"You're back, reeking of alcohol. How much did you drink?"

After Cheng Ziyi settled her precious son down, she came to take care of the drunk Cao Kun!

Ever since she had a son, Cheng Ziyi no longer let servants do some things, but did them herself!

Maybe you feel that others won’t take care of you with all their heart?

He wiped Cao Kun's face, and because he was afraid that Cao Kun was thirsty, he poured him a glass of water!

"The monkey is here today!"

Cao Kun said something out of the blue, and Cheng Ziyi didn't understand. "Come on if you want to. You've already drunk a lot of wine, why are you telling me this?"

Cao Kun exhaled heavily and said something meaningful.

"There are still too few talented people. We have to find a way to recruit some!"

Cheng Ziyi frowned. This guy was making no sense, talking about this and that!

As for talents, forget it. The schools in Yangcheng are controlled by the military governor Yang Weian. All that is left for people like us are some scholars and juren left over from the Qing Dynasty!

They are all some weak and useless scholars, it’s better to have none of them!

When Cheng Ziyi turned around to look at Cao Kun again, he had already fallen asleep and was even snoring!

Cheng Ziyi smiled helplessly. It was rare to see Cao Kun like this. He could drink but he never drank too much!

After putting a glass of water next to Cao Kun's bed, Cheng Ziyi went to sleep with her baby son in her arms!

The next day, Cao Kun woke up and saw the water beside the bed. He looked at Cheng Ziyi who was sleeping soundly beside him. He couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, as long as this woman gave birth to a child, she would become a good wife and mother. She would no longer be the one who rode a horse and held a gun to chase him...

cough cough...

After breakfast, Cao Kun came to the county government office, which was left over from the Qing Dynasty and now serves as the county office of Wu County!

Everything is ready here now, just waiting for Marshal Cao to come and interrogate the prisoner!

"It's getting late, take the victim and Gu Nansheng!"

Soon, the victim and the criminal Gu Nansheng were brought to the court!

To call him a criminal was just the victim's one-sided statement. Gu Nansheng was not handcuffed or shackled, but walked into the lobby with his head held high!

"I greet the Marshal!"

Gu Nansheng was still as polite as ever, not feeling awkward at all about being suspected of murder!

kill?

Why didn’t the monkey say anything yesterday?

Originally, Cao Kun thought that Gu Nansheng was just hot-tempered and had done something immoral, but he didn't expect that this involved a murder case!

From ancient times to the present, human murder has always been a major case. If an innocent person is injured or killed, the person must pay with his life!

"Gu Nansheng, the victim Wang Xiu sued you for being lustful and murderous, causing his wife Xiuniang to die. Do you... have anything to say?"

Marshal Cao really wanted to bang the gavel, but found that there was none. He could only snort coldly and began to question Gu Nansheng with a stern face!

Gu Nansheng still held his head high, staring straight at Cao Kun, and bowed slightly, "General, I am honored to be chosen by you to be in charge of educating the people and improving their livelihood. How could I break the law knowingly?"

"Besides, with the position of a subordinate, if he wanted a woman, why would he do it himself and hurt her life? It's a joke!"

It has to be said that what Gu Nansheng said made sense, and Marshal Cao nodded. However, the incident had already happened, and it could not be handled according to common sense!

"Has the victim arrived?"

Only then did Cao Kun realize that there was only Gu Nansheng in the hall, and no sign of the victim!

The monkey replied, "The victim Wang Xiu hasn't arrived yet, but he should be here soon!"

Damn, what is this? The victim hasn’t arrived yet, and the presiding judge has been chatting with the defendant for a long time!

"Wait!"

Marshal Cao said this and everyone present waited quietly. About ten minutes later, the victim arrived!

Cao Kun took a look and realized, oh, it's an acquaintance. Isn't this the guy who tried to recommend himself at the Juxian Restaurant but had the opportunity snatched away by Gu Nansheng?

what do you say that is?

Uh, I seem to have forgotten to ask this little Karami's name!

"You are the victim, what's your name?"

Cao Kun clapped his hands... but there was nothing. He could only cough and begin the interrogation.

"I am Wang Xiu, Xiuniang's husband. I want to sue Gu Nansheng for being lustful and murderous, and for abandoning my wife's body..."

As Wang Xiu spoke, Marshal Cao looked at Gu Nansheng with a strange look in his eyes. You wouldn't really do something like giving birth to a child without a skin... would you?

In Cao Kun's impression, the frightened deer was still quite attractive...

If it is true that Gu Nansheng did something worse than an animal, I will definitely give an explanation to the victim!

After all, it’s… a fawn!

After Cao Kun heard Wang Xiu finish speaking, he turned his gaze to Gu Nansheng, "What else do you have to say?"

Gu Nansheng still looked like he had nothing to fear, and held his head high, "I didn't do it, so I can't admit it. I have evidence!"

evidence?

When Cao Kun heard this, he was happy. It was good to have evidence. With evidence, the case could be closed as soon as possible!

"Master Changqing of Songshan Temple can testify for me that Xiuniang's death was caused by evil spirits and has nothing to do with me!"

Cao Kun was immediately confused. Songshan Temple? Taoist Priest Changqing? He was actually a vicious evildoer?

Marshal Cao felt like his whole body was about to burst into pieces. What the hell was going on?

I am very afraid of evil spirits now, especially women...

Monkey, how about you come?

Cao Kun wanted to pass the blame, but found that the monkey tilted its head and didn't even look at Cao Kun!

Okay, I get it. That damn monkey has known all this for a long time and doesn't want to cause trouble for himself. Is he setting a trap for me?

Okay, monkey, we’ll see!

The monkey standing by felt the rage in the Marshal's eyes, and was also very panicked!

My dear brother, I am not trying to trick you, it is really...

My brother is not as tough as you!

Back then, you were bullied by the goblins. Now, aren't you still alive and kicking?

Monkey, my small body cannot withstand the torment of evil spirits. Some things have to be done by capable people!

For example, the wise and brave Marshal Cao...

"Snapped!"

"Bring Taoist Changqing from Songshan Temple!"

Burning with rage, Marshal Cao finally extended his vicious hand to the century-old elm table left over from the Qing Dynasty...

It’s so damn strong that Marshal Cao’s hands are numb!

"I am Changqing, a poor Taoist. I am honored to meet you, Marshal!"

Well, a very handsome Taoist priest walked into the lobby and bowed to Marshal Cao!

Cao Kun nodded and said, "Taoist priest, that's good. You shouldn't lie, right?"

"Changqing, can you testify for Gu Nansheng? Was that woman Xiuniang killed by an evil spirit?"

Chang Qing raised his head, looked at Gu Nansheng beside him, then looked at Wang Xiu beside him, and lowered his head, "No!"

For a moment, the whole hall was shocked!

Gu Nansheng looked at Changqing in disbelief, pointing at him with trembling fingers, unable to speak!

However, Cao Kun noticed the fleeting look of pride on Wang Xiu's face!

There's something going on here!
