu family. I know that the Gu family is in a disadvantaged position. When the Gong family was promoted, they came to the door and demanded to fulfill the engagement. Moreover, at this time, the Gu family's business had declined and was incompatible with the Gong family. After I was Chinese medicine, my body was looked down on and I had no face to survive, so I hanged myself, but I was rescued. I thought this matter ended, but I didn't expect Chen Qiu to let me go for Gong Xingchen. Not only did Mr. Hu release rumors and force me to death, but also killed my maid!"
"People's words are terrifying, Zeng Shen killed someone." Gu Yingying burst into tears and said heartbrokenly: "Sir, I ask you to make the decision for the people! I will give Guizhi a fair and bring the person who murdered her to justice!"
Commander Liu fell into silence. If what Gu Yingying said was true, Chen Qiu and the others would have a motive for murder.
Nowadays, people and physical evidence are all present, and the facts prove that Shang Zhi and Chen Qiu are the murderers!
"Do you have something to say?" Commander Liu asked Shang Zhi and Chen Qiu.
The official in charge of the documents quickly recorded Gu Yingying's confession, and listed a crime to Commander Liu. After confirming that it was correct, he handed it to Shang Zhi and Chen Qiu.
"If you two cannot provide evidence to prove your innocence and get rid of your sins, then sign and seal it!" Limu handed it to Shang Zhi with a brush dipped ink.
Shang Zhi did not take the brush, "Sir, we are innocent! We are wronged when Mr. Hu and Gu Yingying's confession is false, so please observe clearly!"
Commander Liu frowned. Mr. Hu and Gu Yingying's words were not different from the news he investigated. They also showed evidence, "How can I determine that their confession was fake based on your empty words? According to my investigation, you have indeed bribed Mr. Hu and let him spread rumors that were unfavorable to Gu Yingying."
Shang Zhi curled his lips and smiled sarcastically: "How do you know that the words circulating in the capital are not rumors, but facts?"
Commander Liu was stunned. If Shang Zhi's words were true, then all the confessions of Mr. Hu and Gu Yingying would have to be overturned!
"Chen Qiu was wronged and she didn't put medicine in her heart. We suspected that it was a play directed and acted by Gu Yingying himself. We believed that she had other purposes and stared at the maid beside her. We found that she went to Tianming Pavilion Teahouse and heard that they were going to spread the news that their second brother had occupied Gu Yingying's innocence. I caught Guizhi and asked Mr. Hu to spread the truth. Gu Yingying took banned medicine and framed Chen Qiu. He also wanted to ruin the reputation of the Gong family and took Guizhi back to the Gong family to confront him. In order to protect Gu Yingying, Guizhi himself crashed into a carriage and died in order to die in order to have no evidence!"
"You are lying!" Mr. Hu immediately jumped up and accused Shang Zhi.
Shang Zhi's eyes were cold and he smiled coldly, "You said we took Guizhi away, and Guizhi left scratches on the table?"
Mr. Hu looked at Shang Zhi's cold gaze like a sharp blade, and his quibbling came out, choking in his throat.
"Sir, you can send someone to the teahouse. You may have investigated clearly where we sit with Guizhi to verify whether there are scratches on the table." Shangzhi asked.
Commander Liu immediately sent someone to the teahouse.
The teahouse is not far from the yamen, and it takes only two quarters of an hour to ride a fast horse back and forth.
Soon, the soldier came back and reported, "Sir, there are a few scratches on the table. The force is very strong, and the scratches are very obvious." Then he reported the shape and length of the scar to Commander Liu.
Commander Liu's face darkened, "Shang Zhi, what else do you have to say?"
Shang Zhi did not speak, but walked to Guizhi and prepared to lift the white cloth.
Gu Yingying's eyelids twitched, and she immediately knew where the flaw was. She rushed over and squeezed out from her throat word by word, with extremely resentment, "Shang Zhi, Guizhi have been killed by you. Do you still want to kill her? Let her die with your eyes open? You are helping the world, but you have a vicious heart!"
Shang Zhi said coldly: "Gu Yingying, what are you afraid of? I am afraid that she will grab the table and there will be no wood chips in the cracks of her nails? Or there will be no scars. Can you expose this lie at a glance?"
Gu Yingying did not speak, but just shed tears silently, looking at Shang Zhi with her sad eyes, concealing the panic in her heart.
Shang Zhi pushed Gu Yingying away suddenly, and when she fell to the ground, she lifted the white cloth and exposed Guizhi's hand.
"Come here." Shang Zhi pointed at the soldier, "What changes do you think will happen on your fingers that kind of scratches?"
"I tried it. If the nails are long, they will be broken. If the nails are broken, there will be wooden thorns piercing into the flesh." The soldier looked and checked Guizhi's hands.
Guizhi's hands were dry and fair. She was the maid who served Gu Yingying closely. She didn't have to do thick work. Her fingernails were clean and round, without any scars.
A panic flashed in Gu Yingying's eyes.
Mr. Hu's face turned pale, and his confession was overturned!
Shang Zhi did not intend to stop, but continued: "Gu Yingying said before that she would show her ambitions by death and prove her innocence. Since she had the determination to die, she would definitely not hang herself twice?"
Gu Yingying's face turned pale, and her eyes showed a look of panic. She gritted her teeth and suppressed the panic that surged in her heart, "Shang Zhi, what do you mean?"
Shang Zhi sneered and pointed at Gu Yingying's neck, "You are as smart as you, I'm afraid you haven't thought of looking in the mirror and checking the bruises on your neck? Maybe you checked it before, but you just ignored the bruises you strangled after Chang Le and others entered the yard, and then put your neck in and hang it. The time was too short and overlapped in one position, so you couldn't notice it at all. Your skin was too fair, and the purple marks you hung up the next day were revealed, one deep and one shallow, with clear layers."
Gu Yingying covered her neck in panic.
Shang Zhi approached Gu Yingying and pointed her neck with his fingers, "You strangled your neck and used force backwards. The bruises on both sides of your neck were slightly lowered. And you hung your white silk upwards and hung your neck upwards, which should be along the direction of your jaw temporal bone to the base of the earlobe. The direction and strength of the force are different, and the color and angle of the marks are naturally different."
Gu Yingying felt a chill on her neck, and Shang Zhi fell along the direction of her neck, and a piece of goose bumps appeared. A little bit of cold penetrated into the muscles and bones, and the coldness penetrated into the bottom of her heart.
"Shang Zhi, this is just your guess. These two traces of varying depths were when Chang Le rescued me. She made me hang twice! Just based on your guess, it does not mean that this is the evidence that I deliberately tied my neck and then hung it on me to pretend to be dead!" Gu Yingying tried her best to suppress the panic in her heart. Looking at Shang Zhi's stunned look, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips. This smile was cold and sarcastic. When facing Commander Liu, her eyes were filled with tears, and she suffered great grievances. She said sadly and angry: "Shang Zhi, everything is based on evidence. You said that I was using medicine to frame Shen Qiu, where is the evidence? If you show evidence, it proves that it is indeed what I did. I will admit my guilt immediately!"
Shang Zhi pinched his nails into his palm. She knew that she could only find Gu Yingying to get rid of the crime. Without evidence, she found all the flaws and suspicions that overturned their confessions, which was in vain!
But so far, she has not sent anyone to search.
"You can't come up with evidence, right? You are wrongly accusing me in order to get rid of the crime!" Gu Yingying's face was covered in tears, her eyes were sad, as if she was suffering from overwhelming humiliation, and she was about to faint. "Shang Zhi, now, you still want to throw dirty water on me and smear me. If you are so cruel and ruthless, I should take the initiative to contact the engagement to fulfill Chen Qiu and Gong Xingchen! I let go, I let him go now, can you let me go now? Please let me go!"
Shang Zhi pursed his lips and looked at Commander Liu, "Give me two days, I can find evidence."
Commander Liu shook his head, "You and Shen Qiu are both suspects. Once the case is finalized today, you will be transferred to the Ministry of Justice. Even if the case is not finalized today, you will be imprisoned."
Gu Yingying took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, covering the coldness in her eyes.
Shang Zhi looked at the provocation in Gu Yingying's eyes and opened her mouth to tell Commander Liu that she wanted to see Xue Shenzhi.
At this time, a soldier hurried in and said, "Sir, there is a witness who asks for a visit with evidence!"
Commander Liu waved his hand and "passed on it."
Shang Zhi suddenly looked up and saw Xue Shenzhi and Gong Xingchen walking one after another. Behind them, there was a woman holding a child.
